Civilization Game

High Risk, High Return

The whole situation was dominated by Casar.

Casar built a fortress beneath the waters of the world to keep Tia from escaping Wigdrasil, and Jerent, the Knight of the Guard, was in charge of the defense there. The rest of the troops securely occupied the other rear lands.

Lord was also in a hurry to prepare for war. The whole of the Underhaim has been busy for several days because of his new instructions.

After careful preparation, Lord gives the order to march. The Phoenix army marches underfoot with three groups, including the Mainlanders, the Beatrices and the Kirians, leaving only the Phoenix forces at the Underhaim.

This was a fairly dramatic movement.

Casar Formation.

First Castle ‘Red Keep. ’

“…… The Lord army is coming? Here?”

“Yes, arc. I'm sure.”

“Hmm.”

This man, who was freely reminiscent of wavy hair, dark eyebrows, bristles and a Greek sculpture, was King Arc of Casar. He was playing chess alone. There was protection around Lily, but she wasn't a match for chess.

“How big is the enemy? ”

“It's an estimated 10,000 troops. ”

“…… What? Really? Phew! ”

Instead of playing chess, Arc smirks and chuckles at his forehead.

“Don't you think Lord Polentia's defense of the Underheim will stand in your way? You've got some nerve.”

Protect said.

“Did I tell you? He's my friend, but he's a real bully! ”

Protect stares at the face of the arc as if it's the first time I've heard of it.

“Were you friendly with Rod Polentia? ”

“It's not old, I just ate a friend because I'm from the same age. ”

“Somewhere... …. ”

Arc grins and moves his black phone to catch the night of the bag.

“Who knew a country with limits like Abyss would go this far? I should have ripped it out with Martin or something. ”

Protect smiled as if recalling that moment.

“I sent you a handwritten letter framing Lord Polentia. The result was Martin himself being purged. ”

“Lord knows how hard it is to survive. ”

“Is this the third time you've touched Abyss? ”

“No.”

Arc grins.

“Fifth time. ”

You seduced Arogetz into attacking the Underhaim and framed Lord to turn the country into a traitor who wants to sell it to foreigners. He led his own troops to attack Abyss' lands, and at the banquet of kings, he tried to make Lord rely on himself to isolate himself from the nations. Arc has been targeting Abyss ever since the beginning of the main temple. But Lord survived to the end, and now stands as his greatest enemy.

“Can we cut to the chase? I don't know what Rod's up to, but one thing's for sure. ”

Arc moves the white figure, catching the black horse and saying,

“Abandoning the Underhaims is not the game. ”

“…… hmm. ”

If the royal palace is handed over to the enemy, the king's nomination will decrease, along with the effect of the "Commander Spear" that you enjoy as a player. In other words, Abyss' most powerful weapons, spies and revolutionaries, are also crippled, which was extremely lethal for the road.

“You mean to tell me Lord Raedric would never abandon the Underhand? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“… arc! So, isn't Underhaim trying to lure us into certain behaviors? ”

Lily sits naturally on the arc's lap and wraps her arms around it.

“For example, do we induce our presence in the Red Keep? ”

“…… hmm. ”

They were all thinking about Lord's strategy. Only the sound of arc playing chess horses quietly echoes through the room.

“I'm afraid so, arc. ”

Protect said.

“What's the fun in leaving chess alone? and refuse to face them.”

“First of all, the Guardians are no match for me. ”

Quick! The arc quickly adds a wrinkle to the edge of the protective eye.

“For reasons, I like a world in which I have complete control. ”

As the arc moves the black bishop, Lily in her lap moves the night of the bag as a joke. It was a good move, but the arc said, "That's not it. ’I had to restore the night of the bag. Lily pout her lips out.

“Friends and enemies can both obey me, and I can decide whether I want to win or lose. It feels good to have everything my way. ”

Perch. A black phone that has been advanced has caught a white look.

“I feel like a small world god. ”

“...... You don't know what you're talking about again. ”

The arc moves the night of the bag with a heavy smile.

“Checkmate! Kneel before me, Black King! ”

“…… I don't know what to say. ”

Arc opens his base after a game of chess. Lily rubs his shoulder.

“The Lord Army is coming this way, should we prepare something too?" ”

“The Red Keep's defenses are intact. Is there anything else I can get you? ”

“What I'm trying to say is, 'Prepare to attack.' Miss Lily.”

Lily and Protect's eyes open wide. Are you sure you want to attack them?

