Civilization Game

“Hehe, did you miss me? Right? ”

Chielo taps Rod's forearm and says playfully.

“…… Stop hitting me. Counter?”

“Really? You're going to hit me with a cheel? ”

Rod takes a step back, bewildered by the mixed voice of the euphemism.

"Hey, what's wrong with her? ’

No matter how intimate the men were, Lord knew her true nature, so he felt a sense of camouflage. It seemed to be worse than usual.

And meanwhile,

‘…… Oh, my God! ’

Mint, who was accompanied by Chielo's escort, was in great shock again. If people are too surprised, they won't say anything. That's exactly what she was like. The best pretense I had ever seen was unfolding before my eyes. It was doubtful that he was the tyrant of the Celestial Castle he knew.

“What about the friend behind you? ”

You stumble upon Mint's frightened expression and ask Rod, pointing back. After turning around, Chielo gives the mint a sharp shot, then turns his head back to smile.

“Don't mind him, he's just a stooge. ”

“No, but…. ”

“Now that I'm talking about it, can you see the other woman? ”

“... Why does the story come to that? ”

“Too much, too much sun! I dumped Malek's dash and chose Rod! How could you do this to me? If I had known this was gonna happen, I would have stuck it to Genozerg! ”

‘... Who am I talking to? ’

Rod quickly sets the fire before the conversation goes any further up the mountain.

“How many people can ride this warp gate? ”

“About 10 people in plenty. ”

“Good.”

Soon after the all-out war, time was gold. Rod quickly returns to the Underhaim to make his next move. Eve has a lot of supplies to prepare for, and unibelle, the hardest part of this war, has decided to take her with her out of consideration. The other seven have filled the head with wounded.

As the royal family members all returned in a convenient way, they did not look good, and above all, Tia remained the General's commander voluntarily because there was no one left to lead the soldiers. The rest of the goblins decided to come back with the soldiers.

"Hehe, what are you doing here? ’

Unibelle, who received Lord's call, is on her way to a flying gait. I can't believe you let me get to the Underhaim first through the Warp Gate! Besides, he and Eve were the only ones on the way. The sadness about the road that was felt during the expedition had faded a little.

‘… huh? ’

As soon as she arrives at Lord, her face is once again frozen like ice. Rod and a girl dressed as a witch were talking gently. The two of them looked very close, and they did not hesitate to skin Rod's back on the woman's side.

“…… hey, panda. ”

Unibell's life spills out, and she snaps at you. Why is he surrounded by so many women?

“Who the hell is that? ”

Chelle, who found Unibell, also frowned.

“…… Rod? Is that your hero, too? ”

“That's right."

“Ah, seriously...... Loricom can't hit anything except this. ”

Chielo's eyes stirring his head across were filled with contempt.

“…… Oh, no! ”

“What's not to like? ”

“Hey! Who is that woman? ”

Lord quickly turned to the subject and introduced the two of them before the trouble began. Now, the art of spontaneous conversation has evolved to the extent of craftsmanship. They greet each other.

“Wow, you're a young financier already! Amazing, Unibel! ”

‘…… Does this guy have no conscience? ’

This time, I saw Chielo with the pathetic eyes of Lord.

“Hey."

Unibell picks up and smiles, staring straight at Cielo.

“Be careful of yourself. ”

“Yes?”

“... you smell so bad. ”

Unibell's crimson eyes darken with a spooky veil.

“Don't give that fool any weird tricks. ”

Lord was amazed. Did you really see the true nature of Chielo? Although it was weak to clear Roseanne, it was Unibell's specialty to defeat this type. However, Chielo still said with a clear smile.

“Huh? What does that mean? I don't know about Chielo. ”

“…… Damn! That's disgusting. Don't talk like that! ”

As Unibell tries to fix his habit with a horrible linguistic insult that only the people from the Underhaim back alley can speak, Eve jumps in.

