Volume 5 Chapter 1 Spark

”Damn it! Kent Blackdagger! I want to twist his neck right now!”
”Sir Gwain… please refrain from reckless actions. I have a good plan. We can weaken Kent Blackdagger’s power alongside the Black Dragon clan.”
Sven’s wrinkled face, hidden beneath a black robe, became even more crumpled as he spoke.
”Oh, you have such a good plan? Speak then.”
”Haha, it’s a war quest to subjugate the monsters in the southern region of the Black Dragon Dukedom.”
”Has Sven gone senile? That black serpent woman wouldn’t send troops to the southern region.”
”Sir Gwain, please listen to the end. There’s no need to get permission from the Black Dragon king. Reports from spies embedded in the Black Dragon Dukedom state that there is currently a division between the autonomy maintenance faction and the kingdom loyalist faction within the Dukedom. The autonomy maintenance faction is called the pro-king faction, while the kingdom loyalist faction has a leader known as Ugno, who is the younger brother of Fabulanova, and is called the Ugno faction.”
Sven revealed the inner workings of the Black Dragon Dukedom.
It seems the Dukedom is currently in the midst of a sibling quarrel.
No wonder that black serpent woman hasn’t shown up at the palace; it seems her feet were on fire.
”Oh, this is new to me. I had heard the Black Dragon clan was tightly bonded…”
”Yes, however, the younger brother Ugno has claimed for quite some time that he should actively push for the enhancement of the Black Dragon clan’s position in the kingdom. Fabulanova, using royal authority, silenced Ugno’s voices, but over a long reign, the constraints have loosened, and the Ugno faction has gained power. Currently, pro-king and Ugno factions are in a standoff.”
It seems that even the black serpent woman couldn’t be cold enough to kill her own brother.
Nevertheless, she remains a formidable woman who has ruled for nearly 8 hundred years…
”So, should I send the dispatch quest to the Ugno faction?”
”No, it’s about the Royalist faction. If we leak that we’re probing the Ugno faction for military support, they’ll likely mobilize to prevent the Ugno faction from establishing a fait accompli of cooperation with the kingdom. If we incite the Ugno faction to rebel against the weakened Royalist faction after they deploy…”
Even if it succeeds or fails, the Black Dragon Dukedom will be drained by internal strife… Quite an interesting scheme.
”But won’t that leave Kent unharmed?”
”We could order Kent to host the troops from the Black Dragon Dukedom, and during that gathering, we could whisper to the Dragonewts that Fabulanova’s daughter has been taken by the Lord of this land…”
The enraged Dragonewts would rampage in Estfort… This is also an intriguing plan.
”Do you think it can be done?”
”If I lack confidence, I won’t report it to Sir Gwain.”
From Sven’s confident demeanor, it seemed he had already made arrangements.
With this plan, even if it were executed and failed, it was unlikely to incur significant damage.
”Alright, do it!”
”Ha, I will execute it. Await good news.”
Sven silently dashed out of the office.
If this plan succeeds, Kent will be tied up for a while with the reconstruction of the town, and it is conceivable that Fabulanova could be ousted by his younger brother Ugno.
I had called for the Secretary.
”Hey, gather 50 thousand troops in the royal capital immediately. Depending on the situation, we may mobilize up to a hundred thousand. Convey this to the royal army.”
I decided to mobilize the military to support Ugno in ousting Fabulanova, and if Ugno takes action, we will gradually annex the Black Dragon Dukedom.
The united Black Dragon clan is fearsome, but if they are divided, we can overwhelm them with numbers.
If we consider the safety of His Majesty Shifa, the Black Dragon Dukedom is a nation that should be crushed.
I will assign Ugno the role of killing Fabulanova.
That way, we can also have a pretext to eliminate Ugno.
”Right now? I think we can mobilize about ten thousand immediately, but… 50 thousand…”
The secretary looked at me with a puzzled expression as I gave my orders.
”Enough with the talk! Hurry and inform the military! The reason is a comprehensive exercise! Got it!”
”Y-yes!”
The secretary rolled out of the office.
With this, I should no longer be troubled by the black snake woman and the perverted brat.
Ugno, a male of the Black Dragon clan, 821 years old, is the younger brother of Fabranoa and leads the kingdom’s loyal faction.
He is the younger brother of Fabulanova, the 821-year-old man of Ugno Black Dragonia, the Dragonia species, and leads the Kingdom’s subordinates.
