Civilization Game

Lord leaves the infantry horseshoe to Phoenix in Underhaim, leading only a small group of cavalry elites down. The two main heroes, Unibell and Beatrice, were paired.

“…… hey, panda. ”

Unibelle, riding behind Lord, has been feeling a little down since the start.

“What's the matter? ”

“Who the hell is she? ”

She points with her finger. Unibel and Beatrice, as well as another new person.

“My name is Bible. Please take good care of him.”

For a while, she drew an Oriental fighter's uniform and drew her sword. She was exuding a fierce charm throughout her body.

“... Hmph, we're good enough without you here!" ”

“Actually, I asked for it. ”

Lord told me.

It was a small elite, and I thought that if Serena had gone out on her own, the top heroes of Argon would have joined the war, but the existing Abyss members might be a little short-handed.

“… a shameless entry point, and I joined her to see if the slightest sliver of callousness would help. ”

“Hmph, I'm glad you paid for your meal. ”

Rod first set the course for the Elven Forest of Albheim. We don't know where Serena's destination is because other information hasn't come in yet, but we should be able to cover the other direction from there.

‘…… If we make it out of Bethlen, we'll be able to get in either Genocert or Albheim. ’

The unknown enemy knows what the target is, where it has moved, how big it is, and nothing. Lord was a little scared, too. Up until now, any country has been able to respond by looking at the situation of its enemies with abundant information. But this Argon was different. So I was more anxious.

‘... Actually, this is normal. All the other players have fought under this kind of pressure. ’

I called in some spies, but it takes me a while for them to get back to the mainland of Abyss. In fact, it will be difficult to get their help. A battle lacking information. Lord took a stronger stance.

‘Let's think. You have to bend your head a few times more than usual. ’

Lord grabs hold of the Dragon Drake with one hand and opens the commander's spear with the other. The map of Eden is at a glance.

Argon, an island at the eastern edge of the continent, has never done anything to get the continent's attention. In fact, for the first time, he sent troops to the continent, which is a long way from Argon. Lord thought there was a reason.

‘… there must be another purpose, not just for war or expansion of territory. ’

The road's gaze shifts toward Abyss' territory.

Bethlen is the farthest point from the capital, Underhaim. It was also later reported that a small fishing village, located completely at the edge of the world, was attacked. If the Argon forces were moving steadily during that gap, they would have traveled quite a long distance. Where the hell is he?

As Lord continues to ponder, a new notification appeared in his commander's window.

- Pascal Atlas has requested a one-on-one conversation with Rod Polentia.

‘…… Pascal from Icarus? What's wrong with him? ’

Serena followed by Pascal. Lord hurriedly raises his arm.

“Everyone stop. Take a 15-minute break here. ”

“… Huh? Already?"

Lord proclaimed a break, sneaking out by himself with a reasonable excuse for the castaways. The road, which entered a rare place, sat with its back against a large tree and pressed the Accept Conversation button.

“Lord! It's been a long day. ”

A new screen popped up and I saw Pascal waving his arm, a man dressed in sunglasses and wearing a feather cloak. Now it seemed to omit respect at all.

“What do you need? ”

“My, my, my, my, my, what a look. I'm calling to make you an offer. ”

“… suggestions? ”

A hostile country suddenly offers. Lord was curious.

“Tell me, if you were expecting a truce or a truce..." ”

“No, that's a completely different story. ”

Pascal quietly lowers his voice as if it were an important story.

“I think you're out there right now, aren't you going after Argon? ”

Pascal's bite solidifies Rod's body for a moment.

“Don't, don't, don't be so careful, Kai. I'm going to make you an offer. ”

“ ……. ”

Lord watches him with vigilance.

“What are you proposing? ”

“I will give you the best chance of stopping the argon invasion. ”

He raises his tongue.

“Work with me. Before Argon enters the continent, it ends here. That's the only time we'll be joining forces. ”

‘…… a temporary alliance to defeat one enemy. ’

Rod closes his eyes and thinks. Pascal was already aware of everything.

“... I'm still getting a lot of suggestions. I need you to tell me a little bit more so I can make a decision. ”

“Ehey, do you know how to say that? ”

He waves his forefinger to the left and to the right.

“Players? I'm the only one who's gonna lose money if you eat information out of it? ”

“That's the same way over here. What if he accepts the offer to do so without knowing the background, and it's really your trap? Maybe it's a trick to squeeze and squeeze with argon. ”

The two of them stared at each other silently for a moment. Then Pascal smiles first.

“And so did the following. Actually, argon offered me a deal. ”

Argon gives Icarus a big surprise, but gives you a hard nod.

“I have a plan to take Argon's offer back, and if you cooperate, I can destroy Argon. ”

“What are the benefits of making that offer to me? ”

“To be honest, this plan is more advantageous for me. ”

Pascal said without a hitch.

