972nd moat: neutrality in the true sense
Neutrality in the true sense
Side: yuki
"No, Princess Parfil. It was helpful to have a calm response to Heine.
"... naturally. I was exasperated because that messenger was so out of common sense that I would give it back properly to the polite."
We were safely finishing returning our stupid advance party and talking to Princess Parfil in the conference room about our earlier meeting with Wave, the Heine Fleet Commander.
What was surprising was Princess Parfil's commonsense dialogue with Hein.
I was probably putzing and wondering if we could discuss it.
So, for that reason, the meeting was going to be cancelled and I was going to ask you to stop visiting the port of Aurelia.
There's nothing I can do to get attacked by an ally.
"But now we, no, Weed, have been positioned as neutral, are you sure?
"That's okay. It's not a choice between enemy or ally. As a weed, you should calmly confirm both positions clearly."
"I know what you think, but the battle between Zlable and Hain will finally intensify. In that case, wouldn't this port of Aurelia be under intense pressure from both countries?
I'm not the one who answered that question...
"That's a subtle place there. No, it's probably unlikely to happen."
"Master Shaw."
Yes, it is Shaw, the Great Staff, the Great Warrior and the Wise Man known as the Great King's Desire, which is proud of the Zrabble Great Empire.
Needless to say, I seem to understand the situation properly and continue to explain it.
"This port of Aurelia is a far away enclave from the Empire of Hain, and from our Zlable Great Empire it can be said that it is only a remote place, the edge of the continent"
……
Hurt by what they say is seclusion, Princess Parfil will look blatantly sad.
Seeing that, I wondered, is Princess Parfil basically a character whose joy and sorrow are easy to get on the table?
It's so much easier for them to understand the expression of their feelings than just to be puffy. To put it badly, exaggerate.
Soon Shaw also seemed to realize that his words had hurt Princess Parfil......
"Oh, excuse me. I said secluded, but it doesn't mean rural or anything. It's a strategic story about how difficult or beneficial it is to maintain."
"I see. This port of Aurelia is a troublesome land for both of us to secure and maintain."
"Exactly. Already the Gusud kingdom is surrounded by the territory of the Zlable Great Empire, an area from which, from the Hain Empire, reinforcements cannot be sent from outside the sea. For my Zlable, on the other hand, it is an area that cannot be a stepping stone to Heen in the first place. In fact, the port of Aurelia has become an indispensable place for the great empire of Zlable."
Right. Originally the Zlable Great Empire invaded the port of Aurelia in order to steadily purchase Magic Gear.
I am not just saying that I want to ensure rear safety.
And the reason we Weed in Aurelia Harbor aren't under pressure from any of that...
"Is that what you mean? Even in a neutral position, as long as Weed is in the port of Aurelia, the Empire of Hein will not need to send reinforcements to the Gusud kingdom."
"Exactly. The Reich of Haine has no longer requested reinforcements from the Kingdom of Gusud, so it makes no sense to march on purpose. I know the advance party was hit, but I don't think we're going to be able to allocate personnel to the port of Aurelia until we release the Zlable Empire, even though we don't have to, when only two merchant ships have been lost and the damage to personnel is minor."
Shaw is right, if you take it from Hein, there will be no more requests for reinforcements from the Kingdom of Gusud, nor will they be separately occupied by an exotic named Weed.
That in this situation, there is no reason to bother sending troops.
Indeed, I must say that there is no zero possibility of trying to defend the port of Aurelia as the ally of the emperors, but it is extremely low.
"Besides, we Weed came out."
"Yes. Master Yuki is right. If there is no weed, and only the port of Aurelia has remained alone, then either our Zlable Great Empire or the Empire of Hain will be in competition to suppress the land..."
"Ladies and gentlemen Yuki, a third country with the power of Weed is here to protect our Gusud kingdom, so you no longer need to interfere from either?
"Exactly. The presence of Weed will not destroy the Kingdom of Gusud, nor will the great empire of Zlable come out of the port of Aurelia to the sea. I mean..."
"That's why the Empire of Hein no longer has a reason to bother sending soldiers. Or if we move poorly, we Weed can retreat and be more troublesome"
"Does that mean that this is a very convenient situation for the Reich of Haine and that there is no point in daring to put pressure on it in the first place?
"Yeah. Exactly."
The presence of Weed has created a safe neutral zone, albeit pseudo.
A neutral zone not merely due to promises made to counterparts who cannot trust each other, but due to circumstances that have considerable power and where both interests coincide.
There's no reason to dare make it go bankrupt.
"Well, if the Empire of Hain knew the true value of this Aurelian port, he would come first to crush it"
"Naturally. In that case, the Great Empire will do everything in its power to protect you."
