It is a large room among the countless rooms of the Borderline Prefecture.
Sitting in the center of the room is a large circular table. Sitting in a chair lined up around it are the heavy towns of the Borderline Army and the two royal nobles.... and just me.
"Are we all set? Then we shall have a meeting.... I'm glad, Your Highness Konrat?
"Oh, here we go, Medes Borderline Uncle"
The voice of the borderline uncle and the conlat echoing in the conference room. From now on, we shall be discussing the future policy in the Members aligned here.
"Hmm, first of all, chief of the knights, how is the kingdom of Magna moving?
"Ha! Defeat of the advance army that the enemy did not anticipate. Also, the flag of His Highness the Konrat. These influences are enormous and the Kingdom of Magna appears to be upset. The enemy army is also slowing down."
The head of the Knights of Weltechs replies to the inquiry of Borderline Uncle Haki.
"Right...... So we got a temporary respite."
"Yes. Then the Horsemen's reinforcements also headed towards Libra, each of them out of their own territory. Probably rushing faster than the enemy army."
"Hmm, that's good news too"
The surrounding martial officers who were listening to the exchange between Uncle Borderline and the Knights also nod at each other.
The air in the room is much brighter than in the previous chamber.
But that's troublesome. If people get stuck in a predicament, people will join forces whether they like it or not, but once they can afford it...
"Now, until the armies of the Hordes arrive... Let's do what we can by then. Knight Commander!"
"Ha!"
"What do we have to do until the Horsemen arrive?
"... right. If you count the scouts to capture the movement of the Magna Army, secure munitions, strengthen the walls of the Libra, etc., there will be no cutting."
The Knights Commander will be counting the fingerfolds. Uncle Borderline opened his mouth when he took control of the Knight Commander, who tried to recruit him.
"Enough is enough. Leave all those differences to the Knights Commander. On my behalf, I entrust the full powers of the Knights and all mercenaries. Encourage it."
"Ha!"
A third-party cross spear enters a story that is pale only between the two borderline uncles and the Knights Commander.
"So much work, the Knights Leader alone will be in hand. Why don't I help you?"
"... His Highness the Konrat. No, no, I don't even have to annoy His Highness's hand. Your Highness, Don and Tata, wait for the time of battle."
"Don't say that, Borderline Uncle. I'm not just a decorator, either. I'll let you take charge of one end of the military. Don't hesitate."
Konrat and Borderline Uncle discuss each other without breaking their gleeful expressions.
But those eyes aren't laughing.
Yes, I mean, this is the thing.
What started as soon as I started to afford it was a lead fight within my peers.
For Uncle Borderline, the Konrat is just a thing. I don't want you to waste your time. I want you to stand still.
And naturally, Konrat is just not willing to spoil it for decorations.
If there's a gap, I want to take real power within the military. Even if that is not possible, there is a desire to strengthen influence within the military at all.
Of course it is the Medez Borderline uncle who has the advantage in this fight for leadership.
Anyway, Konrat is just a habitat. There is no power of its own, no influence within the military, etc.
The only exception is the Fine Mercenary Regiment, but where we have a mercenary regiment, its power is insignificant.
In the first place, even the sources of funding to hire the mercenaries in that mercenary regiment, if you correct them, belong to Uncle Medes Border.
Exactly, like being grabbed by the root.
Well, from Uncle Neighbourhood, I suppose you should be quiet.
Most importantly, Konrat has no desire to spoil decorations.
Whether you get the throne as an ornament or not just a puppet regime…, you have to shy away from the kingdom of Arulnia, pulling something off the border uncle.
That is politically painful, near fatal.
In the first place, would there be a subordinate in the kingdom of Magna who would like to deduce a king with such weaknesses in such a neighbouring country?
It is not strange to think that the usurper is better enough to hold such a king to his throne.
Besides, even ignoring such a political issue, Konrat wants to beat his brother on his own.
It is therefore unacceptable to him to be you.