“I'll give the order. Miss Lily and Mr. Schneider will leave the Red Keep and set up camp to the east. ”

“Yee?”

Lily jumps to her feet.

“Are you sending me? Arc.”

“Yes. It's up to the most trusted Miss Lily to step up. ”

“… But, I want to fight with Arc. ”

Arc raises his head and gives Lily a light kiss on her forehead.

“Can you go? For me.”

“…… Okay. ”

I accepted Lily pretending not to win.

“Good! Let's work together to find out what the Lord Army is up to." ”

As the Lord heads for the Red Keep, Casar's conquest in the rear is swift.

I first took down the largest Saint Baldhorn in the vicinity by siege, as well as fortified castles and small towns nearby. Afterwards, he declared Casar's ‘rule’ to all the surrounding territories.

Capturing Abyss' territory meant a constant battle with the Revolutionary Army. Especially in a Node Site like Baldhorn, there could be a wind of revolution. So many players feel bad about taking over Abyss' territory, and they don't even give it to them to eat. It also said ’. Rod, of course, was aware of this, so he focused on guarding the core, Underhaim, from the beginning.

But Arc spent a long time working on the attack on Abyss, so the Revolutionary Army has also prepared a countermeasure.

First is justification.

“Lord Polentia of the Abyss has forsaken you! Before the war broke out, he took all the soldiers who needed to defend the territory to the Underhaim and thought only of his comfort. What did the king of Abyss do when you were attacked? All clear! I didn't send any reinforcements! I doubt even I have a responsibility as ruler of the territory! ”

In Casar, you repeatedly carve out the Abyss against the inhabitants of the occupied space. Lord must have sent reinforcements, but the reinforcements were destroyed before they crossed the Adriatic, and Casar kept this under wraps.

Of course, there were those who knew the truth, but most people believed what they could see immediately. Lord's reinforcements have not arrived, and Casar has taken the territory. That was the reality that the colonists faced with both eyes.

This was the point that the arc made. Genoserg, Alveheim, Wetland. It was all controlled by Abyss not too long ago. The leaders of each territory were loyal to Lord, but the common people did not have time to be loyal to a monarch as far away as Underhaim.

And the second way to stop the revolution was to use a specialized disease called Carfri, the insect kingdom that Casar destroyed.

Carfri is a country located at the north-west tip of the continent and is composed of a jungle called the 'Giant's Garden’ throughout the region. The jungle is considered to be the most mysterious place in Eden, with trees, flowers and grass all together. So those who first enter the jungle make a mistake as if they had become smaller. This jungle was not inhabited by animals, but filled with super-sized insect monsters larger than humans. Carfri developed a unique tactic to fight these insect monsters.

Arc was able to use that power partially because he had obtained the Karfri's Destruction Bonus. A specialized species called the Carfrie Handler is one that uses insect monsters as servants, and can use insect pheromone skills. The effects of pheromone skills vary depending on the type of insect, but some of them have a 'soothing’ effect. Arc noted this calming effect.

In Casar's army, the handlers were put in their strongholds to scatter soothing pheromones around the territory.

The effects were immediate. The territorials became dull in hostility and resistance to the enemy country and continued their daily lives as usual. Because the revolution used the wrath of oppressed people as firewood, pheromone skills were able to block it naturally. Arc cleverly found a revolutionary solution in Carfri. And so far the effect has been working successfully.

As major cities like Balthahorn moved away from the terror of the Revolution, Casar dispatched troops to small and medium-sized villages. The senders had no problem capturing a village with 100 armed men.

“Where did you say this town was? ”

The leader of the party, the only knight, looks at the map and says, A smart soldier next to you replies.

“It's called Kamnitz. ”

“Oh, right. Kamnitz. It's hard to remember who you are. ”

“My Lord. Can I have some fun in this town? ”

The knight frowns upon that question.

“I'm Gawain's knight. If you allow me to do that, I'll have to blow your head off a few times. ”

What they did was simple. summoning the village leaders or elders to kneel down and proclaim that the ownership of this city is in Casar. And they had to come to the new Node of Casar, Baldhorn, and bring food and resources. If you refuse, you will be executed immediately for treason. There were few places risking their lives to disobey Casar's orders, so things were easy.

“… huh? ”

But when I arrived at Kamnitz, something unexpected happened.

The town is fenced in, and there are armed men. The knight looks puzzled.

“I've never heard of villagers armed. ”

“... No way. ”

The soldier next to you frowns.

“…… aren't they revolutionaries? ”
