The Sended's

Chapter 71: Conquer We Must, As Conquer We Shall

.

After our victory against one of the Ming forces under one of their Great Generals, there has been no other significant hindrance. We conquered Guangdu, Fuzhou, and recently Chang'an, all of which fell easily because they did not even have walls like Jin

Then their guard was not as much as I thought, because I just knew that if they did not expect to be attacked back, they did not expect that their troops would lose.

When we had taken two cities, the new enemy was finished with their own military campaign deep in the East. One army conquered Joseon, and two armies made expeditions into the Qing territory which I heard failed

Their two armies are now retreating back to Chengdu, the capital of the Ming Kingdom. While Ruby's army will rest here in Fuzhou city, we also built a series of defenses near the river just in case

Then there's bad news, really bad....

So when Fuzhou was conquered, Percival approached me who was talking to Kyouka and Maou, asking for permission to resign...

"Eh?! Wh why? You have sworn allegiance to the Queen, to protect her to the grave" I said

"You are right and I still hold fast to that oath, but after a duel with L. Fengxian, I realize that if it were not for the armor of the Diablo lord, I would have lost and died. So let me look for as many experiences as possible in this continent! I beg you," he said on his knees

Ughhhh! It was a difficult choice, but Kyouka immediately agreed to it without thinking

"Knight Percival, because you have sworn for me, I am the one who can take that oath. With this you are no longer a knight, but only an adventurer. You can become a knight again if you can get great achievements like other knights, like you used to be,"

Hearing that Percival was very happy and promised Kyouka something

"Thank you, Queen! I promise, I'll be back,"

Even if he says that, there will be a time when he is not in the army....

In addition to making the morale of the troops decrease, if there is another duel later then I need someone to replace him. It is impossible for me to advance just like that, because I am someone who can be said to be a General because there is no military position in the kingdom other than Ruby

A General has to duel with other Generals, and if I do that then isn't that not exciting? I want both this kingdom and in the military, not just me to be highlighted

Today is my day off, actually all days are holidays if there is no battle involving Ruby. It seems that the Ming also chose not to act rashly, they withdrew two troops just to protect their capital.

So a holiday, in Fuzhou there is a library that is now being renovated and used as the largest library in the Ruby region, the city of Indonesia, I was there exactly in a tall tower that if it was climbed it would take half a day

I was right at the top because there was a room large enough for me to read and laze around...

I picked up a book on alchemy magic, hypnotic magic, and dark magic

Alchemical magic is magic that has the same concept as ordinary magic that to create a thing then there is something else that must be paid. If magic in general uses mana, then alchemy uses materials that exist in nature

For example, to make a stick of wood or iron, I need the raw material, which is wood or iron itself. Because of this, this magic takes up much less mana than magic in general

It would suit me if my mana capacity stayed a little, but again do not underestimate my magic power now.... having trained all this time then maybe I am currently on par with Kyouka.

Furthermore, hypnotic magic, apparently there is magic that can affect the mind. But here it is written that using magic directly for it is very difficult, there needs to be an ancient object that can emit magic as an introduction

But what happened to Shin did not seem to me to encounter such a thing, it seems that there is a figure with very strong magic power here.

The last dark magic...?

"This magic is forbidden by various races ranging from Dwarves to Elves?"

It is a magic created and developed by the Devil nation in the past, a magic that is very strong but has a higher price than just mana or material. This magic demands payment with the body of its user depending on how powerful or complicated the magic is used

It is said that the Devils used to make their prisoners of war as magic experiments, they also had weapons that could serve the Seraphim and other coalition races at the expense of the prisoners

With the dimming of the Devil civilization due to their defeat against the coalition, although still practiced by some of them but done in secret.

By the way the Demon race still exists in this world, they would not have been annihilated by the coalition thousands of years ago. But the problem is where are they? I never heard even the wind

Since all three of these books have been finished reading, I intend to return them to the library under this tower. But.. ugh! Why is this tower so tall...

