"Sir," Todd called out to Jackson who was busy dealing with loads of paperwork on his desk . "Huh? Oh! Is it already time?" Jackson pulled himself up from the chair . It was time for the first train to depart with carts full of coal . "Nngh… dammit . My bones ache . " "You should get a checkup at the hospital…" "Ah, no . It's nothing like that . " Jackson approached the window and opened it . Bright light flooded into the room as Jackson looked out at the broad street . It was the street that was connected to Khalodian's central plaza . It was so wide that it allowed thirty carriages side-by-side, but even that didn't seem like it was enough . 'To see this place so crowded…' The city that started so weak was now an empire that was unparalleled in power . All the merchants joined the Khalodian Empire for better profits that came from the free trade that the Empire provided . The empire also created roads that connected Khalodian to neighboring countries . The Khalodian Alliance created by these nations and nobles was now so strong that it spawned an Anti-Khalodian Clan . However, that wasn't enough slow their growth . 'It's good that we have an enemy . ' Jackson thought of what happened a while ago . -Leave them alone . - He had collected information about the forming of a new alliance; however, Emperor Joonbum ordered him to leave it be . It wasn't what Jackson originally had intended; he was hellbent on crushing the enemy completely so that they would never dare to stand against Khalodian again . 'I was a fool . That would've created a cycle of revenge . ' Under Joonbum's orders, there was no such thing . In fact, more people requested to be protected under Khalodian . The Anti-Khalodian Clan only taunted and tried to provoke the Khalodian Empire, but it united the people of the Empire to stand firm against the enemy . The Anti-Khalodian Clan also did not seem to truly intend to attack the empire . In fact, they asked for peace and sent their information willingly under the table . 'They even send their children to study abroad in our empire . ' It was what the nobles and royals of the other countries were currently doing . They sent their children over and admitted that they had no intention to oppose the empire . "Our new military law has been adjusted . It will bring in at least a hundred and fifty thousand female soldiers into our military . We will have our new female recruits fill in the roles of medics and other operational personnel . " "Didn't the generals and other officers oppose the idea?" "No . They have no opposing thoughts on the issue . " "I see . " "It is as you expected . Our territories are growing so quickly that we lack the manpower to properly protect our empire against monsters and bandits . " Besides, the weapons that Joonbum brought over allowed women to fight without any physical limitations . "But… Sir Jackson . Are you really going to gift guns as presents?" Jackson flinched . Todd looked upon Jackson's back and asked, "If we send out our secret weapon… it might pose a future threat . I ask that you have the emperor rethink the idea . " Jackson frowned, he had the same thoughts as well . However, Joonbum was confident about giving out their newly-created small rifles as presents . -It can't be a secret for too long . It's better we give out what we can create than to have our stuff leaked . They will definitely work on their own to recreate the things if we give it out, and sure it will speed up their progress, but it's under our careful watch . We will also let the whole world know that we are giving away our guns . It will make it harder for other countries to attack us with the weapon that we freely gave away . Besides, we are not going to stand still and do nothing while others develop their own weapons . - It was absurd . Nobles did not care about promises, nor did they care about other people's thoughts . However, Jackson now realized what Joonbum was focused on . "It's okay . These guns that we are giving out are simpler versions that require reloading each time they fire . Even if they try to do something with the weapons, we will always be a step ahead . " "Hmm . " Todd nodded . He understood what Jackson said, but he still had doubts . "Oh, Officer Todd . " "Y-your Highness!" Todd bowed deeply at the waist as Joonbum frowned . "It's okay, don't be so formal . Just call me Sir Joonbum like you always have . Don't make things so complicated . " "Yes, Your Highness… Uh, I will see to it . " Todd shook his head . Joonbum always insisted on such things, but it was difficult to comply . "Just consider it an order from the emperor . It's not like I let any other king or noble do that to me, and you guys are special . " Joonbum laughed . Like Todd, Joonbum allowed all the people he knew from his beginning days here to address him without formalities . Jackson looked upon Joonbum with respect . 'This man… is a blessing to Khalodian . No, to this world . '
