Overgeared

The Overgeared Empire was different from the Saharan Empire. The will of the Empire wasn’t imposed on other nations. From the perspective of other nations, there was no reason to disobey.

In the first place, they shouldn’t disobey. It was because every kingdom on the continent was economically dependent on the Empire.

At some point, they came to their senses and this was what happened. It was the result that Lauel created. Lauel shackled the other kingdoms with money and power, not force. It was covertly and tenaciously. It was designed so that they couldn’t disobey the Empire even if the sky collapsed.

It wasn’t strange to incur other people’s grudges. In particular, it was normal for the royalty of other kingdoms to not see Lauel in a good light.

However, this wasn’t a normal situation. All the royal families in the world served Grid. They offered up tributes of their own will. They gave unconditional favor and support that was beyond the level of not disobeying the Empire. They were even grateful to Lauel.

“Prime Minister Lauel. Thank you for making my kingdom dependent on the Empire. Thanks to you, I can happily serve the Empire to my heart’s content without any backlash from anyone.”

In fact, there were many kings who secretly greeted him in this way.

“......”

At the banquet hall after the grand wedding...

Lauel, who had strengthened his escort because there were so too many places to stab him, made a strange and complicated expression.

Oh my god. There was actually a time when he received thanks, not complaints.

The impact of Grid was realized. It was very touching that all of humanity loved and respected Grid.

‘I’m happy and proud, but it is awkward.’

To be exact, it was embarrassing. The goodwill of the people made him feel guilty. It was an emotion he didn’t feel even when he buried tens of thousands of enemy prisoners who surrendered and abandoned their weapons.

Basara, who was watching Lauel gradually increase the speed at which he drank from the glass, cautiously said, “I think it would be good if you can relax a bit in the future.”

Be generous—she didn’t dare use such words. She didn’t want to look like she was blaming Lauel.

Basara had a personality that was the opposite of Lauel, but she still respected Lauel. She could clearly feel the existence of the current Empire thanks to Lauel.

“……”

Lauel was a clever person. He immediately grasped the meaning and consideration contained in Basara’s words. A life of oppression and using others for the development of the Empire and Grid. Was it necessary to do this in the future?

He thought about it while watching the faces of the people who filled the banquet hall. After a while, Lauel emptied his glass several more times and said, “That’s right. I would like to go on a vacation.”

Grid and the Empire had become even stronger. From the time when Grid’s hell expedition, which felt a bit unreasonable, was successfully completed, it became okay to add modifiers such as ‘immortal’ and ‘eternal.’ No matter how many years passed, Grid’s feats wouldn’t be undermined. He would be remembered and praised forever unless the world was destroyed.

In other words, there was only one thing that the Overgeared Guild should be careful about in the future. It was to prevent the world from being destroyed.

‘Rebecca.’

Lauel responded with a toast to the smiling Basara and raised his head.

The soaring ceiling—he thought of the sky and Asgard that existed beyond it. He remembered the supreme ruler of Asgard who repeatedly destroyed and recreated the world.

That’s right. Now there was only one thing for the Overgeared Guild to guard against: Asgard.

“......?”

Lauel was contemplating it with a serious face when he suddenly listened carefully. It was because an interesting conversation was taking place at the gathering of Overgeared members.

“Infinite Tower?”

“It is weak.”
