The kingdom of Granfram, which was supposed to only perish, came back to life. The battle with the Kingdom of Winheels is proceeding in an overwhelmingly dominant state of the Grand Fulham Kingdom.
However, this was a natural result, and when calm down and a force analysis was conducted, the advantage of the Grand Flam kingdom was clear.
The Winheel kingdom is superior only in troop numbers and territory. The commander and troops were of the highest quality by the Grand Knight Knight Corps. Commanders in particular are overwhelming not only in quality but also in numbers. Originally, he had enough commanders to command more than 100,000 troops. Not all of them remained in the Grand Flam Kingdom, but they were too luxurious to lead 20,000 troops. The commander of the Knight Corps, which was the top of the 100,000 Kingdom Knights, is now commanding 10,000 troops.
This is not the only advantage of the Grand Flam Kingdom in terms of strength. In the war, the royal army of Winheels was overwhelmed by magic that was not a very effective weapon. The kingdom of Winheel is inferior to the kingdom of Granfram.
The prominent magical powers on the Grand Flam Kingdom side are King Grand Fulham and Prince Arnold. Not only Aeriel, but also Prince Alex of the Kingdom of Ox and Prince Harry of the Kingdom of Hashiu will join. Magic is affected by pedigree. Royalty is the most magical of all nations.
On the other hand, the Winheel kingdom. In the first place, there is no direct lineage of Winheal Hou. Elwin is full of talent, but he has limitations and has failed to push for it. He intends to make an effort, but Elwin's is far from Lion, Aeriel, and Vincent.
It is unfortunate for Elwin. If Elwin had been working with Vincent as a child, he would have known the limitations of his talent and had no extra confidence or the ambitions it created.
However, Elwin was moved away from his wife, was raised to overprotection without allowing his mother to leave, and had no chance to know his ability. Even in the trial ceremony, amplification using magic tools, that is, injustice was charged, and it has been evaluated more than ability. This is another truth Elwin was not aware of.
The kingdom of Winheal, who had invaded it anyway, was pushed back, and consequently attacked into its own territory.
But that is not the only misfortune in the Winheel kingdom. At last the afraid situation happened.
At first there were about ten. Abandoned houses, abandoned their status, and came to win from the kingdom of Winheel to the kingdom of Granfram, or rather to Eriel. When they knew that Aeriel had accepted them and the kingdom of Granfram had said nothing, ten became dozens, and finally the aristocracy turned over.
The Winheels Kingdom is no longer fighting. You will be overtaken by your ally. Nevertheless, the flow once completed does not stop.
Eventually even the dominant number lost the Winheel kingdom and no longer had the power to compete with the Grand Fulham kingdom. The rest just waits to be destroyed.
If you are driven so far, you can abandon everything Elwin, confidence and appearance. You have chosen the only way to save your country.
"Sorry. Is it over?"
Lancelot coldly protested from above the throne, to Elwyn's knees hanging down on the floor.
"Humbly, reinforcements from your country"
No matter what Lancelot tells you, you won't be able to rebel against the current Elwin. If you don't want to destroy the Winheels kingdom, you have to rely on the Great Alexandros Empire.
"I don't want to be called reinforcements. I wanted at least a little more."
In fact, Lancelot is now troubled by begging for reinforcements. The fight against the Kingdom of Fatilas is dominant but has yet to be resolved. And once Fatilas is over, the next goal is the Kingdom of Merica. A fight against an even stronger opponent than Fatilas is waiting.
"But if the kingdom of Grand Flam regains its power, it will be dangerous for your country."
"I want it. To be honest, I'm not bothered by the fact that the Kingdom of Winheels becomes the Kingdom of Grand Flam."
"……What's that?"
Erwin is so bad that he doesn't think he has any more to protect his country. If you don't mind Lancelot, you don't have to endure this humiliation.
"Once again, my competitor is Arnold. I'll make my own decision with Arnold."
Prince Arnold was a rival to Lancelot. And at least I think Lancelot is still a rival. Indeed, as he pursued the height of the emperor, he finally began to think so.
You don't have to ask Prince Arnold anymore. I can really go crushing. Lancelot was pleased with it.
"So, let's go for that."
Elwin may choose to have the Great Alexandros Kingdom slay the Grand Flam Kingdom. If even the Winheel kingdom can survive and you can be king.
"That's why I can't do it now, at least after the fight against the Kingdom of Fatiras."
"When is it?"
"... how much?"
Lancelot turned his inquiry to his minions, who were close by.
"The capture is going well, but it will take at least two more months. When I return to the army and become the Winheels kingdom ... Reinforcement is three months early, but maybe four months later?"
"It seems"
"Four months ..."
It's much faster than I thought. The capture of the Great Alexandros Kingdom of Fatiras is really going well. But for four months, the kingdom of the Winheels is quite subtle.
The more losing, the more the aristocracy will break away. In that case, the collapse of the Winheel kingdom will be further accelerated.
"Is it impossible for four months? Arnold is also working hard."
