In my heart, I wanted to kill the matriarch.

However, if the person who converted to our ally is left to die, how can the next converts trust and convert?

That’s why the matriarch couldn’t be killed. Unless another sin occurs.

“I’ll have to kill you someday, but… ”

I guess that’s not today. So the matriarch was saved.

Even though he was a cockroach, the battle was already over.

The allies were gathering loot. If the person’s claim that he or she has played an active role matches the testimony of those around him, he will be recognized as a major and the loot he has collected will be distributed to those who have accomplished a lot in that major.

Leona finished distributing the loot as quickly as possible. The distribution of loot is bound to be accompanied by a banquet, but Leona boldly skipped the banquet.

And Leona placed the minimum number of soldiers in Assos Castle and immediately ran to Arcadia.

Previously, we marched 40 kilometers a day, but this time it was not easy. This was because the soldiers were exhausted from the long march and war.

Nevertheless, Leona marched to the capital at a fast pace, and was soon able to enter the nearly empty capital.

—–

The capital we entered was like hell.

Because there were no walls for a long time, thieves ran wild. Because of this, all people were like beggars. No, he wasn’t a beggar, he was really a beggar. A child who must have been about 10 years old followed the parade of soldiers and held out a small bowl. It meant asking for money. These children were not the only ones. These adults were not the only ones.

The officers tried to drive out the beggars, but it was not easy. To them, not receiving a penny was like dying, so there were a handful of people who ran back after being hit by a spear.

However, it was impossible to kill him. I have to rule the capital from now on, so why should I be hostile to the people of the capital?

In the end, the soldiers entered the imperial palace, suffering to the fullest from the starving people of the capital. This was in the imperial palace, which had collapsed and now only the ruins remained.

It took about 10 days to eliminate Ambrosia and enter the capital. There are about 40 to 50 days left for the Carter family and Albrecht family to arrive.

To be honest, it was ridiculously fast. The speed is so incredible that you wonder if such speed is possible. But Leona did it. That ridiculous quick attack.

But the game started now. Will it be possible to restore the imperial palace and enthrone the emperor within 50 days?

Accordingly, Leona ‘served’ the imperial elders necessary for the emperor’s throne, even by using somewhat coercive methods, and at the same time began to restore the imperial palace using the engineering corps, which was the pride of the Krusenstein army.

“Your Majesty, is it okay for you not to restore the castle walls? It’s possible that an external enemy might attack.”

The external enemies I was talking about were Carter and Albrecht. Then Leona burst out laughing.

“Franz. I believe in Carter and Albrecht.”

“Yes?”

“I believe in their selfishness. If Carter attacks me, Carter will be accused of destroying by surprise the forces that were trying to protect and uphold the royal family, and he will become a public figure, and Albrecht will gain power. If Albrecht defeats me, Carter will likewise prevail. So there is no way these people can do good things for others.”

“Ah… ”

“It is okay to not restore the castle walls. Their selfishness is my wall.”

It was definitely true. But isn’t that the same as walking on a tightrope, saying, ‘It’s okay because I won’t fall?’ To be honest, it was something I wouldn’t have done. If you don’t trust the other person, you can’t do it.

Externally, Adelheit, who was well versed in imperial etiquette, worked, and internally, Leona, who was skilled in handling engineers, worked. Adelheit attended the elders of the imperial family, and Leona led the soldiers and personally restored the imperial palace.

The reason Adelheidt’s political power was 99 was because he was well versed in etiquette, adept at diplomacy, and had a deep understanding of traditional values. The reason Leona’s political power was 98 was because her internal political power and engineering skills were at the max level.

A diplomatic genius and a domestic affairs genius. When these two people joined forces, something that would have taken half a year began to progress at an incredible speed. But 50 days is not a long time. Will you be able to accomplish all of this in 50 days? It was a question of whether Krusenstein could succeed or not.

And 50 days later…

Surprisingly, the restoration of the imperial palace and the crowning of the princess as emperor were completed.

Leona’s engineering corps was the strongest in the world based on the setting, but when I saw it in person, it was even better in reality. He quickly rebuilt the imperial palace as if he were a professional construction contractor, not a soldier.

