Let's Manage The Tower

(2) Battle outside the tower

As preparations were under way for the "War of Repression", focusing on the study aid, Alec was summoned by management to learn more about the Kingdom of Santo Emingo.

Because of Florian's advice that Alec, who was the prince of the kingdom of Flores, would know better than he did.

There is a preparation period of two days after the declaration of war, but there is much to prepare.

Alec, who was summoned by management in this situation, realized that the situation was not the usual relaxed atmosphere.

In that unusual situation, Alec noticed that he didn't just call to meet with himself, and he tightened his eyes and looked at the examiner.

After a bit of a smile, Alec's assistant cut out the story.

"Don't be so hard. I wanted to ask you a few questions, so I asked you to come."

"What do you want to hear?"

Now Floria talks to Alec, who leans his neck.

"I want to ask you about the Kingdom of Santo Emingo. Father."

"The Kingdom of Santo Emingo... does that mean...!?

With Florian's words alone, Alec seemed to have noticed the situation where Amamiya's tower was now located.

The examiner nodded one by one to Alec, who showed him how happy he was.

"Yes, this time, the Salita Tower has started a fight against the Amamiya Tower."

"I see. That country really doesn't punish either."

Alec looked half astonished when he said so.

As far as the Kingdom of Santo Emingo was concerned, Alec knew the situation better than Floria.

There was no doubt that Florian realized that he had fought over the control of the tower and had enlarged the country every time, but there were a few mistakes.

There is no doubt that the kingdom of Santo Emingo dominated many towers in past conflicts.

In the history of the Kingdom of Santo Emingo, he sometimes ruled the five towers at the most.

However, two of the towers are now out of control.

Alec, who was the prince of another country, doesn't know why he lost control because there is no information outside.

It is also said that one thing is certain that it was not lost in the struggle between countries or towers, but that the handover did not succeed.

However, the information is also uncertain, and there are speculations that the Kingdom of Santo Emingo may have leaked it.

After hearing such a story from Alec, he nodded.

"We've never had a struggle between towers lately, but have we done it often in the past?

"There's no doubt about that perception. Of course, you should think that your own way of fighting is being passed on to the present."

I see.

As far as the content of the declaration of war is concerned, it is better to assume that Alec's assumption is correct.

Otherwise, they won't be able to set detailed conditions there.

Incidentally, there were signs that we were looking for details about how the Kingdom of Santo Emingo fought in the message we sent in advance.

I completely ignored the message, so I don't think I know the details of Amamiya's tower side.

However, it was everyone's unanimous view that there would be some speculation.

Alec asked after seeing the examiner nodding convincingly.

"Are you okay?

"Hmm. I'm not sure, really. It's my first fight."

"First time? When?

Alec used to refer to the time of the Gates kingdom commotion.

In response to Alec's question, Kaiseki shook his head to the right and left.

"The conditions for the way we fought were different."

The battle at the Bahem Tower was not a "battle of domination" but a "tactical battle".

In a nutshell, I should have sent Kouhi in and attacked the tower from the first floor in turn.

I explained that the conditions are completely different from this "suppression battle".

"Hmm. I see. Let's keep them under a little control from me."

"Control?"

Without understanding what Alec said, the examiner leaned his neck.

"What, you just warn me a little through my country?"

"... are you okay?

Alec shrugged his shoulders to confirm the exam aid.

"We're going to owe the kingdom some money, but that's not a big deal. Besides, no matter how many towers we fought against each other, it wouldn't be helpful if it ended secretly."

Alec's words are meant to increase other gains by daring to turn them into disputes between nations.

Of course, Alec himself has no idea that the Amamiya Tower will defeat the Salita Tower.

The examiner, whose intentions seemed clear, gave back a bitter smile.

"No, I'm not sure I can win yet? This is my first battle."

Alec silently pressured the examiner to do so.

I will add a word more about the aid I lost to the pressure.

"... well, I'm not going to lose."

To take for granted, Alec nodded with a smile.

Upon returning to the castle, Alec immediately contacted King Maxim of the kingdom of Flores, after obtaining Towa's permission.

The direct means of communication to the Kingdom of Flores, originally owned by Floria, is now taken over by Tova.

When Tois took over the throne from Floria, many of these powers were delegated.

If you succeed, there are some tools that interfere with the operation of the state, so it may be said that it was the first priority.

In the future, those who stood on the throne of Razek Amamiya were likely to take over those magical devices in normal conditions as their top priority.

Remembering that he had taken over the tools from Floria, Tova decided to focus on the conversation between Alec and King Maxim.

That said, the conversation between the two had just begun, and it was only for a moment that Towa was tripping.

If you haven't heard from me in a long time, is that you?

"That's your word, King Maxim. I brought you some interesting information."

Hmm. Let's hear it.

The interaction between the two was refreshing for Towa.

Alec rarely uses this communication device in the first place.

This time, Alec talked in the sense that he heard the story directly from Kaiseki and knew the Kingdom of Santo Emingo well.

King Maxim, who had been briefed by Alec, looked as if he stroked his jaw.

"So? What do you want me to do?

"I don't want you to move the surface in particular. I just want you to have a little conversation and spread the word."

When he heard Alec's words, King Maxim smiled.

King Maxim must have discovered Alec's vision.

This is just a battle between towers, and it has nothing to do with the country.

But the struggle over control of the tower is not entirely irrelevant.

Naturally, the impact extends to other countries.

With that in mind, we can put a little restraint on the Kingdom of Santo Emingo.

It doesn't affect fishermen enough to make profits, but it allows them to make small profits.

Apart from that, the kingdom of Flores can be carried out without having to come to Razekamamiya's side.

It is necessary to maintain a delicate position so as not to take a position in either direction, but that is a necessary skill in running the country.

For King Maxim, who holds the position of King, it has been done many times.

Thus the battle of the tower, which began with the declaration of war, was to be fought not only in the tower, but also outside.
