Dungeon Defense (WN)

Vitemier left work early in the long run.

Early was when I told him to leave on time. This young man was so sincere, rumors spread all over the government just because he was sincere.

“The general feeling of insomnia. ”

People revered it and called it that.

Literally Vitemier didn't sleep. I went to work earlier than anyone else and always left later than everyone else. Even the on-call officials had never seen him stand up to leave work.

Vitemier of the Magistrate never sleeps, he watches everything with the loyal watchdog of Minerva and President Elizabeth…… like a rumor about ghosts.

Such Wittenmeyer left work on time.

There was a huge commotion in the barrel.

“We must have done something wrong! ”

“You're blaming our lazy bureaucrats without a word...! ”

“Everyone, don't even think about going home. Today we are all working late. ”

The guards nod with a splendid look on their faces.

Just on time and on time, I made all the administrative power go to work. It was a moment when a new legend emerged in the government of Habsburg. Wittenmeyer, who had no idea how great his accomplishments were, went to a bar…….

“Hey, Baron Magistrate! This is it!”

As soon as I walked through the door, someone shouted. A group is already occupying a corner of the bar. After checking that side, Vitemier sighed and walked away.

“General Schlairmacher, how many times have you told me? I am no longer the baron. I have forsaken the title of nobility for a long time. ”

“Oops. I did, I did. I've forgotten enough. Haha.”

“Please be careful in the future. ”

Kurzschleigh smiles faintly.

Watching it, Vitemier sighs again. This Kurz guy was sure he was competent, but somehow he couldn't get along. It wasn't just because it didn't fit my personality. I felt a little out of sync with myself in a more fundamental way.

I wish it were just a feeling... … and Vitemier sits on the table. Soon after, a toast was made to the glass.

“Isn't it the first time these five people have been together since the dry season? ”

“Well, I guess so. My memory isn't very reliable. ”

“Yes, you can trust my memory, Foreign Secretary. ”

“Call me Hadelberg. Nothing pleases a beauty more than a name. ”

On the table were Kurz, Wolfram, Charles and Yuria.

Five, including Wittenmeyer. They were all on the side of Queen Elizabeth's side. Knowing that they had met in one place, there were at least hundreds of people who would fall to fear and fear. Nowadays, there were only five of them and the owner of the bar.

Commander of the Presidential Guard Kurzschleigh Maher. Wolfram Hadelberg Foreign Office. Charles Richhofen, head of the Crisis Squad. Yuria's first secretary. Last but not least, Maximilian Vitemier shot...

All the realities of the Republic have come together. It was not unusual to simulate a coup right away. If they tell us to kill someone here, the next day the man will be found in the gutter as a cold corpse.

“It's already been a month. I don't believe it. ”

Yuria takes a sip of wine and says: She, a beauty, seems to have some magical power in her voice, and there is a corner that draws people's ears even as she talks.

“Ah. Too soon to say a month. Honestly, I still don't feel organized.... ”

“Is that so? Hadelberg, I don't find our Knights very busy. ”

“I've never been more envious of soldiers, Captain Charles. If only I could hold a sword instead of a fan, I'd make an alliance with the Demon Prince right away. ”

Wolfram Hadelberg smiles bitterly.

“It's hard enough having relations with one country, and I'm having neurological warfare with every diplomat in eleven countries. Everyone is wondering how to give less grants.To what extent should we help save the lives of our republic! Damn bastards. I'd rather negotiate with the witches. ”

He shakes his head nervously. People smile small.

“Please don't think of them as all chieftains of the Charles Knights. ”

Kurzschlairmaza shrugs.

“This is a statue of death. The number of officers decreased dramatically as the nobles were dying. Although I do have to confess that I am somehow excavating talented people and leaving them to become officers. I have to be honest, I'm pissing on their feet. The military barely keeps up appearances. ”

“Hoho. I hear there's been a significant increase in volunteers, though." ”

Schleierma sighed.

“Of course, it's grown considerably. If we hit the summons right now, we can make 100,000 troops. But it's a beautifully lit apricot. What do you do with untrained misfits? ”

“Why don't we train them? ”

“We absolutely don't have enough officers to do that training. Oops.”

Wittenmeyer nods as he listens.

Schlairmacher was the commander of the Presidential Guard, and Vitemier himself was the last man standing. They were both soldiers. Charles Richhoffen was also a soldier, but the friendly group had a special face. I couldn't help feeling more empathy for Kurzschleigh Maher....

Hadelberg impressed the troops with the news.

“As expected, Austerlitz's defeat was decisive……. ”

“The Crown Prince had many capable generals and officers. Isn't that right, Vitemier? ”

Wittenmeyer frowns. He was originally the Crown Prince. Schleier Maher suggested it.

