00256 Farnese in blue water

“Dantalian has a very bad temper. ”

Pymon picks up the tea. His face was calm, so he didn't look like a horse.

We were on a ferry. A white, neatly colored ferry. It flowed along the river, drawing endlessly soft waves. The water spirit grabs my belly and leads me to comfort.

A peaceful Hannah Day. We use spirits as sailors to cruise the ferry. It's a luxury you wouldn't dare imagine if you weren't the Demon King.

“Can't you be more considerate of women? ”

“Be considerate of women. There is no man who cares more about women than I do. ”

“Phew. I wouldn't hate it if I couldn't say it. Citri, what do you think? ”

“Huh?"

Citrus, who did not look at the tea, only ate the sweets, tilted her head.

She looks at Pymon and me alternately, and she looks at me with tears like she's in trouble.

“Oh, that. Piemon's right, though. Is Dantalian really so sweet...? He's very considerate... Ugh. I'm sorry, sis. ”

“That's why women's friendship is so trivial. ”

Pymon shakes his head.

“Once Citri, who was chasing her sister and her cute sister, fell in love with a man. You mean a man is more precious than I've been a sister for a thousand years? I'm so disappointed, Citri. ”

“Ahh! ”

Citri throws a snack and goes wild. Fondant, and the cake sank into the river.

“No! Dantalian doesn't care about women and he's a bad guy! Like you said, my hair smells so bad, I'm about to lose all my women! The goddesses haven't searched the ground just because they have Dantalians on the ground for a long time. ”

Citri nodded earnestly to see if she was satisfied with the rest of me. At that moment, Pymon and I made eye contact. We didn't say anything, but we definitely exchanged doctors.

“Yes, Dantalian is bad. You're right. ”

“…… That's too much, Citri. ”

I looked as sorry as I could.

“I can't believe Citri used to think that...... I was hurt. ”

“Oh? Huh? ”

“Even though everyone in the world is pointing at me and cursing at me like Citri, Yes, I believed Citri would trust me to the end and cheer me on. But Citri was also a bad guy under the world and thought I was incompetent……. ”

Citri was furious.

“Oh, no! Absolutely not! Dantalian, this is because of you! ”

“Because of Pymon? You're saying this because you built something that wasn't real? ”

“Ugh... Ugh. ”

I stared at Citri sharply.

“Citri was the kind of person who gossiped about me in words that if someone asked her to, she didn't really mean it. There's only that much Dantalian in Citri. Goddess, I thought Citri was my true friend...! ”

“Ahhhh? Ahhh? ”

Citri was restless, so she grabbed my hand.

“I'm sorry. Dantalian. I didn't know you were hurt...... I was scared that my sister would get angry, I'm just... carelessly... I'm sorry. I didn't mean it! It won't happen again. ”

“Wait, Citri. What's that supposed to mean? ”

Pymon speaks with a voice full of complaints beside him. Citri turns her head in surprise.

“Citri just lied to me without a single thought? ”

“Hey, sis? It's not that.”

“I'm disappointed. I'm really disappointed. Ah, I had no idea Citri was going to lie to me like that. ”

Pymon sighs deeply, covering his mouth with debt.

By the way, it was only after I came to this world that I realized that the noble wives carry debt to sigh like that. If I close my mouth with debt and sigh openly, I was extremely unlucky. I didn't have this kind of gesture to piss off my opponent.

“Maybe I don't trust Citri anymore. Friendship is rusty. ”

“Ugh... ugh! ”

Citri exploded.

“I'm sorry about everything, not you, not Dantalian! Forgive me! ”

She jumps to her feet. Suddenly, I got up and the ferry swerved. Citri dived straight into the river before we could say anything.

“Ugh.”

As the drops heavily rise, Pymon lets out a small scream. That was the smoke. I couldn't see it from Citri, but I could clearly see Pymon smiling as if it were so much fun beyond debt.

“Pymon, you need to take care of your face. ”

“That's why Dantalian's going crazy, too. ”

“Oops.”

Oh no. Citri is so cute, she stops being careless.

The two of us stared at Citri, sighing in pairs. Citri is swimming and pushing the ferry behind her. The ferry sailed at an unprecedented speed compared to when the water spirit led it.

Citri screams as she swims.

“I'm sorry, Miss Pymon, I'm sorry! Dantalian, I'm sorry! ”

Who wouldn't laugh at the sight? Finally, we burst. Laughter spreads into the air and splits into the sunlight.

“Well, sometimes it's not so bad to enjoy sailing like this. ”

“I spilled all my tea and chips. It's been a long time since I've had fun with three people like this. ”

“I've been busy in many ways. ”

Pymon smiles slightly.

