You and me under the world tree

However, it is different now.

When the war was completely settled and the Gothic kingdom was reunited, the so-called truth surfaced.

Elmrich colluded with Palace Minister Sifka and Queen Ottilia to plan the coup.

Because Dittmar is well-known, he not only unified the entire Gothic territory and integrated forces, but also brought infinite confidence to the people.

So, they came up with an idea to discredit him.

fake identity.

Sifka was never an avenger, he was just a usurper who wanted to put his own and the queen's illegitimate son on the throne.

And Otilia is also a selfish, sinister and vicious woman.

King Dittmar is the true king of the Goths.

what?

Actual evidence?

These are not important.

The important thing is that Dietrich won the final victory.

Even though she is a highness princess, her outstanding military exploits are enough for her to overcome obstacles and climb to the highest position.

Once forced to leave the ancient capital, but now triumphant.

Maybe the rumors are different, but they all understand one thing, this woman made the whole city and several legions bow down with her own strength.

And such she was given a title.

The title spread extremely fast and became popular.

After the former Prince of Victory and Conqueror of Giants, she has a new title.

And this must be accompanied by her eternal status as king.

"King of Triumph!"

Epilogue [-]: Learning to be Independent

"In this way, the affairs of the atrium world are almost handled."

After hanging the prepared maps of the new atrium kingdom pattern in the palace on the wall of the study, the young king known as the Lord of Armies couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like a long time has passed from the beginning to the end? I feel a little unreal."

This is not a joke, but Siegfried's very real touch.

As for the reason, it is probably because of the comfortable environment created by the Netherlands itself.

Moreover, it is true that the time has not yet reached the point where it can be called 'extremely long'.

It took only three years from the outbreak of the coup, to the recapture of the territory, and to reunification.

But before that, do the math.

It seems almost five years away from the day when he returned to the Netherlands and announced his return with great fanfare.

And after subconsciously thinking of this, Siegfried himself couldn't help being taken aback.

And with that said...

"It's been so long before I know it."

If we continue to calculate forward, almost eight years have passed since he fled the city of wrath as the son of a blacksmith.

He raised his head subconsciously, and cast his eyes on the wizard in black robe sitting on the seat beside him.

"Although I may not feel that way myself, but thinking about it now, there are quite a lot of things that happened."

Not to mention the days of traveling.

A lot has happened since the day he actually became king of the Netherlands and set his sights on the world.

"A few years ago, there were all kinds of things on this map."

Looking at his newly hung power map, His Majesty, who can still be called a young king, couldn't help but speak.

Although there are only a few forces in the entire atrium world that can be called 'kingdoms', they can even be counted with one hand.

However, it is not only those kings who have real power, but also those lords.

The king is the supreme leader of a huge power, but the lords under him are not easy-going.

Because Harald's ruling territory is too large but he can't solve the problems of transportation and information transmission, the inheritance of the lord system established by this has become the fundamental factor that splits the kingdom and causes frequent wars.

There are even some lords with the title of 'King'.

Most of these have illustrious military exploits and made indelible contributions to the kingdom.

And even without those titles, the lord should not be underestimated, because the lord's own power is not small.

Although they must obey the standard laws of the kingdom, they also have the right to make laws themselves.

Moreover, although there are indeed restrictions in this regard, even now, the lord still retains the right to form an army.

It's nothing more than paying tribute to the king.

And if it's the founding monarch, it's fine, he alone is powerful enough to overwhelm the entire kingdom, but if it's the inherited characters, then conflicts will continue to arise.

Therefore, a qualified strategic power map must not only mark the existence of the kingdom, but also the lords under the king's command cannot be ignored.

So a map is destined to be colorful.

And because of the difference in drawing maps, the same lord and his territory have different standards on different maps.

And Siegfried's impression of the previous map was like this.

Except for his Netherlands, the other kingdoms are colorful in terms of power standards.

It didn't take long for the result to stop.

Dude, goths are split.

But a split is a split, anyway it's a domestic matter within the Goths, and Dietrich can take care of it himself.

So the map should not change much.

As a result, accidentally, the Kingdom of Burgundy disappeared in a game with the gods in the sky, and the Goths also completely took care of Denmark.

As a result, the map can no longer be changed.

"Why, do you think this map is not good-looking?"

After hearing Siegfried's exclamation, Hodder couldn't help curling his lips.

"I'm ashamed of you, you have done what other kings dream of doing."

The so-called lords are completely empty, the lords are set as honorary titles, and they are completely separated from power, and other people are responsible for both political power and military power.

For him, the monarch of the restoration of the country, all these were done in one step.

"That's not what I meant, uncle."

Although outside, Siegfried, Lord of Armies, has become synonymous with majesty and strength.

But in front of his elders, he still behaved a little silly.

"I just feel that some things don't have so much sense, as if all of a sudden, those kings and lords disappeared, but before..."

"When you used to fight the Hengding clan, you used the knife to go up and hit it, and you felt the real feeling, and it was clear, right?"

Howard shook his head involuntarily.

"The world is so big, how can you bump into every battle, and you have to find out where you are."

He closed his eyes.

"You need to learn to 'use' the people under your command, and you need to sit in the center yourself. Now Hagen has not returned from Burgundy, and it is impossible for me to stay here for long."

"Ok?"

At this moment, Siegfried felt as if he had heard something, and could not help but subconsciously frowned.

"Uncle, are you leaving?"

"Well, didn't I say it before, I want to take the time to go to the giant kingdom and find out what they say."

Howard said casually like this.

As for this, Siegfried did not respond immediately.

Because he doesn't agree with it.

As for why...

"Isn't it too early to go to the Kingdom of Giants?"

After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked the question in his heart.

"Why do you think so?"

After hearing the sage's question, Siegfried hesitated and couldn't answer.

But soon, he shook his head.

"Because the entire atrium world has not completely calmed down yet, I'm afraid there will be even greater chaos."

"You feel uneasy?"

"Ah."

Seeing Siegfried admit this frankly, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Some things are not what you think. If Midgard calms down, there will be problems, and the current state is just right."

Whether it is the Netherlands or the Goths, these two trustworthy kingdoms are at the height of their power.

The dwarves are responsible for hollowing out the ground and creating strongholds one after another.

"The next job for you is actually very simple. Maintain the current rhythm and gradually erode Burgundy."

Although now, the Burgundy region has been ruled by the Netherlands.

But Siegfried also understood what his uncle meant by 'nibbling'.

"The real power lord cannot stay, because whether it is the Netherlands or Burgundy, we must firmly control this land."

Whether above or below ground.

"As for the rest, about Norway, this is an exam I'll give you."

Then, he got up slowly.

"Siegfried, you can't always rely on me, because I have to leave next, and you have to learn to be completely independent."

For a long time, the Lord of Armies has not been able to achieve complete independence.

Not in terms of various decision-making aspects, but a state of mind.

Because of the presence of the sage and the presence of his uncle, he can safely carry out his own political strategy, as if no matter what he does, someone will back him up.

This kind of subconscious dependence made him unable to go further in the status of 'king'.

"So, you have to work harder, Siegfried."

"……Um."

After hesitating for a moment, the Lord of Armies finally nodded.

"Then, there is one more thing I need your help with."

"Ok?"
