00091 King and General

The sound of the quill running through the paper rings faintly in the office.

I dared to stick a pen in the ink bottle and write in bold black. How forcefully the tip of the pen runs. The document was, of course, written in a language I had never learned, Habsburg and the Ancient Empire. The meaning was understood naturally. From reading to writing, I used free materials to speak the language of this world. If I had been reborn as a human instead of a Demon King, I might have acted as a diplomat.

“The lord and commander determined that Pymon was plotting a roadkill plot. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

I checked the documents and replied.

“The prudent-looking scheme of Pymon has a not-so-substantial angle. ”

“Oh.”

“The 6th battalion confronts the Humans at Habsburg. Whereas the First Company of the Mountains opposes the Humans to the Kingdom of Tuton and the Republic of Batavia. Pymon's aim here at the Homicide will not weaken Tuton and Batavia's forces, even if the Habsburg Empire is weakened. ”

The force of the 1st Army is still intact, so what the hell is the road kill for… Laura was saying.

“Well, didn't they just aim to weaken the power of our sixth legion? ”

“The attitude of the 1st Legion is too sloppy. ”

Laura insists.

“They haven't even set sail yet. Anyone who is a bookkeeper can hide his tricks. If Captain Pymon is only after weakening the Sixth Legion, he is being overly blatant. The 1st Legion was able to march into the Black Mountains and battle...... This is also fighting hard with the Humans, not acting selfishly, he must have taken the cause. ”

Pymon doesn't move at all. Nowadays, Mahjong society has criticized Pymon and the mountain tribes fiercely. Those who behave selfishly even when their own people are fighting for blood.

“Why do you want to blame yourself? Isn't Pymon's intention somewhere else? I've been stuck so far for some reason...... I have to be right about that. ”

“That's funny.”

I made fun of the collar with my gaze fixed on the document. It was a document to convert Veled and Zephyr as barons under the backpack.

In accordance with the official format of the Empire, one Earl and two Barons were born. I even got blood from the village chiefs. It is written that the Demon Lord Veled and the Demon King Zephar will be found as rightful lords.

“Then I'll ask the question. What do you think Pymon's true intentions are? ”

“Indeed, there is a simple solution. Just as there are plains and mountain factions in the Demon King's army, the Habsburg Empire is also rivaled by internal groups. The Lord pointed out at the last meeting. They have prejudices against each other, whether they're the Demon Prince or the Humans. There are many conflicts of interest in a large group and many factions conflict……. ”

I've put down my collar pen.

The paperwork was quite interesting. I felt the paperwork was in order. Even though I was just writing letters using rhetoric in accordance with the format, I felt something I was proud of. Strangely, I felt a similar pleasure as when deceiving people. The documents are also a kind of lie in that they are even more glamorous than the original position. If I had been born a human in this world, I would have become a moderate middle-manager and just played with paperwork...... It was a shame. The Demon King was right for rotten Loricon, not for my pure nature.

“Laura, do you like whiskey? ”

“Whatever the Lord gives you. ”

I took the whiskey and glass out of the drawer. It was cold stuff from von Rosenberg's storage room. Whether the change bag was an alcoholic or not, there was a pile of rare liquor in the warehouse instead of treasure. Most of them were taken by Barbato, who was blinded by the storeroom's vision, but I was able to intercept about four bottles. I gave Laura a glass and poured it into her drink.

“Cheers."

“To Dantalian. ”

My glasses trembled with joy. A breath of ink permeated the whiskey's poisonous scent. I wet my tongue with alcohol. The skull seems to be cracking open.

“De Farnese is the Duke of Sardinia. Laura, who grew up there, probably knows what kind of internal situation the Habsburg Empire was in. Isn't that right?”

“Yes. I had no great interest in politics, but it was possible for a girl's family to recognize the politics of the continent just by being cute." ”

Don't the Demon Kings feel that thanks to you, they've got a good angle.

I felt delighted for some reason. I could feel his voice rising. I am now somewhat accustomed to bipolar symptoms that make me feel down and up easily. There was no Demihuman here that I could read my emotions from now on. This feeling of pleasure was entirely my emotion. Then it wasn't bad…….

Laura slashed her throat with whiskey and said:

“The Habsburg Empire is currently on its way down. Anyone would agree to that. Despite the fall, the empire is fiercely contested by three successors of the imperial and absolute monarchy. ”

The Crown Prince and the First Prince of Natural Resurrection. The second prince, the second son. Finally, the third daughter and the third daughter of a concubine. Originally, the emperor had four sons and three daughters, but all but three died. Officially, it was announced that he died of infectious diseases and accidents, but there were quite a few people who believed in it. Most people believed that the royal families had been sacrificed in the struggle.

That was also the truth.

There is a route in the game that makes Princess Elizabeth a hero. This scenario is called the true hero Ruth among gamers, where the protagonist becomes the lover of the warrior and the third princess and conquers the continent. Later in the scenario, Princess Elizabeth confesses.

‘The third brother and the man who killed his brother are women. ’

The Queen Elizabeth smiles, standing by the window with the moonlight shining. It's a well-known game scene.

