Goblin Kingdom

Iron Country Elpha

After the death of the Alliance of Three Kingdoms, as Ardur prophesied, no nation could stop the advance of the Kingdom of the Black Sun (Arodena) anymore. Mixed armies northerly along the coast from the southernmost tip, Gi-Gi-Old's double-headed beast and Axe armies (Zairduk) regained momentum by the collapse of the Tri-National Alliance.

The army of tiger beasts and spears of Gi Gar Larks (Alan Sign) and the army of axes and swords of Gi Goo Verbena (Felduk), which also advance through mountainous areas as the northern limit of the Great Mountains separating the untouched regions of the north from the human regions of the south.

Alrodena continued his march with the exception of the untouched regions of the West, the North and the South in its grasp, crushing the small countries of the Lanceg region while increasing its authority.

Arlodena, the country where the Chaos Child Ghost (Goblin) was founded.

The nations still unable to protrude the fangs of conquest had no choice but to watch their wars and their trends, and only the Artigand of the Holy Kingdom, the only one to be harsh in the eastern part of the continent, was thought to be able to confront their invasion.

Severe winter season in the fourth year of the King's calendar.

In the eastern part of the continent, thin white makeup is applied to the mountains.

According to information gathered by Puel Sinforua, a military mentor in all of Arlodena, the Flying Dragon Knights had increased that number to 500 horsemen. The folks seemed to pepper the announcement of the Flying Dragon Knights that one horse equals 500 infantry men as it were.

At the tavern, when the men on their way home from work touch each other, they talk about the reliability of the Fei Long Knights, and near the joint well, the women talk about the fears of Goblin's nation-building.

The spoken voices of the people convey fear without passing. The thread of Puell's unleashed intelligence had already searched for information in the Artigand. Collect all information on rumors, product flows, prices, etc. whispered in the tavern and send it to Puell.

It was by that time Sophia, the surviving girl of the flight to freedom (Elks), not the military teacher Puell, who had the role of organizing and integrating that information.

Sophia, stretched by nature and its talents within the numerous intelligence, conspiracies involved under Puel, had become the right arm supporting Puel's intelligence battle on nature and that side. He infiltrated the enemy country on his own, fanning, disturbing, plotting, etc., while also using the organization to carry out intelligence warfare.

Picking up an orphan, her work in raising pawns for use in intelligence warfare meant a perversion of a blood alliance called Elks. Once, when the Alliance Lord Touri had led him, he was a small elite blood alliance that boasted strong unity like his family. But in the aftermath of the Alliance's death, the strong unity had to remain intact and equipped to fight nature and darkness.

There are also circumstances in which there were no other persons in charge of intelligence warfare on a country-by-country basis.

The main force of the Arlodena soldiers is, naturally, the goblins.

Though the personal charm and force of the King of Goblins is at the centre, I couldn't even flatter them for their suitability for intelligence warfare, etc. Nature, it had to be trusted allies in charge of that aspect, but the most outstanding of them were the survivors of Elks.

As Sophia grew, it was her own inevitability that Puell gave way to that role she had originally taken charge of. Being in a position to move the whole army as a military teacher Puel, she had to turn nature and its spindles towards politics as well.

Throughout her battle with the Shrubbing State, she was striving to raise her civilian status as well as expand it, knowing that stability in the rear was the condition for her to be able to unfortunately demonstrate the strength of the army.

Because of her role as a military teacher, her region was forced to degenerate into something close to the prime minister. No matter how competent and attractive the King of Goblins is, he cannot support his country by himself.

If so, it was only a natural consequence that it became the eyes and ears of the king, and that it was necessary for those who worked as hands and feet. Once upon a time, when the King of Goblins was contemplating the means of dominating man from the woods, the idea of a ministry following itself, derived as a conclusion, had finally begun to become realistic after Puel's hand.

Puel Sinforua to the position of Chancellor.

Named for the bureaucracy that assists the Chancellor, he was led by Josh Fagarmia, Governor of Nishidu, and served as the second seat for "Reiki Silence (Milfette)" Heren Meer.

As Commander-in-Chief of the East Expeditionary Army, “Silent Genius (Mardigus)" Gannon Ratosh.

And also from the fairies, a young and brilliant young man took his name. Princess Schnaria, daughter of the wise Schule, in the form of her assistant, but also Serena and others existed.

They bureaucratic groups, gathered around the human and fairy tribes, were the heretical talents needed to create and create the great powers. It is Puel's role to put them together and allow the East Expeditionary Army to exert its full strength.

