Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

The level of the elves who arrived was unusual.

【Lv. 91]

The level of the elf in the lead was slightly lower than that of Calliope.

The two following escorts were around 60, which was a lot lower, but compared to the rest of the group except for Calliope, it was a lot higher.

If Calliope was alone, it would be very difficult to fight while protecting me.

‘Life never goes smoothly.’

For some reason, in the face of life-and-death danger, my heart strangely calmed down.

In front of the crisis, the heart was beating more calmly than in everyday life.

‘Is this the effect of the iron man’s characteristics?’

[Your rank allows you to keep your composure no matter who your opponent is.]

“hi. monkeys. Shall we have a conversation? Like a gentleman.”

The white horse stopped in front of me, raised its paws and swung menacingly.

At a distance where my head could be blown off by a hoof, I stood silently and watched the elves.

‘No matter how many times I see him, he’s the same guy.’

I looked at a familiar face that seemed familiar.

According to the setting, the hair of an elf seems to be made of silver, and the skin seems to contain moonlight.

If you look at the real thing, you can really describe it like that.

But I’m not seduced by that look.

Elves are a race that contains demons within their beautiful appearance.

And the one in front of me is the most demonic of them all.

‘Human butcher, Raeragon. It’s before the war, so I’m not a butcher, but a hunter.’

In many fantasies, elves are portrayed as lofty creatures living in the forest.

They are so lofty that they live scattered in their own forests without kingdoms or empires, only to be hunted by humans.

However, they are not elves in this world.

Elves in this world hunt humans and sell them as slaves.

Long-eared, ten thousand years beyond a thousand years, this goddamn tribe has built kingdoms and empires.

To them, a history of less than a thousand years is barbarism that cannot fit into the axis of civilization.

‘Is it only elves? There are dwarves, and monsters such as orcs, naga, goblins, and lizardmen each have their own country.’

Humans are the last race to build a civilization in this world.

Humans are the weakest race in this world.

That’s why the ending is survival in this game.

– Survive as the weakest, endangered species.

Lv.91. Laeragon

“Are you pretty strong?”

Laeragon smiled at Calliope.

“I’ve never seen a monkey as strong as you. What is your name?”

“…”

Calliope did not answer.

He didn’t show his face because he was wearing a helmet, but he must have been expressionless.

Among humans, there were some who were sometimes enchanted by the appearance of elves, but the family was different.

No matter how beautiful she is, she cannot shake the hearts of her family.

Calliope remained silent and prepared to slash the moment Laeragon entered the gap between the swords.

“cheeky···!”

“it’s okay.”

When the escort showed his teeth and became angry, Laeragon stopped him with a chin.

Although he regarded humans as monkeys, he was not angry that he had been ignored.

‘It must be because I like strong men.’

Raeragon is a guy with a clear respect for power.

On the other hand, he is merciless towards the weak.

Being cruel to humans is part of that nature.

To him, humans are nothing more than monkeys imitating human speech.

“Are you unable to speak? Do you have no tongue? Why don’t you take off your helmet? Aren’t we supposed to talk to each other face to face?”

I gestured to Laeragon, who was still smiling and talking softly.

“There is no need for that.”

Raeragon frowned.

Their eyes met me and a cool sensation ran through my chest.

“Monkey. I’m not intruding on the conversation.”

“Shut up. a goblin.”

“what?”

Laeragon blinked.

It was so quiet that I thought I could hear the blinking of my eyes.

“…Are you a dwarf?”

Living wrapped around me.

I was out of breath and my heart was pounding.

The difference in level also makes a difference in momentum.

But I felt the pressure engulfing me disappear.

Like the ebb tide, my life ran out and my body regained its composure.

I found that this is an effect of the iron man’s characteristics.

‘It’s a good trait to bluff.’

I smiled and looked up at Raeragon.

Laeragon tilted his head as he saw me still intact even after receiving a direct hit to kill me.

“Are you going to leave the owner and talk to the lower ones?”

“master? Your bastard?”

The mixture of anger and bewilderment on his face changed to an expression of absurdity.

Even if you can’t see the level, you have the strength to measure it with your intuition.

To him, I’d look like a weakling worse than an ant.

I pushed back Calliope who blocked me and stepped forward.

Laeragon looked at me and narrowed his eyes.

“Laeragon. He is the prince of silver leaves. He’s a kid who hasn’t lived a thousand years, so he doesn’t even have eyes for people.”

The elves widened their eyes.

A monkey who is worse than a stranger, even a savage who is not worth interacting with, knows the identity of the prince?

His expression became quite serious, and his eyes looking at me became more intense.

“Who the hell are you?”

“well?”

I stood grimly, laughing out loud.

It’s a dangerous thing that could blow my neck off.

However, if Calliope sticks with the elves like this, that too is dangerous.

Killing Raeragon won’t solve the problem.

Rather, an unbearable aftermath will come to hold them accountable for killing the prince of the elves.

