Episode 602 I hope you caught a lot. (1)
Each kingdom that received contact sent numerous supplies, weapons, and magicians.
Nothing else was a problem, but the biggest problem was recruiting magicians with 5 circles or higher.
A series of difficult reports came to Jiselle.
“No one wants to give up the wizard.”
“… … .”
Although I was annoyed, I understood the other country’s position.
It’s hard to believe that we suddenly have to face a dragon when the war is over.
Besides, even though they were part of the same Allied Forces, the Turian Kingdom was still a foreign country. They couldn’t be happy about wasting their own forces to stop the monster waves there.
Even if it really does appear, I think the combined forces we have now will be able to stop it.
Jiselle stroked her hair with a tired expression.
“Even during the war, we were given a lot of conveniences… … but this is what it comes down to?”
Wizards of the 5th circle or higher are the main force. When joining the Allied Forces, each kingdom spared superhumans and wizards under the pretext of protecting their own territory.
In order to gather a thousand people, I would have to scrape away all the magicians I had cherished. Since that is unstable, I am trying to reduce the number somehow.
It’s not that I don’t understand, but there are limits to how much I can tolerate.
As the task of gathering wizards became difficult, Giselle threatened them all.
“If the target number of wizards is not met, I will abandon the Turian Kingdom.”
Everyone was slightly surprised by those words. If the dragon really appears, the destruction of the Turian Kingdom is a foregone conclusion.
No, with the current power, it would be difficult to properly block the monster wave, let alone the dragon. The kingdom’s finances and military power have been pushed to the brink of bankruptcy due to the ongoing war.
Marquis Gideon cried out in horror.
“What are you talking about! We’ve been fighting together until now, and now you’re giving up!”
It was like a bolt from the blue to him. He had joined the Allied Forces to protect the Turian Kingdom and had even gone on a long expedition. And now he was being abandoned like this.
It was not known whether a large-scale monster wave would actually occur or whether dragons would actually appear, but the Turian Kingdom could not ignore even a small possibility.
Jiselle answered with a calm expression.
“Isn’t everyone cooperating properly?”
A nobleman coughed in embarrassment and said:
“Ahem, that’s not it. I think we need to ask for cooperation from the Magic Tower… … . Because internal discussions are being delayed… … .”
In fact, they were not doing it on purpose. Those who came to the Kingdom of Sardinia had no choice but to pay more attention to the affairs of the Allied Forces for their own protection.
But since the nobles within the kingdom did not actively cooperate, they had no choice.
The other nobles also sighed and said.
“I’m also skeptical about the rumors of dragons appearing.”
“Even within the kingdom, discussions continue.”
“It seems like they are trying to keep us in check.”
Everyone nodded at the last remark.
As commanders of the Allied Forces, they led powerful armies.
Having won the war, they have risen to a threatening position within the kingdom. The nobles within the kingdom are now keeping them in check.
Jiselle nodded.
“Yes, yes. I know you are all working hard. But if we don’t gather properly during the preparation period, we will have no choice but to give up the Turian Kingdom.”
“Ahem, even if it’s a monster wave… … what are you going to do if a real dragon appears… … .”
“There’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to leave it alone, whether it perishes or not.”
“Ugh… … .”
Everyone’s complexion darkened. They couldn’t possibly feel at ease abandoning the Turian Kingdom they had fought alongside.
When the Salvation Church was destroyed and the war ended, everyone tried to quietly withdraw, trying to avoid suffering as much damage as possible.
Since we have already shared the rewards, it is better to focus on internal maintenance.
In fact, the story of a dragon appearing is so close to a prophecy that it’s hard to believe.
Although it was a long-standing tradition for international relations to proceed in this way, the commanders who participated here felt a little embarrassed.
Jiselle looked around at them and continued speaking.
“Instead, I don’t care if the Turian Kingdom falls and goes to another kingdom.”
“… … .”
“No, I will ‘personally’ lure them towards the most uncooperative kingdom.”
“Huh, huh?”
“What, what are you talking about… … .”
“Luring a dragon?”
All the Allied leaders were taken aback. No matter what, they were trying to lure the dragon.
