Another Life

The day after the meeting with Lakes, Pandora and Night's chairman were in the lobby of Central Castle.

"Well, Mr. Speaker, we're on schedule."

Knight nodded with a slightly nervous face to the nearest word on his left.

The three were now thinking about each other's roles for a meeting with the Kingdom of Bohemia. Left proximity is a high-pressure role, and night is a role to calmly negotiate while forgiving left proximity. Pandora was a small speaker and an important speaker.

And the kingdom of Visur believed that if it were to merge into the Eastern Union as it was, it would surely suffer from its nationalities, and the southern islands would be used as naval bases, so the mainland of the kingdom of Visur would be ceded to the kingdom of Bohemia.

And if we were to get the kingdom of Visur, we decided to get the kingdom of Reston, its neighbor, and connect the railway to the kingdom of God and magic.

Something like that happened, and I said to Night, who was a little pleased, that he sucked on the smoke tube near his left and slapped his back.

"Don't be so upset. Let's go cool."

"Hah, hah..."

That said, Pandora stunned to a knight with a faint face somewhere.

"Mr. Speaker, your father is at ease because he negotiates normally under high pressure. Mr. Speaker, you can negotiate as usual in Congress."

Somewhere Pandora helped Night, once he took a deep breath, renewed his determination, followed by the gate near the left.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Welcome, Master.

It was Kurt, the King of the Kingdom of Torres, who welcomed the closest left-hand men from the same interior building as the gate of the Eastern Union in order to facilitate the movement.

When a smiling cart arrives inside the aligned soldier, the nearest left grips the cart's hand and answers with a smile.

"Am I late?

"No, everyone in the Kingdom of Bohemia has just arrived. Your wife, Evelina, is dealing with you.

Instead, I asked His Majesty Albrecht. Everything, the sub-states have just formed an alliance and invaded the Kingdom of Cesel, and the countries of the south have also attacked... was it okay?

Al knows that leaking information to Kurt was a victory. However, given the speed of this information, it would be better to assume that the Kingdom of Bohemia has communicators like the Allied forces.

Though I thought so, I answered Kurt with a smile.

"It's okay. All have been defeated, and the kingdom of Enburg to the south has been destroyed.

After that, destroy the Principality of Antonam and become a confederation. If we clear the south, we'll have the power to the west, and it'll be over in a few years. "

"Stream stone is my master. The Eastern Union still has a strong fight."

Guided by Kurt, who said so with a smile, he noticed that there were many soldiers in the vicinity.

"Hey, aren't there more soldiers?

"You've been well noticed. The kingdom of Torreso has begun to increase its strength by incorporating the opinions of Count Zabala."

The Vicomte. Well, I'm glad the Vicomte was the most decent, but I'm sure the other nobles were quite convinced.

Shocked by Kurt's story, Kurt asks with a smile.

"Was it an accident?

"Well, honestly. I've seen how difficult it is for the nobles to convince me."

"There was an incident in the neighboring kingdom of Bitar before. Since the incident on the boulder, the opposite has been publicly claimed to be known to the Kingdom of Bitar.

However, even if I were to increase my strength, there would be 2,000 Knights in the Standing Army. After that, they will be conscripts for the people... but even with the increase in their strength, they are overwhelmingly underequipped and inexperienced, especially at the expense of equipment, which is still unsatisfactory. "

"Well, I guess so. Let's tell the Bureau if the Allies can spin the gear cheaply."

"Thank you very much. Besides, I also asked His Majesty Albrecht, would you please enlist a few other nobles to experience the battlefield?

I see. Do you want me to participate as an observer and experience anything? But if you learn two kinds of tactics, you'll be confused by the fact that there are factions in the country.

I agree with Kurt when I think about it.

"That's good, but in the Eastern Union and the Kingdom of Bohemia, there are different military laws and different ways to fight, and if you learn from one of them, it will cause extra confusion, and if you fail, you will form a faction, and there will be conflict in the army.

If that's what you're saying, break up with the army and the Knights. "

Kurt nodded many times as to whether he had any thoughts about the recent point.

"You're right, Master. After the meeting, may I formally request a little from both countries?

Well, as far as the Eastern Union is concerned, it depends on the negotiations.

That's true, too.

A large roundtable was placed in the middle of a large room at the front of the cart, which opened the door to the newly built conference hall, and the surrounding walls were narrowly marked with a pure white drawstring depicting the emblem of the kingdom of Torreso or the emblem of Lily.

