Civilization Game

After a barbecue on an unforgettable weekend night, royal affairs began again.

Lord finally draws his sword. They instructed the sovereigns and their lords to prepare for war. Since the last specialized disease was being developed and the power was ripe, there was no need to waste time. Roseanne, Kirian, Mineh and Runfang, who were staying in the Underheim, returned to their own lands.

In response to the movement of the rod, even the Argon side has detected troop movements. Anylox and intelligence are busy.

‘...... They're preparing over there, too. Then it's only a matter of where the war is. ’

Before Anylox arrived, Roads decided to set up a framework for strategy, using the commander's spear to map the continent of Eden.

At the start of the war, Argon and Hades, the largest axes of the 'Van Abyss Force’, were more likely to be pushed in at the same time from the north, south and in different directions. If that's the case, Lord had to split his forces. He had the Vivall forces stop Hades, and Lord himself painted a picture in his head of the main force against Argon.

Anylox comes down to the Oval Office as Lord considers several possibilities.

“There you are, Annie! How many Argon troops are gathering? ”

“Forty thousand chutes. ”

Lord was slightly amazed.

“The island nation has amassed itself. What about us?”

“We can even organize our troops up to 80,000 right now. ”

“Good.”

Like the Cultural War, their troops grew in size. Once upon a time, even the tens of thousands of Genoserg were under considerable pressure, but now it has become an old saying.

Lord thinks and opens his mouth, feeling Anylox's gaze staring at his face.

“…… You have more important news than that? ”

“Hehe! Exactly, Your Majesty! The Argons are on the move! Do you know where the Argons are camped? ”

Anylox empowers his voice, rejoicing Lord's interest.

“... Tell me quickly, without being overwhelmed. ”

“Don't be surprised! They camped in the Great Forest! ”

“…… hmm. ”

Lord's reaction was more aesthetic than I expected.

“Where is it? ”

“... Huff! Are you sure you don't know? The forest with the Altar of the Emperor! ”

Curiosity rises on Lord's face, and his mouth widens as if something had happened to him late.

“… hey, wait a minute! Is that the altar of the emperor I know? ”

“Yes, that's it. ”

“Isn't that the ruins? ”

“It was a battlefield before it became a ruin site. ”

‘Rainforest’ was a historically meaningful place in Eden. It was the place where the former emperor and the last king who intercepted him had a final battle, and the emperor triumphed in that battle and became the emperor.

An endpoint where the odds end, and a new era begins.

A historic place where the first emperor of the continent was born.

It was a rainforest.

“Then why are the argons camped out in such a place? It's not even a border to our territory. ”

Rod looks at the map and asks. Anylox grins.

“Hehe. Are you sure you don't know? Your Majesty."

“ ……. ”

In Lord's head, I thought, "No way."

People on the continent believe that the present crisis is a "recreation of the past." Small countries with empires torn apart. The synagogues that were simultaneously awakened by divine revelation, the myriad heroes who appeared on the edge of the world, and the various disasters and signs of the end, the current situation, were all the same as the "previous difficulties." Continents who believed in the existence of God did not consider this a coincidence.

And in this situation, the Argon side was camped and waiting in a historic place where the final battle took place.

“…… Annie, how did the continents react? ”

“There was a commotion. ”

Anylox immediately replied.

“I look forward to the end of this hellish world, and the arrival of a new emperor will open a peaceful age. Rumors are swiftly spreading across the continent, riding through the mouths of communication crystals and merchants. ”

“…… Argon must have done something. ”

“Yes, it may not reach our intelligence agencies, but your information organization, the Eun Ryong Gang, is quite good. Anyway, everybody's in a commotion. If my people hear about this, it'll be a disaster to go to the Great Forest. ”

Rod turns his head again and looks at the continental map on the board.

“... But this is a trap for everyone to see. ”

I understand the continents who want to end the chaos, or the pretenders who don't want to miss out on this opportunity to be recognized as emperors, but Lord is not very satisfied.

“Look at this. The Rainforest is located on the border between Icarus and Evgenia. ”

Rod points his finger at the map. Rod's finger, pointing to the Underhaim, descends toward the ground, passing through Aruges' territory, and finally reaches the border of Icarus below.

“Icarus' territory is now Argon's, so we must go deeper into the enemy. Do you have any idea what you're going through? We'll all be ambushed before we even get to the Great Forest. ”

“… Your Majesty. In fact, the Argons have withdrawn from all of Icarus' lands. ”

The road has stopped.

“... What do you mean? ”

“The spies must have seen it in person. The Argon army cleared Icarus's Node Area thoroughly. We were able to set up a supply line to the rainforest without any problems. ”

“ ……. ”

Tak. Tak. Tak. Rod's finger tapping on the desk quickens.