The reconstruction of the imperial palace, which seemed impossible, was completed in just 27 days. Accordingly, the emperor’s coronation was completed in 11 days, adding the 10 days it took to kill Ambrosia, and the whole thing was completed in 48 days.

And Henry Neville and Albrecht heard this news…

“What, what? Her Majesty’s reign is already over? Only 48 days have passed yet?”

“That… Rumor has it that Leona’s engineering corps is huge.”

“Is such a thing possible? What kind of person is Leona that is capable of such skills?”

I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

“Anyway, this letter.”

“Yes.”

Henry Neville tore up the letter mercilessly. Henry Neville handed the fragment of the letter, which had become illegible, to his subordinate.

“Your Excellency, what is this…? ”

“Burn it.”

“Yes?”

“Burn it. We have never seen a letter like this.”

At first, his subordinates could not know Henry Neville’s intentions, but they did not know until the next day.

Henry Neville invaded small countries on the front lines under the pretext of going to help the princess ascend to the throne, as if he had never even heard of the emperor’s ascension.

Of course, this was a sin. However, Henry Neville thought that he had to commit more sins to atone for the master he had killed.

Even if that sin would take him to hell.

—–

Johannes von Albrecht also received the same letter.

“Her Highness the Princess!!!!!!”

Johannes suddenly got off his horse and hit the ground. Everyone was taken aback when they saw Johannes.

“Master, please be a little more considerate. The soldiers see it.”

“You mean that’s the problem! Her Royal Highness has fallen into Krusenstein’s magic hands! You bastard Kruzenstein! I can’t forgive!”

“But what can we do? Do you play Kruzenstein like this? If that happens, only the Carter family will do good things. Realistically, Her Royal Highness… No, the Emperor is now his Majesty. It is Krusenstein who has His Majesty the Emperor, and if we attack them, we will become traitors. They are government troops! We are traitors! If that happens, it will only be good for the Carter family.”

“Fuck it, damn it!!!”

Albrecht, who had been hitting the ground for a while, soon wiped his tears and asked.

“So… Sniff. What should I do?”

Krauss, Johannes’s advisor, smiled in remorse. The lord was an idiot who had no answers, but he was quick to grasp the situation. Soon the inspector spoke.

“We have never received a letter like this. They conquer a small country under the pretext of going to help Her Highness ascend to the throne. Even if it later turns out that the emperor’s reign has ended, we will not lose anything. You have taken control of the territory, right?”

“… Right. Territory is needed to one day save His Majesty from Krusenstein’s demons. Isn’t that right?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“All! Move your army quickly! Follow me!”

Johannes von Albrecht regained his energy and soon began to conquer small countries. Carter and Albrecht. Although both families failed to contribute to the throne of the emperor, they each gained a lot of territory and made great profits. Under the pretext of upholding the emperor.

—–

Albrecht and Carter acquired a huge amount of territory for free and without any significant damage.

However, it was none other than Kruzenstein who benefited the most. First, the emperor was obtained. Moreover, he succeeded in monopolizing Emperor Yonglip’s major.

In addition, he took control of a large amount of the territory of old Ambrosia. Ambrosia’s territory is the richest place in the world. As it is the center of commerce, it is a place where enormous wealth moves, and the empire’s most advanced weapons engineers also reside in Ambrosia’s territory.

What this meant was that all cutting-edge weapons produced in the future would belong to the friendly forces.

Carter and Albrecht met the army once they reached the border with Kruzenstein’s territory. I thought that there would be no benefit in provoking Kruzenstein now.

‘I never thought things would turn out like this… ‘

Defeat Ambrosia. Rebuild the imperial palace. Establish the emperor. These three quests were all difficult.

However, defeating Ambrosia was completed quickly through my actions, rebuilding the imperial palace was through Leona’s actions, and establishing the emperor was through Adelheidt’s actions.

I felt it again. Our team’s talent composition is truly a dream team. If the current situation continues until the end, world unification will not be difficult.

However, maintaining this dream team as is was going to be quite a difficult road. This is because each of them had different personalities.
