Civilization Game

Lord was thrown out of his office and waited outside the door. Maids rush in and out of the room, wondering if Eve asked them to.

After a short while, I was given permission to come in from Eve.

'I feel like the owner of the room has changed...'

It was time for Lord to enter the office thinking that way.

"Huff!"

Lord's eyes twist. Beatrice was dressed like Maid! The lightning approaches Rod, looking up and down at her. Then I raised my thumb.

"Excellent quality."

"…… I guess being a pervert is one thing."

Eve sighs and mutters. Lord did not pretend to have heard it, but told Beatrice.

"It looks good on you, Bea."

"…… Ah."

She rubs her cheeks red and answers with the sound of ants crawling.

"... Oh, thank you."

"Hehehe!"

"Stop laughing like that pervert and get to work! Work!"

Eve winks at you with tears in her eyes.

"Last night was definitely our turn to fight back! Why did you go back to being the same stupid pervert you always were when you had all the fancy forms? Have you forgotten already?"

"Eve."

"Yes?"

"Are you calling that a vocal mimic?"

Eve once again radiates a demon-like red glow from her eyes. Rod turns his head, sweating.

"You couldn't have forgotten."

Lord mutters, leaving Beatrice with an errand. He asked Harbert at the lab to ask him about the progress of the study.

After she left, Lord reopened the chat window. The person he was waiting for is now connected.

"Well, let's do diplomacy."

Rod's finger moves over the commander's window.

- Rod Polentia has requested a 1: 1 conversation with Colin Rolling.

"Take it, Colin. Take it. '

- Colin Rolling has agreed to a one-on-one conversation.

Whoo-hoo!

A new screen window appeared in front of Lord's eyes.

On the screen, the man in the blue robe of the pajama visuals with the moon and stars appeared. The hair color was also blue with a mysterious feeling like an outfit, and a rod that looked like a cane was leaning next to it.

"Huh? This is the first time I've used it."

The man on the screen mutters with a puzzled look. Lord bows his head.

"I've never used it myself. Nice to meet you, King of the Abyss, by the way."

Colin greets with a smile.

"I am Colin, king of Opectus."

The magical kingdom of perfectus. It was one of six countries surrounding Abyss, west of Abyss.

The two began to talk with a light talk. How have you been? How's the adaptation problem? How's your country doing? From their point of view, they exchanged everyday stories.

"Well, then."

Colin says, spreading his base.

"May I ask what business you had with the 1: 1 conversation in Abyss?"

Is that the point? Clean, office style. '

As he wished, Lord went straight to the point.

"Hmm? I don't know if I can actually ask you this."

"Speak comfortably."

"That's the thing. Looks like Aruges is preparing to invade us again."

Colin's eyebrows distorted.

"Is that true? I thought Lord had given up on his early all-in-one strategy."

"I thought so, too, but in the meantime, Arogenes has been raising an army. Unlike before, we didn't deploy our troops. As Colin knows, Abyss..."

"Can you see what's happening to them?"

"Yes. You seem to know it very well, so the story must be quick."

Rod clasps his hands together and continues.

"One thing I ask is that you help me repel the attack on Aruges." "

Colin didn't answer right away. Looking up at the ceiling. 'I made a sound.

"You're not going to reveal this time in a chat window?"

"That way, the whole of the Middle East can become a mess. I want peace as much as I do now."

Colin nods accordingly and asks.

"So if we help Abyss defeat Aruges, what's in it for us?"

"That's..."

Rod's jaw snaps.

"… Abyss will be your home country."

Colin was surprised and asked.

"Cow, domestic?"

A domestic country means a diplomatic relationship that goes under another country and becomes ruled by that country. Especially in Chaos World, the game tends to get very difficult when you become a member. First of all, we must bring a certain amount of tribute to our home country every set time, and the home country can even request mobilization of troops from the home country, and can even interfere freely with the internal affairs.

Some players called the in-country "diplomacy of humiliation" and took the position that it was preferable to be destroyed when they entered the in-country. Of course, there were some countries that were democratized, but there were a small number of dramatic cases in which independence or rebellion was used to bring the continent back together.

Even though the card Lord presented was immense, Lord continued the conversation with a bold tone.

"Of course. Since God saved us from the crisis of destruction, shouldn't we do that?"

"Well, I'm a little surprised."

Colin stammers. At best, he was thinking about financial rewards and rare resources. But the great nation.

"What do you think?"

You bite as if the rod were pressing fast. But Colin had thought about it for a long time. He tried to read Lord's intentions.

"Lord. I have one question."

"Yes, go ahead."

"Why us? There are four more countries that face the border with Abyss rather than us,"

"Oh, that's..."

Rod scratches his head and raises his index finger.

"That's just the first proposition. If you refuse in Opectus, consider another country."

'…… this bastard.'

Colin smiles inside.

So Lord's words were his first proposition, and there's no particular reason. Colin's idea was different.

I have offered to become my own kingdom, not to subdue it with force. Of course, it was worth saying that the capital of liberation would be considered. Lord will probably never offer a royal offering to a powerful kingdom like Casar.

