Regressor of the Fallen Family - Chapter 259

Episode 259

“Your Majesty. What are you trying to do by gathering all the knights from all over the country to the royal palace? You can just issue a mobilization order when necessary, but why…?”

In fact, there were few people who could argue like this in front of Logan, who controlled the entire kingdom.

Logan chuckled as he looked at Dwayne, one of the few people there.

“That’s not the problem, it’s probably the money. You’ll also get caught using the magic gemstone for the wrong things.”

Dwayne looked annoyed for a moment, but then shook his head as if he had never done that before.

“As a subject, I am only asking a natural question. I do not understand why Your Majesty would pay a price to bring in knights who can be mobilized at any time with just a single command.”

“It is to completely change the constitution of the kingdom.”

“…yes?”

“We need to completely change the country, but that doesn’t mean we can kick out all the nobles.”

If we destroy everything, it will take a long time to establish discipline again.

Dwayne froze at that creepy answer and didn’t even hear what followed. I simply raised a question about money, but I received a very harsh answer.

“What the hell are you doing!?”

“I told you. I will change the constitution of the kingdom.”

“So what is that…”

“I will gather all the kingdom’s military forces into my hands. First, I must obtain the knights who will continue to merge and merge according to the will of the nobles.”

“If only those nobles move, everything will move! Your Majesty has now secured a lot of influence!”

“No. No. The order goes down twice. Me, the nobles, and the troops. I’m trying to eliminate the middle process.”

“What does that have to do with this case? And what difference does eliminating that process make?”

“As a result of eliminating that process, the country that was one of the many kingdoms in the central continent became the only empire on the continent.”

“…yes?!”

Dwayne’s expression soon hardened as he understood what he meant.

Logan added as if driving a wedge into that stern face.

“A country where the monarch’s will is fully reflected in national policy and no one can object. A country that can respond most efficiently to crises. Changing the constitution in that way is my primary goal now.”

“But the imperial way…”

“I’ve been thinking about it since I ascended the throne. No matter how much I think about it, since I became king, I think this way will be the fastest.”

In order to prevent an empire, we will borrow the imperial system.

I understand the meaning, but it was not something I could easily accept.

“Your Majesty…”

A slight twitch appeared on Dwayne’s face.

“So now, wouldn’t it be possible if Your Majesty just says so?”

“It’s a temporary phenomenon created by fear.”

“…I’m sorry, but even as time passes, I cannot imagine the nobles rebelling against Your Majesty. I think it’s too much to worry about.”

“No, it is better to firmly establish it as a system. Above all, it will be more effective to increase combat power if all the kingdom’s troops are grouped into as large a structure as possible and trained together.”

As large as possible.

Dwayne let out a sigh at those words.

Only then did I clearly understand Logan’s meaning.

“Imperial Legion…”

“Yes. History has already proven that this is the simplest way for a monarch to seize military power.”

“The empire almost collapsed several times due to the emergence of tyrants who abused the system.”

“Nevertheless, it eventually grew into the strongest nation. Now I want to focus only on efficiency rather than risk. Dwayne. Do you really think I can become a tyrant?”

It’s already being called that.

Dwayne swallowed the sound of truth rising in his throat.

‘Anyway, now the people are praising His Majesty.’

Since there was already a clear result, it could not be easily refuted.

But after talking about it this way, I suddenly became curious.

The thoughts of this young man, who had moved from being the troublemaker of the estate to the heir and now to the full-fledged lord in his own mind.

“…Your Majesty. Just in case.”

“hmm?”

“If there is no threat from the empire you mentioned… what will you do after it is overcome?”

“What should I do? I need to rest.”

“…yes?”

“I’m going to rest well. Until I get so tired that I don’t even want to rest anymore.”

The answer that came out as if it were obvious was extremely absurd, and what followed was even more incomprehensible.

“Because I’ve been looking at that for too long.”

“Oh…? Yes. That…?”

Dwenin was so embarrassed that he could not continue speaking.

* * *

“Huh…!”

How many times is this?

Galan, the knight of Daltan Territory, once again forgot his face and was so shocked that his mouth fell open.

But fortunately, no one was making fun of him.

Most of the fellow knights on a ‘tour’ watching the joint training of the Royal Knights and the McLane Esperanza Knights had expressions similar to his.

It was surprising to see more than 2,000 knights from three different knights moving in perfect order, but what was more shocking was the content of the training.

‘it’s crazy. ‘They’re crazy.’

After a few days of experience, I already knew that the training of the Royal Knights was not ordinary.

An endless run that involves running along the outer walls of the royal palace until exhaustion.

Although it replaces castle wall training, hanging on to rocks and occupying cliffs seems more dangerous than an actual battle.

The iron sword sparring is so violent that it is hard to tell whether this is actual combat or practice.

Still, up to this point, it could be considered a more intense version of the regular training of the knights.

But I couldn’t understand what I was seeing right now.

Why is someone running with a horse?

“What is that…?”

Isn’t it abuse, not training?

Before Galan could even finish his question, Instructor Heinkel, who guided him, quickly spoke with a small sigh.

“Yes. Our Macline, hmm. Hmm. The horseback riding training of Macline and the Royal Knights involves horses riding people. And the purpose is….” ”

What the point….”

Galan’s voice that came out unconsciously was bloody. I fell under the glaring gaze of the instructor.

– Your rebellious attitude is the problem. One day, you’ll be in big trouble because of that. If you want to live as I command, change your personality.

The words of the now-retired Knight Commander flashed through his mind, but Galan shook his head to dismiss the ominous voice.

‘They say he lost his force along with his arms, but his eyes still look like a top-class knight. Write.’

Heinkel, who had been glaring at Galan for a long time, only returned his gaze to the front when he could no longer bear it and lowered his head.

