Civilization Game

Emperor's Altar

- Serena Winslett has accepted a 1: 1 conversation.

As the screen unfolds, Rod faces the woman in the red enemy like white hair and blood. I always thought it was a unique atmosphere. It's like being more transcendent and spiritual than being human.

“It's been a long time, Serena. It's my first time since Wigdrasil. ”

Lord greets you first. She replied with a light ceremony. White flesh and distinct features caught the eye of the rod for a moment.

“Hmm."

Her lips opened and a clear voice came out.

“I missed you, Lord. ”

‘ ……?! ’

The accidental blow burns Rod's face. All of a sudden, you say hello to lovers you've met for a long time... Lord looked at the odd man, but Serena accepted the gaze.

“… hmm, hmm. I heard you're deploying troops in the Great Forest. ”

I was shaken from the start. The sober Lord gets right to the point.

“What was the intention? ”

“ ……. ”

As she gazes silently at Lord, she draws a faint smile on her mouth.

“It's a game, Rod Polentia. ”

... Is it a game again? It was the same repertoire as when it came to world numbers in the past. You're a game addict.

“I think they're trying to pull us out, but what are they up to? ”

Serena tilts her head as if asking a natural question.

“Yes, of course. ”

“…… Hmm? ”

I confessed too easily.

“It's natural to make a plan to defeat your opponent efficiently. That's an odd question, Lord. ”

Rod grins.

“Then let's change the question. Is there a reason why I should set foot in the place where you set me up? ”

“That is purely your choice. ”

Serena calmed down.

“I've got the right plans for the rainforests and other places. Your choice will change my corresponding plan, but in the end, it will be the same. ”

“…… Serena is still arrogant. After all, I'm the one who's ahead. ”

“That was also my intention. ”

Even the opponent's first place was his own intention, so the situation would have changed if she had minded? It's a ridiculous story, but Lord couldn't help but smile.

“However."

A flawless, thin, white hand points toward the road.

“Even if you come to the rainforest, you won't lose anything because of the terrain conditions. I promise you that.”

It meant that Cerestina's "plan" was not an ambush, but a kind of topographical advantage.

Lord closes his eyes and thinks. I've felt it several times, but I'm not the one to say nothing.

“... But in the end, it sounds like you're better off fighting in the Great Forest. ”

She didn't deny it.

“That's better. All out war fully draws out the power and capabilities of the Lord. I can see if it can reach me. ”

“ ……. ”

“I'm going to have to do something dirty and cumbersome if not for the rainforest. The whole continent will be a battlefield. ”

It would mean the entire continent that Lord originally envisioned as a stage riot. Lord is disappointed by her words.

“It's all good, even when I met you at the ball before, and it's pretty annoying to talk about your winning ending like it's natural. ”

Serena tilted her head again.

“Of course I win. ”

“... Haha. ”

A flame flashes into Lord's eyes.

“Okay, fine. Let's give it a try. ”

She smiles faintly again.

“I look forward to it, Lord. ”

*

Lord sent his vanguard and a large number of spies to look into the rainforest first. Serena is slowly fortifying her essence, of course, but she doesn't touch the other forest hills.

Lord was also secretly convinced that she wouldn't lie.

He's not a man who could benefit from his little tricks.

The reason I was investigating was only to gain the reasoning of those around me.

The morning after Serena's conversation, Lord officially announced at a royal meeting that Argon was camped and waiting in the Great Forest.

Their reactions were not hot, so they were explosive.

“Of course I have to go! ”

“Altar of the Emperor! Isn't this the best stage ever? It's only fair that we go there! ”

“Not only the legitimacy, but also the ability to bind Argon and its hordes to the Great Forest. Isn't that the best deal? ”

Most of the officials agreed to deploy the rainforest. A place where there was the last battle of chaos and the former emperor ascended to the throne. While the entire continent was watching, the last thing he said was that there was no place like this.

Of course, there was also disagreement.

“We always have to assume the worst. ”

When Tia opens her mouth, all the officials are silent. The exhibition was the second most powerful military after the Road.