He was a king of goblins who conducted his affairs honestly, but when it came to his excellent political and clerical handling skills, unfortunately, he would have been to a mediocre degree, to put it well.

As for the goblins, they were heretically capable, except for the Druids, but compared to those kinds of geniuses, the bunk would really fall.

As a king who also preferred to wave his sword on the front line, he was also too capable.

The policy conceived by the King of Goblin, assisted by Prime Minister Puel and embodied by a group of bureaucrats, was essential in moving the great powers, and was an explosive that promoted the gigantic undertaking of building a new nation.

The fast advances of Arlodena, with all the wheels of Bunwu, do not know that they will stay, and the soldiers fighting on the front line are the goblins of the hundred wars of refining. The number of soldiers replenished once a few months from the Fort of the Abyss, home of the Dark Forest, easily exceeds the tolerances of a country.

Thus, by the time he faced Elfa, the Iron Country, also known as the last fort in the Lanceg region, Arlodena had advanced his steps.

◆ ◆ ◇

The country, which names the descendants of the great Lanceg and demonstrates one of the best of the small nations, was called Elfa. Elfa, an iron country with the largest mining zone in the Lanceg region. Its output is sufficient to moisten the national treasury of a small country, and on the basis of the abundant funds Elfa has taken a policy of military dumping by the kings of history.

Two types of iron are made from quality ore produced in the region. It is water iron and rock iron.

The strength is very light water iron as it is and the weight is rock iron with the properties of playing magic as it is. It was only natural that the Knights of Heavy Wear, held by Elpha, the Iron Country, would arrive at these two iron-made pieces of equipment.

There are four heavy knights and four obedient knights that accompany them.

A country equipped with so many standing reserves was not first found in the turbulent Lanceg region of a small country, and only a large country could confront it. Strengthened military power to this point seemed like a good thing to swallow peripheral countries and take the road to hegemonic states, like the once great Lanceg, but Elfa's location conditions did not allow it.

It is the holy kingdom of Alsace that exists to the east.

Even though it faded, it was because the great powers of the east were aiming to take away the mineral resources that Tiger Sight and Elpha possessed, if there were any gaps. Along with that, Elfa, who also had a hostile small country from the north to the south, sometimes had to confront a small country targeting his country in association with Alsace, leaving little room for the Lanceg region to calm down.

But Elpha, the land of iron, never gave up the resurrection of Lanceg. The temperament of the people is stubborn and brave.

One day, I'll make sure...

That word, as if it were also a euphemism of Elpha, improved the crop-friendly national territory and brought the country and the people together to strengthen their armaments. But that's from the neighboring countries, nothing but annoyance.

The more armaments Elpha stepped up along the way, the more vigilant the neighbouring countries were forced to rub against the great power Alsace.

But it was the great invasion of Arlodena in the west, starting with the Battle of the Virgin, that was to throw a ripple at that situation that was constant. The state of the country, swallowing and swelling the countries of the west with the momentum of the bamboo, was sufficient to forget for a moment only the certainty of man to man.

The Iron Country Elpha and the surrounding countries sent rescue to the ivory tower, which raised the Virgin of the Goddess of Healing (Zenobia) to its flag, to confront Arlodena, but the result is an unbroken defeat: Elpha, who lost one heavy knighthood, would be busily killed in its reconstruction.

The people withstood heavy taxes, the king withstood coarse food, and the army lit a fire on their nails, but they were forced to make a covenant. And the miners spared no time to keep working in the mines while they slept.

It was one heavy knighthood thus rebuilt, but the eastern powers to be prepared had accomplished the impossible and had changed their name to Holy Kingdom and become even more powerful. The Holy Kingdom Artigand, the Lie or True or the Brave, came to Elpha from that country to sign an alliance, in the midst of the Troika taking on the offensive of the Goblins.

The Elpha side debated the offensive alliance with a young woman's messenger.

Among them was Rasdill, the son of the late Rasmore, who insisted that the alliance should be rapidly consolidated. It was he, the big, muscular man, who spoke loudly and insisted on an alliance with Artigand, not to denigrate his father, who took an alias with General Iron Bull.

"We just have to make an alliance anyway, so only if it's quick."

His height is a giant body approaching 2m. At a time when the average height was only about half a metre, he could also be a giant. Thick neck to support it. The overwhelming limbs stretching from it overwhelm what you see.

"That being said, I don't trust that country!

At Elpha's meeting, it consisted of six chief knights and kings of the army's top executives, plus eight prime ministers who would undertake to conduct politics. Rusdill, the newly created leader of the Heavy Knights, opened his mouth even more as he turned a sharp gaze to you.

