Next Life

Karius VI of the Berganda Empire had listed candidates for adoptive daughters in his brain.

It is important, of course, to know Marius' preferences, but we must not lag behind other countries.

It's true that I'm better friends with Lanreo than Filato, but it doesn't mean I'm badly friends with Filato.

So I don't think this offer will be offended either.

There are times when Bernhardt III, the current king of Filato, is a monarch who should be somewhat moderate and home affairs fulfilling, and not belligerent.

I shouldn't have mind for more friendly countries.

(If you're going to fight Holdia, you should have more allies.)

You won't need to be so afraid to speak of the Holdians as much as you are of Marius, but war between nations is not simply the end if you defeat your enemies.

No matter how overwhelmingly strong Marius says he is, it's another matter of earning war money, procuring weapons and food, and skillfully handling the post-war process.

"And yet why did the demon go after Marius?

Are you planning something else?

Berganda is by no means a powerful country.

There couldn't have been any power to fight the demons.

Such Berganda is not attacked even though it is adjacent to Serraeno because Serraeno is also adjacent to a great power called Lanreo.

No matter how strong the Seraeno army is, its military strength is finite, and its war costs are finite.

That is why Berganda has maintained friendship with Lanreo in its diplomatic efforts.

To avoid the development that Serraeno and Lanreo are going after themselves together.

Carius VI doesn't have a daughter, but he had a niece.

All three nieces were married to the leading aristocrats of Lanreo.

(If I knew this was going to happen, I'd leave about one...)

I couldn't help but regret it, even though I knew it was a penchant.

I don't have the power to fight demons, but if I can work with Serraeno, Lanreo, my chances are greater.

And Marius has the power to defeat the Demon Man by himself.

Yes, but I want to get along better.

What color is the hair and which is preferred is the personality of an active daughter or a sober and dear daughter?

Should I be able to cook and sew, or preferably brighter for magic, etc?

(Thinking alone doesn't reveal Lathi)

When I returned home, I decided to gather the heavy ministers to discuss it.

President of the Republic of Mithra, Frederick did not return home immediately.

There was a king's signature and seal saying that there was something to discuss in the letter that the Balshark envoy had brought.

Otherwise I just ignored it.

Because when I left, I needed to tell my daughter about my friendship with Marius.

Jessica, Queen of Balshark, had already come with the escort when she went with the two escorts to the place designated for the rendezvous.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

When Frederick apologized, Jessica laughed at Eagle Deep and accepted.

"I wasn't waiting much longer. And the other one hasn't."

The doubts that Frederick had raised were quickly resolved.

Again, because King Johnson of Vester appeared with his escort.

"I guess I made you wait"

"No."

Jessica cut her tongue when she briefly exchanged greetings.

"Thank you for your efforts. What I'd like to suggest is the future."

"Are you a demon in the future? Or is it Holdia?

Frederick asks back quickly.

I would not have thought of anything else if we were to discuss it in these three countries.

"It's about Holdia. You can't just throw away a code invasion like this."

Frederick and Johnson frowned at Jessica's remarks.

After all, it is not a good word to accept as it is denominated.

Regardless of the substance, Holdia Uemura has made a full atonement.

If it's Filato, it's not a good idea for another country to squeeze out.

"I'm pretty sure I can't sleep slowly next door to the Mad King's country"

Frederick nodded, too, when Johnson said so.

I totally agreed on that point.

It's publicly blamed on the nobles, and there's a lot of sympathy for Asteria, but the truth is different.

I can't trust a man who ignores implicit understandings between nations in good faith, and I can't be relieved that such a man is the king of a great power called Holdia.

"So why don't we put our hands together? Honestly, Holdia is too mighty to challenge in one country."

Jessica had a good point.

Holdia is the continent's leading power in terms of land and population and maximum mobilization of troops.

I can't say I'm completely recovered from the "accident" mess the other day, but the Regular Army remains intact.

It was visible that Mithra, Vester and Balshark would be crushed by a twist where they tried alone.

"Is Holdia sure the Regular Army was 200,000 and the Slave Soldier 800,000? It's better than the total strength of our three countries."

"You should be able to collect a few more times if you include just a slave. Of course, there's a problem with food, so it's actually going to be less."

Numbers of violence can never be ignored.

If every soldier is as strong as Serraeno, maybe he can cover it up to some extent.

"Shouldn't we invite Fillato, too? Without Marius, the Philats are strong enough."

