Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan

"Hurry up and get ready to accommodate the wounded! Infantry captures remaining Imperial soldiers! Light cavalry is perimeter alert and sentry! Engineers, get ready for camp!

His Royal Highness Leon arrows and gives instructions early and the soldiers move in unison.

Whisper and Bruno, who were on His Highness's side, also instruct their own men.

I... there's nothing I can do...

You can help me with the rescue, but when I go, something gets stronger.

The soldiers who were on the front line in turn would also throw back.

For starters, it should be good to assume that the immediate threat has left.

Nevertheless, the Imperial Army was not wiped out altogether. It's only temporary.

Leiria, a dragon form, came down when I was checking the surroundings.

When they land, they change into human shapes and come here for a small run with Tia.

"Good day, Leiria, Tia. Are you hurt?

From what I've seen, it doesn't seem particularly injurious, but I ask.

"Yes! I'm fine!

"Uh-huh. I can't hurt myself with a boulder."

Tia and Leiria also respond with a laugh.

If you look, Tia is staring at me with her eyes sparkling.

That's it. That's my face when I want compliments.

"Thank you both. The Imperial Army left the right wing to the two of us. Thank you."

I stroke Tia's head as I say so. My ears are breaking slightly behind me to make me feel good.

You're a cat. Pretty though.

"It's not that easy. So, what do we do after this?

"That's a story we've all been talking about since we voted back. Let's get some rest until then."

With that being said, the three of us are moving out of the way.

Then, about three hours later, the captivity of the injured and the return of the soldiers and the disarming and detaining of the captive Imperial Soldiers also came to a paragraph, so that we and the heads of the armies of the three countries, the fangs of the Adventurer's Representative Minotaur (18 Prohibited Cartels), gather in the central tent.

"Thank you all for your hard work. Everyone's work made it possible to defeat the Imperial Army brilliantly. On behalf of the kingdom of Arianus, let me begin by expressing my gratitude."

Yes, His Royal Highness Leon cut the fire.

The faces gathered give back their words, but all smile satisfactorily.

His Royal Highness glances all the way over, then gives General Leggin an eye signal, and the General gives a gentle nod report.

"This is the damage done in this battle, 1253 dead and 895 seriously wounded. The breakdown is 382 and 1988 for the Kingdom. There are 291 and 113 empires. There are 136 and 78 federations of urban states. There are 444 Adventurers and 506 Prostitutes. The breakdown of the soldier species would be good now. Most of the minor injuries are treated with healing magic, so there's no problem."

Again, the ratio of adventurers is extremely high. I can't help it because I fought a battle where I didn't pull a single step against a heavily armed cavalry by birth, but it still makes me feel heavier to have a large number of dead on my side in my proposed operation.

The General's report continues.

"The damage on the Imperial side as far as I can tell next. Twelve thousand heavy mounted cavalry were killed and three thousand were taken prisoner. The lightweight cavalry is 10,000 dead, which is mostly thought to be right-wing units. Infantry has 6,000 dead, 2,000 prisoners, and 15,000 fugitives. Note that almost all the infantry on the run are warriors, and 12,000 of them have surrendered earlier to our army for protection. The rest of the dead are thought to be about 3,000. A total of 28,000 dead, 5,000 prisoners, including the escape, supposedly led to the internal retreat of the Imperial Army of 80,000 about 32,000. I don't know the status of the wounded. I'm guessing about 10,000 of them are stationed in Fristel, but most of them are infantry."

"Oh, my God! You've reached less than half of all armies in just one battle."

The Knight of the Empire, his name is...... forgotten, but he whines unexpectedly but his expression is niggling.

"You can say this is a true complete win. I never thought I'd be able to fix such a big victory."

says General Vistas of the Empire, nodding satisfactorily.

"Thanks to Lord Brave's measures, his work, and the power of Lord Leiria."

People from the Union of Urban States say that, and the people around them are in tune with it, but I don't respond to it.

"Fortunately we won the battle, but neither are we ever unharmed. And the damage to Fristel would be enormous."

