Episode 222: The Unstoppable Flow

Kingdom of Malt Biard

"The damage to the Vandrea army would have been enormous and the pressure on the Altair Empire would have decreased. Unfortunately, we've broken our previous strategy."

Visiting us in Biard to heal the fatigue of the battle, Yuno is superficial, but he can put an atmosphere of blame on me at every end of the word.

It's like I'm sorry.

I'll turn the diagonal.

"Please don't act like a child."

Myra put my face back.

"They're the ones who attacked the malt. I'm not stupid enough to say a word to someone who's beaten me up."

"Still a little handy... according to this information, we have collapsed one of their main regiments, and now Vandrea will be on the defensive side of the Altair Empire for a while."

There's no way I can give it three times as much credit as my opponent.

Celia, come on, if I hadn't stroked your head, I'd be yelling at you.

Yuno brought up a new topic when he saw me visibly in a bad mood.

"I clearly told him that Liberties was concerned about the malt invasion when it came to Vandrea. Based on the fact that Lord Hardlett was more powerful than they expected, there would be no re-invasion."

You don't have to say that all the time.

In the first place, I've destroyed the main force, so I know there's no room to invade for a while.

"Please calm down, Master Agil... fu fu fu fu"

They overpowered Celia's hands rubbing her face loose.

My heart slowly calmed down as I stroked my cheeks.

"Liberties also protect the malt. Is that all you need this time?

"No, I was wondering if you could help me with a new strategy."

"Well, what?" "Ha Ugh."

I'm sorry, Celia, but you've got strength again.

"We can no longer expect the battered Vandrea to exert pressure on the Altair Empire. But their weakening can be exploited."

Yuno continues with a thin laugh.

"We will circulate information to the Altair Empire that Vandrea has failed to invade the malt and lost one of its main forces. After some exaggeration, of course."

"So Altair can afford more and more?

It's going to be like coming to the malt with your hands up to Altair.

Yuno laughs for a moment.

It felt like you made fun of me but didn't bother me so much.

Leopold's guy sighed more blatantly.

"If Vandrea is weak, Altair will have room to reach elsewhere. But why not weaken beyond degrees? Will they give a little bit to Liberties and Malts? More than that, would you judge Vandrea, the enemy of uncertainty, a good opportunity to perish once and for all?

I see, it's easier for us to hit each other harder than they tow each other.

But there's a problem.

"So what if Altair really destroys Vandrea? It's the completion of a great power. The threat will be no more than it has ever been."

"Hey Vandrea still has two elite legions. Besides, they still have room to gather soldiers... they won't be destroyed so easily. Even if it dies, it will fight hard and drain Altair's power."

I get the logic, but I feel it's being used to be good for Yuno.

"So what do you want me to do?

"Yeah, just as intimidating to Vandrea as it is now...... I'd appreciate it if you could have a skirmish at the border looking at the opportunity and not just the moment. Vandrea will have to spin some soldiers, and if Altair realizes that, it will be the call for a full-scale attack."

Why should I fight for Liberties?

I tried to say no, but Leopold whispers in his ear.

"Please accept. I have an idea."

Wouldn't that be true?

I'll put Nina to bed if there's any trouble.

"Fine. I'll judge the timing and scale here, but the border says," But that's not all reciprocity. "

Just let me answer you. Leoporto speaks up.

You bastard......

"What is it?

Yuno looks at Leoporto with the color of vigilance floating.

It's so different than when I was here, why are you so wary of this guy?

"Only Liberties primarily benefit from this measure"

"Vandrea will also be defensive, so Lord Hardlett and Mort will be cheap, right?

"Originally Vandrea can't move satisfactorily with this painful hand. You can't say it's very much in the same interest."

Yuno looks a little bitter but can't seem to say it back.

"If it becomes a further conflict, soldiers will die and supplies will be consumed. I'm not saying the information from Liberty's side is worthless either, but isn't it unfair to say that only we bear the burden of blood?

"Specifically, you want Liberties to have soldiers too?