“I'm sorry, Your Majesty! ”

Then he grabs Unibell's head and lowers it. He bowed his head as well.

“I'm still a child, so I don't know anything... Please be generous. ”

“Ouch! Yves, it hurts! ”

Chielo strokes his hand with a smile.

“It's okay! You don't have to do this. You're older than me.”

‘…… Did this guy really leave his conscience on the other side of the world? ’

Lord sighs. The body is twenty-two creepy years old. Don't be fooled, everyone.

Mint, the escort station, has activated the warp gate. Unibel and the wounded first made it to Warp Gate, and now Eve, Lord and Chielo are the only ones left.

“Go ahead, Eve. ”

Lord told me.

“… Your Majesty? ”

“I need to talk to Cielo. ”

Eve nods and enters the Warp Gate. Rod checks his appearance and then looks away.

“Hehe, you have something to say to me. What is it?”

“…… Don't be silly. What happened to Aran? ”

Her smile fades slowly.

“… do you want to know? ”

“Yes."

As she takes a few steps behind the back without saying anything, she turns around and opens her mouth.

“Rod's message is that if Genozerg's troops do not retreat and attack with total aggression, they will do retreat even if they take heavy damage. Right?”

“... I was. ”

“Aran replied, ‘I can't give you the flange. I'm going to bury the bones here.’ I said.”

“…… ugh. ”

Lord sets his hand on his forehead. That's what I thought.

“I kept looking at him to get away, but he wouldn't listen. ”

“…… then what happened to Aran? ”

“Any news from the Abyss? ”

“… Yes. ”

“If so, Malek may have caught him. ”

Rod's face hardens.

“Brother Rod. ”

Chielo calls out his name with a worried face.

“…… It's not your fault, so don't do anything wrong. Okay?”

“I know.”

Rod throws the word out and takes a step back to the warp gate.

*

Yves waits for you as Lord rode through the Warp Gate to the Underhaim.

“Hello? Unibelle and the wounded first. ”

“Haha, why did you wait? You go in first. ”

Lord tries to smile and say it's okay, but Eve stares at him clearly.

“…… did something happen? ”

“Go in first. I have work to do... ”

“I'll be watching you, too. ”

Eve said.

“I am your High Septon. ”

Lord Lord saw her solemn face, giving up on persuasion and opening the Commander's spear. A trembling finger touched the air several times. Rod reaches out his fingers, taking away his last nervous expression.

‘... Here we go. ’

- Rod Polentia has requested a 1: 1 conversation with Malek.

Soon after, a new screen appeared next to the commander window with a notification that he had accepted, Hoyne Malek's fierce face appeared.

“Hey, look who's here! ”

I felt frowned at how big the voice volume was.

“…… Malek. ”

“I didn't expect you to contact me first. Looks like things are going to get interesting. Hehehehe! So, how's my capital? ”

Lord was silent instead of an answer. I didn't want to give him any information.

“… I'll get to the point. ”

Rod opens his mouth heavily.

“I propose an exchange of prisoners. ”

“What? Kuhahahaha! ”

Malek smirks loudly as he slaps his armrest. Lord continued, smiling or not.

“A one-to-one exchange between your High Septon and our side, Aran. ”

“... Phew. ”

Lord Lord was taking all the officers who had worked in Malek's palace to the Underhaim after the occupation of Baldhorn. The goal, of course, was the internal collapse of Genoserg.

Malek, the monarch, focused solely on the war and entrusted the entire inner circle to his Holiness, a class B political hero. Like Bianca in Aland, she was a key figure in Sill Genocert.

It's a one-to-one exchange between the Faith and Aran. Aran was also a general of Abyss and an important part of connecting Arogetus and Lord, but there was a huge gap between the two properties. Nevertheless, Lord decided to save Aran after taking the fall.

‘If Chielo had known, he would have eaten a lot of insults. ’

But Lord wanted to be responsible. I knew how important Aran was to the flange, but I used him and the flange as bait. I couldn't do it like a ray of light, but at least I wanted to save the men who fought for me and Abyss.

