Goblin Kingdom

It is Puel Sinforua who divides the administration and the military of the King's sitting capital (Revea Suu) in the absence of the King of Goblin. He is a master of all the armies of the Kingdom of the Black Sun (Arlodena), and at the same time participates in Uchiji as an assistant to the King.

In her opinion, there is always a big picture to dominate the continent. It is loyal and easily replenished soldiers who have a mighty nation that dominates the middle of the continent and over which a resolute and brave king reigns and even supports it. If we proceed without great excess, the fruits that say nature and continental domination will roll into Arlodena's hands, just as ripe fruits will shed themselves.

If a tactic is a pursuit of how efficiently to kill enemies and allies on the battlefield, a strategy is how much advantage you can put in place before you arrive on the battlefield. In that aspect of strategy, Arlodena stands overwhelmingly in favour of other countries.

She is one of the best in the continent in tactical terms, but was supposed to have two pioneers at the same time as her in strategic terms. He is Carlion Quinn Kirks, a warrior of the Red King, and Blanche Lillinoier, a war princess of the Shreddish nation.

In a battle for a vast southern stage, the strategy brought from Carlion's wide-ranging horizons was one that would already capture victory before he fought. Or an army interwoven with the falsehoods shown by the battle princess of the prairie champion Shushnu was behind the opponent and determines his advantage on the battlefield. They are all intentions of genius. It's not like the rest of us can imitate it.

Consequently, she takes a solid route consciously that her talents are inferior to those of them.

Send troops to the front line so that the generals can constantly use their full strength and always fight with more abundant force than their opponents. This is the solid strategy Puell thinks.

In other words, the enhancement of national power and the enrichment of war power.

The promotion of a human-centred economy and a longer-term urban construction plan with fairies at its centre are just some of the best examples of this. It should also be remembered that agricultural measures should be promoted in order to accommodate the growing population. The number of goblins should have been a minority, but it is increasing one after the other with impending momentum on human beings.

Even though the numbers are decreasing in wars and in harsh trials. Though they consider carnivores to be the supreme, there is nothing that cannot be eaten, such as bread, which has been proven by the kings of the sword kings Gi-Go-Amatsuki and Goblin.

The main battle is still ongoing in the east, but peace is returning from the centre of the continent to the west. In that case, naturally, the human population also follows a path of increase.

In the context of reforms focusing on Josh Fagarmia, the representative Governor of Western Capital of the civil service, and Elberta Neuen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Erlane, the books of tax officials are required to state the civil registry.

Without having to check that statistic, it was obvious that the population was increasing while drawing a rapid curve if we took a glance at the prosperous West Capital.

If more people and the economy turns, tax revenues will increase and national power will be enhanced. It will also be possible to reach out to areas of southern barbarism that have never been reached before and to advance development.

The development of new mines, the discovery of demons, the offensive, etc. and the flourishing of Arlodena were, in other words, enrichment of national power. In terms of Uchiji, it fits when Josh and the rest of the civilian shortage finally settled down.

On the military side, she also raised the issue of human resource development.

It is a further strengthening of those who are four generals of Goblin.

The four armies, taking into account the characteristics and appropriateness of each general, have become armies that have brought their characteristics to bear so that they can exert their utmost power under the king. It can be manoeuvre, it can be aggression, it can be barbaric without fear of depletion, it can be the coordination of races. Regardless, the Army of Bows and Arrows (Fanzuel), which is not a member of the Tojo, is given other roles.

But she wants more than that from them. For one thing, it is flexible enough to drop the country on its own. Furthermore, it is a broad perspective that puts even governance into perspective. So far it is the Axe and Sword Army (Felduk) of Gi-Gu-Berbena that retains its flexibility, and it is the Tiger Beast and Spear Army (Alan Sign) of Gi-Gu-Larks that is fighting with a broad horizon.

It is her goal for the moment to entrust them with one aspect and equip them with a generator that will only swallow the country, so to speak, a small country. At least to the extent that it is possible to give authority for this and, if it fails, to compensate, Arlodena's national power has been isolated compared to other countries.

After checking military trends on each side, she sipped a sigh of tea and sipped a willow brow.