‘At that time, she was only thirteen years old. When I was thirteen, I killed my brother and brother with my own two hands, covered in blood. And then he disguised himself as an accident. Isn't she a wicked woman? If the devil were not a parasite, how could the girl have done something so man-made? ’

‘It may be the Devil who killed the Crown Prince. But in front of me right now, is a woman who mourns that she was destined to live a cursed life. ’

It is natural that the third princess was overtaken by the main character's lines. Afterwards, such scenes continue. In addition, the first princess and the second princess were raped and killed because they could not bear the humiliation. On the other hand, I was handed over by my father and my brother, the emperor and the emperors.

It must be the imperial court that slaps drama.

The Habsburg Empire has rotted since imperial times. Faction fights were fierce. The third princess reunites the citizens of the prime minister and regenerates the empire from its roots…… This is also the main scenario of Dungeon Attack. At this point, the protagonist adds to the empress's power. The public supports the warrior who subjugates the Demon King, and the warrior supports the Empress, so the public supports the Empress. In a bad way, the protagonist is just a sign for propaganda.

Well, it may not matter if it ends in a happy ending, but that happy ending is going to happen 15 years from now. Moreover, in this world, even Irregular countries have interfered. The princess asked me to make a happy ending.

Laura spreads her two fingers.

“The girl knows that the majority of the Habsburg empire's military is held by the Crown Prince. The central army is divided into the Huang Dynasty and the Huang Dynasty, but the change bags absolutely support the Crown Prince. If so, the girl guessed. ”

My blue eyes stared straight at me.

“Perhaps Captain Pymon has some sort of alliance with the Third Empress. ”

“ ……. ”

“If the girl's guess is correct, it is clear that the central force joining the armies of the Change Bags now is not a princess, but a force supporting the Crown Prince. ”

I tilted my whiskey glass without confronting him.

“Here's what the Crown Prince thinks: Combining the Central and Modified forces creates 50,000 waterborne armies. 50,000 Imperial troops would be optimistic they would not be defeated by one army of the Moon Mercenaries. Once we are certain of victory, we will thoroughly dismiss the Empress in command. Of course, the Crown Prince wants to take on the army alone. ”

“Well. Destroying the Demon King's army alone would shake the whole world." ”

“Yes, the nobles and the people are united to support the Crown Prince. She quickly beat the third princess in the yellow race and took the lead. For the Crown Prince, this month's invasion will not be a crisis, but a golden opportunity. ”

I saw the liver on purpose.

“An interesting guess. That sounds reasonable, but there's no evidence. We can't rule out our sixth legion by speculation alone. ”

“I expected the Lord to say so. ”

Laura pulls the scroll out of her arms.

“A list of Habsburg Central Army generals who are joining the Change Force. The name of the third princess is not written anywhere. ”

“…… When did you get this information? ”

“Since the last time, the Lord commanded Captain Barbatos to put the humans ahead of him. ”

She smiles.

“At that time, I already felt the Lord acting suspiciously. Even if the militia were to surrender to our Demon King, they would not serve the Demon King sincerely. Minho will betray us in an instant, even if a slight crisis strikes. It was truly strange! The girl knows that the Lord is wicked, wicked, cowardly and weak. ”

I smiled bitterly.

“It's an unbelievable saying that loyalty is in your mouth. ”

“No, it's a compliment. Being abbreviated, being abbreviated, I sense more thoroughly what is approaching danger than anyone else. The Lord will abandon such a force that can provoke rebellion at any time from behind. The master has an animal sense of danger and bites the opponent who threatens him. The advice the Lord gave to Captain Barbatos is not like the Lord himself. ”

Oops. Laura has always been straightforward, making people look great.

“Well, maybe so. ”

“Here's what the girl thinks. The Crown Prince took over the military, even if he wanted to take the lead in the imperial succession. Captain Pymon, on the other hand, teamed up with the Third Empress. There is only one goal. If the Empress's expedition is annihilated by our sixth legion, the Third Empress intends to mount a coup. ”

I have whiskey again. It was delicious. Well, it was definitely a different expensive drink. I'm gonna have to get a few more bottles from Barbatos.

“The third princess shall declare as soon as she raises the coup. The newly emerging Habsburg Empire has no hostility to the Moon Blind Army and offers to cease fire for the war-torn militia immediately. Captain Pymon responds as all humans and Maine are confused on the continent. ― ― I, Pymon, the ninth Demon King, accept a ceasefire request from the newly created Habsburg Empire on behalf of the entire Moon Alliance. ”

Laura said in a theatrical tone. It went well.

“Lord, what will happen to our sixth legion? ”

“The First Army, the Habsburg Empire, will be surrounded on both sides. ”

My mouth slipped up.

“Laura, that's great. You've caught up with my reasoning. That's right. It's not her laziness or stupidity that the captain of the PYMON First Squad hasn't been on the ground so far. Slowly, like a jackal, waiting for the moment. ”

“Then the 1st Legion's destination is not towards the Kingdom of Tuton. ”

“Yes.”

I raised the glass.

“The 1st Legion's destination is here. The Habsburg Empire. Pymon intends to unite with the Empire and besiege our forces. ”
