Chapter 62

After Kamui collapsed.

"Tsk tsk."

Kairos, holding a club, clicked his tongue at Auto.

"What an incompetent fool."

"What the hell?"

Auto glared.

"Why am I incompetent?"

"If not incompetence, what else would you call it when you can't even control your subordinate properly?"

Kairos sneered at Auto.

"You can't even make your subordinate follow you willingly, and instead you knock them out and drag them along. Tsk tsk tsk."

"Hey, you!"

Auto burst into anger.

"Is he the type to obediently listen? No matter how nicely I talk to him, he doesn't listen. What do you want me to do?"

"That's because you're incompetent."

Kairos snickered.

"In the old days, when I said a word, my subordinates would drop dead. Many of them would even try to die when I told them to. Haha!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes! My word was the law and the truth!"

"Sure, sure."

"What?"

Kairos's eyes flared with anger at Auto's sarcasm.

"Well, you were a cult leader, after all."

"Cult... leader?"

"You, in your later years, went crazy and tried to become the pope by starting a new cult…."

Auto's words revealed Kairos's past—whether true or not.

Kairos was originally a monk from a certain cult and was quite a religious figure.

"Shut up!"

Kairos shouted in anger.

"How dare you compare me to a cult leader! I was only trying to reform the cult!"

"Yeah, and you failed."

"…!"

"You, the one whose word could make subordinates drop dead, got betrayed by your sworn brother, didn't you?"

"Y-You…!!!"

"Such a competent guy, so competent…"

Kairos was quite agitated by Auto's words but couldn't say anything, like a mute who had eaten honey.

Auto's words were mostly true, making it impossible to refute.

"Go pack your things. Tie him up well on the saddle."

Auto pointed at the unconscious Kamui and ordered Kairos, then started packing again.

To find the artifact known as the <Book of Harmony>.

* * *

<Feudal War> was a strategy simulation game where players became the ruler of a faction and managed their territory while fighting against other factions.

However, it couldn't be simply defined as a strategy simulation game because it also had strong RPG elements.

Players in <Feudal War> could develop the ruler character they chose.

Additionally, they could enhance their character's stats using various items.

That wasn't all.

Players could also bestow various effects on their faction through special items called <Artifacts>.

For example, the 4-star (★★★★) artifact <Totem of the Bountiful Year> could increase the food production of a specific region by a staggering 200%.

The 3-star (★★★) artifact <First Umbrella> could make it rain in a specific region.

These artifact items could grant various effects to the player's faction, making them extremely valuable and useful.

In particular, certain artifacts contained powers that were almost miraculous.

A prime example was the <Book of Harmony> that Auto was going to find this time.

The 5-star artifact <Book of Harmony> had the following effects:

[Book of Harmony]