"Sure. And now. Fristel is in the hands of the Imperial Army. It's like the city's people being held hostage, unlike fighting on the flat ground. It won't be easy."

You took your heart out of my expression, Bruno and Whisper direct me to talk like that.

I guess you understand what I think for a long time.

Thank you for your honesty.

I'm not happy to be praised in a situation where there are actually more than 2,000 casualties. I don't regret the operation, but I feel the weight of my life is on me and I feel heavy.

I care little about the casualties in the Imperial Army. In the three years I've lived here, I've learned how dangerous my feelings for my enemies are.

Still, I can think about what's to come.

"The battle is certainly not over. but now let's celebrate this victory. Fortunately, Imperial Army supplies have been seized with little control. I have to stand guard for once, but I want to give the soldiers some rest tonight or so."

Everyone nods when His Highness Leon says so.

"The adventurers and the prostitutes in particular have done a good job of accomplishing difficult tasks. Thanks to this, the infantry unit was able to fight without being broken up. I have sacrificed more than any other unit for that matter, but I sincerely thank you. The reward will be for returning to the King's Capital, but we'll have the liquor delivered later."

"Thank God for that. Everyone will be delighted. Well, we're doing whatever we want to put our lives on the line. I'm glad you mourned the sacrifice, but that's what you chose too. Never mind."

Ele responded like she was playing with me looking at me with chills.

... Is it that easy to understand me?

The air relaxes a little.

But I dare you to ignore it.

"Your Highness, I want you to lend me 10,000 cavalry. Oh, of course not until tomorrow."

Follow up at once.

Otherwise, they're going to resent me.

"What is Lord Cashargie going to do?

General Leggin asks.

I don't care, but I want you to stop calling me that. I know it's hard to pronounce a kashiwagi, but it's uncomfortable.

"If you attack Fristel, you will make a sacrifice to the King's people. So I'll take Empire first. There must have been about 30,000 troops in Imperial Capital, but most of them were policing units with no real combat experience. No matter what, the castle will have its finest men, but if you can't deploy a large army, I can go inside and secure the emperor at once. I've been to the castle in Teito before, so I know the structure to some extent. The Empire has mobilized all the troops it can move into this invasion, so you won't be able to increase the protection of the Empire immediately. Only in time and now."

"... it could be effective, too."

Your Highness answered me, not General Leggin.

"Leggin. Can you get it ready?

The general, after a little thought,

"If you remove the heavy horse riding uniform and just the saddle, you'll be able to reach Teito in about five days. Fortunately, there are thousands of horseback riders captured from the Imperial Army, so there's no problem with the numbers. And then what do we do with the food?"

"Then spin a magic soldier who can use 'storage' magic. It's the ability to carry exactly one wagon, but with the addition of everyone, you can carry it in ten days."

Whisper responds accordingly.

"So is it a good idea for the rest of us to siege and restrain Fristel?"

"But then isn't our formation too thin to contend with when the Imperial Army comes out with soldiers again?

One of the heavy towns of the Royal Army questions His Highness Leon's proposal.

Although it did tear, Fristel still has more than 40,000 Imperial troops. 20,000 of that. You'd be anxious to deal with them in the coalition there.

Everyone else shuts up about this allegation.

"Hmm. Then let's stay with me. If the Empire changes to my dragon when he moves to come out of Fristel, he won't be able to come out. I don't care if it comes out."

Unexpectedly, that's what Leiria undertook for me.

He smiles gently and nods when he unexpectedly sees Leiria.

Thank you. I'll give you plenty of parfait when I get home.

It is decided to leave as soon as the atmosphere on the spot at once leans towards a march to the Imperial Capital in order to cut off Leiria's remarks.

For some reason, we even decided to go with Minotaur's fangs (18 Prohibited Cartels). He said it sounded funny, but what are you thinking?

Ready the next day, a total of 12,000 cavalry depart early the next morning.

Aim for the Imperial Capital by bypassing it so that it is not perceived by the Imperial Army stranded in Fristel.

The rest of the army is to begin operations to besiege Fristel as soon as they are in formation.