“… hmm. ”

Malek rubs his chin. As the worries got longer, Lord's questions grew.

‘...... What are you thinking about? Malek. You don't have time to think about it. ’

After much thought, Malek opens his mouth.

“You're not in the castle. ”

“… What? ”

“Among the ones you've captured, there must be Cayron and Aru. They're both class C political heroes, so you should put them on the list. ”

Malek has proposed a 1: 3 prisoner exchange. They gave me a Class C, and they demanded a Class B and a Class C.

‘…… Raw robbery. ’

Lord has opened his mouth.

“You know that sounds crazy, right? Are you thinking straight? ”

“Heheheh! Of course. I don't care if you say no. ”

Martin folds his arms. Lord's eyes narrow to see him. It doesn't matter! No matter how stupid you are, you know the value of a class B political hero. Do you think he's just showing off his guts? If not…….

‘…… if not. ’

Lord hides his fury and replies:

“I'll do that. ”

“Hehe... hehehehe, hehehehehehehehe! ”

Malek grabs the boat and makes a big deal of it. After a moment, he stops smiling and says, panting.

“You really value him, don't you? Load.”

“ ……. ”

“Hey! Is anyone out there? ”

Malek calls someone off the screen.

“Yes! The living. ”

“Aran, the prisoner, right? ”

“Yes, isn't he the commander you captured at the Planch? ”

“Cut his throat and bring it to me. ”

“ ……! ”

Lord bites his lip.

Again, Malek had no intention of saving the High Septon from the very beginning. He was just messing with the road. The Demibeast listens to your orders and goes outside.

“Ah, a masterpiece! The look on his face! That's the look! Hahahahaha!”

“ ……. ”

“Listen to me, retreater. ”

Malek pushes his face close to the screen.

“You must be mistaken. This is the battlefield. If you think that everything will go back to your will, it is wrong. ”

Lord does not answer. Malek raises his mouth.

“Win or live, lose or die. The battlefield is the only place. This is not your fucking playground! ”

“… you could have saved an important servant. ”

Malek chuckles as if he's not praying.

“It's none of my business. Dogs who get caught and lost in a fight are better off dead. ”

“…… crazy guy. ”

Lord said coldly. You talk about the battlefield like you mean it, but Malek is clearly crooked. A war buff and a fun man who treats people as if they were Paris. That was Malek's identity.

“Kuhahaha! What fun! What do you think? Rod, in five minutes you'll be able to see your man's head, but the last thing I want to say is goodbye... ”

Lord doesn't tolerate his anger and closes the dialogue window.

“Eve!"

Lord screams with furious eyes.

“… Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“Genozerk's Shrine will execute him as soon as he returns to the Underhaim! ”

Eve nods, a small reply. Lord breathes out ferociously as if he were still angry. I even shouted evil in the air. I was furious at the end of my head, and the swearing, not continental, came out of my mouth.

“…… ha. ”

It felt like something hot like lava was sitting inside my heart. Eve staggers as Lord writhes his palm over his face.

“Your Majesty! Are you all right? ”

Rod looks up at the sky with his palm slapped in his face.

The painful expression subsides. I know. On the battlefield, someone else dies just as well. You're ready. It's a perfectly natural fact, and you're no exception. What to blame.

At that moment, I could hear Issys' voice in my ears.

‘The original Temple is a ritual to select qualified people to be tuners. You're going to go through a lot of trials, and if the bowl is small, it might be difficult to survive as a human being. Are you ready to face that kind of pressure? ’

That's what he meant by that. Lord has finally realised.

‘It's so damn heavy, goddess. ’

Lord laughs bitterly and mutters to himself.

“Eve.”

“… Yes. ”

Rod straightens up. Before falling into blame or burning revenge, there was something I had to do to clear my head coldly. Don't let this happen again.

“This all-out war, we must win. ”

“…… Yes! ”