And at the round table sat Eberina, and before that, three men sat, Al, Koming, and Lilith.

I see, the three countries are equal.

When Left Jin thought so, Al stood up and smiled and said to Left Jin and the others.

"It's been a long time. Your Majesty Sakura. First of all, I would like to pay tribute to you for your victory in the Kingdom of Cesel... and thank you for ordering us to stop attacking the intelligence services."

The transmission of information is too fast... Well, I'm pretty sure there's a comms guy. Well, I know how to communicate with you using precious stories, so if Al says he's a good fighter, would it be natural to introduce him?

Though I thought so, I answered with a smile.

"Well, that's a natural result. Besides, I'm sorry I attacked you."

"Don't worry about it. Because you pulled your hand, there were no casualties, and it was during the war, so I take it for granted to attack."

There are no casualties... which means I killed all the Shinobi here. Genzo's insistence on attacking the intelligence forces of the Bohemian kingdom was pride of monkeys.

"That's good. So, is it okay to say that this is going to go to the water?

"Yes, of course. Nevertheless, Chancellor Night took it for granted, but I didn't expect the Princess to come."

When Pandora reacted to Al's words with a smile, Evelina, who read the air, clapped her hands and said.

"Well, that's enough of your greetings. First of all, please take your seats."

And it came to pass, when Evelina had said unto them, when they had sat in the appointed seat, fruit wine was brought forth before their eyes, and Kurt drank a sip of fruit wine, and said,

"First of all, I would like to thank both countries for honouring the covenant and for coming with three people. As soon as possible, the Kingdom of Bohemia has been asked to meet with the Eastern Union this time, would you please tell us the details?

Al nods at Kurt's words and explains quietly.

"As I mentioned earlier, I would like to commend the victory of the Eastern Union as King of the Kingdom of Bohemia. However, the Alliance of Subhumans who invaded the Kingdom of Cesel… In fact, the kingdom of Visur, which is at its core, has declared war on our country."

So we're going to attack the Sub Union? After we've confirmed our victory, we'll be able to attack a thief as fiercely as possible. "

Kurt and Evelina are surprised at the way they are apparently selling their fights, and Ko Ming answers with a face saying, "Is that so?"

"Well, I know what His Majesty Sakura has to say, but even so, if we don't end the battle against the Kingdom of Bitter to some extent, we won't be able to send troops to the Asian Federation. Besides, I thought that if His Majesty Sakura was a good fighter, he would come on board with our proposal... after all, was he a fool who had just gone unreadable?

"Hmm, Cora...."

That's how Knight notices the proximity to his left.

"His Majesty Sakura, there are circumstances for them too. Besides, if we fight here, we won't go any further."

"...... Shit!

Near and left he turned his tongue and turned away, and Night smiled and said to Al.

"First of all, I apologize to His Majesty Sakura for his rudeness."

"... no, I'm sorry that this is the Duke of my country who said that he incited His Majesty. This time, it's about each other."

"Yes, please. So, as for the kingdom of Bohemia, you're going to attack the Sub Union?

"Yes, we have already assembled 30,000 advance troops at the border.

However, if both factions of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Eastern Union continue to attack the Alliance without any arrangement, the worst could be a triple muddy war. I don't think that's what both factions want.

"I agree with that idea. I agree, but won't you say it's for free?

"Yes, of course. They also bleed out the General's blood, so I'm not going to work for free.

So, how about deciding a country as a territory in advance, and the faction as a territory attacking that country? Of course, when they want reinforcements and supplies, they can settle it with money. "

After all, were you able to propose a territorial division? But is Al's goal really just the ocean... something else seems to exist.

Though I thought so, Left Jin answered with a moody attitude.

"Sure, it's a simple proposition, but if they sell the fights and withdraw for free, the others won't like it, so I reject the conversation."

Al answered with a glaring look.

"... Your Majesty Sakura, there is definitely a problem with your men, but there is also a problem with your men. Besides, there must be a problem with the war money.

Our battle is expensive… no matter how much the Eastern Union is a community of eight nations, it would not be foolish if the Southern Union were a sub-Union opponent.

If we just attack the Sub Union, we'll be cut back a little. I don't know about your kingdom of Cesel, but I think it would be very helpful from the remaining seven countries. "

"What? This is more than a matter of war money....."

Sakura, I'm here.

Did you accept Night's words to stop the proximity to the left by saying that? Then Night answers by looking at the proximity to the left sitting quietly.

