The Royal Palace of the Canis Empire has an unparalleled and unique appearance.
A flat building with bright yellow roof tiles like gleaming gold, each facing exactly either east, west, north or south, is a spectacularly connected structure.
To take the space, surround each of its four sides with a square building. Repeat it, the outermost is surrounded by walls painted crimson.
The stone square that lies ahead of you from the main gate is vast, and the people who stand there and look down from the edifice of the royal palace cannot but understand their inferiority and the mightiness of the empire.
Deep within such a royal palace lies the (...) Throne Room of two (...) eyes (...).
No one, no matter how social, will ever have access to this place. And behold with the descendants between the thrones of a place closer to the table. This was a place where no other than the Emperor and senior officials could enter.
The decorations with the balls were hanging like curtains.
A very limited number so as to hide between them. The emperor's trust is also withheld by the elite soldiers of the thick Yellow Army.
The left and right sides of the room were lattice doors carved with watermarked carved dragons, outside of which the corridor was sticking out like a balcony towards a pond. A thin silk curtain gently blocks the wind with sunlight and water to plug in.
At the bottom of the room as if floating on the water, a rose with a sandalwood texture: cut out of a single large tree.
The man who keeps himself worried on that throne is Emperor Kanis Minhao.
Or set its own name and say… "Dragon Abyss".
When I say king of this mighty Canis Empire, is it a big man who pokes clouds or a fierce general who kills people with only his eyes...
If you had such a preconceived notion, you would be betrayed all the time.
Dragon Abyss is in its mid-twenties. Somewhat luxurious and not tall.
Dark-haired black eyes with dried eggs (noodles and occassions) on a thin, smooth surface. White skin, which is said to be 'like a woman', with half the whisperer.
The gaze without a gap is samurai when it comes to samurai, but that's all.
He wears a crown with a unique shape, like the one that gave him a plate over his head, and he wears embroidered red and black clothes of divine beasts and stars.
In front of the throne where the dragon abyss sat, he knelt down and spread the rolled document, and there was a figure of a man reading it out. By human standards, they look like about thirties.
This one is even more luxurious than Dragon Abyss, with elongated hands, feet and fingers, and taller height. The man, dressed so perfectly in official clothing that no folds were found, is characterised by his stroked green hair and pointed ears. She had skin with a texture like white wood, and she had a tattoo around her left eye with five black dots.
A somewhat rare species in human society. It is an elf.
His name is Star Ring. My real name is Glen Miles.
The title is General.
He heads all four armies, blue, red, black and white, with the exception of the Yellow Army, which is the direct Kingsguard of the Emperor. In fact, he's the chief military officer.
There is no such thing as nobility in this country.
As a system, there are only 'emperors' and 'officials' in this country. General/Star Ring and that is not the exception.
However, the starring ring ring, a long-lived elf, has served this country since the founding of the Kanis Empire, and is so influential that it can be described as a political privileged class.
He was also a warlord of such presence and strength that he was good at a human army without elves and others and could be said to have star rings in the Empire.
Originally a starring ring ring that was General Blue, he is now drawn to the Dragon Abyss, the current emperor, to assume the status of Grand General.
"… The Red Army is therefore now on its way to securing the path that appeared in the Ku Lukal Mountains.
Your report will be completed. "
"Hmm..."
Upon completion of the report, the star ring gently pressed up the edgeless glasses with its fingertips to reposition them.
Dragon Abyss strikes a correlation as he contemplates something, looking at the "Parent Book" delivered by the empty cavalry.
"... don't smell the same"
"My lord?"
I can't try to make sense of the words of Dragon Abyss, and the star ring asks in surprise.
"The rest of us only know the Demon King's Army on the day of his presence in records and old stories.
But from this big trick, it shouldn't seem like the same smell as the former Demon King's Army did.
An exuberant oddity as if to mock a people who fight for their lives...
Well, maybe he pulled one or two of his staff from the Demon King's army. "
"Ha ha..."
Ever since the Empire had just been established, Star Ring has continued its endless battle with the Demon King's Army as a martial officer.
Even for the rings, the idea of the Dragon Abyss seems' possible '.
But since it is only an uncertain guess at present, the rings did not deny or affirm it.
Dragon Abyss seems somewhat amusing, but the star ring was only a man who loved victory, so the weaker the enemy thinks the better.
In that regard, although there is disagreement with Dragon Abyss, who enjoys the battle, Dragon Abyss's greed and ability for victory also trusted Star Ring.
"The Red Army has already moved to secure its way through the mountains. If you miss this opportunity, it is also possible that the mountain (...) direction (...) country (...) will take the road.
But as it is, it will create tension with Diretta.
May I, my lord? "
"It's no use panicking. I can only do what I can.
You can't give the 'walkway' of the mountain range to another country by mistake, and if you do, you just have to secure it.
If we knew that we had used the demon-made path, we would not have seen our country descended on the demon's family, and if so, there would be nothing more than to advertise this as our feat and bring the people to a boil at best.
In that case, your relationship with Diletta would be extremely bad, but you can't help it. The Red Army will be staring at the Diletta Army. "
The rings say nothing back. Because that's something I can't move anymore.
Water flows lower than nature and higher. Just like that, there was an irreversible flow.
... The Canis Empire must face the Holy Kingdom of Diretta.
Until now, the Kanis Empire has conquered as many nation states by intimidation and the use of force.
However, he avoided decisively breaking and clashing with the other four powers that were seen as linear forces.
Because if it's a total war, it can be painful with the Kanis Empire. More territory at the end of a muddy battle to crush the soldiers won't last. War of aggression should be overwhelming.