It also makes sense to prevent them from being pinched from behind when attacking the Imperial City.

And a cavalry unit headed to the Imperial Capital, but to the General, His Highness Leon, the Vice General is General Vistas of the Empire.

Plus Bruno and Whisper and Tia.

No, whatever these guys are,

"Your Highness. I'm the one who said it, but it's dangerous, isn't it?

"Danger, etc. Now. Besides, if we drop the Imperial Castle properly, we'll have a political story next. Not until Yuya intends to destroy the Empire, too. Then make it a treaty, make it a post-war compensation. We need someone who can make a will decision on the spot. Wouldn't it be best if I went?"

Sure you're right, but isn't footwork too light?

"What, I'll leave the command of the soldiers to General Vistas and I'll just follow you. Don't worry, I'm not putting myself in danger."

Ha, shh.

There's Bruno and the others, and, well, we can figure it out.

In the worst case scenario, let's jump forcefully to the kingdom with 'metamagic'.

We rushed ahead, usually traveling in just four days by carriage, over a distance of nearly twenty days. Normally, horses are likely to be wasted, but boulders are military horses for heavy-duty cavalry. Tough.

The cavalry just on board Ningro is so darker in colour of fatigue.

And on the morning of the fifth day from the start of the journey, it finally came as far as the imperial capital could get into view.

The Imperial Capital is the largest city in the Empire and one of the leading cities in this world with a population of 100,000.

Surrounded by double walls around the Imperial Castle and around the castle town, many more houses are built on the outside, but most of them are slums inhabited by displaced persons and others.

Still, the road leading to the gates of the walls is well maintained.

At this distance, this presence will probably be noticed over there.

We'll reconfigure the formation and enter the Empire at once.

We reach the castle gate sideways through the slums, but the biggest gates are usually closed, and the entrance process is carried out at the side gates on both sides of it.

Of course I'm not going to be a no-billy in that place, so I'm going to run the lead and work my magic out and slap the oversized "Fireball" on the doorstep.

Daimon is blown open wide with an awesome burst sound.

I leaned into the capital hoping the general public wasn't involved.

The streets within the capital are not accessible to ordinary people outside the junction because the centre is reserved for nobility. So I can run through without slowing down as much as I can.

I check the perimeter from time to time, but there are no signs of soldiers waiting, and we'll figure it out because everyone is alert to the presence of ambushes and traps. It's magic and bows and arrows from a distance that you have to pay the most attention to, but it seems to be okay at the moment.

Normally, soldiers defending the Imperial Capital are likely to gather soon, but neither is it.

While uncomfortable with the empire's response, he hurries ahead with the intention of eating through whatever happens.

It's just the capital of the empire, and the capital of the empire is big.

The castle is visible to the front but it's still going to take awhile.

Running more than five kilometers from the gate, I finally see the gate of Imperial Castle.

Despite all this noise and entering, only a few guard-like figures were visible in front of the gate, and furthermore the castle gate was wide open.

We slow down and alert the trap.

I summon the Shadow Wolf with summoning magic.

I didn't know it, but can you use subpoena magic while traveling?

It was oddly surreal that the demon squares had also moved as the horses moved.

Let the summoned Shadow Wolf precede you to check for traps. If there was a trap, it would crush it and if not, I ordered the emperor to secure it.

The shadow wolf rushes into the castle gate.

This will avoid unintentional hitting first.

However, the guard beside the gate to amplify distrust looked surprised when the shadow wolf jumped in, but did not attempt to set up a weapon.

We'll take the lead as we slow down for a little while, followed by me, Tia right behind it, Bruno and Whisper on both sides of Tia, and further behind it, the knights to surround His Highness and General Vistas.

Pass through the gate so that everyone can jump off the horse immediately.

And even here, the guards didn't try to set up weapons.

About ten knights were divided and aligned to the left and right in places like Rotary, which would stop the carriage, before the entrance to the castle as they rode through the gates of Imperial Castle, with two men standing in the middle of it.

One dressed in aristocratic outfits, the other facing like its secretary.

At the same time as I saw it, the Shadow Wolf conveyed his will not to see any danger.

