Chapter 303
Hwangseong Meeting.
It is an event that occurs before the all-out war with the Church even in the game.
Of course, it was not fun, so the producers made it possible to skip it.

Most users skipped it of course, but I didn’t.
Isn’t it bad to see the story of what you’re doing?
‘Hmm. Everyone came quickly.’
When I look around for a while.
“You can sit here. two minutes.”

Mikasa, the commander of the Imperial Knights Guard, showed us an empty seat.
The moment we sit down.
“Then, is everyone gathered now?”
The Emperor of Rayston asks with a solemn voice.
At those words, Mikasa, who was guiding us, shook her head.
“yes. Everyone has gathered.”
“okay. Then we start the meeting.”
***
The first meeting of the meeting was about what the denomination had been doing.
It is a rule of thumb not to enter the main topic of an important meeting from the beginning, but it is an undeniable fact that it is boring nonetheless.
‘I’m terribly sleepy.’
With nothing to do, I yawned and rolled my eyes.
‘Ugh. Barrel-nim and Shane-nim also came.’
Actually, Shane is supposed to know that he’s involved in social affairs, but I never thought Barrell would be here.
In fact, did not you see that the Wintont family was a member of the Imperial Council and Nabal?
‘That family is trying to learn at least one more magic at that time.’

Maybe I’m the only one who thinks it’s a surprise, and the other lords are also staring at him.
Then then.
“your majesty. May I ask you one thing?”
A lord, presumed to be about the same age as me, raises his hand and asks a question.
If it was an audience, I wouldn’t have anything to say to insult him right away, but was it because it was a meeting? No one questioned him for anything.
The emperor shook his head as if to say something.
OK.
“Excuse me, but who is that?”
The guy who points to the barrel and asks for his identity.
After that, the emperor looked at the barrel.
“Barrel. i thought i would didn’t you say that Please do not just read books, but attend meetings.”
“Ahahahaha. That’s it. But hey, the kids of this generation might not know me.”
“Haha… that’s not normal.”
The Emperor took a deep breath and stroked his chin.
Soon, he opened his mouth.
“Barrel. Introduce yourself, you know. Some people may not know.”
“Let’s do that. okay. This is Winnt von Barrel, who was granted the status of Duke by His Majesty. Is this enough?”
“Ah yes!”
The man who asked if he had never thought that he might have been a duke is surprised.
At the same time.
– Woongseongwoongseong.
Likewise, young nobles murmur with surprise.
‘How the hell would you have such a reaction if you were stuck in the house?’
Very few people in our generation know Barrel’s face, so it’s only natural.
“Mr Barrel. It’s called Wiston von Neil. Excuse me, but may I ask you a question?”
At that moment, a man who looks like trash to anyone who looks at him raises his hand and asks.
Barrel shook his head at that question.
“okay. What do you want to know?”
“yes. Not surprisingly, the Wintonts are notorious for not attending meetings or social gatherings. By the way, is there any reason why you are here now?”
He speaks softly in the world, but his intentions seem impure.
All the other guys are looking at Barrel to see if I’m the only one feeling that way.
Barrel raises one corner of her mouth.
As if he was petty.
“Hmm. Well, there are many reasons, but if I have to mention one, it is the dangers of the denomination.”
“····yes?”
“Apart from Kane, have you had any direct confrontation with the denomination?”
Hearing those words, I see someone who is cautiously trying to raise their hand.
However.
“I’m not talking about the little guys. At least I’m asking if you’ve ever met an executive.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
At those words, there is silence in the conference room.
Barrel puts on a cold expression.
as if he knew it would.
“okay. I don’t know. Until now, you must have thought that Kane had solved it and made the sect well. However, these guys have invaded our estate this time and have learned something. They can wage an all-out war with the continent if they want.”
“I don’t know what to say…….”
“The supreme demon.”
A barrel that cuts off the horse’s waist.
Soon, he asks Mikasa a question.
“Mikasa. If you and the top devil fight, what’s the win rate? Thank you for being honest.”
“Hmm. It depends on the situation, but if you estimate it roughly, it is 50%.”
At that, the companions made expressions of understanding.
The highest level demon is the one from the fairy tale book that Anje defeated.
next moment.
“There are not one or two top-level demons in the denomination that are equal to the knight leader.”
“?!”
The nobles were astonished at the words.
Barrel continues to explain, regardless of the reactions of those guys.
“Three top demons appeared during the war. Of course, you defeated one of them, but that’s probably not all. It is unpredictable how many such people exist. But it’s not just the guys, the problem is that there are guys who deal with them. After that, I will make you think you know even if you don’t say anything.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
At that moment, a cold air blew in the conference room for a moment.
Everyone must have thought of Andrew.
[Andrew-sama, who sees fate, says he is definitely dangerous.]
[The goddess of happiness asks you to write down at least two names properly and say those words.]
[The goddess who sees fate is said to be a mistake!]
It was too natural to say it was a mistake.
If Happiness had not spoken, I would have never known.
The moment when I see the messages of the two goddesses and am stunned.
“Anyway, because of this, our family couldn’t stand still. Is this reason enough?”
Barrel asks, looking coldly at Neil.
The boy shook his head with a sullen face.
“Ah yes.”
