Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 176: The Melancholy of the Emperor

"It was a disaster, Kepka"

"... I'm sorry, Mr. Ceal."

Kepka bows down to his brother ... the Barka landlord, Ceal Barka.

Meanwhile, Ceal shook his head.

"It can't be helped. Winning or losing is always the luck of a soldier .... I can't forgive it."

Alexios.

Ceal clenched her fist.

"At that time, I should have been strangled. It's my fault."

Children with odd irises have misfortune in their homes and countries.

To avoid it, they must be strangled shortly after birth.

It is a pofenian tradition transmitted from ancient times.

It got inside the enemy.

"I heard that he became a noble in a barbaric country. What is Cornelius. Barca's filth."

A blue line appears on Ceal's face.

The fire of anger was burning in his eyes.

"Now the power of Azul Hanno is dominant. This is inevitable. We have failed ... but we will regain it soon, at which time we will recruit troops to the Adernia peninsula ..... Always kill Alexius This is the relationship between him and the Barkas. Unless this is settled, we are not safe! "

"By this time, Seal will be mad."

"Haha, you can see the barking of that brain muscle in your eyes. Mr. Azure."

Azul Hanno carries a distillery from King Almus as a souvenir.

I have never drunk so strong and fragrant sake.

"Not only this spirit but also the product of paper is wonderful. And it has a better road than our country.

While Azul was in high pressure with the kings of Rosais and the nations of Greece, he did not intimidate himself with the kingdom of Rosais.

I'm rather appreciative.

Almus's ability to evolve a small country into one of the largest powers in the Adernia in a few years was appreciated.

"I'm a neighbor across the sea. I want to build friendly relations rather than hostile relations .... Until now, there were Adernian pirates in the Tethys Sea. But if that king unified that peninsula, , The pirates will be gone.

King Rossais' nation does not have a decent navy.

So Pofenia is not at risk of being invaded.

If Pofenia doesn't even reach the Adernia Peninsula, there will be no war.

"Our country is more than affluent as it is now. We should now switch to protecting rather than gaining interests.While there is undeveloped fertile land in the country, why should we spend military expenditures? I don't know if we need to go on an expedition, and Barca is a fool who doesn't know. "

Azul sighed.

The Greek Peninsula, formerly Clarisse.

It has a good natural port called Kazuno Bay and is an intersection connecting the Ash Sea and the Tethys Sea, the Occident in the west and the Orient in the east.

Luxurious, magnificent palaces were steadily being built at this geopolitical point.

A short distance from the palace under construction, there was a large mansion.

Although it is much smaller than the palace, it is still huge ... more than five times the size of the palace of King Rosais's country, and the decorations are carved with gold, silver and marble.

The balcony of the mansion ... The Emperor of the World was in a place where we could overlook the beautiful sea of Greece.

"Yeah! I don't like it! That sea monkey together!"

Xerxes III, the Emperor of Persis, knocked his fist on the table.

The table shakes and the figs on the plate fall to the ground.

Xerxes stepped on it.

An alliance formed between the Persis Empire and Pofenia.

Instead of Pofinia gaining the interests of the Christians, the Pofenian Navy beats the Christian Navy.

The alliance was successful and the Greek Peninsula fell into the hands of the Persian Empire.

However……

"Pofenia has become a little too strong ... it was a mistake."

Until now, the power of the Christians was so strong that the Persian Empire was disadvantaged at sea.

So I thought I would hit the Pofenians against the Christians and cut down on their power.

However, the power of the Pofenians was stronger than expected by Xerxes, and it began to be uncontrollable.

"... Are there any monkeys that can fight against sea monkeys somewhere? The Roselle Kingdom is a forest monkey, the Germanians are stupid monkeys ... there is no decent monkey."

Xerxes sighs.

There is no longer any opposition to Pofenia in the Tethyan Sea.

"Partly, should we have survived the Greeks ... no, it's not a good defense. We should have destroyed the Greeks, but Pofenia has to ..."

A man shouted from behind the door as Xerxes was worried.

"Her Majesty, I'm sorry for the break, I want to hear you."

"Is it in a hurry?"

"No ... but your Majesty's worries may be resolved."

"Get in"

When Xerxes granted permission, the vassals went to Xerxes.

Thrust your knees, get the courtesy of the ministry, and raise your face.

"It seems that the Pofenian army invaded the Adernia Peninsula and lost it."

"Huh ... how big is it?"

"The Pofenian Army is 20,000, the power on the Adernia Peninsula is 40,000."

Xerxes opened his eyes.

40,000 is a medium army.

There is no country that can organize such a large army.

At least in the knowledge of Xerxes, there is no political power capable of rallying that much.

"What kind of power?"

"The kingdom of Rosais is a monarchy of the Adernia and its allies. The king is a twenty-something youth named Almus."

"cheek……"

Xerxes embarked forward with interest.

"Of course, have you checked the history of Almus and the king of Rosais?"

When Xerxes asked, the vassals smiled wide.

"Yes, I've looked into the situation on the Adernia in the last few decades.

"Tell me"

The vassals tell Xerxes about the situation on the Adernia Peninsula.

Small and large countries exist on the Adernia Peninsula and continue to struggle.

Gauls in the north, Christians in the south, and Pofenians in the south are watching for their territory.

Until a few years ago, the kingdom of Rossais was a small country that could fly if it blew.

That was the rapid rise of national power since the reign of King Almus.

A few years ago, he defeated the Kingdom of Roselle in a field battle and formed an alliance against the Galia with countries of the Adernia Peninsula, raising his position on the Adernia Peninsula.

A few weeks ago, he defeated the Pofenian army and, at the direction of the Christians, allied with the Christians, gaining military leadership in the southern southern Adernia.

A man named Bartolo Pompeius, a vassal, is a great general.

Almus is not of a royal family, but of a commoner.

There is a rumor that the beast named Griffon is the parent of the breeder and the son of Mares, the army god.

Having two wives, two sons and a daughter.

They are not luxurious, living in a modest way, just going to a hot spring.

And the instructions from the commoners are strong and feared by the nobility and nobility.

Those who live in conquered territories are tolerantly governed, while those who rebel are punished mercilessly.

Even if you are of a different ethnic group, such as a Christian or a Pofenian, you should treat them as vassals or nobles if they are capable.

"Hmm ... talks about the threat of foreign powers, raises their international position by standing on the brunt, and diplomacy to form an alliance and gradually establish domination. Domestic politics to establish their own power by gathering support from the commoners, the breadth and courage to appoint superior vassals and delegate command to them, skillfully use candy and whip to newly invaded people Governance skills that make full use of it.The softness of the mind to understand that one's own country is a multi-ethnic nation, and to join the multi-ethnic government if it is excellent to rule it. It's a good reason to switch between them. Above all, it's a rational rule that doesn't involve any emotions. It's not bad.

Of course, it is not possible to fully evaluate just by hearing.

Xerxes closes his eyes a little and thinks.

He opened his eyelids and looked down at his vassals.

"You should continue to monitor the situation on the Adernia Peninsula, and see if the king of Almus is worthy of the alliance. Don't judge the information. Everything you see and hear Tell me. "

"Thank you for your worship. Your Majesty. I will show you my accomplishments. Glory to the Persian Empire."