"... you're cold"

From her former adventurer origins, it is tea that falls into the category of hobbies. The war princess, who was a great nobleman, also said she preferred tea, while Blanche Lilinoyer sought the finest tea leaves, Puel was not so restrained. Even if it is cold, drink it straight away if you don't need to worry.

Drop your gaze in writing again and it was the situation in the Eastern countries that popped into her eyes.

"To the Holy King Alsace, there is a small state support move"

The text, with the names of those who are moving in the centre, or the trends of their forces, was Sophia's integration of the flight to freedom she commands (Elks) and the information raised from the merchants under her umbrella.

I recall explaining to the King of the "Old Powers” and Goblins, who have maintained a reign for more than 400 years, with slight bitterness. Nor does it hegemony the periphery, as in the case of the Shreddish State, and the heart of the economy gives way to the eastern maritime state Yama, with only a minimal standing army that maintains its territory.

It was information to say that civil strife was constant with a hush over more stable diplomatic relations, but it was moving unexpectedly fast.

"... are you a reformist, a Timur"

The force that is appealing to the King for small state support is a young aristocratic centric faction. Behind it, the shadow of the "Church” is also hidden. The Church dedicated to the native ancestral god of the nation boasts a deep-rooted desire around the Orient, said to be the birthplace of man, and it is the Church - the largest religious community in the Orient - that brings it together.

By spreading the myth, the presence of the Church, which retains its influence, also caused Puel to call Alsace the Presbyterian Power.

"It wouldn't even be Alsanzark, such as theocracy politics"

There are aspects of the Holy King Alsace that are currently able to retain legitimacy because the King combines religious authority by the Church. That doctrine, which sometimes even brags that man is the supreme being, cannot be comfortable with Puel, the fairy clan.

"… Do you need any action?"

There are factions that support it, which means that there are also factions that oppose it. We have to start by grabbing it. When we acknowledge the instructions we give Sofia, we also look at the situation in neighbouring Yama.

Built in the easternmost part of the continent and flourishing in dealings with remote maritime nations, Yama is a trading country that gains wealth by connecting the continent to the archipelago. It is not all that, it is a small country along the coast and a large country with an interest through maritime trade.

However, the source of that power naturally stems not from the continent's side but from the maritime trade.

Naturally, the trade network extends to the Holy King Alsace.

"Before the battle, if you can exhaust your enemies, is there anyone better than this"

The gaze of a frigid military teacher when he instructed the umbrella chamber of commerce via Josh to expand sales in Yama was directed toward a small group of nations. Still, small groups of nations have invaded the west only by Arlodena, but the impact is steadily emerging.

As if the Goddess of Destiny were to wrap that thread around, Puell was trying to wring a thread of ploy around the remaining continental nations.

◆ ◆ ◇

The Northern Ridge Mountains, the northernmost end of the realm in which man stepped. Through a series of volcanic zones, the cool climate dominates the land. The trees, rooted among the lava stones, stretched the dark green periphery into the sky while taking in the rocks, also under the influence of the magic vegetables, and in the earth where the volcanic ash was deposited, the tall grass grows.

But being out of people's hands means there's not even a way.

Goblin the slightest trace of the beast's passage. They search and take the path north. On the map, if you proceed north, you should be able to reach the coastline. It was a general policy to go around the western untouched areas to mark it.

Goblins under Gi-Go-Amatsuki cut the disturbing trees into shifts, and the Snow Ghost clan helps with that too. Ordered by Gi Go, they snapped down the trees that stood still, wondering if this was also one of the trainings.

As if it were a sea of fairy forest trees, twisted trees intertwined together, expanding the roadless beast path that the Xu is reinforcing it. If you think about what you have to return to sooner or later, the road has never crossed to expand. All in all, the line is not just the goblins that have lived in the woods, but also the barbarian Yugshiva from Snow Mountain and the human Lecia.

I've never crossed it to keep the road expanding in case of an emergency.

It would be different if he led a large number of earthly magic caretakers, as was the case when Gowen Raneed, a former hostile, tried to open the forest, but only about the warriors of the Earthly Fairy Clan (Gnome) seemed to be able to use earthly magic in his company this time, and they were only a few warriors.

