Dungeon Defense (WN)

Citri frowned. He yells nonsense, but Python himself remains. You know the new generation is already this way. If you make excuses here, the game will only turn against you, and you may think so. Or is there a place we can trust?

Citri shouts.

“This is ridiculous! What, are we here to fight the plains? There you are. Yeah, Dantalian or something. I hear you've been struggling with that kind of plot. If you have proof, give it to me. ”

Oops, the arrowhead turns to me. You think I'm easier to deal with than Barbatos?

In the game or here, Citri was not a talented devil king. It was pure Mutufa. It seemed like I was a little shallow to such Mutufa.

The princes of the Demon Lord were also staring at this place in an interesting way. In fact, they moved because of my secret letter. Marvas is the only one among them who attended Valpurgis' night. In other words, it is now my debut as Dantalian.

Well, good. If Marvas is the host of this meeting, I am also the host of the shadow. I am obliged to entertain my guests as an owner. Let's put some fishing rice on it.

“Evidence will suffice. They send letters to the Pyramids from there, but they clarify things. ”

I waved the letter out of my arms as if to ask me to take it out.

“Negotiate a truce with the Humans, the arch-enemies of the Mahjong Dynasty, or I will strike... … This is treason everywhere." There will be no more evidence. ”

“Hm. That wasn't treason. ”

Citri laughed, saying that she knew it would happen.

“We only acted for the greater good. Lands that will be inhabited by the Magician will be available on the continent. That's our Demon King's physician. If there had been a truce, we could have occupied the North of Habsburg without a drop of blood! ”

“Without a drop of blood. ”

I was paralyzed. It wasn't smoke. I expressed my feelings exactly as my body felt.

“Whose blood is that? ”

“What?"

“I fought my way through the Black Mountains mountains, defeated Rosenberg Change Bag, and settled the North. Finally, you have overcome 50,000 Imperial forces. You don't think there was a drop of blood in the process. Thousands of Maine fell to the ground. ”

I got an arrow in my thigh in the Austerlitz battle, too. At least this earth was filled with my little blood drops.

“Citri, you mean 'we' in the mountains. There are no myriad people in the Sixth Armed Forces of the Monthly Blind. Before the Demon King sees the whole Moon Blind Army, he looks at one faction, and it's his job. This is absurd.”

I shrug. A few Demon Kings smile around you. Barbatos and Gamegin. The best sadists and marjohists of the Demon King's army. I seemed to favor perverts more than normal. The old word "Yooseong Jong" was also wrong.

“That's not what I meant! ”

Citri blushes. But that was it. I said no, but then I continued to make excuses. I sighed without knowing. This is why conversations are no fun.

At least Pymon was back there, staring this way without a care, and he really nearly killed me in Valpurgis' night. I would have been crushed if I didn't use some kind of trick to redirect Ivar Lothbrok with my game knowledge. I wish I could show you that much skill...... Was it too hard for Mutufa with muscle tone in his head?

“Anyway, there's no evidence in your claim! ”

“The mountain tribes and Habsburg have never spoken to each other. Is that what you mean?”

“Of course. Our mountain tribe acted solely for the sake of the mystic system. ”

I pretended that I was, uh, thinking.

“Then you hillbillies must think we're friends enough. Is that correct?"

“Of course. We're all in the same Moon Blind Army. ”

“Well, good. ”

I simply admitted it.

Citri blushed her eyebrows. You'd be suspicious if you retreated too easily, unlike when you attacked so vigorously in the beginning. However, I have already recovered excellent fishing rice. There, a large fish called a mountain phara was caught with its flesh full.

“I also hope the mountain tribes are innocent. But there's a problem. It's how others see it. ”

“Others?”

Citri's face became even worse.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Whatever its intentions, the mountain tribes threatened the plains. If the commanders here hadn't come, the Plains would have been totally destroyed. The Demon Lord and the Horseman Society already consider Pymon half a traitor. ”

“Ha? Who dares... ”

I hung up halfway.

“Garmigin. I'd like to ask you a personal question. Do you think Pymon and the mountain tribes betrayed the Demon King's army? ”

“Yes. I thought you betrayed me. ”

The blonde Gamygin was speechless, single.

“I'm sorry for being such a jerk. ”

“ ……. ”

“By the way, aren't there a few people who think they didn't betray you? Those kids who would stick their nose in the ground eventually were flat waves. What are you talking about for the Mages, anyway? You're cutting off the power of the Moon Mercenaries. ”

Citri has lost her words. Gamigine sent me a wink. I did good, right? Praise me! 'It was like seeing a giant golden fur puppy.

“Well, that's just it. Whether Citri admits it as evidence or not, the mountain tribes will be found guilty at the hearing. In this case, except for the plains and mountain tribes of the accused and the plains...... roughly twenty-five Demon Kings can attend the hearing. How many of them will believe in the noble, pure cause of the mountain tribe? ”

The Demon Kings are selfish. They never let go, and they never miss an opportunity to weaken their power. The mountain tribes will be found guilty of absolute vote discrepancy. Citri said in a slightly faint voice that she had noticed it.

“So if you don't ask for a hearing.... ”

“No. You said there was no evidence that the mountain tribes were guilty. I'll return the same. Do you have any evidence that the mountain tribes are innocent? ”

Citri failed to answer.