Claude, who was standing next to Giselle, closed his eyes and nodded.
‘You’re losing your temper again. Anyway, I’m telling you that I’ll feel better if you do what I want.’
Claude clicked his tongue, but it was only natural for Giselle. She had already been through a lot, so she had no choice but to push through.
Jiselle looked at the bewildered nobles and spoke with a confident expression.
“Yes, I will continue to lure you.”
“… … .”
“Until when? Until a thousand magicians of the 5th circle or higher gather.”
“… … .”
“And the kingdom that was destroyed by the dragon will be divided again among the surviving allied forces. Isn’t that great? The rewards will be greater than now.”
Everyone swallowed dry saliva and looked at Giselle.
‘Oh, are you crazy? Oh, you were crazy.’
‘Isn’t this way of doing things too radical?’

‘Oh no! He really is a guy who can do something like that!’
I knew it was going to be extreme, but this time it was on a different level. I could really feel that he was determined to destroy everything if things didn’t go his way.
Giselle looked at Claude and said.
“Claude, contact the home country immediately and tell them to stand by with all troops. If they don’t gather the amount you want, continue to lure them to other kingdoms and finally hunt the dragon near the Kingdom of Rutania. We are also preparing to withdraw.”
“yes!”
Claude shouted pitifully and went out.
Jiselle spoke coldly to the nobles who had lost their minds.
“Let’s all just die together. But I won’t die. I’ll take this opportunity to eat the continent.”
Everyone came to their senses and shouted at Giselle’s declaration.
“Now, just a moment!”
“Understood. I will put pressure on the home country in any way possible! Even if it means starting a rebellion myself!”
“Just wait a moment! Don’t you know that we feel the same way!”
The nobles couldn’t help but be anxious. That guy wasn’t just a talker; he was a man of action.
During our time together, I have seen and felt how much action Duke Fenris has.
Giselle clicked her tongue as she looked at the bewildered nobles.
“So let’s hurry up and do this. Okay? You know I’m impatient.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“I think we were being too lazy.”
“That’s because they don’t know the seriousness of the situation in their home country. This time, we’ll give them a firm warning. Hehehe.”
Everyone laughed and sweated profusely. It was so deadly and dirty that I wanted to beat up the Allied Forces.
But the Duke of Fenris was always at the forefront of the fight. To be honest, it was the Duke of Fenris who saved them.
So, even if I didn’t like it, I had no choice but to follow it.
Because if we continued to be greedy and pick on things as the aristocrats had customarily done, it was obvious that we would all perish together.
Jiselle’s entourage held back laughter at the sight.
‘Oh, that feels so good.’
‘It was frustrating when we were being hit, but it’s really good when it’s like this.’
‘If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to force it.’
They knew very well how frustrating it was for the nobles to handle their affairs. That was why Giselle always proceeded by destroying everything.
Now that I’m used to it, I find Giselle’s way more convenient.
The Allied leaders were busy again in response to Giselle’s threats.
Because he had to clearly warn the nobles of his home country.
Jiselle moved to the office, leaned back in her chair and sighed.
“Wow, you guys don’t know how serious this is.”
It can’t be helped. He was the only one who had ever faced Arterion.
As always, there was no time to persuade and coordinate people. We had to prepare as quickly as possible.
As if Giselle’s threats had worked, each kingdom moved a little faster than before, even while cursing him.
Jisel was already known throughout the continent as a madman. Everyone knew that he, who had ignored the customs and practices of the nobles until now, would not behave well now.
Each kingdom began to exceptionally conscript even the magicians of the Magic Tower. The cries of the magicians being forcibly taken in could be heard throughout the continent.
A 5th circle wizard can live and be treated with grace anywhere. Wizards who were used to such treatment could not endure the current forced situation.
So soon a new problem arose.
Jiselle put her hand on her forehead as the reports kept coming in.
“They say the magicians belonging to the Magic Tower have run away.”
“I asked for freedom or death.”
“There are rumors going around that if you get dragged into this fight, you’ll die.”
When even the nobles they trusted gave in to Giselle’s threats, at some point, many wizards started running away. To that extent, wizards were afraid to participate in the fight against the dragon.
