Reincarnation into the Barrier Master
I haven't heard the 699th story.
The kingdom of Nono... The country is surrounded by mountainous areas, and although it produces little food, it is specially made from high-quality horses. As a result, the country's horses were traded at high prices and used worldwide as military horses. The kingdom managed to maintain its system as a country by purchasing food and other items with the money that sold the horses.
Neighboring Saifand Empire has long been involved in skirmishes near the border with the kingdom of Nono. The kingdom was anxious to acquire the fertile land of this empire. If we can get a piece of this country, the situation in the kingdom will improve dramatically.
But almost thirty years ago, the Empire built a strong castle on the border. Built with stones, this castle was called Casa Castle, and the kingdom did not scare me, no matter how many times the kingdom attacked. Nevertheless, the battle over this castle was a desperate attack on the kingdom's side, and it was able to do a lot of damage to the Empire.
After that, the two countries concluded a ceasefire agreement and continue to the present day. But the Kingdom did not give up its invasion of the Empire. Tiger gazed at the opportunity, but it was difficult to find that gap...
◆◆◆
On a sunny morning, King Hoborn of the Kingdom of Noon summoned his brother, Kabon, the country's prime minister.
Would you like me to call you?
"Hmm. You hear me?"
"... is it Castle Casa?"
"That's right."
Prime Minister Kabon looks up at the sky with his eyes closed. He was roaring in his heart. Because I can see what my brother is thinking in his hands. Not knowing or unaware of his brother's state of mind, the king, Hoborn, stepped out of the throne and opened his mouth.
“Since about a week ago, Casa Castle has been under renovation. It's not just a repair. It's a massive construction project. This is a great opportunity to meet a thousand people."
"Surely that may be the case. But even if we take the Castle of Kaza, our grief will not be fulfilled."
In the words of his brother, Hoborn bends his mouth to the letter. It is easy to sense that he has a sense of crisis when his brother, who always calls himself a king and always stands up for himself, calls himself a brother. However, Hoborn, who, as king, took the lives of his people, could not retreat.
“If we can get past Castle Casa, we can get that fertile land right now. From Castle Casa to the Imperial Capital of the Sephardic Empire, there is not a single fortress. If we can pull through Casa Castle like a thunderbolt, could we possibly swallow the Sephardic Empire itself?”
"No, it's hard."
"Why?"
"Aren't you telling me so many times? Just past Castle Casa, the Saufand Empire must soon send a large army to recapture the castle. Dreams like dropping the Imperial Capital are dreams again."
“That's possible. Not this time."
Is that what you're saying?
"His Highness Nomasa of the neighboring Elsmo Kingdom has promised us reinforcements."
……
Kabon opened his mouth and looked at his brother. I think I did a good job being a careful brother. The eastern neighbor, the Kingdom of Elsmo, was the most important customer in the horse trade, with a comparable power to that of the Saufand Empire. I don't know under what conditions he made such a promise, but it was in his hands that he moved His Highness Nomasa, the next King of the Elsmo Kingdom.
However, Cabo thought that even if Elsmo moved, it would be difficult to achieve his brother's grief.
"Brother, no matter how much Elsmo's reinforcements I get..."
Twenty thousand, then.
“How's it going?
“His Highness Nomasa has promised to send 20,000 reinforcements if we take action.”
“By the way, on what terms did His Majesty have such an appointment?”
"Conditions? There's no such thing."
"No, that Elsmo can't have done that unconditionally."
"Well, if I may say so, it's a celebration."
Celebration?
"Your Highness Nomasa's sister has decided to make you your wife."
"Haa!?"
"It's about time you got a good year, too." One here, one here, and one here. "
……
"I know that you are in love with your childhood friend Armo." But we can't build on that. You were royalty, and Armo was a maid who served his mother... "No matter how you fall, there's no chance you'll be married."
"No, brother, that story..."
"No, I've already made up my mind."
……
“We take action. Send soldiers to Castle Casa as soon as possible. Right now, the castle is demolishing the stone walls that have been built up. A castle without a stone wall is like a naked castle."
"No, even so, my brother, things won't go so well."
In response to his brother's resistance, Hoborn begins to indulge in a trifle of impoverishment, perhaps in frustration. Kabon continues to say more words as he watches how his brother is doing.
"Sure enough, if we send a soldier to Kaza right now, we'll be able to drop it." But the Empire is convinced that it can still defeat our country. That's why we're doing a massive renovation of the castle. ”
"In that case, it would be convenient for Juju." The enemy is wary. What's wrong with thrusting it! "
"No, the Empire is absolutely confident that it will be able to get its hands on Ka 'Sa right away." If 20,000 Elsmo's troops join, it is likely that Agarta and Heat data will join the fight. If that happens, our country will have to perish. "
“Agarta? Heat Data? Why would that world-crowned power slam its neck into our battle?”
“The Emperor of Heidata and the mother of the Empress of Agarta are the daughters of the ancestors of the Sephardic Empire.”
"Wait, is that girl no longer in this world?" Isn't that why Agarta and Headata move? "
"My brother doesn't know anything." Think of it, if you ask for reinforcements from your mother's country of origin, you cannot ignore them. This battle will be tricky, especially if Agarta comes out. As my older brother knows, that country connects the hedgehog data, Niza, and Kaoru, and puts Ramalon under his lap. Not only that, I also subordinate myself to that Crimeana. If that country moves in earnest, it can't be anywhere near tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands of troops will move. If that happens, this country will be filled with the army of Agarta. "
“I don't think so. The death of that daughter has cut the ties between the Sefund and the Headata. These nations have no right to send reinforcements to the Seafund. And Agarta, right? How far do you think we are from our country? No matter how fast you rush, it will take you a month to get around. In the meantime, you just have to finish it.”
"Do you want to end it all? What are you going to do?"
"As soon as we drop Kasa, we'll negotiate with the Seafund."
“What are you negotiating?”
"It will be decided!" Determine the borders. We will swallow up the villages around Kaza. For Seafund, the loss of the surrounding villages keeps the backbone from shaking. "
In response to his brother's words, Kabon shakes his head slowly.
"What are you worried about!" To put it simply, it's a skirmish between small countries. This has happened many times in the past. There is no reason why a great power should bother to stick its neck in such a thing. Your worries are overwhelming. Gather your soldiers now! We'll take command of this battle ourselves! "Well, before I do that, I have to call Elsmo for reinforcements..." Wait? If you send reinforcements and the bride with you, why don't you send two birds in one stone? You don't have to go out of your way to set up the bride procession or, above all, to be guarded by Elsmo's army. Safe! Hahaha! ”
Hoborn rose to the throne with a laugh, and left the scene behind. Kabon looked behind him with his wrinkles between his eyebrows...
