The Regressed Mercenary’s Machinations Chapter 590

Episode 590: Because I Ate Everything I Wanted to Eat (2)

Jiselle said with a trembling expression.

“Well, that’s true… … . Okay, try it… … .”

Julian got off and Alphos approached the white horse.

Alfoy was so envious of that magnificent horse. A great wizard like himself should ride such a horse.

Purrururk!

As Alfoy approached, the white horse once again showed its fierce gaze. It was enough to feel anger and murderous intent, as if to say, “How dare someone like you come here?”

People also made expressions like, ‘Well, that’s right.’ There was no way that someone like Alfoy could tame such a famous horse.

Alfoy swallowed hard and stood in front of the white horse, opening his mouth.

“I am the man who defeated God!”

Purruk?

“So of course you can say he’s the best man in the world!”

Purruk?

“You’re the best horse, right? Then shouldn’t you burn me, the best man?”

Purruk?

“Because only I have defeated God!”

The white horse just opened its eyes blankly, and Alfoy continued to brag about how great he was.

People held their stomachs and laughed and snickered.

“Poohahaha!”

“Another ridiculous show-off!”

“No, do you understand what I’m saying?”

How much does that guy have to worry about to act like he’s so great?

I don’t know about anything else, but I really have to acknowledge that arrogance and confidence that doesn’t allow for self-objectification.

Regardless of what others said, Alpoy worked hard to appeal to the white horse.

Because he was truly the greatest man who had defeated God!

Purruk… … .

But the white horse’s reaction was strange.

The burning murderous intent disappeared without a trace. The white horse’s eyes seemed to twinkle.

The white horse could tell.

The man in front of me was truly a worthless man. I knew it even better because I had fought alongside the absolute powerhouse Aiden.

But that arrogant attitude and gaze.

He resembled his former master more than anyone else.

It means that I am a person who lives with the confidence that I am truly the best.

Purruk… … .

The white horse slowly approached Alfoy and rubbed its face against his chest. The stranger smelled of his former master.

It wasn’t a surrender to Alfoy. It was a gesture full of longing and joy.

Soon the white horse bent down on its own and carried Alfoy.

People stopped laughing and opened their mouths in bewilderment.

“Why, why that guy… … .”

“Is that crazy?”

“This doesn’t make sense!”

The horse failed to ride the superhuman, including the knights. Only Julian succeeded, but Alfoy succeeded!

Moreover, he did not subdue her like Julian did. The horse rubbed its head very friendly.

What about the eyes? They were dripping with honey and were even hazy.

Alphos raised his head with an arrogant expression from atop his white horse. Then the white horse raised its head in return.

He was extremely arrogant, both in words and in person.

Alpoy shouted arrogantly.

“See? This is what it means to know how great I am as a man who has defeated God! From now on, this is mine!”

Heeeeeeeeeing!

The white horse also cried out in response to Alpoy’s words.

Alpoy continued, stroking the white horse’s neck.

“Oh, so pretty. As expected, the best horse goes with the best man. From now on, your name is Koko.”

The Coco I had raised before escaped from its enclosure and was lost. It was probably eaten by someone.

Kane and Galvarik were suspected as the culprits.

Alpoy gave the white horse a name full of memories.

Heeeeeeeeeing!

The white horse may or may not have liked the name, but he responded to Alfoy’s words anyway.

People remained silent. Everyone just looked at Giselle.

“… … .”

Jiselle just folded her arms and blinked. Who in the world would have thought that Alpoy would tame that famous horse.

These are the words of Aiden, who was one of the strongest men on the continent.

‘Come to think of it… … That guy’s personality is most similar to Aiden’s.’

It’s really hard to believe that you’re great. I don’t know about anything else, but narcissism and crazy desire for honor are exactly the same.

So that’s why that arrogant white horse likes Alfoy so much.

Anyway, a promise is a promise. Since Alfoy was riding a white horse, he was qualified to do so.

“Oh, um… … There are two of them. What should we do? Should we have a showdown?”

Alpoy’s face turned pale at those words. If they were to fight, Yulien would lose his head if he lifted a finger.

So I said urgently.

“Why are we having a showdown? Let Koko choose!”

Alpoy was confident. For some reason, Koko seemed to like him very much right now.

Everyone looked at Julian.

Julianne shook her head and said.

“Okay, I’m not really interested in words.”

In any case, any horse he rides becomes a top-class horse. There was someone who wanted it, so I had no intention of stealing it away.

Thanks to Julian’s concession, the white horse really became Alfoy’s property.

Jiselle, who had been blinking, spoke to everyone.

“Uh… … Thanks to Julian’s concession, Koko… … became Alpoy’s property.”