‘If this is recognized as my land, it will be over. There is no need to fight ignorantly.’

“What brought you here?”

“Is it a problem that I came to my land?”

“This is the land of me, Laeragon.”

“It’s the first time I’ve heard of it.”

As soon as he reached out to Kistler, he quickly handed over the duke’s letter.

“I inherited this land from the Duke of Sudret. I haven’t heard of you dwarves. If it was originally your land, wouldn’t the duke have told me?”

Laeragon received the letter and read it, then tore it up and tore it up, blushing.

“dare! Are you saying that a monkey tricked this body!”

‘You cheated. Has there already been an agreement to hand over the frontier?’

Indeed, when I thought so, it made sense.

Why did they leave it behind without dispatching an agent to the frontier?

No matter how small the land, if it is yours, it is noble to keep your eyes open.

Judging by the fact that he picked me up and sent me here, he couldn’t have been unaware of the existence of this land.

‘He made this with the intention of killing me from the beginning.’

When I think of Ibella’s cunning, it still remains.

‘Selling out my species when it’s not enough even if we fight together as one?’

Aren’t they trash on a different level from traitors?

It’s one of the kind of beggars I’ve seen countless times in previous episodes.

Traitors know that even if the country is changed, the race cannot be changed.

However, the tribe that sells out their own people thinks and acts as if they are honorary elves.

Even though to the elves, it was just a monkey that listened well.

‘One more reason to kill.’

“It is your fault to be deceived. Are you going to ask me?”

“Shut up!”

A strong wind whipped my face.

As if the frame of the video was cut, Laeragon, who was sitting on a horse, was in front of me.

He was striking a curved sword over my head with his sword, and Calliope was blocking it.

“Kuk!”

Raeragon’s arms trembled.

The difference in level was only 1, but the difference was greater than the number.

Laeragon, who was about to smash my head with all his might, was pushed back by Calliope with force.

I was relieved inwardly as I watched the confrontation between the two.

‘It’s a benefit to have a low level.’

Since his level was extremely low, he couldn’t react to Laeragon’s movements.

If the body reacted awkwardly and tried to run away, it would have been exposed that the movement was sloppy.

The fact that he didn’t even move even though the blade was right in front of him must have created the illusion that he was bold.

‘If you look at the expression, you can see clearly.’

Laeragon was wary of me even while competing with Calliope.

As if it would be dangerous if I ran into it.

That’s why I overestimated myself.

“This… damn it!”

Consternation and anger came to the boy’s face.

Grinding his teeth and twisting his body, he fired several sword strikes, but each time he was blocked by Calliope and retreated.

Anyone could see that Raeragon was clearly being pushed back.

‘Hasn’t the curse been lifted yet?’

There is a reason why the level 1 difference makes such a difference.

I remembered that it was a time when Laeragon had not yet fully healed his cursed injuries.

As the atmosphere heats up, I see Laeragon’s guards glancing at me and putting their hands on the bowstrings.

‘Are they going to target me first?’

It must be the intention of pruning the branches that get in the way of helping Raeragon.

Calliope has the upper hand, but it is a heavy burden to fight while protecting me.

There were other family members by my side, but the level gap was 50 or so.

In fact, it is a gap that cannot even be arrowed.

‘I’ll have to cut it off at this point.’

“stop.”

“…”

Calliope, who had been pushing, came back in front of me.

Laeragon’s face turned red and he glared at me while exhaling a long breath.

A shallow but long cut was visible under the guy’s neck.

He raised his collar to hide his scars, but he couldn’t hide the humiliation on his face.

“There is no need to fight each other.”

“What bullsh*t?”

“If you die here, won’t your brothers and sisters come?”

“…”

“That is very annoying. There is a pact from Mishu, but you shouldn’t escalate your work.”

Mishu’s contract.

One of the reasons why humans treated as monkeys have not yet been conquered.

This is because all civilizations other than humans once gathered and drew borders.

The deadline for the contract is almost over, but that’s why it’s being kept even more.

There is no need to forcefully break an agreement that will disappear after a while.

“And it only feels bad to beat an opponent who is not in good shape.”

Raeragon’s eyes twitched when I hinted at the curse on his body.

I smiled lightly at the look on his face asking how he knew that.

“so?”

“Do not touch my land. Then don’t just let me go.”

“······joy.”

Raeragon withdrew his sword and retreated.

“good. Instead, there are conditions.”

“condition?”

“Attend the representative ceremony.”

“To the representative?”

Tura Laeragon, who knew the representative system, noticed my tone.

“You know the representative system.”

The representative system refers to the meeting of the world’s major civilized countries.

The agendas dealt with here are usually military, political, and diplomatic conflicts between countries.

Since they claim to be civilized people in their own way, it is a system created to avoid unnecessarily large quarrels.

As an analogy, it should be seen as close to a meeting between permanent member states.

“I know that the Great Emperor does not accept humans, right?”

