Goblin Kingdom

Until just three years ago, if you had asked the famous Blood Alliance (Klan) in Lishew, the capital of the Shrubic nation, you would have returned many answers.

Although small in size, Flying Swallow (Swallow) blood alliance brings together powerful people from around the world. A proud bloodline (Leonheart) that embraces subpopulations equally, with war as its main active clan. Desert-centric Hermoon (Red Moon). Allied Blood League Red King (Red King) with many blood alliances added to his umbrella.

Furthermore, Webbles' dagger and the reverse moon of shadows dyeing his hands to the assassination. Flying to freedom with high cohesion, albeit on a small scale (Elks).

And the Dagger of War Maiden (Valkyria).

In just three years, the famous blood coalition disappeared one after the other.

Leonhart travels west with the diminution of his forces, and the Red King can no longer keep the body of the United Blood League after Brandika's death. Elks is already devastated and Swallow has narrowed its activities to the marine state Yama.

Webbles' dagger, the reverse moon of the shadows, would be out of the question. Webbles' dagger has been devastated by Elks' remnants, and the Shadow Reverse Moon has found a new employer in the south and is moving there. As far as the Red Moon goes, it's the beginning and end of a battle against the dead Germion by conjugating a small blood alliance.

A number of blood alliances that used to be gorgeous and bustling with the area of the Shrine State have now almost disappeared.

Only Valkyria continues its unchanged activities.

It is a blood alliance centered on mercenary operations to the war that counts the constituents 2000. Fall Ramfad, a second-generation ally, serves as the Alliance Leader. She is an aged beauty who counts age 28. | Platinum brilliant hair with crisp eyes that stretch the spine of the stare.

Even as a woman, she is long, and wearing lightweight armor is no worse than a man's mercenary. Charisma, who merely brings together one blood alliance, and her corresponding strength, opens its seal, even as she is perplexed by the letter delivered by the Alliance.

When the letter came from the guild, it was probably not even. Blood allies have caused problems, but some bandit is cheating on his name, so crusade him, or Alliance Nominated S-Rank Assignment.

The moment she saw the seal of the letter, she couldn't fail to realize her own cheeks would pull.

"S-Rank Assignment,"

Ha, and exhale deeply.

Fortunately, I was alone in the room. I can't help but loosen the look I usually give Rin. Shall I tear it up and throw it away twice, give up and slowly open the seal?

……

All I can say is sigh. They say sighing makes them unhappy, but they don't have to sigh to come, so it would be superstition.

When she left the room, she returned to Rin and made an appearance in the guild.

Waiting in the room were the officers putting together the Alliance headquarters. It's also a rash on my face. It starts with the deputy guild director and even gathers representatives from each branch. Valkyrian fal laughed heartily that there was going to be a regular general meeting, once a year, as long as there was now a guild chief.

But only the expression made something serious and waited for them to open their mouths.

"Let me call you today, nothing else. I want you to do me a favor."

"Like what?

"Go to enemy territory and take the enemy's neck. Simply put, it's that kind of work."

"I refuse"

Fall, who did not move one eyebrow and told him no.

"You!"

Anger was also revealed, it was the deputy guild chief who suppressed the branch chief who tried to yell at her.

"This is a request from an undeniable muscle. As an Alliance, you must succeed."

……

Shut up and analyze the information as she does. At this time when the battle against Goblin has begun, on the direct nomination of the Alliance, the task of going to enemy territory and taking the enemy's neck. If you use your head a little, you'll see.

Sneak into the realm of the Goblins and kill my best friend.

For that matter, Fall, who did not want to use his own blood alliance, immediately put in a no, but if the guild also becomes a muscle that cannot be turned down, the client is determined. It's the Lilynoyer family.

"Will you do it?

The deputy guild chief pushes in case she stares, but she never tries to shake her neck vertically.

"I don't like it."

Actually, it's like they're telling me to go die. Behind her lies the lives of 2,000 blood allies to protect. I do get the guild to introduce me to the job, but I can't risk my life for reasons I'm not convinced to go.

He was a deputy guild chief who had been staring at Fall for a while, but sighing, he throws a single card over.

"Write whatever amount you want, and when you're done, go to the back room. The client is waiting."

