The Branded Female Fencer

Third day of the meeting. The meeting showed a surprising development in the morning. Romansland, there is no King Swendle. As such, Voff did not speak a word on the occasion of the meeting, and Anneclose, the second princess, was instead in the lead to speak.

Are we not yet accustomed to the debate in the official setting, it was also followed, and we saw high-pressure words and actions like Romansland military personnel, but still desperate arguments and honest personalities were passed on to the nations.

That Romansland is not a complete single rock either, and that it often does not remain King Swendre. There is also indeed a disturbance in the internal affairs that comes from the king's ill health, and the king is also mentally unstable. There were many who questioned this invasion even in the military, stating that they would stop and show it to themselves, who are responsibly anti-war.

Not all of those theories were accepted, of course, but within the morning the debate saw a certain settlement. We first came to the conclusion that we would trust Anneclose and leave that to deal with. On the other hand, it was strongly suggested that if the withdrawal of troops was not carried out within the lid month, a joint army for the purpose of the Romansland conquest might be organized.

At the end of the morning meeting, Anneclose sent her gaze toward Alphilis, telling her that she had done well with her eyes, but that Alphilis had not been firm. Was that the same for Ray fans, who just bumped into Alphilis when they started eating in the prepared pantry?

"... that transformation of Romansland. Alfie, is that you?

"Come on, what do you think?"

Ray fans stared at Alphilis, who flaunted the meat while teasing.

"What did you do?

"Nothing, nothing? I originally planned to meet and talk to His Highness Anneclose during this meeting. That happened to be last night, and I just happened to talk about this meeting. Either way, she was acting up, even if I didn't say anything. I might have pushed that back a little bit."

"Yes, you happen to be. Then that's what I'll do."

"Oh, you're so light."

The alphilis that ate the shoulder watermark was decent, but this time Ray fans were calmly carrying fish dishes into their mouths.

"Because whatever your response to Romans Land doesn't affect me that much. There are very few armies in Krums that can currently move into a combined army. Backward support, at best, in the combined army."

"Could a combined army indeed have had its effects distributed according to its contribution?

"Exactly, but my country doesn't need to distribute the effects. Besides, even if you attack a Romansland opponent, you'll be driven back in their territory anyway. With poorly maintained streets, you can move your army to your opponent's capital in the summer months at best. In the rainy season, how hard it is to build a barracks in the land where snowmelt water is also exchanged to make it look like muddy, and in the land where crops are fruitless because of salt damage. Expenditure on a combined army is just an economic waste.

Just a little string up the history books and you'll see. "

"I wonder? I think it would be easy for Romansland to perish."

I said something absurd about Alphilis, so a little while later Ray fans looked back at Alphilis. Towards surprised Ray fans, Alphilis begins to explain.

"Oh, don't be surprised. I'm not thinking of anything else. Now - at this moment when the Satellite Nation is occupied by demons, if I were to take command of the Allied Coalition, it would mean that there is one easy way to destroy Romansland. Maybe it doesn't have to be me."

"... how to do that?

"Soldier attack."

Answered Alphilis as he poured the meat in wine. Ray fans rubbed his eyes because his brown eyes were a little black and he felt like he was glowing demonically, but when he looked at it again, it must have been the usual alphilis.

Alphilis kept talking.

"No enduring battle can be fought on a lean land in Romansland. Wouldn't it be as good as Romansland to have an army without an instructor in the peasants and a farm tool in the standing army? Still can't catch up, so as I know it's shifting the food itself away from satellite countries. The invasion of satellite countries is also, perhaps, to take root food in anticipation of future long-term expeditions.

Instead, it is likely that no decent crop will be captured for several more years from the land ravaged by demons. What Romansland hates the most right now is a protracted war. You don't have to let anything fall on the capital, but you'll make a noise somewhere if you root for or crush the food producing areas within reach of the Feilongs. "

"If this is the moment, it may indeed be possible... but then shouldn't we have moved the army after the peace conference? During this peace conference, which lasts as long as half a month, acts of war have ceased for whatever reason. If you violate that, that could be the subject of the expropriation of nations.

If you want a short-term showdown, it would be painful to be detained at this meeting at a time when you can move the army. Will there be enough food in the occupied country to last half a million troops?

"Exactly, but if we don't even have to go to war, we can also assume that we're moving troops in this period. Half a million demons, right? You don't think it's that easy to get around, do you? Maybe as soon as the army moves out, Swendle will just pull out of the meeting."

"You said you were trying to prolong the argument by buying time?

Alphilis twisted his neck to Ray Fan's inquiry.

"As one possibility, of course. Just because you have to wage the war that you expressed during the peace conference period, might the next invasion begin the moment the peace conference is over be an option that you can think about?

"Mm... then you think the war will resume between the Northern Commercial Union and Romansland?

"I wonder..."

Alphilis was also uncomfortable with Romansland's response, like Ray fans, for a slightly different reason. Thank you very much for giving Anneclose the lead in the meeting. Whatever the lack of diplomatic talent, what was the King's attitude in the first half?

In addition, Alphilis was thinking about the orcs that suddenly appeared in Tarram. If there is a way for them to get out, stopping an army going south in the unity of a commercial union would be a totally useless military strategy.

On the contrary, Alphilis thought they could even betray the flag if it was poorly colored. Even worse, is it not a conceivable hand to use food taken in disregard of the supply line and to ignore the tarram and fall all the way south to Arnelia at once?

Reckless, but there is also the possibility of a total collapse of the countries of the east if they succeed. Alphilis wondered how he would attack Arnelia, etc.

It was the Ray fans who interrupted that Alphilis thought.
