○ Dragon Royal Palace
The story Souran had heard from Queen Savannah was worth the consternation.
The Demon King said he gave up saving all his people and pursued a policy that cost even himself.
"So, but there's a lot of damage to both sides if the war starts.... I was wondering if that would leave a grudge on the next generation"
"Right. The Demon King threw it all over us."
…………
The Queen said she realized the Demon King's intentions early on and considered some countermeasures.
One is that he secretly stopped the plot. I did not tell Souran the details about this.
The other was to promote the Demon Nation as the bad guy and try to get rid of the anti-dragon country sentiment at all.
"If a soldier dies, we'll buy the grudges of his friends, lovers and family."
"I think that's natural."
Though it is not strange what happened on the battlefield which is killed, it is more impossible to say not to hold a grudge against that family.
"That's why I tried not to."
If the goal of the demonic kingdom is to drain the soldiers of both countries, the dragon kingdom will stop it... that is, you just have to move to avoid damaging the lives of the soldiers as much as possible.
Of course, if I do too much, they will notice my intentions and adopt another measure, so I will be on my way.
"Did that happen?"
Souran was just amazed at the war against the demonic kingdom that had taken place over the past year or two, and at the rush behind it.
But Souran thinks.
I was wondering what it would be like to throw that post-war treatment round. What does the Demon King think?
"Speaking of which," the queen said, seeing the look on Souran's face.
"Have you heard the end of the town of Sourel?
"Yes. Ultimately, you decided the female male by siege."
"It's a satellite city in the town of Urs, so a lot of dragons have been put in. Thanks to this, the urban function itself didn't seem so damaging."
However, the Queen said many lives have been lost.
"Was that also an instruction from the Demon King?"
"Right. Looks like General Aylan actually worked out the operation."
"Ellen Heydon... General of the North, the Heavy Town of the Devil Nation."
"Yes. That stubborn old man took command, so Lithwarn had to turn to the back, too. But that old general, he only followed up after the fact, so I guess it's still better."
An operation carried out by Elaan, who has tormented Lithwarn, lord of the town of Urs, for many years.
He attacked the surrounding villages and others first and took someone he knew hostage to fall the town of Sourel.
It is also humanitarian, but only Eraan, who directed the operation, will wear the notoriety.
Those who were obeyed had no choice but to be taken hostage.
That was not just the people of the Dragon Nation.
In fact, General Elaan's army also had a large number of civilians.
They were also treated badly as being thrown away stones.
Leaving aside why that general was such a... what plagued Lithwarn, who took back the town of Sourel, it was...
"It wasn't just the people of the dragon kingdom who were liberated. Many civilians have evacuated every town in the Devil's Country."
Inevitably, civilians in other countries are worthless.
It is a common practice to have a few days' worth of food and let it cross borders.
But not this time.
First of all, the gathered are from various towns and villages of the demonic kingdom, and there is no place in the demonic kingdom anymore.
Many towns are deserted by the movement of the path of the Yin Moon in the first place.
And they were treated like stone throwers by the general.
I had plenty of sympathy.
Moreover.
They had also taken acquaintances, companions, and families hostage, as had the people of the dragon kingdom, and were forced to march reluctantly, and were driven out into battle.
In addition to being unhappy enough, there is room for sympathy. Furthermore, the victims of the war meant that they had no will left to return to the demonic kingdom.
No matter how much food and water we give here and banish them, they all die.
Just because you don't die in front of me doesn't change the outcome.
Exactly. Lithwarn couldn't release the Demon Nation's civilians.
Sometimes the inhabitants of surrounding villages, caught and treated similarly by the Devil's Army, were feeling sympathetic to them.
In the end, a report has arrived in Wang Capital to the effect that it will take on all civilians.
"I can't believe that... that was happening"
Again, even on this matter, Souran knew nothing about the thoughts behind it.
Individual soldiers cannot think and move in the Dragon Nation soldier who is in the mood to fight as they are told. Nevertheless, it is still an event that makes me think a lot about it.
"So is the town of Hollis, but not so many people have died because of the devil king's unthinking. Instead, next year… no, maybe after next year, we'll definitely run out of food."
In that case, strife would erupt after depriving each other of a small amount of food, and those who were powerless to fight would starve to death. Yes, the queen closed.
"I hope you manage to defeat just the dominant species. And there's the future."
The wider the dominant area of the Moon Warcraft, the more mankind will be invaded and cornered.
Soon the queen looked serious and said so.
Souran drowned his head deeply, silently.