“Thanks to you, there are thirty-three free cities in the world. ”

The Liberation Alliance was greatly defeated by Frank's civil war. But a great hero named Enrieta was not everywhere. The Kingdom of Polytunia, the Kingdom of Tuton, and the Kingdom of Sardinia…… were successfully uprooted in each province.

There were places where simple peasants had succeeded in the revolution. Many places were revolutionized by guild masters or new nobles. As a result, the continent now has a free city.

Pymon's face darkens.

“In the end, it failed to establish a new republic……. ”

“We can't be satisfied with anything from the start. Pymon. This will be a great leap forward in history, even though it's a small step for us. ”

“ ……. ”

Pymon stares at my face dazed.

“…… Dantalian sometimes speaks surprisingly cool things. Even though you have no artistic talent. Amazing.”

“Don't you know? If you really want to comfort your opponent, the Blader Goddess will do you a favor. ”

I reach out and touch Pymon's left hand. Phimon sighs, and covers his mouth with debt. I didn't hate it.

“Really. Who else did you seduce yesterday? ”

“I was unlucky yesterday because of my poor skills. I was scolded for being lonely at night. So I don't want to miss out on this today. ”

“Oh, my.”

Pyrmon smiles joyfully.

I move my hand upward and upward as I thrust it. I grabbed her wrist and stroked her arm. Pymon gladly let me touch his body as if it were a cat. Soon, Pymon's red hair flows gently through his fingers.

“Honestly, I want to have a good time. ”

“Yes. I'm excited because I've never had a girl on a ferry before. ”

“Looks like you've already arrived at your destination. ”

We turned our eyes to the river.

The city was on fire there.

Is the expression "burning" a little harsh? Five or six stalks of black smoke rose. Thousands of monsters surround the city with spear knives.

“You finally conquered Heidelberg in a year. ”

“The oldest city in the middle of the continent was a fortress. It only took a year. There's no shortage of that expression. ”

Heidelberg was a fortress on the border.

It was built along the Neckar River and managed by the Habsburg Republic…… of President Elizabeth. The Demon Prince said he would stop the invasion of the continent.

Honestly, Heidelberg was an absolute disaster.

Once the walls themselves were thick and high. "Surrounded by moats and castles." It hit me.

I grew up here. The citizens living in the fortress alone had more than one job, which was enormous. What kind of fortress does a citizen live on?

All those civilians are fighting monsters. There are nine hundred knights here.

Or else, if the whole Lunar Army were to storm in, the current Lunar Army would be finished. Pymon and Citri had to conquer this place with an army of mountain tribes.

As is well known, the mountain tribes were consumed at the forefront of the last war. Moreover, two years ago, the civil war was consuming power again. I didn't have the strength to take down a fortress like that monster.

“Maybe we should surround the fort. ”

At this point, Laura devises a plan.

Pymon counsels me, saying the fortress is too impregnable, and I immediately confronted Laura. Laura tilts her head as she listens quietly.

“Laura. Didn't I tell you? The fortress is wedged next to the Neckar River. Even if the city is surrounded, the enemy will continue to receive supplies through the river. ”

“So, the state. I mean, can we seal off the river? ”

“Hmm?"

The Neckar River is also half a mile wide. How do we turn it off perfectly?

“Well, the surveillance ship will do some good…… but the Habsburg Republican army is capable. They'll use time zones as difficult to monitor as at night. It's impossible to completely prevent that. ”

“Oh, my God. The Lord is really slow in his tactics. ”

Laura said as if she was frustrated.

“I'm not untying the watchline, I'm letting go of the bridge across the river. I don't think there's any way for a supply ship to travel back and forth. ”

“Yes?”

You're gonna build a bridge and seal off the river?

“…… there is a tremendous amount of manpower and resources to place bridges in such a large area. ”

“You don't have to make a proper bridge. Secure the bridge and bridge the battleships. Look, Joo-gun. Great legs are made. ”

“ ……. ”

I was under a lot of thought.

I mean, it's like the Red Cliff War used to connect battleships to each other. It was common to make temporary bridges out of ferries, but I had never heard of or seen a giant battleship do the same thing.

It was too bizarre an idea. But…….

“…… That should do it. No, it has to work. The Republic of Batavia is on our side. Sneak up that river and pull the battleship back. ”

“Ah. The siege is complete. ”

Laura grins.

“No matter how long Heidelberg is the strongest stronghold on the Middle Continent, how many years will Heidelberg survive the perfect siege? A year at the most. ”

“It's better to wait a year to relax than to be overbearing the fort…. ”

“That's it. ”

I immediately devoted Laura's tactics to Pymon.

Pymon and Citri first listened to me and looked at my head with a strange look. However, as the story deepened, the two Demon Kings' expressions became more serious.

“... Mmm-hmm, it's too ingenious to be insecure. ”

“Clearly. All right, Dantalian. I will fully embrace that strategy. ”

An unprecedented siege of fortresses has begun.
