Chapter 200. Secrets of the Beamont Imperial Family (2)
Under the uninhabited island where the Beamont family was hiding, there was a passage leading to the underworld.
Strictly speaking, it was not a passage leading to the Demon Realm, which means a complete underground, but a passage leading to the ‘middle layer’, where beings like Ameris lived after the world was divided in half.
The passage was neither made by the imperial family nor by the current owner of the island, the Rutero Federation. It was a road made by the Qingming people in ancient times, when the ‘Sun War’ was in full swing. The channels created by each power that held power at that time still remain in various parts of the world today.
Among the forces on earth, only the imperial family knows that fact. Ameris had forgotten the existence of the passages due to a memory error caused by the sealing.
“Fortunately, the situation we feared did not happen after I felt the great snake awaken. If the memory and authority of the big snake were intact, none of the races sealed in the middle layer would have survived.”
As B-Bol left, Ay-Ran smiled and said,
Ayran was convinced of Ameris’ condition based on the fact that the enemy was recklessly running amok. It means that neither the power nor the authority nor the memories are perfect.
It was the same with the enemies.
It is true that Jin’s military power is closest to the peak of human life, but if it was Rakiman and the Red Fleet in their heyday, there is no way the fight would have gone so far one-sided. At least, it was a combination that could be tried with resistance down to resistance.
“That’s right, Your Majesty. It is a great fortune for us that we were put on the defensive as soon as the enemy awakened. Even those arrogant and tyrannical bastards will not be able to resist our outstretched hand.”
“As long as you learn the technology well through trading with the enemy, cloning him will no longer be a dream. Besides, from now on, if we find the buried Qingmyeong people, we will be able to wake up Eltiott… and the empire will rise again! It will stand tall and become an eternal empire that no one can destroy!”
The royal family did not hide their excited voices.
Since ancient times, they have endured an eternity of humiliation to seize their chance at survival. During that long period of time, they have never reigned as an overwhelming force.
In ancient times, they were treated as worms by strong people such as the Jeokmyeongjok and the Qingmyeongjok, and even while the birth and destruction of civilizations continued several times after the ‘Great Seal’, they always barely endured the crisis of extinction.
Eventually, Bement was founded, but as the history of modern mankind proves, Bement has never attained an absolute status worthy of the name of an empire.
It was because monsters called Runcandel and Zipple existed. As soon as Zifle appeared, it threatened the existence of the empire, and when it could not stand it anymore, Runcandel appeared.
for another thousand years from that time.
The Empire has been walking a tightrope, keeping an eye on both families, and now only the old members of the Imperial family are barely hiding.
That’s why the royal family of Beament wanted only one thing.
complete and safe survival.
The power to rule the world alone was the most important means to realize it. The imperial family had no interest in things like the resurrection of the sun god.
Rather, it was a position that must be stopped. If the sun god is resurrected, they will have to live a life like insects again according to their destiny.
“As soon as B-Bol returns, we will start looking for the buried Qingming people. Check each local aisle. Enemies, especially Runcandel, can use the abilities of Ameris and the Record Wizard, so sooner or later you will know the existence of the Qingming Tribe buryers. You must secure them before they do.”
“I see, Your Majesty!”
“If our deal with the enemy is concluded, the situation on the ground will change very quickly. The enemies will rampage like crazy… We will be the ones who don’t lose focus until the end in that hasty change. We will be the only ones who survive until the end, as always.”
As the royal family dispersed, Airan remained in the meeting room alone and watched out the window. A cool wind was blowing.

October 8, 1803.
Exactly a week has passed since Jin drove out the enemy tribes who attacked the 3rd branch of Kingelo. Since that day, no enemy tribes have ever appeared in Inse. At least, as far as the Bamal Alliance and Ziple Kingelo knew.
In fact, the enemies did not hunt on the ground, but Rakiman and Simat had already met Airan and concluded a deal.
And the Red Ming tribe and the imperial family have already given each other a lot of benefits. The Red Myeongjok took the blood of the humans sent by Airan and the former burial people and opened the second fortress in an instant, and the imperial family received their technology and was developing weapons.
Everything happened to avoid the surveillance of the giant powers. It is the privilege of those who preoccupy the use of the middle layer.
“As soon as Beradin came to the household, he seems to be going pretty rough.”
Jin looked at the newsletters and said.
Scoops were pouring in every day. Kelliac’s rebellion in the background of Beradin’s rise to the family home Ameris and the enemy’s appearance in the underworld Jin woke them up.
The whole story was being made public.
