00114 Cursed One Digs Two Graves

“That old man is really dying. ”

“I think we should make a reasonable compromise. I owe the Neutral Party a debt this time. ”

It was a reasonable compromise. I talked about the alternative that I had prepared as if it were an instant flashback. Barbatos has rarely abandoned his hatred for the hearings, but there is little room in the yard where there is no material to persuade the neutrals. Eventually, my opinions were passed.

I looked at Marvas. The discussion is over. Marvas doesn't even look this way, but he gets up on his bed as soon as he looks up, making sure he's paying attention to me consistently.

“Everyone seems to enjoy the banquet. I'm happy to be the host. I ask you to allow me the honor of raising a toast here. To the Moon Blitz!”

“To the Moon Blitz! ”

I emptied the cup that the Demon Kings were holding at once.

The music naturally became smaller and smaller. The girls who were dancing naked slowly slipped out of the tent. Marvas must have sent them some kind of signal. I was amazed at the delicate planning of the Demon King, who specialized in politics.

“I want to keep the banquet with you forever. ”

Marvas looks at the Demon Kings one by one.

“Unfortunately, we are at war. The purpose of this banquet is to learn the facial features of those who have to go to war while aligning with their counterparts. In other words, the goal is war. ”

Marvas nods and gives me a strange picture in the middle of the banquet hall. A map of Bruno Plains is unfolding between the Demon Prince and the Humans. The First Battalion of the Monthly Armed Forces clearly indicated where the Sixth and Habsburg armies were stationed, the Brittany and each.

“A combined force of 140,000 humans. A total of 110,000 are in our monthly alliance. ”

Marvas said.

“In terms of troop quality, we have an overwhelming advantage. However, the Humans have participated in at least twenty-five wars. Many of them will be included. It's never a good battle. In this situation, if allies do not trust each other, they will be completely destroyed. Therefore, I request you as the host of the meeting and representative of the neutral party. I quit my job. Will you consider your proposal? ”

I got up from my seat.

“The 71st Dantalian, on behalf of the Pyongyang, It's true that we were actually threatened, regardless of the merits of the mountain tribes. To forgive this, you have to prove that the mountain tribes really had no intention of betrayal. ”

“Hmm."

Marvas nods.

“But how will you prove it? Insufficient evidence."

“You can create evidence that you don't have. Mountains!”

I stared at Pymon and Citri.

“Stand at the forefront of the upcoming Great War! Your struggle with the human army will prove loyal to the Demon King himself. ”

When I finished, Citri was chewing on the worm's face.

Standing at the forefront of battle does terrible damage. It's a battle between 200,000 troops in total, and the damage will be terrible. We were simply told to prove your innocence by blood.

“You bastard……. ”

“Please note that our offer is extremely generous. I did not ask for compensation from you, nor did I ask for an official department of the mountain tribes. just as they offered honor at the forefront of the Monthly Blind. ”

“Ha, honor? It's Dog Death!”

Citri was about to go crazy again. He's really good. But this is an offer I cannot refuse.

“I'll give you a heads up. There is no negotiation. Accept or not. It's a quantum chore. If they refuse our proposal, the Pyramids will immediately declare war on the mountain tribes. ”

It was not a lie. Barbatos was not naive enough to pass on what he had been attacked for. She wanted revenge even if the Moon Blind Force expedition failed. It was called the Face of the Organization.

Citri's expression became blurry.

“You are the ones who betray the Moon Mercenaries! ”

“Monthly Blind, Monthly Blind…… If you value the Monthly Blind so much, prove it by your actions. What the mountain tribes have done so far has clearly been against the interests of the Moon Blitz. No one trusts you if you keep your mouth shut. ”

I laughed.

“I don't want to go ahead and fight, and I talk about it for the Demon King's army...... If you think it's going to be profitable, it's a truce, so what are you doing? I really like your sales. I envy you.”

Assumptions are double-edged swords. A failed plot is a stunning one, like an arrow back to the shooter. Or at least an arrow that peels the skin off as it leaves the bows. A bullet that can kill an Advisor while the bullet bounces.

That's why the Preacher should always dig two graves. If you want to kill your opponent, you also have to be prepared to die. Pymon, do you think you're ready for that?

“When I see a small cub, I get very controversial." ”

“Wait.”

It was time for Citri to shout something. Pymon stands behind her. Citri looks frustrated, but she retreats quietly as Pymon stops her.

Then Pymon opened his mouth for the first time today.

“Dantalian, I accept your offer. ”

“Hey, sis!? ”

Citri was startled.

“Hold still....... are on the vanguard of the Moon Blind. That's how you can trust the innocence of our mountain tribe? ”

“Yes, it is. The Plains won't expect much reward for this in the future. I promise.”

“Okay, but I have a condition. ”

“Condition?”

Pymon nods.

“A war this big has a routine before it starts. One or two representatives go out and give speeches to demoralize their opponents and boost their morale. It's unnecessary for a surprise operation, but useful for a spin like this. ”

Ahh.

