Skeleton Knight, in Another World
Ark's Intrigue 2
But what I disagreed with without getting my hair in there was Nina, who turned her Rin face into an angry look.
"Stupid! It's an army of 100,000 undead that's surrounding the king's capital right now!? I can't accept such things as bringing Princess Lil back to that place!!
It was a protest in a voice trembling with anger, but the upset ran to the people around her about what she had emitted.
That's the same for myself, Arian, Chiyome, etc., roaring at too many enemies.
"Hmm, I didn't know the immortals (undead) attacking Wang Du were such a huge number..."
I knew that the King's capital had been attacked by an army of immortals (undead), but it was completely unexpected that so many immortals (undead) were pushing against the King's capital.
Even Count Dimo and the servants around him didn't hear that specific number, and his behavior is suspicious with a much upset look.
"Hey, ho, is that true? Can it be real, like 100,000 immortals (undead)...?
The Count Dimo turns his eyes to the two escort knights and to those of the Kingsguards whom they have led, causing him to wander about looking for answers.
Zahar, Nina and the close guards lay down their faces slightly to avoid such gaze.
Apparently, there's no reason for Nina to exaggerate the words she just unleashed.
"Ya still can't go...?
Princess Lil, who was hiding behind herself, looked up at this side in such a fearful manner and asked in response to the kind of push-kill around her.
(If a legion of 100,000 Immortals (undead) attacked by boulders, wouldn't they have some kind of fence?
Princess Lil raised a voice of objection to Arian, who stood beside her and listened to her, when she perceived with sensitivity what she had whispered.
"Father can't lose early! I'm sure you two brothers will believe in bringing reinforcements back, and you will endure them in the king's capital!!
I looked back at Princess Lil's words when I found something of concern.
"Lord Lil has two older brothers? Are those two on their way to this reinforcement request, too?
To her own question, she nods loudly and returns.
"Bye! If you join your brothers' reinforcements, these monsters...!
That's what she says. She shakes her little fist up and theorizes.
If the reinforcements that the two brothers are going to bring are going to be able to get as many as they can with 100,000 large armies, it's going to take a lot of time to prepare them.
Then this one will head to Wang Du as soon as possible, and if we concentrate on reducing the number of undead at all and slowing the fall of Wang Du...
Depending on the size of the city, it should be large enough to accommodate a significant number of people if it becomes the Wang Capital.
Even an army of immortals (undead) consisting of 100,000 people in such a city would surely not be able to impose a strong siege.
Break the thin siege net and once you can enter the Wang Dynasty and bring it from the inside into a lasting battle, there is plenty of chance.
I think so and see my usual companions beside me.
Arian of the Dark Elves, who specializes in spiritual magic and excels in sword skills.
Chiyome is also one of the six ninjas of the Blade Heart clan, which uses spiritual magic as a ninja technique.
Powerful thrust, enough strength to rush through a thousand miles, in this world, the purple power of a disease-ridden dragon (drift pus) like a heavy armored car.
And then there's the besides eater ponta.
I've never honestly experienced how much of a protracted battle there is across the fence, but with all this face, I'm sure I won't be behind any sooner.
Turning his gaze to each of them, Arian looks like he's given up somehow, Chiyome nods back forcefully, and it's unclear what Purple Electricity is thinking.
Ponta must be thinking about the next meal, as usual.
"Then it's settled, let's head directly to the King's Capital of the Kingdom of Northern"
To that statement, everyone, starting with Princess Lil, turns this way with a surprise face.
"Wait, wait! Before heading to the Wang capital, the wolves must go around and gather reinforcements!
Princess Lil, who had previously been hiding behind Zahar's back to escape, pops up like a panic and tells herself once and for all about the operation she had planned.
But I blocked her words by shaking her neck to the side.
"Lord Lil, I do not know how much the patronage of the King's capital is. But I can see that Lord Lil is persecuting me to the extent that I have to pull reinforcements from elsewhere until I take this risk. I'm not sure how many reinforcements the two older brothers can bring back, but it takes some time to organize them as well. Then I thought we needed to lead only the least amount of fast paced soldiers back to the King's Capital and make time for the King's Capital not to fall until reinforcements arrive.
To her own words, Princess Lil blinked several times, then tried to indulge in what was spoken, then nodded back small.
"... Sure, it is! Even if you can lead reinforcements, if the king's capital falls...!
It was Zahar, the head of the escort knight, who hastily pinned his mouth to the words of Princess Lil, who recruits him that way.
"Wait, Master Lil! Just be instantly brushed up by 100,000 enemies such as a handful of plays from the outside! If we are to buy time, we need to break a thin part of the siege of the king's capital and enter the king's city, but still no reinforcements come - no, what happens if we delay!
Princess Lil bared slightly at Zahar's loud voice and swallowed her voice.
I turn my gaze to Princess Lil, who looks up this way, from the back of her helmet myself.