'Too much water. I'm on top of your head. Hmm, but let's put that far behind us for a moment...'

It took a long time for Colin to come up with the next statement. Eventually, he said.

"…… It's a matter of some importance, so I won't be able to answer it right now."

"Haha, I see."

Lord smiles shyly.

"Do you think Aruges will be here soon?"

"Apparently."

"Well, let's just say my answer is pending."

Lord's eyes sank. Hold. Virtually no. Colin said.

"It doesn't matter if you don't mind us saying the same thing in other countries. Oh, and…"

Colin scratches his head and says,

"I want peace, too. Let's keep it to a minimum."

After a few more words came and went, the conversation ended.

As the screen disappears, you can see Eve opening her eyes in front of her. From Lord's mouth, he said, "Huff! 'Surprise sounds came out.

"Your Majesty. Ha!"

Her expression is particularly intense.

"What the hell were you thinking? Inbound? Inbound? It's so humiliating without even fighting properly...!"

"Calm down and listen to me."

Lord shakes his hand and says:

"I made you an offer because I knew you'd refuse at Opectus."

"…… Yes?"

Opectus takes time to train wizards, as powerful wizards are the main force in the country. In other words, the early part is weak and the middle part is a strong concept country. Therefore, Opectus was in a favorable position as the current peaceful situation grew longer, and was very satisfied with the situation.

But let's say Abyss comes under Opectus. In the beginning, we put ourselves on a lump that is an insurmountable territory, surrounded by six countries. Other countries that were aiming to capture Abyss' territory could not stand idly by. I will apply the brakes in any way

In other words, it was the calculation of Lord that Opectus would never attempt to strike peace on his own.

"Then, why did you make such an offer that I could have refused?"

Eve leans in and asks.

"to hide my intentions and provide information to Perfectus."

"Information? You mean Aruges is attacking. But why would you do that?"

"It was to bring about the military movement of Opectus. They refused our offer, but they don't want it to swallow us up."

Lord insists.

During the banquet of the gods held before the Temple, Lord sat on the second floor and carefully observed the actions and movements of all contractors. In the case of Colin, he had been intimate with a woman since the beginning of the banquet. When I saw the difference between the way I looked at strangers and the way I looked at her and the tone of my voice, I could quickly see it. The two of them actually chose the "Magic Kingdom Opectus" and "Elven Kingdom of Albheim" as 1 pic neighboring countries and took the countries.

After the country was decided, if the countries were close together, other contractors could suspect their alliances. Despite his trivial actions, Lord was able to gain a lot of information from it.

"I don't know if they were allies of the gods or if they were right about each other during the banquet, but I'm pretty sure they were allies."

But there is the earliest powerful nation, Arogetz, right next to its ally, Alveheim. If Arogetus swallows the Abyss, the aftermath will inevitably come to the Opectus-Albheim Alliance.

"Oh, and it looks like there's an alliance there, too."

"…… Which country?"

"I'm not sure yet. But we can draw a analogy from the fact that Arogetus has prepared an extreme, early all-in strategy. They were probably promised to protect their empty territory during the attack. Otherwise, there's no reason to use an all-in-one strategy at the beginning of madness. In other words, this fight is likely to grow into the Opectus Alliance versus the Arogenes Alliance."

"…… hmm."

Eve nods as if she understood. Every time I nod, the bear overhead rocks my ears as well.

Lord glances at you for a moment, then 'hmm' clears his throat.

"Then let's return to the position of Perfectus. Opectus loves peace. It is still a burden to use Abyss as a home country. But I don't want the Arogenes Alliance to swallow Abyss, their future enemy of the Alliance. What's the best move they can take in a situation where there's a conflict of interest?"

“I don't know...? ”

The tail of Lord's mouth rises.

"Deploying troops near my country's borders. To ward off Aruges."

"Ah! The king of Opectus has made a minimum of a move." 'That's what you said! "

"Yes! Some kind of powerless protest? If we're wrong and Arogetus comes at us from behind...... that's not bad for Opectus either. They get an excuse to join the fight, but they also get a number of cases when both Aruges and Abyss are weakened and run into the fishery. Of course..."

You have a grim smile on Lord's mouth.

"Even though it's a red lie that Arogenes is moving."

"Was that a lie?"

A slight malignancy protrudes from Eve's mouth.

"Yes, but Opectus won't doubt it much. The basic premise is that all countries trust Abyss' word. 'And' Abyss has no advantage. 'is. Even if Colin rolls his head, he'll never know what's going on inside of us."

Eve's eyes widen.

"Your Majesty."

"Huh?"

"I thought you were an incompetent pervert, but you're surprisingly clever."

"…… give me one insult or compliment."

"But you didn't tell me the important point."

Eve puts her hands on her knees and speaks in a serious tone.

"Why did you lead Opectus' forces forward?"

"It's that simple."

Lord laughs and speaks.

"In our Abyss, there are people who are sensitive to that movement."