I don't see him, but I feel signs that he's probably in the castle diving into the shadows.

I have trouble judging. I turn to His Highness Leon.

His Highness, who received my gaze, nodded softly and disembarked the horse.

And then we get off the horse. Naturally I won't fail to be vigilant, but first I decided to see how they handled it.

I'll take the lead and walk toward the man while protecting His Highness and the general.

When we approached a distance of about ten meters, a man of aristocratic style inquired with a tense and clear voice.

"I take it with Sir Kashargi the Brave and His Royal Highness Leon of the Kingdom of Arianus, is that correct?

"That's right! What about you?"

"Excuse me. I am the third prince of the Belze Empire, Riones Ruchar de Belze."

Surprised.

Sounds like a prince. But I've never met him. All I know is the emperor and that stupid rounded first prince, and the shady looking second prince.

Sure, I've heard of a third prince, but no one knew because of that.

This is not in my hands.

Let's baton touch His Highness.

When I turn to His Highness, I perceive the intention and His Highness comes forward.

"It's the first time I've seen you. Leon Rades Arianus. This way of welcoming us means we know why we're here, don't we? Let me show you to Lord Gulzas."

The third prince replies with a troubled look to His Highness's shooting gaze and tone.

"His Majesty the Emperor was defeated, three days ago."

"What!?

Unexpectedly, my lord and I meet each other in the face.

"So can we say that the next emperor is the first prince, the Crown Prince?

"Normally it will be, but my brother is under suspicion that His Majesty the Emperor moved his soldiers without permission. So if it's true, it's a serious treachery, and you're deprived of your inheritance."

His Royal Highness's expression becomes more rude to the prince's words.

"Hmm? I mean, this sudden invasion of our country was at the hands of the Crown Prince, and the Empire knows nothing about it?

"I don't say so. It is true that this is not the will of His Majesty the Emperor, but it was caused by the Crown Prince of our country, and those who will be the next Emperor will have to take responsibility for it."

"In other words?"

"The second prince, Bardo, has the right to inherit, but he says he will give up his right to inherit only because he is impressed with his research."

"I mean, Lord Listus, you're going to be the next emperor, right?

"Yes."

What a roundabout and frustrating conversation.

I can't get used to these upper-class belly searches. I accidentally want to mix it back properly, but I'll stop it now on the boulder.

I can read the air, I'm supposed to be Japanese. Yeah.

"Then how do we end this war?"

Now His Highness clearly speaks out of 'war'.

Still, the gentle look on the prince's face in front of him doesn't even shake a little.

"Our Empire surrenders to the Allied Coalition of Three Kingdoms: the Kingdom of Arianus and the Empire of Irvenia and the Union of Urban States."

Without changing his expression, Prince Rio Nez told him clearly.

His Royal Highness was also surprised by this boulder.

I was surprised, too. I never thought I'd give in so far all of a sudden.

Though in my earliest thoughts I planned to do everything in my power to press for unconditional surrender.

"... are you serious?

"Of course. Where I fought any more, that's the only conclusion I'll have. There is no way Lord Brave could continue the war even though he returned to the kingdom of Arianus with the Black Dragon in the first place. Where we forced ourselves to continue the war, the country was exhausted and the people lost their way."

I guess it's the right decision. Failed and defeated half while keeping all of the surplus force in the outpost. There are even brave men with an extraneous level of combat in addition to the adversary invasion of the Empire.

There is no doubt that this is a situation in which we have to make a calm judgement and make significant concessions. But even in that case, it is not normally conceivable to suddenly offer to surrender even though it is the stone that first offers a ceasefire or reconciliation.

And the emperor collapsed shortly after the defeat of the outpost. There can be no coincidence at this time. Even if the emperor's death was a fact, is it suicidal coercion or assassination?

Besides, he owes all his sins to the Crown Prince. Moreover, the second place of inheritance renounces inheritance.

Whatever you think, I just think this serene looking prince in front of you is pulling the thread.

I just don't know what the purpose is. What the hell is the aim?

