The Exiled Hero Has Been Resummoned

16 – Preparing for the Revolution 2

ㅡ Did you hear that story too?

ㅡ Let’s talk quietly. It can be embarrassing for soldiers to hear.

ㅡ I heard a strange story, that the hero did not leave voluntarily, but was actually kicked out?

ㅡ It’s strange, but to go to the original world, refusing all the honor and wealth.

ㅡ That’s right, didn’t he have a lover? Were you a wizard girl?

ㅡ There is a saying that the reason why the devil has now awakened is a punishment from the goddess’ wrath…….

ㅡ That deserves to be punished! Isn’t it the same as giving up a hero to save the world, but only accepting it and betraying it?

ㅡ Even if I am a goddess, I will punish you.

ㅡ Shit, it’s not that the world is like this because of incompetent people anyway. What’s wrong with me

Annelian, who was disguised as a woman with light-colored blonde hair, smiled as she listened to the story being heard on the street.

‘I can’t hear anything but this anywhere I go now. It worked.’

It was a quiet atmosphere when there were even soldiers around, but these days even the guards were talking about this topic.

Disguise is one of her specialties.

Annelian hid her ears, and she changed into various human forms, spreading rumors from place to place.

Is it because of the fear of approaching destruction?

It may be because hopes for reconstruction collapsed in an instant, and public sentiment became more vicious than ever.

Rumors spread throughout the empire with unprecedented speed.

Isn’t that a fact that is very shocking and can be reasonably doubted?

The imperial family failed to undermine the hero’s reputation.

When a hero worked hard to save the world and save people, the reputation of the hero was the image of the imperial family.

However, when the time came for the tosagupaeng, it was too good even if the reputation of the warrior in the eyes of the people was good according to Chaejin’s unique character.

So, even after the hero was forcibly exiled, the imperial family had to pretend to pay respect to the hero and inform them of the news.

[ The great warrior who saved the world returned to the original world without any regrets, saying that he had done his duty! ]

With that feeling.

At first, I thought it wouldn’t matter.

I didn’t know that the clone body would wake up again, and I didn’t know that the warrior I expelled would come back as the only one.

Now the Empire was paying the price for its complacency.

The public sentiment, which used to be vicious, is only getting worse day by day.

In the meantime, even some of the nobles were repulsive towards the imperial leadership.

Of course, they were those who did not participate in the expulsion of the hero.

Numerous disasters like time bombs strangle the empire every moment.

Among them, the worst is…….

[ All the rumors going around the Empire are true. ]

[ Hero Han Chae-jin came to Seongguk and testified. He said he did not return of his own will. ]

[ The truth is that the imperial leadership did not want to keep their promise to the hero, so they forcibly expelled them! ]

[ The cause of the reawakening of the demon now lies in the imperial leadership. ]

[ The demon defeated by the hero was destined to disappear on its own if the seal was maintained for about a year, but the hero, the subject of the seal, was banished and awakened again. ]

[ At this, the goddess was greatly angered, and ordered an unforgiving judgment against the forces that betrayed the warrior. With the saying that there is no salvation before judgment! ]

[ So, our holy kingdom, which serves the goddess, declares war on the Empire by charging it with treachery and conspiring to massacre. ]

[ This is a temple. Seongguk will fight to help the warriors save the world and protect the weak according to the will of the goddess! ]

Declaration of war by the Holy Kingdom.

Of course, the empire responded by saying that it was just a groundless bluff, but few people believed in the official documents of the empire.

ㅡ What is that? Is it real?

ㅡ Doesn’t sound like a lie…….

ㅡ You said the hero was banished? How could that be?

ㅡ Then you’re saying that you’re in this state now because of the superiors?

ㅡ What the hell were you thinking!

‘It seems that the heroes and people from other countries are also on the move.’

Watching the progress of the rumors, Annelian slowly decided to return to the elven kingdom.

Now, the work to be done in the country of humans is over.

Is the only thing left to do is go back and wait for the hero to call for you while adjusting your strength?

‘It doesn’t matter if you say you won’t use the rights. In any case, in order to fight it, I have to become as strong as I can.’

Still, Annelian wanted Chaejin to write the rights.

It was because I wanted to see with my own eyes how the empire was burned and the heads of the nobles fell on the guillotine.

“Damn it!”

The emperor rubbed his forehead and spat out a curse.

He has always maintained a decent demeanor since he passed middle age and entered old age, but he couldn’t do that even in this situation.

About 7 days after the Holy Kingdom declared war.

He was an emperor who had reigned and ruled over humans for decades, but it was the first time he had ever seen public sentiment boil so fiercely.

Yesterday, there was even a large-scale demonstration in front of the imperial palace, as if they weren’t afraid of swords, spears, and magic.

He told me to explain the truth about the hero and what happened to the Seongguk’s declaration of war.

Originally, it was something I would never have dreamed of.

It is a sin that is not enough even if all the people gathered are arrested and beheaded.

But the imperial family couldn’t do that.

If that happened, it would be like acknowledging the rumors, and at that moment, it was almost certain that a large-scale popular uprising unprecedented in the history of the continent would occur.

Their world may end before the world perishes.

‘Why did this happen… ….’

