Dungeon Defense (WN)

The office is quiet. The temperature seems to have dropped.

You hear a loud laugh outside the window. I opened my window and looked down, and saw Veled holding a drunken feast in the palace courtyard with some of the Demon Kings. Brother Veled waved his hands a lot to see if he could feel my gaze. I waved my hands with a smile.

Beyond the wall, the low hillside fir fields and the red soil sunset day by day were endlessly lazy. I locked my whiskey and looked out the window for a while. There was some kind of immortality that stopped in nature. The laughter of the banquet pulls it long.

“Captain Pymon will betray the magic system. We attack our own kind. Wouldn't the Neutral and Unaffiliated Demon Monarchs be furious even if they weren't plains? ”

“Creating a cause is simple. The Mage has already suffered 2,000 years of failed expeditions. There are very few mannequins who question the Moon Blind Army, or the Demon King himself. ”

Ivar Lothbrok was a leading example. She is the owner of the Kunkusa Merchant Guild and a true vampire. She is deeply disappointed in the Demon Kings' realities. Eventually, Ivar betrayed the Demon King's army. I've committed to the mercenaries led by the warriors. There must be only one Mage who's been educated by the Demon Kings.

“If there is no hope of success, what is the quest for? Every time the Moon Blind Army fails, thousands of Orcs, Ogres, and others die. The Demon Kings have been gambling with her life as collateral...... There must be such anxiety. ”

It was no coincidence that the mountain tribes became the Demon King's greatest faction after defeating the plains. The soybeans of the mountain tribe were also reflective of the trends in Mahjong society. Let's live with the moderate compromise of human species - that kind of warmth is now strong enough to waste her life and military funds in vain.

“In this situation, the plains and the third princess join hands. The Pyeongwon clan wholeheartedly accepts the offer of a truce from the Third Empress and the Third Empress acknowledges the territory occupied by the Horseman's army within the Habsburg Empire. Do you know what that means? This ensures that the Demon King will conquer a certain territory, even if it cannot conquer the continent. ”

Conquest of a hopeless continent or a sure conquest of territory.

I didn't have to ask which one I would prefer in the horse society. The Mahjong Society was clearly exhausted from the 2,000-year-old expedition. If I can achieve visible results right away, I will gladly applaud Pymon's throne. 'The Demon King won Silly more than the old excuse.' That's what Pymon will be praised for.

I smiled.

“This is the first moon blindness in 2,000 years. That's why I'm afraid of Pymon. It wasn't actually Pymon fighting blood. We are the Plains, and Pymon gained all of his labor just by making a deal with a third princess. War is a slander. I fear one man's tongue more than a hundred fists. ”

“…… Commander Barbatos won't stand by and watch. ”

I shook my head.

“What if I don't keep my eyes open? Laura, we once discussed the heavenly people ( ) as an element of war. Legion 6 is behind all three factors compared to Legion 1. ”

First, there is a rationale. The sixth legion has only the old rationale of conquest, while the first legion can actually achieve the goal of leading the magicians to the continent. If the former is just an excuse, the latter is the same as Silas.

Next. If things go according to Pymon's scenario, the 6th legion will be surrounded back and forth. By the 1st Legion and the 3rd Empress. The more disadvantaged the situation, the more agitated the minds of the territorial people will be, and they will revolt everywhere in order to be seen by the owners who will take over the land later. It is a three-sided candle followed by self-contained eggs. I can't win.

Finally, the human dimension. The 6th Legion of the Plains had 18,000 troops. After fighting the Emperor's Imperial Army, the troops will drop sharply. On the other hand, the 1st legion, the strongest in the Demon King's army, had 30,000 troops. Here, an army of Third Daughters is added. The plains are forced to fight an enemy that is at least three or four times over.

Results are self-explanatory.

“We'll be surrounded and exterminated.... ”

Laura sighs. I nod.

“If the commander refuses the ceasefire agreement and enters the final decision, there will be more blame by the manager. I'm missing out on the best chance of gaining territory on the continent." ”

Pymon will tell you with false tears. We fight against our own kind, sad and sad, but we march for a greater cause. Let's risk our tragedies for the horror of the kingdom, comrades...

As a result, the plains are annihilated. A mountain tribe occupies the northern Habsburg Empire. The mountain tribe is reborn as the only great force in the Demon Lord's army. Then even the Neutral Party and the Unsubordinated Demon King will be led to the mountain tribe, the Opinion leader.

Pymon is ranked 9th and will dominate the Demon King army substantially. Absolute defeat by the mountains. That's the goal here…… Pymon was quite a man, except for the disadvantage of trusting his people too much.

“It's a serious situation. ”

Laura said somewhat urgently.

“You look immobilized. What are you going to do?”

“Well, let's take a swing at Pymon's ruse. ”

“... Joo. ”

Laura narrows her eyes. I meant it.

Winning the war without having to fight, it was truly a brilliant plan. Barbatos' style was completely different from what he believed was a war gathering. To be honest, I liked Pymon's style better than Barbato's. That way you can be nasty, nasty, quiet, and unforgivable.

Oops, Laura's eyes darken. This seemed like the end of the joke. I said with a smile.