“Of course. General Colobrat, General Kutuzov, General Kiermeyer, General Langeron…… they were all extremely capable people. If the Crown Prince had not been so reckless, he would not have died in vain. ”

“But they died, and the gunshot wound survived. Isn't that right?"

Vitemier's face distorted more.

‘You're making fun of me. It's a bad habit. ’

And that's exactly what Vitemier thought, "You don't get along with Schleieremacher." Schlairmacher listens to you as soon as you get a chance to tease someone else. This was why I couldn't empathize honestly.

“I don't think I survived because I was better than them. The goddess favored me. ”

“In other words, it's fate……. ”

Kurzschlairmaza smiles deeply.

“Gentlemen, I have some interesting information about the Demon King Dantalian. ”

“Dantalian? The one who gave the speech on Bruno Plain? ”

Hadelberg tilts his head. He was a Gatekeeper and did not participate directly in the War of the Monthly Blinds. Perhaps that's why the weight of the name Dantalian was conveyed differently.

Hadelberg isn't the only one. There's that atmosphere all over the gate. Barbatos was much more important to them in the regime of the Habsburg Empire right away than the prince of the 71st Demon who spoke beautifully in one battle.

Soldiers were the opposite.

Barbato was decent, but able to resist. In fact, in the war, President Elizabeth, the third princess, had encountered the army of Barbatos several times. Every time, the princess won a victory. On the other hand... Dantalian was the only one to lose to the Empress.

“New information. What is it, General Schleiarmacher? ”

Wittenmeyer's eyes gleam. You always have a glimmer in your eyes that seems to be full of fatigue.

“Well, here's some information about the battle of the Black March. ”

She smiled and drank beer.

“As you know, the Black March defense line was breached in three days. Do you know who was leading the Demon Prince back then? ”

“Reports say it's the 16th Demon King Zephar. ”

“That's right, Bittenmeyer the Chamberlain. But there was a Demon King in charge, what about him? ”

Vitemier's expression was stiff.

“…… No way. ”

“Yes, this is Dantalian. He traveled through the Black Mountains at the fastest pace in history. It's not the only thing.”

Kurzschlairmaza said: It was a voice of joy somewhere.

“Just yesterday, I finished scouting the North of Habsburg, and this report said something interesting. It hasn't even been posted to the President yet. In the territory of Brandenburg, it's surprising that people are living peacefully well. ”

“No way! ”

Hadelberg was surprised and asked.

“If it was Brandenburg, it would have been captured in the beginning of the war. How could there be less damage by the Demon Prince? ”

“That's funny, but they've outlawed looting of territory by enacting legislation. ”

“Prohibiting plunder? ”

This time it was Yuria. Her voice rises.

“The Demon King didn't plunder the humans? Why?”

“It's a way to keep the common people and nobles further apart. Think about it. The Rosenberg Change Bag had to retreat without ever fighting in the beginning of the war. Why is that?”

“…… mass desertion of the conscripts. ”

And Wittenmeyer replied:

“I heard tens of thousands of conscripts have escaped. I understand the Rosenberg Change Bag has barely retreated because only a few men were left behind……. ”

“That's where the Dantalians came in. ”

Schleierma smiled.

“They say they banned plunder and distributed the Black Herb for free. I heard you subjugated the monsters...... I had no choice but to leave the mood swing bag and go to the Demon Prince Army. Haha. He eventually retreated to Austerlitz, which was the target of the Dantalians. ”

People are silent. Only Captain Charles is drinking beer with a weak face. Yuria slaps him with her elbow, giving him notice.

“Hmm? What? Running out of booze?”

Charles swoops around puzzledly. Yuria sighs. Charles cautiously lowers his glass, noticing that the atmosphere is dark. It was like a squirrel putting down an acorn.

Vitemier slowly opened his lips.

“…… The speech on Bruno Plain has seriously damaged us. It was a ploy to divide a common soldier from a noble officer. If Dantalian intended this in the first place, isn't it all part of his plan to be merciful to the people at the White Forge? ”

Schleierma nods silently.

Vitemier swallowed the saliva.

“Then…… from the breakthrough of the Black March to the bloodless of the White March, to the Battle of Austerlitz, the Battle of Bruno, to the regime…… it all sounds like one Demon King planned it. And the plan actually came true. He practically single-handedly controlled the continent. Is that possible? ”

Silence has returned to the bar. It was not fate that defeated the Empire. It was only found to be the work of a Demon King.

Hadelberg swallows his brow and says:

“From what I've heard about you, the President seems to have a foolish man standing up to him... … Shouldn't we be working on the Demon King Dantalian from now on?" ”

People nod.

However, there was no answer until the end of the day on how to be precisely taken care of. Vitemier had no choice but to consider who the Republic's true enemy was…….