Gi Zar Zarkend, who leads the Goblin Sacrifice (Druid), is also good at handling the wind, but he can't handle the magic of the earth. Manipulating the magic of different attributes is very difficult on its own, and requires a huge amount of magic.

Walking about three days through an undeveloped forest stretching north from the volcanic zone, on its north side, he saw an open earth and a sprawling lake. That was understood by them as a lake because they could see the other shore far away.

"... it's a huge lake."

"Plus, it's open. It's like plants are avoiding this area."

To Lecia, who rounds his eyes, the king of goblins also speaks of doubt.

In the middle of the earth, which deserves to be called a barren earth without even a single grass growing, the lake faces. Surprisingly, the king of frowning goblins and Lecia leaning her neck with her nose snapped.

"I don't know, you smell weird"

"Really?

The king of goblins has little sense of smell functioning. The scent Lecia said was also something the king could not feel. When she gets off the horse she was riding, she approaches the lake. I wondered what I was going to do, save the water on the lake and lick it with pepper.

"... soggy"

"Hmm, I see"

King snorting at Lecia's sentiments. Lecia, surprised with her eyes round, nodded with a strangely convincing face when she nodded.

"Okay! This is--"

"Salt Lake."

"─ Mi no?

A gaze seeking an explanation concentrates on the king of Goblin, but the king said flatly looking around.

"These things must have been the ocean a long time ago. But for some reason it became a lake in isolation from the sea. So it's shaped like a lake, but it's got salt water."

At the tip of the king's finger, there is a white mass adhering to the coastline. Probably salt crystallized because the salt is too high. It is no mistake to say mountains of treasure, beyond the fact that salt is essential to human life.

"The ocean is more vast and endless."

Everyone watched the king who closed his words, but when Gi Zar Zarquand praised the king's knowledge, the others were convinced to nod.

"I've heard that the ocean is vast."

"Exactly, the king"

Even if he receives words of praise, the king orders him to go down the road flat. Sure, the presence of Salt Lake is fascinating, but now it was more important to move on within the high sun. All you have to do is pick up your baggage when you return.

"... What's up, Lecia?

The king tilted his neck at Lecia, who was kicking the back leg of the "push” as they all began to advance according to the king's instructions. The “push” being kicked looked annoying to get rid of even the mosquitoes and couldn't stick his fangs out at the Lord's thinkers, he was pointing that way.

"Nothing! Why not?

In the attack of the weak Virgin, etc., it cannot be possible to scratch the push, etc. She gave up and rode horseback with her face dyed with shame.

"... maybe, what... you wanted to say the answer I said?

"King, there's something that people shouldn't even notice and say!

A grin naturally lingers in the king's mouth as he looks at Lecia's face stained red with shame.

"I see. I learned one thing."

"You don't even think about it!?

Lecia pulls over and slaps the king in the arm.

"Well. We won't be too late for the others."

Lecia, taken by the urging king and left her cheeks swept, lines up the pawns to proceed next to the king. That journey, where no wonder and no warcraft even existed, was peace itself.

◆ ◆ ◇

The thread of Puel's stretched plot entangled the countries of the east of the continent with more precision than before. It was Puell who actually pulled that drawing, but it was Sophia who was responsible for the plot to fly to freedom (Elks) that drew it to the stage of its implementation.

The forces that pair with the Reformers of the Holy Kingdom are called the Senate, if you borrow their words.

Intensify the conflict by adding a little fuel to their power feud. At the same time, accelerate business dealings by merchants. By assassinating one of the reformists, the younger ones are pioneering. It's like the momentum of a falling snowball rolling down a snowpath, their feud accelerates and heats up.

Looking sideways at it, I will pass on the necessary information to the other intelligence agents who are entering the Holy Kingdom. I don't care if it's just a rumor. I will spreading rumors about the plight of the force-pointed reform and the strength of the senatorial sect into their ears.

It's like a ball-pushing accident, they get everything involved in Sofia's plot to be pushed out.

