To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 321

Episode 321 Preparing for War (2)

“If so… what should we do now?”

When the Marquis of Meches asked, Ray answered nonsense and brought it out.

“First, give up all your interests.”

At that, not only the Marquis of Meches, but also the king who was listening to the story jumped up.

Abandon the right! What the hell does that mean!

If you let go of the interest, it is natural that you will run out of funds.

Then, who manages the territory and who raises the cows?

The king and the marquis looked back at each other.

They exchanged opinions through glances.

It is clear that the saint is mad.

For some reason, I thought he was a crazy person from the outfit.

What would you expect from a guy who penetrated in a straight line to Daejeon, where the king lives?

After taking a sip of tea and controlling her mind, King Celia opened her mouth.

“If I let go of the interest, Celia won’t be able to continue developing like it is now. Not only that, but you never know how your relationship with other kingdoms will change. It’s Celia’s funds that can make them friendly.”

Celia Kingdom is the center of trade.

All kingdoms were active in trade enough to say that they went through Celia at least once.

King Celia was talking about the problems coming from there.

Since it is the center of trade, other kingdoms need to look good in Celia.

As Hana Ray said, the story changes when the interest is released.

Other kingdoms would not be able to use the existing ascending route via Silia.

If that happens, pressure will come to Celia, and it could be a factor that causes the kingdom to falter.

Even though he probably didn’t know that, Ray just shook his head.

“They will disappear anyway. Losing a little bit earlier won’t make much of a difference. Rather, it will benefit Celia because she can prepare in advance.”

“…disappearing? What are you talking about?”

“It wasn’t anyone else who gave the benefit to Celia and other countries, but the forces behind it. How long do you think they will give you such a huge advantage? I don’t know when, but it’s sure to happen once in a while. Celia should take measures before that.”

In addition to that, I would like to add one more word.

“Moreover, it is meaningless even if I grow up eating what they give me. As long as the other side wants Celia’s destruction, Celia has to act accordingly.”

“Umm….”

King Celia openly expressed regret.

There are many benefits from trade and business.

When I tried to let go of what I was holding in my hand, I couldn’t dare.

Ray helped the king a little with his choice.

“If I don’t make a decision here, Celia will surely perish.”

There was confidence in that voice.

At the sound of the country being ruined, King Celia’s pupils shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Marquis Meches, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, spoke.

“Then… what should Celia do after losing the interest?”

“We prepare for war by buying weapons and food at random. Are there any gold coins piled up in the palace? Release it and distribute food to the people little by little regularly. A kingdom with strong public sentiment will not be shaken even in the face of war. If things go well, there will be more people supporting Your Majesty than now. That will lead to the strengthening of the royal power.”

Kingship is what all kings desire.

I heard that his power is getting stronger, but what kind of king would not like it?

King Celia contemplated as she clenched her fists, then nodded in agreement.

“…I see. Do as the saint wills.”

“Good idea. The Devon Kingdom is about to start a war within the next month. Prepare for it as much as possible.”

Celia’s King, Deogard, gave a serious order.

“Marquis of Meches, summon the nobles right now. Archduke Silos must also be piped in.”

“All right.”

The Marquis of Meches received the King’s order and left Daejeon.

Things worked out little by little.

If Ray did this, he could put his mind at ease about Celia.

I don’t know how the meeting of nobles will end.

* * *

The king of Devon is famous for his tyrannical temper.

One day, he even killed a subordinate because he didn’t like his impression.

What they do is not much different from bandits.

Even so, it was thanks to his unique ability that he could maintain the throne.

He has an excellent eye for seeing the situation, grasps the situation well, and moves the kingdom accordingly to benefit greatly.

Also, how is the work done?

Since the work is handled with unstoppable pulpit, the aristocrats have little to do.

As much as they could not intervene in the decisions of the kingdom, the power of the nobles weakened and the power of the king became stronger.

In addition to that, the King of Devon was also a genius in swordsmanship to the extent that he was among the top Aura users.

Considering that he was still in his mid-40s, he was truly a great talent.

Even now, it is the Devonian king who came up with the idea of summoning troops, gathering strength, and going to war.

However, even such a perfect man had one weakness: his daughters.

His educational policy is to raise his sons to be strong and his daughters to be beautiful.

Unlike his sons, who would slap them without hesitation when they made a mistake, the daughters were raised with the utmost care whether they were gold or jade.

Thanks to that, my daughters who grew up like plants in a greenhouse were no joke.

While preparing for war and setting up a strategy, the gates of Daejeon opened and a beautiful woman entered.

The light brown hair and bright red eyes are strangely matched and fall apart, arousing admiration.