"... the request will be paid in advance"

"Nice."

When he writes down all the expenses and the amount necessary to maintain the blood alliance, Fall throws it to the deputy guild chief. When you are in a room prepared afterwards, what comes to your nose as soon as possible is the aroma of tea.

Fall, deprived of consciousness only for a moment by the fragrant fragrance, turns his gaze to the Lord of the room.

"Looking good, Fall."

"… Alliance lord, we are out of time"

"No good, no hard greetings."

Fall thanked the war princess Blanche for extending her long golden hair to her waist and enjoying her tea gracefully, on one knee.

"Besides, concubines are no longer allies. I'm listening, Fall. I don't think he's the first of his kind."

"Still, I'm just chasing the shadow of my allies."

"Said he wasn't an ally anymore"

To the grinning Blanche, Fall is as polite as a knight to the king, then I say no to you as I call you Blanche.

"That's good. So this is not the case."

"If it's for Master Blanche, I'm ready to throw this life out..."

"Don't panic. Well, listen."

It was a big part of the battle set up by the war princess Blanche.

"You think this battle has a weak chance of winning."

"Hmm... right. No matter how talented, young and beautiful my concubine is..."

"Beauty doesn't matter."

"I don't care if you say you're young and beautiful!

Seems to be an unswervingly intransigent line, Fall pulls back feeling it. Because Zhu is pointing slightly at my cheek, I think he is trying to ease this tension.

"If we are attacked from all directions, we cannot protect the whole of Shushnu on the boulder. At least it looks like Germion got hit with that hand."

"If that's the case."

"Will you do it?

Paste an invincible grin on Blanche, who narrows his eyes and laughs. Fall nods.

"Of course. My loyalty remains the same for you."

From that day on Valkyria turned her hand to the people to gather the well-armed adventurers. Valkyria was originally a clan focused on mercenary operations. Infiltrating enemy territory is not the main business. There is a day long between smashing enemies from the front, but they were not primarily active in exploring the realm of demons.

So he spread the legend and sought out the adventurers from the small group of nations and further east around the holy kingdom of Alsace. If you are talented, the way you recruit, regardless of your background, succeeds in attracting a number of adventurers.

One operation was said to all of them in the form of a request from the Alliance.

That is, the disturbance in the rear.

◆ ◆ ◇

Battle Princess Blanche Lilinoye. Born with a talent of unmatched warfare, Goblin's army is a difficult opponent to fight properly and win. In and of itself, Blanche was aware that she was already out of reach when she took the position of head of Takemen.

There is no choice in itself. We cannot foresee everything in this world so that there are limits to the length of the human hand. Of limited authority and information, we have no choice but to show limited skill.

Unless she is king of a nation, she is only a king's minister, not to mention a great nobleman. The means that can be taken and the hands that can be struck are limited by themselves. It is in addition to that a political dispute with the other great nobles. Showing the gap as a court nobleman will lead to the future death of political life even if it triumphs over Goblin.

With her options narrowed, she had to go for victory, and she had to be rude. To quickly put the camp together, the two names “Lord Skewer" are used to indicate the end of those who defy the enemy and allies. At the same time, demonstrations will be held to force the small countries that showed a non-cooperative attitude during the earlier inauguration of the war princess.

One of them was to ask for a guild of great influence of its own to use adventurers as a force of war.

To say that we would settle between the great armies directly from the front in the battle between nations was to have to take quite a bit of danger and adventure if we tried it on her.

Goblin's ability to compensate soldiers is the biggest obstacle in assembling a strategy. No matter how much you fight and win, it's nothing but a nightmare to say goblins that are coming back to life and attacking you again.

First, we must delay replenishing that soldier. At least to the same extent as a normal country.

On top of that, she must defeat a total of more than 30,000 troops led by the king of Goblin. Kushins who refrain to the south will also attack if they forget the restraints.

And another thing, a political dispute between the great nobles pulls her legs off. From her point of view, perhaps the Shrine State is not strong enough to withstand the invasion of the enemy's own territory. If a country in the South with ambiguous borders or a Germion that was able to cut through the border, it would be able to fight while conscripting even if its national territory was invaded.

