Dungeon Defense (WN)

The Republic envoy's trivial attack was in essence a playful tent.

I was about to put the Habsburg Empire on the international stage one step ahead of Pymon. Empires appear in international politics. That meant confronting the Republic of Habsburg with its rightful successor.

As a result, the diplomatic war to decorate this winter has evolved fiercely.

* * *

First, the Franks.

“Empress Dowager has directed unlimited cooperation back home. ”

Frank has clearly supported us more than any other country.

I have formally declared the execution of the rebel party for the massacre in the south of Frank. Personally, however, he sent a confidential letter to Earl Bercy informing him that it was a joke in the Habsburg Republic. Frank's court wanted to kick the shit out of the Republics because of the "lawlessness."

Next, a little surprisingly, the Kingdom of Brittany.

“Her Majesty has already recognized the Emperor of Habsburg as the rightful ruler. ”

This collaboration included the Le Abre Treaty in the last war.

If we are not recognized as sovereigns in Brittany, treaties will be broken naturally. War is imminent. The Kingdom of Britannia, once extinct by the main force, will no longer be able to afford war. Even if Queen Henrietta maintains her personal cooperation with President Elizabeth, there is no way she can face a matter of national destiny.

Our allies were the Franks and Brittanys like this.

Of course, there were forces supporting the Habsburg Republic, not us.

“I find it hard to believe, to be honest, that there is no will to war in your country. ”

“The Demon Prince is still illegally occupying some of our land. Your priority is to resolve the territory issue! We can never offer you unconditional goodwill. ”

The Kingdom of Sardinia and Polytunia.

Sardinia lies just south of the Republic. From their point of view, the Republic is a barrier against the horrific Demon King's invasion. It's worth working with the Republic.

The kingdom of Polytunia was at odds with the Neutral Wave. The neutral faction under Demon King Marvas has already invaded Polytunia alone since the War of the Monthly Armies. Some of the territories have been taken down and performed well. For some reason, Polytunia burned hostility against us.

The rest of the country is neutral.

Bernice, Tuton, Kalmar, Anatolia, Castilla, Moscow. Even Batavia.

The seven nations casually looked at the situation and wondered whose side they would side with. Must be a joyful thought. Depending on which of us, the Republic or the two made sweeter suggestions, the seven countries were able to divert their cooperation at any time.

Current score 2: 2.

Brotherly fights between the Habsburg Empire and the Habsburg Republic. In reality, however, it is a little different.

This is a diplomatic battle between Dantalian and President Elizabeth.

If this is a real battle, I will not hesitate to retreat. Elizabeth is a military genius. I can't win no matter how hard I try. But this is not a war between iron and iron. A war without iron, a war without tongue....

Moreover, there is a fatal weakness for Elizabeth. I am unable to dive directly into diplomatic warfare. I feel constrained by my actions as much as I am the monarch of a country.

Whereas I am free to move freely. Territory management can be left to Lapis and Parsi to focus solely on diplomacy. That's the difference between winning and losing.

“Buy it all with money. ”

I started the bribery assault first.

Bribery is a classic tactic. Proven to be effective. Now that I've targeted Ivar Lodbroke, I am the person with the most powerful funding force in the luxury room, combining the mystical system and continents.

Ivar's assets reach 50 million Libra gold coins. It's not an enormous amount of excitement.

The annual budget for the Habsburg imperial court is 1.5 million Libra gold coins. Ivar alone can roll the imperial court for 33 years! Alone, under the assumption that it doesn't work for 33 years and leaves its wealth alone.

The richest blonde girl in the world asked me.

“How much money do you need? ”

“Bribing all the envoys of each country. A hundred and fifty thousand gold coins should be enough. ”

It was an era where markets had not yet developed significantly. One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins was a tremendous amount of money.

Kunkusa's immortal aura softly snorted.

“That's light.”

She was unsecured and unsecured, instantly consolidating 300,000 Libras. I lent them all in cash, so they were hardened and jeweled. Thanks to this, the money originally doubled from 150,000 to twice.

A tremendous amount of bribery was poured out.

Ivar and I were athletes when it came to this. Money doesn't run out of medicine until you give it to me as a glimmer. Human beings are like mechanical devices, so a little oil was always needed.

“We bring in the finest parasites in the horse kingdom. Request to the Spear Guild. ”

“Humanity's lifelong wish is to crush the Circus and the Elves, right? I'm going to indulge you in that illusion. ”

A whore and a prostitute named Naeja were airlifted directly from the palace. They were the ones who cost money to live overnight.

“I also hire musicians, actors, and alchemists. ”

“You can contact the palace guild and hire them together. ”

In sexual culture, the Horses have developed far more than humankind. The life of the Horse has been miserable for hundreds of years and has been designed for the sake of a long life.

