      AWDC Chapter 78 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 78: Working Towards Royal Recommendation Even as the Prime Minister of the provisional government, I didn't possess the right to decide the King. My role was merely to listen to the opinions of influential nobles and coordinate them. Every noble and influential figure was hesitant to decide who should be King. This was primarily due to concerns about the mental state of Prince Tamil, the sole strong candidate for the throne. The only ones strongly pushing for him were the late King…

      AWDC Chapter 77 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 77: Samuel And a major problem for the provisional government was that Waomou was still not captured. Since Waomou disappeared from the southern hills, his whereabouts were completely unknown, and the royal jewels, including the treasured sword, had not been found. Most of the executives of the Sapomero teachings were captured, and Waomou's whereabouts were investigated. At first, they denied the charges, but when subjected to torture, they confessed without hesitation. However, even…

      AWDC Chapter 76 Cover
      by Volare Even so, we have to somehow restore order to the country until a new king is decided. The Midland family, the Gregg family, and the Robertson family decided to join forces to restore security to the capital. I traveled back and forth between the capital and Toriholi Village, or between the Midland and Gregg families, and finally managed to launch a provisional government. Midland and Gregg both wanted to restore security to the capital as soon as possible, so there were no problems with the…

      AWDC Chapter 75 Cover
      by Volare ## Chapter 75: Post-War Processing A little over a year had passed since the death of King Michael, and the tyranny of the Bawa Roma believer, Waomou, had raged. The capital had finally regained its peace, but the post-war chaos continued. How to rebuild it was the most pressing issue. At the request of Lord Midland, I was to attend a reconstruction conference in the capital. The participants were only powerful nobles of the Flandre Kingdom, such as the two major ducal houses, five marquises,…

      AWDC Chapter 74 Cover
      by Volare ## Chapter 74: Hunting Down the Remnants Only the two dukes had brought their soldiers this far near the hills. The other nobles did not join this front. Gregg and Midland had two objectives in venturing so far from their territories, near the south. One, of course, was to capture Waomou and destroy the Bawa Roma Order. They were determined to never allow such a heresy to revive. This was also a secret agreement between Toma and the two dukes. If the Bawa Roma army attacked any of the three, the…

      AWDC Chapter 73 Cover
      by Volare "Don't run! Hold your ground!" Samuel desperately shouted, trying to rally the fleeing soldiers. But no matter how hoarse his voice became, no one answered his cries. Even if they didn't know what had happened up ahead, the loud noise was enough to shatter their will to fight. That shocking sound was the sound of demons possessing their allied soldiers. For those who were simple farmers with only naive faith, the mere thought of demons made their legs tremble. At the first explosion, they…

      AWDC Chapter 72 Cover
      by Volare ## Chapter 72: The Devastation of Battle With the advance trumpets blaring, explosives detonated at the feet of the leading soldiers of the Bawa Roma army as they began to run. A large hole had been blasted where the enemy general had been moments before, with limbs, hands, feet, and heads of men and horses scattered around it. The vanguard of the Bawa Roma army, not understanding what had happened, simply stopped in their tracks, stunned. What on earth was going on? Every soldier was…

      AWDC Chapter 71 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 71: Battle on the Shores of Lake Milona The narrowest point between the Mulan River and Lake Milona was no more than 500 meters. I had prepared three contraptions there. One was a fence with a unit of archers behind it. The bows were steel crossbows. I taught Ladapole the principles, showed him the general drawings of the crossbows, and had him make them. We had test-fired these repeatedly in the desert. With ordinary bows held by the enemy soldiers, the force would dissipate after 100…

      AWDC Chapter 70 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 70: Before the Decisive Battle As largely expected, the Bawa Roma religion's southward advance began. Both the Midland family in the east and the Gregg family in the west possessed formidable retinues. However, both dukes judged that they couldn't recklessly march on the capital, given the momentum of the Bawa Roma army. Nevertheless, both families had prepared enough forces to meet the Bawa Roma army if they entered their respective territories. "If they come to me, I'll crush those…

      AWDC Chapter 69 Cover
      by Volare Chapter 69: Southern Invasion The meeting with Duke Gregg gave me a different perspective. I had been belittling myself as a poor, rural noble, but others saw the Robertson family differently. Those with political savvy viewed the Robertson family as already having joined the ranks of the great nobles. Perhaps I was being too self-deprecating. Not being assertive when I should be would only attract unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I decided to proceed with Ricardo's engagement to Duke Gregg's youngest…