I see what it is. This is possible because there is magic in the world view of Dungeon Attack. Raises the delegate in an enormous hologram, amplifying her voice and giving a speech to the other party. Generally, I tell you how weak you are and how strong we are and why we have the cause of this war and you don't.

The protagonist was talented at this. Humankind, rise! Fight together! When the protagonist cries out, all the Humans respond. In the game, you throw a dice before the battle starts. The higher the dice scale, the higher the morale of your allies and the lower the morale. Buff effect, to put it simply.

The system of the game was implemented here as a "ritual." But what does that mean? I looked at Pymon with a dazzling gaze.

“You take the lead speaker, Dantalian. ”

“Yes?”

“That's the condition of our mountain tribe. We also have no compromise on this. ”

Pymon shuts his lips as if he had said everything he wanted to.

“ ……. ”

It was hard to comprehend. Why is it a condition to be a spokesperson? I asked for a moment, and spoke with Barbato. Because I was less anxious to decide for myself.

The sound of music echoes through the tent again. Now I realize that the sound of this music, as well as the effects of the secret conversations of people attending the banquet, was not heard around me. It was really marvas from one to ten.

“Maybe she made a magical vow to the Habsburg princess. I'm not sure.”

“Aha. That's why he can't declare war first. ”

I thought I could do that, according to Barbatos.

It was a pact with the tribe that had been at war for 2,000 years, whether it was the Empress or Pymon. You must have a fail-safe in some way. For example, if the opponent breaks their promise and attacks, they are cursed. Hmm. You haven't considered magic yet. Well, it doesn't matter that you don't know exactly what contract you signed....

“Then why me? ”

“He's trying to get back at you, you idiot. ”

Barbatos grows accustomed.

“So far, you've been conspiring behind the scenes. But in a battle like this, whip, whip, and declare war. Human, Mine or Dantalian, you'll remember your face. ”

“Shit. It's all behind us. ”

Understanding is hard to understand. On the condition that I avenge an individual? It's hard to erase the impression of being petty and childish, no matter how kind. Pymon failed not because I was dirty, but because I was wrong. I was just playing by his plan.

I sighed.

“Well... I can't help it. ”

“Oh, you want to take it? ”

“Declaring and giving speeches will do us no harm. ”

To put it bluntly, few humans know that I am the 71st Demon King Dantalian. No. Almost none, right? After I go to speak for the speaker, the price of the name will go up, but only that much.

People don't remember the longevity of the invaders. They don't remember the death of the invaders. A little notoriety, at best. No, I might have a say in the Demon King's army. In that sense, it's an honorable position.

I had an idea for a moment, but a good idea.

I finished my consultation with Barbato and gave him an answer.

“Very well. If the captains agree, I will gladly speak for the Monthly Blind." ”

The commanders easily agreed. It's because Marvas actively stepped up and asked for help. Blonde gummy bears didn't like anything, but at the end of the day, they reluctantly agreed. Perhaps Gamekin was unhappy that he had not stepped foot on the mountain tribe at this opportunity.

Negotiations are closed.

As a result, our plains forced the mountain tribe to take damage without one in their hands. The Neutral Party once again demonstrated the authority of its own faction by mediating the plains and mountain factions. The rest of the Unsubordinated Demon Kings prevented the Roaring or Mountains from taking control of the monsoon army alone. Finally, the mountain tribes took their innocence into account. Each faction had some satisfaction.

We agreed to go into battle as soon as possible. A massive force gathers. Combat was necessary to provide food, or human beings, smoothly.

The Demon Prince has reorganized a somewhat disorderly march. The first legions of the mountain tribes came first. The 2nd Troops of the Neutral Party, the 4th Troops of Batago and Balefore, and the 6th Troops of the Plain. The rest are in the rear. It takes two days to organize this march.

Meanwhile, the human army was orderly. The flag of the Frankish Empire is flying in the plains. The Human Forces seem to be at the forefront of the Frankish Empire. War is coming.

I was busy writing speeches for two days stuck in my barracks. After all, he was the ambassador who preached the dawn of the Great War. If you chew your tongue while talking, you'll immediately be laughing at the Humans and the Demon King's 200,000 troops. You should be ashamed!

“I think that's enough to prepare. ”

Laffith said, by the way, that's when she came to me, an employee of the Kunkusa Parliament and a dedicated merchant. It's been a long time since I've seen her pink hair for some reason. even though it's only been a couple of months.

“We didn't know how many times to prepare for it. ”

“Ha. I see. ”

She's been following my instructions, spreading rumors about the human system and the horse system, and sometimes using bribes to contact the head of the human army. In other words, it has been my hand and foot all over this place.

“King Pymon. He was also under contract with our council in Kunkusa, but he focused on gathering information about the Dantalian Empire. ”

“Huh? Me? ”

“Yes, it's been a month. ”

A month ago, it was a while ago. You've been gathering information about me ever since?

“…… Did he notice I was moving behind him? ”

“I didn't know that. ”

But, and Lapis said,

“Careful. His Holiness, the Demon King, has the highest rank. We may have hidden a number that we don't know about. ”