For example, on stage actors perform dirty shows, musicians play ticklish music, alchemists smoke herbs with excitement - and enjoy intimate intercourse in the middle. He called it the art of sex comprehensive.

Diplomats were shocked by the awe of their first life.

“This, this……. ”

“I've heard that Circus is beautiful, but it can't be that beautiful! ”

The Messengers were unable to concentrate on the superior culture of the machinery.

“This is the sweetest drink I've ever had in my life! ”

“Palace White, what kind of craftsman made this Americas? ”

All the liquor was filled with the goods of the horse system. It was effective in creating an exotic atmosphere. The new pearl tasting itself has become a great conversation.

A week.

I've been baking diplomats all week. The ambassadors were savoured by all their pleasures. During intercourse and drinking, of course, their pockets became thick.

Of course, bribes alone do not serve a purpose. As I said, bribes are just grease. The envoys will take orders from the Lord and make diplomatic decisions.

But the monarchs did not attend.

The monarch receives an envoy's report and judges based on it. In other words, the messenger is the eye of the sovereign of each country. The Messengers periodically report to the monarch using the Magic Crystal Ball.

Now, how do diplomats report to their superiors?

─ At least I don't see the willingness to wage war against the Habsburg Empire again.

─ Demon Kings clearly respect the authority of the emperor. The regime is somewhat undisciplined, but surprisingly, the palace is occupied by the palace white and the palace white controls the regime accordingly. We need to rethink the situation in the imperial court.

─ Palace Bag certainly understands Empire and Human traditions. The palace white man does not see any prejudice that disrespects or insults the imperial court and their own kingdom. Judging by his predicament, he sincerely wants a normal relationship with his country.

If there are things that go, there are things that come.

Diplomats naturally thought about returning 'a little favor' to the congratulations and entertainment they received. There was also the influence of persuading the envoys without rest while I was entertaining them.

The ambassadors of the Habsburg Republic were appalled at the horrific threat of bribery.

The republic operated a fearless diplomatic line, but unfortunately, it was second to nothing in terms of funding. Newborn Habsburg was never a rich country. Rather, they belong to the poor.

The Republicans bribed him, but he was desperately weak against us. It couldn't have been the castle of the envoys who had already taken one of the finest Circus as a maid.

─ The ambassadors of the Habsburg Republic publicly disregarded or insulted the authority of the Emperor half the time during the ceremony. They were all speaking formally, and I couldn't help but notice that the complaint was rude.

─ The attitude that the Imperial Court showed was truly commendable. Whenever the emperor heard the insult behind it, he did not provoke personal anger, but responded appropriately by diverting the attention of the dissidents elsewhere.

─ Emperor personally favors and declares the President of the Republic. Republican emissaries, on the other hand, are not rude at all, and are also less prestigious in dealing with the ambassadors of foreign nations.

In the end, the first battle was a complete victory for us.

It was clear that the monarchs' minds moved in the mission report.

A week later, the envoys were more actively negotiating with us. If mouth-watering and Abu were to come and go, it would be time for a real and practical transaction.

The first batsman was the Kingdom of Tuton.

“Palace White. I think we've become close enough to each other. ”

“Of course, Ambassador. ”

“I'll tell you the truth. Home is closest to the Empire. We absolutely need assurance that the Empire will not breach our borders. ”

The Kingdom of Tuton was surrounded by the Demon King's sanctuary to the east, the Republic of Batavia to the west and the Habsburg Empire to the south. You're probably realizing the word amnesty. I was that sensitive to security.

I smiled.

“Ambassador. I'm a palace man, but I'm also the king of the Horses. Thanks to them, they have very small territories. Fortunately, the territory is at the eastern tip of the Kingdom of Tuton. ”

“Yes. I've heard it's made up of seven hills. ”

The ambassador nods. I was impressed. Other kingdoms were also concerned with information in their own way.

“My territory is in a strange place. In some cases, you can claim to be stuck in Habsburg, or you can claim to be stuck in Tuton. It was the village of Bondi, so the official affiliation has not yet been determined. ”

“…… Palace White. No way."

The ambassador of the Kingdom of Tuton opens his eyes wide.

I nodded.

“Ambassador. Please honor the great king by sealing my lands with the Earl of Tuton." And I would be a palace white man in Habsburg and Earl Tuton at the same time. ”

“You mean this! ”

The ambassador stepped up. The ambassador was pleased to hold my two hands.

“If the palace white man cooperates with his country, he will truly win a thousand horses! ”

“Haha, that's a compliment. Can I count on the Ambassador's friendship? ”

“Don't worry, palace white. I will name it after my predecessor and make this work. ”

The day after, the answer from the Kingdom of Tuton was communicated informally.

It was a document that claimed the Habsburg empire as sovereign and that Barbatos was legitimate under the conditions that my territory was bound to the Kingdom of Tuton.

― Score, 3: 2.
