The reincarnated god of war cuts down the empire
mana
The day dawned.
Surprisingly, despite all the chaos that had happened last night, Harun still had no intention of waking up.
“Wow.”
“… … .”
I even snore when I sleep.
Now it’s almost ridiculous.
Well, I understand.
First time practicing Mana.
Also, it takes a tremendous amount of mental energy just to understand advanced, high-level exercises.
“… … Rather, it’s time to show up.”
I glanced towards the tent entrance.
Originally, I thought additional people would come inside right after the chaos.
However, there were no more surprise attacks.
“First of all, I’ll do the bare minimum of preparation.”
“town! town!”
At that moment, the pig, who had stayed up all night, opened his eyes with dark circles.
This is because I immediately held an iron skewer to the back of his neck.
Flap!
At that moment, the henchman leader Ben-Hur comes inside, as if he had been waiting.
“… … “What are you doing now?”
“You broke your promise.”
I flinch.
Ben-Hur trembled slightly.
He also saw where my eyes were looking.
In one corner of the tent, corpses formed a small garden.
“Take it and bury it. “I feel like my rotting corpse will soon start shaking.”
“… … I get it.”
Surprisingly, Ben-Hur obeyed me obediently.
In case he went against my wishes, he moved all the corpses by himself without even asking his subordinates to do so.
And, finally, by the time the last body was removed.
“What kind of trick have you pulled?”
He finally seemed curious and asked me a question.
“I’m dying to know, what on earth am I doing?”
“… … .”
Ben-Hur, who was silent for a moment, soon lets out a long sigh.
“… … Damn you bastard. “It looks like there is a hidden trick.”
“Hey, damn henchman leader.”
“… … ?”
“Should I kill this pig like this?”
“… … !”
Unlike before, I actually put more force than usual on the hand holding the metal skewer.
“Ugh!”
The sharp end makes a ‘poof!’ It was digging in and blood was flowing out.
At the same time, the pig is making a fuss again.
“… … Then you will definitely get ripped off.”
“You were the one who turned the table first to make me fall, right?”
“It’s not just about getting lost. I will never kill you gracefully. As painfully as possible. We will cut off the flesh one by one, sprinkle salt on the wounds, and throw four pieces of flesh to be fed to the wild dogs. “You watch it and feel the pain of being soaked in salt.”
“Is that what you’re asking your master to do?”
I reached out and grabbed the dagger, the trophy I had acquired last night.
“Ugh!”
The pig throws its head like a thunderbolt.
That expression seemed to be scolding me, asking me why I was provoking him.
“stop!”
“So, bastards, why are you doing something you’ve never done before?”
Whoops!
First, the pig that was making a fuss was knocked out by beheading its neck.
Because I have important work to do from now on.
“You were the one who upset the board first, so you have to grant me one more request.”
“… … A bastard who won’t feel refreshed even if he chews… … .”
I immediately got the business out of the way.
“From now on, pile up all your hidden assets in the corner where the corpses were piled up earlier. “On your own, of course.”
“what?”
Ben-Hur suddenly lost his expression, as if he had never imagined such a request.
“I already checked with your master to see what was there. Don’t even think about lying. If even one is empty, your master will end up in the same situation you just described.”
“… … .”
Ben-Hur, who had been silent for a long time, soon smiled wryly.

“Do you really think we can get out of here with all our belongings? “Do you really think that’s possible?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“… … Ha, good. “Don’t do that.”
Ben-Hur muttered as if chewing and spitting out something, then turned around and left.
That guy must have another plan this time.
Watching that scene made me feel sad.
‘Not yet.’
I have regained the ability to wipe out the henchmen, but I have to endure a little longer.
At least until they bring the hidden wealth to me with their hands.
“What are you. What should I do with my money when I’m about to die? “Is this our old money on the way to the underworld?”
At that moment, Harun, who had suddenly woken up, whispered to me.
“Wipe the saliva off the corner of your mouth.”
“Huh. “Sweet.”
“And, didn’t I tell you? “I won’t die.”
Stop.
Harun stops moving in the same position he was wiping his saliva.
“really… … “Can we survive?”
“live. “Aren’t you and I trying so hard to survive?”
Of course, in my case, I live because I cannot die.
An idiot who couldn’t even protect his wife and lost his only child.
He’s a fool who deserves to die right now, but he has to do what he has to do.
If I die like this and go to the afterlife, I won’t even be welcomed by my family.
They will scold me even in the afterlife, asking why they came to us without being able to do anything.
“Now, let go of the doubt, ‘Can I survive?’”
“uh?”
