TYRANNY: HOW TO CREATE A WORLD The Legend of the Nine Stones
Albert followed closely behind William on his horse, reminiscing about the old days. Six or seven years ago, Albert had started reading fairy tale books to keep William interested.William's favorite book was called "The Legend of the Nine Stones". He was particularly fascinated by the story of Tianlong the Dragon and its rider, Yu Sheng. The story still played vividly in his mind whenever he remembered Yu Sheng's story.Yu Sheng, a princess born in the Great Xia in the East, was to be sacrificed to end the incessant rain that had been falling for eight months due to some foolish traditions. During the sacrifice ceremony, luck was on her side as all the water around her was transformed into a magical force that turned into a dragon to save Yu Sheng. Of course, this was only a brief summary, but the legend was built on it. Yu Sheng later gathered enough followers to conquer Great Xia with the power of the dragon. However, these events took place in the second book, and William didn't l

The only sounds were the faint crackling of torches and the shuffling of feet. The already dark interior seemed to grow darker as they descended. The group began to wonder if at some point the torchlight would no longer illuminate the cave.Despite their fear, anxiety, and even the feeling of full bladders, they continued on. As the minutes passed, more and more skeletons appeared, forming small mounds.From the mounds of skeletons, and after another three minutes of walking, they came upon their first fresh corpse. It was a corpse dressed like a mercenary, lying on the ground. He was wearing a green tunic, thin leather armor, and a pointed helmet. His chest had been slashed from top to bottom, and the blood still seemed freshly dried. An expression of disbelief was frozen on his face. Seeing this fresh corpse, Albert grabbed William's wrist.Whispering, he said, "We're going back." He wanted to leave this cursed place as soon as possible, without accepting any reasons. What made them

Matz and the others simply bowed their heads in sadness. They had known William since childhood. Most of them had gray hair on their heads, and the sad streaks in William's hair carried more sorrow than the sorrow on their faces at this moment.William was no longer just a prince to them. He was a brother, a friend, family. Over the years, Albert had added hundreds of new blood to their group, but none of them had the warm blood and sorrowful heart of William. None of them were religious, but they all prayed silently for William from the bottom of their hearts. Matz even gave him his word that he would protect William for the rest of his life. He would work harder and stay by William's side no matter how much William grew in strength.After taking a few steps forward, William approached the armored figure. "I wish to duel with you," he said, crossing his twin cavalry swords in front of him. He was a bit nervous and had begun to sweat. However, the cool air of the cave made his sweat c

The dam in Albert's eyes had already burst. In fact, the wild drops of water coming out of that dam were dripping on William's face as he lay on the ground. "Wake up William...please wake up. What would I do without you..."Matz also leaned over William and listened to his breathing. Like Albert, he tried not to cry. He shouted, showing his excited face to everyone, including Albert, with his trembling lips, as if he was going to cry at any moment. "He's alive!""Thank God." Albert closed himself to William's seemingly lifeless body and continued to give thanks.Matz was the calmest of all in this situation. Even Goar and Otto were constantly trying to vent their anger at their miserable situation by smashing things. Matz's words brought them to their senses."Hurry! Bring water, bring cloth!"Goar heard Matz's words, ran and immediately knelt down beside him. He took a leather flask from his pack and tore off the sleeves of his clothes for a cloth. Matz wasn't very good at first aid

"Loyal ones! Go to the other and wait." At William's command, the ten loyal ones behind the table obeyed his orders and slowly left the room. Albert and the others still couldn't believe what had happened, but since they weren't hurt, they were just worried."What is this? Where is this place? Who is the corpse you are bowing to?" Meanwhile, Albert looked to see if there were any notes left on the table, but all the papers were full of scribbled drawings. Apparently, they were all failed products."That corpse you see is the 'Devil' of the legends." William said calmly. At the same time, he pushed the body aside, cleared the chair, and sat down himself. "But as you can see, he has neither horns nor a body different from ours. He was just the previous owner of the Stone of Wisdom."William shook his head. It looked like a very meaningless gesture, for his face was expressionless. "All the information he has is in my head, and he's definitely not like the stories."William knew more abo

When they arrived in the city of Highrock, they were happy to see that nothing had changed. There had been no one in the city for a few days other than Matt, who could be considered a manager, but fortunately Matt had handled everything well.Matt heard a little about what had happened from Goar, and he immediately cleared the entrance and made a secluded path for the group. In particular, the Imperial Guard had gathered in the backyard under the pretense of a banquet, so there was no one on their way, and they came to the castle hall in a way that could be considered secretive.William examined the people around him in the hall. There was no one he didn't know, and after feeling relieved, he spoke, looking at the people waiting for his orders."If even one word gets out about this event, I will kill that person myself." After placing his hand on the hilt of his sword, he looked each of them in the eye, including Albert. Then, thinking that everyone understood, he continued to speak.

