I clenched my fists and made another mental pledge, then looked ahead with a slightly nervous expression. When spring came, the training camp was filled with trainee warriors from each tribe.
The intermediate warriors were quickly controlling the trainee warriors together with the beginner warriors under the direction of the 'Brave Wolf'.
And before we knew it, the middle of the training ground was filled with warriors who had aligned their ranks. As the mood set, the 'Brave Wolf' shouted loudly to the heads of each administrative agency and the delegates.
"The Emperor's coronation ceremony will now be held."
"······."
As the members who were sitting and the heads of each administrative organization stood up at the same time, the 'Brave Wolf' turned his head and looked at the place where the great sorcerers were.
"The chief shamans of each tribe, please come forward."
"yes."
There are a total of four tribes that joined the 'Sun of the Sky' alliance. The Lenape, Pequot, Nanticoke, and Quiri Phi tribes.
The chief shamans of each tribe stepped forward to perform a sacred ritual, each wearing a mask depicting a symbolic animal.
"Please also come forward, the great chieftain Lee Cheon-il, the son of God and warrior."
"······."
I nodded slightly, got up from my seat, and walked towards the great sorcerers. From then on, the great sorcerers began to dance and beat my body with sacred branches.
Although each tribe believed in slightly different gods, they continued to pray to the god who created them and he continued to bless me.
"······Thank you, Creator God, for sending us a son to lead us."
"······I pray to all the spirits of the world. May the Son of God lead us to peace and prosperity."
"······God of Thunder! Please unite all tribes under the 'Sun of the Sky.'"
"······As God sent us a son, please let us serve His Majesty the Emperor well."
As time passed, the dance of the great sorcerers became more intense. Expressing the spirits of the world with your whole body,
Tap the ground with both feet, He danced, gesturing with his hands and roaring with his mouth. I quietly accepted their blessings and waited for this sacred ceremony to end.
And soon after, the great sorcerers handed me a sacred pipe that they had carefully made by adding their spiritual powers, and shouted out loud in front of everyone.
"This person is now the great emperor who will lead the 'Sun of the Sky'!"
Waaa ... The people and warriors in the training ground shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor!"
"His Majesty the Emperor, the Son of God, will lead us."
Even though the word "Your Majesty" that I suggested might sound unfamiliar, the warriors and the people used it without hesitation.
The cheering continued for a while.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
"Your Majesty the Emperor!"
After a while, as I went up to the stage guided by the 'Brave Wolf', everyone in the training center looked at me with sparkling eyes.
He took out the speech he had been pondering for several days and began to slowly recite its contents in a commanding voice.
"······As the Emperor, I will do my best to practice the first article of the Great Law, which states that 'all tribes are equal under the Creator.' I swear to the Creator that no tribe will discriminate against us as long as they do not betray us. Now, with me as the Emperor at the center, I declare that the 'Sun of the Sky' Alliance is no longer an alliance, but one country."
Waaa ...
As soon as I finished my speech, cheers and exclamations erupted from all around. And then, as if they had been coordinating, the warriors in the training camp began to shout in unison with loud voices.
"God's grace!"
"God's healing!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, as the Son of God, show us miraculous healing."
At that moment, one of the delegates limped toward the podium on his right leg. I also naturally came down from the podium and laid the delegate down on his seat.
"······."
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet and everyone looked at me with eyes full of anticipation. With my eyes closed, I placed my hand on the delegate's leg and prayed to the Creator.
"······Creator! Please give me the strength to heal this weak soul."
'therapy!'
[Tiring!]
[All illnesses cured.]
My hands and the delegate's feet were instantly bathed in transparent light.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Warriors and people who saw the miraculous treatment for the first time exclaimed in surprise here and there.
"He is the Son of God!"
"The delegate walks on two feet!"
"how?"
A delegate who received treatment from me walked upright on both feet in front of everyone and shed tears of emotion.
"Your Majesty the Emperor! I thank you for bestowing me with divine grace."
"Please continue to serve this country according to God's will."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Even after the 'Miracle Cure' event was over, people were still speechless, exclaiming in awe and looking at me. But the event didn't end there.
At the signal of the 'Brave Wolf', the cavalry riding buffalo, waiting on one side of the training camp, made a spectacular appearance.
"What is that?"
"Why are the Royal Guard warriors riding buffaloes?"
"That wild buffalo is just sitting there."
"Does that make sense?"
For a moment, the room became noisy. At that moment, at the signal of the 'Honest Bear', twenty guardsmen rode buffaloes toward me.
"The guard will serve His Majesty the Emperor."
The 'Humble Bear' practiced so much that he spoke without hesitation this time.
Phew!
I nodded and walked towards the buffalo the cavalry brought.
Ummmmmm!
"Good."
As the buffalo, familiar to my hand, let out a pleasant roar, I lightly kicked the ground and climbed onto its back. As I pulled the reins attached to the saddle while keeping both feet on the stirrups, the buffalo slowly moved forward at my signal.
And after me came the 'Honest Bear' and twenty of his bodyguards, riding buffaloes, in formation.
Waaa ...
"The buffalo follows His Majesty the Emperor!"
"His Majesty the Emperor has tamed the buffalo!"
It was a series of exclamations and exclamations. It was an emperor's coronation ceremony that was not flashy, but had its own formality and included various events.
He led the buffalo cavalry that decorated the final stage and made a grand tour of the training grounds. And so the emperor's coronation ceremony ended.