“okay. So, does anyone have any more questions than this?”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
The nobles kept their mouths shut at those words.
Barrel scans them and says.
“okay. Then let me know that there is no such thing and sit down.”
“Good work. Barrel. Then, we don’t need to talk about the dangers of the church anymore, and let’s talk about dealing with it. As everyone who knows, knows, the land of Granard has been occupied by the Church.”
““···········””
“Some of you here think it doesn’t matter because it’s not their business.”
You can see some of them sweating profusely at those words.
Ignoring the reactions of those guys, the emperor continued his speech.
“However. Keep in mind that it could be you. It took less than a day for a territory to be occupied.”
-gulp!
The nobles swallowed dry saliva as if they understood the situation now.
So we had a meeting about how to deal with it in the future.
The nobles, realizing how serious the situation was, began to talk seriously, unlike the first time.
About two hours have passed since then.
Now it’s almost time for the meeting to come to an end.
‘now. I’ll have to tell you this too.’
With that in mind, I opened my mouth.
“your majesty. I have something I want to say for a moment, but I can tell you.”
“Yeah, uh, ummm… yes. Let’s talk.”
“yes. thank you So, before I speak, let me introduce my attendant for a moment. Cage.”
In response to my call, she comes forward with a serious face, unlike usual.
Soon, some nobles looked at her with eyes full of desire.
‘Are you going to pluck out everyone’s eyes?’
let me think like that
– Swish!
The guys avoid my gaze because I showed too much with my expression.
next moment.
“My name is Keiji, who was the daughter of the chieftain of the Suin tribe.”
Cage with her tail and ears exposed while introducing herself.
Then, the nobles were surprised to see her like that.
“Speaking of the beast people… that they were destroyed a few years ago?”
“no way. I’m sure there are still survivors.”
As they muttered in surprise, Cage opened his mouth.
“Once our clan was annihilated by none other than the denomination.”
““?!””
It is not unreasonable for them to be surprised because it is known that the reason for the extinction of the beast people was because of internal division.
It’s me. I found out because of the game.
As I was thinking about it, she continued.
“So I survived thanks to my family. taken from the owner. There, he waited for revenge, and eventually came face to face with his parents’ enemies. He was none other than a church official.”
““···········””
“But, he said that. own dad. no. To be precise, the nobleman on the Leiston Continent abandoned his son in the slums without any responsibility. And he said that executives were the ones who gathered.”
As soon as Cage’s story ends, the eyes of some nobles begin to tremble.
I ignored the reactions of those guys and continued on with Cage’s words.
“I will not deny this law of polygamy. In a way, so many people are killed by monsters, so it’s one of the ways humans can survive.”
Of course, I also want to be in charge of the women’s group.
“But, at least, I hope you don’t use it to evade responsibility. It is no exaggeration to say that the church was born out of that.”
“Does that mean that this happened because of us?”
At my words, Neil narrows her eyes and asks.
I answered without hesitation.
“yes. You are saying that the denomination is the result of people who do not take responsibility like you. did you understand?”
“Aren’t you also interacting with several women?”
A guy who cowardly hits with facts.
I shrugged and replied.
“Well, I’m not denying that part. However, I will say this for sure. I will never evade responsibility. It’s respect for them.”
The moment you leave it that way, you might be able to find yourself in the back office.
Whether you know my thoughts or not.
[The goddess who sees fate says it is a pity that she cannot descend.]
[The goddess who calls happiness says it is surprising.]
Two goddesses send a message.
no. What’s surprising, how did you look at me?
I was taken aback and continued.
“Anyway, I’m saying this because I think it’s not bad to change the laws of the continent once.”
“Hmmmm, sure. It wouldn’t be bad to hear the story. Okay, let’s try to change that part. So, is there anyone you want to say more than this?”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
Everyone shut their mouths at the emperor’s question.
Soon, the emperor announces the end.
“Then consider that the meeting is over, and from now on, let’s all go back to each territory and prepare for war.”
After saying those words, all the housekeepers started moving in haste.
‘Then I’ll listen to the wiretapping once in a while.’
***
same time.
All the executives gathered at Andrew’s call.
Of course, there were only four executives at the most.
“Hmm. Have you all gathered?”
“yes. That’s right. Andrew.”
Robert, a senior executive, answers as the representative.
Andrew looked at them and opened his mouth.
“okay. The number of officers has decreased considerably.”
“·················ogue.”
“However. No need to worry. This time, I plan to summon all the top demons in the Demon Realm.”
“Andrew-sama…are you overdoing it…”
Robert asked in a worried tone with his head bowed.
Summoning a demon in the Demon Realm is quite a power consuming task.
So, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to worry about Robert.
Andrew smirked at his words.
“You don’t have to worry. On the contrary, I am getting used to it more and more recently.”
“·················ogue.”
“Anyway, so that you all prepare well now. The moment when the summoning of the top demons ends.”
The royal road and an all-out war will begin.
Andrew raised one corner of his mouth as he added the latter.
Not knowing that Kane was listening to him now.
