Civilization Game

< War was easier. >

By daybreak, the armies of the three kingdoms were separated and returned to their original territory. It was only a day's war, but the soldiers said it was the hardest war of all time.

All but the Kirians and the Warrior Alliance who went to capture the Flanch have returned to the Underhaim.

The soldiers ran home to rest, calling for all the years of war that had ended in one day, but they did not. There was a new war, a war that was more terrible and difficult than war.

“... Kill me... ”

Rod nods, lying on a mountain of paperwork.

“… Eve. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

She was answering Lord's words, scrutinizing the documents like a machine without tiring. A sneak peek into the professional affairs of the inner circle.

“Once you unify the continent and become emperor, isn't it all useless? It's just 20 times more work than it is now. Ahhhh... ”

“… stay with me. Your Majesty."

Lord saw the vast amount of paperwork he had to process. I had so much work to do. He decided to start with the first task that the bear thought of.

“Eve, can you get Annie? ”

Hiccup! The closet door opens as if you were waiting for it to pop out like a spring. He makes two rounds of turbulent aerial swallowing in the air, then lands on one knee with his arms extended.

“Sosin, Anylox! Coming soon!”

“ ……. ”

Lord and Eve are in a daze, so you see him running away.

“Did you have a bad breakfast? ”

“No, I'm perfectly normal! I'm 100% normal! ”

“All of a sudden, why didn't you... when were you in there?" ”

The question made Anylox's face gloom.

“I came in to say hello... but you didn't notice because you were both working. ”

“…… Aha. ”

“Anyway! I had a big epiphany! I will no longer be airborne by others! ”

He clenches his fist.

“From now on, I will actively appeal to my presence! ”

‘...... So you want to become a follower. ’

Lord sighs.

“Let's get to work. What about the defenses at Alveheim? ”

Anylox opens her mouth as she pulls out the Juju Island document.

“They have each chosen a new leader, and they have built an extreme defense system in the capital, Wigdrasil. We're sticking together with the belief that we can't give people the world. ”

“…… hmm. ”

Rod taps the desk with a pen as if it were a problem. I was demoted to indigenous forces without players, but I seemed to have given them too much time.

‘When Flora died and the Elves were in chaos, it would have been best to push her away, but under the circumstances.... ’

Rod, who was locked in his thoughts, asks again.

“What about Baldhorn? ”

“There's trouble there, too.... ”

“What?”

“You'd better see for yourself. ”

"Anylox took out the Memorial Crystal Ball and placed it on Rod's desk. It was recorded by an informant.

When the video was run, the entrance of the rod was just right. It's not a commotion. There's a slaughter in progress between the Demibeasts.

‘…… This chaos has occurred because the power to control the Demibeasts disappeared while the genocic destruction bonus was passed on to me. ’

Anylox explained.

“The conflict the Revolution was focused on to revolutionize the Demibeast was the conflict between the Demibeast and the Demibeast." The revolutionaries stood with the herbivores and stood up to the carnivores who stood up to Malek. The rebellion has been contained, but the conflict between the two forces has escalated since Malek's death. Today, Baldhorn has become the lawless zone of chaos, and the helpless Demibeast are hurrying out of their territory. ”

Lord grunts. Genozerg was a key territory for him to rule from now on. I had to calm things down urgently before it got worse.

“How's Baldhorn holding up? ”

“It's not intimidating. I don't think it's that hard to get through the gate. Maybe it's after that. ”

“…… I see. ”

The situation would be much better if Abyss acquired Genoserg's territory and applied the powerful effects of the Commander's Spear. But Lord has a new concern.

Who do I send? ’

There are plenty of weapons to send for battle. But Lord was concerned about the people who would take control of Gennoserg's territory. Stabilizing a confused lawless zone requires tremendous effort and management. The situation will not be resolved by roughly sending or doing one of the clans as usual.

Lord sets his forehead and decides who to send to Baldhorn. From the position on the forehead, you turn to a grabbing position and stab your head on the desk. Is there only one other person in the Abyss who's fit to soothe such chaos?

A proven conqueror of the Abyss and a man who has already performed in Baldhorn.

Rod turns his head to rest on his desk. And I met her right in the eye.

“I'll go, Your Majesty. ”

“… Eve! ”

As soon as he saw her loving smile, Lord warmly embraced her in a heartbeat.

“... No matter how much I think about it, you can't. ”

Lord spoke in a painful voice.

“Without you, I'm nothing but a troublemaker! ”

“But we can't just leave Genozerg behind. ”

“... Hehe. ”

Lord loses his words and drops his head.

‘… we desperately need a political hero. ’

Unlike each other's obvious pros, pros, and pros, the role of a political hero is not very noticeable. However, they were the ones who continued to support the country in their positions. Without a gatekeeper, war pays off. What good is it if you can't rule? Rod once again felt an obsession with high-functioning talent.

