Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 52

I can't help it anymore. It seems impossible to be friendly, so let's go straight to the office.

"More than that, I went to Aram today for consultation."

"Are you consulting?"

Sweat jimi floats on Alam's clothes, and her expression is quite tight. It looks like a pretty stressful state.

Werewolf, who doesn't know what to do, faces the most notorious of Miraraldia. If the situation is reversed, it's no wonder I'm incontinent.

I'm sorry for Aram, but I'll explain it briefly.

"Would you like to have friendly relations with the Demon King Army as well as the Milaldia Alliance?"

"Now !?"

Alam raised her waist and made a strange voice.

`` Do you want me to betray Miraraldia ?! ''

"No, it's not. Calm down."

From here, we need to proceed with the conversation carefully.

The basis of negotiations is to preach to the other party. I think it's important to explain, "If you take this proposal, there's such a good thing."

Intimidation also corresponds to this. It is a business talk that if you take this proposal, you can regain safety.

This is, of course, a last resort.

I keep my low voice, slowly choosing words.

"Even if we loyalize to a dying country, it will not begin?"

"Perish ...?"

Every nation will eventually die. I learned it in the history class of the previous life. I was half asleep.

Anyway, to survive a city-state like Chardall, you have to stay on the move.

Rather than cling to an old-fashioned alliance forever, the acclaimed Demon King's army is better.

Alam is staring at me. I have a bad complexion.

"Would you like to destroy Mirardia?"

"It will be destroyed in some cases."

If we accept demons, the shape of the country will change.

Fortunately, Mirardia is not a monarchy. If the Senate could add demons, it might be somehow surprising.

However, Alam's complexion has been getting worse since then, but did you misunderstand something?

"Don't get me wrong. We're not interested in bloodshed. In fact, three cities, including Lünheit, live under the control of the Demon King."

"One, that means ... if you become an ally, do you have to destroy Chardeal?"

"Of course, I need to be with you."

If you don't become an ally, you won't destroy it. But that's not negotiating, so let's keep silent for now.

Alam is chewing on her lips and looking down.

I think that my misunderstanding is deepening, so let's talk about profit from a different direction.

"I know that Chardiel and other southern cities have a resentment in the north. Therefore, the Demon King is shaking Milardia from north to south."

This is a lie.

Because the policies of the Second Division and the Third Division were too different, the Demon King reluctantly ordered both divisions to proceed from another route.

We're the countryside who lived in remote forests and mountains.

You can't know the alliance's internal affairs.

But it doesn't matter how fact is. That's fine if the other person believes.

"The southern regions of Bernehainen, Tuban and Lünheit are already under the occupation of the Demon King.

Berne Heinen's servant has become a vampire and is not voluntary. But if you keep silent, you won't know.

"Of the eight cities in the south, only five remain. As a Demon Army, I would like to reward the cities that will become friends early on."

It is casually appealing that it is better if you become an ally.

"Especially, Chardard is a bit far away, but east of Lünheit. We hope to build a friendly relationship as soon as possible."

A glance at Alam's face reveals that her complexion has subsided. Maybe that's the expression you're doing.

However, further relentless negotiations are forbidden.

Chardall is a member of the alleged Miraraldia Alliance. Betrayal involves significant risks.

As a result of the independence, there is no Demon King to protect against if attacked by the Milaldia army. I want to protect it if possible, but I don't have enough strength right now.

If you have a good sense of judgment, you will have no choice but to reply "no" even if you are killed.

And if we are explicitly rejected here, the negotiations are over.

That is a problem.

So I stood up and lightly bowed to the growling Alam.

"Of course, it doesn't mean we're going to reply right now. Trust is time-consuming to foster. We can reply at a later date."

In my words, Alam has a blatant expression.

"Okay, let me consider it a little."

"Oh, it would be helpful if you could do that."

I had a brief tour of the city of Chardeal and went home.

The town is full of caravans, probably because of the lake on the north side. Merchants with various outfits from various places are relaxing at taverns and inns.

It seems lively and the standard of living is good, but don't worry that the guards are too small.

Instead, they saw soldiers dressed like guards everywhere. Who are they?

On the way home, I was told the complaints of the Hammam squad.

"Captain, why didn't you end up with Tamori?"

"That's right, couldn't even five of us attack me?"

"I thought I could be rampaged after a long time."

How much you want to rampage, you guys.

As I was sighing, the squad leader Hammam muttered.

"Believe your deputy. He has such a good wisdom he can't reach."

The wolves looked at the words and nodded.

"Is that so too?"

"I should leave it to the captain."

I have a good subordinate.

But I don't have good wisdom, it's just because I was human in the previous life.

After returning, I realized the real reason Aram did not accept the Milaldia army.

According to rumors from traders, Alam seems to be secretly recruiting private soldiers.

Chardall has only one hundred and twenty guards assigned. Less than Luneheight. This seems to be the cause of the Unification War, but it is rare.

Some nomadic tribes do not belong to the city around the trade route. At the same time they are neighbors, they are sometimes bandits on trade routes. Collect tolls from travelers without permission.

Even if they pay money honestly, they will provide convenience such as directions, but they are not very well-behaved.

Of course, be vigilant.

But with one hundred and twenty guards, it's all about keeping the city safe. Because it is a city with a lot of traffic, it takes considerable manpower to judge the gate alone.

For the time being, it is supposed to dispatch a standing army in an emergency, but it is meaningless if it is not in time.

Alam seems to have hired a lot of mercenaries and swordsmen shortly after taking office. What I saw at Chardeal was the private soldiers.

The exact number is unknown, but it is rumored that there are probably two hundred. And as far as I can tell, the equipment and skill seemed comparable to the guards. The discipline is not bad either.

But this violates the agreement of Milardia, which bans the city's standing army. I was afraid of this discovery.

I thought I was so excited. It's daring to do it for the innocent. Although it is a planner, it may be a type of drowning in the plan.

But this is a great opportunity for the Demon King to dig into it. Let's sell our power and be your friend.

I'll go again soon.
