Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"I'm scared ..."

Alice shakes her voice.

Hold your body with both hands and say while lowering.

"What do you do if you go against ..."

"But would you be beaten without opposition?"

"If you just need to be beaten ..."

I muttered bosoboso.

When training elephants ...

It seems that a small rope is tied to the foot of a small elephant, tied to a thick pile.

The elephant is desperate to escape, but cannot escape with the power of the elephant.

The small elephant then gives up resisting.

Even after becoming an adult, the elephant has given up and will not escape with a small pile and a thin rope.

Alice's situation seems to be similar.

He must have been trained when he was young.

The stake for Alice is Aldo.

But ...

"There is no Aldo right now. He will secure him in the next term and he will be executed. You are free."

Alice stays down.

Huh ...

Is it this far today?

Only four days have passed, and if I continue patiently, I will gradually regain my will ...

I wonder?

I'm not a psychiatrist so I don't know at all.

Julia is a sorcerer, but says she is uncertain about the spirit that does not involve magic.

How many days does it take for Alice to become independent?

"Please go ahead, Merlin."

Merlin sat down on a chair in response to my recommendation.

Only me and Merlin are here.

"Is it okay to hear one?"

"What?"

"Isn't the Alliance against Galia barring individual peace?"

To refrain from escaping, the Alliance for the Galia bans countries from signing individual peace treaties.

If each country moves separately, the meaning of the alliance will be lost.

"Peace is forbidden. But negotiations are not forbidden. The articles should be read carefully."

"... Yeah, so what's the story? I'm not talking about Japan slowly, right?"

There is one mystery.

How does this guy know that I am Japanese?

I realized that Merlin was Japanese because she was speaking Japanese using spellcasting.

But I don't speak Japanese.

Is it also blessing?

"No, it's a peace story .... I know it's not acceptable to the Kingdom of Roselle."

Our national income is about 1,000 Taranto (26,000 kg of silver).

Because the Kingdom of Roselle is a great country with more than ten times the national power of Japan ...

National income will be around 10,000 Taranto (260,000 kg of silver).

A total of 2,500,000 Tarantos were ordered by the Roselle Kingdom to pay under the peace treaty.

One-fourth of national income.

Quarter ... If you can tell if you can or cannot, you can.

But emotions do not allow.

The Roselle kingdom has not been cornered enough to pay such a large sum.

It is cheaper to pay money than to continue the war, but human beings are not necessarily creatures that move with reason.

Sometimes they act with emotion.

It is suspicious that King Roselle will accept me.

"But we both want to stop the war."

"Oh? I can do more in Japan?"

"It's better not to say too much. Is there a rebellion?"

Information finally arrived at me.

Apparently, tribes in the northeastern part of Gallia have rebelled, and Germanis are invading across the river.

In particular, Germanis are around 100,000.

According to the report, Germanis are twitching livestock with their families and forced into the country.

It's like an armed immigrant.

From the Kingdom of the Roselle, it should have been dealt with immediately.

There is no time to let the troops play in these places.

"Oh ... it was your trick. Well, it's good. So what are the conditions?"

"This is it"

I present the condition.

First, approve the territory we have obtained.

Two, paying one hundred Taranto (2,600 kg of silver) to the three kingdoms of Falderm, Gilbed, and Demorgarh, and two hundred Taranto (5,200 kg of silver) to the kingdom of Rosais.

Third, the handover of Prince Aldo to the kingdom of Demorgarh.

Fourth, approve the throne of Prince Carlo Domorgar.

Fifth, release the Adernian prisoners of war.

Sign a truce agreement for six or three years.

* The reason for the large amount of compensation to the king of Rossais is that the territory was not obtained.

"Hmm ... 500 Taranto. Well, I can pay ..."

Merlin has an unrelenting look.

Of course.

He suddenly reduced his compensation to one fifth.

There is a lot of doubt.

"Can you convince the princes of Adernia?"

"What? Are you worried?"

The answer is yes.

The ally of the Anti-Galic Alliance is my kingdom of Rosais, and it is the kingdom of Rosais who is most likely to make a peace alone.

If Japan urges a ceasefire, the other three nations will have to consider it.

In the first place, the country that fought the most in this war was King Rosais.

The kingdom of Domorgar has been blessed with the help of the kingdom of Rossais, and the king's incompetence can't be said strongly.

Gilbed and Falderm are two newcomers jumping in.

There is not much voice.

Rather, we should be pleased to receive the same amount of compensation as the king of Domorgar.

Or rather, I want to say that I'm happy because the territory is back.

I'm just getting a little ceding from the king of Domorgar.

"Well, good. Let's convince."

"That was good. By the way, the matter of the POWs we secured ..."