The nape of the neck and the shoulder line, where the back of the neck was exposed, showed neatness and even bewitchingness at the same time.

The Devon King’s mouth fell open.

“Sileia, what is it? Did your father come to see you?”

Silea’s charming lips parted.

“I came because I was worried about a war.”

No matter how worried you are, it doesn’t make sense to break through the gates of Daejeon in the presence of many aristocrats.

Some nobles did not dare to express their displeasure and only clicked their tongues inwardly.

‘A kid with no quirks.’

‘If it weren’t for the king’s daughter, I wouldn’t have let her go.’

Without knowing the hearts of such nobles, the Devon King is just nice.

“ha ha ha. Don’t worry. Compared to us, the kingdom of Celia is only a small country. The war must be won.”

“I am relieved to hear that. Ho ho ho. It’s just a child’s play in front of Your Majesty, even if the janitors try to gather their strength.”

“Yes ha ha ha ha!”

On the topic of serious planning until just now, he speaks with confidence because he is in front of his daughter.

No matter how much the Kingdom of Celia was pushed back in terms of troops compared to the Kingdom of Devon, it was not an easy opponent to dismiss as a small country.

And what about Deogard, the king of Celia?

He is an unprecedented master of swordsmanship who rose to the position of master at the age of fifty.

The Kingdom of Silia, which was acknowledged by the Empire and the Holy Kingdom to some extent, was transformed into a group of ruffians in an instant.

Silea said cautiously.

“…if it’s such an easy war… would it be okay if I take a look at it along with my brother?”

Although she was a beginner, she was an Aura user.

It is a skill that can be used as power right away.

But skills are skills and circumstances are circumstances.

Of course, there was no way to give permission.

The Devon King shook his head resolutely.

“It is impossible. War is not as light as you think, Silea.”

“I’ll just watch from a distance as much as possible.”

“War is not knowing what will happen. What are you going to do if you do something wrong? Besides, in the middle of a war, it is impossible to divert troops to your escort.”

After entering the Aura User, her confidence rose to heaven.

The words that came out were very spectacle.

“I can protect my body.”

As the nobles shook their heads, the king sighed and said,

“Get out and see. Let’s talk again later.”

Her wish did not come true.

* * *

Ray was also present at the convention held a week later.

King Celia relayed the story of the ‘forces in the dark’ that Ray had spoken about to the nobles.

At first, they listened suspiciously, but gradually began to trust things about the forces behind them on the following grounds.

Prince Silos muttered as he stroked his beard.

“If that’s really the case… you’ve become a nuisance.”

“War. Hmm… The Devon Kingdom is overdoing it.”

I still don’t know if it’s a bunch or not.

In terms of combat power, the soldiers of the Devon Kingdom are quite strong.

King Theogarde ventilated the dark air.

“The third force is also a problem, but as everyone knows, the reason we gathered today is because of the upcoming declaration of war by the Devon Kingdom.”

Not one or two territories suffered losses because of the Devon Kingdom.

When the story came out, the nobles burst into indignation.

“You go to war to satisfy your own interests. Indeed, they say that Devon is a kingdom of barbarians, and that is exactly what they said.”

“your majesty! Never stand still! We must set an example for the wicked!”

Deogard calmed them down.

“You know Jim. I have no intention of just skipping over it. But… we must do something before going to war. I need help from the people here.”

“Your Majesty, I will help with anything you command.”

“Let each upper body rest for a while. Stop raising funds and stop holding stakes in your hands. That is what we must do before going to war.”

The expressions of the aristocrats, who were ready to take out their hearts right away and offer them up, became profound.

Stop the top.

Doesn’t that mean the same as stopping the development of the territory?

Hearing Ray’s words, Viscount Gade, who had arrived earlier, expressed his doubts.

“I’m sorry… Is there any benefit to Celia from doing that…”

Rey replaced him with an answer.

He leaned back against the backrest and leaned forward.

“In return for giving up our interests, we will be the first in the East Continent to escape from the dark forces.”

out of control?

Prince Silos was interested.

“How do you mean?”

“This force, which was behind the Jace Merchant, mainly uses the Merchant and Merchant to infiltrate the kingdom. Conversely, it is difficult to infiltrate kingdoms with little activity at the top. We are aiming for that.”

That’s a pretty believable statement.

But it’s not without its problems.

The Marquis of Meches, who had been listening to Ray, quickly stabbed him at his blind spot.

“There will be problems with the kingdom’s funds.”

It is only natural that there will be a hole in the funding line since the business has largely stopped its activities.

The eyes of the king and the nobles were focused on Ray.

He caught everyone’s attention, and he smiled wickedly.

“The war will solve that.”
