Civilization Game

That night.

Lord's housewives gather in their tents to warm their campfires. In the meantime, there were many stories to be said about gathering together in one place.

“Oh really! When can we go back to the Underheim? I'm sick of the ocean!”

Unibelle, sitting on a log chair, frowns and writhes. It was a typical pitch for when there was insufficient sugar. The Bible sitting next to him calmed the child down gently.

“A little more patience, I hope. As soon as this war is over, the odds are over. ”

Unibell sneezes on her lips, making sure it wasn't too comforting.

“Who knows? It's because we can't even fight for what we've been searching for. ”

“... If we go to all-out war with such chaotic naval forces, the whole force will be fish food. ”

Tia replies, piercing a piece of meat in a stake into the campfire. The voices seemed more powerless than usual to feel responsible for the defeat before the search.

“Hmph! What have we got to lose? ”

“There is.”

Tia says with determination.

“The most important thing is the experience of the war. The Abyss have only lived in the wilderness in the middle of the continent and other territories are no different. The oceans on the continent and their best friends are from Daedalus, Argon and Ultralaters, and the people in all three territories are united against us, so the situation is severe. ”

“... Ah-ha-ha. It's happening again. ”

Roseanne nods.

“We don't have enough power! Power! No one knows how to fight better than me in the sea or in the sky! ”

At that time, Bible handed the sweet honey over to Unibel on a loaf baked on a skewer. ‘It's very hot, so please be careful.’ It was Union Bell who made a big fuss at the end of her words.

“I'm just frustrated. ”

Unibell's voice calms slightly as something sweet enters his mouth.

“At least I wish I had a lice... …. ”

“Unibel.”

Eve calls out to her in a small, groovy voice.

“... It doesn't matter to us, but you know it's forbidden in front of His Majesty, right? ”

“Hmph, I know! I didn't think I'd notice. ”

The skewers she took a bite of are placed near the fire again.

“Where is Lice doing what? ”

“ ……. ”

No one answered her question. When people heard that they were missing, everyone was embarrassed. He wasn't the kind of kid who would just disappear without a word.

“… Lord Lord is worried about you. ”

Roseanne says with her face on her knees.

“Actually, I'm more worried about Lord's menthol than war. There have been a lot of dazed times lately, and you get nightmares and can't even sleep... ”

“That's right, that's right. You're always screaming in your sleep. ”

“She begged me several times to return to the Underheim, but she wouldn't listen. ”

At the words of the Bible, Roseanne glances at her.

“But Vinosh's medicine seems to be helping a little! ”

“It's just a potion to revive your energy. She said there's nothing too dependent on medicine. ”

“Here, here. ”

Eve claps her hands together.

“No more sagging stories. How would you feel if we were helpless? We can no longer carry the burden of your majesty. Let us look lively, too. ”

The maggots nod.

“That's right! It's even weirder without the last hurdle, isn't it? The more time like this, the stronger we are! ”

Roseanne immediately inflated her positive energy.

“The girl will also do her best to ease the burden of the king. ”

Bible put his hand on his chest and said.

“Hmph, of course. ”

Unibell folds his arms and looks at Tia.

“So why don't you impress yourself? They don't look like they're dying. ”

“... never died. ”

Tardac, her eyes that lit the blazing campfire were seriously shining.

“I will keep my promise to the Crown Prince. Even at the expense of this life. ”

On the other hand, the rod was successful in contacting Lyris at the Underhaim Dungeon via a communications correction port connection.

The red eyes you see in the crystal ball are staring straight at the rod. Rod swallows the needle. I was nervous no matter how many times I met her.

“What are you bothering me about again? Rod Polentia.”

You hear the woman's voice. Lord postpones the answer and looks at her.

‘… we need to check the status of her before we can make an offer. ’

First, a grudge against murder. This looked bad even when I pretended. His face was full of hysteria. The poor witch, who was in the field as a contact, was trembling.

Secondly, for some unknown reason, the personality of the ‘younger brother' who made Lyris was slowly disappearing. His personality was favorable to humans and even slightly favorable to Lord. She was the one who made sure that whenever she tried to ignore Lord's offer, she always listened to her.

When his personality disappears, Lyris really becomes a ticking time bomb.

That's why Lord flickered at the color of her eyes. Originally she was a green and a red eagle. But now her eyes are red.

“... How's your brother? ”

Lord asked, pretending to be Tae-yeon.

“It's none of your business anymore. Waste.”

As usual, just mentioning her brother caused a sudden act of murder.

“Lin has already become completely one with me. ”

‘…… Is that what happened? ’

Lord groans. The worst is upon us. Can we get her help without her help?

No, we must get it. Lord held his mind and continued the conversation.

