All Warriors Are My Disciples

78. War

Let’s see, who was the king who ruled the kingdom?

It’s not an NPC, it’s just a character that gets mentioned in text and passes by.

At least it was literally ‘air’ that disappeared without even appearing in a few lines.

I tried to roll my head, but I couldn’t come up with anything.

It was definitely not a difficult name, but I don’t think I’ll remember it.

I’d rather ask right away if it doesn’t come out at all.

As this seems to come to mind again, useless errors arise.

This is as if the strategy was openly stated.

In a situation that seems to break, I will break with my own strength, gritting my teeth.

Describe it as similar to that sh*tty situation… I want to become this

“Master? You don’t look good. Do you have any problem….”

“Gerard.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Keep quiet for a moment.”

It wasn’t until after I stopped Gerard from worrying about me.

I barely remembered that the head of the royal family was ‘Carlos II’.

For about a second, I thought, “Wow, I finally remembered.”

After that, as expected, the extreme hyeonta came very hard.

It’s something I feel really, very occasionally, really occasionally.

It was clear that I was definitely not insane.

To be honest, such a madman would have spent 300 in a month after this game came out.

“Why is Master’s expression like that? Just like going to the bathroom and coming out refreshed and not washing your hands.”

“… Iris. Even if you express it, it must be like that. I told Master to refrain from rude words and actions.”

“Sorry, the death penalty. But just a moment ago, Master was like that no matter who sees it.”

This is why disciples with good senses are tired.

While thinking that, I spoke to Gerard, who was clicking his tongue.

“Gerard. Let me ask you something.”

“Anything is welcome.”

“Quiet a little. Lower your voice.”

“Oh, yes. Sorry.”

“Didn’t I say that the current king was Carlos II?”

“Yes. I am King Carlos II.”

“What is your opinion of him? Both the objective evaluation known to the public and your subjective evaluation.”

“Ummm… well. First of all, from what is known to the public, most people say that he is just an ordinary king. They say he keeps the aristocrats in check and has a lot of pro-commoners policies.”

“Just because he is good to commoners doesn’t make him a good king. As a result, if the dissatisfaction of the aristocrats is rampant and the internal atmosphere is disturbed, there is no more foolish female army.”

“I agree. Rather, as a reaction, the nobles are more hostile to the commoners.”

A good example is that nobles don’t openly fight monsters or monsters.

There were more and more things that could be used as bait or not saved.

It’s not the royal family that has protected them until now, but the nobles in charge of the area.

Now that they have turned their backs on me, they don’t just obey me, they keep making demands.

It was infuriating that commoners dared to hold their heads stiffly in front of nobles.

The funny thing is that the royal family is implementing the policy, but it is the commoners who have to endure the consequences.

Thanks to this, those who get hit this way and that way gradually turn into worshipers of demons.

From the royal family’s point of view, it’s unfair, and from the aristocracy’s point of view, they themselves have something to say.

The commoners just do it because they are told to do it, but they get hostility.

Such an unfunny situation was going on.

“What about the forces behind the king and the countermeasures?”

“Not too many. The Royal Guard Knights and the Royal Guards who stay in the castle are a sure force, and there are a few other noble families that are related by blood.”

The power of the royal family is so great that even that might be enough.

But in the end, everything has a golden age and a dark age.

As you can see, the golden age of this kingdom has long since passed, and it is on its way to a dark age after going through decline.

Thankfully, there is only one country, not many.

The nobles were still at the level of enduring the royal family because it was very difficult.

On the outside, it looks like a powerful country that unified the continent.

In reality, there are holes drilled from the inside.

The hostility towards this world is so strong that it will crumble if it is only slashed.

The current continental situation could be said to be exactly like that.

“That’s why the royal family is wary of the warriors, and yet they are not hostile to them.”

“It would be a burden to become an enemy, and a burden to become an ally. I understand that part.”

“Anyway, my subjective evaluation due to those parts… Not good, that’s about it. He has good intentions but no solid grounds, he has no perseverance to push them forward, and he is a king who does not speak out strongly because of the declining royal family.”

“After all, it’s neither this nor that. Thank you for your honest evaluation.”

Thanks to this, I was able to draw a clear conclusion on how to treat Carlos II.

Or something like an idiot who can’t even grasp the situation.

I was thinking about what to do if you’re the type of person who just gets hit with sh*t without doing anything.

At that level, you should be able to properly coax and press appropriately.

“This way.”

In the midst of that, we arrived right in front of Daejeon.

The vice-captain, who was guiding us this way, quietly stepped back.

Me, Gerard, and Iris waited for a while, and soon the gate to the Great War opened.

Although it has declined a lot now.

Still, it is a kingdom that has the entire continent under its name.

Because of this, the magnificent appearance of Daejeon unfolded in front of me was unparalleled no matter where I looked.

Unknowingly, I thought, ‘Oh… I almost let out a sigh.

But neither Gerard nor Iris show much reaction.