“…The purpose of this training is to develop physical strength, but the greater purpose is to develop a bond with the Rottweiler so that the horse can more easily accept the force. In that case, even ordinary knights will be able to use some of the riding skills that are only possible at an intermediate level. It has already been proven that this can have the effect of increasing the level of a knight as well.”

Heinkel’s words continued without a moment to breathe.

“That’s it. No questions will be accepted.”

Whoa.

Watching him exhale for a long time, it was clear that he had been asked countless questions about this ridiculous training.

But still, Galan wanted to ask.

“Who on earth came up with this crazy training?…”

“It’s me.”

“…I was wondering if you were a great person. That’s it. No questions.”

It was a great change of attitude that made me want to praise myself, but as if it was already too late, Heinkel’s sparkling eyes were once again glued to Galan and did not move away.

Pretending not to have seen those murderous gazes, Galan thought of hopeful words.

– 3 years. Think of it as being deployed for only three years. After that, I will treat you even more generously.

The words of his lord, Baron Trevor D’Artan.

‘okay. It’s just a bit of training. If you think you’re dead, you can just take it. When it comes to gang, it’s Mr. Galan.’

Daltan territory was ignored by everyone because it was in the countryside, but Galan liked that quiet neighborhood with nothing to do.

It wasn’t just because it was my hometown.

For Galan, being a knight in Daltan territory is a sweet job that requires only earning a monthly salary without doing much work.

Sometimes, when you feel tired or frustrated, all you have to do is take a vacation and have fun in a big city. He couldn’t understand why his other colleagues were so frustrated with Daltan Youngji.

However, there was something to look forward to here too.

‘Well, that iron blood sword was definitely amazing.’

Surprisingly bloody sword strikes wielded by fellow knights.

Galan was curious about whether Rommel, the intermediate knight and leader of Daltan’s knights, could defeat the average knight.

While I was thinking about random things, Heinkel suddenly turned his eyes away from Galan and said something surprising.

“Your current Majesty also underwent this training before becoming a superhuman. And he was impressed that it was extremely effective training.”

It was a moment when the training that was forcibly designed to shake off the fool turned into a vision of creating a superman, but Heinkel’s eyes, armed with self-glorified memories, were enough to turn that foolishness into truth.

The expressions in most of the knights’ eyes clearly changed, as if those words had an effect.

Looking at that scene, Heinkel smiled happily.

‘If you hear His Majesty’s command, you can never ignore it.’

Now, in the kingdom, many legends follow Logan, who has achieved unbelievable achievements.

However, what the knights paid most attention to was the incredible growth rate at which he became a superhuman in just 5 to 6 years.

A legend that is already considered true because there are so many witnesses.

Given the training that Logan had done, it was natural for a knight to react that way.

“Ah. Isn’t that a lie?”

Except for one goby.

Quick.

“No, you. Come out.”

It was the moment when Heinkel’s patience ran out.

* * *

“Egggugu. Waist and legs….”

It was a Galan who kept moaning, but there were no knights who looked at him with pity. Because he was a torturer who made remarks that did not go through the brain, but eventually made him lose his temper.

In the end, he brought it upon himself to be beaten to death by Sir Francisco Romero, the vice-captain of the Royal Knights.

Of course, even so, Galan’s snout did not rest.

“Are you going to shamefully attack the top knight yourself? Let’s send out the rank knight fairly.”

It was baseless nonsense.

Of course, no one thought that Galan would have won, but he truly thought so.

Illusions are freedom, but the problem is that this guy called Galan doesn’t stop talking even when no one is listening.

“When I was young…”

“In our territory, I…”

“If only she was in good condition, I could have easily dodged that sword…”

It was already approaching bedtime, but I could feel the gaze around me becoming more murderous by the minute. As if he couldn’t do anything, Galan’s snout rarely rested.

‘I’ll shut your mouth.’

‘I tied your hands.’

‘We are fans.’

Finally, the moment when colleagues around me grit their teeth and wiggle their hands.

“All attention!!”

A voice of salvation was heard, extending Galan’s lifeline.

Soon, Heinkel came in through the door that suddenly opened.

As soon as I saw Galan, I frowned slightly for a moment.

Heinkel, whose eyes soon became relaxed, pointed to the huge carriage brought by the knights behind him.

“Hmm. This is my first time with this group. Consider it an honor.”

glory?

Puzzling gazes focused on him.

“As you know, the field trip ends today. That’s why I brought equipment for you guys who will be training in earnest starting tomorrow.”

At those words, the eyes of the knights who were very tense relaxed.

Equipment?

Just?

Because of that, at this time?

Looking at all those eyes, they looked sinister. Heinkel, who smiled, calmly continued,

“Please come out one by one and choose the ‘artifact’ you want. It’s a 1-circle artifact, but it will be quite helpful.”

For a moment, there was silence in the barracks.

A light of disbelief flowed through the knights’ eyes.

But the moment Heinkel took out a gauntlet with a blue light flowing from inside the carriage.

“Wow!”

unusually. All the knights, including the screaming Gallan, had their eyes shining brightly as if they were about to rush towards the carriage at any moment. If it hadn’t been for Francisco, who was rolling his eyes behind Heinkel, several of them seemed to have taken action.

Seeing that , Heinkel thought back to what his lord had said.

– 3 years? It’s meaningless. The iron blood sword and the artifact. Would any knight turn down those two things and return?

His lord is the lord of the nobles they serve.

Knights belong to the royal family. There is also enough reason to stay.

‘But who would have thought that it would really be possible to mass-produce artifacts?’

The future of the kingdom seemed as bright as the shining eyes of the knights, and the smile on Heinkel’s face did not go away.