"No, His Majesty Sakura was a little distracted by the continuation of the coalition battle... but more than that, as for the Eastern Union, I would like to take the story. Therefore, we would like to connect the territory to the Gardo God Magic Land.

So I would like to see the territory of Dwalbuff, Visur, and the Kingdom of Reston along the sea. Can the two northern countries be the Kingdom of Bohemia?

Al questions the Night's words with a slightly strange face.

"Speaking of the sea, is the kingdom of Veltran okay?

"There is no need for the Kingdom of Veltran to join the Eastern Union once Princess Noah has taken refuge in the Eastern Union and has regained her territory."

"So, in five countries... I thought we could split things up just in half..."

That's what Al was worried about, but Ko Ming suggested.

"Isn't that good? The Eastern Union will also have a painful war expense, so if we accept the Sub Union,

The Eastern Union is the kingdom of Veltran, and the rest is the kingdom of Bohemia?

"Hey, Dormitory. What were you listening to? We're going to get at least a coastal country."

"Yes, but there's something else going on here."

That said, when the quarrel between Left and Near and Komyo intensified, Kurt, who thought it was bad, smiled and said that he would clap his hands and stop the quarrel between the two.

"Looks like they're getting a little hot for each other. Why don't we cool down a little and try a new partition?

There is also a break room here, so let's break up with the countries and sort out some thoughts. "

"Indeed, Your Majesty Kurt is right. As for the Eastern Union, there's no problem."

"You can be the kingdom of Bohemia."

When Al and Knight stood up, Kurt and Evelina led them to a separate room.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

"Master, why are you arguing?!

Kurt guides the proximity to the left and enters the separate room, roughening his voice and paying attention to the proximity to the left, but the proximity to the left is flat. The cart focused on the proximity of the left, and the proximity of the left snorted the smoke tube and asked the night, forgiving the cart.

"Well, don't be angry. This was on schedule, too.

Mr. Speaker... what do you think?

Kurt was surprised to be told near the left, but Knight answers with a serious face.

"Initially, I thought we needed a trading port, but I saw something in addition to a trading port that the Dorotomon said unexpectedly that there was something else going on here..."

Apparently, the chairman thought the same thing.

What do you think of Pandora?

"I agree with the chairman. The Kingdom of Bohemia is hiding something… Is there something important in that coastal country?

In Pandora's words, Near and Left were twisting their heads, as Night thought of something and remembered.

"Indeed, I remember hearing a few years ago from a merchant that two specialties are famous in the Kingdom of Reston and are focused on growing cotton. After that, the merchant blurred that the meat could be preserved, the fertilizer could also contain powder... this was not a product, and it wasn't very useful..."

Hearing the words from Night, Pandora quietly spoke as Kurt and Near Left looked at each other unexpectedly.

"Apparently, the goal of the Bohemian kingdom is the latter. Well, you want cotton, but the real thing is the latter."

Night nods to Pandora's words and asks a question that looks like it's been less than a minute.

"Your Majesty Sakura, is the powder I said so necessary?

"Oh, even if it's necessary. Anyway, it's called nitrite, and it's the raw material for gunpowder."

Night answers in surprise with his eyes rounded to the nearest explanation.

"Is that what gunpowder is used to shoot those Allied guns?

"Yes, that's the gunpowder. The current Allies use more evolved gunpowder and use fewer nitrites, but they can still be used for a variety of purposes, so they are imported exclusively from the Kingdom of Torreso.

Besides, the new gunpowder uses cotton… I don't know how much you know or if it's just a coincidence, but you can see that the Kingdom of Bohemia has information about guns and knows how to make them. "

In a recent explanation to the left, Night perhaps concludes that Al, the king of the kingdom of Bohemia, the vessel of angels, knows how to make a cannon.

"I see... how much do you think you know?

"... if we don't get a report from Intelligence, it's probably the initial gunpowder. The gunpowder must have suffered a lot without completing it."

Everyone nodded to the nearest thought, but in fact, the Bohemian kingdom around this time was already about to complete the gun and gunpowder in the castle of Lilith and enter the mass production system. And it was also a bright cloth stone.

The guns will eventually be discovered in the Eastern Union. Had the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Eastern Union been at war, the Eastern Union would have targeted the areas where the gunpowder was produced.

In that case, if the nitrite mined in the territory of the Kingdom of Reston were to be considered a lifeline, the Allies would be the first to invade the territory of the Kingdom of Reston.