Because dragons were the pinnacle of magic.
“Wow… I didn’t know this kind of problem would arise.”
Jiselle laughed in vain after receiving the report. It was a completely different situation from her previous life.
In my previous life, no matter where I ran, destruction was imminent. So if I didn’t want to die, I had to join forces.
But now it’s different.
Jiselle dealt with the plague, dealt with the rift, brought down the Salvation Church, and ended the war on the continent.
That’s why so many magicians ran away with the thought, ‘It’s just me.’
Because having to fight within the kingdom and being forcibly dragged to another country were completely different stories.
As expected, they were wizards with strong selfish tendencies.
This time, even the Allied leaders showed reluctance.
“We are keeping a close eye on them, but there are already quite a few wizards who have escaped.”
“Ha, I didn’t see it that way, but it’s really lethal beyond measure.”
“They didn’t participate in this war either… … .”
Most of the magicians who were brought to the Allied Forces were from royal or territorial families. They had already joined the Allied Forces, so there was no need to worry about them. The problem was the magicians from the Magic Tower.
In order to fill the 1,000 magicians of the 5th circle or more, the magicians of the Magic Tower must come forward. Unless the Magic Tower itself intervened in the war like Rutania, they had no choice but to ask for cooperation.
It was impossible to fill the thousand-man guild since most of the main magicians of that tower had fled.
The nobles expressed their great displeasure at this situation.
“What on earth did they do during the war? They just sent a few disciples and stayed behind!”
“Honestly, isn’t it thanks to us that you survived? And yet you’re still acting elegant.”
“That’s right! I saved your life, and now you ungrateful bastards!”
Until now, power and freedom were strongly guaranteed to wizards, because the Magic Tower was an important power in the kingdom.
But in this situation, it was natural for Kuni’s selfish discontent to explode.
But even though they were dissatisfied, they couldn’t do anything about it. What if the magic tower leaves for another kingdom after suppressing it?
‘Then it’ll only be us who suffers… … . We’ll just get a lot of hate.’
‘Perhaps the magicians of the Magic Tower will never come to our kingdom again.’
‘If another kingdom quietly falls behind, we will all flock there.’
Wizards aren’t just needed in war. They’re essential to civilized life.
In fact, the city with the magic tower is incomparably developed compared to other cities. They also pay enormous taxes.
So, the lord of the place where the magic tower was located had no choice but to keep an eye on the magic tower.
Wizards could always be proud because they knew they were needed.
The nobles looked at Giselle. They did not want to take responsibility for this situation.
A nobleman asked Giselle proudly.
“What should I do?”
“… … .”
Jiselle closed her eyes and raised her head. Because of the complex web of interests and customs, no one dares to act boldly.
It’s not that I don’t understand. In fact, wasn’t that the case in the Kingdom of Rutania?
Then we have no choice but to make the decision.
thud!
Giselle placed her sword on the conference table. Looking around at the nobility who were feeling a little irritated, Giselle spoke calmly.
“We have to catch him.”
“yes?”
“You just have to catch every single one of them and bring them in. Is that difficult?”
“Uh… … Um… … Are you a wizard? Most of you belong to the Magic Tower, where freedom and rights are guaranteed?”
“What’s the big deal? No matter how important a national force is, if it can’t be used in a timely manner, is it really a force? Aren’t the rights of wizards derived from the duty to protect the kingdom?”
“That, that’s true.”
“Does it make sense to abandon those in danger after living a life of luxury and run away to live on your own?”
“… … .”
Jiselle spoke firmly with a cold expression.
“I heard that in some kingdom, when wizards fled, they said something like, ‘Freedom or death?’ That’s a good thing.”
“Ahem ahem… … .”
“Then I should kill you as you wish.”
“… … .”
“From now on, spread it to all the kingdoms.”
“Wh, what are you talking about?”
“Bring me the escaped wizards. Any who resist can be brought to me as corpses.”
“… … .”
“The Allied Forces will also immediately form a pursuit force and depart to capture the wizards of the neighboring kingdoms.”
The nobles were left speechless, sweating profusely at the threat of Giselle.