The beginning was clear.

A woman who appeared in front of her 10 years ago, her own.

‘I didn’t believe in such witches.’

The woman who called herself a prophetess, she approached the emperor and said while hiding her identity as a maid of the imperial palace.

[ Your Majesty, in a few months the stars will fall from the sky and be embedded in the Lowell Plains. If this is false, you may cut my throat. ]

At first, she thought she was crazy, but she became interested and ordered a man from the East Sea to watch over the Lowell Plain.

But a few months later, news came that a star really fell from the sky and landed on the plain.

The emperor couldn’t hide his admiration, but he decided to take the test because he thought it was too soon to believe.

If she answered the big prophecy three times, she would be recognized as an official imperial prophet.

And one year later.

[ I believe. You are truly a prophet! How the hell do you know? ]

[ Everything is the will of heaven. I only read the voices of heaven. ]

Just as the emperor said, she was recognized as the most highly regarded prophet in her household.

[hahahaha, running this huge country is not an easy task…… After you came, everything went smoothly. Why did you come now? I wish I could have met you when I was conquering the world! ]

[ That is also the will of heaven. And you haven’t completely conquered your majesty yet, have you? ]

[ What do you mean by that? ]

[ Those who know the fortress that nature gave them as their own strength. Emperor, you must achieve complete unification someday. ]

[ … …. ]

The conquest of a heterogeneous nation that eventually gave up because the soldiers were constantly being ground in front of the fortress of nature.

All of the surrounding subjects comforted him by saying that the villages of different tribes were only small countries that could be conquered at any time, but in the emperor’s heart, that always remained like a thorn in his throat.

Is what I have done now truly unified the continent?

That question was asked over and over again.

Are you saying you will make it happen? Is this woman?

[ You mean you can do that? ]

[ Yes. I prophesy, at least before the emperor closes his eyes, we will see true continental unification. ]

There was no evidence, but I wanted to believe it.

All of her prophecies so far have been correct.

Before anyone knew it, the emperor was heavily dependent on the prophet.

[ Emperor, calm down and listen. A shocking prophecy came to me. ]

[ How shocking is that? ]

[ It is a prophecy that a disaster that we cannot prevent will soon appear and the world will perish. ]

[ What is that! ]

[ But rest assured. She said that the goddess would summon a hero from the other world to save the world. ]

[ Huh, huh. The goddess? ]

[ Yes. Goddesses love humans. ]

[I haven’t revealed it until now, but I’m a messenger of the goddess. ]

[ The prophecy is, maybe two years from now. ]

The emperor was afraid of longing, but the prophet’s words were true again this time.

A monster that no one could defeat appeared and quickly started turning the land of the Empire into a land of death.

I stopped the infested monsters there with an army, and I sent out one after another the heroes, but the only news was that they all became cold corpses.

Those who are said to be quite strong are dying in hundreds, so no one said they would stand up to disaster anymore.

At that time, a summons appeared in an auditorium in the imperial palace.

A summoning circle said to have been given by a goddess.

The Prophet was indeed a messenger of the goddess.

[ Emperor, the warrior has the right to freely give up everything and return. ]

[ Huh? Does that mean we can escape without saving our world! ]

[ So promise a huge reward and make her fall in love so that you have the purpose of protecting this world. ]

[ How much is the reward? ]

[ You must say that you will give half of the empire to the warrior. ]

[ No, half an empire isn’t too big! ]

[ Don’t worry. We are as free as the warriors are free. There is no obligation to keep promises. After the hero has saved the world, it’s enough to kill or drive him out. ]

[ Hey, can I paint the hero sent by the goddess? ]

[ No problem. The Goddess loves the humans who live in this world. It’s not like a chess piece called from the other world. ]

[ Ugh…… Got it. ]

[ It is better to use the people who assist the hero with moderate ability rather than the strong and beautiful women of the hero’s age. ]

[ Don’t do that. ]

[ Refuse all support from other races. Wouldn’t it be a great justification to subdue the different races only by saving the world with only human power? ]

[ And what if the hero fails to save the world? ]

[ Don’t worry. Warriors always win. I heard a voice from heaven. The Emperor just needs to listen to me. ]

I wondered if that was the case, but the prophet’s words were too sweet for the emperor.

A warrior is a being that can be used a lot and swelled up.

Justification for saving the world with only humans.

Even though it was damaged, if we were to work together to rebuild and solidify our solidarity, and if we wanted to get rid of the alien races that only hindered us like parasites from the continent.

There was no development as good as that.

‘Keep it off… ….’

It seems that his health has deteriorated a lot.

Seeing that just thinking about the past makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Now that she thinks about it, she seems to have been nothing more than the devil’s agent.

No, maybe she was a test of the goddess.

The Emperor deeply regretted his stupidity in walking towards his flames, simply trying to take the easy road.

But now, the spilled water has evaporated.

Although it was said that it was a flattery, wasn’t everything decided by one’s own will determined by one’s own greed?

‘There is only one way left…… I am the body that achieved continental unification. Is the king of the world It can’t be pulled down smoothly…….’

Even if the world perishes, I will die sitting firmly on the throne.

That was the emperor’s last pride.
