Moving Small States

Side: Yuki

"... is the current state of Weed."

I'm gonna go back to my room after the meeting and get Weed's report from Killer.

In order to understand the current state of Weed's environment, separate from the investigation of politics and magic depletion phenomena.

"I see. It's time for a lot of dissatisfaction."

"Yes, there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction among small countries that the last meeting of the Intercontinental Exchange Alliance was supposed to be a gathering of major powers from each continent. Nevertheless, I don't like that Weed is the only one who gets preferential treatment."

"... well, I was expecting that. So, what about Sarsari?

"Unfortunately, senpai is right. For those of you who don't know Weed's true face, it's hard to line up with the big country like a tiny country that simply can't be called a small country that just happened to have a dungeon thanks to Elge. That's what comes out. Besides, the great power sent his wife to a grand wedding. No, it was really beautiful, Samantha."

"Is that also the cause....."

I might be glad to remember Samantha's bride, but for me, it's not too funny that it triggered the shock and the countries swayed again.

"You don't have to worry about welcoming the wife. Anyway, it's not the intention of the country, but everyone wants to marry their husband. And it's profitable. I don't suppose there's anything wrong with your wife's country of origin."

"That's right. Shinsen is just a blurt from a statue elephant. But the problem is, if you send them, they'll give you a favor. That's why there are so many of them!"

"... is that for real?"

"... yes, unfortunately it's true. Even if you do that, there's no way your husband will be confused by the fragrance."

"Ahahah. That's really true. Hey, how hard it was for that Samantha lady at first. Initially, you ignored a woman who wanted to do everything she could with Nice Buddy, right?

"There it is. I didn't even think about getting married in the first place. Anyway, I was already married and had kids."

Yes, when I went to Lancer Magic Academy, I was already married and had children.

And yet, no matter what the beauty, seeing the students and coming out with their hands is probably a bad person with a strong cheating habit.

"But be prepared. About half of those visitors are women."

Huh?

"It's true. Incidentally, Cellaria said it might be better to use this as an opportunity to put in about one person," The Player. "

"Whoa, whoa."

I can't afford to be surrounded by such a mere mistress because I'm afraid of information leaks.

And I don't need that kind of woman.

"No, as far as I'm concerned, I don't think Milord is accumulating that kind of stress. Well, a typical kingdom nobleman makes at least one or two of those women breathe out of his work."

"Ah, I won't do that even if I'm wrong."

There's no such thing as a woman under stress.

'Women are important' is my basic principle.

"Well, Cellaria is not half joking. Besides, you can't tell anyone what you're holding."

"Ahahah, really, it's just information at a level that doesn't make me shy!"

"I guess so. But in that case, I wish I refused all the introductions. Why bother?"

"That's because, nominally, you just come to say hello. In the first place, we don't just go through the idiots who say we're here to introduce women."

"Yes, it's solid, to the boulder. However, the people who decided that Cellaria couldn't break down anyway....."

"I see. You thought I could do it. But are you going to get a favor just because you dropped me?

"You can't do that."

Certainly. Would it be natural for me, the ruler, to take care of it as a country?

Whether it's taken for granted or preferential treatment is for each person.

"Well, they're going to be asking you to pay the price for raising a woman. You will see the small country around you. After all, being husband's concubine is worth it in a sense. Well, well, if you think carefully, your husband is really better than Her Majesty Queen Cellaria, so it may be a strange sight to target him."

Well, sure.

Sasari is right, we can say that we have identified the area, but it is the level of what happened.

... hmm? Hold on a second. Identify?

"... oh yeah. And then you're going to dig up some talent."

"Yes, Your Majesty probably wants it. I'm not asking you to leave the referred woman by your side. On the contrary, I was wondering if you could measure your talent through that small country."

"Well, we should assume that they're totally spies, so Weed is more skilled at using the halls, but we'll still be able to pull the members of Weed through them."

"I see. Can we increase the number of heads for now? But the level of education....."

Nevertheless, it is difficult to use it on the assumption that it is a spy.

Anyway, Cellaria thought it was the lack of talent that was the problem with this cheap empire.

"I wonder if we should give education a good deal later. Also, this is the information I got, but it seems that Slave Movement has been strange lately."

"Slave movements?

"Yes, the distributor. Wiede himself only buys and sells trusted slaves, so the circulation of slaves within Wiede has not changed much, but I hear strangely more slaves from smaller countries."

"More slaves from smaller countries?

"Oh, then I got caught in my ear too. Apparently, there are more skirmishes."

"A skirmish? Is that war?

"Can we go to war? Ah, is it a border dispute?"

