Price of Management

Just as I was about to leave for the Orient Kingdom, I received an urgent message from the crown.

A brief note was written in the writing of the late Duron.

Foreign Affairs Visa Bird launched an alliance with Independents of the Nomads. Compromising argument. Suspend travel to the Orient Kingdom and return to the palace immediately.

An ally of the Nomadic Independents?

Visa?

As soon as I read the letter, I immediately remembered Earl Ranzhel.

Oh, I see.

It is Earl Ranzhel who encourages and supports the nomadic Independents after the siege.

Earl Ranzhel was after me as well as the Horn Imperial Court.

Allies with the Nomadic Independents can inflict damage on the Horn Empire. Once the Independents, including the Tallacs, are truly independent, it will be a huge blow to the Horn Empire.

Then my alliance with the Orient Kingdom will be meaningless. It was even more subtle that the person who was pushing it was a Visa that put his position at risk because of me.

Earl Wolfgang Lanchel…….

That's what the dying man thought. It really seemed like the brain rotation was the only one specialized in that way.

“Surely we can't go to the Kingdom of Orion at this rate? ”

Earl Ranzhel, the bad guy, would have done more work here.

This information was probably leaked to the Orient royal side as well.

If we succeed in fending off the Horn Empire with the nomadic Independents, we no longer need to fear the Horn Empire from the perspective of the Orient Empire. Of course, you don't feel the need to make alliances with us.

This means that if you go to the Orient Kingdom like this, you will only be able to return after drinking water.

I can't do it.

I must go to King Leaden's chambers.

I greeted my father, Uncle Arthur, and Julia and Sis who work at the Carrock Weapons Shop, and then left for Ledon.

Aesthetics blows like the wind and reveals King Erik, already debating Duke Duron, Jeron and Louie.

“Hello, birdie ligand. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

I kneel to King Erik and pay my respects.

“The situation is as I said in the letter. Bird of Visa offered to ally himself with the nomadic tribes that are confronting the Horn Empire, and the leaders of each department also agreed with him. ”

Earl Duron gives me a nod.

“They are all the hearts of Earl Ranzhel. He's trying to get Bird of Visa to build up his foothold and put pressure on us. ”

“Yes. The problem is that the proposal of the Visa itself is quite plausible. If it were a ridiculous offer, I would have turned it down sooner rather than later. ”

Louie helped explain it.

“The Kingdom of Ledon and the Jehovah rarely stand a chance against a common enemy by uniting their forces. This time, however, the landscape is already supporting Independents of the nomads, and if our royal family is too harsh, it will be a great opportunity for the royal family, the landscape and the nomadic Independents to work together. And that's probably where my novel claims to be. ”

“But if we allied with the nomadic Independents, does that mean that we should send our troops to support them fully for their independence? ”

Louie answered my question.

“Even if it's not like that, you're thinking of using some kind of military action to intimidate the Horn Imperial Faith. ”

I shook my head.

That's a terrible idea.

You cannot defeat Emperor Kars with indirect support, such as threats, rather than direct support. The opponent is the emperor Kars. He'll soon know if we're really going to intervene in military action or if we're just going to stop as a threat.

Perhaps they will completely ignore us and subdue the Barbarian Independents like a storm. He is the owner of a fearsome determination without hesitation to move an enormous army.

We need to deploy our troops to actively support them, stay out of their way, or both. Awkward support is like scraping and scraping off income.

Besides...

I'm telling you, this is the emperor Kars?

In retrospect of his former life, Emperor Kars had rarely lost a war during the conquest of half the continent. He has never lost a battle led by his own troops. Not once!

Will the Tallac chieftain be able to build an independent nation against him?

I wouldn't know if it was that much trouble.

Chief Tallack has never heard of me before in my life. In his past life, Emperor Kars subjugated and absorbed the nomadic people into his control, but he was unable to fight the tribes who resisted. They all surrendered to Emperor Kars without fail.

I opened my mouth after thinking.

“I disagree. ”

Everyone's attention was on me.

I kept saying.

“It's not because of my individual political position. Although they were nomads who were not controlled by the Horn Empire, it is not easy to establish an independent nation. I can't hide the question of whether the Tallac chieftain dreaming of independence is the vessel to accomplish such a feat. ”

“What do you know about Chief Tallack? ”

Earl Duron asks.

“Yes.”

I nodded.

“I learned about the Tallac chieftain through one of my merchants who had been to the Horn Empire. From what I hear, he's ferocious, fiery and impulsive. There are many tribes who oppose his will and are banished. I took some of them, including the top three Tallac warriors. ”

“Hmph. You need leadership to embrace all the many tribes to stand up to the Horn Empire, but that doesn't make sense." ”

“Yes, and in the first place, his ambition to build an independent country was inspired by post-school initiatives. Although the Horn Empire was branded with rebellion, there was no other choice, it is pessimistic that what could have been accomplished without careful planning ahead would have succeeded. ”

Then King Erik, who was still listening to me, asked.

“Ligand Birch. What do you think an Independent Nomad should do to succeed against the Horn Empire? ”

“There is only one way to win, long time ago. The Hunt Imperial Court aims to avoid head-on conflicts and draw out the war for long periods of time. The longer the war, the harder it will be to afford military funds. ”

“If the war is prolonged, even the nomadic tribes who have been subdued by the Horn Empire will likely change their minds and join the Independents. ”

Jeron helped and said, I nodded. Construction of an independent country unique to the nomadic tribe would be an attractive topic for all tribes.

I kept saying.

“But like I said, Chief Tallac wasn't cut out for long periods. Just as I was encouraged by the Jehovah, I will be caught up in the schemes of Emperor Kars in war. for example, by deliberately losing and planting vain arrogance in Chief Tallac. ”

“Well, I guess. ”

King Erik nods in kind.

But it was then.

Louie raises his hand and asks for permission to speak. With King Erik's permission, Louie asked me a question.

“By the way, based on what Prince Ligand has to say, it seems natural that Emperor Kars has an exceptional military ability, but am I right? ”

“That's right."

“I have no evidence of Emperor Kars' military abilities, but may I ask what makes you so sure?" ”

Because, of course, I've seen what he does in his past life!

…… I was frustrated because I couldn't resist.

This was the difference between me and others.

I have lived 90 years of my life and have seen the great and terrifying nature of Emperor Kars.

He destroyed the Kingdom of Leaden and threw the Kingdom of Orion into ruins. He swallowed up half of the continent and led the era in many ways, including political and economic culture.

But only I know that.

They don't know how frightening Emperor Kars is.

If King Kars knew his worth, he would not hesitate to make an alliance with King Leaden. After the establishment will also actively cooperate in stopping the Horn Empire by forgetting its political conflicts.

I'm in such trouble because no one knows how dangerous this country is until they face me!

I sighed and said.

"It is likely that Emperor Kars, whom I have met, has honed his mercenary skills as high as he considers himself to be the rebirth of Duke Bezalius, and that his swift judgement or conscience is a threat enough in terms of war as it is. If that doesn't explain it, I'll just call it my gut. ”

“I see. I see. ”

Louie did not ask any more questions, but accepted what I said.

“Anyway, I need to gather more specific information, but I'm against alliances with the Nomadic Independents. ”

“From what I've heard, I think the original ligand's claim is correct. Then we must advance our alliance with the Orient Royal Society, regardless of the Nomads' Independents. ”

King Erik concludes.
