The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 11 - New Request ② -

And Alphilis changed the story and cut to the point.

"So, what can we do for you about Romansland?

"Mm-hmm. Shall we also talk about Miranda? They'll be here any minute."

Miranda came to the spot. I also feel like it took a while to call it in as soon as Alphilis arrived, but it wasn't as good as it used to be.

Alphilis looked Miranda in the face and grated her chest. On the other hand, there were concerns. There is almost no doubt that it was Miranda's order to send Mason. In that case, how far were you going to let Mason do it? There was also a part of the alphilis that could not be measured. Because as far as Alpha Reese looked at Mason, we felt like we were in danger of becoming our own enemies if we had to.

While Alphilis was delighted with Miranda's appearance of good health, he was somehow realizing himself unable to place the full trust of what he had before. Still, I changed my mind and said hello myself.

"Long time no see. Looking good. Best of all."

"Do I look like that?

"More than before."

"Sure, it's better than before. Totally insomniac these days."

"You haven't slept?

"Busy doesn't change forever, but I'm just used to it. Well, Romansland's measures. Alberto, spread the map."

Miranda had already brought in maps around Romansland. Seeing how many writings have already been made, I guess some reflection has been made. Miranda started talking to herself.

"Let's start with information that Atashi purchased from pilgrimages and other association branches. The invasion of Romansland began suddenly without a declaration of war. It just seems that disturbing behavior has been around the border for a long time, and that countries bordering the border often ask questions, but they should be described as part of a military operation to ignore or crusade demons. As a result, the end of the war was opened with almost every country close to defenceless. You already think the war dead in every country count 10,000? There are reports of Romansland troops going around on fire everywhere, slaughtering and looting."

"It presents a complete war of aggression. How big?"

"A total of 300,000 to 500,000. This will hit almost all of Romansland's standing armies. For this reason, we believe that in addition to the regular army, conscripts have been added. They're heading south from five invasive roads."

"I see. Then the war itself might be over waiting for winter."

Cowen pinched his mouth. Miriazal asks about the assumption.

"Why can you say that, Corwen?"

"As all of you on this occasion may know - that is why Romansland laid its current border line - the Romansland's national territory is vast - but there remained a small country around it. Why is that?"

'Cause across small countries, they each meet demonic habitats'

"Archbishop Miranda is right ~"

Cowen replied with a smile. Because some of the men who were there leaned their necks, Cowen goes on to explain.

"Okay ~? First there are seven main streets leading to Romansland ~. The road leading west leads to a place called the Karajana region - but this is at the knees of the Orimpas Association ~. There is absolutely no point in invading it, because it goes through numerous barren areas and demonic nests by the very end of it ~. The eastern streets ~ lead to Alexandria through the conflict zone ~. Unless you are seriously willing to war Alexandria again - there is no point in passing it ~.

Then ~, the five southern streets are the main invasion, the center of commerce ~. Of which the westernmost streets ~ enter the Broome Volcano Zone when you pass through one country ~ "

"Where we were flown by the transfer, right?

"As far as I can tell, that's a very small part of the volcanic zone ~. The real volcanic zone is bigger ~ and there are many sulphur eruptions where organisms can't live ~. If we can get through here, we'll reach western countries ~ but we need a month even if we have guidance for troops to get through ~. I was wondering if it would be difficult unless it was also the cooperation of the local species ~.

Next is another eastern street - but if you go through another country, you will hit the marshlands -. The marshlands are under the control of the marshmen - and even if they fall out, they are the prairies -. The streets in the middle will still hit the prairies, separating the Grand Canyon. I wonder if there's any point in going south for the same reason. "

"Sure. So how about the east side of the street?

"The easternmost streets - on top of the need to plummet the country - are thinner in their own steps and unsuitable for advancing the army. That depends on where your ultimate goal is - but if you're going south, I was wondering if it's going to be another western street, Fullhorn Street."

"It's the oldest street. Therefore, it will be well maintained as a street and will withstand the invasion of the army. But..."

"Yeah, it's also the most difficult street. When Romansland's realm once belonged to demons, it should have been one of the fierce war zones. There are some of the best Fulhorn fortresses on the continent, and they even told me that if I had 20,000 soldiers there, I wouldn't be able to get through a rat. And if you pull out of there, what you're waiting for is a free trade federation, starting with Tarram. It will be condemned by the nations to advance the army there. There's no excuse, is there?

"I see, it sure is. So as Arnelia, we just need to move?

"... could it be?

When I agreed with Cowen's words, it was Alphilis who disputed them.