“Whether living or learning something, willpower is ultimately important. Would you become a knight with such a weak mentality? “It’s absolutely impossible, so get rid of it right now.”
“… … !”
Only then did Harun seem to feel something, as he looked sleepy.
“S-sorry. “I will never doubt you again in the future.”
Soon, a determined light appeared in Harun’s eyes.
He’s still young.
Although he was talented, there were a lot of things I had to teach him from start to finish, including this mindset.
Separately, what I just said to this guy was also a promise I made to myself.
The will to never go back to his family until revenge is achieved.
What do I need most right now?
skill?
It’s definitely important.
However, in the end, you can’t achieve anything alone.
Isn’t this a war against one country?
So what more do you need?
It is none other than power.
What are the key conditions for building power?
It is ‘money’.
‘A small country in the periphery that no one cares about. That environment will help me in the future. ‘Isn’t it perfect to use it as a base without worrying about what others think?’
One of my few weaknesses was the fact that I had no experience making money on my own in my previous life.
All you had to do was send the loot obtained on the battlefield to the family, and the vassal in charge of finances would take care of it all.
Some were handed over to the imperial family, while others were treated diligently.
‘… … ‘The ability to make money was an amazing inspiration.’
Of course, when I spend all that hard-earned money all at once, I say, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m going to die, matriarch!’ Even though he was nagging at me until his ears were dry.
‘They must all be dead too, right?’
I sighed inwardly and looked ahead again.
“So, do you think the exercises you taught me are making some difference?”
“hmm. I’m doing as you told me, but I feel like I feel something warm in my abdomen, or maybe I don’t… … .”
“… … !”
For a moment, my eyes opened wide.
Of course, it is unlikely that the bowl has already been formed.
Even quite geniuses take three years just to make their first hole.
However, this ‘feeling’ can never be ignored.
For those geniuses, the time of mana awakening also varied depending on how quickly they received this feeling through the practice.
“Really?”
“huh. “Am I good at it?”
“… … .”
In that sense, this guy, Harun, was much more talented than I expected.
***
A week passed quickly.
Once we showed them what they had done, they kept their promise.
“It’s time to meet again soon.”
Before I knew it, there was a mountain of various treasures piled up in the corner of the tent.
Not only were there all kinds of jewels, but the gold alone amounted to hundreds.
One gold alone was enough to support a family of four for a year, so it was obvious even without looking at how serious these guys’ evil deeds were.
“Harun.”
“uh?”
Harun, who had just been sweating profusely inside the tent, looks at me while holding his sword.
What I taught this guy was a knight’s German swordsmanship and mana practice.
In the fallen kingdom located in the eastern part of the empire, there existed a place called the Counts of Aruntel.
The head of the place was one of the best swordsmen I’ve ever seen, one of the top three.
There is no strong force or change in striking and pressing the opponent’s sword.
There is only extreme speed.
Nevertheless, countless knights gave orders to the sword of the head of Aruntel.
There was another reason why I chose this one among many sword techniques.
Harun entered this world at the relatively late age of fourteen.
In comparison, most children of knightly families pick up a sword by the age of five at the latest.
‘The Aruntel family’s swordsmanship is not that difficult compared to others, so it is not difficult to learn.’
However, it required natural physical talent and several or dozens of times more effort than other sword techniques.
It was perfect for Harun, who started learning swordsmanship late in life.
Even if you only reach the 5-star level, most knights will not be your opponents.
“Keep one thing in mind. “Put two dots in the air and connect the dots.”
“Connect dot to dot?”
“okay. Ultimately, the core of Aruntel swordsmanship is to find the shortest straight path that exists in the world, reach the destination faster than anyone else, and take the enemy’s life. Mana practice also focuses on that.”
“huh! “I understand what you mean.”
“good. Now it’s the real deal.”
“huh! good! In practice… … !”
At that moment, Harun opened his eyes wide.
“wait for a sec. “Practical?”
Flap!
Just then, the henchmen come inside one after another.
“I’m telling you this in advance, but if a fight breaks out, I won’t be able to protect you. In the end, it means that you have to protect your body yourself.”
“Now, wait a minute. “It’s only been a week since I learned how to use a sword?”
I know.
How difficult is this?
But this guy has to do it.
Otherwise, Harun will die here today.
If he changes his name so vainly, this is also his fate.
On the contrary, if we overcome this crisis, this guy can grow much more than now.
‘It would have been nice if we had more time, but unfortunately we don’t have that kind of time.’
The pig definitely said that.
The training period is up to one week.
From then on, we were said to be sold as high-quality goods to a noble family.
If even knights come to meet you there, it will be quite difficult.
That’s why I asked for a week.