Ambassadors, or intelligence agents, seconded by small countries must at all costs have the reformers triumph. Otherwise, their country will be ravaged by evil demons.

While there are those approaching the Reformers, the Senate cannot be more dull than they can perceive it. Sitting at the heart of the country means that's all the information coming in from all over the country.

If we try them, it looks like those who sent their castle from a small country are about to rub against the reformists and crumble. Naturally, we must not send support to such countries.

"As always, it's a long way to go."

Kekeke, and Vine Arshley, who laughs, strokes Sophia's head.

"I've been meaning to tell you for a long time, why are you following me......!?

"Mm-hmm. That's you. It seems more interesting to be here, doesn't it?

The Lord of Revea Sue Dark City, known as Vine the Mad Blade, whispers in Sofia's ear with a viper grin. But when Sophia looks back at Vine with an ice gaze that doesn't make her feel the temperature, she snaps her nose.

"Do you want Revea Sue?

"Well, you'll be fine, won't you? Shrei and Lou have a bunch of sub-people."

"You're pretty trusted about those two, aren't you?"

"I'm not as confident as you are, though. So who are you meeting at midnight like this?

"... nothing, I'm not overconfident"

"I hope so. He's scared because he doesn't know what he's gonna do."

"You have something to be afraid of, too."

Laughing softly, Vine strokes Sophia's head. From his ramblingly stroked head, waving Vine's hand away, Sophia walked silently, seemingly grumpy that she was being treated like a child.

After a short walk out to a sparsely populated warehouse district, you reach the desired location. By then, Sophia and Vine have been hooded from their heads and, at first glance, have no idea who they are.

There were already two persons waiting for them where they had arrived, one of whom would be an escort. The sword hanging on his hips is used.

"... you're the one in the letter"

The man who opened his mouth was an old man who stood trying to be protected by an escort.

It was a sophia to just snort, but when I took the parchment out of my nose, I put it on the ground. Placing a stone on parchment to avoid flying in the wind, I take about ten steps back and speak out there for the first time.

"That's what it says you need to do"

He was an old man surprised by the girl's voice, but as he slowly advanced on his feet with his escort, he received Sophia's laid parchment and opened his eyes.

"... are you serious about this content"

"I'll take the price."

"But..."

"Former Saint Knight Galand Rifenin"

Sophia's voice reaches the old man who tried to make excuses. The old man silenced with a blue face as if he had been held to his breath.

"Who are you..."

To the inquiry of the old man, Sophia stamps a grin on his mouth with her index finger on his mouth. Ignoring the rush of fear, the old man throws a bag of gold coins from his nostalgia.

Receiving it and checking the contents, Sophia nodded and tried to turn her heel back, stopping at the look of Vine running her gaze with her hood only slightly up.

The old man puts a blue face, still with a face of determination, urging the escort with his gaze.

"... nothing else to say about this"

"I want you to trust me."

To the words of the old man, the escort leaves in front. Make him feel clear hostility and put his hands on the sword he lowered to his hips.

"I'm sorry, but this is also for my country..."

It was at the same time that the old man walked away with his heels back and the men dressed in black emerged from the shadow of the warehouse. Six of them.

"I'm sorry. Lady... this is my job too"

Sophia stares at that kind of escort man with a chilled out gaze.

"Nice, I like Atashi, you know"

Remove the hood as it is worn and Vine laughs. The two prey were seen as women. One of the men in black approached Vine, but Vine pulled out a thin song knife with a venomous snake grin engraved on his mouth.

"Especially if you're a bastard!

For one step to take, three flashes. Her blade, running in a silver flash, had severed the body of the man who had attacked her into four pieces. The unusual fat muscles and the atmosphere of Vine, who has no hesitation at all in slaying people, create a slight upset for the escorts.

It had already been settled. Six bodies without necks could be made that night in Warehouse Street, and it was early the next morning that it was found.

But the trivial murders in the holy kingdom of Alsace are anointed by the great events that follow.

In 461 on the calendar of the Holy King Alsace and in the early summer of the fourth year of the King's calendar of the Goblins, the incident occurred.

It is an attempt by the reformists to revolutionize the Holy Kingdom.