“This is an urgent agenda, so we can make an exception this time. This land was originally intended for me to receive. It is a matter that is decided first in the representative system. I cannot hand it over to you unilaterally. Likewise, decisions must be made in a representative system.”

“Right.”

‘Is that really all?’

The representative system is not a light place.

Raeragon isn’t that generous either.

He had other plans, I suspected, but didn’t refuse.

‘Participating in the great ceremony was something that would happen someday as long as I owned this land. However, it’s sooner than I thought. very.’

I don’t like it, but since Laeragon claimed it as my own, there is no other way to be recognized as the owner of this land without a war.

This land is a small part of the Great Plains, designated as a neutral zone by the Great Emperor for a long time.

Since it was the representative system that dismantled and distributed the neutral zone, whose side would Laeragon, who is a member of the representative system, claim ownership of?

A human who is inferior to them and is nothing more than a monkey?

Or the elves, the founding race of the Great Empire, with a history of 10,000 years?

‘It’s too dangerous to get entangled with those who move the world in a situation where you haven’t built any foundation yet. But the potential of this land is just as high.’

It is also possible to choose to give up ownership and step down.

The land that Sudret gave me was a colony of only about a hundred people and its surroundings.

Being appointed to a place like this is not like a lord, but like a village chief.

But I knew how valuable it was to settle down on this land.

‘Fertile land, a mine that never dries up, a location that must be passed whether heading to a human or a different race, as well as a mountain range that is the best condition for a defender. Should I give up on this place?’

Of course, among those benefits, only one fertile land can be enjoyed in Olymus.

Even that was only around the periphery of Olymus, so it wasn’t very wide.

However, if you own this land, you can expand around it.

‘If it was the same time period as the main story, it would have been after the heterogeneous guy had already deeply rooted. Fortunately, I had just reached out. If that’s the case, I’ll have to preempt it, even if it’s a little too much.’

For my own possession of this land would make future enemies weak without a fight.

Now was the right time, when the value of the Great Plains was not fully revealed.

‘And if I do well… I might be able to aim for something bigger.’

In the first place, that was the reason I came to the frontier village, which was no different from an exile.

However, things just went faster than expected.

Watching that the skill cooldown time would be short, he refined his plan.

Raeragon’s escort sang magic and opened the gate.

“Follow me.”

As I was about to go inside with my friends, Anton suddenly stepped out.

“Hey, wait!”

Laeragon turned to Anton.

Unlike the first time he saw me, his eyes were wary.

Maybe it’s because of the suspicion that he might be hiding his skills like me.

“The right to this land belongs to the Count! I will participate.”

Laeragon’s gaze turned to me.

I was asking if it was related, so he shrugged my shoulders.

“Right.”

The vigilance was released and the gaze changed to see things that were not the same.

“then······.”

Anton was about to say something when Laeragon gestured.

“What… billion!”

With the sound of the wind leaking, the bones were crushed and the body twisted grotesquely.

The crushed bones tore the flesh and blood spurted out.

Laeragon simply reached out.

The magic power formed at the fingertips enveloped Anton’s body and crushed it at once.

“A lowly monkey dares to be safe.”

Raeragon removed his gaze as if he was dirty even in his eyes.

Then he smiled at me and stretched his arms out to the gate.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

###

Beyond the gate was the inside of a white building that hurt the eyes.

Light was seeping into the great hall from all sides.

The ceiling is dome-shaped, and murals and sculptures depicting myths are carved on the walls.

As I slowly walked along Laeragon, I caught sight of what I had seen through the screen in my previous life.

‘Looking at it in real life, it’s even grander.’

“Wonderful? know with glory Because you are the first among the monkeys.”

Laeragon raised the corner of his mouth.

I noticed the pride in his voice.

‘It was an elf who built this building.’

Elves are a race that takes great pride in their culture.

In addition, Raeragon is even the prince of the elves.

It’s good to see you admiring your own culture.

“no.”

I decided to break that guy’s mood.

“Hmm, I was staring too hard for something like that.”

“I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“what?”

He stops walking and looks at me with round eyes.

I haven’t counted the number of times, but the number of times I’ve visited the great festival in my previous life must be more than that of Laeragon.

I didn’t bother to answer.

Ignoring the guy’s gaze demanding an answer, the attendant approached.

“Are you here? Lord Laeragon.”

“uh.”

“I haven’t received anything from my home country, but maybe something…?”

“We call an urgent meeting. Tell them the agenda is about the division of the Great Plains of Oroko.”

The attendant hurriedly walked away and we entered the meeting room.

It was a fairly large inner hall.

There were numerous seats in a semicircle like an opera house.

The center of the semi-circle of seats looked at one wide table and eight seats.

Laeragon sat in what seemed to be the most prestigious of the eight seats.

I sat in the opposite seat to the seat of honor.

“Caliope, wait outside.”

Calliope asked the reason with her eyes without saying a word.

“This is a place where only ambassadors and attendants cannot enter. You can’t break the rules, so stay outside.”
