Winter has come to Miralardia again this year.

Mao came to my office and was holding his head.

"The Senate says it will ban sea salt trade in the Northern Alliance.

"Hey, isn't the salt from Klauchen no longer on the market? What happens to citizens of the Northern Alliance?"

Mao shrugged.

"I've heard a lot of rumors, but the correct answer should go to the Senate's minions there."

A sullen kite blows steaming green tea. It looks like a cat tongue.

He is a secret betrayal of the Senate, but is apparently regarded as a "man who can negotiate equally with the Black Wolf Lord".

It's a Senate thing.

Kite had a sip of tea and replied:

"Klauchen softened his attitude and said he would run the" Wolf Kill "on the water. Instead, give him more salt interests."

"So did you decide to block the inflow of salt from the south and cover it entirely with rock salt?"

In the northern part, the distribution of sea salt is not large, so it is a deal that would normally be a matter of setting up Klaugen's apartments.

But if you know that Klauchen is familiar with Lolmund, your perspective will change radically.

Mao picks up the baked confectionery and becomes a serious expression.

"Now, when sea salt has ceased to come in, the northern Alliance salt is almost completely dominated by Klaugen. If Klauchen turns over in this state ..."

Yes, the Northern Alliance cuts off the salt supply.

Even so, the amount of salt on the market has recently decreased. Probably not much stockpile.

I was worried about the future of the northern people, but I can't do anything.

"Bahchen and Aryog are both northern alliance granaries. If they turn over, the northern alliance will not be much tougher."

"And there's a Northern Alliance standing army stationed in Schwerm. I don't know how they move, but if they turn to Rolmund ..."

The kite moans.

"It's an enemy to clarify the division of roles for each city."

Mao, by contrast, smiled with an ironic smile. It is a face that the Senate wants to perish quickly.

I laugh at the moaning kite.

"And what is the magician's worried about the future of the Northern Alliance today?"

"This is a letter from the Senate. I want to give Mr. Weid a testimony of friendship."

Apparently, the Senate seems to be a strategy of unnaturally pampering me and isolating me from the surroundings.

The kite reads the content of the gift.

"I will give a mansion for diplomacy to the religious city Iolo Lange. Twenty beautiful women as servants"

"I do not need"

What I want most now is a one-room apartment with air conditioning and air conditioning.

Mao shrugs.

"While growing up Mr. Weid with a gift, he spread rumors around him that" The Black Wolf Lord is intimate with the Northern Alliance. "

"Correct"

A kite is being wiped. It's so silly conspiracy that it seems sad.

"The Senate seems to be making good progress on cracking the Confederation. I'm reporting that way."

"I'm tired. Bad."

I don't feel sorry for making a serious kite a traitor.

Klauchen is now covered in deep snow. Completion of the tunnel with Rolmund is likely to be a little annoying, but lacks information.

"Are the Senate not aware of anything?"

"There are some suspicious movements, but I just hate to report it."

In the Senate, if a staff member reports an inconvenience to the senior citizens, it will be very troublesome, such as "Who is in charge of the matter?", "You will be in charge of the investigation and handling". Then small signs tend to be overlooked.

Because of that, the Senate is an organization where only Jesusman will advance, and no one seems to have any opinion on the aides of the Senate.

I was in such a place in a previous life, so I knew somehow the kite's hardship.

If I were kind enough to teach me about Rolmund, it would probably not reach the elders.

Meanwhile, we were steadily preparing during the winter.

Armaments are important, but developing human resources is one of them.

Today, I will give a lesson on the situation of Miraraldia to Shatina, the new rice keeper of the labyrinth city Zaria.

"The three cities on the west side of the Northern Alliance, Bachen, Schwerm, and Aryog, probably now communicate with Rolmund."

Then she raised her hand.

"Teacher, why did Rolmund narrow down negotiations to just those three cities? Could I have negotiated the same negotiations with all cities in the Northern Alliance?"

"Perhaps it's a matter of personnel. Princess Eleora apparently doesn't seem to be leading too many men. There aren't many diplomats."

Shatina nodded with nodding.

I keep going.

"If you do it all at once, you're more likely to reveal a conspiracy. It's probably from a solid target."

While telling such a story, I showed three cities on the map.

"We know that these three cities are once occupied by the Demon Army, so we know that the Senate is unreliable, and we know that the Demon Army from the Jukai is a threat. It is also great that we can not fight properly.

"I don't want it to break into negotiations and be attacked by Rolmund."

"Oh, nobody wants to be attacked twice in a short time."

The rest depends on how you proceed with the negotiations, but let's estimate Princess Eleora's abilities to the fullest. Assume that all three cities have turned over.

Shatina stares at the map and nods, nodding.

"In this case, Rolmund has five cities, the Northern Alliance has four cities, and the Southern Federation has eight. We are the largest."

"No, I can't say that."

I shook my head.

"Northern cities have a large population due to the Senate policy, while the south has only small towns. There is not much difference in terms of population or long-term military strength."

Rather, because of the size of the country, the military burden will probably be greatest in the Southern Federation. We need to protect a large land with a small army.

The benefactors Belousa and Lozzo are dominated by the Navy, and are unlikely to be protected without the Demon King's efforts.

It seems a little hard when it comes to war.

After returning to Lünheit, I met with the Majesty the Majesty and bowed gracefully.

"That's why I'd like to continue to ask for more military strength."

The secretly master is in the corner of the work room and pours in the sweets I have poured in with tea.

Then I looked up at me with grudge.

"You, the Demon King is too rough."

When it is like 12,000 skeletal soldiers, it is easy if you get it in the hands of Devil King Gomoviroa.

The master muttered, almost dying, buried in a pile of break cushions.

"Is this the pressure of those who stand on top ..."

"I agree"

Probably not, but this is a good thing because we take over all the details.

"By the way, Master, do you know" Magic Book? "

The master dives into the mountain of cushions and answers while shifting to self-proclaimed "invincible mode".

"I don't know"

"I think it's a magical shooting weapon."

Jerryk's voice can be heard from afar in my ears explaining.

`` Wait for me, Monza, I just escorted the general !? ''

"Ah, you have to stop it right? Fern calls, so let's go together

"Please tell the general if you complain."

"Hmm, it's just useless ..."

It sounds terrible, but I don't have the courage to go out here now.

I mean, I was angry right after that, so I'm fine.

The teacher is just crawling out of the cushion pile.

"Because I'm a necromancer, I can only make such items from necromancy. And if I don't have the real thing, I can't analyze it."

"Isn't it possible with rukko?"

Although not a member of the Demon King's army, some people under Gomoviloa specialize in the production of magic tools.

But the teacher shook his head.

"I guess it wouldn't be possible to do that .... but we'll call Lünheight soon, so let's talk at that time."

"understood"

There is no information on the "Magical Book" or "Magical Battalion" from spies speared by the Confederacy in various parts of the country, and it is quite interesting.

I think it's a kind of firearm, but I'm afraid I don't know the specific performance ...