In other words, the clash between the two is inevitable. No definitive crack has yet occurred, but it is not far away.
But that doesn't taste good. The Konrat really needs the help of the Medes Border Uncle, no, the financial resources that Reebra generates.
Yes, I need money first, rather than collaborators, my own legions, etc.
How could you? Lord, don't you understand the importance of money?... It's not like I'm the money-keeper.
The first one is gold. That's the same in war.
You may have said before that battles are numbered, etc.
Let's correct it. War is money, brother.
Let's turn our attention to Nobunaga Oda, a great man in Japanese history.
Initially, Nobunaga was just a small name in one country.
Compared to other great names, they did not have a vast territory, nor could they have followed an overwhelming number of legions.
Rather, Ozhang was known as a weak soldier.
What was the driving force that led Nobunaga to leap from Kodai?
His genius not to be imprisoned by common sense? The presence of good men? There could be that, too.
But the biggest factor is gold.
Indeed, Nobunaga did not have a vast territory or an overwhelming legion.
But he had only one thing that the other great names envied. That is the financial power of the merchants who supported him.
Tsushima and Hota merchants rooted in his dominant region, their cooperation was a major driver behind Nobunaga's leap forward.
I want you to think about it. An army is a large, unproductive group that just consumes.
What is needed to keep them? - Yes, it's huge gold.
Using its underlying power as a backbone, Nobunaga made the leap from small to great.
Nobunaga later adopted a policy of 'Rakuma Rakuza', which was extremely enlightened at the time, also because he must have well understood the importance of gold in war.
The same thing has happened since Nobunaga took control of Kichinai and became a great name.
With the help of a new Sakai merchant, he tried to keep fighting even in a situation full of surrounding enemies, the Nobunaga siege net, without running out of breath.
That, and this, is still the power of gold.
Gold, gold, gold. Anyway, war has money.
And so on, well, I apologize for the prolonged lecture. Let's conclude.
- The world is gold, after all.
Um, I mean, the Medez Border Uncle is a tattoo above our eyes for us.
However, the cooperation of the Libra merchants he governs is essential….
What a bother. I don't see a hitter, and I can't move with this.
What's going on here?
... I just mentioned, you don't accept the two facts, do you?
Then I should change one of them......?
But I can't bend the fact that I have money.
Then it is up to Uncle Medes to do something about it. If only Uncle Borderline wasn't an obstacle to us.
But how? Changing the mind of a borderline uncle...... or something?
Yes, be more cooperative with the contort...... Yeah, it's impossible.
If we can do that, all mankind can be brothers.
Think, think, think.
What about jumping over the border uncle and entering into a direct cooperative relationship with the merchants?
... Can we offer the merchants enough benefits to make them betray their lords?
That doesn't make sense.
Um, I can't think of a name.
For some reason, the end of the story catches. My head is on the left of the boiler.
What are we gonna do, this situation?
... If you can't come up with a name, let's sort out the situation again.
So I see something...... I hope.
First of all, the Medes Border Uncle is out of the way, out of the way, out of the way.
But the power of the merchants under the influence of those who stand in the way is essential.
How do I unlock this challenge?
Separate the merchants from the borderline uncle, and under our influence?... I can't be gay.
To make the Reebra merchants obey, the Medes Borderline House, whose power has long reigned over Reebra, is at all costs.
Why do you think the merchants follow you?
Yes, the power of the Medes Borderline Uncle family really... yeah? Medes Borderline Uncle...... home?
Yeah? Wait, wait... organize, organize.
Out of the way is the Medes Border Uncle individual.
What the Reebra merchants say to the Lord is the Medes Borderline Uncle House.
What you will need is the power of the Medes Border House. Medes Borderline Uncle Not an individual.
And, in love with a young hero, the Mistress of the Medes Border House......
... What, isn't the answer simple and clear? What was bothering you so much?
Yeah, if we get rid of just one piece, it's all going to turn well.
I accidentally distorted my mouth to that suddenly flashing proposal.