“Let’s fight. “It may be difficult in large numbers, but if you go one-on-one against those henchmen, you can easily win.”
“… … ?”
All the henchmen had already entered the room.
“What did you just say?”
“… … Foot.”
Soon the henchmen burst into laughter.
“Puhahahaha!”
“What is that bastard talking about?”
“So, that plaything beat us?”
I raised my cold eyes and looked at him.
“A few days ago, your colleagues treated you like that and all died by my hands.”
I flinch.
Only then did the henchmen silence their mouths.
“What the hell are you… … “What kind of trick have you done to our colleagues?”
“What a trick. “Because your skills are inferior to mine, you crossed the netherworld holding hands with your friends.”
“You crazy bastard. “You want us to believe that?”
“What if you don’t believe it? Are you going to try it yourself?”
“… … .”
Only then does a quiet silence settle down.
“You bastards, don’t let your guard down. “He’s not an ordinary kid.”
“… … “Yes, Captain.”
“and… … .”
Ben-Hur looked at me.
“Release the master as promised.”
“promise? “What promise?”
“what?”
“Didn’t you already break your promise?”
Ben-Hur’s face distorted viciously.
“So, I believe I granted your additional request?”
“That’s literally an additional requirement. Since we overturned the board, we have to make a new one. is not it?”
But surprisingly, Ben-Hur smiles wryly at my guts.
“I knew it would come out like that. Well, it doesn’t matter. “Because permission was given from above.”
“allow?”
“You guys! Talk now. In the worst case scenario, you give up!”
“… … !”
At that moment, I opened my eyes wide.
Even the pig who was watching opened his eyes to the size of a flower lantern.
Right then.
“Isn’t it over yet?”
“Are you here, Sir Thomas?”
A young man came inside with his brows narrowed.
“It’s him.”
“what. “You’re a kid!”
The face of the guy called Thomas was crumpled like a piece of paper.
“So, you called me just because of that bastard?”
“Well, since you’re being held hostage… … .”
“No matter what, you can’t handle that one thing, so you’re asking me for help? These bastards were worse than I thought, right? “I wonder who says they are trash!”
“S-sorry. We said we would try it too… … .”
“That’s it.”
After saying that, Thomas brings his mouth close to Ben-Hur’s ear and whispers.
“If that person over there was not a bastard but a legitimate blood relative of the head of the family, you would have died for sure. “It’s a shame because the head of the family said that he would deal with the troublesome problem at this time.”
“face… … doesn’t exist.”
“know? It would be a problem for the head of the family to act like a slave trader, but there is only one reason why you have remained silent until now. “Anyway, the child I gave away will only be scratched and crumbled if I leave it behind.”
“Yes, yes.”
“But this time is different. I heard you already received the advance payment? What if I lost my slave and complained to the head of the family that Count Arsene had taken money from me? “Will you be able to die gracefully even then?”
Grrrr.
Ben-Hur, who was shaking, quickly knelt down.
thud!
“If this goes well, I will double the separate payment to Sir Thomas. Also, I will take responsibility and save high-quality female slaves for the sake of the Lord as a top priority.”
“Hmm.”
Immediately after, Thomas let out an uncomfortable sigh.
“What on earth are you looking at me for? I am a knight. What payment? female? Like who these bastards are… … .”
“Fu, maintenance of dignity! Unlike the lower class like us, shouldn’t knights be paid to maintain their dignity? “We have no such thing as honor, but you are true knights who live and die for honor!”
Only then does Thomas nod his head, pretending not to win.
“Okay, so let’s get rid of that brat first. I hate people like that the most in the world. A gangster who engages in hostage taking, and a cowardly idiot who sells everything, including friends, when a battle arises. “You were saying something earlier to try to boost your friend’s morale, but those guys are just trash who always look for an opportunity to run away?”
Thomas clicked his tongue and immediately fixed his eyes on me.
“Hey, Ben-Hur. You too should know this. No man should do that. “The young guy is already hiding behind other people’s backs and only talking about it, and that shouldn’t be the case.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Be that as it may, the way I looked at him had already become serious for a long time.
For a while, I carefully studied the person who was teaching me as if he was giving a lecture.
I saw it a few times, but it was clear.
The feeling of momentum is clearly different from other guys.
“That guy named Thomas… … .”
It’s definitely true.
He is definitely a guy who knows how to use ‘mana’.
Sometimes there are writers who do not look like knights even though they are knights.
They are shells who have no skills at all, but have only acquired titles through money or family power.
One, his personality may be trash, but his skills are real.
then… … .
“… … “That’s fun.”
With a faint smile, I immediately took a big step forward.