“There's only one thing left for our sixth legion. We accept the Queen Dowager's ceasefire agreement. We must stop fighting the Habsburg Empire at once. We intercept the cause that Pymon was originally trying to get. ”

“Hmm."

Laura wraps her fingers around her side head. It was a habit that came out when she was worried.

“I see. Is it the 6th legion, not the 1st legion, that occupies the Habsburg North, and thus gains the support of the Mainstream Society...? Not bad." ”

“You won't be happy with the plains shouting Continental Punishment. Well, I'll tell you plains to learn how to be satisfied with the world. ”

Typically, Earl Barbatos Rory was too greedy. She was a person who didn't get anything or gain anything. I needed to live wiser.

“Captain Pymon will get nothing. ”

“No. Even if our 6th Company agrees to a truce, Pymon has nothing to lose. ”

“Why?”

“Why do you think that is? ”

I asked her again. Laura touches her golden hair.

A moment later, she opens her eyes wide.

“ ……! The Kingdom of Tuton! ”

“That's right.”

I knew it. I felt like I was talking to Laura. It gave me all the questions and answers I wanted. I had to have Laura's insight in order to feel the right amount of tension for the conversation. What would be interesting is a one-sided discussion.

“The 1st Company benefits greatly just by marching north to Habsburg. In order for the 1st Legion to advance into the Kingdom of Tuton, we must break through the Black March defensive node as our 6th Legion did. However, the 1st Army uses the pre-breached passageway to cross the Black Mountains without a drop of blood. Above all……. ”

She was excited and said.

“If the truce is successful, the 1st Legion will invade the Kingdom of Tuton by turning the numbers as it were. To the southern side of the Kingdom of Tuton, where the Demon Warlord's Node is completely unprepared! Squad 1 will put the entire Tuton Kingdom in your hands if you do well! ”

I nodded softly in the sense that I agree.

Yes. As Pymon, even if the 6th legion refused the truce agreement, that was enough. If they refuse, they join forces with the Third Empress to annihilate the sixth legion and occupy the northern Habsburg.

If you agree, we will reverse course and invade Tuton Kingdom. Traditionally the Habsburg Empire and the Kingdom of Tuton were friends, and Tuton did not take much action on the border to Habsburg. It was a major invasion by the First Legion. The Kingdom of Tuton will be badly ravaged.

As a result, the first legion that occupies an entire kingdom will build a much greater airforce than the sixth, which only occupied a corner of the Habsburg Empire. The position of the mountain tribes is even more enlightened.

Not only that, the faction that led the ceasefire pact with the Third Empress is not just the Flatlands, but the mountain tribes. The Pyongyang clan later acknowledged the agreement. Even the plains will suffer the mountain tribe's triumph. No matter how we behave, Pymon benefits. Barbatos' defeat...... is a huge failure with no room for excuses.

Laura emptied her whiskey in a heartbeat. She is a little, but her shoulders are trembling.

“Is this a strategy? ”

“Yes, it's war. ”

A victorious army must be the first to win and then to fight... In essence, it was no different from the forced battle against the 70 Leaf Adventure Party. Laura has broken down the Leaf Adventure Force by dividing the mountain villages into allies and allies.

The 6th Army was tasked with piercing the Black March and defeating the Change Bag. The user simply looks at the target as an enemy. Pymon is different. She carefully examines the affairs of the Habsburg Empire to distinguish between who will become an ally and who will become an enemy. So, I made a plan to make sure that whatever the 6th Army did was in the best interest of the allies.

The forerunner acts first, and the forerunner prevails.

“…… the girl seems to have suddenly grown up watching the war. ”

“Congratulations. Please grow up. ”

“However, there is a huge hole in the whole country, described by the Lord. It is the Lord.”

She chucks, and pushes the whiskey over here.

“No one in the 6th Legion could understand the situation except for the Lord. No, no one in the 1st Legion knows about this except Pymon. Here, the Lord noticed. Depending on how the Lord behaves, the judgement will change. Nevertheless, the Lord does not report this to anyone, but pours a glass alone. What does the Lord want? ”

“ ……. ”

I poured whiskey into Laura's glass expressionlessly. The cup filled up quickly. I didn't grab the whiskey. The drink overflows and the line falls to the floor. I poured the whiskey until the bottle was empty.

“There's only one thing I want. It's an obstacle. ”

“I...? ”

“Laura, take a wider look. Feel louder. The commander of the First Battalion of the Monthly Blind Army makes a pact with the Third Empress of the Habsburg Empire, joining the commander of the sixth Battalion. Don't you see what this means? ”

I smiled small.

“The Demon King is about to enter the international politics of the continent. So far, Mine and Humans have been nothing but enemies. And all of a sudden, we know that Mine and Humankind may or may not cooperate. The War of Races is now over. Mine and human beings, not as races, but as individuals, come to a comprehensive crossing based on their own interests. ”

Laura's delicate lips open. I felt a shock in her breath. Apparently, she realized it too. I said, the joy is overwhelming.

“All hail, Laura! There will be an unprecedented setback. The cause of tribal fame disappears behind the scenes, and only for their own power, their own interests, and their own beliefs will be fought against all. Can you still hear me? A whole new era is coming! ”
