Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

I was greeted by Rosward, who had arrived at our checkpoint.

Apparently everyone is safe.

The members of the Ains are also visible.

"Return Rosward. Sorry .. By the way, was there nothing?"

I asked Rosward who came back with satisfaction.

As a matter of fact, I had assembled about 2,000 troops and stuck to the border.

At the same time as putting pressure on city nations, let the cavalry run and go to help at any time.

Well, in consideration of diplomatic relations, I kept moving until Rosward's request for help.

I thought I'd definitely come from Lezard, and that some city states would fall.

But Rosward returned safely.

I'm not that happy.

Rather, it is a pleasure.

But mysterious.

"There was nothing. All the city-states were welcome. At first I was prepared for the field, but there was almost no need for it ..."

Rosward turned around and looked back.

As I turned my eyes, the guards of each city-state saluted me.

Behind it were a number of carriages, loaded with sake, wheat and live pigs.

Rosward and his colleagues came home with souvenirs.

"First of all, let's celebrate our safety and have a spree. I want soldiers from each city state to participate."

The spree was a big climax.

The lawmakers, who came to the kingdom of Rossais safely, were nervous and drank and ate a lot of alcohol.

Rosward, Soyeon and Alice were welcomed as heroes.

The guards of each city-state are obsessed with spirits.

Distilled spirits are very expensive.

I can't usually drink.

He heard that he could drink as much as he wanted, and was desperately stuffing his belly.

I'll have a souvenir later.

"Ains, are you having fun?"

"Yes, thank you. In addition to helping us, even this kind of spree ..."

"Okay, when we're in trouble, we're still at each other. Drink."

I poured sake into Ains's cup.

Ains took it reverently and poured it into her throat. Good drinking.

"Now, it's bad, but ... let me know about the situation in Lezard, even if Lezard didn't come after him."

Ains tightened her expression, which had been loosened with sake.

"We're imprisoned and we don't know exactly, but we can imagine what's going on. Perhaps the anti-Rosaicists have fallen into doubt."

Suspicious demon?

"Yes. Until now, there was no coup d'etat by armed force in Lezard, but it has happened this time. Isn't it my next time? ... And the merchants of Lezard don't know Alice's abilities, considering how they got inside Lezard and escaped ... It's easier to understand if you think you are there. ''

I see.

The more mercenaries you put in your pursuit, the less your security will be.

Is he more involved in detecting non-existent traitors inside than pursuing?

"And it's also possible that the security of Lezard itself has deteriorated, because our pro-Rosaisses were one of the great merchants in Lezard. Even in a war situation where trade was not good, and in addition a fire turmoil… ”

It looks like Lezad's politics is more confused than expected.

Well, Lezard didn't show his followers ... no, I understand why he didn't.

Why were the other city-states so supportive?

"Do you want to be your friend or a friend who is fighting with your close family? Lezad has lost much of his reputation in this case. It's no wonder that the city-states that had been making decisions have decided. ''

It's a fragile thing.

Alliances and friendships.

Until a long time ago, the southern Christian cities that would have been sneering at the countryside without looking at our country ...

Nowadays, they look at the core of Lezad, and sell it to Japan.

This means two things.

The first is that it is not difficult to merge southern cities.

Secondly, if the momentum of Japan begins to show its limits, cities will easily change their saddles.

It's difficult.

It is not enough just to suppress with military power.

That's why they'll simply give us up, even if we keep giving them.

It is easy to say that candy and whip are compatible ...

Difficult to adjust.

What should I make into candy and what to whip in the first place ...

"Well, as long as you are in this country, your security is guaranteed.

"Thank you ... Your Majesty"

Ains bowed down at me.

Meanwhile, Lezad's parliament was confused at that time.

The delay in the measures led to a major blunder that allowed pro-Rosais to escape.

In addition, city-states have begun to dominate King Rossais at once.

The crisis is about the collapse of Lezard and other southern city alliances.

Before addressing this issue, he was discussing his whereabouts.

"In the first place, the problem is that the chairman narrowed the gate."

"Then we wish Lezad would be a burning field? I had enough troops in the first place. It was because there were collaborators inside!"

Of course, there are no collaborators inside.

But it's more persuasive than the fact that a beast named Alice invaded the wall easily in the dark ...

But those who do not exist do not exist.

"Sure, you heard that you had a distant relative with the pro-Rosais Ains?"

"What do you want to say ... then ask, but is there anyone who has never had any friendship with the pro-Rosaician? I don't know? Such a question is meaningless."

Pushing responsibility.

Looking for a criminal who is not there.

Measures that do not start.

Lezad's parliament was like a sample of a corrupt oligarchy.

In the first place, the number of votes that can be voted on depends on the tax payment amount.

It is the end of a country that has become fully religious.

“Yeah!

One member of the Diet shouts.

Members of the Diet all turned down.

Everyone understands that this imposition of responsibility is useless.

However……

"There is a traitor in this. What are you going to talk about without resolving it? Are you eavesdropping on King Almus?"

"That's right. Finding a traitor is the first decision!"

"But who is ..."

The endless story begins again.

It was two days later that Lezard took action.

Just one week after the fire broke out.

"I feel like Pofenia is still better.

Alexios sighed.

Alexios was able to squeeze the assailant's escape route in two.

However, he could not follow.

Congress did not get permission.

In order to search outside of Lezard, it is necessary to cross each country's checkpoint.

Of course, they can't easily pass the army and they can't leave the country without permission.

The cooperation of the Lezad Parliament was essential.

Alexius, of course, asked Congress but did not give permission.

"Maybe I'm suspicious. I've fought with King Almus. I was actually invited."

"And you've betrayed your homeland once."

Melia shrugged.

No doubted humans will be in Lezard.

I can no longer say that I can not give permission.

"However, would you usually issue one or two diplomatic texts? Stop the checkpoints, catch criminals who set our country on fire ... It's too cruel that you can't even do that."

"Now, if you take your seat off, you could be lifted ..."

If you are going to be a diplomatic messenger, you must be at least a member of the Diet.

That is courtesy.

But no one can leave Congress right now.

"But was Lezard so terrible? It seemed a little better when we fled ..."

"Because the merchants had taken the leadership, and at that time King Rosaith wasn't as powerful as that ... everything went wrong when he imprisoned the merchants who were at the heart of Lezard's political operations. became"

Now that the great merchant who has been at the center of political administration has left, no one can manage Lezard.

I mean ...

"I will lose to the kingdom of Rosais in this state ..."

"What to do? Alexius"

There is a nuance in the words, "Do you want to leave again?"

"I don't know what to do. I don't have too much control to go to exile too many times ... but I can't afford to make you a widow .... First of all, let's be calm right now. Be prepared to escape. ''

The most important thing for Alexios is his family.

Of course, there is a benefit to Lezard.

However, there is no reason to put your own life and the life of your family.

"Where do you want to go next? The king of Rosais? Or Nemes or Gehenna ... maybe the Roselle kingdom ..."

They began seriously considering asylum.

Pofenians are less reluctant to cling to ships that are known to sink.
