Overgeared

ed his brother was rejected by Chucksley.

‘He is scary!’

In addition, the value of Chucksley’s existence was decreased.
He felt helpless that he couldn’t protect Prince Ren.
Chucksley swallowed his fear, anger, and despair as he bowed to Aslan.

“…I will follow.”

This was his duty.
No matter what Aslan was, Chucksley had to follow him since he served the Eternal Kingdom’s royal family.

But.

‘A person blinded by the throne and borrowing the power of a foreign nation to kill his brother, I can’t really be loyal to you.’

He would just perform his duty.
Chucksley’s hot loyalty for the royal family cooled.
However, Prince Aslan wasn’t aware of his internal thoughts and was happy.

“Today is a happy day.”

Prince Aslan, who was destined not to be king just because he was born two years later than Prince Ren.
He had always cursed his fate.
As a prince who couldn’t be king, he hated his rotten life.
Now his fate changed thanks to Prince Ren’s stupidity.

“Now, let’s go back.
I will take care of my brother who was killed by Duke Grid.”

February 10th, Year 406 of the Eternal Kingdom.

1st Prince Ren started his invasion of Reidan with only an army of 7,000 people.

February 17th, Year 406 of the Eternal Kingdom.

13th King Wiesbaden died and 2nd Prince Aslan became king.

February 21st, Year 406 of the Eternal Kingdom.

14th King Aslan declared at a meeting.

“Duke Grid might’ve killed the prince, but he isn’t guilty.
Prince Ren forgot about Duke Grid’s merits and invaded without any justification.
He was clearly wrong and Duke Grid only defended himself.”

After that.
Grid was able to maintain his position and lead a life that wasn’t any different from before, despite being charged with killing Prince Ren.
His position as one of the great lords of the Eternal Kingdom was still solid.

But this wasn’t what Lauel desired.

‘In my original plan, Grid’s position should already be beyond the royal family’s.’

He intended to take advantage of Prince Ren.
However, all his plans were useless after someone killed Prince Ren.
The culprit who killed Prince Ren? Lauel was convinced that it was King Aslan.
But this wasn’t a problem that he could bring to the surface.
There was no exact proof and no justification for it.
King Aslan was showing favor towards Grid.

‘Clever.’

By acting like this, he restrained Grid from growing, while accumulating friendship with Grid.
On the other hand, the king teamed up with the empire and could expand his economic and military power.

‘There was an attitude of explicit cooperation with the empire immediately after Aslan was crowned King.
This proves that the imperial royal family is behind Aslan.
Aslan will be able to lay his foundation thanks to the empire, while the empire can perfectly control the Eternal Kingdom.
It’s a good thing for both of them.’

Aslan, he was a troublesome opponent.
Rather than frowning, Lauel laughed at the thought.

“Kukukuk…! King Aslan, this was good.
You’re the first opponent to stimulate my passion.
The folds of my brain are twitching with excitement.”

Lauel held up a big hand and covered half of his small face.
He leaned back on the window and lifted the transparent glass.

“I can’t wait.
The master of the glass filled with bitter tears will be me.”

So…

Grid was rejoicing while Lauel was immersed in this atmosphere.

“King Aslan sent another gift? Hey, he’s a nice guy.
Hahaha! He is much better than the former king!”

After the war.

He acquired a lot of loot and King Aslan sent gold treasures, so Reidan became abundant.
This would be the foundation on which all 1,000 of Reidan’s soldiers could arm themselves with the Mass Production Grid Set.
The soldiers of Reidan were being reborn as true elites.

***

“Eh?”

Grid was busy making the Mass Production Grid sets with the four God Hands.
He went out for a walk and to spend time with Lord, only for his eyes to widen.
The cause was the large number of farmers working in the fields.
It seemed to have grown by 1,000 people.

“Where did all these people come from?’

Reidan was suffering from a population problem, so how were there so many farmers? Piaro came over to the grumbling Grid and explained.

“I picked them up by chance in the Altes Mountains.”

“…”

Picked up people in the mountains? It was also more than 800 people? It was a ridiculous explanation.
However, Grid believed it because he had a history of bringing the Ul Clan here.

“There must be an ethnic minority living in the Altes Mountains.
Very good.
It is no wonder why I didn’t see you during the war.”

It was the moment when soldiers of the Eternal Kingdom were treated as a minority.

Royman had a question.
She confirmed that Grid was busy with Lord in his arms and asked Piaro.

“Piaro, why didn’t you tell the duke the truth? They aren’t a minority, but people from the Eternal Kingdom like us.”

“I don’t want the workforce I obtained to be taken away into the army.
This isn’t an act to deceive My Lord.
Farming is a national power, so in the end, I made a choice for My Lord.
I will also train them to do some military exercises.”

“I see!”

Royman witnessed Piaro’s overwhelming skills and sincerely admired Piaro.
Everything that Piaro said sounded right.
Anyway, 850 farmers were added to Reidan.
They worked in the fields in the morning and received military training at night.
Mixed among them was Aura Master Hurent.

‘What am I doing now?’

It was very confusing and embarrassing, but he couldn’t help desiring the results of the ‘★ Hidden Quest ★ Fun and Exciting Training.’ Reidan was becoming stronger day by day.