“Haha, I'm not saying goodbye forever. What's the matter with you? When things get better, I'll return to the Underheim. ”

“... Yes, you should. ”

Now, the sober Lord sits in his seat dumbfounded.

‘But Eve alone will rule over the entire Genoserg. And unless her replacement comes out, Eve has no choice but to keep pressing down on the Balkhorn. Let's think. Think! Who else has a political hero? ’

Abyss underground camp.

The camp was rebuilt from an empty underground space connected to the Terra Mine, a place called Hell among the Abyss.

And there were unique foreign recruits who lived and lived here.

They were the five royal officials who were captured at the time of the Abyss invasion and brought to the Underhaim. Genozerg's shrine was executed shortly after being handed over to the Underhaim, leaving them in the camp.

They were the royal officials who remained in power in Baldhorn, but were suddenly condemned to shabby prison uniforms. Their lives here were dreadful because they could not bear to be miserable. I've been here more humiliated and humiliated than I've ever felt in my life.

Wake up at dawn when the day begins. The guards did not forgive the slightest mistake. Every little thing that did not normally care about the angle at which the duvet was hung, the creases of the clothing, the gait, and the length of the nails became subject to discipline.

The high intensity of physical labor in each day was hard enough that the whole body was broken, and the teaching of teaching through learning was also a continuation of suffering. I always had to take the test when I finished, but if I failed the test, I was bound to be punished. The dense prison discipline was useless, but I had to memorize it perfectly, one by one. I didn't know why I had to do it. I just did what I was told.

There was also a sequence among the prisoners in the group jail. Basically, they were sequenced in the order in which the monks couldn't understand. They naturally became ‘youngest’ and had to suffer from all sorts of hurdles and errands. Moreover, because there was a solidarity system among the inmates in the prison, the Demibeasts had to work harder not to notice them.

In the case of punishment, the punishment or torture was unexpectedly written down. Penalties were different for each person, with personalized styles that they were most distressed with through personal psychological consultations. I made them run until the truth came out of their mouths, put out the fire and put them in a solitary confinement room where they could hardly move a finger, and did not obstruct the means and methods, such as forcing a burdensome colleague to be punished and watch over them.

Even those from the royal family of Genoserg were no exceptions to this life. A minute of restless control and labor continued. However, people became more and more accustomed to living in a camp that was not able to tolerate it for a day.

But it wasn't just hard work. Bob was very good at it, and various rewards were paid according to his performance. Last time, the prison next door received the best example this month, so I had to be jealous to watch them eat the food they wanted outside.

Occasionally, on special occasions, they offered something called "Rat Steak," but the Demibeast boasted that it was the best taste in their lives.

As they were getting used to living in the camp, a demonic executive suddenly paged them and escorted them out of the camp.

Everyone was anxious. I knew the High Septon had been executed, and that Genozerg had been defeated in the war. Is it our turn now? ’Fear overwhelmed my mind. But I thought getting executed wouldn't be a bad idea to go back to that hellish camp.

“Oh!”

“Sunshine!”

“Outside!”

The Demibeasts shed tears of affection. One of the things that changed in my life here was that I was moved by every little thing. After the deprivation of freedom, I was able to understand how precious the little things around me were.

Welcoming them outside was a woman who was finely dressed for conquest. She sees a bear's ear hanging over her head, as if she were a Demibeast.

“Nice to meet you, everyone. I'm Eve, Templar and Royal Secretary of the Abyss. ”

She bows politely. The Demibeasts flinch. They are the youngest in the camp, and because they are inferior to insects, it suddenly feels very awkward to greet or listen to respect.

“It seems there was a mistake when you entered the camp. ”

She smiled and spoke.

“Your Majesty is waiting. Come with me. ”

“… a car, a mistake? ”

The Demibeast's expression stiffens.

“Ooh, you put us in such a terrible place! ”

“Do you think we can skip this for a mistake? ”

“No matter what position we're in, we're also a member of the royal family of a country! ”

They begin to protest with a loud shout. Eve smiles in distress.

“Oh my!”

The prison guard who saw him jumped up and down. He still had a slight look on his face and a small body.

“I'm sorry, Father! I'm sorry, they're new here, so I don't know... Sorry!”

Then I started apologizing with my back bent.

“Now, give me a minute. Five minutes! Five minutes. ”

“… Yes? ”

“Poetry, Father! This way!”

Another guard comes running, crouching, and takes Eve somewhere. The guard sighs of relief only after her appearance disappears out of the alley.

“Hey, hey... Didn't you hear me say it was a mistake...? ”

“Th-that's right! ”

The Demibeasts protested with caution.

The guard said, "Ha. ’and laughed. The fragile figure that I saw before with Eve disappeared, and I was still hiding in my cold eyes.

“Attention.”

The Demibeasts are reflexive! I put my arms and legs together.

“Have you lost your mind that these things have been out here for a while? ”

The guard's mouth is torn open like a monster.

“Heads up, you bastards. ”
