Dungeon Defense (WN)

“I don't know what you're talking about. Monsieur Bernar.”

“How dare you insult me? Ha. With the love of Barbatos, you're very generous. ”

I purposely put a pseudonym in my mouth, and Lerazier frowned. Instead of apologizing for her rudeness, she was angry because she caught her saying she didn't know.

“The stench of rotten pig intestines. Isn't that your hubris? I had some fun in Habsburg, and if Frank thought so, it would be a foolish mistake, young Demon King. There is no Demon King's sanctuary and no Black Mountains! ”

“So I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Lerazier's energy was fierce. The eyes on this side of the fence trembled. If I hadn't confronted so many high ranking Demon Kings, I would have fallen on my knees right now.

“Your Highness. As you pointed out, I'm young, and I don't know much. But I know just as much as the truth. ”

But I thought the body would roll its tongue regardless of the feeling of fear. It was like a lifetime of fighting kings in the national era.

“Habsburg or Frank, wherever that is, the Demon King is the Demon King, and humans are humans. ”

“What?"

“The Demon King is the enemy of Humankind, and the Demon King is... the enemy of the Demon King, right?" ”

Lerazier's impression was even more crumpled.

I was just smiling like a decent young man.

“I was looking forward to meeting you at Leraj, I confess. The other Demon Kings of the Plains were somewhat ignorant of Leraj. But I thought differently. Disrupting the rear of the enemy in war is a fundamental law of war. It's basic, but it's basic. ”

“ ……. ”

“No one wants to do it. Nevertheless, someone must do it. It's inconspicuous, and it's not even a major. This is the kind of mission His Majesty, King Lérazia, undertook. You must be true to the Demon King's natural duties and dedicated to the Moon Blind Army…… I thought so. ”

The more I spoke, the more he became silent. I felt that his grades had cooled to this point.

“But I was rather disappointed that you showed me today. What is it, your passion for human culture? Humans are our enemies. ”

“Hmph.”

Lerazier snorts. I was cool. I felt like that.

“Nowadays, I thought he was just a 'Demon King'... to break his name. ”

Leraj takes the wine out of the crate on the wagon. You uncork the cork with your bare hands and blow the bottle-neck right off.

“A simple Demon King? ”

I said it more fluently.

“You've been saying things you don't understand. ”

“That means you're no fun, little Demon King. I take the sunlight of seriousness and cast out all the subtle shadows and shadows of the world, and I bore and bore all things under the guise of cleaning. This is why my friends in the Plains hate my enemies. ”

Anger has been gone for a long time. Leraj despised me.

He said it like an old man not to fit in his young appearance. The handsome man spoke in an old tone, which created a peculiar charm. In front of him was the air of the young man and the old wise man.

“Don't ask me a question. ”

Lerazier laughs and says.

“You have not plundered the lands of Brandenburg, but have pledged the safety and freedom of its people. It was an idea that I couldn't even imagine if I just thought of humans as enemies. Why did you do that?”

“Sookwon is a place for private emotions. ”

I responded as if it were natural.

“Killing a man in Brandenburg would cheer you up right now, but the day of the continental scourge will be far from here. For the sake of our aspirations, I can endure as much human filth as I want. ”

“Khh. Our aspiration.... ”

Lerazier takes a big sip of wine.

“It's been a long time since I've seen such a flat wave. Barbatos is a breeding ground. Wouldn't he be happy to have a howling son of a bitch instead of him? ”

I took my smile off my face and seriously spoke my voice.

“… Your Highness Lerazy. I'm sorry, are you criticizing the commander? ”

“Kuhahaha!”

Lerazier bursts into laughter.

“And he's loyal to his master! What a shame. Why weren't you so dazed in front of Barbatos? Heheh. I can see that Habsburg was cut off by a man like you in the middle of the continent. ”

“ ……. ”

“Come. I see why Barbatos sent you to me. The Barbatoans must have been frustrated because their heads were spinning like children. ”

Lerazier now looked at me with half contempt and half sympathy. Contempt and compassion, it meant the other person looked down on me perfectly.

I smiled in my heart.

‘It worked.’

In the last few years, I've been dealing with fierce and wicked Demon Kings. Persuading and convincing others wasn't the only thing that was strong in taxation.

Speech has tactics and strategy. Even if you lose a battle, you win a war. I don't need to impress my opponent. It's okay if you don't get favored by the other party.

Postpone typical craziness. He seems like a foolish and short-sighted person. The other person simply convinces him, 'This is the same person.'

This way.

“You said Dantalian. Have you ever stayed in a human city for a full day? ”

“…… No. No, I don't.”

“Khhh. I've never seen such a foolish clown play, bragging that I would exterminate mankind without facing the full moon." I thought you said you were going to climb mountains you've never seen. ”

-The opponent mistakenly thinks he stands in the way.

The opposing Pokémon no longer need to search this direction. I think the scouting is over.

He doesn't think it's strong enough to be vigilant, but he thinks it's okay to ignore it. Exposure to a completely psychologically defenseless condition.

Of course it shouldn't end here.

“… Your Highness Lerazy. It is not important for the current country. ”

“Great nation? Did you just say great nation? Heheheh. How much like my childhood. ”

Lerazier smiles as the wine spills.