“One more thing to help with the bleeding, I think Serena is leading the troops herself. ”

Lord nods. It was a foregone conclusion.

“I'm after her annihilation bonus. Of course, it's a common front, so there's a chance you can eat, and you can use each other. And Rodney can't just sigh to stop the argon if it's not an annihilation bonus? ”

That's true. The extinction bonus had already been earned enough to last more than a minute, and the peace to take these benefits to full use, and the loading of time, was desired. Lord sees Pascal's face. Possibly a lie, but there was a thorough greed on his face. Rod's judgment stands.

“…… good. Only until we catch the argon, we expand the common front. ”

Pascal smiles satisfactorily.

“Hahaha! Good thinking. ”

“Now tell me all about it. ”

Pascal slits his throat with a glass of wine and opens his mouth.

“Actually, Argon is coming from Bethlen. ”

“… Yes? ”

“Argon, come up from my land. ”

“ ……! ”

Pascal explained. Serena had been drugged that she had contacted her closely in a one-on-one conversation. Her offer is one. I said, "I'm going to hit Abyss. Make way."

“I had no reason not to. Rod, you and I are enemies, so it would be nice if we could work together in other countries. I'm giving you a piece of armor in return. ”

“Then why are you telling me this again? ”

“Humans naturally crave larger pieces of bread. ”

Pascal's eyes widen.

“If you two fight, all I get is indirect gain. But don't you think if I catch Argon here, I'll be able to target the annihilation bonus? ”

Oh, this is how it came out.

“She led the army herself. Then cross my territory and head straight for Alvehem. Wouldn't it be shortest to travel across my territory than to start in Bethlen and go through Genozerg? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Lord nods accordingly. It was definitely weird. Even if the Abyss are a minority, they have been completely hidden within their territory since the destruction of the fishing villages and garrisons. Their movements have not been noticed anywhere.

What if they're not in Abyss' territory? What if we just got off the boat and attacked from Bethlehem, just to draw attention, and we got back on the boat, and we got off at Icarus, and we went straight to Alvehem? It was a joke to the territory of Genoserg and the troops guarding its path. Lord relieves himself. If it wasn't for Pascal, it could have been dangerous.

‘... You have unintentionally obtained important information. ’

“Look closely. ”

Pascal moves his commander's spear, allowing Lord to see.

“There are several passageways from my mainland to Alveheim. I didn't say which route to go from Argon, but the two points are the most important. ”

Pascal points his fingers directly at the two places.

“A place where the cavalry can run right out without going through rough mountain roads. You ambush troops at these two points, and I'll be waiting for you in the back. When I set an ambush from your side and start fighting, my men will go up there and slap them on the back. There won't be many Argonian children around here.If they get buckets, they'll die. ”

He chuckles.

“I'm going to block the rear and take out the argon. Of course, Argon's destruction bonus is the first to catch it in the middle of a war. Isn't it neat?”

“…… hmm. ”

It was clearly a good strategy for Pascal. We'll take an ambush, but it's the Abyss army that's dealing with the fresh Argonian soldiers on the front. And if the Argon army retreated, it was more likely to retreat backwards. In other words, Pascal is more likely to capture the escaping Cerestina for a destruction bonus. Although it felt like a bit of a loss, it was more reliable because Pascal's greed revealed itself.

‘…… What should I do? ’

The leader was clear. But as Pascal said, I'm happy that either way is settled, and this is the way to stop Argon. It also requires Argon's territory to properly utilize Specialty Diseases, even if Icarus takes the Argon's Destruction Bonus. The island of Argon is located far across the sea, so Icarus won't suddenly become a threat.

Lord cleared his mind. Despite the other factors, the rice cake was too big to give up this plan. I don't know what strategy Serena will use or how strong Argon's firepower will be, but if the Jackpot explodes, we can end her here.

“I'll do that. ”

Lord has finally made his mind completely clear.

“You're talking to me. ”

Pascal grins.

“Argon forces will be overrun within two to three days, as soon as possible. Put an ambush where I told you. I'd be sneaking around, too. ”

As soon as the conversation was over, Lord immediately informed the Intelligence Service through the communications correction corridor and made changes to the deployment of Kirian troops covering Genoc and the vicinity of Alvehem. The existing troop system was widespread throughout Genozerg territory, making it easy to defeat each one of them, but now the majority of the troops are focused on ambush points.

‘After all, this battle depends on how well the Kirian does it. ’

Perhaps the battle will only be prepared for the Kiriathan army without the support of the main force. I was a little offended by that part. It will take a little longer for you and these three Aces to arrive.

‘… Pascal's betrayal makes things complicated even before the battle begins. ’

Rod gets back on the Drake with a lot of thoughts.
