142. Conclusion of the "Human Demon Alliance" - Part 2 ~

(This is a continuation of the previous one)

"The other day was a brilliant salvation of the sacred city of Septeno." Nowadays, I personally highly appreciate the achievements that avoided the annihilation of humanity. "

"Thank you for that."

"...... I'm a little doubtful, can I ask you something?"

Go ahead?

I said, tilting my neck.

"Can't you be more proud of what you've done?" For there is none, but what thou hast done is a miracle. Do you think it's okay to be more inspiring? At the time of the match before you, at the time of the holy city salvation, don't you have any greed? "

Well, in general, I think so.

I'm convinced.

Normally, if you do a merit, you want to be recognized and rewarded in some way. It could be money or identity.

But,

"I just want to live slowly in the village with Alicia." To put it mightily, I just hope that my disciples will be able to save the world safely. "

"It's a heroic party... I don't think the chain of command works well, though I'm trying to fight on the Southern Front on my own." Since war is the ultimate collective war, it is difficult to collaborate if you participate in it informally or alone. What you can win won't win. "

And the king said in dismay,

"Therefore, in anticipation of this, did you set up this meeting (...)?"

The king looks at me with hope.

Damn it. I sigh.

King Granheim well understands the meaning of this meeting.

It is impossible for the present kingdom to defend the unarmed southern front. The main force was attached to the North.

The Brave Party has joined the fight unofficially on its own, but then the army won't function as an organization.

Yea, I was glad when I received the writ from thee. This is going to be a battle. "

In other words, as things stand now with the participation of the Party of Champions, it is impossible for humanity to win, and it will perish.

I'm trying to propose the only hope for victory that will make that impossible. In other words, the king should have come to us in the first place, but I set up a meeting in Count Rand's realm in a neutral position.

This means that I have taken the King's position into account and that I have taken great care not to make his political position worse. The king could not have been unaware of it.

"I am deeply grateful for your consideration, Ariake Mihama, the Great Sage." no..... "

The king deliberately and firmly restated his words.

"Frontier of the Demon Kingdom, Count Ariake."

"This is King Granheim." Although it is a frontier peak that has just been sermonsed, "frontier peak" is a powerful authority in defending itself in these times of war. This is how you form an alliance. Of course, I think the demon king knew about this and appointed me to the Frontier Lord. "

But that demon king didn't make me a peripheral king on the spot.

"A joint front between man and demon." But you know what, Ariake. This was the first time in 400 years that a human and a demon had teamed up. You are about to carry out that feat. Can't you feel the pressure? "

No, not at all.

The king looks surprised at my overbearing answer. [M]

Oh, what a surprise, huh?

Rather,

"This battle has its back..." The mysterious existence that created the army of immortality... Who and for what? I'm more concerned about you that way. "

"Hmm..."

"That's why it's not when people and demons are in conflict." The Southern Front, beyond that. You can't deal with people or demons alone. "

"That's why tension is unexpected on the southern front." "Hmph, I didn't expect you to even think about such a future..." "The only thing I can think of is what's right in front of me..." Alright, this alliance is not just the Southern Front, it's an alliance with a vision for the rest of the world. ”

The king said, nodding deeply and deeply.

“I understand everything. This alliance is a human demon alliance by the great wizard Ariake Mihama."

"Huh? No, I don't have anything to do with it..."

But before I could deny it, the king had just decided to forcefully sign the parchment he had prepared.

There you can see

"The Kingdom of Granheim trusts the Demon Kingdom and Ariake Mihama, and concludes an official" Human-Demon Alliance "!"

It was proclaimed so lofty.

It was a historic moment.

The two countries, which had been at war for 400 years, entered into an alliance to defeat a common enemy, albeit temporarily.

The king asks me to shake his hand.

"Ariake Mihama of the Frontier." Let mankind and demons fight together against an immortal army. Blood and death shed during 400 years of battle will not be washed away immediately. However, from now on, humans and demons, in the name of the great sage Ariake Mihama, will forget their evil roots for a moment, enter into an alliance, and crush the [Injury] and my dead army! "

"Um, I don't want you to repeat my name too many times..."

"What are you talking about now!" If you weren't there, you wouldn't be able to form an alliance with the Demons! You should be more aware of your influence! "

"Um......"

I was angry for some reason.

Anyway, despite the original plan to conclude a human-magic alliance centered on the king, the "human-magic alliance" was formally concluded under the name of Ariake Mihama, who was always overestimated, and it was widely announced throughout the continent, whether in the realm of mankind or the realm of demons.

This is where the official march of the Borderland Ariake Army, recognized by both humans and demons, began.
