"All right, let's just say it's a good idea to think about the Sacred Capital site and its surroundings as a first candidate. But I guess the problem will follow. Even if we attack well and get the land, there's a distance over there. From the kingdom of Fontana it becomes an enclave."

"Right, Master Ars. It may be a question of how we are going to govern illegally zoned land, but everything around us may become hostile. but there are people who can be allies."

"On your side? Where is it going to be?

"It's the Kingdom of Risorte. To the old. Kyle and former Gizanian territory are relatively close to the Kingdom of Risorte. So if you keep in touch with me in advance, I think you can explore a coordinated route."

"You're an artist who can do this because Rion has connections to the Kingdom of Risorte. But can we go? Aren't you hoping to expand the land even for the Kingdom of Risorte?

"Perhaps, but this proposal would be acceptable. The sites of the Wang and Sacred Capitals are within the power of the Reinzatz family. Even for the Kingdom of Risorte, it is easier to have other friendly third forces between them, because the border line is more stable than there is frequent strife over it with its own territory. More importantly, you don't need a place called Death Land."

"Finally, is it going to mean that having lead territory on land we don't need will serve us better as a buffer zone? So, in the meantime, you're saying we'll take the land we can take elsewhere, right?

"Yeah. Let's wrap up the negotiations well so you can think about it."

"But what happens to the others? Many of the nobles between the kingdom of Fontana and the Holy Capital, including the Rheinzatz family, would be consigned as the Grand Aristocratic Alliance and the Northern Noble Alliance. Even if Kyle gets the land, he probably won't have it if he gets a concentrated attack from there."

Perhaps there is no other place just right for the Reed family to target.

I think Kyle is going to lead the army to take the holy capital site, Naja's controlled land, etc.

But there were some tough conditions nonetheless.

Subsequent governance is important, as well as relations with the surrounding forces.

Anyway, the territory is not connected to the Kingdom of Fontana.

Lion, who suggested that, would also be well aware of that.

We need to make sure we know exactly what we're going to do.

Lyon is my wife's blood-connected brother with Lilina, but now she's in a position to rule the Kingdom of Fontana on behalf of Garrod, the king.

Because I thought you were saying that you thought it would be most profitable for Fontana, not simply a suggestion for Kyle.

"Exactly, that great alliance of aristocrats has something to do with it, Master Ars. Since the demise of the Holy City, the Church has assembled and rebuilt the powerful in the Kingdom of Fontana. And he says from the noble realm that issues a restraining order against war to pulling up the priests"

"Right. I made the flow so that this one would be."

"Yeah. And naturally, many nobles are revolting against it. The Grand Aristocratic Alliance and others, mainly the Rheinzatz family, should probably be launching an offensive against the Kingdom of Fontana if they come in next year. So I want to get ahead of you there. I'd like to put a wedge in the south while I can."

"Doesn't that mean I'm going to sacrifice the Reed family physically, Lion? If Kyle keeps the land south of the Wang capital, he will indeed be able to intercept the Great Alliance of Nobles from the North and the South. The country may be less at risk of being unilaterally attacked, but the burden on Kyle will be less than halfway through."

"But if Kyle goes south, some people will work hard to help with that, won't they?

Oh, I see.

Is that what you're going to do, Lion?

I'm sure this guy wants to pull me out on the battlefield.

I know I'll move to lend a hand if Kyle gets a tough piece of land to the south, and I'm in such a looming danger.

I mean, if Kyle gets the territory, it's like I'm certain I'm going south.

Perhaps this is a return of interest to Lion.

Originally, Rion was a person in a position to stop when Garrod took the liberty of saying he was "free to cut" on Kyle's territorial issue.

Kyle has previously belonged to the Fontana Army and has been active on the battlefield many times about his general position.

And more importantly, they have a high level of competence in territorial management.

The king, who should be able to be master over such a person, said freedom of cut.

If you look at it the way you wear it, you can say Kyle's reward is the equivalent of pushing the Fontana Royal Family away to get it yourself.

Even if Garrod didn't feel that way, some would think so.

Probably didn't think Garrod would suddenly mention that to Lion either.

But in front of Charlotte, whose king, Garrod, is the princess of another country, it's hard to make them pull in what they once said, even though they didn't make sense.

Therefore, I presented an idea that I had come up with.

In conjunction with Kyle's territorial problems, he twisted the idea of two birds with one stone to make me work.

To throw out all the trouble and quit my position as Chancellor and Grand General, to work me trying to hide by pushing everything against Lion.

for the effective use of human resources as a preparation for the battle that will take place after next year.

"Kyle is admired by people. I'm sure a lot of people can help. Of course, I'll give you a hand with a slight force, too. How about Kyle? What do you think of the story of targeting around the Sacred Capital site?

"Thank you, Brother Ars. I'll be fine. I'll do my best."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Well, whatever Lion's thoughts are, I'm going to get on with them.

Kyle got married because of this, so let's just assume that the struggles of the Territories are a substitute for celebration.

As a brother, I wouldn't mind doing it if I broke some bones.

Thus, the Kyle-centered Reed family began to move to save the lawless land where order had been lost.