"It's up to Lord Lil to do what he does. By the way, as you already know, the three of us here, including myself, are quite proud to say that we're going to be able to arm ourselves, and everyone's going to work for a hundred soldiers, right?
Taking that word of her own, Princess Lil was nodding back with a serious look whether she remembered the fight with the Spider-Man earlier.
Meanwhile, swordswallowing signs leak out of the Kingsguards, Princess Lil's escort who was around, and are also directed at Arian, who looks annoying on this side and beside him, and Chiyome with a clear face.
If I tried it on them, they would have taken it as an insult.
But that could be a good opportunity.
The fact that we stand here as elves demonstrates our strength around us should also serve as a disincentive to future people against the elves and others.
Besides, if they were undead, they could probably be wiped out if they used that number for about 10,000.
It'll be a bump production, but it's not the kind of skill you can try and shoot at a boulder.
Then the best way to try it is to use it in this situation.
"Lord Lil."
"Master Lil!
Princess Lil, who was asked to respond by herself and Zahar, handed out her gaze to the left and right for a little while, but eventually opened her mouth with her chest open on the spot as she had decided to.
"The wolf is headed to the king's capital! Zahar, Nina! This is a decision! There's no way the Northern kingdoms and other neighboring countries will leave the Northern kingdoms alone after losing the heart of the Northern kingdoms!
"... Ha!" "Huh!
To her words of determination, the two escort knights, Zahar and Nina, chewed their lower lips and knelt on the spot.
A gaze that exposes the anger of both of them is poured out in this direction without further ado.
If we try them, the leftovers who burned the young princess to death - no, the Elves, the Beasts, etc. are likely to be seen as being to be spit on in this land where the doctrine of Hilkism is deeply rooted.
I don't feel that I have deepened the gulf between the races a bit, but at this time, I have no choice.
Besides, I intend to avoid using metamagic in front of people as much as I can, but if I have to, I intend to let Princess Lil and the others get away with it.
It was in the form of using her, so there are many obstacles in me if I don't at least give her a guarantee.
Especially if you feel the golden-eyed jito eye sticking straight up your back from earlier.
"Kiyun?
Ponta leans her neck into the subtle air she was born between herself and Ariane.
In so doing, Princess Lille turned her gaze in turn to Count Dimo and the others as she looked around at her own escort knight who knelt down and the Kingsguards who withheld behind her back.
"And Count Dimo!
"... Ha, yes!
"As fast as I can get it ready right now - yes, get a horseback squad ready! Can't you be wrong that the Lord, the Count of the Kingdom, will return to the King's capital without sending any escorts!?
When Princess Lil proclaims so with dignity, silent pressure is also directed against the Count from the escort knights and close guards who have given their consent to the word.
I'm still royal, even if I'm small.
If he, the aristocratic count of the kingdom, were to have sent out without a single soldier on Princess Lille's road, it would be a problem that might later be said to be rebellious.
Without a country, they wouldn't say that, but in case the Northern kingdom survives this national disaster, he will undoubtedly be pursued by the seat of the Earl.
So she made further concessions and allowed the escort to be formed solely by the fast-paced horseback riding squad.
There shouldn't be that many horseback riding units available right now.
It would be quite a loss if we lost the whole thing because it's a horseback riding squad, but in case you think it's insurance against being stripped of the Earl's seat, it's not expensive - something like that.
"Ha, ha, I'm in awe. We'll get you ready in no time! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Lost in Princess Lille's temper, Count Dimo rushes out to the mansion as he rolls, running to the formation of the said horseback riding unit.
"... can I count on you?
Princess Lil, who had dropped off his back like that, asked this way in a voice about whether she could hear or not around.
Some unspeakable guilt springs up in her anxiety-shaking grey eyes.
It's hard to say this word to Princess Lil on this occasion, but she's a little girl, but she carries the country.
Then this person must get along with it accordingly.
"Well, it's quick and bad, but I'm going to talk about the reward."
I could see the nervousness running over Princess Lil's expression in that word on this side.
I feel like a bad uncle who cheats on a young girl, but I have to charge you for anything I can.
"Well, you did. How much do you want with the escort on the road?
I guess I'm trying to respond without showing my own impatience, I've looked up to this one with desperation and restraint of my wielding hand, but perseverance.
But I'm not going to ask for money in this case.
"First of all, we can only reward you for success. And the first thing I want you to do is give me a tour of the treasure trove that is in the king's capital after the liberation of the king's capital."
Princess Lil, who stood at the forehead of the demand, and the escort knights who had refrained behind her, tilted their necks in surprise after rounding their eyes to the content of the reward offered by this one.
"It's not a treasure (offal) in the treasure trove in Soulia, the king's capital, but a tour in the treasure trove... isn't that all you need?
I nodded and answered the question Princess Lil would ask to make sure every word of it.
"Um, let me do a little digging in the treasure trove, that's fine."
In his own words, Chiyome nodded sideways.
"All right, then, let's give them access to the treasure trove in the name of the woes!... So what's the second one?