But the Shreddinist nation has been too big a country for too long.

The people never dreamed that their country would be invaded. And the confusion that arises when dreams become reality is an indication of the impossibility of a succession. I am drawn to defending myself, and the country leans not in response to conscription. As a grand aristocrat, she can't admit it, and there's no political future for her if that happens.

It was terrible the other day when a large group of warcraft broke into the south.

Both the great nobles were confused first and asked the king to rescue them. In the first place, the great aristocrats are supposed to be qualified to defend their own territory.

But it's not like they don't have weaknesses.

Its defenses are by no means adequate in the widely spread Goblin ruling areas. To rule well, to concentrate on the front lines.

There are also solid routes of entry in that way. The Kushins. Relations have deteriorated since we issued the declaration recognizing the Goblins as a country, but it's not like we still don't have a deal.

It's not like you can't break into the Goblins' country if you let them get into it.

What Blanche said stunned Fall.

I didn't know my beloved former allies were being hunted down that far.

"By disturbing the rear of the enemy, you have less power to turn here."

"Uhm. At the same time, the concubine defeats both the goblins. So I hit him with my hand."

Blanche, who laughs weakly, belongs to a girl who has stripped off her mask as a great nobleman.

It must be said that it is difficult to raise the total power of the Shrine State, such as the extermination of the Goblin. It's not Goblin's army when it's already against Brandika in the South. Reconciliation by finalizing the border line, which is Blanche's most likely form of victory.

"But the..."

"Hmm?"

"Is there any certainty that the Goblins will adhere to harmony?"

"Hmm, I can't say much about it. Once you have an alliance with the Kushins, it may be difficult to make an alliance with your opponents, even though you should be able to turn your head. Anyway, from what the concubine sees, so does that alliance, because Goblin is the Lord Kushin."

That's why Blanche opens his mouth, putting it down.

"Beat with force. Other than that, I guess. I wonder if they would consider alliances if they knew this one would be painful... at least when the Kingdom of Germion kept the West End."

"It sounds like you recognize the country of the Goblins."

"I don't have a choice. Something powerful builds the country. It's been a common thing for a long time. Whether it's human, subhuman, fairy, or goblin."

"... Yes"

Humph, laughing with his nose, Blanche included tea in his mouth to moisten his throat.

"Well, then, we just have to carry out the task of backward disturbance."

"No, that's it... Valkyria is on the battlefield with her concubine. It would be better to look at the right people for rear turmoil."

"But then..."

"I know. I know the talent to bring the mix together."

By the time Fall had left Alliance headquarters, Rodu's torso was already about to disappear across the city. To her it looked as if it were a view of the colour of blood to be walked.

◆ ◆ ◇

The king of Goblin, who had fallen the kingdom of Germion, showed his establishment to enter the East, and hence the Shrubbing, without wasting time, but when the war princess Blanche took the lead and defeated the dispatched tiger beast and spear (Alan Sign), the border first showed stability.

But the king of Goblin had persevered in his quest for a way east, and had set his aim for the land of Shushnu. Beside the king, Puel Sinforua, a military teacher who sees military and administrative affairs, had found an unprecedented impatience in his king's attitude.

At a time when the paperwork was in a paragraph, she murmured with a blur and a voice to the extent that she could not hear or hear the king.

"Sure, did you say lecia fer zier"

tingly, the king's shoulder moving slightly as he looked out the window.

"... what are you talking about"

You're a lousy liar, and with an inner sigh, Puell decided to boldly cut in.

"It is about the woman of man to whom the king is obsessed. He said it was definitely such a name."

"I'm not obsessed..."

……

For a while silently, an uncomfortable air flowed, and the king sighed and realized his heart.

"Well, yeah"

"Please wait while we search for your location"

"What?"

"We have grasped that we are in the small northern country of Orfen. Virgin Lecia Fer Zier. You seem to be quite famous around it."

"... right"

Unite the continent, under the king of goblins, few are serious about this word. The Goblins only wish they had followed the king, because they would not think of strategies, goals, etc. If the king wants, let's risk our lives to fight. The temperament of the warriors is their beauty and faults.

When it came to the stage of exactly what to do with that path, it was only about Puel and some fairy clans that I thought about.