"I would like to discuss the conditions for surrender, etc., but there is no reason to stand talked about on this occasion. I'll have the place ready immediately. May I?

Prince Rio Nez proposes not to break the look of serenity only.

His Royal Highness Leon turns his gaze on me to confirm that word. I cannot confirm the existence of ambushes and traps so far from the emotions transmitted from the shadow wolves that are leading them.

Of course not a single shard can be alarmed, but I guess there's no other option here than to get on with the proposal.

I nod in His Highness's gaze and answer.

"I understand. However, about 20 knights will be escorted as escorts. I won't disarm anyone else, of course, but will you accept that?"

"I don't mind," the prince said without changing any expression to His Highness's exploring gaze and response.

"Then I'll be ready first. I'll give you a guide, so please come when you're done."

That's what the prince says, shows one knight by hand, and he gently meets and returns to the castle.

Then we'll form an immediate accompanying member.

First, General Vistas. You can't take this off.

The general is a friendly country of the kingdom and a general of the empire who took the initiative in this battle to provide reinforcements. It would not be good to leave him out and negotiate with the kingdom alone.

And naturally, me. And ask Tia to accompany us.

Later, Minotaur's fangs (18 Prohibited Cartels) can be accommodated ad hoc and expect breakthroughs considering the existence of the trap. Fifteen other kingdom knights and imperial magicians were to be accompanied.

Bruno and Whisper will lead the remaining knights and in case they can enter the Imperial Castle. These two should be able to handle unforeseen situations to some extent. Worst case scenario, but if you can buy me time to transfer His Highness and the General and then rush, I can figure it out. Maybe.

I whisper to His Royal Highness and the General as I prepare myself for the nomination.

"What are you after? It's too clammy and creepy."

"Absolutely. Even though there are not so many hitters in the empire today, an easy surrender is…"

"I don't know either. but now I just have to see how it goes. Just."

Cut the words where His Highness cares about something.

"? Your Highness Leon, anything?

"No. I did it with that Prince Rio Nez, I've certainly heard of his name, but otherwise I have no information at all. Our country has always been appropriately vigilant against the Empire, even though intelligence is not lacking.

"Same goes for us. I've only heard about his name and appearance. If you're an emperor's son, you can usually pass on more or less."

Both His Royal Highness and the General seemed to feel quite a frigid odor against that prince.

At least if you're normal, you'll have to keep the information you're supposed to convey thoroughly, and you'll have the ability to do it.

His Royal Highness has been thinking for a while but can't seem to draw any conclusions now.

"Yuya, are there no traps or ambushes?

"The shadow wolf is exploring, but there seems to be nothing particularly suspicious about it. Unnatural and unnatural guards seem to be dotted everywhere, but Ning Ro, on the contrary, it seems unnatural enough."

Answer His Highness's question that way.

"Horns on the rabbit, Eugene be wary of traps and unforeseen events. General Vistas, your lord wants me to know if you have any concerns about that prince or those around him. I don't care what you say about the negotiation."

Copy that.

"Understood."

Once confirmed, bring the sorted personnel into the castle according to the guidance.

It's a huge castle, but fortunately, they don't have to take you so far back to a room like a conference room.

Stand by ten knights and magicians in front of the room just in case, and the rest of the members enter the room.

There were only four secretary-like men in the room, a civilian or a magnificent man, and six knights later, who were also with Prince Lioness earlier.

Explore the signs, but there are no ambushes around. Let's just call the Shadow Wolf back and let him lurk in my shadow.

"Now, as soon as possible, I would like to discuss the terms and conditions regarding the surrender of our country's kingdom of Arianas, the Irvenian Empire and the United Cities of Nations against the coalition of three countries and the consequent ceasefire agreement".

The secretary next door to Prince Lioness cuts the fire.

It is naturally His Highness Leon who responds accordingly.

"There are five main demands we make.

One, the immediate withdrawal of the Imperial Army standing and caged in Fristel and the return of all objects looted.

One, compensation and compensation for damages for this invasion.