“I'm still interested because the arrows I used to shoot without thinking are now stuck in my heart upside down. Isn't it worth seeing when a guy who doesn't even know himself discusses a great nation? Fine. Let's discuss the Great Kingdom. ”

“As you know, our Demon Lord is once again in peril. ”

I told him, expressing a mood of resentment for Lérazier, but barely tolerated. Leraj was also laughing at the mouth of the attendants to see if he had noticed it.

Maybe it looks like a child is struggling. From Leraj's point of view, nothing could be more pleasant.

He is struggling alone in his own backyard. In the middle, a new arriving Demon King, who has never heard of it, has become famous. I looked at him, and I saw that humans are evil, that the devil is good, and that they believe in a very childish dichotomy.

One of the youngsters...... feels like he's laughing at the whole center by laughing at me, mixed up with the unexplained frustration he's had about the center.

In the apparent majors, he is clearly pushed to the center. However, the Demon King himself is far superior.

The center is not great. Luck is also the result of the 8th Monthly Blindness Army...... It will be comforted unconsciously.

I said with a serious look.

“King Barbatos and the Phalanx conquered Habsburg in sweat, but the rest of the Demon Kings desperately demanded a territorial split. It is impossible to compromise on the postponement of His Holiness. So the Moon Blind Force expedition doesn't just lead to the scheme of the Human vs. the Demon Prince. ”

Lerazier drinks wine and spills over here.

“The problem lies with the Humans. We have to be careful. that the human army had teamed up with an abomination called Pymon earlier. The Humans and Pymon worked together to set a trap to wipe out our plains…… ”

I asked him for it. I feel angry just by mentioning Pymon's name. It was a stunning act even for me.

“What does this mean? Humans and the Demon King can join hands as much as they want for their own benefit. Especially now that the Demon Prince has broken up inside. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“While the Demon King is divided, his alliance with the Humans is still intact. Now, if the Demon Kings bring in human forces to harm their own kind, then only humans will benefit. Your Grace, the Moon Blitz will fail again. ”

Lerazier intervenes.

“So, what do you have to do to stop the lunar army from failing? ”

“The task is to unite the Demon Prince. If so, we have no choice but to make our enemies the same as our allies. Your Grace, we must divide the human race. ”

“How can you divide the human world again? ”

Lust fades from Lerazier's eyes.

He gradually thought I was more than just a 'thin god'. It must have been revised to 'a thin but well-rounded god.'

“The next country on the continent to Habsburg is, of course, Frank. Satan looks down on us, and just when Frank is surrounded by the energy of civil war, ”

“Empress Dowager has no intention of battle with the Emperor. ”

Lerazier insists.

“A mother would kill her son. ”

“But the Emperor's mind is different... isn't it?" ”

“ ……. ”

Lerazier puts down the bottle of wine.

By now, my impression of me had changed to 'a thin but well-thought-out god, with limited intelligence.' I was leading it.

“Civil war happens. The question is, how far do we expand this civil war? It doesn't just end with the Republicans fighting. We need to incite Frank's people. ”

“Encourage the people? ”

“The plague, famine, and even the lord... The foolish human vines won't last much longer." ”

Lerazier touches his head with his hands. It seemed like a habit to be revealed when I was lost in thought. Okay, let's keep that in mind.

“What do you mean, the lord has failed his own duties? ”

“Simple. I lead a group of trusted mercenaries. Lead the army and attack the territory by His Majesty Leraj. At that time, we will respond from the inside. ”

“Hm. So you're saying you're going to take the territory after all. It's not worth the effort. The Demon King is the enemy of all mankind. There will be less than a bill for a civil war. ”

I shook my head.

“No, on the contrary. Pardon me, Your Highness, but you must be dismissed. ”

“What?"

“Only to my mercenaries, not the lord's army. ”

I told you.

“The lord cannot afford the army of the Demon King defeated by mercenaries. Whereas there is almost no damage to the area protected by mercenaries, there is considerable damage to the territory protected by the Lord. There will be no shortage of trust in the lord. ”

“ ……. ”

“If my mercenaries were to leave the territory...... Can you imagine what would happen to the people who were so grieved about the lord?" ”

Lerazier is silent.

He rubs his head for a long time, then opens his mouth.

“Tsk, indeed. I'm sorry, but I'm sure you're good at this. ”

“…… I'm flattered. ”

I replied indiscriminately. He was called "child," and he said he felt bad. Of course, the heart was the opposite. It didn't matter if I thought he was a child.

I don't even care if you think I'm stupid. I can endure insults. What difference does it make if we say trash is rubbish? All you have to do is enjoy my well-dressed meal.

It's good to have a psychological advantage, and it's good to have a goal. No one is harmed. Win-win.

Everyone is happy just because one of me abandons his ego. It's not a great business.

However.

My heart was cold.

As I do now, I cheat and humiliate more powerful people than I am, so every time I just took my place, something became increasingly worn out. It was the angle of the heart.

So I need Laura and Lapis. You don't need to act. You need to be with someone. When I get back, they'll be happy to say they did a good job...... That was enough. I acted strangely like a child.

In terms of writing, "human" means human, but "human" means both human and human. because they're the same as humans and minds in that they live a life.