The Bohemian faction thought that if we knew the route of the attack, it would be easier to think of an interception plan and easier to protect.

"... then, His Majesty Sakura. Do you think you can fight the Kingdom of Bohemia and win?

Answer the candid Night's question without realizing the true meaning of the Kingdom of Bohemia for a while.

"The speed of communication is mutually reinforcing. Coalition forces are somewhat more advantageous in armaments. In tactics, it's advantageous for now. I think I can win.

But the problem is air power. I had anticipated that even if I transferred the kingdom of Visur, I would attack it with bows and arrows, like the kingdom of Enburg, but if I saw a path that gunpowder would succeed, the story would change.

I'm afraid there are other countries that use Magic Beasts militarily, but I'm sorry to say to Lord Oyazi, but the Kingdom of Visur has to take this one. "

"Sure, the combination of gunpowder and aviation power is a hassle. If you're attacked from the sky, if you don't have anti-aircraft weapons, you start a one-sided rampage."

Knight nods as he agrees with Pandora's nod, and Kurt asks with a serious face.

"So, as for the Eastern Union, how long does it take to give way?

Over there, Evelina will listen to the kingdom of Bohemia and we will come up with a plan. "

Okay, so the Kingdom of Torreso will be a mediator between the two factions?

Knight answers right in front of me.

"The kingdom of Veltran originally joined the Eastern Union, so I would like to receive at least Dwalbuff and Visur from the five countries of the Asian Union."

Got it. Now, I'm going to talk to my wife, Evelina, and come up with a plan. I'll call you back when I've made up my mind. "

"Yes, I understand."

Nearly to the left, answered with a smile, Kurt leaves with a smile on his face, and Pandora was thinking something.

"What's the matter, Pandora?

I was worried, but Pandora answered thinking about something.

"... Father, do you feel any discomfort?

I think that Pandora's words also have a serious expression near the left.

... yes, Pandora is right. The chairman said he had heard stories of nitrite from merchants, but in this world nitrite is known as worthless.

Cotton is unusual, so I'll tell the chairman, but do you bother saying nitrite?

Is this... a rumor about the Bohemian kingdom?

Having come to the conclusion of the rumors of the Kingdom of Bohemia, he answered with a serious face, feeling like a cold blade was placed on his back somewhere.

"You're right, Pandora. I feel like we're dancing well in the Kingdom of Bohemia.

First, the merchant who gave the chairman information about the nitrite is suspicious. Why did you bother telling the chairman that the world's nitrite is worthless?

"After all, did your father feel uncomfortable there..."

Listening to Pandora's conversation with Left Near, Left Near advises Night to turn his face pale.

"Mr. Speaker, it seems that Al is the same as or better than Lord Oyaji. The battle is over before it starts, and fighting is only the last push.

This is Lord Oyaji's word, but I think Al is doing the same thing. In the near future, we are already hitting stones to fight the Eastern Union. "

"So, what do we do now?

And it was a night of haste, and Pandora and Near Left looked at one another, and Near Left answered.

"I don't know what to do, because I don't know what the other person's intentions are. Well, I'm pretty sure it's some kind of cloth stone... but for now, I don't think there's any other way to hit it."

"That's right, there's too little information. Anyway, Mr. Speaker. From now on, the Kingdom of Bohemia may use its various hands to shake the Eastern Union.

Always keep that in mind and act. The weakness of the Eastern Union is that there are no absolute rulers… This is a good part of taking everyone's opinions into account, but there are also many weaknesses in decision-making and collapse. "

"I see. From now on, be more careful than ever."

I guess so. Dr. Miles also said that the best thing is a country led by a good dictator… Al is a good dictator. It will be difficult to win this.

With that in mind, Kurt showed his face and said, knocking was heard in the near left ear thinking about the aims of the Bohemian kingdom.

Well, now that we have a plan, please come to the table.

Well, let's start round two.

And he stretched out his body, and brought Pandora and Night back to the throne.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Al's eyes met as he returned to the floor, and Al smiled uncomfortably. The smile caught me close to the left, but when I sat in my seat, Kurt cut out the story.

"Now, I would like to resume the talks once again, but I would like to hear from the Eastern Union, the Kingdom of Bohemia and both countries and propose a draft that we have compiled from the Kingdom of Torreso.