One, the liberation of all slaves within the Empire and the subsequent prohibition of the sale and possession of slaves and the legal development to ensure their fulfilment and compensation for slaves who have been the victims of the slave hunt and support for their return to their homeland.

one, the presence of the Allied forces in Teito and within the Empire and the burden of expenses for the period until all these matters are completed;

One, guarantees of freedom of movement and security to coalition forces and government officials stationed within the Empire.

That's it. "

The Imperial Civilians make a scene on the terms His Highness has given them.

The secretary-like man also has a harsh look on his eyebrows.

Well, naturally. The first two would also have expected the imperial side, but the liberation of slaves and the presence of coalition forces should not be easy to swallow.

As far as slavery is concerned, it is the servants of slaves who support the productive capacity of the empire. It has supported the expansionism of the empire by turning the cost of what has been contained by this to military expenses, and ordinary chambers of commerce and individuals also own slaves. It won't be easy for the country to tell you to let go.

It should be unnecessarily unacceptable for what may be regarded as a substantial occupation with regard to the military presence.

"When it comes to slavery, doesn't that mean people from three countries are lacking? And there must be criminal slaves and debt slaves."

Prince Rio Nez confirms it without changing his expression.

"We know that the Empire has officially denied but has virtually promoted slave hunting, and we are unwilling to listen to what the Empire has to say about that. It should be treated in the same line as the slave hunting victims who have been abducted, beyond the fact that even for crimes and debts we cannot confirm that fair procedures are in place. Besides, if you confine yourself to people in three countries, you can mislead as many people as you want."

Show that His Royal Highness has no room for a strong and outrageous compromise.

"Do you have to? But it is impossible for a boulder to immediately free all slaves. Many slaves are in service in agriculture and mines, and if they fall out at once, there will be chaos and riots in the country. That could also harm the freed slaves in the corners. In the case of slaves owned by individuals, small chambers of commerce, etc., the agreement enters into force immediately. Otherwise, I would like it to be a gradual liberation, depending on the type and scale of business. Implement measures that will prevent slaves from being harmed or the environment from deteriorating in the meantime. Within a maximum of three years. Besides, if we can confirm that you are the victim of a slave hunt, we will release you as a matter of the highest priority."

"Within two years."

"... ok"

"It is the last freedom of movement to coalition forces and government officials, but we have no intention of constraining our actions, but we cannot allow freedom of movement in an unprincipled manner. I have trouble getting into Emperor Castle, personal mansions, etc., without permission. We would like to determine in advance the extent to which we are free to act and discuss it in advance if it is deemed necessary elsewhere."

His Royal Highness confirmed this with his gaze to General Vistas and replied "I understand" that the General nodded.

From then on, the fine conditions were folded, and a great deal of agreement was reached in about an hour. After Fristel's liberation, the coalition forces currently besieging Fristel were to escort and surrender them to the Imperial capital, even with regard to the prisoners this side secured in the war. However, details regarding compensation for damage and the amount of compensation have not been clarified, so they will be adjusted by the administrative method in the future, and the agreement also specified that.

And the Imperial side was signed by Prince Lioness as the emperor's deputy, and the Allied side was signed on behalf of His Highness Leon.

An agreement was reached with Assari, which was truly unexpected.

The prince remains calm all the time. The Imperial Civilians did not pinch any objections, although they also had somewhat difficult expressions.

It's too good to come here and you have no idea what they're trying to do.

I don't feel any particular malice towards this one, and there are no disturbing signs in the castle.

I have no idea why.

Whatever the agreement was signed, the agreement was exchanged.

It shouldn't be easy to overturn this in a boulder empire.

We leave the discussion room and join the knights waiting outside the castle, feeling something creepy about their aim.

"The other party's intentions remain invisible, but we were able to exchange the agreement first. That's in our favor, too. So I'm going to join the remaining troops deployed around Fristel and come back to the Empire with you."

His Royal Highness says so and asks General Vistas to command the troops that will remain in the imperial capital.

And after I took His Highness to the troops of Fristel, I returned with two knights to the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Arianas to report this incident to His Majesty the King.