Yosh! Because I once said I want to train my stamina then let's just break through!

.

"Well.... Huh.... It was exhausting even to go down the tower,"

I sweat so much I think I'm gonna take a shower before I go back upstairs...

When I arrived at the library, it seems that there have been many visitors who came even though the place has not been completely. Judging from their appearance, it seemed that they were the educated people from all over this land

"Miss Rune, let me help you bring her book - Woah! Why are you so sweaty, miss? W-do you..."

"H-Hey! Don't think no-no, I'm reading on the top floor of the tower so wouldn't it be natural for me to sweat?"

"Y-Yes you're right..."

Why does he answer as if he does not want to continue this problem...that means he still thinks that no-no is not it?!

Regardless, I gave these three books to her and waited in front of the librarian's desk

"Miss, is there another book you want to read?" Ask the other librarian

"Well... Do you think something's interesting?"

"Alright, please prepare yes,"

As I waited, I leaned against the table and saw the tables filled with people reading books. These are nerds...

Then a girl came to me

"Oh! Are you one of the librarians?" Ask him with passion

Why is he so excited?

The girl had a similar appearance to those educated people, with long clothes and neat leather shoes. His short hair was bluish black, once again he looked extremely excited...

"No, I'm just a visitor, too,"

"Eh?! I'm sorry then," he said with a bow

"It's okay, then what are you looking for?"

"Hmm? Oh, I've already determined it, but can I borrow it to take home, huh...? Here it is full of problems" he said while showing the book he wanted to read

It's Ruby's history book.

"Ruby's History? Why do you want to read that when there are so many other books?"

"Ah, I was just curious. I heard that you have risen from the bottom up to now be able to repel Ming, where no kingdom in the Eastern Continent can do that" he replied

Uh....

"You can take that,"

"Eh? You said you weren't a librarian" she said confused

"No but do you know what badge this is?" I pointed to the badge on my clothes

"No....?"

Ughhhh...

"The bottom line is well. I'm sort of an important person in Ruby, at least one book I can take care of,"

"Oh! Really true?! Thanks!" He shook my hand aggressively

What a cheerful girl...

"ah! My name is Xia Li, I am from Qing," he introduced himself

"Qing's? You actually passed through Ming territory to get here?"

"Hehe, yes! It was an interesting journey, "he replied

"You're a strange girl. My name is Rune,"

"Rune....? Your names are hard for us to pronounce, "Is that so?

"Then do you have any advice?"

"What about having your own Eastern name? A name that's easy to pronounce?" His suggestion

Hm... It wasn't a bad idea, I thought my name in the previous world was suitable for use on this continent

"What about Ryuu?"

"Ryuu? I guess that's the name of the Southeast? It could also, at least be easier said than runes. Then you also need a surname, it proves that you're an important person" he said

"Oh? That means you are also an important person in Qing?"

"Yes, I was a noble there, though not a powerful noble at all. Therefore I went away from home to know many things in order to maintain my family" he explained

"If you stop by Qing, I will repay your kindness this time by taking you for a walk in the Eastern Continent Capital" he continued

"Beauty of it,"

Qing who was located in the middle of the Eastern Continent was commonly nicknamed like that, the Capital of the Eastern Continent. Aside from reflecting this intelligent Continent, Qing was also the largest city here, bigger than Jin city

Then there was an unwritten agreement that the Qing should not be fought because if so then half the knowledge of the Eastern Continent would be lost in the flames of war. But the practice is not like that

What existed was the item that attacked Qing, the entire kingdom in the Eastern Continent would stand to protect Qing from that party. In this case the Ming was right because they conquered nearly half the Continent before attacking Qing

Yet even after that, their expedition still failed because of the united forces that confronted them before reaching Qing.

If an army of 80,000 soldiers is repulsed, then that means there are still many kingdoms that we can control in the future. Just imagine how much military power we would have if we controlled the entire continent

I'm getting impatient...