Under such circumstances, the warriors’ teacher cannot react too lavishly.

I moved on with a nonchalant expression on my face.

“Come here. Warriors who fight to keep the peace of the continent.”

When we arrive in front of the throne, a middle-aged man sitting there greets us.

The king of the continent, Carlos II, who existed only in text without any setting picture.

Looking at him slightly sideways, he was at the level of an old man with a bit of cuteness.

“Meet Your Majesty the King.”

At first, I was a bit worried that they would ask me to kneel down.

But according to the vice-captain, if it’s an opponent who hasn’t sworn an oath of allegiance.

He says that even a king cannot give orders to kneel down.

Thanks to me, Gerard, and Iris.

For all three, there was no problem with just bending down a little.

“Guardian warrior Gerard. I’ve heard rumors that you saved a city the other day. Thank you very much.”

“I just did my job.”

“Mugeuk, the same goes for you. They cleared out all the monsters flocking to the plains.”

“… It was a time when I wondered if there would be strong guys, but there weren’t any, so it was a pity.”

I was worried about what would happen to Iris if she spoke in an unflattering way.

Fortunately, he wasn’t the kind of guy who would incur hostility while keeping the minimum courtesy.

“And… We have one more guest today.”

“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty.”

“I heard the story. They say that those who attacked the divine hero were defeated in one blow.”

“That’s it. That was lucky.”

“Luck never goes to the weak, nor to those who don’t try. In that sense, you seem to be worthy of that good fortune.”

Carlos II slowly rises from his seat.

Then he came down from the throne and walked to the center of the Great Hall.

“Are you really the teacher of the warriors?”

“Yes.”

“From the sword warrior to the poison warrior. Heroes that cannot be explained other than saying that they are enormous like one. A person like the father who taught all those warriors?”

Parent… I guess it’s a bit like that.

Of course, some students really followed me like their parents.

“Really… What a man. From this point of view, no matter how many times I try, I can only see him in his mid-20s. Excuse me, may I ask your age?”

“There will be more than Your Majesty thinks.”

Even though it’s been over 10 years.

I still have the body I had when I fell into this world.

As the years passed, all the disciples changed, but I was still the same.

Thanks to that, all the little guys are looking at me as a dating partner now.

“I guess so. Anyway, thanks again. It must have been impossible to remain silent in a situation where disturbing movements were transmitted from all directions and many people were in pain.”

“Actually, I came here because I judged that something might be wrong in the castle.”

I have no intention of pulling back.

It’s good to get straight to the point and be promised what I want.

“… What do you mean? What could be the problem in the royal castle?”

“In the meantime, we have defeated demons and worshipers of demons from the shadows, invisible places. As a result, they are in this country. To bring great confusion to everyone on the continent. We got information that they were planning something decisive and extremely dangerous.”

“What exactly does that have to do with the matter about the royal castle?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Of course, this is what I decided to do next.”

Then Carlos II was silent for a while.

Not only the king, but also the knights who guarded the area.

Some of the servants in the back also frowned slightly.

Well, I already expected such a reaction.

Even in the midst of all kinds of chaos all over the continent.

Monsters run rampant and monsters pop out when you forget.

Even though demon worshipers continued to propagate and increase their church power.

The capital city and its surroundings have never caused chaos.

It is natural.

There is a Royal Guard Knights, where many high-ranking knights are deployed.

Because even the soldiers of the royal castle, who boast the highest level of training, are standing firm.

Above all, most of the people staying here are highly loyal to the royal family.

If you’re thinking that someone might be a drunk worshipper.

I think it is loyalty to the royal family, so I will report it right away and start the investigation.

According to Gerard’s words, even demon worshipers hardly touched the castle.

No matter how hard you try to pierce it, you can’t pierce it because the shield is too thick in the first place.

– From their point of view, what I mean is denying all of that. –

But, according to Iris’ words.

And judging from the guy’s experience, that castle was eventually pierced.

Someone betrayed me inside and made me prepare to summon a monster.

It caused a lot of blood to flow and made the demon’s fragment descend.

The capital they believed in so strongly would eventually fall.

“… I think you are well aware that the capital city is equipped with stronger defenses than any other place.”

“Of course. However, people are inherently prone to making mistakes, and where they gather, gaps are always revealed, and enemies do not miss those gaps.”

“There are no gaps here. Every day, day and night, loyalists tour the capital and its surroundings, preparing for any contingencies. Also, if there were gaps, things would have happened a long time ago.”

“Maybe the enemy was just being silent to prepare?”

At my words, King Carlos II looks at me in silence for a while.

After that, he puts on an expression that he doesn’t quite understand.

“If it’s true, I’m afraid Wang-seong came here. I am very grateful for that. But, there is one thing I don’t quite understand.”

“What is it?”

“In addition to Gerard and Iris, who are already well known as warriors, even you. If you came to the castle so openly, even demon worshipers wouldn’t be able to do anything here unless they were idiots? What kind of lunatics would do this when there are two warriors and their teacher?”