Among the five countries of the Asian-African Union, Dwalbahu and Visur are integrated into the Eastern Union. How about we call the other three countries the Kingdom of Bohemia?

Of course, the Kingdom of Veltran has indicated its intention to join the Eastern Union, so the Kingdom of Bohemia has no business being involved. "

Al nodded in admiration of the Kurt's words.

"We think it's a good deal. Let's agree to His Majesty's proposal here."

"As far as our Eastern Union is concerned, there is no problem. But could you do me a favor?

When Night said that, he asked if he could accept it, and looked closer to the left, the closer to the left replied instead.

"Indeed, as the chairman said, there will be no problem. However, when attacking the kingdom of Visur, this one will have to cross the Kingdom of Reston in order to march from the east. I don't want to pretend to be a dangerous landing.

So, I would like to check with the Kingdom of Bohemia, but what if the Eastern Union meets the armies of the Kingdom of Reston, even if it passes, and still cannot occupy the Kingdom of Reston?

We don't like to bleed for the Bohemian kingdom either. "

Al answers the most recent question slightly ahead of time.

"In this case, you may fight. Of course, we pay a little more than the mercenary average, and we provide food."

"No, just pay with money. We don't have to deal with each other's food."

That's true too. Now, all you have to do is pay with money. Also allow garrison in villages and towns near the border. "

"He'll be fine. Now we can avoid the worst landings."

All right. With freedom of movement and a garrison in the city, we can scout the Royal Bohemian Army battles with the Beyond the Explorer. Perhaps Al will be wary of Shinobi... with a little camouflage, let go of Shinobi.

Al suggests that Komyo keep staring at the proximity to the left.

"The fact that we face the sea means that we can trade by sea… My kingdom of Bohemia would like to offer a deal to the Eastern Union and the Kingdom of Torreso. Well, there are tariffs, so I don't want to make a decision right now, but I'd like to know if each representative is willing to trade.

If you have the will, we can discuss the deal. "

Hey, don't tell me you're after the kingdom of Torres. Well, Al would like to gather as much information and money as he can before the war.

Kurt nods and answers when he thinks so.

"If that's the case, my kingdom of Torreso will consider it positively."

"Thank you for sitting down. Then, once we have the cotton from the Kingdom of Reston, let's split the seedlings a little bit into the Kingdom of Torreso."

"Oh, thank you."

"But sometimes it depends on the climate, so it's hard to expect too much."

"Yes, of course I understand. But I'm still glad."

That said, it was a cart that was exhilarating, but the nearest left eye looked at Al and the others calmly.

Are you going to embrace the cart and set something up... no. Is this to gather information about the Eastern Union through the cart?

Damn it, you're steadily hitting me.

I think so. Night hits his ear near the left.

"Your Majesty, what can we do?

"You'll have to admit it. Just remind countries to be alert."

Knight nodded lightly to the nearest words.

"Even in the Eastern Union, let's recognize the freedom of trade."

"Oh, can you agree with the Eastern Union? This will create the continent's largest economy, and we will be more profitable."

Delighted to say so, Kurt stood up with a smile.

"I would like to continue to have friendly relations with the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Eastern Union. If you don't mind, we have a simple party in another room, so why don't you take your time?

"Oh, that's good. I'm sure of it."

Al, who stood up, stood up and went to the party venue, but Lilith, who was walking behind him, walked side-by-side and asked questions quietly.

"What is the Kingdom of Bohemia thinking?

Lilith answers Pandora's question casually.

"... I can't say it here."

"Okay. So, just tell me... is the Kingdom of Bohemia already developing artillery?

Lilith nods silently to Pandora's very core question.

Well, the Kingdom of Reston is the bait of war. You do interesting things inside.

Pandora asked a question as she saw Takaaki walking happily in front of her.

"Last question. Did you only have the Reaper at Pavel's place?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I mean, I want to know if there were any other angels in the world.

In response to Pandora's question, Lilith answers as if she had come up with something while thinking seriously.

"I don't know if it's an angel, but sometimes Parvell talks about something. But you couldn't see me."

It must be the angel of the Astral body before it gets into the vessel. So maybe there are other angels.

"Did you hear the name of the angel?

"I'm sorry, I wasn't interested at all, so I forgot to listen to you."

Shit, really useless vampires. But now that Parvell is in contact with the angels, there is a possibility that there are other angels... but I have to ask him.

I can't tie Masanoiko to this world forever.

With that in mind, Pandora turned to the party venue with a frustrating face.