“Reporters from Ziffle are steadily spreading the tone that Confucius is threatening the world by waking up beings from the underworld.”
Jin nodded at Casimir’s words.
“I feel like I’m trying to create a cause for war. It’s like I threatened the world first, so it’s self-defence for Ziple to attack Runkandel and Bamal’s alliance.”
“The reason why he is doing this even after seeing the strength of Confucius and his dedication and the strength of our union at the Battle of the Temple… is probably because there is a corner where he believes. It must be an authority related to the demon stone or the Holy Land of Jiple.”
obviously.
Jin wanted to delay the war as much as possible. The Golden Fleet is completed, the brothers are taken out of Lapla Rosa, and Murakan returns.
Also, if possible, he himself wanted to start a war after climbing the Changseong Fortress. A war waged with all those conditions in place would not be a war full of blood and madness, but would be overwhelming in the literal sense.
If only they could completely overwhelm their enemies, they could organize the world by excluding unnecessary death and destruction.
In other words, it is possible to fight while protecting the lives of ordinary people as much as possible.
It was impossible at the moment, and beyond that, I had to fight extremely unfavorably. Both above and below ground, the only force that cared about civilians was the Barmal Union.
“Beradin knows exactly what worries me the most. The death of fellow and innocent people. If the war starts quickly I will lose a lot. Even if you win.”
These are nightmares that I have already experienced directly at the Temple of the Chest.
Rather, there would be more sacrifices than that in a war between giant powers. The whole world would become a battlefield, and after the battle, what the victor would eventually face was a desolate landscape that would never be seen again in the world.
That made Jin’s heart suffocate.
A sense of debt that you must have because you are a regressor.
Jin recalled the message Ron had left for him through Dante right before he died in the past.
-There is nothing wrong with you. You told me that. This is what I said to you and me.
‘Yes… All of this may not be my fault, but that doesn’t mean I can turn away. No matter what happens in the future, I have no choice but to do my job and move on. I have to be the best in the world.’
Strive to be the best in the world.
That alone was pushing away Jin’s ordeal as a regressor. Like a person who has just lost his mind, Jin corrected his expression and made eye contact with his colleagues.
“Sooner or later the war will begin. Local battles, if not all-out war, will undoubtedly take place. Even if it’s not Beradin, there’s a very good chance that the enemy tribes will start to act more radically in the human world after recovering from damage. After defeating them, Valeria investigated the 3rd branch of Kingelo, and not only Ziffle, but also the remnants of the imperial family sent people there.”
“There was also an intelligence that Ziffle was always looking for the whereabouts of the remnants of the imperial family.”
Quikantel pointed to the report and said.
“It’s not just Zipple, we’ve been tracking them since the fake Jonah incident. With all possible means, including Valeria’s record magic. However, since they have never been caught by their tails, we cannot rule out the assumption that they may be hiding somewhere other than on the ground.”
“That is what I think, Mr. Quikantel. Those mystics must have an ability they’re hiding. If it has to do with the underground, this might be their chance now.”
“First of all, as far as I know, there is no such secret in the imperial family… Hmm. Seeing as Amir’s death, Ayran Bement suddenly took over power, the former emperor may have been a scarecrow in the first place.”
In addition to Ziple and the imperial family, Kingelo was also a problem.
[It is almost certain that the demon dragon of Zephyrin is one of the heads of this body. Perhaps in the future, when Zephyrin awakens, it will regain some of its memories and powers. Although it may not be perfect as it is the return of the self that disappeared. In any case, it’s definitely not the head trying to stop the resurrection of the sun god.]
“Please, I really hope to regain some of the power and authority of those days. Or hope that Zephyrin’s unconsciousness has nothing to do with Ameris-sama.”
[The latter would be perfect, but I think it’s better not to have high expectations.]
The moment Zephyrin said that.
The communicator installed in the conference room glowed blue and resonated.
{Sogaju! Urgent news.}
As soon as I received the communication, I heard Leedt’s voice.
“Tell me, butler.”
{Enemy tribe attacked Ziple.}
“…What? Zipple, not Kingelo?”
{Six hours ago, Ziffle’s Level 2 Magic Tower located in Ramatan was bombed by an enemy fleet. Ziple is currently in a state of war.}
The Runcandel and Barmal Alliance thought that if the enemy tribes resumed their ground activities, they would of course target Kingelo.
However, they boldly touched the zip, and it was a development that no one expected except the imperial family.
“The fact that they quickly resumed their activities this far… must have been helped by someone.”
Jin answered and narrowed his eyes. If it wasn’t for Ziple’s self-made act, the remnants of the imperial family were the prime suspects.
