Episode 750 Great Operation Before the Elf Village (7)
It was dawn and it was morning.
A knight approached King Deogard, who was preparing for a meeting.
“Your Majesty, I have an urgent report to give you.”
“Ugh. Say it.”
When permission was given, the knight opened his mouth.
“The Holy Land has canceled the dispatch of one battalion and sent priests and priests as soon as they can afford it.”
Deogard, who had listened to the report calmly, forgot his chest at the knight’s words and jumped up from his seat.
“That’s what…”
“Also, the Harfman Merchant promised to resume business, and they said they would bring in support supplies during the week. Instead, I asked you not to neglect supporting the frontiers with the capital as the main axis.”
The King, who had heard that far, was speechless for a moment.
Seongguk, which was dispatching a small battalion to save face, sent a large-scale manpower and released funds as if it had been done at the top of the halfman who turned its back.
The situation in the kingdom, which was on the verge of despair, was changing overnight.
‘What the hell is going on.’
Even if it wasn’t so, since he cut ties with the half-man’s upper house, heukbang’s check was severe, and there was a setback in trade.
Every day felt like hell because of the anxiety that he might be ruined in his generation.
Raised up to the sun, King Theogard guessed it.
The person who came last night and asked permission to declare the kingdom.
Wouldn’t it be possible for him to be the representative of the Goddess and the leader of the Hafman Merchant Company?
If so, this is a gift from him.
Deogard was keenly aware of the mistake he had made by pretending not to know about the war that broke out in the duchy in the past.
If there is something received, there must also be something going.
He set aside the parchments about the talks that had been spread out on the table.
“Let’s be thankful for the support of the Harfman Company! Respectfully serve the envoys of the Holy Land, and if there is anything you need later, do not spare anything and become a colonel! There will be no negligence!”
“Yes, I understand!”
The knight bowed his head and went to battle.

While preparing to greet the people of the Holy Kingdom in the castle.
Ray was sizing up the supplies with Hafman.
“Lord Taesangdan, please reconsider. What will we eat if we support this much material at once? It’s not that the upper class is digging and doing business, but if you ask for money, will money come out?”
If it was Ray’s usual words, the half-man, who would die, grabbed the hem of his robe and begged.
“If you eat alone, your stomach will burst. Sometimes you have to do good things.”
“A good thing depends on what a good thing is, isn’t this just about giving it away!”
Hafman said, ‘Lord Taesangdan, you’ve been caught!’ he shouted.
Of course I know.
No matter how much it is said to be the first large group in the eastern continent, there is nothing left after doing business like this.
But what?
Currently, the Kingdom of Celia was walking a path that was so close to collapse that it would be difficult to revive it if it did not do this.
Can you imagine a kingdom where there are no people on the streets?
If I hadn’t seen it myself, I wouldn’t have believed it either.
‘First of all, I’m going to take a look at the breath.’
As soon as possible, the funds line is organized first, and the remaining plagues in the kingdom are stabilized using the castle’s manpower.
Borrowing the name of a goddess, she went so far as to ask for dispatch.
okay.
What’s good about living long
Ray decided to think positively.
“Even if Hogu is captured, the person who will be saved must be saved. It’s an investment. As much as I poured my strength into the kingdom of Celia, it is bound to come back.”
“Will His Majesty, that salty stone, give it back? It’s good if you don’t ask for more!”
“Have you lived only by being deceived? wait eagerly I will definitely come back.”
“her.”
I’ve already hardened my heart to the point where I couldn’t stop it.
Hafman sighed a few times and quickly agreed, knowing full well that once Taesangdanju made up his mind, he could not turn back.
“All right. I will spread it all out. If it’s not enough, I’ll remove even the pillars from the top of the main tower and offer it to you.”
“It’s that mindset.”
“When you receive it instead, you will get back many times over. I sacrificed money like my own children, so it has to be that much to make ends meet.”
“don’t worry. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll go get it myself. Hehehe.”
“Didn’t you say that a long time ago? Even the king won’t be able to do anything because he was mistakenly caught by Taesangdanju, who is like a truly mad dog that won’t let go once bitten.”
To say it twice is nagging.
As I listened while shaking my head, I felt strange, so I raised my fist slightly.
Haffman quickly changed the subject.
“Anyway, the Holy Kingdom managed to accept the request.”
“Even if I look like this, I’m a saint, so I can’t ignore it.”
“But, when you left the Holy Land, didn’t you already give up your position as a saint? Originally, not even the seeds would have been eaten.”
“I was lucky. Since there is a civil war going on in the Holy Land, we need a topic that can bring attention to one place.”
“I really don’t know if this is okay. It’s like the troops of the Holy Kingdom are entering Silia, so if they decide otherwise, the situation will get worse.”
“Even the king is not an idiot. I probably made the minimum preparations.”
Moreover, if the Seongguk takes advantage of this situation and launches an ambush, it will not be able to avoid criticism from the surrounding kingdoms.
Of course, I don’t think Pope Eclay would do such a thing, but since she would do anything for the sake of the Holy Kingdom, the possibility could not be ruled out.
Hafman also nodded as he understood the current situation to a large extent.
“Surely, that won’t happen unless we dream of being together in the Holy Land.”
“yes.”
“Then, the principality will be reborn as a kingdom as planned.”
Ray nodded.
“Right now, the priority is to move the elven village. It’s good to help Celia, but leave funds to care about the principality. If it is reborn as a kingdom, the headquarters of the guild will also be moved.”
“I will be familiar with it.”
Hafman answered, hesitantly.
When the Principality is transformed into the Kingdom, it must be expected that Kongomul will fall at the top.
His thoughts were impure, but considering the hardships he had suffered so far, it was a reasonable request.
“Then I’ll go and see. If you ever have a problem…”
“Sober. That halfman is a good guy. I will overcome any adversity by myself.”
I don’t know if it’s when I shut my mouth, but when Halfman opens his mouth, I don’t have much faith, so I was a little anxious.
“Don’t forget to report regularly.”
“Of course not. Don’t worry, mind the principality.”
Ray, who looked only at the half for a while, soon went above.
Not knowing that there are people watching from afar.