“Since we don't have any evidence on either side, let's split the vote at the hearing. Fair enough.”

“ ……. ”

The youngest is silent. Gamekin and Barbatos whisper quietly, but you hear them talking, as no one is talking.

“I like him! Can't I have it?”

“Piss off, Marjo. It's been 140 million years since I drooled. ”

“Hehe. Barbatos is too much. ”

...... Don't talk to me like I'm dealing with something else.

Marvas, the leader of the Neutral Party, sighs. He was a wonderful middle-aged man with wrinkles.

“Dantalian, Demon King of the Hidden. I think you have a point. But if it does, the mountain tribes and the plains will put a river between them that cannot be crossed forever. The mountain and plains are the 1st and 2nd hordes of the Demon King's army. Virtually the entire Demon King army is divided. ”

“Isn't it already rationed? ”

“There is a difference. Dantalian, everything in the world is a difference. ”

Marvas takes off his outer egg glasses and wipes them with a silk handkerchief.

“Should we go to war with humans, or should we turn back in time…… There is no absolute answer as to how we should act right. It depends on the situation and timing. But we don't know anything, even if we are immortals. It is not possible to accurately identify situations and times. ”

What to do, he asked.

“That's why we need factions. One side argues why war is right. The other side argues why war is wrong. They'll each gather the evidence they need to make their own claims. In doing so, our Demon Lord will have a holistic opinion and evidence. It's a kind of sprain. You see? The goal of a struggle is not a struggle. Struggle to achieve harmony. ”

“ ……. ”

It was a neutral remark. He was saying: Faction struggle is good. But it's too much to go on living after you die. Keep your distance.

“Birds that lose one wing eventually don't fly. If it was wrong for the mountain tribes to attack the plains, then perhaps it is also wrong for the plains to destroy them all now. I want an appropriate compromise. Of course, if the Pyramids are tolerant, the Neutrals will send aggressive support to them. ”

In other words, I will reward you politically and materially.

Hmm.

I originally had no intention of destroying the mountain tribe. Then it's only good for the humans. Although I am formally part of the plains, my ultimate goal everywhere is survival, plus conquest. In order to do that, the human and the magic system must have a proper balance of power.

The question was how to convince Barbato.

Perhaps if the hearings were held, the Neutrals would deliberately side with the mountain tribes. The Neutral Party would have offered to lead a close disagreement and come to a reasonable compromise at the end. I was going to persuade Barbato to say, 'Let's get out of here.'

But it is. …… Marvas has offered to compromise here at all. Sounds pretty convincing to me. I might be able to persuade Barbato.

I wondered how many people here would notice the nuance of Marvas' words, but at least I understood. It was difficult to expect the Neutral Party to support the hearing. … of the twenty-five Demon Monarchs who have the right to vote, the Neutral Tribe accounts for about 13. We need to take a step back from here.

I spoke calmly without a single eyebrow.

“I understand Marvas' point. The hearing, of course, is urgent. As you said before the Neutral Tribe was part of the Demon army, I was also the Demon King before the Plain Fire. ”

In fact, Marvas never said that the Neutral Party was a member of the Democratic Army before Neutral Fire. Nevertheless, the reason for making up words without me was extremely political.

First, if you just hear 'an urgent matter as well as a hearing,' you put the words of diplomatic speech in front of you. Place the word "hearing" in front of you as if it were a traffic sign, followed by context.

In this way, I understand that the Neutral Party will attend the hearing, considering the position of the entire Demon King Army.

On the surface, words that appear to simply confront the other person's words and in the context make a great political deal. Marvas is a great man who has mediated between the mountain tribes and the plain for over a thousand years. This nuance should be easy to understand.

It's different.

Marvas the Demon King likes 10 more.

I remembered the info window when the sound of the effect rang. Marvas was satisfied that his physician had been adequately delivered and also received what he wanted.

“Of course, the wrong side is mountain pie. No doubt about it. I only wanted to cool down the excessively heated atmosphere as the host of this meeting. It won't be too late to talk about the hearing soon. ”

What can I say? I didn't hate the devil king. Because I cared about the Flat Wave, I cut the wrong side of the mountain tribe and nailed it, and I sowed the phrase "I wanted to cool off" to hide the context of the conversation between the two of us.

This is how you face your opponent and hide your talk, then look. He naturally added, 'The hearing will take place shortly.' He told me to talk to Barbatos and come.

“Well, first of all, I'd like to welcome you to my invitation. ”

Marvas claps lightly.

Then, a beautiful woman and a handsome man appeared in a group of tents and danced slowly. Bare skin glows with oil. Some of them were dressed and some were naked, but they seemed to have a variety of tastes. There are a lot of people in the world who like silver.

The musicians beyond the tent raised the sound of music excitedly. Apart from Pymon and Citrus, the Demon Kings enjoyed the banquet in a cheerful manner. I enjoyed this lavish feast and exchanged whispers with Barbato.

“What do I do? Call a hearing, or what? ”

“What are you talking about? Of course I do.”

Hmm. Barbatos has not caught up with what he was talking about earlier. I explained it quietly, and Barbatos muttered.

“Oh, fuck. ”

With a smile on your face. I was managing my face because I didn't want the two of us to reveal what we were having.
