My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 136

#136

Continental Summit (4)

A conference hall where lively discussions take place on various agendas.

Perhaps thanks to the renewed atmosphere, the subsequent meeting proceeded smoothly.

The first decision was to create a Continental Allied Forces.

Separate from the military of each country, an organization similar to the UN force was formed to be able to respond immediately to any emergency.

Since it is an organization with a long history that has already proven its usefulness since the previous Immortal King incident, there were no significant differences of opinion.

Also, naturally, the commander of the allied forces was taken over by a paladin from the main church, who was free from the political interests of various powers.

“The most serious situation right now is the Principality of Rohan! It is a battlefield on three sides, excluding the southern part bordering the empire. “If we don’t get help like this, we don’t know when the country will collapse!”

It was an impassioned speech that came out when the creation of the Allied Forces was decided and the operation and support measures were discussed.

Of course, the person in question is Denis Rohan, the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Rohan.

“Hmm—certainly, since the monster madness incident is no different from an attack by the Immortal King, responding to it should also be carried out at the level of the Allied Forces.”

And Prince Simon of the Azerion Empire also agreed with his argument.

The Empire was reluctant to send troops directly as the situation was urgent, but there was nothing better than being able to help those who were no better than vassal states with the allied forces that had to be created anyway.

For a moment, the delegation from the Zephyr Republic showed signs of discomfort, but perhaps because of the public image, they did not protest much.

In the end, after much discussion, support for the Principality of Rohan was finally decided.

Grand Duke Denis sighed slightly, took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

‘done. Now I can breathe a little better with this. It will take some time for the Allied Forces to be formed and dispatched, but we will be able to withstand it somehow.’

Having achieved his intended goal, he was able to participate in the subsequent discussion with a slightly more relaxed mind.

And after going through several agendas, what finally began to be discussed was…

the formation of a ‘Special Mobile Strike Team against the Immortal King’, also known as a warrior party.

Their sole purpose is to deal directly with the Immortal King.

Of course, the one leading them was the current saint, ‘Heinrich St. Landgard.’

It could be seen as a unit with a long history and tradition, as its origins were the death-defying unit that defeated the previous immortal kings.

The heroes who risked their lives to pass through the path opened by the Continental Allied Forces, finally defeating the Immortal King and bringing peace to the continent twice.

As it was a great responsibility and honor, special attention had to be paid to selecting the personnel.

It was truly an event to select the best talent on the continent, but the expressions on the faces of those representing each faction were extremely subtle…

“Hmm, let’s do our best…”

“…Kh-hum.”

Their reaction was due to the survival rate of the previous generation’s suicide squad.

Without going into detail, there really wasn’t a single person who ended their life unscathed immediately after defeating the Immortal King.

Most of them died during the battle, and those who survived to the end suffered from extreme side effects such as permanent disabilities and curses, and their lives were short-lived.

The same goes for those who were saints and warriors.

The only difference was that they held out for a few more years, but in the end, it wasn’t long before they left for the arms of the Lord.

They were protected by all kinds of divine protection, but others had nothing to say.

The whole world is already in chaos.

However, there was no way that anyone would want to use up the best talent who represented one force and would reliably protect them in that way.

However, in a situation where everyone was watching, there was someone who once again raised his hand and opened his mouth without paying attention to what others were thinking…

“In that case, there is a talented person in our empire that I would like to recommend.”

Simon, the crown prince of the Azerion Empire, spoke with a meaningful smile.

“Viscount Isea Pristine is a genius wizard who has already risen to the rank of archmage despite being young. “You could say it’s a treasure that our empire is proud of.”

“Oh—Viscount Pristine certainly deserves it. The ‘Pluralistic analysis of ice magic using the crystal structure of ice’ that she presented last year is a new perspective on ice magic…” In

response to her words, an executive sitting at the table near the Magic Tower Alliance started talking excitedly. did.

The excitement quickly died down when the leader sitting right next to him glared at him gently.

‘Isea Pristine… I think I’ve heard of it. ‘If he is recognized by other forces, he is truly an outstanding talent.’

Since the position of a saint was a position, it was also part of the job to be familiar with information about the strong people of each country.

She was an emerging noblewoman of the empire whose name had only recently become known, and whose abilities were so outstanding that she was given a title solely based on her own abilities.

Did you say that as a wizard, he would be counted among the top ten on the Aeon Continent?

The exact age was not revealed, but from what was known, it was said that he would not have been in his 30s, so his potential for development could also be seen as endless.

As the crown prince said, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a treasure of the empire.

‘But you willingly recommended such a talented person from your country to a position known as Saji?’

Looking at the imperial attendants who looked embarrassed, it seemed like it was not something that had been agreed upon in advance.

Then the reason is obvious.

‘It seems like it’s static. Anyway, politicians never miss an opportunity.’

However, once the waters were opened, even those who had only observed each other’s opinions began to open their mouths.

“We cannot be left out of such an honorable position. Coincidentally, our country is showing rapid growth….”

“Now that I think about it, I heard that the Marquis of Serington of the Kingdom of Lesque is very incompetent….”

“Uh-huh! What are you talking about? He is older now….”