"I'm working hard on Eriel and Bandou."
"What did you say?"
Lynthlot responded to Erwin's words. It's a distinctly different response from the laid back attitude.
"Our struggle is because there have been so many departures, as long as they are not compassionate as kings, but they are working with their father, former Marquis of Winheal, as a hostage, acting like a hostage."
Elwin continues to explain with a lie, trying to further stimulate Lancelot.
"... Is that the former nobleman's dependent noble flowing to Eriel?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Really……"
Prince Arnold's power is good, but the power of Eriel cannot be forgiven. This is Lancelot's sentiment, Elwin determined. I feel that the reinforcements who gave up have seen the light.
"I think the ministry is severely cut and honest, I don't think I will keep it for four months."
"... I can't do it. I can't get reinforcements."
"Now !?"
The words of Lancelot. Elwin's shock was intense as expectations increased.
"If Eriel had gained strength, she would definitely say she would defend himself."
"……why?"
"I don't know why, but it just doesn't seem to be forgiving."
To Maria, Aeriel is a villain and stepladder. The Airiel is spoken among the people as if it were a heroine, and is captured by the castle after Rion's death, and cannot be allowed to stay with Prince Arnold.
It's a bit complicated feeling with game settings, but the point is jealousy.
"Where is that Maria now?"
"You must be at the forefront of fighting the kingdom of Fathiras.
"Such ..."
For Elwin, it was a sentence of death sentence.
"There is only one way"
"what is that!?"
"Give the Winheel Kingdom"
"……what?"
"If the territory of the Kingdom of Winheels becomes the Empire of Great Alexandros, it's not a reinforcement but a troop dispatch to defend itself.
I do not know what is different from being destroyed by the Grand Flam Kingdom. After all, Lancelot has no intention of saving the Winheel Kingdom.
A country that will be destroyed later if you save here. The Kingdom of Winheels is such a country for the Great Alexandros Empire.
"I see. I relied on the Great Alexandros and so on.
"Yes, if you have time to rely on others, do it yourself."
"Oh, let me do that."
Elwin, who abandoned his pride and clinched to the Great Alexandros Empire for Lancelot, had no hope. The Winheels Kingdom will continue to fight the Grand Flam Kingdom alone as before. There's no win.
◇◇◇
The Kingdom of Great Alexandros has refused to reinforce, and that is no longer the end of the Winheel kingdom. Elwin seems determined to be on the contrary, and is preparing for the fight aggressively as soon as the end is over.
Just as King Elwin alone is struggling with solitude, the other ministers are more desperate than the state. Most of those who have taken over Elwin's Marquis, led by Prime Minister Lang Ustein, and moved on to founding the kingdom, have acted for their own ambitions. There is no such thing as feeling to marry in the Winheel kingdom.
"Do you want to subjugate Japan?"
King Granfram is puzzled by the words of messengers from the Kingdom of Winheel. As a messenger in this situation, he anticipated a ceasefire negotiation or something, but he did not expect that he would suddenly offer an obedience.
"Yes. It is clear that Japan has lost in this dispute. I think it's the right way to follow the winner because I've lost.
Despite admitting the loss, it sounds somewhat selfish. In fact. The messenger has nothing to say except to obey. I was just abandoned by the Great Alexandros Empire, so I just switched to the Grand Flam Kingdom.
"... What do you mean by your servant? I want to know a little more."
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Granfram broke in and questioned the messenger of the Kingdom of Winheel. He thought that the situation was not until the king negotiated directly.
"I would like to hear your country's requirements and enter into negotiations on the terms of the subject."
It sounds like he is trying to hide his own hand, but Prime Minister Saed decided that it wasn't.
"Even if I say suddenly, what comes to my mind is King Elwin's head, payment of reparation, and after that if it is the subject of subjugation, would it be an annual tribute?"
"... I see. Are you sure you want to receive all the requirements of your country?"
"Oh, another. I will take the rank from all the nobles of the Winheel kingdom."
"that is……"
The messenger, who responded calmly to Erwin's life, was upset by the removal of the title. In the appearance of this messenger, Prime Minister Seid was convinced. This messenger is not a formal messenger. At least it has not been the king's intention.
"To be clear, the terms we just talked about are not formal, because they just stated what we came up with here."
"Oh, was that so?"
The expression of relief is shown in the words of Prime Minister Sade. I don't think it's good quality as a messenger. A dull messenger wants the Grand Flam kingdom, but the question is whether it's worthy of negotiations.
"We have no idea if we can proceed with the negotiations without a little more concrete content. How will your country proceed in the future?"
"If your country is willing to proceed with the negotiations, we would like to send another negotiating team with more details."
It was an unexpected response. If this is the case, the scale is unknown, but it is adjusted to send out the negotiating team.
"... I think I will be participating in the negotiations, but of course yours?"
With some thought, Prime Minister Seid asked about the negotiating team participants. Ambiguous listening is tricky. The only way to match the governor of the Grand Flam Kingdom is to send the top tier. This gives you some idea of who is behind the messenger.