"No, your national circumstances will not allow that to happen. So instead of blood, I'd like you to provide the appropriate funding."

The surrounding diplomats began to bother.

Yuno himself gazes at Leoporto to stare at him.

The disgusting stares between the men lasted about thirty seconds.

I'll find Myra in the meantime.

Hehe, you're turning red, you're my winner.

"... I understand. Let's discuss the exact amount again after we report it to the Minister. But even though it's more intimate than paying for the state, we'll leave it as a sentence for both parties."

"That's funding, we have a conflict in the border zone. I did promise. Good day, Sir Hardlett."

He only wants my consent for the last time. [M]

Do as you please.

"Then the consultation was with your government through her..."

That was the last time we had a meeting with Yuno.

"Hey, Leopold, why don't you wake me up for a skirmish over Liberties? There's no point in losing a soldier."

I believe this guy unwillingly, but this time I don't know what it means.

"Well, we're not promising a skirmish or anything. I said we'd start a conflict at the border."

Isn't that the same thing?

"Look at the map. East of the plains, the Vandrea People's Union and Mort and the borders of our territory are intertwined. Malt has a wide border not only in the south, but also in the east, and the southern region, where our territory is well developed and an important grain region, is near the border."

Leoporto says it's obvious to show ambition again if we restore our national power.

"Collision with Vandrea at the border. It would be desirable if we could get our hands on them... but let's take that opportunity and go south at once, at least to the line south of the Kingdom of Malt, where we can go."

"I see... it must be [a dispute] indeed"

They will attack us completely and cut off our territory.

I promised Yuno it would be "disputed" so it wouldn't be a violation.

"If we get this area, the malt will be free of threats from the east, and we will also get a buffer zone to the main land."

I thought it was boring not to be used.

"Weakened Vandrea, plus Altair's full invasion, will leave no room to turn east."

Use Liberty's money to cut territory, or it's funny.

"So let's go. Tristan was creating a position in the border zone. Is it available?

"I've already thought about it"

It's going to be a fun winter.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

Vandrea People's Federal Capital Vandra People's Congress

"Comrade Baychek, do you have something to say?

"... there isn't. All responsibility for the defeat is my incompetence. Without apologizing to the people and their representatives."

Baychek stands in the middle of a meeting ordered to wear private clothes, not regular military uniforms.

Nearly ten people were exposed to their gaze, and their appearance, dripping with poverty-stricken clothes, looked like nothing but sinners.

"This is your place to listen, not ask for an apology."

One participant said so, but Baychek couldn't do anything but tremble and look down.

This is unlikely to give us any input, but the participants don't particularly care.

This is what happens to all who are drawn to the occasion of the People's Assembly.

"Gentlemen, will we need to talk any more? Defeated by a weak enemy, even surrendered to discredit the majesty of our country. I can only assume that comrade Baychek lacked loyalty. You deserve to be sentenced."

"Uhm, if not the people will also be explained. We'll have to conscript on a large scale nearby."

Everyone goes along with the two opinions.

"People's representatives are also outraged. Halfway..."

"So your family too?" "No, it's better to let the people do it..."

Baychek drops his shoulder disappointingly, albeit with the expected conclusion.

But an old man slowly raises his hand.

"Well, well, there's no rush to conclusions."

"Comrade Bellase, even if you're not comfortable with the conclusion?

The old man smiles... but only his eyes say with a cold look at Beychek.

"Only the loyalty of his torn opponent, even the third legion of Bruzak, can be said to be a problem. Surrender was certainly unusual, but half the soldiers were able to return."

"Surrendered soldiers, etc!" "If they brag about defeat, the opposite is suspicion of the military..."

The old man continues by coughing heavily and sealing the field.

"The Third Army tore unconsciously by an ambush that shaded the enemy's night... but your Lord fought from the front and lost. Right?

"... depending on the facade"

The bread and the old man slap their hands heavily.

"Comrade Baychek, let me give you a chance."

Hope returns to Baychek's face when his surroundings are deliberate.

But it didn't last long.