“Lilith, we are facing the greatest crisis in and out of the country. I need you to lend me your strength. ”

“Didn't I tell you? ”

She smiles and replies.

“What we promised each other was a one-time effort. There can be no other requests. ”

“That's not enough! ”

Lord raises his voice.

“Argon has blocked the sea lanes with marine forces and is stuck on an island, drawing time! If you give them more time, no one will know what terrible things will come out of them! ”

Reese has no reaction. Lord takes a breath and speaks.

“I don't want a lot. You, I want you to stand by our side and intercept the breach with Martan. Martan's range is much longer than the opponent can counterattack. By controlling it with Martan, we should be able to shake Argon's old strategy completely. ”

She was still unresponsive.

“... Please. I'll pay you whatever we can. ”

The Lord bows his head deeply.

“You just said the biggest crisis. ”

She shudders.

“Do you really expect me to believe that? ”

“… What? ”

“You don't think we know the continent's situation. Your opponent Argon has a small island, and you have an entire continent. Crying because the island is impenetrable. You're pathetic. ”

Lord's eyes widen. Well, from her perspective, it would appear that Abyss is overwhelmingly pushed.

“That's just the way it looks! In fact...! ”

“We said we want this‘ chaos’ to last. ”

She hung up on Lord and said,

“I have no intention of ending this war. Rather, be thankful you don't lend your power to Argon. ”

“Lilith!"

“Be persistent!”

As she raises her eyes, the purest black magic explodes like a flaming fire. A Kuku Ball! A piece of debris falls from the ceiling of the dungeon. Somewhere you hear the screams of the Witch's horror.

“Thank goodness for that. Waste. If you were in the Underhaim now, you would have gone up there and killed him. ”

It was a voice that came out of my life. Lord could feel her words were true.

“Rod Polentia. Don't think of us as yours. Don't tell me we're not doing what you want. We are the Demon King. We have no reason to obey your will. ”

Rod grits his teeth.

“...... If we lose, you won't be safe. ”

“What?"

“The people of the continent have found out who you are. Everyone's in a frenzy about killing the Demon King. And because of your existence, me and the rest of the Abyss have been reduced to the Demon King's minions. Once we're gone, you're next. ”

Lord looks her straight in the eye and pushes her forward.

“Whether we intend to or not, we are a community of destiny. This continent will fight to the death until an empire is born! And the only way for you to survive the new imperial regime is for us to become emperors! Why don't you understand this simple logic? Lilith!”

“What a pathological waste. ”

She gracefully twists her chin.

“It doesn't matter if you don't have the protection of your own. ”

“You and the humans must coexist! Without the terra provided by the humans, your bodies will collapse! ”

“Shut up.”

She said coldly, as if she had no interest in the least.

“No matter what nonsense you say, we have no intention of withdrawing our position. Waste.”

“ ……. ”

Rod grinds his teeth. Then I returned to the expressionless face.

“… then I understand. Then I'll provide you with the resources you promised, so if you lead me to the Warp Gate, come down and use it only once. Is that okay?"

She just kicks and laughs. Rod, who accepted her positivity, ended the conversation immediately. My fever broke and I couldn't stand it.

“Damn it!”

Bang! I kicked my desk. The statue fell and the documents and books fell in a daze.

“…… ugh. Phew.”

My head aches.

The entire continent revolts against Abyss. Argon seeks to buy time and advance to the end. The Naval Defense Force on Argon Island is strong. Over time, we can push back the number of troops, but time is on Argon's side. Eventually, I failed to persuade her.

“… how the hell. What do you want me to do? ”

Lord ponders. You cannot fall until the end.

Even in so many desperate situations, there was always a hole that would rise.

I had to think about it.

Whatever it takes.

Whatever it takes.

‘ ……. ’

After a long ordeal,

Lord remembers terrible ways.

Let's go again this week!

--------

Bugs. It feels like something perfect as a base for a moving revolutionary headquarters.

Rudof! Thank you for your support ^ ^

It's hard for me to see in this situation.

... (-1).../Oh! One last word about Lord. "I don't do this unless I'm an idiot or a lunatic! The crazy fool who yells that part wins!! '

wnsdlfh/Hmmm! (Munsan)

Sick Chickens/Valuable Opinion I know what you're worried about, but right now, all I have to say is watch. But it's not going to end like this. And the second comment is that I'm nodding, too. For Abyss, it's more of a Serena thing. But what I've set up as a road is that it can show obstacles, adversity, and it can breathe and interact with characters. Her strategy won't be that interesting for the viewer.

BLUE fish. Oh, I thought about it for a second. This is also a cool strategy. Reduce your territory and keep Abyss on top of the final tech! Mmm-hmm.
