Lesson 15: That victory is a step toward defeat

Renalier was running.

During the war, Renalier was in command of the barracks in the kingdom of Bulgaron and in the nearest cities within the Lemurian Empire, continuing to send food and arrows under the Elquille on the battlefield.

That elkür would win it back safely this time...

To the arrow tip I thought so, information popped into Renalier's ear that Elquille had been defeated.

Moreover, there was also a variety of information such as Elquille's "dead," "missing," and "unconscious weight," and Renalier had no idea what was happening to Elquille's body.

Besides, it seems the Bulgaron army went on a total attack against the defeated Lemurian army afterwards...

The Lemurian army abandoned most of the cities it had ever occupied and had to retreat.

And about a week after we got the information about the defeat.

The Lemurian army has finally returned to the territory of the Lemurian Empire.

Renalier could not stay or pass, and rode his horse to the camp of the Lemurian army, which had just entered the country.

And now he was just heading for the tent with a small run that Erkür was asleep.

"Your Majesty!!!

Renalier shook off the stillness of the guard soldiers and went into the tent.

So the sight Renalier saw...

"Your Majesty, uh"

"Ahem."

It was Erkühl feeding Carolina apples.

If you look closely, he's stroking Carolina's glutes with his left hand.

Renalier went on the spot.

"Luna, what's up?

Elquille asks, Renalier rises flirtatious......

I walked over to the bottom of Elquille.

"I flirt at times like this... how worried do you think I am!!

"What, you worried about me? There's something cute about it."

That's what Erkühr said, hugging Renalier with his left hand, and pressing his own lips against those lips.

"Beh, I'm not worried about anything"

"That's the opposite of what I was saying."

Erkühl laughed bitterly and let go of Renalier.

Renalier turned that way with a bright red face.

"Is it a false alarm that His Majesty is dying?

"No, that's true"

That's how Erkühr raised his right arm.

Seeing it, Renalier opened his eyes.

From a little above the elbow, the tip is missing.

"If Carolina had been a few moments late in slashing me off, she'd be the feather to go under God before you guys"

"So, it's okay...... is it?

"The wounds are already blocked. The phantom limb pain is also painless because the demon I'm contracting is doing something about it. Well, it's a little inconvenient."

That's what Erkühr said and flaunted his shoulders.

For losing one hand, all you have to do around you is let the servant do it.

"If there's a problem, it looks a little worse, and I can't pull a bow and shoot deer and pigs anymore in the hunt and... I can't rub your breasts with both hands. I'm so sorry to hear that you have two breasts and I can only rub one."

sincerely unfortunately, Erkühr said.

Renalier looked at this with a grudge.

"You look really okay."

"Not now. But it's true you were unconscious, isn't it? I thought I was gonna die for real."

That's what Elquille said and sighed.

I've recovered a lot now, but until a few days ago I had a high fever.

"But now you've finally got a black star on my track record, too. In addition, most of the cities we took back were taken by the Bulgarons, and more than 2,000 soldiers were lost."

Fortunately, there are relatively few casualties among the long-eared (elves).

The long-eared (elves), who tend to work at night, were less likely to be confused.

I'm pretty sure adding up to that would do a lot of damage.

"First of all, as far as infantry is concerned, he's a Tunda soldier, and the cavalry has to be filled with reserves. But you can't take bad military action until this loss is healed. I'm worried about how Farth works. Well, there's Shehrazard, and there's an alliance with the Black Clash, so they won't attack us all of a sudden."

What I lost is huge.

Elquille said depressingly.

"What do you do with a bull gallon? Reconcile?

When Renalier asked, Elquille shook her neck to the side.

"No way, now if I freak out and make peace, it'll be the pot the bull gallon thinks"

And...

Erkühr slammed his left hand hard on the bed.

Carolina and Lunarier unwittingly turn themselves away.

"Break it instantly and ambush while applying for a truce and putting it down. Pursuit by the Great Army so that we didn't aim any further. I'm really angry..."