“What about the Rainforest? ”

“As I've seen before, the Argon advance troops are fortifying only one of the largest hills on the right. I didn't even come close to the other hills. ”

"Rainforest" is a terrain reminiscent of the long term. Basically a forest, but there are several wooded hills that rise. It is high altitude and has high strategic value for overlooking the forest.

On the left and on the right are the largest forest hills, and in the middle there is a tall forest hill with the "Altar of the Emperor". And around it are these big, small hills that rise irregularly. Serena takes the biggest hill to the right and doesn't touch anything else.

The Pokémon does not occupy all of the Nodes, but waits. This seems to be an act of fairness.

Cerestina was definitely trying to get Lord involved. But the contradiction was that she gave up on herself all the advantages of being drawn in.

“… Annie, bring me all the history books with the Emperor's records. ”

“Yep!"

I had studied Eden once before, but Lord thought I should read the history books again. Eve also said that outsiders should pay attention to 'stories’ in order to understand the people of the continent.

The people of the continent of Eden differ from the modern people of Earth. To them, "God" means absolute. I believed in the existence of God, regardless of religion, and was reluctant to disobey God's doctrine.

The case of protection is typical. The traitor who caused the coup was transformed into a completely ‘original’ king only by what the High Septon admitted. This spiritual culture is deeply rooted in the everyday life of the public, so the people will be shaken by the Apocalypse and cheer for Serena in the heavenly forest. She was well versed in the mindset of the people of the continent.

‘…… Rumors will soon spread across the continent. If you abandon Serena, who is waiting in the Rainforest in devotion to Icarus by herself, the continents who were waiting for the end of the obstacle will be greatly disappointed and Abyss' reputation will plummet. As a result, from her point of view, it's okay for us to come in, not to come in. ’

Like Serena, I was amazed from the very first stone. The hand of Lord, who was quickly handing over the bookshelf in the history books, suddenly stopped.

‘Found it.'

Before the last days of Eucliff and Tursin Jenkins, a veteran emperor in the Great Forest. At the time of the last two kingdoms, the continent was engulfed with deadly epidemics and natural disasters, and the continent was in rapid decline due to subsequent wars.

While everyone longed for peace, the synagogues who received the revelation said as one. This hell will end only when the only king left on the continent lives for the gods.

At this point, Eucliff and Jenkins agreed that the war would have to end.

After they set out on the edge of the heavenly forest, they met on the central hill and sacrificed with the two countries. It became known to generations as the "Altar of the Emperor." The two of them decided to share a glass at the altar. I will settle everything here, and I will never leave this place until there is one kingdom left. Afterwards, the two returned to the main camp, and the next day, a final battle broke out.

In the overturning battlefield, the victory leans toward Eucliff. At the last moment, Jenkins told the retreating pretenders, even though he was able to retreat to his homeland, the Eastern Kingdom.

‘I will keep my oath. ’

As soon as he drew his sword, Jenkin plunged into Eucliff's army, swung his sword until the last moment and died.

Eucliff later announced that he had once again ascended to the Emperor's altar and became the only royal kingdom on the continent. And there he sacrificed to the gods and even offered an imperial coronation.

Then all epidemics and disasters disappeared magically, and Eden met the greatest abundance and pacifists in history. The continental people not only praised Emperor Eucliff, but also Jenkins, who guarded his honor to the end.

“…… I see. ”

Lord Lord's hand trembles as he unfolds his book.

‘It's clearer. Serena is trying to recreate the last war hundreds of years ago. ’

Rod closes the book. It was complicated.

‘... but it's too soon, right? Serena.’

In the history of Eden, the last two kingdoms were said to have fought in the heavenly forest. But there are still six countries left. Hades and Ulthurs have opened their eyes, and Celine and Aland are still royalty.

Was there no repulsion from the alliance? In fact, it must have limited the empire to Argon and Abyss……. ’

There was one more question.

For Argon, which is relatively inferior, but has many supporters, it would have been more advantageous to have a simultaneous multitude of dwarfs across the continent than all-out war.

However, Serena made her way to the Great Forest and took a seat and left the other seat empty.

The eyes of all continents will be drawn to it. Her actions were neither substantial nor substantial in declaring that Argon was one of the last two countries to succeed the Emperor. At the same time, Rod was demanding an all-out war on the same conditions.

‘…… is there another trick? Or are you confident in all-out war...? ’

Lord opens the Commander's spear after much thought.

- Rod Polentia has requested a 1: 1 conversation from Serena Winslett.

‘I have to find out for myself. ’