"... I don't know what kind of agreement has been made between you two, but you both look bad"
"That's right. Adults are bad things."
"Yeah. Exactly. But was Princess Parfil really good with this? You would have had the option of asking the Reich for help. Regardless of the first fool, I hear Heine's fleet commander was decent?
Speaking of which, yeah.
The option also existed for Princess Parfil to rely once again on the Empire of Hein.
Though he did not make it to the demise of the Gusud kingdom, he must have given us proper reinforcements.
There existed an in-laws to keep their promises with Kitin.
So it seems like you can trust me somewhat......
"No. I have decided to believe in the Zlable Great Empire, and the Weed people. I no longer trust the Empire of Hein itself. Indeed, that man, Lord Wave of Fleet Command, was not trustworthy. But it doesn't even make sense now that the Kingdom of Gusud is doomed."
……
If you say so, you can't say anything anymore.
What matters in the world is not the process, but the result.
Well, it may be different for those who were crushing the process nearby, but in the end, the process only seems to those nearby.
From the side, all I know is the result.
Defense of the Kingdom of Gusud.
That didn't make it.
That's the truth.
"... I hate to call your father a fool, but I believe the Kingdom of Gusud is doomed for relying only on the Empire of Haine. Thus, we are also able to talk properly with the Great Empire of Zlable, so the Kingdom of Gusud should also have had a solid discussion, like Yuki, Weed. Well, you can say anything else with wisdom. In fact, I was once just a little girl who didn't know anything, and I believed that the great empire of the Zrabble was evil just because of rumors."
Princess Parfil, who laughs so bitterly, is somewhere lonely.
Well, you're gonna feel like you can't do it somewhere.
But at the next moment Princess Parfil returns to her resolute face......
"Once again, I ask the Great Emperor Wangshaw of the Zlable Great Empire. I, the men of the former Gusud kingdom, swear to go down to the great empire of Zlable and fight the Empire of Hain together. Please, could you tell His Majesty Emperor Zlable this once now?
I pleaded firmly.
I see Princess Parfil wanted to take this opportunity to declare that she would definitely be on the zlable side.
Since the Zrabble side has been on hold so far, it was just the right case to improve it.
So, that sounds like Shaw knows very well too......
"... ha. I get it. Let's get confirmation from His Majesty. But you're surprisingly strong. Princess Parfil."
"Yes, because I have learned a lot and hope to be strong. Like Master Shaw."
"Come on, you seem overrated. But I'm glad to hear that."
Shaw looks embarrassed by Princess Parfil's honest compliments.
Now I wonder if the direction of the Kingdom of Gusud has been set.
Okay, let's make a push from me too.
"Now, let's give Emperor Zlable a little help in accepting the offer."
The two of them don't understand what I'm saying and wear their little necks, but in the meantime Ellis and Rats come into the room.
"Mr. Yuki, we have received the supplies requested by the Zlable Great Empire"
"All you have to do is get Shaw and the others to inspect it."
"Become!? Has it arrived yet!?
Princess Parfil won't know, but this is unfortunately a secret.
"Our ship is fast, isn't it? Besides, I was offshore earlier. So it didn't seem to take that long. So, can I have a test, please? By the way, if you listen well to Princess Parfil's request, I'll give you about ten for free."
"... this is also immaterial"
"Think of Princess Parfil. Doesn't mean we'll be around forever."
We don't even know what will happen to the end of this land.
In the near future, there's a chance that we'll be completely behind bars.
That kind of connection would be necessary to protect the land of the last remaining country.
"I'm not going to abandon them, but do I still need a reliable handover?"
"That would be more reassuring. Far beyond the sea and mountains."
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm eager to go to that distant country someday..."
"I'll show you as much as I can when things settle down. So, first of all, please do what's right in front of you."
"Okay. If that's all they say, I'll only tell them about Princess Parfil. … then go ahead."
Such a show looks back to Princess Parfil......
"Princess Parfil. If time seems to be available right now, can't we hope to hang out? To tell His Majesty what happened earlier."
"Yes! Welcome!
I wondered if that was the case, Princess Parfil would gladly follow after Shaw.
"So, Yuki. This is a report of information gathered by Mr. Curse and the others."
"I feel pah, and I mean there's never been any sign of a major flood before. But it's just information within the Gusud Kingdom..."
"It could have happened elsewhere. When it comes to gathering information around it..."
As I listen to Ellis and Ratz, I look at the material on the availability of records in the Guzd kingdom about the massive flood of demons told by the athletes.
Indeed, as Ellis and Rats put it......
"Right. There is also the name of Princess Parfil or delivering supplies. Then we'll look into the matter in Imperial City. Get ready."
"" Yes ""
This is how we began to prepare for the Zurable Empire again.