"That's right ... the Prime Minister of Japan believes that negotiations have been solidified to some extent."
The messenger's answer is not enough. Sade has decided to shake the messenger a bit.
"Is it true that your country's prime minister is against negotiations? Negotiations will not be completed."
"Ah, no, not ..."
"So what is the reason? Not being able to go to negotiations without any reason is to say that Japan is being neglected."
When the opponent showed upset, Mr. Saed pushed harder.
"... I'm looking for a guarantee of my personal safety. If I can promise this,"
The messengers were not the ones who were left to diplomacy, even during war negotiations. No wonder. The governor and former ex-grandfather of the Grande Flam are different subordinates of the Hou family and have different abilities and experiences. Not only in this case, but the kingdom of Winheel is overwhelmingly short of human resources to fight against the kingdom of Granfram.
"Personal security ... it's natural if we're negotiating. Let's promise."
"Thank you. But ... can that be promised to Eriel as well?"
"Aeriel?"
It is unknown to Prime Minister Seid why Airiel was named here. He turned his eyes lightly on King Granfram's gaze and ended. The same goes for Prince Arnold.
There is no way to answer Ariel's promises on his own. Earlier, Mr. Saed worried why he would seek Eriel's promise. It can be understood that it is the situation inside the House of Winheels. But then, it seems normal to ask for permission from the ex-marquis.
Eventually, Prime Minister Seid decided to end the event, as it would only be apparent if he heard it.
"... I understand. I'll answer this after confirming it. Is it OK to say the rest of the story?"
"Yes, of course"
◇◇◇
Soon afterwards, Aeriel was called to the tent of the Honjin after the messenger lifted it. Of course, Eriel's expression is so sullen that there is no more.
"A messenger from the kingdom of Winheels has arrived, who has sought security assurance for Prime Minister Lang during the talks."
In spite of Airiel's dissatisfied appeal, Prime Minister Seid began talking.
"What's the relationship between that and what I was called?"
"Listen to the end. It's only natural that you're in negotiations. You've accepted, but the messenger says you need your promise."
"... Huh?"
After a short pause, Eriel shouts. He couldn't immediately understand what he was saying. That's right. It is strange that the name of Airiel appears in the negotiations between countries.
"Do you know the presidency of the Winheels, Lang Ustein?"
"Yes. He was the lead of the subordinate aristocrat of the Winheels House. I've met several times."
And he is the one who never wants to meet again.
"Yes. Do you have any idea why he wants this?"
"I have to say whether it is or not"
There are plenty of places for Prime Minister Lang to sway behind Eriel. However, she is squeezed when Eriel becomes murderous. The heaviest of these is the secret of Elwin's birth.
Elwin's presence afflicted Vincent. Vincent was harassed out of sight to make Erwin the successor to the House of Lords. He pulled Vincent away from Rion, and as a result Vincent was killed.
Not everything is the work of Elwin and his father, Prime Minister Lang, but it is true that they were actively involved.
"... What is it?"
"Erwin is not a father's son. His father is Prime Minister Lang."
"" "Now !?" "
Without any hesitation, Aeriel spoke Elwin's secrets. What surprised me was the people here. If this becomes evident before the division of the Grand Flam Kingdom, it will become a major problem. Things are not just a matter of the House of House, if it is fraud in the succession of the Marquis.
"... Is there evidence?"
Here Frederick the Guard Knight opened his mouth. There is a bitter smile on his face.
"I'm not there."
"So how did you know?"
"Rion heard the conversation of Wal, who was Lang's and Elwin's servant. By the way, Wal is also Lang's son."
"Is it Lion again? That's why you knew it?"
"I'm in school."
A large sigh leaks from the surroundings. I knew that Rion was involved, but I didn't think I had obtained that much information during my school days. It also kept this fact hidden.
Until then, it seems like Leon, but it's not good information to hide.
"Why didn't you talk about it?"
"If you don't have the proof, it doesn't make sense to talk, or can you be guilty of it without it?"
There is no one here who does not understand the meaning of Aeriel's words. Everyone was informed. Aeriel has not yet forgiven Vincent and himself.
"If Lang appears in negotiations, I'll return to Kamark. I don't want to see the face of a man who betrayed his loyalty as the lead of the dependent aristocrat and betrayed his father behind it. I don't think I'll be safe without me. ''
In the words of Eriel, as well as Frederick Knights Commander, Prime Minister Seid turned his eyes to King Granfram. The then-directed King Grandefram also looks at Commander Marcus.
Airiel is a valuable force. King Granfram was not able to decide whether to return to Kamark.
As a result, the commander Marcus Knights nodded back with some trouble. It has already overwhelmed the Winheels kingdom in numbers. He has no fear of losing anymore.
-A few days after this day, Eriel went to Kamark. At the same time, the Ox and Hashiu kingdoms retreat and return home. Once the war is settled, it is in response to requests from both countries to return. The Grand Fulham kingdom can't push it. I decided to accept it.