By the way, I had nothing to do with it, although it was good to follow me this time. I was foolish that the Minotaur fangs couldn't get busted, so when this thing settled down a little, I was going to have plenty of mock fights with me in Wang Capital. He seemed happy because he hesitated frequently but eventually wept, most importantly. I feel very indigested this time, too.

Okay, one more breath to finish, should be.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

After the Jews and representatives of the coalition forces of the three countries withdrew from the room that served as a venue for negotiations, the remaining imperial civilians on the spot sighed heavily.

"Your Highness, were you sure about that?"

He was the most sinister of the civilians to watch the negotiations.

There's no point in a man leaking that way either. Because what could only be read from what was agreed was what seemed to be the empire's declaration of total defeat.

"I don't mind. There was a part of it that was somewhat more than I expected, but that was also within my expectations. If you think about what you're about to do, you can call it the best. It's basically a dream of the fool itself that only satisfies vanity, such as continental unity."

Rio Ness laughs satisfactorily when she says so.

The look was as if he was a winner.

No, from his point of view, the current situation is in good shape to say the best.

His previous position was the Third Prince of the Empire. I have two brothers upstairs and three sisters.

And in the imperial chamber the position was always precarious and dangerous.

The Empire is authoritarian politics but also powerful in nobility. It's a common thing in the country that said that, but its history is also the history of the blood that fought over the seat of succession.

If the inheritance rights are low, you won't have to leave me alone, but Rio Nez is third in inheritance rights. Naturally, both my brothers and the great nobles around me watched as they cautioned their every step of the way.

Having had insight and depth of thought from an early age, Rioness kept herself thoroughly secret.

He played a mediocre, hegemonic prince with no characteristics, and also avoided contact from the great nobility. It succeeds in creating a state where not only the people, but even the lower nobles, know that there is a third prince without a face to the social world, but they know neither his name nor his appearance.

Thanks to this, I was able to grow up without even the emperor, my father, having any interest in him and feeling in danger. On the contrary, the second prince was exposed many times to the crisis of assassination, and became immersed in magical research so as to escape from any citation power that subdued his spirit.

Rioness, on the other hand, gathered talent in secrecy and built up his power around lower nobles and civilians. Take time not to be distracted by your brothers and nobles, be careful, be careful.

Especially those capable of using metastatic magic were used to gather information and manipulate information closely.

It was this march to the kingdom that happened in that way.

Rioness herself anticipated the triumph of the Empire in that plan, which had been in preparation for a long time before the battle against the armies of the evil gods. But an arrowhead who was preparing to occupy Fristel and march further to the Wang Capital, an intelligence agent who was infiltrating the kingdom of Arianus under Rio Nez, came in to report that the brave man and the Black Dragon had returned to the Wang Capital.

Of course, the Empire was also sufficiently vigilant against the brave to allow a small number of troops to infiltrate the royal castle, which was in the aftermath of the war, and to destroy the demonic formations that summoned the brave. Therefore, even the Virgin could not summon the brave again.

But he was not summoned, and yet again the brave returned to the kingdom, accompanied by a black dragon beside him.

Having received this report, Rioness immediately anticipated the defeat of this outing.

I have no direct knowledge of brave men. I just peered at the Emperor's Castle once from a place away when the brave man visited.

But the strength of the will felt at that time, the intimidation as a built up strong man, was intensely impressive, in fact, even the emperor said he was convinced of fear and the defeat of the evil gods.

Surely that brave man didn't seem to be able to exert overwhelming force in a mass battle. But when a brave man planned an operation and fought only at the beginning of it, it was always enough to ravage the opponent and to claim that the damage to his allies was almost non-existent.

That brave man joins the Black Dragon, the top dragon.

There's no point in winning with less than 100,000 troops.

So Rioness decided to make the most of this opportunity.

The main aristocrats had gathered in the Wang capital during this period. for the coordination of rights after the Kingdom of Arianas was occupied by the Imperial Army in this battle. No one expected the defeat of the Empire at this point, except for Rio Nez.