Three days later, major changes began to take place in the castle, and it was William who gave the orders for these changes. First, he received a military report from Matz.His grandfather's army consisted of very few men, one hundred and eighty men to be exact. What made these one hundred and eighty men important, even though they were few, was that they were all experienced soldiers. Many had fought in smaller wars before and then joined Albert. The remaining minority had gained their experience fighting bandits.Highrock's own army was nowhere near that number. Only 51 men. For years, Albert had underutilized the city's guards, allowing them a comfortable life. Now William gathered all the guards together and made sure that a total of two hundred and thirty-one received the same training. This training, which began with running every morning, was reinforced with various postures. Then, with the help of abundant meat meals and baths, the soldiers began to grow stronger and develop r

Maik, Lutz, and Rick from the Assassin team gathered their camp and started walking towards the city, all taking in the view of the city of Vlafport. The entrance to the city was filled with a constant stream of people and the streets were worn out.The city of Vlafport was very, very rich compared to the city of Highrock. The city's harbor was in constant trade with the East, and William was sure that just a few ships could make at least as much money as the city of Highrock.William and the others wore black robes to hide their faces. William especially had his long white hair tied back. Wherever you went in the world, you could not find anyone with white hair except the imperial family.Since William was a city lord, it was easy to arrange a pass so they could quickly enter Vlafport. It was filled with crowds of people like a scene from a fairy tale. People were running back and forth like bees, trying to do business and take money home for a bowl of food in the evening."Albert, st

Shock Treatment
If we go back a few minutes...Ernst got bored when he saw that everyone in the hall was getting drunk. He was sufficiently resistant to wine because he had been drinking the best wines since his youth. That's why, although everyone fell asleep involuntarily, only his cheeks were red. He got up and went to the balcony of the hall. There was no one there. It was as if they were organizing entertainment in the castle of an empty city. After a while, Ernst got bored of the view and noticed that two people were missing. 'Where are William and Erwin?' he thought. Though he had some unnecessary suspicions at first, he soon dispelled them. 'They must be discussing the war plan.'When Ernst entered the hall again, he saw that the bards were still playing tiredly. Of course, the bards were excited because it was their first time playing for a nobleman, especially the crown prince of the empire. That's why they played until their hands were bleeding.Ernst felt sorry for them. He used the last o

On The Balcony
It had been several hours since the banquet had begun. William greeted his brother, as he should at any banquet, and placed him in the head chair. Ernst had buried himself in the food after remarking that William's cooks were very good.William even let him taste a new wine. While tasting the wine, he even told him about how the wine was made and its characteristics."This is the first wine produced in our city. It's called 'Highrock' wine, big brother. Our farmers brought it to me and asked if I could support them, and I must admit I was surprised when I saw the way they did it. One of our gem mines opens into a very large cave, and inside the cave is an almost bottomless lake. These farmers soak the wine at the bottom of this lake, which is why it has such a smooth taste with such a cool and refreshing texture. What do you think, brother? How does it compare to the wines in the capital?" William eagerly awaited the answer to this question. This was his next business move. Wine was a

Some Choices Can Be Sad
For several minutes after William had left, Ernst stared into the tent door. He wasn't thinking about anything and didn't hear any of the discussion going on around him. However, when Erwin called out to him, he realized that there was an argument going on around him."Sir, your opinion is important. Please allow us to issue an order!" Erwin said with tears in his eyes. Most of the people around him didn't care what Erwin said. Most of them watched Erwin with amusement while taking a sip of their wine.Ernst lifted his head and looked around. Then he spoke softly. "Everybody out."Suddenly, everyone in the room ran for the door like a flock of chickens. Instead of having long meetings, it was more logical to go and have a more fun conversation with the commanders."Erwin, you stay." Erwin was surprised to hear his name called and turned around. When he saw Ernst nod, he made sure he was being called, turned back, and waited in front of Ernst for orders."Sit down." Ernst spoke. When h

Strangely enough, Ernst was nice to William on the way. It was just the two of them going to the camp. Ernst ordered his soldiers to rest and spend some time in the city. William regretted that his city did not have enough entertainment.Ernst did not realize how advanced the city of Highrock was because he did not examine it carefully. Almost all the people were happy, but he still thought he was in the old city of Highrock. That's why even the real smiles of the people seemed fake to him. He thought that William ruled the people with an iron fist. Besides, Baron Albert was always on William's side, and he was known for his stubbornness and iron blood.While walking to Ernst's tent in the camp, William saw the soldiers training, the equipment they used, and most importantly, the food they ate.In general, their meals consisted of porridge and soup made with lots of bones. William frowned. He could have sworn he hadn't seen a single smiling soldier all the way to Ernst's tent.While h

Meeting Again After A Long Time: Big Brother
On their way back to Highrock City, they encountered a big surprise. Goar himself ran and caught them on their way, and hurriedly, breathlessly, and tiredly, he delivered the alarming news."The Crown Prince has appeared at our door with his army!" That was all Goar said, and then he fainted. He rode non-stop for three days and probably would have lost his life if he had not reached William, just for this news.William ordered them to help Goar, and they set up a temporary camp. When Goar awoke, he had a chance to ask everything more clearly.Meanwhile, Goar, looking sadly at his almost dead horse, quickly answered all of William's questions.The crown prince had been trying to take the throne for a long time, and he soon realized that the task was not easy. He had to conquer a land, but he also had to annex that land to the empire forever.Since the number of armies was sufficient, although he won wars and conquered lands at first, he soon began to lose the lands he conquered.

As William had ordered, Albert arrived at the door of the man he had personally investigated earlier. It was an ordinary house with a garden. It had two floors, and the second floor was supported by wooden pillars. Although it looked magnificent from the outside, if you looked closely, all the wooden parts of the house were full of wear and tear and decay caused by many years.There were a few words written on the door in the imperial language, but most of the words were wrong. Albert easily understood what was meant. [Xia's Clinic][All kinds of fractures, dislocations, wounds, and bruises are treated here.]The name of the place and what it did were explained as best as possible, but judging from the grass at the entrance, it looked like it hadn't been visited in a long time. Albert shook his head and walked into the garden.He wondered why William wanted such eccentric people under his command. If he wanted to take the throne, all he had to do was gather the nobles of the realm unde