"I'll give you, except for the soldiers and magicians who are more than a centurion. Miscellaneous soldiers are not worth the ransom. So ransom ...

"Two thousand talents (52,000 kilograms of silver)"

"Hah !?"

The chair rattles.

He has no dissatisfaction.

"It's outrageous!"

"What are you saying, that's the right amount?"

It's a lie. Not at all right.

Basically, you can buy about ten slaves if you have one talent.

Because it is a ransom, some colors are added .... A flat soldier is estimated to be around 1/5 (0.2) Taranto.

Even if the value of a general is a thousand times that of a normal soldier, it is two hundred Taranto.

"I can't talk about it."

"Okay, calm down."

Two thousand generals and five thousand generals. Other centurions.

This is the joint result of the Allies before the pursuit.

After the chase, three additional generals are captured.

There are 16,000 POWs in total.

Now, what kind of shares do you care about?

Ransom is one of the important sources of income in the war.

In fact, the ownership of 16,000 slaves below the Centurion is undecided.

It is scheduled to be discussed with the kingdom of Domorgar in the future.

The share of more than a thousand generals is the rule of the country that caught each.

The result of our war is two 10,000 generals and four thousand generals.

Thanks to the efforts of our soldiers.

What I claim to be 2,000 Taranto is the sum of two 10,000 generals and five thousand generals.

And one of the 10,000 generals was the Royal Roselle.

Maybe the market price is at most 500 Taranto.

In other words, I charge more than four times the market price ...

"This is a make-up to reduce compensation to a quarter."

"... a dirty man"

"I think it's a labor price to persuade Adernia."

Japan wants as much money as possible.

But then, the peace treaty cannot be concluded.

So I thought.

Is there any way to increase reparations in Japan by reducing reparations to other countries?

That's the last thing I thought.

The ransom is outside the peace treaty, so it does not violate the rules.

It is a wonderful operation using the hole in the rules.

Or rather, I prepared a hole for that.

The downside is that if it leaks to another country, the relationship will worsen, but there is no problem because a truce is signed for a while.

Rather, if Japan and the Roselle kingdom form an alliance and pinch and shoot, they will not point out if they think about it.

"Ttsu ... but the ransom is so expensive even if the compensation is reduced to one fifth ..."

"... What do you think if you had a way to save, but you didn't? King Rosell"

When I say so, Merlin's expression is distorted.

You can't escape the execution if you do something wrong.

This is looking at my feet.

That's why it is 2,000 Taranto.

"Well, but you can see that 2,000 Taranto is too high, so let's lose up to 1,000 Taranto."

"Oh, that's ..."

"But there are conditions"

Thousand Taranto, I'll lose.

Of course, it is not free.

"I will ask you to provide all the information on the magicians who are hiding in our country. Then, all the magicians will be arrested. We will not be tortured. I'll get paid, and this secret is confidential, and the exchange is done secretly. "

"..."

......

Merlin closes her eyes.

You are thinking desperately.

Are you accused of accepting the Thousand Taranto or accused of not accepting ...

Should You Show The Magician's Information Or Not?

"Your country has to pay 1,500 Taranto. Perhaps if you pay as compensation, this is the place to be. In addition, there is also a ransom, but the ransom and compensation are bundled. That's why it should be cheaper than expected, each other, what you say here, and thanks to Lydia for washing and vomiting, you have a good grasp of the location of the magician in our country. The presentation of the magician's information is now complete. ''

I think it's a very good deal.

The Kingdom of Roselle is cheaper than expected, and we can get a lot of money.

And the peace treaty ends soon.

It is selfish to kick this condition and continue peace negotiations ...

Probably prolonged.

And the situation in the Roselle kingdom is tense.

It will have to make a big concession.

If the ruler of the Roselle kingdom is Merlin, these conditions must be kicked away.

But the ruler of the Kingdom of Roselle is not Merlin, but King Roselle.

Perhaps King Roselle wants to end the war early.

But he must not pay much.

Paying a lot of money is like advertising Roselle's defeat inside and outside.

The amount of the reimbursement reflects the magnitude of the defeat of the Roselle kingdom.

But for ransom, the size of the defeat does not matter.

Not announced.

The authority of the Kingdom of Roselle is not hurt.

"... I will refuse it."

Merlin looked straight at me and refused clearly.

"It's certainly not bad ... No, I think it's a very good condition. Just think about it now. Considering the risk that the reparations paid by Japan will strengthen your country, it's totally unacceptable."

"Yes ... it's a shame."

I sighed big.

And get up.

"Get out. This is the end of the discussion with you. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were a bit smarter."

"You can say as much as you want."

Merlin stood up grumpy and left.

"Raymond"

"I know. Plan B is ready."

Well, next is my favorite.