Rioness prepares herself in secret and in a hurry, and as the Imperial Army defeats and flees back to Fristel, the undercover intelligence officer informs her of the consequences with metamagic.

First the emperor will be sequestered after he has been drugged and comatose, and the main warring nobles, who were gathered in the House of Lords just to celebrate and celebrate, will be captured in one place as' defeated by reckless marching '. Furthermore, the Grand Chamber of Commerce, which has supported the private residence and related destinations of the noblemen and their nobles, who were held captive by order of the Defenders of the King's Capital, will be closed and the servants will be placed under house arrest. The metamagic user was captured or murdered so that no information could be leaked.

Rioness herself had only about 5,000 troops, but the knights, guards and guards in the king's capital have all the command of the emperor. As its deputy emperor, the third prince gives orders in lieu of the prince who is absent in battle or the second prince in a drawer cage. They never questioned it.

The coup d 'état was a rather forceful means, but no one could confront it in a situation where noble principals and heavy towns who would resist were instantly captured, and only five days after the news of the defeat had come to their grasp the capital.

The territory of each nobleman has not yet been reached, but fortunately the leading nobleman has put most of his own private soldiers into this outing, and control is only a matter of time.

The problem is the soldiers returning from Fristel, but there is also an agreement with the coalition that 'the troops withdrawing from Fristel will abandon all weapons and protective equipment except the dagger', and the coalition will be responsible for confirming that.

This is how things can be called best for Rio Nez, including the agreement.

Later, I hold the first prince and the main warrior nobles responsible for the defeat, and I become emperor and steer the future nation to rebuild the country.

The burdens associated with post-war reparations and the liberation of slaves will not be light, but there is ample leeway if we collect the private property of the great nobles and the Chamber of Commerce, which was healing and fattening their private bellies with them.

I don't have anything to think about killing my father, the Emperor, on the boulder, but I've already broken it off. Though I would have had less contact and less emotion than I had before.

I do not intend to do anything other than spy on my second brother, the second prince, and I intend to provide appropriate support if I also need the magic research that he is immersed in.

"But although the liberation of slaves is considered to be more confusing,"

The secretary's man expresses concern.

"There's no problem with that either, because there's a two-year respite, and there's no way to make wealth out of slavery in the first place."

Rio Ness denied it, too.

In Rioness's view, slavery is far more difficult than advantages.

The empire distributes and produces large quantities of slaves to mines and farms, mainly the great nobles, but their labour productivity is never high. Naturally. They are forcibly brought in, and there is no way they are forced to work harshly in poor diets and unhygienic living environments without wages to increase productivity, etc.

Even more problematic was that the wealth created there could not circulate, except in part, and that those who served only accumulated excessive wealth.

The point is that the servants of slaves take civilian jobs, generate large numbers of displaced persons and poor people, and they have to provide unnecessary security to cope with the deterioration of security, and as a country it only costs extra money.

As a result, the power of some nobles and the Grand Chamber of Commerce, as well as the backing society that makes slave hunting and trafficking its business, becomes stronger and undermines the stability of the country.

In that case, if we take this opportunity to free slaves and instead give jobs to the poor, the people who have earned wages will consume a variety of things, and that will create new industries. Temporarily, even with the taking of money, tax revenues can be increased if the economy is revitalized and the poor are reduced, and, above all, expenses to cope can be curtailed if the crime of poverty is reduced and security is improved.

In addition, this slave liberation can take the form of what the Allied forces asked for and the Empire responded accordingly.

It's something I don't really wish for.

It is true that the Allied garrison exceeded its original plan, but on the contrary, it can be said that it is an easy situation to make it a great name for pursuing and cutting off the responsibility of the great noblemen and former emperors and princes who have known the defeat within the Empire and steered the Empire.

And while Rio Nez becomes the new emperor and makes a compromise with the Union, he revitalizes the economy and restores security.

The people will cite and support.

"Well, I'm going to be even busier. I'll burden you all, but I need your help."

Rio Nez looks around at the civilians and says with determination.

Taking it, the men nodded strongly too. They also agreed with this young prince and took risks, but they have been preparing to do everything in their power for many years.