"So you think you're going to make an alliance with Goblin?

"It's..."

Confirming that the captain, who had earlier expressed his opposition to the alliance with Artigand, would be stuck in words, Rasdill sighed, spitting.

"Even I don't want to say this in front of my esteemed seniors, but the remnants of the past should be watered down"

I scratch my short, mowed hair tight, and Rusdill runs out.

"… Indeed, in the midst of a lush western power and a buoyant eastern power, it may be difficult for our country to maintain its independence, independent of either"

The words of the Chancellor are addressed to the six captains and kings.

"What, um... but no"

The Cavaliers have to bite their teeth.

Whatever Rasdill says is true. It is also self-evident that since it is impossible to join hands with goblins, the only way to do so is to join hands with artigands later.

But the emotional question lies in the question of how easy it is to join hands with hatred from your father's generation. The temperamental ones in their Knights can even say if goblins aren't better yet.

So much for the Iron Country (Elpha), the remorse against the great powers of the east is deep and intense.

Eventually, at the meeting that day, no conclusions could be found and the dissolution was to be welcomed.

Rasdill, the head of the newly founded Knights, was drawn to his chamber. I was worried about how I could convince them of anti-Artigand forces.

I beg your pardon.

To the voice of a young woman, Rasdill switches his head from the sea of thought.

"Who?

It was a messenger from Artigand who opened the door and came in. To the extent that I said I was a platoon leader in the Knights of the Feilongs, I'm also a low-ranking daughter from Rusdill.

"... What can the Apostle do for you late in the night like this?

"Dear Rasdill, how troubled you are. I was hoping you could help me a little."

Rusdill, who tried to beat such a messenger up aggressively with his face, stopped moving at the inches.

"… if so, you will be promptly returned to your room, but it will be good"

And Rasdil, and the people of Elpha. Emotionally, I never liked artigands. If circumstances permit, he even wanted to attack east now.

However, it must not be a human condition, such as kneeling in the west goblin.

Even after a hundred years of remorse, he thought he had to attach an alliance and protect the independence of his country.

"No, you must help my Lord."

From Rusdill's point of view, she is only a girl around her chest, even if she stood up. I am not lost in that language, nor am I afraid.

Normally no matter how messengers look up to great men like Rasdill, it is no wonder that instinctively the notion of fear is evoked.

But Rasdill didn't have time to haunt his head at such an opportune time. I just want to get rid of the artigant messengers who are frustrating just to be there.

"So I guess this is why you're bothering your head! If you think for the Lord's sake, get out of here!

The girl turned a grin like she had drawn her mouth to Rusdill as she stood up and tried to disengage the messenger girl. Open eyes of pupils, like a peek into the abyss, floating in your mouth is a cracked grin. Rasdill's anger was fogged with a grin that made him feel sad, just neat.

That's all Rusdill finally realized that the messenger's condition was unusual.

"Mm!?

"You must be of service to my Lord."

What the girl had in her hands was a demonic stone.

crushed to pieces. That doesn't matter if you hurt the girl's hand. She squeezes them, the dripping blood falls to the floor. Blood falling on the floor shapes the magic formation by drawing circles as if it were willful.

"I am the one who calls your name (warp)!"

The dripping blood emitted, pulsating as if it were a depression, and its circumference showed spread.

It was a man of good looks to say he was a young boy who showed up from a more strongly pulsating magic formation. I don't know what materials are used for the armor that wraps around me, but its gloss and strength were found at a glance in Rusdill, who grew up in the land of iron.

And most importantly, what he glanced at was the glow that just covered the boy in front of him.

A boy possessed of the authority of the Absolute, who wants to bend his knees unintentionally, to drool his head and pledge allegiance.

"You're Rusdill, Elfa's young captain."

"Ha!"

Rasdill replied to me after being overheard and on his knees.

I wonder what I'm doing myself.

I bow my head to a boy whose name is unknown... as if he were a knight who vows allegiance or some sort of schematic.

Even though I told myself that it couldn't be good to have that happen, my body didn't listen to me easily. It's like the strange feeling of your mind and body being separated in a dream.

Together, Rasdil waited for the next word to come from the young man, savoring the strange feeling that even that would translate into joy.

"I need a partner. A collaborator to defeat the demon king coming from the west and reclaim the human world."

To the word Demon King, Rasdill fought again.

Goblin, he insulted me as a goblin, but surely the main force in the army, even as a goblin, is not what I found lurking behind it. In the sight of even some of the orc soldiers, or are those goblins just an advance party, with more enemies in the west than that?