Princess Lil, who gave permission to enter the treasure trove, has urged this side to include the following demands:
There seems to be no inappropriate attention to the fact that the boulder was first lightly demanded and said "first."
Nina, the escort knight in the back, must have missed hearing when she saw her face, who was obviously relieved to hear what the reward was.
"Secondly, I wish to assure you of the full liberation of the Elves and the Beasts who are imprisoned in the Northern Kingdom and of the future harsh punishment for their captivity"
It was the two escort knights and Arian and Chiyome who were behind this demand that gave a surprising look.
Speaking of Princess Lil at the time she stuck her demands, she repeatedly grumbled to chew one person on the content of that request with a suspicious face.
Eventually Princess Lil, who nodded one and raised her face, said the answer with a full grin.
"Of course the liberated will take it on you, right? That would be problematic."
"Please wait! Princess Lil!!
It was Nina who raised her voice to the words of Princess Lil, who spoke so much of an answer, trying to interrupt.
"The response to that request goes beyond what Princess Lil can personally promise!
To her words, Princess Lil leaned her neck wonderfully to show.
"Why not? Lord Ark and the others are demanding the surrender of the Elves and the Beasts? Given the importance of the country, it would be more accommodating to make this kind of decision."
"No, Princess! What this man is saying is that the throne of the country... is a slave!
Somehow the conversation between the two doesn't seem to be meshing subtly.
"Slaves? Surely slaves aren't just slaves such as debt slaves, prisoner slaves, and then wartime prisoners?
To Princess Lil's inquiry, Nina mumbles slightly frightened.
I was able to glimpse the situation from the interaction between the two of them.
"Is it good to assume that there are no slaves of our Elves or of our friend the Beasts in your country?
To her own words, Nina bites her teeth without saying anything.
Perhaps it appeared to Princess Lille and hid the existence of slaves of the Elves and Beasts.
It may also be an implicit understanding that does not publicize the possession of the Elves and Beasts, either from the influence of the Hilk nation, a main mountain preaching doctrines that do not give good thought to the existence of the Elves and Beasts in neighbouring countries.
It is a force that purposefully brings temple knights from neighboring countries to hunt beasts, who would be asked to give them a confession on the grounds of doctrine if their possession were manifestly revealed.
And it's the difference in force between states that can't even object to their behavior.
"What do you mean? My country, like the Kingdom of Rhoden, was taught not to own the slaves of the Elves, nor to own the slaves of the Beasts!
Princess Lil looked slightly panicked and turned to compare both this side and Nina.
Attach cooperation between the Elves and the Beasts, subject to the liberation of slaves that are not officially considered to exist.
If the ostensible view remains true, this time the condition will not be any itch for the Kingdom of Northern, but if this condition is drank and the Crown owns the slave, the Crown must forfeit the slave owned by individuals from all over the country with power, or buy it up and offer it to this side.
I don't know how many slaves you can hide and own in the Hilk country, but I guess from Nina's reaction there's never a smaller number of slaves behind you.
However, the failure to acknowledge the apparent ownership suggests that the treatment of the slaves in the King's Capital who entered Cage Castle has entered a very dangerous situation.
Food and water, which are stockpiles, are the most important concerns in Cage Castle.
I don't know how many people Wang Du has, but if they are to be eaten in stockpiles, there is a need to keep consumption as low as possible, but the lowest privileged people eat at that time.
It would be the slaves of the Elves and Beasts who are supposedly non-existent here.
The Elves, who are mainly bought at high prices for purposes in love and offspring formation, are still the most truncated species, the Beasts, who are cheaply bought as a workforce utilizing their high physical abilities.
This didn't seem like there was much room for this one to spend negotiating either, and I turned once again to the young Princess Lil in front of me and the two guard knights who would remain silent.
At this time, I want to show some concessions and take them to the conclusion of the terms promptly.
"Hmm, if the Kingdom of Northern says it does not approve of the slave ownership of the Elves and Beasts, I want you to maintain that policy in the future. But there are those who cannot reach any country, are there?
Princess Lil and the others intertwine their gaze at each other as to whether the intent of this side of the story somehow came with conjecture.
And it was Princess Lil who opened her mouth to carry on her own words.
"Finally, should we confiscate the slaves and hand them over to them from those who own those slaves against our national policy?
Good guess for boulders.
This policy makes it easier for the royal family to collect slaves from the ruling nobility.
Later, the royal family needs to lend a little help to inform other nobles and others that their judgment is correct.
Otherwise, it makes no sense for the nobles to resort to conspiracy against the royal judgment and the country to crumble.
When I nodded loudly back at her answer, I offered her my right hand and asked her to shake it.
Princess Lil gives her own little hand back to the hand that this one has offered her so forcefully.
Behind her, two escort knights looked up to heaven and held their heads.
We'll have to hustle and hustle a little more to make sure this promise is fulfilled and that she was right.
With that in mind, I deepen my grin behind my helmet.
The little princess in front of her sensibly guessed it, shaking her shoulder small once.