From political enemies in his own country to talented people in other countries.

Because the conditions for the Immortal King’s strike force were so high, there were not many suitable candidates, but as several people were mentioned with enthusiasm, the meeting room became more and more heated.

And Heinrich’s speed as he looked at them grew hotter.

Slowly, my stomach started to twist.

After all, isn’t their operation based on the premise that the party they are leading will be destroyed?

This is Heinrich St. Randgard’s party!

‘…I’ll make sure to turn them all into heroes and then send them back to them.’

With such a firm resolve, when he was watching the skit, naturally, there were not only those who were politically active.

“If I can be of any help, even in a small way, I will come forward myself…!”

“It’s not possible! “If the Apostle is away, our denomination….”

Starting with the leader of a small denomination who tried to step forward with enthusiasm but was stopped by the attendant next to him.

“Hmm, I guess my skills are still not enough to participate in the death squad, right?”

“At least you have to be at the master level…”

“If only I could get in as a seed…”

Some delegates were filled with unfounded confidence that they were different from others.

Among them was Shapiron, whose eyes continued to sparkle even as he received Harris’ pitiful gaze.

Muttering—

“Huh? “Harry, what are you eating?”

“Oh this? It’s called popcorn… Would you like to try it?

“…It looks peculiar. I guess it’s a specialty of the Aeon Continent?”

Fortunately, the interest wasn’t that great, but soon my attention was drawn to the food he was holding.

So, Harris sat next to her and looked at the conference room while chewing popcorn that had been brought in from Earth through “Avatar Cloud.”

‘But it seems to be slowly calming down. Well, even if I recommend it here, it won’t be decided right away.’

However, being carefree was only a facade. He was examining the situation more seriously than ever.

“Harris Harris. Are there any more of these? “It’s soft, salty, and delicious!”

After giving Shapiron a refill of hot popcorn, who had already eaten the entire bag after munching on it, he turned his gaze toward the central representative seat, who had become more calm.

However, despite the fact that quite a long time had passed and the atmosphere had grown, there were not many clearly decided agendas.

‘Well, the international situation will change depending on the results here, but not everything can be decided in one day. Even while the summit is being held, there are many people who are trying to take advantage of their own interests.’

Seeing how cooperation was not going well during this time, it seemed like they still lacked a sense of crisis.

“Then, today’s meeting will end here. We are planning to hold the second meeting tomorrow at the same time, so please attend without making any mistakes.”

Muttering –

Immediately after Archbishop Cordelia’s announcement of the closing ceremony, representatives from each faction gathered in groups of twos and threes and began to have conversations among themselves.

To share opinions with each other on the agenda that came up this time.

However, the different races of the Enamel Continent, who had been quietly watching the whole time, were trying to leave the place without much interaction this time.

‘You can’t do that. Isn’t it time for us to get to know each other?’

Okay, so…

this was just light recreation.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That moment.

“hmm?”

“What suddenly?”

The sacred barrier, emitting brilliant brilliance, began to glow intensely inside the venue.

And with the sound of sparks as if something were being torn apart.

[I guess I’m a little late.]

A low voice that seemed to echo from hell shook the space.

It was just a word, but everyone’s bodies stiffened at the presence that seemed to freeze even the souls contained within it.

“…!”

“This… is this…?”

Those who were confused by the sudden incident.

And when the evil energy flowing out with that terrible voice tried to penetrate their thoughts…

“How dare you tell me where this is!”

The divine aura of Saint Heinrich, who reacted quickly as if he had been waiting, warmly embraced everyone in the conference room.

[“Prepare for battle! “All paladins and holy knights, gather immediately!”]

His loud cry, which rang out immediately afterward, spread out in all directions like a wave, carrying deep sacred power—.

Chachachang—!

Quickly! Quickly!

The church forces that were guarding the surrounding area quickly prepared themselves and stormed into the conference hall.

It was literally a moment when something went wrong and a response was made.

Following the instructions given by Heinrich in advance, they led the delegation to the back and to a safe area built using holy relics just in case.

Coincidentally, it was a good place where one could clearly see the surrounding situation, but since understanding the situation was an important issue, it was not strange.

[Hmm… I guess I really prepared a lot this time. What a sacred barrier like this. Hehehe— I guess I was quite afraid of this body. Heinrich, the brave man!]

It’s so hard!

Amid the white sparks that continued to fly, a being whose entire body was wrapped in a deep dark energy slowly revealed itself.

A black robe that seemed to be made of the abyss itself and a strangely smiling mask peeking out from under the hood.

The overwhelming presence spreading out in all directions was something that no one living on this continent could be unaware of.

Even if it is someone who has never seen him in person, anyone who stands in front of him will realize it.

who he is

His name is…

“Hannibal Strauss! Even though you knew that, you showed up here. “I guess we looked quite ridiculous!”

Hans, the immortal king, broke into the conference hall where the continental summit was being held… No, Hannibal Strauss.

And the noble warrior Heinrich St. Randguard stands proudly against him, pulling out the holy sword from his palm.

Finally, the two archenemies faced each other again.

This is where the Continental Summit was held.