“Yaaaah!”

Heeeeeeling!

Alpoy raised his hands and let out a shout of victory. Koko also let out a long cry of joy.

People all just stared at the sight, dumbfounded. They didn’t want to admit it, but they had no choice.

After the battle for the white horse(?) ended, Alfoy ran to Belinda and said.

“Just give me a new robe!”

The red robe Alpoy was wearing was completely worn out and quite shabby.

Belinda, the housekeeper, changed it several times, but it inevitably got old quickly because he was so focused on construction work.

“Okay, I’ll give you a new one when you return to the territory.”

“Make it white! So classy!”

“White? Won’t it get dirty quickly as you work? And the red-stained robes of the magic tower aren’t white.”

“It’s okay! I’ll only wear it when I’m in an important situation! I just wanted to match the colors of the dress!”

“okay…….”

Belinda nodded with a trembling expression. Alfoy was also a loyal subject of the Fenris estate. He could at least be given a luxurious white robe.

Alpoy, who had been promised a robe, climbed onto the Coco and shouted.

“I am now the white Alpo who has defeated God!”

Heeeeeeeeeing!

Alpoy and Koko shouted. The people just ignored them and started to retreat.

Those who failed to obtain the white horse would cry out in pain whenever they saw Alfoy.

Just like last time with Dragon Heart, that lucky wizard seemed to secretly take all the good things.

* * *

Upon returning to the Kingdom of Sardinia, Giselle began a meeting to discuss post-war settlement.

The first was the problem of dealing with the remnants of the rebels and Salvation Church that still remained in several small countries.

Anyway, the main priests and the army were destroyed in this war. The remnants that were not called to this war could be dealt with easily.

Rather, it is more important to pursue the missing Gator.

“Let’s organize an army and send reinforcements to various places.”

It was decided to reorganize the Allied Forces and form several new armies. These were to subdue the remnants. They were organized around the strong to finish the job quickly.

Since it was not a difficult war, no one opposed it. They wanted to quickly finish the subjugation of the remnants and return to their respective kingdoms.

Jiselle muttered as she read the report.

“Julian, Gillian, Tennant, Marquis Gideon, Marquis Alferen… … .”

The strong and nobles who have proven their commanding ability have been entrusted with command. Now, they will disperse to various places and subdue the remnants of the Salvation Church.

Jiselle kept poking her lips.

“No, I want to go too, so why is everyone stopping me?”

Claude shouted in annoyance.

“Oh, come on! If the lord leaves now, things won’t work out here! Anyway, there are only weaklings left, so why are you going?”

“Just relax? I haven’t fought in a few days so my body is starting to feel stiff again.”

“I’m going crazy. If you need pain, just do some push-ups here!”

Jisel is the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces. In a situation where post-war processing is urgent, he cannot be absent. Otherwise, everyone will just suck their thumbs and wait.

So when Jisel said she would go out in person, everyone grabbed her trouser legs and tried to stop her. Even the world-class Jisel had a hard time going out when everyone in the Allied Forces tried to stop her.

This time, it wasn’t something I did out of necessity, I literally just wanted to go to war.

Claude, who knew that very well, went wild.

“Right now, there’s a mountain of work to do! More than one kingdom has fallen! We need to send supplies everywhere! There are still cracks in some places! We need to set up a magic circle to stop the cracks from expanding! We need to do a reconstruction project! There’s just too much to do!”

“You can do it, right?”

Jiselle asked with a look of surprise. When did she ever handle such a thing? Claude took care of it all.

I think you just need to give yourself direction.

Claude grabbed his head and shouted.

“I! Alone! I can’t do it!”

You can do it on your own within the Kingdom of Rutania. Just push through.

But now it was the concern of the entire Allied Forces. The interests of numerous kingdoms and nobles were at stake.

All the famous people from each kingdom gathered. Even though Claude had Giselle’s authority behind him, it wasn’t easy.

“Listen. I could do it if I wanted to. I’m sure everyone would listen to me, even if it was because they were afraid of the lord. But I don’t think there would be any complaints.”

“There must be. Because human greed is endless. Like you.”

“That’s right! So the problem is what happens after that! Like me!”

Since they could not attack the Rutanian army, there was a high possibility that the disgruntled kingdoms would fight each other.

Then, conflicts broke out again here and there on the continent. I couldn’t let that happen, since Gatorus was still alive.

So, Jiselle had to stay behind and mediate and push the argument forward, preventing anyone from making a rash move even if they were dissatisfied.

Jiselle clicked her tongue and made a regretful expression. In fact, she herself knew that it was not the time to fight.

“Hey, it would have been nice if Amelia was here at times like this.”

