46 [1-46] Its a dark day today. (2/2)

Under the tent set up in the main camp.

Rene was pleased to feel the fear rising from within the city, which was just barely within range of his emotional detection.

From the beginning, he hadn't expected the citizens to be so afraid of him that they would move to kill Hilbert.

However, it is important to make many people think that there might be a possibility of reconciliation when they are attacked.

In extreme situations, there is a sense of 'can't I just save myself? If we can stir up such a feeling, it will lead to the next step.

Do not let them unite. Let them think that if they betray their neighbors, betray their friends, betray their king, ...... they alone can be saved.

Thank you for your kind words, sir.

The open tent, with only a windbreak wall, was prepared as a command center.

Next to it, Alastor is writing endlessly on a desk lined with maps and callers.

As in the battle to destroy Wesara, once the battle begins, Alastor will be in the rear, in charge of the entire operation. But until then, he has other work to do.

Alastor is keeping a record of the movements of the major nobles in the coup.

In a few days, his intellect and memory will deteriorate beyond recognition. We need him to output his memories before then.

Who was it that drove Rene to his death back then? ...... Alastor knows best.

For now, we are attacking King's Landing first, but we don't want any of those involved to go unharmed. For that reason, we need to know what the situation was like, who was thinking what, and what they were doing.

Incidentally, the speech I mentioned earlier was prepared by him as a speechwriter during the march.

Alastor. I have a lot of questions about the amount of information you have. What is this manuscript B?

René flips open a sheet of dead paper.

”The theme was 'The Innocence and Cruelty of Childhood'.

The theme was 'The innocence and cruelty of childhood. I think it's overproduced.

”I'm sorry.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Rene was aware that she was playing the role of the ”Rose Princess of Hell”. The princess who bears all the grudges of the country and the royal family. In reality, Renée's revenge is a personal affront, and she didn't know her origins until just before she was killed, but she thought it would be more effective as a revenger if she took part in the story of the ”tragic princess”.

Her noble demeanor, which she had acquired during the month-long undercover operation, helped her.

If he was not careful, he would start to speak in a flirtatious tone that he used to use when he was just a commoner, but he tried to control it. It is important to be feared, and self-branding is important.

--Even so. It's a shame to lose Alastor's brain. I didn't have high hopes for him because he seemed like just a scared and pathetic old man, but he's quite capable as a military strategist. If I turn him into a ghoul, most of his memories and personality will disappear, but if I turn him into a ghoul now, will he become a smart ghoul?

He showed mysterious ability as a speechwriter, but he was also excellent as a commander and a military strategist.

Rene and Alastor were involved in the planning of the attack on King's Landing in a ratio of about 3:7. Alastor fleshed out Rene's general plan and corrected any flaws.

--I could not have done this attack by myself.

...... I'm gonna need some help. It's a good thing I'm not the only one. Even the Demon Lord uses his minions to fight the heroes and destroy nations.

The undead are useful but also troublesome. ...... I'd like to have more undead companions. This isn't the end of Ciel-Teira.

Rene's revenge is not confined to Ciel-Teira.

He'll have to pay the four powers that led the coup for the mineral resources.

And finally, I want to find and implement a way to blow up the Great God.

I felt that it would be impossible for me to do all that by myself. Even with the powerful blessings from the evil gods (cheats).

Alastor, who is an ordinary person with a garbage fighting ability (compared to Rene), is now a great help to Rene in his fight. It has helped him reach places that Rene alone could not reach. I'm sure that will happen again in the future.

--Well, it's going to be hard to find people who know what I want and are willing to help me.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Suddenly, Rene felt a chill welling up from deep within his body, and he suspended his future plans.

The royal capital was glowing with white light. The light radiated out and enveloped the entire city like a dome and stayed in space.