Elquille said in a voice that included anger.

"Somewhat, if it's enough to plunder... well, let's forgive him. But you took my precious right hand. This price is high, Bulgaron... and Alicia Chrome"

Erkühr muttered the name of the woman who took her right arm.

"Oh, good. I'll do it thoroughly. I will not accept applications from Bulgarons for harmony other than full surrender anymore. I will destroy you thoroughly and conquer you. Short-term showdown is over. Moving on to a long fight. Watch now, Bulgaron..."

Elquille grins more brutally than I've ever seen before and emits killing intentions and anger.

Carolina and Renalier shook their bodies unexpectedly and hugged each other.

"That's Alicia Chrome. Thanks to you I was able to reverse it... it's really comforting that you're my son's fiancée"

"Thank you, my king"

Alicia knelt before King Bulgaron and received compliments from the king.

Telerig sees the look on his bitter face.

"Telerig, your Lord also says you will apprentice Alicia"

"Yes... Father"

Telerig gave him a remorseful look.

This time, without Alicia's activism, the Bulgaron kingdom would have been deprived of many cities by the Lemurian Empire and feathers linking humiliating harmony.

In that case, the fame of the Kotormia family falls to the earth.

The Kotormian family, and Telelig, were saved by Alicia.

But Telerig was honestly not happy with Alicia's work.

I am grateful to Alicia and to celebrate her great victory, but at the same time I was strongly jealous of her military talent and accomplishments.

"Ha! I feel really good!! Now Lemuria will give up and withdraw too."

If you want to apply for harmony from there, you can take it.

King Bulgaron thought so.

Regardless, I intend to demand payment of the contribution.

Under King Bulgaron laughing delightfully...

The minister in charge of diplomacy jumped in.

"King, we have received a protégé from Emperor Lemuria!

"Hmm, an offer of harmony?"

King Bulgaron receives his protégé with a happy face.

Then break the seal and check inside.

There...

"Dear dogs,

Apparently, both Bulgaron barbarians and no dogs can even do the least they can to keep their promises.

Therefore, from now on, we will make an ultimatum in the name of Elkür I, Emperor of the Lemurian Empire, the deputy of God on earth.

Surrender fully within a week.

Otherwise the Bulgaron kingdom will disappear from the top of the map '

Unexpectedly King Bulgaron slammed his protégé to the floor.

"Who's the dog!!

For the Bulgarians, "dog bastard" is the biggest insult.

And this is how Elquille wrote, knowing it.

"Yes!! What harmony, I will never!! A total war!!!

King Bulgaron declared so.

"Hey, do you mind? Sire."

Erkühl repeated without anger at the bureaucrats who had accidentally listened back.

"No problem. Evacuate all residents of villages and cities included in the area."

Erkühr ordered the line of defense to be lowered against the bull gallon.

It declared the total renunciation of all villages and cities, near the border with the Kingdom of Bulgarons.

On top of that...

"Use the residents who evicted them to build fortresses and surveillance towers. Seal off all the streets leading up to the Bulgaron Kingdom. And near that fortress, they colonize a large number of Tundan soldiers. Worst of all, I don't mind kicking out the residents I currently live in"

Complete blockade of the border between the Kingdom of Bulgaron and the Lemurian Empire.

That was what Elquille ordered the bureaucrats to do.

"And notify all merchants... whoever did business with the Bulgarians is under sentence of death. It is also strictly forbidden for the Lemurians to go to the Bulgaron Kingdom without permission"

Furthermore, Erkühl called Todoris and ordered him to exert diplomatic pressure on the Kingdom of Bulgarons and the small tribal states adjacent to him to stop his business dealings with the Kingdom of Bulgarons.

Regardless, I promise to give aid - candy - in return for suspending commerce, because I don't think whipping alone will stop commerce.

After finishing giving the order as one, Erkühl laughed invincibly.

"You guys can't live without a deal with the farmers. And only my country can make a massive deal with you guys. Well, how many years do you have?
