Golden Experience

Portley Kingdom.

Situated in the southern part of the continent, this country is prone to a mild climate all year round.

Although the soil is hard and the land is unsuitable for cultivated land due to its large undulations, most of the land is sometimes forested, and many orchards that make use of the warm climate are found.

The staple food of the elves, who make up more than 90% of the population, is the fruit that can be taken from this orchard.

Recently, however, there have been frequent incidents in which some orchards have been attacked by someone and damaged by farmers and others.

"Bandits?

"Yes. In some cities near the northwestern border, food raids by suspected bandits are on the rise."

King Portley-King Ustasche, now King Portley-King, received a report from a palace official in his central palace office.

It is not something that was originally known to Ustashe, regardless of whether the local people were deprived of their food.

But it is this turbulent time when a seventh calamity emerged and neighboring Hills perished.

Not necessarily what inspires you to destroy your country.

As far as the reports from the grass that lurked in the hills were concerned, there were no notable mistakes in the response to the hills.

It is said that we took measures and retreated once, which means that we lost pure strength as a result.

The aristocrats of Ustashe and Portley, high elves, are so strong that they are not comparable to the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Hills. There are differences as a race, but differences in the years they've piled up. Elves have a long life.

But that's why I'm not fooled enough to think I can fight a disastrous demon. It's not possible if the artifact can be activated. But I don't want to try it.

Prepare for the worst and pay close attention to securing supplies, including food.

Even so, even though the royal family trusts and leaves it to govern, if the damage is being done, it is the responsibility of the lord.

"I suppose it's good for bandits because the city's defenses aren't working. Who is the lord?"

"Reports are rising to Viscount Pasquier and the territory of the Cobalt Border Uncle"

"Cobalt's?... there's a big area there, and you must have had a pretty sizeable knighthood in front of you, huh? It's not supposed to be the kind of war you can do with a burglar."

"According to the report, the demons in that realm seem restless here, and there seems to be a change in the type of demons that emerge.

I have to deal with you, and I can't handle the bandits. "

"... that the type of demon has changed, which means that many of the top races are now showing up or something?

I'm not kidding.

The fact that the monster in the realm has risen should mean that the boss of the realm, who is its leader, has also risen.

Because I don't know when I'm going to get out of the realm and hit the city again.

About a month ago, monsters flooded all over the country, causing a lot of damage.

It is that great flood that has been prompted by the creation of a disaster.

"No, it seems that a completely different kind has emerged."

Undead again?

The last flood saw undead gushing out of demonic realms everywhere. Whether that undead overflowed the surroundings, or the undead flooded with inspired native demons, that's how it flooded.

"No. Reports are rising that demons of fragmentation have appeared, such as goblins and cobolts"

"... what is that? I've never heard of anything like that. I guess it's an accurate report."

"There is also the signature of the Cobalt Borderline Uncle, no doubt about it"

If this man is going to say it, I'm sure. He is also the Seal Officer in the palace. He also remembers all the handwriting of the main nobles.

Every time a letter arrived, it was a detour to summon him to 'sign', so he ordered him to work as a government official with a king. It would be troublesome for him to do more work, but speaking of the emblem officer, it was a profession that used to run around the country as an army ambassador and messenger. It would have been better compared to that.

"It stinks a lot these days. Maybe we need to find out what's going on. A seventh calamity is being created in the north. It could have something to do with that.

According to this, not even the bandits have anything to do with it. "

"The burglar seems to be a human being."

"It's irrelevant if you think it's coming from the hills destroyed by disaster."

"... yes, the damage is in the Northwest, but it's not far from the Hills border."

The Hills kingdom is northeast from Portree's point of view, and the Northwest has the Oral kingdom.

But even though there has just been a coup d 'état, it is hard to imagine that there will be enough refugees to dress up as bandits in the aural, which is now surprisingly politically stable.

Weird bandits must be working their wits and working in disguise so that they don't understand that their strongholds are in the former Hills.

Send a knight to Cobalt to investigate.

"What about Viscount Pasquier's territory?

Send a Punishment Officer over there. Bring Pasquire to King's Landing if he seems to be doing something wrong. Pasquire's incompetence is serious if he has done nothing wrong and has failed to deal with bandits. Kill him. "

Elves have a longer lifespan or are less fertile than other species. Absolutely few.

