The Branded Female Fencer
In the Land of the Beastman, Part 9 - Bold Proposals
"These are the emergence points of the Demon King. The black dot is where the Demon King was confirmed, and the red is where the crusade was confirmed. Around now, the land is an undeveloped area called the Great Forest of the South, but the main force of our army is deployed here. Regularly crusading demons meant that the neighborhood would start to suffer damage and training recruits, but I can't even say that.
The beginning of the incident stems from the fact that two years ago, there was unusual damage to the legions deployed in the Great Forest. The unidentified demon came under attack, obeying the so-called dark families, such as oaks and goblins. At that time, he repelled with about a dozen damages, but he will encounter many more occasions when a new species of demons can follow other demons. We discussed them as the so-called Demon Kings, but they appear too often. Besides, there were many bizarre individuals whose shapes had never been seen before. That's when this Amur reported on the current state of the human world. The same thing is happening in other lands. "
"The discovery of the Demon King actually goes beyond the eastern world alone. The area inhabited by the beasts, and the area inhabited by the barbarians of the south, and the area disturbed by the small countries of the west. Even the eastern continent has confirmed its emergence. I don't know about the isolated plateau on the other side of Pilebos, north."
"Hmm, that's an interesting story"
Kazas roared. That wasn't an irrelevant story, either, as Kazas, or, rather, because it was as much about what I wanted to talk to you about.
Dryan continues.
"As for us Groussardos, I thought the emergence of the Demon King itself would be fine. Recently, there has been a tense battle. I thought it would be a good training for the recruits, and the fact is the soldiers are happy with their battle-worthy enemies. But too often demon kings appear. Gradually, our army is distracted by the battle of demon kings opponents, and it is the status quo that prevents other military operations. The problem is that there are very few people in Gruzaldo who have an eye for that fact."
"That's the thing. After all, there are a lot of beasts who are somewhere out of their minds. You think there's a lot of blood? No matter how many demon kings they drive, I feel that instead of decreasing their numbers, they continue to increase, and their strength is also increasing. How many people on this front, which lasts two years, are aware of the dangers that are currently sending half of the beast generals?
The kingdoms of the Beasts are now the allies of Gruzaldo, but if there are still gaps, there are still countries that try to replace us. And no matter how strong King Dreyan is, he is one. I can't counter a multifaceted operation.
We have a beast general that keeps us in equilibrium with the nations, but Groussard is a country that is still difficult to navigate, even though it is a military power. It sounds good when it comes to sleeping lions. "
"I see. I understand very well why Gruzaldo did not make an invasion of the Middle Plains on the border with Krums. There are always worrying enemies at the rear gate."
"That's what I'm talking about"
Dryan said to lean against it. Apparently, even as a dryan, he's in a hurry for the current inability to move. After all, even though he was a king, he was a beast, and his emotions were blatantly on the table.
Kazas saw such a dryan and had a few things in mind.
"Right... so you've had such an important story, what should I do?"
"Nothing, I can't help it. It's not difficult to talk about, and even if you were a spy in some country, it's impossible to use this as an opportunity to attack our country. On the east side, Krums has a lid on it, and Princess Rayfan thinks she can really be trusted. Besides, if we were able to invade, we wouldn't be in the neighborhood, such as a nation that could confront our military forces before us.
In addition, our country was originally rich in mineral resources, but it is not suitable for farming. How much time and effort does it take to replace it with land for ourselves when it is occupied by humans who are farming peoples? There's no harm in coming into our country. "
"Well, the conspiracy of the human world is going to set you up to go through needlepoints from the unexpected. I was wondering if I should stay alert.
More than that, I've come up with something. "
The eyes behind Kazas glasses gleam. Dryan looked back at the light funny.
"Well, what did you come up with?
"Would you like to hire me as a staff officer? Period until Nia clears the cause in this country."
Before Dryan, Kazas made a bold suggestion.