"Reorganize the brave invading army that escaped and put it under your command by adding an elite group of young men brave enough to defy the government even more. Comrades will conquer the realm of those who break directly into Hardlett territory, and let them know how powerful Vandrea is."

Everyone around was breathtaking, not just Baychek.

"The Decapitated and the Prisoner Troops......" "I see, if we can indeed put it together and dispose of it, we can save ourselves the hassle"

"It's..."

The old man controls Baychek to say something with a resourceful voice.

"I think both families are smarter options than death squads as they are. Get ready to organize immediately."

Baychek, who leaves the scene flashly...... the old man dropped it off satisfactorily.

"Are you sure, comrade Bellasse?"

One conference attendee speaks to the old man like he was bewildered.

"We also have inner promises to the people's representatives. Returning the defeated soldiers as they are involves the prestige of our country."

The strength of the army was an important element in even the loyalty of the people to the Vandrea government.

It is not convenient to be told that in the south, such as the defeat from the front by the famous weak country Mort.

"The Third Corps can also claim to be a cowardly unintentional strike on nights with poor vision, but Baychek's army lost from the front. The soldiers would have kept a good idea of the war. If the 5,000 escaped mouths open in unison, we'll be in trouble."

"But now it's a waste of time for one soldier. The soldiers are back at hand... and we are all singing in the war against Gordonia."

"Hey, you can treat me like a deserter if you go out there, and you can tell Goldonia that too"

Will it work that way?

A little anxiety lingers in everyone's mind.

But the old man is a powerful man close to the people's representative, and eating down any more would jeopardize his own position.

"From my experience, it's okay. Recruitment will restore your strength in the spring. Yeah, well, sometimes Altair set me up, and Hardlett said he was missing out on martial arts... this is a deserter, this is a funny joke."

to the old man's laughter. The participants around him only followed with a bitter laugh.

For the record, the real wife and the side room.

Ma'am, your tea is ready.

"Ma'am, Bartolomei is crying that she wants milk"

I was talking to two of my usual samurai as Nonna sat on the couch in the living room.

"Hey Nonna."

That's where Carla speaks in a mild tone.

"What is it, Carla?"

You don't have any friends, do you?

Gashan and Nonna hit the desk.

"Oh, ma'am!" "Please hold on!

"Hey, what are you talking about, stupid Carla!

Stand up and approach Kara, Nonna, but she continues to float.

"'Cause you don't have to be talking to a woman other than a samurai. You're not even fighting, are you?

"Even you..."

Say it. Nonna shuts up.

Carla reminded me to go shopping and hanging out with Miley a lot.

Each of the other women has a special friendly.

"Ku...... I have Sally and Tory!

"Well, I'm afraid so, ma'am." "I admire you."

I'll see Kara. Nonna.

But with her legs together, she laughs at Hung.

"Friends or employers?

"Well, that's... what a waste of friends" "because I'm a beloved wife..."

"Look at them. Stop hurting! You have a hard head!

Nonna repeatedly punches her head at Kara in tears.

"Hey, Ra, when you only have a family, you're a real wife, too. - I mean, stay close to everyone more without straining your shoulders! I know you're saying that would make it more enjoyable and painful!

Carla grabs Nonna's neck, which keeps poking her head, and falls from the couch to the floor.

The two made a dosundsung noise and rolled around.

"How dare you embarrass me in front of Sally and the others!

"That's what he said. He said he was elbowed. Bullshit! Don't stink milk me!! Here's what I'm gonna do!

"Phew!

The ladies squirm as they watch the two working on it.

"Hey, Sally, have you ever seen a side room with a real wife this close?

"No way. Maybe if I told you, you two would get mad at me."

The baby, who cried in noise, panicked and Nonna and Carla stopped working together and began to refrain.

"I think you're best friends enough."

The mansion was still peaceful today.

'Cause, by the way, I heard you.

"Oh, your wife seems to be eager..."

"Awesome hell ears...... Ha!

Nonna poked her head small at the samurai with a swollen cheek smile.