Of those few elves, High Elves are even scarcer.

Recently, there seems to be an increase in the number of mercenaries without mercenaries appearing from anywhere, both outside and in Japan, but it is not a noble elf when choosing the position of mercenary in the first place. They are just another species with a similar appearance. Though not speaking externally, Worcester called it the ear-long barbarian.

Such rare high elves are immersed in electorate ideas.

Even the smaller number of elves, the more chosen and present, are their own high elves.

It is therefore unacceptable to be incompetent and must be exceptionally good at being born into a high elf.

An incompetent high elf is more vicious than an evil working high elf.

"And no matter how hungry you are, it's hard to forgive you to enter the country where the noble elves live on earth.

Soldier to the nearest city of Hills, where the bandits appear to be. We need to take back what's been taken. "

"Are you sure? We're not sure where the burglars live yet."

"It doesn't matter. A country called Hills no longer exists in this world. Then the Hills Nation also doesn't exist. Even if you're wrong, you can't complain about how many people you've killed that don't exist.

It is mainly food that has been taken away, and even if we really do take it back, we can't just keep it that way. All you have to do is plunder a good portion of the food that has been taken. "

Most countries are economically complete within their own borders, and so far there has been no attempt to do business with other countries.

There are also circumstances in which each royal family owns an artifact. In the unlikely event of a total collision, it would be troublesome to use that one.

Or if a war breaks out and either country owns an artifact for two countries, the others won't shut up.

Put your shoulders on the disadvantaged before that happens, or tie hands with the dominant and mountain apart the artifacts you take away. If every country thought so, it would develop into a war involving the whole continent. Even if I could win, I'm not free.

You don't have to take it away from me. It's filled, and no country has a strong enough motive to go to war.

In the first place, in every country, there are demons lurking right next door. I'm not as free as I am arguing between those who speak the truth.

Even if something conflicting happens, apparent peace should be preserved by the presence of artifacts.

But that also means that a country that does not have it is not a threat to anything as a country. If you say anything more about Hills, it's no longer even a country without royalty.

If, then, there is no need to shy away from those who live there, and it is to the detriment of their own country, it is only natural to exterminate it.

There is a possibility that bandits are coming from the Oral Kingdom, but we cannot ask honestly, nor attack Oral cities.

If the other party is a decent country, there are procedures to follow.

Besides, I can't do anything to hold the other country fully accountable because the bandits have attacked me beyond its borders. Except when it comes to state-led looting.

Something like a burglar who doesn't belong to any country is essentially no different from those demons there. It's worse in a city you can't protect.

That's why I'm not going to cry to sleep. We need to take back what was taken, and honestly, it doesn't matter if the person we're taking back was really a bandit. It matters whether or not you're going to complain.

"Ah, and. I forgot to mention, the only way to march is in the city. Never approach the realm of monsters.

There is disaster in that country. I don't want to be irritated by boring things. "

The people of Portley are mostly elves and in small numbers.

In addition, High Elves can't afford to have too many family members because of the high cost of "missions".

For these reasons, Portley has a small national army and very few Knights.

But the power of the soldier is so great that it is not comparable to that of any other country, that every soldier, if I may say so, is one thousand.

The realm of demons was also far away, and it was impossible, for example, to counter them in an agricultural city that did not have a dedicated knighthood.

That city on the edge of Hills was destroyed overnight from the start of the battle, and the name disappeared from the map.

The Portley-army renamed it "Outpost One," and all the inhabitants were killed.

Players who play agriculture primarily and merchant players who happen to be stopping by were also killed without exception and rispawned. Those who were returned to the former city were luckier, players and others who had never left this city were randomly rispawned with a draw of lispawned points all over the continent because the Kingdom of Hills no longer existed.

The players became hot enough to talk about it at the SNS and organize a volunteer army to reclaim the city. However, those who realized that the residents to be handed over after the recovery had already been killed stopped it and only recruited the players for bad feelings towards the Kingdom of Portree, and the story ended.

Even if the conversation is over, the SNS log does not disappear.

And there are players in the Hills Kingdom who regularly check out threads named "Hills".
