"Apparently the new compartment is complete. Are you already migrating, big fool?

"Yes, my wife Lilina has already moved to this city of Fontana and lives with it. I mean, Dear Carlos, how about it's time you put my calling back?

"You don't know what you're gonna do. If you don't want to be called an idiot, try to behave accordingly."

"Let's remember the liver. So, what happened today? Until I called you all the way to Lyon."

"Oh, I was thinking about the upcoming Fontana. I thought I'd hear your thoughts."

"Coming up, is it?

"That's right. My Fontana won the battle against the Urks in the east and the Arborest in the west, and the range of forces increased. So we need to think about how we're going to move forward."

"Maybe you're going to attack either territory?

"That could happen. Anyway, you're taking over the lead in this fight. That's all Fontana's got."

"Word is, there's been a lot of damage to this one, Master Carlos. Plus there was Gotagota in Fontana territory. Isn't there also an aspect that the number of knights is lower than before?

Oh, thanks to you.

"Haha, I will say that already, Master Carlos. And so Fontana turned into a unified force under Carlos."

"Lion, what do you think?

"Yes. I think it is certainly one proposal to increase the territory. The Urks in the east have lost many knights and soldiers, as well as two immediate children, in two battles last year and this year. Though the Arborest realm is inferior to Urk in its own right to the loss of its soldiers, the current masters and its proximity are being taken over. There seems to be quite a bit of agitation, and I don't think it's likely that even if we take the territory, we'll respond immediately."

"So Lion is in favor of taking the territory."

"Yes, just how do you intend to govern the territory you took, Master Carlos? We are now placing Lord Peacha to the east and Lord Ghana to the west as a repression against each territory, but are we going to leave it to them?

"So you can't?

"We may be able to manage the Urk territory in the east. but the western arborest realm may be difficult"

"Hmm? How come, Lion?

"Dear Ars, have you forgotten what you did?

"What, me? Do I have a cause?

"No, technically, it doesn't mean that Master Ars has a cause, but that our actions"

"Clearly, Lion. What makes western rule so difficult to navigate?

"Yes, that's the sentiment of the residents. Our faction attacked the water fortress Paramere as the army of the Arborest family proceeded from the west. At that time, Paramere was submerged and the demons lurking in Lake Paramere caused damage to the inhabitants. It's almost total annihilation too."

"But you couldn't help that one. You know Leon. Before I submerged him, I told the inhabitants of Paramere to leave the fortress. And yet who didn't leave alone?"

"Right. Because you have a history as a fortress of difficult downfall that has never fallen before. Some residents said there was no safer place to leave than Paramere."

"Right? So I'm having trouble getting this one resented because they did it to Slime."

"But for those living near Lake Paramere, it's not surprising to think that when we attacked the water fortress Paramere, we killed all but one. In that case, even if we cut off the territory as Fontana territory, those living there are likely to disobey."

"I see. In other words, what Lion is trying to say is that it is possible that the inhabitants who live there will not be able to take in the Arborest territory. It is conceivable that that would not result in good territorial governance. This is what this is all about, huh?

"Yes, you're right, Master Carlos"

"I do receive reports from Ghana of similar content. But that's why sometimes we leave the arborest territory untouched. If you're only thinking about the emotions of the residents, you're not gonna get what you get, either, are you?

"Exactly, Master Carlos. So I guess we need to hit some kind of hand"

"Hmm. In this battle, the Urks in the east just repelled. In contrast, the western Arborest realm is cut west by the Barca army to the back. At present, it is easier to say which one belongs to Fontana to the west...... But even if its western territory is cut off, it is difficult to govern. If so, don't be limited in your methods."

"Dear Carlos, I'm not as smart as Lion, but how?

"Force. Something powerful makes the force shine and suppresses it there. Every inhabitant's emotions."

"Ugh...... That's a pretty powerful solution."

"But what it can do is limited on Fontana territory. Do you know who you are, you big fool?

"... Dear Carlos, no way..."

"It's you, Ars von Barca. You will now go to Paramere to comfort your neighbors and create the foundations of governance. This is an order. All right?"

"... Ha, yes, I did"

No, it's not good at all.

Lion drafted the proposal to submerge Paramere, so I don't have to wonder if Lion can go.

But do we have to do more than take orders?

I moved out of my new home and headed west again.