“Argon has taken Icarus' forces and is trying to implicitly draw us in. After their intentions have been revealed, why should we follow them as they want? An unexpected attack by the opponent is most effective. ”

“But, soldier, didn't you find out that the spies of the intelligence service really did nothing at Argon?" ”

Ben protests, raising his glasses.

“And it's not just the negative. The Queen of Argon also wants to end this mess. And so do we. If the interests of the two countries are aligned, then there's no need for all-out war. ”

Tia is right behind you.

“To want to end all things in one war is idealism, greed and nausea. Master Ben. It's a stage to hide the owner of Eden here. It is perfectly natural to walk the path of thorns. ”

“Tia, the battlefield was so long and harrowing. One third of the continent's population died from war, plague and famine. But we have precedents. We have history. I can look back on the past and change the future! You don't have to walk through thorny fields. Why would the military want to implement" hell "in the past? ”

Phonetic

Tia and Ben face each other without a retreat.

Other pretenders and officials gave their opinions. The more opinions accumulated, the more conflict grew. Rod, sitting on the throne, folds his arms and closes his eyes to worry.

“What does the Grand Duke think? ”

We can hardly come to an agreement, so it's time to ask Lord's opinion one last time. Lord slowly opens his eyes.

“... As the military has said, that is the stage that Argon built. They've created the situation as if it were an equal condition, but if there were no plan to stop our great army, they wouldn't be there. In other words, we have to walk ourselves into the trap that they set. ”

The officials murmured in a panic. Are you sure you don't want to go? The Dissidents nodded, saying that they were right.

“… if it was me, and if it was the Abyss of the past, I would have sought a more effective and less damaging way to do a frontal battle in the jungle. because we were weak. Survival was first and foremost, so there was no shortage of means and means. In the process, many people have been sacrificed, and they have tried and turned their backs on it, justifying that they had no choice but to survive. ”

The left side is quiet.

The first thing that popped into Lord's head was Empire. Victory won by sacrificing civilians, including demons and undead. And the damage done to them returned to Lord like a boomerang. You took away the innocent smile of a precious person.

The teeth have been bitten.

“But we're stronger now. Since burning Empire and defeating Hades' great army, no one on the continent has questioned our power. However, the continent's preconceptions are still deeply rooted. I have yet to break the prejudice that this country was founded by the poor. What does this mean? We need more than just power. Even if the empire is united by force, it won't be long before the mountains scatter like sand. All the blood that has been spilled so far is meaningless. ”

“ ……. ”

Lord empowers his voice even more.

“We've become the continent's greatest. So now we have to walk the royal highway. You've worked hard to buy expensive clothes and you have no reason to go to the dirty alleyways because you're afraid of who will see you the way you used to! The First World has the highest class. It's time to think about the value of more than just power! ”

Lord rose from his throne and said:

“I accept Argon's offer. With the victory on the final battlefield, I will ascend to the throne of the Emperor with the recognition of all continents! ”

At the end of Lord's speech, the attendants cheer loudly and whistle in fear.

“…… the Prince. ”

Tia, who had a disagreement, looked at Lord with a difficult look.

“… I know what Tia is worried about. He'll be back as soon as he finds anything odd. And we can have a handicap that tells the whole continent of Argon's work that has been trying to recreate the glorious rainforest battle and trap us. ”

“No, it doesn't matter anymore, Your Highness. ”

She knelt on one knee in front of the road, her face quickly disdainful of the refinement.

“If the princess has chosen a path, she will only head there as hard as she can. As promised in the water of the world in the past, the Mainland Girl will pick out the flag of Argon and bring it to the Prince. ”

“…… Thank you. Tia.”

Once again, the officials cheered loudly. Agreed to the 1st Army, Abyss' campaign was confirmed.

The cheers in the palace soon spread to the Underheim and then to the entire continent.

The end was near.

Following the jackpot, the Temple is 300 coins! Whoa, whoa!

Do you have any commemorative 300 bucks? Yes, well done for me. Convenience store bacon gave me an over-the-top snack called hot-bar... I'm sorry.

Actually, I knew it was 300 yesterday. (...) Yes, exactly.

Who knew a lazy, slow writer like me could make 300 movies! It's all thanks to your support and attention. I never did it alone; F; thank you again.
