#6 Their story: the anti-empire forces story.

When a country is founded or ruined, it is a matter of truth that great bloodshed is had in the process.

And even among those, the history of the Karuan empire is particularly harsh.

A famine the likes of which were unheralded in history.

Where even the weeds were stripped bare from the earth in search of food, the corruption of the nobles grew by the day.

Normally, it would not have been unreasonable for a rebellion to have broken out.

But the nightmare that was the famine that spread through the entire continent denied the peasants even the strength to try.

It was then. A hero appeared.

A youth that described himself as the descendant of dragons.

That youth took care of the commoners with a miraculous power, and miracles appeared wherever that youth walked.

And so he took his followers, and declared war on the kingdom.

Up to here was a common story of how many kingdoms were founded.Reêad latest novels at

But the difference between the stories of other kingdoms and this one, was that this story did not end once he prevailed and became king.

When he took the throne, this was what he allegedly said in his first public speech.

Behold, there are still many people suffering in the continent! There are still many rotten countries that bleed their people dry!

And so the moment he established his kingdom, he immediately declared war on his neighbouring nations, and in just three years, he annexed another six countries and founded an empire.

A result that could only have been said to be a miracle of the famine that reduced both populations and war capabilities.

The end result was that the Karuan Empire began its first steps as an empire, and right now it has become the center of the continent as a superpower nation.

But, because of that the Karuan Empire had many enemies.

If we wait any longer, then there will be no more opportunities.

I agree. Right now, when we are the strongest is the greatest opportunity. We need to strike when they have let their guards down.

Now is the chance!

And among those many foes, the sole organization that acted within the empire.

Once they used to cooperate with the evil organization Howling, but after it was destroyed at the hands of the current Crown Prince, it became the sole organization hidden in the empire.

It was the secret hideout of the anti-empire forces, established by the descendants of the royal families that had fallen to the empire!

In that secret hideout, scores of people were strongly pushing their opinions onto a single person.

Howling has fallen. In an extremely short period of time. At most three days, no, in reality, it fell in just a couple of days.

And in the Great War, the imperial army suffered very few losses as they ended the war.

Yes, compared to the other victorious kingdoms that suffered significant setbacks to their military might despite their victory, the empire suffered almost no losses aside from losing their great general Ertea due to the ambush of the Merdeia kingdoms army.

Because of that they could concentrate on destroying Howling which was hiding inside their territory. And that is the same for us.

Normally everyone here would be suggesting opposite opinions, but today, each and every one of them were offering the same conclusion.

Indeed, I believe that it is harder for us to go on any further as well.

At the mutterings of the old man who stood at the head of the table, everyone else looked at the old man with nervous faces.

The empire is strong. Yes, even if it is strong, it is too strong.

No one objected to the old mans words.

Because like the old man said, the empire was the strongest nation that no one could touch.

Because of that, this is our last chance indeed, it is a good chance. But there is something that you are all mistaken on.

Wh, what is it?

Looking at the follower that had been with him for a long time, he smiled sagaciously and said.

We are too old.

What does that mean?

It is exactly as I say. We are too old. A thousand years. We existed for that long purely for the sake of revenge against the empire.

Exactly, its because of that!

No, thats the weird thing. Out of the nations that fell when the empire was founded, the oldest of them had a history of five hundred years. But it has been over a thousand since that country fell. To think we would hone our blades of revenge for twice as long as our countries existed

With a bitter smile, the old man looked over his followers who were looking at him with stunned faces.

Revenge for the fallen nations.

Very good, it was a good ideal.

Working to revive your fallen nation.

That was also certainly a good ambition.

But if that time had already passed over a thousand years then that was another story altogether.

But theres a reason for that.

But even among these people, no one bet on Yugrasia.

Even if Professor Nicerwin came, its just half a year. No one would hope for anything in that half year.

Aside from a few geniuses, the people that performed the greatest feats during the imperial festival were the third and fourth years.

Skill-wise, there was little difference between a first year and a fourth year, but the difference in experience was immense.

And the difference of experience made a huge difference in real matches like the imperial festival.

A real match was where even a single mistake could have you losing to an inferior opponent.

Just how much practical experience one had could lead to huge upsets.

Maybe if it was next year, but imperial festival isnt as low as to create upsets like that with just half a year.

thats true even if Nicerwin, one of the legendary summoners became a teacher there.

You can see just by the fact the odds are 12:1 as well.

What were the odds for Arucia and Marcis again?

Arucis is 1.2:1, Marcis is 1.3:1? How cheap.

Mercadia is 49:1 shouldnt they honestly make some events for Mercaria as well?

Dont you know? There were during the first imperial festivals but after the emperor said they were too boring and removed by imperial edict, they havent returned since.

Out of the people who were knocking back the booze, no one predicted a victory for Yugrasia.

Just a few individuals betting some petty change on the off chance of a windfall.

It was then.

Wham!

Ordah up!

Wh, what the?

There were many customers who kicked in the door.

This tavern-cum-gambling den was home to people who all had improper personalities after all.

But if the person in question was a little girl that barely seemed ten years old, that was a different story.

Hey, little girl. This isnt a place for kids.

What the hell, which dumbass moron told their daughter this place? Even so, dont bring your daughter here!

Yeah, for people like us with fuck-all lives, pure little children are way too scary.

Oioi, chase her out, chase her out!

Even as countless people, especially those with one hell of a mug and scowl all glared at her, the little girl still shamelessly moved her short legs forward.

Kiddo, this isnt a place to come at your age.

Yep yep. Good children shouldnt be in this place.

Its a cute little kid, isnt it? Want a drink with oppa here?

Wait a second, who was the last one? Report him to the imperial soldiers.

Looking at the men that were approaching one by one, the little girl finally began to scowl.

And to the first sacrifice who tried to put his hand on her.

Aruspecial, lolicon destruction punch

Kweeeeeekk!

She clocked his chin with a perfect shoryuken, and at this clean strike the mans eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.

Wh, what?

Did he just go down with a single hit from a kid?

Hang on! Isnt that the high-ranking mercenary Pellet! He can go toe to toe with knights as well, cant he?

Even as they murmured amongst themselves, the girl thought it was a pity that no more of them approached her.

Hiing at times like this they need to go all how dare you to my comrades! And all rush me so I can have even more fun!

But she was here for something else today.

If she just did this job right, then her owner said that he could create an even more exciting and fun academy life for her next year.

And so regathering herself, the girl pulled a barstool in front of the taverns owner who was cleaning glasses and sat herself onto it with lithe movements.

No matter how screwed over our establishment is, I still have no intentions of selling booze to minors?

Haang, I was never gunna drink in th first place! And since when did we care f things like dat? Ya sirrius?

As she said that, the little girl pulled out a jingling pouch from her pocket and tossed it the owners way with a smile.

Five thousand gold on Yugrasia. Piss off if ya gonna wimp out.

Betting odds of 12:1.

In this gamble that all the veteran gamblers said was impossible to win.

Only the master of this silver girl, guaranteed victory.
