Price of Management

“He must have sent a legion to help us in this situation anyway. You may be planning to seize control of the continent for fishing grounds, but we don't have to figure that out right now. It's just... ”

Jeron speaks in a discreet tone.

“The longer the war, the greater the damage of the country, the more likely the intentions of the Orient Kingdom are to be visualized. ”

“The Horn Empire wants to end the war with a short-term struggle, and the Orient royal family wants the war to last longer. I don't know what to do with it. ”

King Eric shakes his head and speaks powerlessly.

This was international relations.

Arguing with each other to gain advantage, biting and biting each other without full enemies or full allies.

It was King Eric who suffered to protect the country in such chaos. Suffering on the throne.

Civil War, Great Famine, Black Blood Disease, Jehovah, The Horn Empire…….

After ascending to the top, I felt sorry for King Erik, who had never had a comfortable day. That's why he's been holding on to me so hard to ease his pain.

I spoke to comfort King Erik like that.

“Don't worry, Your Majesty. If we overcome this hurricane, there will be a time of peace. ”

“Ha, I don't know. Was there ever a day like that? I haven't had a good day in the wind since I sat down here.... ”

King Erik wears his brow and complains.

“It's human history that peace and chaos are repeated all the time. His Majesty was fortunate to be on the throne at the end of the peace. ”

“Haha, well……. ”

“You were lucky to have me instead. ”

I was joking. King Erik blew up the fire.

“Hahaha! You're right. It's only fair what God does when he gives me a bunch of trouble and makes me swallow up a lazy bum like you. If it was a time of peace, we wouldn't have had a chance to use you as a trophy. ”

Everyone laughed at that.

Thanks to you, the atmosphere became brighter.

“Anyway, what do you think? We can't let 50,000 horsemen defeat the Horn Empire. ”

“At 70,000 troops, the commander is Lord Raell, the son of Duke Britain, and it is not so easy to be targeted by the Horn Empire. But even so, if we continue to suffer the guerrilla attacks of the nomadic people, our march speed will be somewhat delayed and our damage will increase. ”

It was Louis' opinion who was listening quietly.

Jeron said.

“It's funny, though, that we're sending reinforcements for members of the Orient Royal Army. If he had the time, he would have sent the soldiers to Ligand territory. Once we've informed Birkhoff Raell Briton about this, he'll be on his own. If you lose to 50,000 Cavalry and fail to achieve your goal, you will be greatly dishonored. ”

“Mmmm... ”

King Erik has had his disagreements.

In any case, the first-in-command of the Orient Royal Army is determined to help us in this situation, and it will really help us now that one soldier is sorry. It wasn't hard to think of anything we could do to make sure that such a soldier joined us safely.

King Erik shakes his hand, not giving much thought.

“Let's go back and do our job today and talk again tomorrow. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

We're all out of King Erik's temporary office.

Louie, who held me on his back and played power, who has become the talk of the day, came to me.

“Your Honor. ”

“Oh, the next Chancellor. Haven't you had a hard time working lately? ”

“It's not hard for war. The sooner I get things done, the busier I am, but apparently I'm still neglectful of the management's attitude. ”

“Well, I don't think so. Don't you think you're taking things too fast? ”

The financial government was rumored to have a large workload across all departments. The officials in the royal family have just heard a lot of spiritual noises praying to avoid the financial government, but Louie's complaint makes me sweat.

“It's only when people meet their limits that they get a chance to break it and advance further. They haven't met their limits yet. ”

Oh my...

That's some scary rigidity. It was Louis Concernda who was governor of the Kingdom of Leaden in his former life.

In his past life, when he was discussing the fall of the Kingdom of Leaden, he said that the one who destroyed King Kars and the one who absorbed him was Louis Concern.

When Louis Concern was appointed to the Emperor as governor, he quickly stabilized the confused mood and expelled the resistance, trampling the buds of the resurrection of the Kingdom of Leaden.

A fearsome realist far from patriotism. After carrying out a thorough and beneficial rule on the vast majority of people, Louie bought a fierce blame from the nobles, but received much praise and remained controversial until the end of time.

I slapped Louis on the back.

“Here, don't put too much pressure on your shoulders. Such oppressive leaders can be poisoned when the time of peace comes, even when there is light in the chaos. ”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. In peaceful times, people who have no place to vent their remaining power complain to their poisonous leaders. ”

Louie ponders for a moment and concludes.

“…… if that's the case for you, Chancellor. I'll keep that in mind. But you believe in peace in the future. ”

“When the war is over, will there be peace? War and peace have been repeated periodically. ”

“If the Horn Empire triumphs, Emperor Kars will continue to accelerate the conquest of the continent, and if we triumph, the veteran lords may want to press back and conquer the Horn Empire." ”

“I don't know about the former, but the latter is too much to talk about. Do you think we can maintain the security of even the mighty Horn Imperial Court? The bastards of a noble family without succession will flock to the Horn Empire for new opportunities, but it seems to me all will fail to settle down. There will be revolt everywhere.... Something similar will happen to the fall of Queen Isabella's post-Horn Empire. ”

“That would be the chance for the duc's fisherman to try. ”

“Yes. As long as the Orient King has the patience to wait until then." ”

But I think the Orient King is pretty bad at timing.

“I see.”

Louie nods, chewing on my words. What else is she thinking? Sometimes I worry that Louie seems to take my word for it. I could believe someone was planting beans for my faction.

Louie opens his mouth after some time of deliberation.

“Your Honor. ”

“Huh?"

“Why don't you go and bring in the royal soldiers of the Orion?" ”

“By myself? ”

“Yes.”

“Well, I hadn't thought of that.... At the meeting, Jeron said," If I had the time, I would have sent the militia to ligand territory. ’There was a saying. ”

“It would be better if the eyes of the Horn Empire were directed towards the Royal Army of Orion. The chancellor's choice is to assist the ligand lands." ”

“That's right."

“It's not unlikely, but even if you go to ligand territory, the effects will be temporary. Unless we can use the power of the Minister of Treasure's animisty to enter a massive counterattack, we don't have enough troops in the Ligand territory. ”

Hmm...

And there's a monster named Duke Rompel who can sense spiritual energy.

You can ambush the Royal Air Force alone to do some damage to the troops, or build defenses to help defend them, but you can't stay in the ligand territory for long, so Louie said it would be a temporary effect.

“I don't care what happens to the Ligand Territory in cold language. The battle is between the Emperor and our royal family. It is much more effective to join the Royal Army of Orients. ”

Louis continues.

“And the truth is, I have a plan. ”

“Scheme?”

“It's more of a political duc than a ruse, but if we succeed, the Orion empire will be unable to target fishermen. Would you like to hear it? ”

“Oh, tell me about it. ”
