Overgeared

"All 15 kingdoms except the empire dispatched an envoy?”

They refused the founding ceremony invitation, but now they sent representatives? The members of Overgeared reacted strongly when they heard the news.

“Why are they acting as they please? Why are they acting like we are pushovers?”

"It’s obnoxious, but the situation isn’t that bad. The fact that they sent representatives means they’re willing to deal with us.”

"Isn’t that too unbelievable? Those bastards are accepting Overgeared as a kingdom?”

“Why did they suddenly change their position?”

“Overgeared will become as big as the empire in the future and they are trying to suck up to us! Puhuhu!”

“Now they have realized the dignity of God Grid! Puhahahat!”

The more the conversation progressed, the more excited the atmosphere became. The positive energy generated by Peak Sword and Vantner caused unfounded confidence.

Lauel sighed and poured cold water on them. “That’s impossible. They will deny us until the end.”

“Eh? So why are they sending representatives?”

“Hut, isn’t it obvious? My reincarnation has already detected 100% of their intentions. Well, there won’t be too much trouble no matter how we act. Huhuhut, this is a very good opportunity.”

“...”

Lauel was very happy. He was like a snake looking at his prey: the representatives from 15 kingdoms.

It was around an hour after the Gauss Kingdom representative arrived. The rest of the 14 representatives gathered in Reinhardt. Baron Cudan of the Murrary Kingdom was surprised.

“There are a lot more people than I thought?”

Reinhardt Palace, where the founding ceremony would take place, was really packed. No matter where he turned his gaze, he could only see people. Why was it so crowded, despite being a kingdom without a foundation? It was completely unexpected. The representative of the Ultana Kingdom shrugged at the confused Baron Cudan.

"Aren’t they just pretending? Take a good look at their faces. There isn’t a single celebrity.”

“Certainly...”

There were no big people gathered at the venue. The majority of them were anchors and staff members of the broadcasting companies. There were also users with low or medium reputation. In the eyes of the NPC nobles, they were only flies.

“Where is Baron Kons of the Gauss Kingdom who arrived earlier?”

A knight dressed in black armor approached the representatives and explained.

"He suddenly moved to a restroom because he felt sick. Can I help you?”

“Um...? No, it’s okay.”

The knight’s equipment was unusual. The armor and weapons were all exceptional.

"I thought they wouldn't have enough money because they need to invest in the founding ceremony...”

“Overgeared Kingdom... It surprisingly has significant capital.”

“How can that be? It’s just bravado. The knights are only wearing good armor in front of the guests.”