Gi Zar Zarquand and others are also too inclined to just fight for the king and in what ways to defeat the enemy. If we do continue to defeat our enemies, sooner or later, there may be no more enemies from the continent to defeat. But new enemies and so on are springing up quickly.

Occupy land, conduct politics, and rule.

It was only the king and his side who thought about these things.

The king has been rocking lately.

This is something I can tell because Puel follows me beside him, but I think the reason for the war is changing. Until now, it was the purpose of the King's battle to say that we would secure a survival zone such as the Subhumans and the Goblins. The kingdom of Germion, which controlled the South and was the greatest persecutor for the subpeoples and goblins, perished.

If you speak of polarity, you may say that you have gained a territory of equivalence with man.

It is a great nation that dominates one-fifth of the world if it is combined to the dark forest. No country has so much national territory in the land of man, and no country can offer more troops than this one. Therefore, if we were only to live, we would have gained enough territory.

Puell thinks this is a branch.

"King, do you really have an idea to unite the continent?

It will be a long and hard fight from now on. It's not a fight to challenge. Eat up your enemies while you can, and greedily gain territory. It is precisely a war of conquest as human desire is.

"Whatever, never."

When the king turns back to Puel, he looks back at her with those bloody red eyes.

"You have to be on the front line. At least to lead a coalition of nations."

The goblins are still fine. If they knew the king was wanted, they would take the initiative to fight ahead. But what about humans, subhumans, fairies? Wouldn't you rather live in peace than conquer the territory?

In that sense, the Goblins must now stand more on the arrow side of the battle than ever before. And the question was whether the king had a rationale that would only convince the subhumans and the humans as well.

"Humans are still numerous, as are our rulings, and from now on that trend will become more and more pronounced. Do you have a reason to follow them, convince them, and drive them into battle?

"I'm going to go get the things that were taken back. Isn't that enough?

Puel, bowing his head with a chilling expression, answered the king's question.

"No. It will be enough. I'm relieved to hear the answer."

Nevertheless, putting it aside, Puell does not break his chilling expression, but carries on the words.

"I'm a little interested in who the king falls in love with."

……

Puel smiles bitterly at the king who goes silently out of sight, only in his heart. But the expression appearing on the surface does not loosen a diminution, and remains cold.

"Let's give the whole army a touch. He said the king is going east to take back what he loves."

"... are you kidding me?

"No, I mean it?

One and one of them stared at each other often, but it was the king who broke it.

"What do you want?"

"A lot of time now. I am heavily aware of the king's desire to attack east, but I am not in the right position. Lord Gi Gee's time is in the math, but losing to Lord Gi Gee is out of the math."

To Puel's attitude of bowing his head in the utmost seriousness, the king sighed and had no choice but to grant permission.

◆ ◇ ◆

When it comes to the Dark Hand, the killer or, where famous, the assassin, the street is good. It is the inverse moon of shadows and the dagger of Webbles that did it on a clan by clan basis. The total number of dark hands held by these two clans is said to be 50 or 100, and there may be a real number.

Because it was dangerous, as if exploring itself was a direct link to death.

Let them, gathered using Valkyrian handouts, be turned into merchants via Kushin territory, sending them out little by little. Those who were mixed with it and tasked with the original rear turmoil also let them leave.

Their trend, dressed as a merchant, is difficult to grasp once left alone. No one could be caught anywhere, and no reinforcements are expected under any circumstances.

Still, it's up to personal circumstances for them to make their way.

Enemies of the close. To save what you love from the debt. Honor Greed. As each traveled with reason, Fall was present at the departure of all of them.

Soon those who depart from here will hardly ever see each other again.

I don't need to be so presumptuous, but she was present for the reason that she said she wasn't sleeping well.

It's not like the Goblin side won't come to war until they do. Although we control information as strictly as possible, there is no such thing as absolute control in the world.

The moon of Sheep was coming to an end, and the season was about to pass when the green was still stretching its periphery. The wind blowing from the east, though still hot, was something that made me feel the arrival of winter somewhere.

Then about a month later, at the end of the month of Morki, information enters that there is movement on the goblin side. It was not long after that that an order to dispatch was given to Valkyria, led by Fall.