Or that's the Demon King.

Rasdill thinks on his knees to a young man in support of his own idea that it is not a case of contention between humans.

"Rasdill"

"Ha."

"With me, will you fight? To save humans."

"Happy... but what the hell are you?

"I'm a brave man."

The glow that erodes the young captain's heart smashes its last resistance into fine dust.

"To save humans, brave men"

Three days later, at a conference held again, Elfa, the Iron Nation, confirmed an offensive alliance with Artigand.

Elfa, claiming to be descendant of the great Lanceg, set his blade on Arlodena, which looms with furious momentum.

◆ ◇ ◆

─ ─ Elpha, the Iron Country, orders the Knights to deploy.

Sophia frowned at Elfa's move to tightly close the border with the former trinity alliance, raising the report to Puel.

"Elfa's moving really fast."

Puell, lurking his willow brow, snapped when he heard a report from Sophia. As if the stray had disappeared, that move cementing the border when you instantly gave the Knights a march order.

Three heavy and light knights have already been deployed along the border, with the exception of the newly established Knights for King's Capital defense. This rate was unexpected for Puell.

Until the other day, the report said, will you be allied with the great power Artigand, will you join the Goblin side to defend independence again, or will you fight alone with knowledge of the impossibility? It was supposed to be so much confusion that it cracked the country to take either option.

In addition, it is a transitional capital.

Royalty moves to the city near the border with Artigand.

This was no longer a secret or anything, and because it was made public, the alliance between Artigand and Elpha was no longer certain.

"Rusdill, who became the new Knight Commander of everything, turned to persuade the other captains,"

"Is that all...?

"Yes, there were no other major moves..."

"Thanks, keep gathering information"

"Okay."

Puell ponders after Sophia pulls back.

Is that all?

Rapid development of the Feilong Knights, the annexation of the maritime state Yama, the reception of refugees and food aid from the archipelago countries. Plus I'm here, and an iron country that can be called an uncluttered heaven is about to be a shield for artigands.

It's uncomfortable as if you're building up stones to forcefully change the flow of the river.

But reports from undercover detectives who forced Artigand to infiltrate were certain that Artigand's finances were on the way to deterioration.

Or tailor a refugee to a soldier?

I further refute my own conclusions.

You must train, feed, and obey commanders where to procure the weapon, and with human soldiers. It was a very golden substitute, if polarized. I don't think they will serve those who were refugees until recently.

I'm going to forget that goblins are the main focus, like Arlodena, but every soldier was very expensive.

He's a surge soldier, and he can't possibly be any match for Arlodena's goblin soldiers who survived the war.

There can be no enemy, but the ominous red skies of the Battle of the Virgin were burning behind Puel's brain.

"Or what if humans started treating one end of the power of the gods?

Through Josh, I heard about a man who was trying to manipulate Lecia in an ivory tower.

If so, will you not abandon the possibility of summoning those who are even more influential than that?

……

But assuming that's the case, Elfa is stuck in front of Arlodena. If we stick our hands together and show them the gap, that's all we'll give Artigand time to prepare.

The point of the invasion is speed.

This conclusion remains unchanged.

If so, there is nothing but to concentrate the overwhelming power of war on Elpha, the Iron Nation, and to plunge that country into one. For example, she had to hang up her card.

Fortunately, the bureaucracy organised under Puel has shown its full strength.

West Nippon plunges into the royal castle floor where he can trample.

The king of Goblin, who regained his physical condition, had just cleaned up his affairs.

"Excuse me. King."

I see no change in the complexion of the king of goblins raising his gaze. The figure of Lecia, the Virgin who refrains next door, remains the same as usual. Naturally, he exhaled a breath of relief and drowned his head to hide it.

"Your Majesty, there has been a critical requirement today"

"Battle."

"Your will. The aim is Elpha, the last corner iron country of the group of small nations that extends into the centre of the continent"

To the king who listens to her words in silence, she continues her words.

"While swallowing this country, we will attack the great eastern power of Artigand."

"Finally, huh"

"Yes, it is the last battle on this continent"

The king of Goblin, who nodded loudly, commanded Puel to rise from the chair in which he was sitting.

"Give me a touch. I'm going out."

"As you wish."

Around the 5th New Year of the King's Calendar, King of Goblins, Parental Recruitment.

It is about the time in the east that the war end between Elpha, the Iron Nation, and the East Expeditionary Army is about to be opened. The newspaper, which came from the king's capital Revea Sue, ran around.
