Chapter 71: The Kingdom Project VII (part 2)

“What are you talking about again?”

The elders frowned as the unexpected words, and the middle-aged elder began to explain the situation to them in a worried voice.

And the response…

“Bahamut…he dares to do that?”

“That’s right, Bahamut and his Beden Merchant Company. They started helping King Mohichi some time ago. Rumor has it that he is spending a huge amount of money to help rebuild the Black Legion, he is even bribing those greedy nobles to support the king.”

In the process of establishing roots throughout Hangury, the Sakiel Knights naturally attracted many nobles to their side.

The reason why the most important base of the Sakiel Knights was located in Hangury was thanks to the support of the corrupt nobles, and it would have been difficult for them to gather an army this size if the nobles hadn’t opened the border with an appropriate pretext.

Now all that remained was to use Hangury as a shield in the war by pressuring the King of Mohichi through the nobles. However, just as the pressure from the corrupt and foolish aristocrats was slowly bearing fruit, the situation suddenly turned around as a variable called Bahamut appeared.

It was unknown what kind of transaction took place between the two, but Bahamut mobilized an enormous amount of funds and supplies, beyond the capabilities of the Sakiel Knights, and the king, who was about to fall, turned his back on them.

“Reconstruction of the Black Legion…certainly, as long as the talents of the past still remain, it is not a difficult task as long as there is money and supplies.”

“The situation has become really annoying. Dealing with the Dragona Empire on our own will be too much of a burden. Even if we succeed, we will suffer irreparable damage.”

“But is there any other way? If the Black Legion were to regain the same majesty as before, there is a high possibility that they would completely sever their ties with us. The plan to mobilize the King of Hangury will be completely foiled.”

If the power of the king, who was like a puppet, became stronger, it would naturally weaken the power of the nobles, and it would become impossible to change the king’s mind as a result. Furthermore, the Sakiel Knights, who were supported by nobles, would also be in danger of losing their foundation in Hangury.

In the worst case, it was even possible that the entire Sakiel Knights would be swept away while facing the sword of the Black Legion that had regained its strength.

“We can’t let things go their way anymore. It’s a bit extreme, but we have no choice but to strike first.”

“Hmm…should we really do such a thing?”

At the words of the middle-aged elder, the others looked at him, so he cautiously spoke his mind, “That… isn’t that a bit excessive? “

Another elder nodded, “Our opponent is Bahamut of the Beden Merchant Company, he has connections with the Uranus Merchant Company, and he has a strong relationship with the Holy Church. Touching someone like that is…”

“Do you have a better way? Then tell me. Is there anyone among us who can defeat Bahamut with financial strength?”

“Uh…um…”

“….”

Other five godfathers could no longer say anything at the words of the militaristic elder.

The man named Bahamut and his Beden Merchant Company, had grown into an enormous financial giant. No one could guarantee certain victory against him even if they all combined their wealth.

In the end, the only way left for them was a method that was drastic and required considerable risk.

***

In a dark room, a person was quietly reading a piece of paper in the candle light.

Shortly thereafter, a smile began to spread across their lips.

“Hmm, so you mean they are going to use that method? Targeting Bahamut himself…”

“Yes, we are. Even if we are not completely successful and only manage to injure him, it will be possible to achieve our goal by time he gets better…”

Responded the middle-aged man sitting in front of the person.

This middle-aged man, was one of the five godfathers of the Sakiel Knights. At the moment, he was carefully reporting the situation to his sponsor.

“I see…there are only a few weeks left before the start of the war, so it will be enough for us to make him bedridden. It’ll be even better if he just dies. How is the atmosphere inside the Sakiel Knights?”

“Other elders also agreed, so there seems to be no big problem there. What is your opinion?”

“There’s no other way to get rid of this issue. So go ahead and provide help. Of course, you know very well that failure is not acceptable, right?”

“Don’t worry. We will definitely make it a success.”

Hearing the determined voice of the elder, the person slowly lowered the papers they were holding in their jade-white hands.

There was a single seal stamped on the papers…the seal with the image of a roaring red dragon.