"Yes, because of the collision between the country and the country, there is no doubt that it is a war in the broad sense, but it does not seem to be so big as it actually is. Do you remember when your husband told you about how to set the border?

Border?

Hmm, I think I said something like that...

"Oh, sure, if both countries claim to belong to a border village or town, are you saying that by declaring under an intermediary country that the top of the village or town will be under the protection of one country or another, it will become the territory of the declared country?

"Yes, that's right. If you ask just that, it's easy to do as a village or town because it just reveals who you belong to....."

"For small countries, even if there is only one town, leaving them is a matter of life and death in itself."

Certainly.

Villages and towns are places that naturally generate so-called financial resources.

In other words, if you can occupy it, your assets will increase.

In national operations, taking villages and towns away from enemies is a frivolous way to increase the strength of one's own country while shredding the power of the hostile country.

That's why you die crazy and seek out villages and towns.

Yes, because, as Killer said, if even one town is taken, you can't stand up at once.

"... that's why the border dispute is intensifying. But there must be an arbitration between the great powers, right?

Yes, the border dispute was basically brokered and dealt with by the powers before the battle got bigger.

If we can't do that, we won't be able to reap the benefits of using gates, etc., and the country will be crowded with other countries...

"... I see, the penalty is meaningless for small countries."

"Yes, because such small countries benefit less from intercontinental alliances, and in some cases have few imports or exports at the gates, they are not penalties and the big countries that know them are less likely to actively engage."

"I see. Why don't you take the trouble of crushing a small country without what you're giving it?"

"That's right. Even if you crush a small country that is in small competition at the border in the first place, there is nothing good for the big countries. And I didn't give you anything in the first place, so it's unreasonable."

Yeah, Sarsari's right.

Just because we're fighting over borders doesn't mean we can crush the country for that reason. The collapse of small States creates refugees, and if they do not increase it, the great Powers will instead take labor and money to govern.

Would it be better for the big countries to wait and see until the skirmish between the small countries is over?

"But if that happens, the winning country will do well, and the losing country will do whatever it takes to get the border back. But not by force. Then...."

"That's where Weed comes out. In fact, how many of these visits do you want to talk about at the border?

"Well, there were 43 visits this time, one of them."

Oh, surprisingly few.

Until now, there was only one case where we talked like a lot of visitors about the incident.

"Yes, as Milord said, there are certainly no penalties, but it is a fact that the big countries still see it. So, given what happens afterwards, there's not much benefit to having a border dispute in the first place."

"We're talking about whether you want to get so many towns and villages, or whether you want them to be seen by the big countries. However, there are many places where people are hiding and doing quite a disservice in order to reconfirm the border. And as a result, slaves are growing."

"Ah, you're running to secure the border town before the big powers arbitrate."

"Yes. After all, it's important for the border village or town to say that they belong, so one way to do this is to leave the local residents behind? That's what I'm talking about."

"I see, the hostiles will be enslaved and sent out, and when the border is determined, the men of their own country will declare themselves residents there."

"I'm more certain of that. So it was the people who were enslaved."

Certainly, the face-to-face "war" is gone, but did you shift to such a backward battle?

Well, isn't that more than the total annihilation of towns and villages?

"There is only one messenger in this interview who directly talks about border determination, but in fact, there are probably many who complain that they are in trouble with the combination."

"Therefore, it is highly likely that Milord will come to see my daughter and woman. After all, if we can bring Milord on our side, that's enough to keep him safe."

"Hmm, the goal is to ensure national security... Nevertheless, that is the highlight of the genius of the kings who unite the small nations. If that's all you can do, it's just until then. I can't live with that kind of thing anymore."

It sounds like a terrible thing to say, but in the end, the small nations are saying the same thing about feeding themselves because they can't live on their own.

I'm not good enough to accept such a thing.

The adjustment of such troubles is left to each big country, and if I don't have the strength to say so, the small country won't tell me to cry in the first place. All you have to do is appeal to the great powers that are your guardians.

"Yes, I think that was a mistake. However, that is why slavery from small countries is increasing. This is just the right way to get information from countries."

"Oh, there you are. Let's make sure we buy those slaves."

Anyway, the more slaves we buy, the more information we gather about small countries.

I don't think you'll find any clues to the phenomenon of magic depletion from there, but it's important to use these tricks.

"But perhaps you'll be introduced to a wonderful woman. After all, small countries are seeking refuge, and no stupid women will come. So, what do you do then?

"Well, I want good people, but I don't have a spy. Let's take a look and think about it."

So, I was supposed to hear Weed's tip, but I checked the information on the visit tomorrow, and I got sloppy.
