Gandalf the Demon King and Fraxinus the Administrator - they are both among those who lived ancient magical civilizations with alphazles.
Regardless of whether they think of each other as friends, I guess they can't help but care who shared their memories of their youth days.
'Now, as I have just said, I know that an agreement has been reached between the Kingdom of Westland and the Demon King Gandalf, and I am not in a position to give an opinion on its merits'
"Of course, even in this case, the stance of Athlopolis needs to be understood…"
'But you can't even decide to have nothing to do with fighting Evaldi'
Suddenly Fraxinus said something unexpected, so I swallowed up the words I was about to say and moved on to listening to the details.
"Athlopolis is a neutral city. But neutrality does not relinquish strife, it also requires us to confront those who harm ourselves with our own will '.
"... that is,"
'At the last Congress, Athlopolis officially certified Agate Lamb as a hostile force'
Fraxinus' proclamation contained a firm determination.
As administrator of a neutral city, as an exchanger.
And as a guardian who supports the peaceful life of the inhabitants.
I can't help but feel a strong will as someone who has been watching over this city for years.
"Athlopolis is sent by those who were pursued and abused. You cannot see those who used force there and burned the city. Because safety is only secured by the power and trust to eliminate danger. '
"I see... I'm also convinced that the Demon King's Army has avoided hostility"
'Once Gandalf fleeing to the first tier, even when he took the dark elves of this city, would have fought back with all his might if it had been imposed by force...'
"Because it was also well known, he said he avoided only armed confrontation with incitement and flattery. Sounds like it's in your eyes."
Dark Elves are demons who have lived for years, so they may have persuaded their old familiarity with their faces, or they may have forced their shields to do something with the magical contract they once had.
Or perhaps simpler, he induced us to coordinate ourselves with political incitement.
I can only imagine the concrete means on my own, but I can easily think of how the Demon King's Army poked the gaps in the policies of the Fraxinus and the others to take the Athlopolis resident Dark Elves into the force of war.
If they're hunting people because of their brain brutality, we haven't been forced to fight that far either.
"You don't accept the fact that the puppets fled in as refugees when you certified Agate Lamb as your enemy."
"Basically. Sometimes they became human refugees and carried out sabotage operations. However, we plan to provide personal security as prisoners of war. '
Well, it would be a reasonable place.
Though a neutral city that embraces no matter how many human beings and demons separately, if we accept lightly those who used their good intentions to defame such a massive destruction, we can't help but be defamed (defamed) of their inability to learn.
or whatever happens, it can be counterproductive to take no other option than to destroy the escape route of those constituents.
I'm not a specialist in military matters, but I've heard of stones several times, like building a way out when sieging enemies.
If you crush all the escape routes, the opponent will literally continue to fight until he dies, leading to the idea of taking him on the road at all if he dies anyway, and the damage on the side of the siege will be immense.
So they dare to create an escape route and induce the guy who chooses to escape and survive rather than fight and die to continue, it's easier to reject and win, and they also do less harm to themselves.
If you surrender, you won't only take your life - if you don't have this escape route, then the course of battle must also change dramatically.
At least because the self-awareness of the constituents of Agate Lamb is not a lifeless doll or anything, but a lifelike human being who has just replaced the flesh with something else.
"Administrator Fraxinus. Are you aware that certifying Agate Lamb as a hostile force means you can fight with us?"
'No, unfortunately I can't do that'
From Fraxinus' response, not only did he feel sorry for us, but he also felt a sense of remorse for not being able to fight together.
'It is also true that, in the name of a neutral city, no matter how many common enemies we have, we cannot militarily associate ourselves with external forces. But before that, we couldn't afford more power than to defend ourselves.'
"Oh... I see..."
I had to convince myself of this.
Athlopolis is a city born of demons fleeing the ruling class of the third tier… so to speak, as a place to protect refugees.
It seems to be changing little by little over time, but it doesn't look like we have the strength to dispatch to other tiers.
Even when Agate Lamb's infiltrators stripped their fangs in the first place, so much so that Athlopolis' own defensive force did not seem to be able to get around it.
As for the Agate Lamb side, it should have only infiltrated a few elites, but if it was dangerous to have all the power of Athlopolis, it is another dream of dreams, such as getting in here and setting up a fight.
'But we can't just wait to be set up, either. Allow me to provide support in the context of the principle of neutrality. Specifically, improving backward support for adventurers… and informing them'
"It helps. That's too much support."
'Let me begin by showing you the safe route to the coordinates of the groundwater route that you have chosen as a means of entering the third tier'
My mouth breaks unexpectedly on suggestions I don't even wish for.
Although the location of the example entry route has been given some information by the Demon King's Army, no one has actually been there yet.
That's why we were dispatched to look down.
If you can give me that much guidance, it is rather a level of support that I would like to ask for with my head down from here.
'I want you to tell me when you're ready. We will soon have someone who knows the way to the ground'
