Dungeon Defense (WN)

* * *

We immediately delivered diplomatic documents.

We are going to fight Against the Demon King who resides in the west of Frank.

I don't intend to intrude on Frank, just lend me the way. … Barvatos, regent of Habsburg.

I think it's called the Ming Ming Xing Way.

Horses are asking for roads, but the place this generation passes by is stained with plunder and destruction. There was no monarch to let his country and people be invaded.

Laura tilts her head back because I say so.

“But the Lord. There's even a monarch like Emperor Henry of Frank. ”

“Uh, well……. He's a lunatic who's borrowing money to get rid of his mother. It's extraordinary.”

Sometimes exceptions come up, sometimes.

Laura and I drank tea in the barracks. My tactics were accepted and the Demon King's army was preparing for a long war. Small but very important tasks were scattered, including the creation of white uniforms to minimize the difference between human and horse soldiers.

I gave him an excuse to focus on diplomacy. While everyone was busy, Laura and I enjoyed a relaxing tea time like now.

“For the record, this is also our last chance to compromise. She can make it really, really simple. You don't have to hug Agarash and fight us. ”

In this case, the territories will be slightly destroyed, but the war will not escalate. Even if Henrietta is an aggressive monarch, it is a matter of time before she thinks about it.

“But the problem is the political burden. ”

“A political burden? ”

“The current empire is just like Queen Henrietta's. The reason the nobles of Frank endure this kind of behavior is simply because Queen Henrietta's army is so powerful. ”

Every year, there was a great and small revolt in Frank. Some arise from nobles and a small number of people infected by Republicism. Every time, Enrieta slaughtered the rebels thoroughly.

“If Henrietta responds to our demands, the Franks will be furious. There was no hesitation about beating up the same human. The horsemen came, so I simply avoided the fight. What the hell are you...? ”

I grabbed the tea. A warm liquid comfortably touched the stomach. I don't know what flavor I was drinking tea for, but I liked this lonely corner. I'd be happy to have a cup of tea and a man in a cool city.

“There is a greater likelihood of a major uprising. As an angel, I'm afraid I must be reluctant. ”

“You've got some nerve, too. ”

Laura mutters in a dazzling voice.

“There's no possibility of a rebellion. The Lord intervenes and provokes rebellion. Rather, this one suits the Lord's taste. ”

“Hey, you caught me. ”

I smiled small.

“That's right. In fact, I'm happy with what she chooses. It's the difference between less time and less time. ”

Henrietta definitely wants to crush this opportunity. As time goes on, Henrietta will have complete control of the Frank Empire. The Brittany-Franks are unified under one powerful monarch. There is nothing good for me because of the emergence of superpowers.

Laura kicks her tongue.

“You have a bad temper. The Lord will be charming if he is a little less bold. ”

“Perhaps Henrietta will choose war. ”

I ignored it and said, "My creed is that I want to hear the bad news."

“She has confidence. At the same time, it would be a great opportunity. If you defeat the Demon Prince, Henrietta's political position rises dramatically. ”

Become the hero who protects Frank from the outside that swallowed him up. Henrietta won't back down with such tasty prey in front of her eyes. War happens.

“But there's a trap right there. ”

“Hmm?"

“Look at this. ”

I pulled a document out of the table. It was a handwritten copy of the diplomatic document asking for a road. Laura reads the bitter document.

“This is a trap? It seems like a diplomatic document of typical justification fighting for a girl. ”

I chuckled.

“Read it in a little more detail. ”

“ ……. ”

Laura reads the document carefully again. She frowns.

“…… I don't know. I surrender completely. The Lord knows that the girl is weak in the plot. ”

“Take a look at the sender below. It says," Barvatos, regent of Habsburg. "”

The diplomatic documents were all delivered using Barbato's name. Barbatos has been known to be the most powerful Demon King in the human world. It would be appropriate to represent the Demon Prince's physician.

“You'd think Henrietta would say no to the Demon Lord's request. But no. She refused to accept the request of the Habsburg regime. ”

“ ……! The puppet gives the emperor a reason to join the fight! ”

I nodded.

It's called bias. You'd never expect the Demon King to make Humans his Commander-in-Chief. When you refuse Barbatos' offer, you'll only think you refused the Demon King's words.

“As soon as Henrietta refuses the diplomatic proposal, we let Rudolph make a statement. Frank has refused humanity's offer to subdue the Demon King. Why does humanity want to protect the Demon King...? ”

This is the first round. Use deception to surprise the opposing Pokémon.

“I'm deeply sorry about Frank's attitude. Anyway, the Demon King must be subjugated. With or without Frank's permission, I, Rudolf von Habsburg, take a stand in the company of humanity. Do you understand, Laura? ”

“No.”

Laura shakes her head. I sighed. Why would Laura be so smart and totally childish about this kind of trick? It was amazing how people are.

“It means you won't be able to negotiate. Henrietta must be embarrassed to send an envoy. I didn't know that was the will of the Habsburg Emperor. I can only grant passage to an army of Humans…… They will try to buy us some time. ”

I have no intention of fitting in with such tricks.

It would be unfair to Henrietta, but she made a mistake. We shouldn't have given him a chance to drown out his mistakes. We must move forward at all costs. No matter what the Mission says, this is why they want to subdue Agarez together! 'Let's give him a shout.

I smiled.