“Sixty-seven.”
“Know.”
The man who was polishing his sword on the hill blew a strong wind.
Looking at the sharpness of the day, he smiles satisfactorily.
“There are no more failures. Don’t let me down.”
“You worry about nothing. If you’re not that trustworthy, I’ll step out myself.”
The young man shrugged.
“On the day I fail, I might die.”
“You have a trashy personality. Don’t you have any mercy for your subordinates?”
“It’s even more ridiculous if you want to be treated as a subordinate after sticking a knife behind your back. Don’t talk like this. It seems like the time has come.”
The young man hinted at the top.
In an instant, the clouds blocked the moonlight, making it dark.
Sixty-seven, who was polishing his sword, was suddenly invisible.

So-Young and his party arrived at Count Serian’s direct jurisdiction.
It was strange that the atmosphere was bleak from the entrance, but I could understand the reason when I went a little further and reached the fortress.
“Looks like monsters are infested.”
“Monsters in the county’s direct control…”
Although the walls were high and holding up, the presence of monsters felt from all sides was unusual.
No matter how strong the castle walls are, if left as it is, the anxiety of the people of the territory would not be so great.
The black spirit asked while salivating.
“Are you not planning on subjugating me?”
Then Levia shook her head.
“We cannot subdue them with our own strength.”
“Can’t subdue?”
“yes. Our county of Cerian is a margrave territory bordering the neighboring kingdom, and is allowed to have more soldiers than other nobles. However, there are foreign countries outside and monsters inside, so the number of soldiers dying every day is not small. Because of that, I’ve been asking the royal family to increase the number of soldiers, but… the central aristocrats are interfering with it…” There
was hostility at the end of his words.
It was clear that he had suffered quite a bit during that time.
Heukyoung and Soyoung looked at the soldiers collecting the corpses of monsters scattered around.
They didn’t look frightened at all, even though monsters were swarming down the mountain range, probably because they were used to it.
“The dismantling team is speeding up more. The carrier waits by the side.”
“Hey, if you have spare hands, stick with me.”
The spectacle of a person who could not even infuse a sword aura and dismantle monsters with a knife the size of the palm of his hand was truly spectacular.
It was possible because he had dealt with monsters more than most adventurers’ guilds.
Black Young laughed.
“I don’t know whether to look at this as good or bad.”
It is a good thing for soldiers to grow in their dexterity.
Based on the experience of fighting monsters, his skills would be evident even when fighting enemies.
Soyoung shrugged and said.
“Well, it’s much nicer to look at than the stumbling soldiers.”
“The endless threat of monsters raised the level of the soldiers. Occasionally, I see seasoned ones who look like apprentice knights.”
Levia replied to the dark spirit’s murmur.
“At the count’s house, once a week, soldiers are taught combat skills directly. Although it is extremely rare, those who are quick to learn and have good skills are elevated to the ranks of decembers and centurions.”
“Hoo.”
It usually takes several years of experience to run the decathlon.
It is because it is easy to command the soldiers when you have to know the faces of the soldiers and know how the barracks work and its structure.
However, this is a story limited to other peaceful territories, and in the case of Count Cerian’s family, where battles do not cease, a structure in which the strong succeed in life was suitable.
‘In a way, this is more like a kingdom.’
It seemed that this place was more awake than the kingdoms that were so engulfed in peace that they could not even defend their military strength.
“I will guide you. Come over here.”
As if they weren’t tired, the two of them looked around for a while, but at Levia’s words, they immediately looked away.