[Tiring!]
[You have become the Emperor of the 'Sun of the Sky' Alliance.]
[Tiring!]
[Quest completed.]
[Tiring!]
[You have leveled up.]
At that moment, a welcome notification sound came into my head, making me feel better.
* * *
The 'very big' village council president. A day has passed since His Majesty the Emperor's coronation. The delegates were receiving reports from the heads of each administrative agency with bloodshot eyes and tired expressions, perhaps because they still had a hangover from the first drink they had at the banquet yesterday.
The head of the Treasury, 'Deep and Clear', reported on this year's finances and budget, which the delegates passed without any problems.
The Ministry of Construction's 'Lazy Beaver' decided to continue to build roads and develop the central villages of each administrative district, and the Ministry of Agriculture's 'Moon Rises' decided to continue to distribute wild rice and sweet potatoes to increase food.
The Ministry of Education's 'Wind and Cloud' has decided to continue focusing on education as it completes school construction.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' "Wide Land" said that it was checking the situation of the surrounding tribes and paying special attention to the war between the Iroquois Confederation and the Irie Tribe.
The Department of Defense's 'Brave Wolf' reported on the savage tribal war and was confident of victory.
The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, in place of the 'singing water' that had left the business, provided a great help to the finances of the Ministry of Finance by having the head of each business report in detail on its profits.
"···If there are no further questions, I will conclude my report."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"I listened to the story carefully."
As delegates applauded the outgoing Commerce, Industry and Energy Minister, the "Cool Wind" head of the Justice Department stepped forward to enact new laws one last time.
"It's been a while. We're running out of time, so let's get to the meeting quickly. Tribal issues, village issues, people's quarrels, etc. If there's anything that requires new laws, please feel free to tell me your opinion."
As soon as the speech was over, the delegates sitting in the conference room began to raise their hands one by one and express their opinions.
"···There are some villagers who want to settle in the central village. What should we do about this problem?"
"···My neighbors broke my farm equipment, so I would like to have the law make compensation a requirement."
"···There was a case where a young man in our village was seriously injured and could not enter the training center. So I would like to have an in-depth discussion about this matter."
Since then, various agenda items have been raised and new laws have been added as delegates discuss them late into the night.
I didn't leave my seat and continued to watch the scene from a neutral position.
'It's a very good phenomenon.'
It would take a few more years, but as things stood, the representative system seemed well-established.
* * *
A 'very large' town, a large farmland. After three days, the long, drawn-out National Assembly came to an end. Instead of returning to their respective villages, the delegates showed up at the large farm to welcome the warm spring days.
People from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry came forward and explained in detail how they make compost, which is found all over the large farmland.
"······Fallen leaves are fine, and the ashes from the fire are fine. And fish intestines that are thrown away without being eaten are also used to make compost. Okay! Just turn the compost over with a farm tool every two weeks. Got it?"
"······."
The delegates nodded their heads repeatedly with sparkling eyes. Since they had to return to their respective villages and teach the surrounding villages how to make compost, the delegates were all enthusiastic about the task.
And above all, the delegates had absolute faith in His Majesty the Emperor's advice to increase the fertility of the land.
At that moment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry distributed shovels, pitchforks, and hoes to each delegate.
"It smells quite bad. However, please turn it over well as it will increase the fertility of the soil. Now, go inside the hut and turn the compost."
Boom boom!
Delegates gathered in groups of three or four and began to turn over and over the compost in the large farmland.
"I can't breathe properly, it's driving me crazy."
"It smells really bad."
"Let's stop chatting and finish this quickly."
After a while, the delegates moved to another large farm and began spreading well-fermented compost.
"The more you sprinkle, the better it is not."
"Please spread it out evenly."
"Please pray that the crops planted here will bear much fruit."

Chairman, office. Although the grand events of the Emperor's coronation and the Great Council had passed without a hitch, there was still much work left for me to do.
I called in the heads of each administrative agency separately, received reports one by one, and gave instructions.
"······The trainees who have enlisted this time will undergo intensive training and education at two training centers to become brave beginner warriors."
I nodded and gave the 'brave wolf' a few more instructions.
"······After conquering the barbarian tribes, more trainee warriors will come, so it would be a good idea to prepare weapons and supplies in advance."
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
The 'brave wolf' stepped aside and this time the 'fast-footed deer', the head of the Intelligence and Inspection Service, entered the office and began to report.
"······I've received some news from the upper reaches of 'Water'. It seems there was a small problem with the Abnaki tribe. I've written down the details in the report."
I quickly read the report handed to me by the 'fast-footed deer'. After a while, I looked down at the names written on the savage tribe's report with an interested expression.
Wounded arrow.
"Because of this warrior, the cold tree is having a hard time conquering the savage tribe?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
I glanced over the report again and thought for a moment. Judging from the fact that he uses hit-and-run tactics, he seems to be a fairly capable warrior.
No, the fact that he was able to hold his own against our warriors armed with iron weapons and armor suggested that he might be a great talent on par with the great warrior.
"Tell the cold tree to capture him alive if possible."
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
* * *
Lower reaches of the Swan (Potomac River). 'Cold Tree' was waiting in ambush near a savage tribe village with a hundred warriors.
Just then, an owl's cry was heard from afar. The 'cold tree' muttered quietly, the corners of his mouth twitching.
"Now I've caught the tail."