Well, there can be defeat if two of the Powers are at the same time in total war. So far, the White Army in the west has not been able to collide directly with the kingdom of Noaculio, but we do not even know if Noaculio will come to put on the stakes, assuming we are at war with Diletta. It would suck if the Demon King's Army punched him in the back where he lost his reserve power.
Such a critical situation, but also a good opportunity.
It would be a national undertaking if it were to cross the Ku Lucal Mountains. So we should have had to detour.
If a path were suddenly made there, it would be a very useful route of aggression.
If you cross the "spine of the earth" Ku Lukal Mountains, the Freible Inland Sea is the present.
If you can get into the inland sea and get a harbor, you will gain a great deal on logistics and commerce. Let's also give the coastal countries, including Diletta, a glimpse.
Half of them have no choice.
Seek half of it yourself.
The Red Army will cross the Ku Lukal Mountains...
"Star rings. How do you read" Princess Rose of Grief "'s intentions?
"Ha. In the medium to long term, I was wondering what the aim would be to contend with and weaken the divine kingdom of Diletta, which can also be called its own natural enemy.
It just seems like the Holy Kingdom of Diletta is creating a reason not to question itself. "
"... Hmm. Apparently, I didn't have to fire you."
"Play..."
"So far, there are no threats like this in the east. If we stop the invasion of the Blue Army and leave only a few numbers to contain the occupied territories, and let the Red Army support us, the trend will lean towards our country, however. Bastard, I slipped out to build a nest at the end of the Blue Army nose.
In other words… the existence of the "Princess Rose of Grievances" becomes an irreplaceable stone of containment for Diletta and her children "
Dragon Abyss fishes and laughs at the edge of his mouth.
I felt like a wave stood in a pond surrounding the throne room.
"" Princess Rose of Grievances "is undead. Wherever you flee, you will not escape the Holy Maddogs of Diletta (Moon Eaters). They're going into places where the army can't get in anyway. If you try to stay in one place, you will sniff it at the end of the earth.
But it's the stinking boys who want the benefit of this world (depression) over the fulfilment of their teachings that carry the chains of the mad dogs.
... my little girl. We used our empire to seal the Moon Eater movement. "
Diretta Sacred Kingdom's most powerful special forces, the Moon's Destruction Party (Moon Eater).
The main task is to destroy the wicked and undead, but once driven out into interpersonal combat, they still show unrivalled strength.
But the number of combatants required is oddly small. The exact number is hidden, but is there a hundred?
It is unclear why they are so narrow in number, but they are limited in number due to some circumstances. For this reason, the Moonless Party (Moon Eater) combatants are always flying around the world.
Because of that state of affairs, a few months after I called it in, it was also rough that one combatant would finally be dispatched.
This time, Diletta said he had gathered more than twenty combatants on his expedition to Ciel-Teira, but this is the same as the biggest mobilization in the Joint Expedition of the Nation Against the Demonic Kings and Peoples, which is the last to be interrupted 14 years ago.
I have the impression that we have gathered people through considerable force... but the Canis Empire was grasping the information that it was the truth that we ate into the bait called the Grasselm Mine of Ciel-Teira.
Without the bait, none of these fighters would have come out no matter how tense one child troubled idiot is.
Quick story is, the Moonless Party (Moon Eater) personnel are valuable. It is a 'trump card of the human race' relied on alongside high-ranking adventurers to defeat such a big man that the country cannot deal with.
And it was an open secret that a very political will would work in the difference between where to put it.
If you want to gain the protection of the Extinction Moon Party (Moon Eater), you have to make friends with the Holy Kingdom of Diletta (...) Liang (...) Ku (...). Apart from countries like the Kenneth Empire with powerful military capabilities and mountains of ace-class adventurers and servicemen, there are small countries where the question of whether or not a doomsday party (moon eater) will come at times of need becomes a dead and alive issue.
Diletta was using the relationship well for diplomacy.
As far as Star Ring knows, Diletta is pretty passive about putting a doomsday party (moon eater) into Canis these days.
There could also be a complete retreat if further tension were to increase on this.
Not least if the Imperial Army were to be plagued by the "Princess Rose of Grievances", making it harder to move... the greats of Diletta would overlook it with their tongues out in prayer. At least not until the Canis Empire is really in danger.
Clogged, the situation surrounding the Canis Empire worsened.
But neither the rings nor the dragon abyss were ever desperate.
"If so, we will use the Blue Army to discuss the" Princess Rose of Grievance "."
"Even so. As long as we discuss" Princess Rose of Grief ", the suspension will be cleaned up in a chain.
He's definitely going to put a cross spear in the front line fight. You just have to get rid of it.
... people can't get out much, but what if the Blue Army gives them as much money and stuff as they want? "
"My pleasure."
Just the two of you decide.
The same thing if the other person is human, demonic, or undead.
The continent's strongest Kanis Imperial Army builds national prosperity by defeating all its enemies.
The general ability and power of "Princess Rose of Grievances" is analyzed to some extent from leakage audible information.
If they could collect demons around the Ku Lukal Mountains, it would be troublesome, but they would still have minutes for the Blue Army if they were bumped from the front.
If you get caged in dense forest areas or mountains, you may attack them, but if you cut them down from the edges, your enemies will be jilli poor...
- Is that really all?
The star rings, however, even remembered to catch on.
If this is the only way to do it, "Princess Rose of Grief" will know my power difference.
Then why did you imitate the way you jumped into the nostalgia of the Canis Empire?
Dragon Abyss rises from the throne flipping his cloak-like jacket.
"... if you think you can antagonize it, even if it's just a blue army, it's something you've seen cheaply. Or is there an arithmetic...
Let me show you how powerful you are, Princess Rose of Grievances. "
Also, the water sounded deliberately.