It was Frederick who suggested so.

Although Fort Valdera was dropped the other day, everything has been successfully repelled until then.

No matter how much Fort Valdera said the defensive side was advantageous at the point, the fact that it had bounced back Holdia's regular army offense over and over again should have been worth a thought.

"There are several reasons not to invite Fillato"

Here's what Jessica said.

Whatever the truth, the settlement between Philato and Holdia is once and for all, and King Philato is not belligerent.

Even though I said it hit Holdia hard, it's true that Fillato lost his elite as well.

Then we are likely to turn our attention to the country and try to restore national power, and it is hard to imagine that inviting troops to come forward would respond.

It's hard to even ask you to lend Marius alone, for example.

"And it's about Marius."

Everyone who wants to get along with Marius should be the same, but for that, Philato and I need to get along better.

To do so, we should first put a blow in ourselves.

That would make Philato's heart better, he said.

I thought Frederick and Johnson had a point and decided to think positively.

Fillato is also a superior power to any of the three countries alone.

We definitely don't want to turn it around on our enemies because that's where the most powerful marius of humanity has joined us.

(I doubt if we can get along with the kind of people the devil would target.)

Johnson thought so, but didn't put it in his mouth.

Marius has the power to defeat the Demon Man by himself, so maybe even stronger than he imagined.

If that possibility is taken into account, we should be cautious about bad attitudes.

The king of one kingdom shall not show gaps to others.

Johnson firmly believed so.

"What about the distribution blockade, etc?

So I would also suggest that you think you are willing to ride the Holdia siege net.

"Holdia has a low ability to produce food for the population. If you seal him off for a year, you can expect him to dry up."

"Holdia's been standing still for a year?

"And it's a mystery what Marius might think. I hear you're a good person to help all disposable slave soldiers. Whatever the Queen is, doesn't she look good to the measures that afflict the people?

However, it was rejected lightly.

It does make no sense to piss Marius off, even though the purpose is to sell him the charm.

That's why I wanted Mithra and Balshark to do it, but Johnson withdrew the foreword without even giving it a bite.

"That's a good idea. Let's give up this plan."

As a result of the discussions, we only collaborated in military operations.

It is not until a month after today that the military is banned from engaging due to tacit understandings.

If we do not observe this, we will be recognized in the same line as Holdia, and now we will be condemned by all nations.

On the contrary, if we defend this, there will be no problem.

The details were promised to be packed upon return, and the kings of the three kingdoms parted.

(That went well)

Jessica was satisfied that it ended well.

I want to get along with Marius and Filato, and I can't leave Holdia, who wears Asteria as king, for real, but not all.

If we win, we can get Holdian slaves for cheap.

One of the treaties between states is the item of prohibition of selling soldiers taken prisoner as slaves.

Exceptions are made if you are a national or slave soldier who has perished.

With Balshark's military power, it is almost impossible to destroy Holdia where he has joined forces with Mithra, Vester.

It's also hard to say and target slave soldiers alive.

So what are we going to do? We're going to loot the city and expose the public.

You get the hardware, it's the gateway to the desires of the soldiers, and if you enslave it and sell it in bulk, the country moisturizes.

Marius would have frowned with discomfort and strangeness, but war and plunder were fine industries.

If, of course, he won and attacked the town, Balshark, whose main income is the whorehouse, needed to purchase slaves on a regular basis.

The authenticity of the other two countries would be similar if they just didn't put it in their mouths.

Because slavery survives even in Mithra, a long time since the reign was abolished.

(Holdia attack jointly by the three countries, or)

From Frederick's point of view, I think if we hit it in the three countries, we have a winning chance.

Holdia is at a time when sudden revelations of reform are beginning to emerge, and not as good as the other powers, in terms of the strength of the soldiers.

Only the quantity is predominant, and this one should be able to counteract it if you increase the number of heads.

Frederick has lost track of the Demon Man.

Depending on how much Queen Asteria has control of the country, Johnson was reading that the people should not be deceiving up to the upper ranks of the army anyway.

The most important thing to be aware of is the disposable operation of the slave soldiers, which I did during the attack on Fort Valdera.

The more national power the better, the less it can be used, but the "more" it becomes a threat to us.

There is so much difference with Holdia.

There is absolutely no guarantee that the Union of Three Nations can win.

Leaving dangerous bridges open to other countries, Johnson thought his country would encourage him to strengthen his relationship with Fillato.
