The Branded Female Fencer

"Is it a food problem?"

"That's right. Originally the land to the east is lean. Human support and the influx of mineral resources are still central from the eastern lands, and food support is mainly provided from our continent. Also, ghosts can leave a curse when you kill them and contaminate the earth, so killing ghosts doesn't make the occupied territories suitable for growing crops for a while. Even if we extinct the ghosts, the opening is decades away on the eastern continent. They won't be able to wait such a long time. Even now, there are starving deaths on the eastern continent.

The absence of the ghosts will increase the population on the eastern continent in the future. But you can't have enough food to cover it. And not much crop has been taken this year, not to mention our land and murder. Being the best barn zone in the east, Vesel lost the war against his clients, so the other decade would be ripped off land and food instead of compensation. Naturally, there will be less food aid to the eastern continent. The food crisis on the eastern continent becomes evident. When you do, there's one thing you can think of. "

"Win the war, take away the food..."

"But I wonder if things move so easily. The Demon Society is an organization founded to kill ghosts. It was only running because it was in the name of killing ghosts, and that's now - Ah."

He said it himself and Burlington noticed. If you don't have a name, you can make it. If there's anyone in the way, you can rule it out. Not inconceivable, but possible.

"Daimyo was killed at the same time...?

"Put your belly together, too, I guess. Not all of them, I'm guessing many of them are solemnized by now. It is also said that all the power of the Demon Society is comparable to that of this Arnelia. In particular, all four executives are also reputed to possess demon-king combat capabilities. If that's what's going to push Big Famous's power all the way over here, it's going to be pretty big. We have to stick together."

"This continent?"

"At the very least, all the countries east of Arnelia. Assuming they land, Arnelia, who boasts of being the protector of the continent, will not remain silent. The purpose of the Demon Society would be to crush Arnelia. But if the way we fight is all different from what, what happens before we deal with it? In doing so, it's thought of as an invasion route."

"Our country, right"

To Ivanzard's words, everyone showed silent silence. Located near the eastern edge of the continent, Alexandria is always in a state of war with its eastern neighbors. Countless and varied border populations, including criminals, small ethnic groups, immigrants from the eastern continent, and sub-races. They were the ones who haunted Alexandria before Diore took office as Grand General, and because they are fighting them, Alexandria has an ironic history that led him to own the most combat-prone knighthood in this peaceful continent.

And in the land of the eastern border people there is a place that borders the sea. The easiest time to target in naval warfare is at the moment of landing, but since many countries in the east are building defensive networks on the coast in preparation for the battle against sea demons, the defensive networks can be used as they are if the eastern continent invades this way, but the eastern peripherals also tend to have thin coastal defensive lines because of the intense territorial replacement. Then, the land of the peripheral people is also considered as the easiest possibility to think of as the route of invasion of the Demonic Society. Because many people on the border have no great power of war, it was thought that it would be easier if only to pass without thinking about governing after domination, as in Alexandria. Also south of Alexandria are the countries that make up the barn zone. Even considering post-landing replenishment, there is a possibility of heading south in the direction of Arnelia by blurring Alexandria's territory from the border.

Imagine if all the forces of the Exorcism Society had come to this Alexandria, and the three benign generals also remembered the frigid ones. But soon they looked at them paled, and spilled a soothing grin. He is not the head of the three armies who have worked out for Dada for a long time.

"Sounds like we each have measures. Shall I hear it?"

"First of all, no matter how formidable a group they are, I think it's impossible to pull out our castle early. The elites of our Alexandria, who continued to fight the border people and the warcraft without rest at 46 o'clock, are not the same. I don't care if you're an oligarchy, I'll fight more than that to show you.

In addition, the border is a terrain with poor land and many natural traps. One thing is, do you really choose a path that is difficult to march on just as a march path for all your forces? Now it's just the worst case scenario you can think of. "

"Are you saying that Danverg is nothing but a concern?"

"Though it's a fairly likely concern to materialize. But the fear of the mightiness of the enemy lies in cowardice before he can see it."

"So suppose they come through the border?

"Let's get him through."

Burlington said softly. The words are spoken by others. Diore also laughed as he looked interesting.

"Hmm...? You want me to give him the land of Alexandria?

"It is a land that sometimes dawns in the midst of the battle against the peripheral people anyway." As far south as possible, "you can give it to him at dawn. There are few residents, and a place where there is no good to rule. At best, it's about the central civilian who cares about taxes and the homeland administrator who has trouble rewriting the map that takes the land and makes a scene. If there's a flaw in this operation, we'll be ready to hear the civilians complain."

"Will Alexandria's honor not hurt?

"There is no honor to be hurt to that extent. Instead of losing, we make strategic retreats with one step at a time. Let's roll out that much fighting. And if the march path is vacant, there is an army nearby that equals intact. I'm worried they'll turn me down rear, and they can go to sleep. Sooner or later, it is obvious that we will be bringing some kind of peace negotiation.

In addition, as we go south, let's now ask Vallas and Ormed in the south for rescue on all sides. We can get a big name by involving neighbouring countries. I thought it would be enough to fight in earnest afterwards. "

"I see you have such means. How's Ivanzardo?

"I have the same idea as you two. However, that's not funny enough, so I'll set you up here in Abyss, too. For example, half their return ship will burn down, there will be a rebellion on their land, etc."

"Hehe, do you want me to light your feet? I'm sure you'll be tempted."

"Yes, you may see an interesting dance"

Diore nodded satisfactorily at the proposal.
