Sturdy and bigger tent than the others.

The battlefield meant that the sight with the emperor was also to be held in the tent.

In a wide tent. Rio sitting in the back chair stares at the young man in front of him. He's about our age, but he doesn't look nervous even in front of the emperor and ten ministers, and me, who was also present this time. That is also evidence that the youth themselves have dived through the training grounds.

This is General Quenti of the Southern side of the Gardis Empire.

General Quentie.

It is said that he participated as one of the commanders in the war against the Glenvarga Empire, a rare genius who was young and promoted to general… etc., but in fact it is like the promotion of his grandfather, the emperor of the Gardis Empire, for foil. I wanted the fact that I took part as a general in the war, even if I didn't have any notable achievements.

There was no one else who was actually in command, and he was nothing but a decoration.

For this reason, the actual commander is also next door.

However, it is General Quenti who will negotiate. Even if it was a decoration, it would not change being a superficial commander, so it was to be negotiated.

Actual commander - as General Holland, General Quenti's non-participation in the negotiations was desirable. But the Glenvarga imperial side, which knows who the superficial commander is and even General Quenti's qualities, did not acknowledge it.

Speaking of what he could do, it was about praying next door that the prince would not commit some sort of lapse.

"Glorio, Emperor of the Glenvarga Empire."

"Oh, was it revealed in His Majesty the Emperor? It is unfortunate for our country that this happened when His Majesty was here."

"... right"

In fact, the enemy's labyrinth lord is causing it for timing.

It was Rio who snorted deeply just knowing the truth, but General Quenti continues to talk without realizing that.

"Let me explain what's going on in our country right now"

The beginning was abrupt.

A demonic raid began when, as usual, we were spending time in a safe city. Repeatedly push Marutai to the gate where the monster, who can handle weapons in a giant manner like an orga, has sourced from.

It was a sturdy built gate, but the gate was to be freed in about an hour without being able to withstand in front of the awesome power of the Auga.

From there, many demons push themselves inside the city.

People had no choice but to escape without order into abrupt raids. In the first place, the focus is on attacking from the inside out in a situation where the defense of the city is protected by a sturdy outer wall.

He was in a predicament when he was invaded into the city.

As the building was destroyed, a courageous young adventurer successfully attacked and defeated the demons.

"But it looks like a lot of people were passive."

Successfully defeated an oak.

But in the meantime, the young adventurer was to lose his life because he had been besieged by other demons.

Adventurers fought elsewhere, causing damage at the same time as the battle worked.

Running Ordinary. Soldiers conducted evacuation guides and adventurers were to deal with fighting demons. It was because if you fight demons, adventurers can be more active than soldiers who value interpersonal experience.

Now that I've heard from the enemy's labyrinth lord, I know, but the adventurers would not have sacrificed themselves if they hadn't launched an inadvertent attack on the demons at that time.

Nevertheless, even with that said, the Later Festival. It's weirder not to be anxious in a situation where demons are happily destroying buildings. Besides, the adventurers at that time were burning with the sense of purpose of protecting ordinary people.

"There was also their struggle, which allowed a lot of people to escape."

General Quenti, who will be good at it.

He is nodding with a serious face when Rio sees General Holland next door. Apparently the practical commander thinks the same thing.

As a man who knows the truth, he is nothing.

"Being on the front line, I can only listen to as few soldiers left in the city struggle, but I have a duty to safeguard their lives as those entrusted by them with asylum"

Evacuation and survival are not enough.

"First of all, there is a shortage of food"

People who were supposed to flee dressed up.

Naturally they did not have food or anything, and yesterday they outgrew their hunger by supplying food brought out of the fortress at the forefront by the hands of General Holland, who sooner perceived the noise.

But the number of refugees is over a hundred thousand. More are planned for the future.

Not very much, but there's no way we can connect to each other with just the food we bring out.

"Be specific."

"Huh..."

"How many days can you bring?

General Quentie is in trouble for being asked questions.

Because it's a good place to disqualify as military personnel, such as accurately communicating our plight to enemy countries.

But Rio has grasped the food of the Gardis Empire since the beginning.

It is within the territory of the Glenvarga Empire that they live today in the first place. Because it is a good place to say that it is also a territory of the Glenvarga Army, the investigation has been completed within yesterday, such as the amount of food remaining.

"... for a few days..."

"Stop lying. You are one of the royals who protects the people before you are a soldier. It should not be imitated to starve the people."

"... Huh!?

"Tomorrow's food is already at a critical level."

Even today's food levels are at stake if more refugees are to be evacuated.

"That's not...!

"I'm talking to the person in charge. Shall I keep my mouth shut for those who are nothing but generals?"

……

General Holland tried to correct Rio's words.

Rio kicked me over that.

"Good to have been able to notice the disturbance and to have decided to abandon the fortress"

The demon was attacking from the north.

General Holland decided to abandon the fortress when he was informed early on that the city in the north was in a similar condition.

It was not that there was no option of caging, but Cage Castle is an effective means because it is in a situation where rescue can be desired. It is visible that two hundred thousand people, combined with refugees and soldiers, will do their best in the near future where they have been caged with supplies turned down.

"If you have a future, only ask the Glenvarga Empire for help."

It was unexpected that it would not strike me once I had just crossed the border, but it was General Holland's thought to work with soldiers from the Glenvarga Empire to intercept demons.

There's no way we wouldn't cooperate if demons attacked us too, even if it was just a matter of hostility. We were going to lay waste to our problems by dealing with demons together.

"You don't just need food."

"Yeah, you're right."

The necessary supplies are diverse.

"We have to make sure it's the most important thing. Do you know where we live?

"That, is..."

"It's not the territory of our own country, it's the territory of our Glenvarga Empire"

They can travel between the two countries by carrying out the necessary procedures and inspections, even if they are in a hostile relationship.

However, the refugees have not followed any of the necessary procedures because it was an emergency.

That doesn't mean we're going back to the Gardis Empire.

"So you can provide it, including other supplies of support"

"Is it true!

"Oh. I don't mind if you stick to two conditions"

General Quenti breathes out of tension.

There can't be less stringent conditions for enemy countries to stick out.

"One is to give the consideration for the support material later"

"That, of course!

"You must. It was an emergency, so the excuse doesn't work because it was the general who mounted the promise. Remember, if you don't get paid, you'll be forced to collect it."

……

General Quenti, who leans down and shuts up.

The Glenvarga Empire has not been imitating anything to involve non-combatants, albeit war. Because there was no way to imitate what would have left its roots in order to smoothly rule later.

He didn't give any help to the villages or anything near the battlefield. But if you imitate what you promised, you attack it as a military operation.

"I don't want to impose hardship on people who have no sins either. I just want to pray that the terms will be honored to help them."

"Of course it is. So, the other condition..."

"Oh, there you are, too."

- Full surrender of the Gardis Empire.