“And this is where the propaganda coin comes from. And if we come out of nowhere, Henrietta will be right. ”

It's the beginning of round two.

“Good. Come when you're coming. You're just a servant of the Demon Prince after all. Everything you claim is a lie. Well, that's how it's gonna come out. It's a clay fight.”

At this rate, the loudest voice wins.

It is true that Henrietta has halved the exile of Agares, and that Rudolph is only a servant of the Demon King. Which one was more wrong? The louder and more plausible one wins.

If both have faults and justifications, the truth does not matter. Who motivates people better? That's all that's left.

And "this side" was my specialty.

I was drinking tea and talking.

“As soon as Henrietta responds, let the Republic of Batavia make a statement that it will cooperate with us. ”

“ ……. ”

“On the surface, there is a reason to subdue the Demon King. ”

Brittany celebrates a new reign. Batavia, on the other hand, is the leader of the Republicans. The two countries also fought in the last Frank civil war, and were clearly suitable for each other.

From Henrietta's point of view, you must feel like you've been hit in the back.

I thought I was dealing with the Demon Prince, but suddenly Emperor Rudolf announces his true self and pushes it even to the Republic of Batavia. The aspects of war themselves flow in unexpected directions.

“But isn't the Republic of Batavia the only thing that makes you nervous? ”

“I'm also encouraging the recently independent free cities. ”

I was speechless.

“It won't do much good for power, but it will have political ramifications if cities come forward one after the other to support us. ”

“I see. Were there free cities...?" ”

Laura nods several times with a contemplative face.

Henrietta will protest against deception, deception, and deception. I'll run around trying to get the free cities out somehow. Henrietta has no idea that Pymon's Liberation Alliance is holding out behind the Free Cities…….

This is why we occupy the 'louder side' of the propaganda coin.

“Father, I've been on an errand. ”

Then Daisy enters the barracks. Daisy, dressed in a maid's clothing, had an elongated box in her arms. I stood up shivering.

“Finally. Laura, this is my gift to you. ”

“Gift?”

“I was going to give it to you right away, but now I'm ready. Here. Open it up. ”

Laura reaches out to Daisy with a frown.

“Joo-won. You're not dirty with the panties pierced again, are you? ”

“Huh. Where did you live? On my conscience, I assure you it's not that kind of gift. ”

“There are few things in the world that are not as trustworthy as the Lord's conscience. ”

Laura hands over the wooden crate in defiance. She drops the box to the ground and opens it. Inside the box was a rod, and two long, thick cloths were rolled. Laura picks it up and opens it.

“This……? ”

Laura's green eyes widen.

The gift was a flag. A flag with blue fish soup on it.

“Laura. This is your flag. ”

It was the flag of the Duke of Farnese family.

“In this expedition, the general commander is in charge of Emperor Rudolf. Who do you think is in charge of the X.O.? ”

“That's it, Captain Barbatos. Captain Marvas. ”

“No, I'm not.”

I smiled beautifully.

“Laura is scheduled to be deputy commander. ”

“The girl…… the deputy commander? ”

“I told you. We move not to the Moon, but to the Emperor Rudolph's army. It's up to the Demon King to question whether the Demon Lord really is the Army of Humankind. You, as a human being, have a lot to gain. ”

Laura glances at the flag with a tremendous glance.

“Of course, if you treat it like this, people will doubt it. Deputy Commander of the Scarecrow, after all. A young woman with no skills and no performance. Especially the Brittanys. They must be ignoring you. ”

I stroked Laura's forehead.

“That's exactly what I'm after. Commander Rudolf is already dead. The real commander is you. ”

The soft feel of blonde hair was conveyed to the palm of my hand.

“Laura. That's all I can do to prepare. Diplomatic propaganda. I can do it all myself. But at the end of the day, when it comes to war, you need your strength. ”

“The commanders...... will not follow the girl's lead. ”

“Barbato won't complain at all. ”

I laughed bloody.

“Pymon saw your talents in the last siege. They're both meritocrats. I am not a great man stubborn or stubborn enough not to listen to your commands because he is human. Marvas is my persuasion. ”

“ ……. ”

Thin tears flow from Laura's cheeks.

“The girl...... is an outcast from the family. I don't have any right to use the flag... ”

“I'll give you that qualification. ”

I carefully stole Laura's tears with my fingers.

My little soldier.

My precious first lover.

For a girl who was treated as a child who was not in the family and was eventually sold as a sex slave, the family was subject to pity. But now you represent that family. It will be a vengeance for the families who ignored themselves...... while it will be a complete achievement.

You deserve to stand out for yourself.

“The Parnese have already fallen. Laura, you are now Farnese. Show the continent what you've thrown away. Avenge the humans who abandoned you. ”

“ ……. ”

At that moment, I heard an effect in my ears.

Laura de Farnese likes 1 more!

Laura de Farnese's appeal has reached 100!

A love so hard! The other person considers you a complete lover. This amazing love creates a new title for your opponent.

I wonder if my liking has been solved. The appeal that stopped at just 99 finally filled 100. It was the first complete anniversary, but it didn't matter. My gaze was fixed on Laura's face.

Laura wipes her tears with the back of her hand. However, tears continued to flow. When she wiped it off and wiped it again, Laura gave up and just looked up at me, holding the flag in her arms.

“... Yes. Lord.”

Laura smiles widely with a face filled with tears.

It was arguably the most beautiful smile I had ever seen.