Many kingdoms were destroyed. Countless territories and treasures were created without owners. In a way, it was like a huge amount of spoils.

Although the Rutanian army was the main force, there was cooperation and sacrifice from many kingdoms. Sharing this was now the most important task.

Amelia would have calculated the merits very coolly and divided them out.

‘No, maybe they secretly killed all the troublemakers one by one and ate the most?’

Giselle, who was laughing, asked about Amelia’s recent activities.

Then Claude looked through the report and said.

“I have already received a call. They asked me to send them the supplies as promised. They also said that they will start the relocation work soon.”

“I guess it was successful.”

“Yes. We have eliminated the rebels and the Salvation Church of the Kingdom of Norvagen and taken over the territory. We plan to hold a formal coronation ceremony soon.”

“What about the damage?”

“They say there were almost none. They even lured superhuman priests… … into traps and beat them to death. They say they also subjugated the remnants of neighboring countries while they were at it. Anyway, it’s really impressive. To finally take over a kingdom.”

“Yes, I have that level of ability. Send the supplies as promised and help the residents relocate. Thanks to Amelia, we’ve managed to deal with the remaining forces.”

Amelia left Rutania and took over the fallen kingdom as promised to Giselle.

Now she was planning to return all of her remaining lands in Rutania and move her subjects and possessions to those who wanted to follow her.

If Giselle provides the necessary supplies while Amelia stabilizes her new kingdom, their promise will finally be fulfilled.

The part about sending aid supplies to kingdoms in dire straits was quickly dealt with. The only remaining issue was how to divide the spoils.

Giselle consulted with Claude and drafted the draft.

“The Kingdom of Seiron will be taken by Rutania. Are you satisfied?”

It was a kingdom that Claude had taken over on the pretext of rebellion. No one complained about it.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

Even if the land of a kingdom was still intact, some of it was taken away if it was connected to Rutania.

“I’ve worked hard and received a lot of support, so I deserve this much.”

The kingdoms that were attached to Rutania were in chaos. They had fought together, but now they wanted to take their land!

Isn’t this guy completely crazy!

“Hey, you crazy… … No, isn’t that a bit too much?”

“How can you take the land of an ally? This is creative violence!”

“We cannot accept it!”

Rutania is strong. If they fight, they will lose. But they cannot help but protest when their good land is taken away.

The nobles of the kingdom fiercely opposed it, some of whom were prepared to even risk their lives.

Jiselle nodded several times as if she had expected a backlash.

“Instead, I will give you a larger land.”

“What do you mean?”

“Aren’t there kingdoms that have fallen near the kingdoms I have named? How about dividing them up even more as I have taken them?”

“Uh… … Oh… … Um… … .”

The nobles who were looking at the map gulped. The map that Jiselle had drawn in a hurry showed land much larger than the land that had been taken away.

Of course it’s better. It’s also very well divided.

A nobleman asked, clearing his throat.

“Ahem, that’s not a bad suggestion… … but why don’t we just divide the lands of the nearby fallen kingdoms without giving them a separate land for the Kingdom of Rutania and other distant kingdoms? I guess it’s not fair… … .”

Jiselle said that part was not a problem either.

“Take more from the neighboring kingdoms. And the kingdom that gave you the land can take it from another kingdom. You can divide it like that. Don’t you all hate taking territory that is far away?”

Everyone nodded.

You can take over distant territories, but after a few generations you will end up like strangers.

Because it is not under the authority of the king or the authority of the administration, it is no different from an independent kingdom. It only has a name, and even if it is taken away from another place, it will be difficult to find.

Giselle proposed to reorganize some of the territories of each kingdom in this way. No one objected greatly since the territory would be expanded.

The borders would be redrawn and the administrative process would be a bit more complicated, but it was something that had to be done regardless of which region’s land was absorbed.

“Okay, then let’s proceed like this. What we’ve decided on now is a rough guideline, so let’s adjust it in detail.”

It was a major reorganization, but not a detailed one. The kingdoms with territories attached to each other held meetings to try to get a little more land from each other.

“No, we fought a little more!”

“I told you we gave you more supplies?”

“We should take one more territory here! It’s closer to us!”

Jiselle just watched from behind, smiling, and played the role of mediator when the fight got heated.

‘Because I ate everything I had to eat.’

Jiselle had already declared a sharp boundary line.

Rutania, which had taken over all the lands of its neighbors, ended up occupying a huge territory. In the end, it ended up taking over the most territory among the Allied Powers.

It was originally a powerful and large country, but it has grown to almost twice its size.

But everyone benefited, and since Rutania was the strongest, no one was dissatisfied.

So, when the post-processing was almost finished.

Giselle had another dream.
