The Branded Female Fencer
The beginning of the war, its 3 ~ western front ③ ~
"If you turn to defend first." As the main warlords say, Shane Sereno will be ready to declare war. Anyone remember Lord Deal in the first place? I remember that he was backward in the military parliament, and that he would have been normal if he hadn't been domineering, but it is strange that he should start fighting with Romansland in the first place. If so, it is possible that this battle was framed from the beginning. If Lord Deal was to be disposable and Shane Sereno's purpose from the start was to fight us, no excuse would be unavoidable. ”
"Nnh... why does Shane Sereno need to fight us? Answer me, Alpha Reese!"
"Hmm? That's why you can let him throw up under torture after catching Shane Sereno." Now is not the time to discuss it. ”
Alphilees had a reason to think of it, but since he cut off Anneclose's words so harshly, someone impressed Alphilees with the main warlords. Apparently, it turned out that it wasn't even the princess's puppet.
Alpha Leith continues further.
"The next time you go to the offensive." You've licked Guruzard's mobility too much. If you're ready to talk to Shane Sereno right now, you'll be thrusting the flanks into Gruzardo. I'll be back in a day and a half from their place. ”
"In a day and a half...? No, no, that's not true. It's more than 10 days away on a horse."
"It's 10 days through the woods and the wasteland, and the beasts won't suffer." Besides, why do you think the Beastman's legs are inferior to horses? Such a frail species would not have struggled with humans once. All you have to do is buy Shane Sereno a day. If you attack now, you will lose. "
"On the other hand, when will you attack now?" Let me tell you something! "
Zagaria barked, but Alphilees turned away from him with cold eyes.
"If you want to attack, you can do it yourself, because I don't want to be involved in suicidal behavior." I only attack when I'm sure I can win. "
"Hmm, that's why women are cowardly!" I'll jump into the fire myself and do what I can without winning! "
"General Zagaria loves to jump into the fire and pick up the chestnuts in the fire... I'm a coward and I'll gently pick them up with my spear from a distance." Or you can sprinkle it with water. "
What are you doing?
Interestingly enough, some generals burst out small and were strangled by Zagaria.
As Zagaria's consciousness turned to the other side, Alfilise continued to talk.
“And it's foolishness and foolishness to capture the narrow path that leads to Taram. It's not sane to refuse a retreat for nearly 150,000 troops and turn them into dead soldiers. Even if we win, how much damage will we suffer? Besides, a small number of soldiers can escape the mountain trails without being dispersed. Arnelia was already trying to prevent the Orcs from escaping, and Arnelia knows all those trails. It doesn't make any sense.”
So what do we do?
"That's why I'm dropping here."
Arnelia placed a pawn on the map. And when he saw the place, there was no one blind. Because they were located in a free city under the umbrella of the Northern Federation of Commerce.
As expected, the generals were dumbfounded.
"It's a free city with a stupid declaration of neutrality!" What kind of accusations do you get if you attack them? "
“With Schoenseleno, there is no doubt that our infamy will spread from the centre to the east of the continent. What do you care about your reputation now? The winner makes history. If you kill them all, there will be no one to complain about.”
“That's true, but isn't it a rumor?”
“I admit it's imposing. And there's another reason, and this is more important. We call it a free city, but from what is it free? Is it from power, or is it from a duty to fulfil? Have Romanesque generals ever been made to feel bitter about at least one city and commercial alliance?”
That 's--
No one could say anything because they were shooting the words of Alpha Reese.
“The Union of Commercial Cities of the North hired mercenaries to defend itself against the Orcs' armies a long time ago, but ignored requests for help from neighboring countries. And now we are limiting the acceptance of displaced people as much as possible, and we are refusing requests for food. The displaced who have lost their homes suffer from hunger, while they are abandoned to excess food at a safe age. You may not be accused of doing anything with your own talent, but you are too selfish?"
In fact, during this pursuit, Alpha Reese has taken the time to make several requests to meet with the leaders of the Northern Federation of Commerce. Three of the six reportedly met with him. Of these, only one headed the meeting in response to the release of food and the acceptance of displaced people.
The other five were reluctant to share their wealth, explains Alpha Reese.
"Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they were gone." Instead, we should make good use of their wealth. ”
"I mean..."
“We will take the wealth of the Northern Union of Commerce in the name of emergency. Oh, I don't ask permission. If you miss it, I will do it on my own and distribute it to the people, and decide on my own. If there is no objection, I would like to run away, but how about that?"
Here, neither Zagaria nor Soldam complained. In other words, unless he is explicitly opposed to it, Alphilees says he will do it “without permission” to Roman's Land. If you fail, it's your fault. And the money and food that the Union of Northern Commerce was accumulating was what Roman's Land wanted to get out of his throat.
When Alpha Reese confirmed that there was no clear opposition, he glanced toward Blaugard and pushed the token toward Schoenseleno.
“While I'm moving, it might take a while. It would be even easier if someone bought some time to do it."
"Your Highness, give me an order!"
Zagaria took a step forward. I didn't feel the spirit of Alfilise at all. He is him, and he wants merit. Blaugard often looked at the lords' faces, but eventually nodded slowly.
"Zagaria, I'm going to deposit 25,000 soldiers with you." Dissuade a brilliant opponent from coming out. "
Hah!
Zagaria also left the military assembly with enthusiasm, and once the military assembly was disbanded. When Alphilees glanced towards Blaugard, he looked away at Zagaria's back with a very cold look. Understanding what that gaze meant, Alpha Reese quickly put the tent behind her.
As Alpha Reese and Lisa stepped out of the tent, Wiktoria approached them.
"The head of the delegation, the discussion"
"I took the pledge." As you can see, we'll settle this tomorrow. The gesture is already lurking, isn't it? "
“Yes, as instructed by the Commander-in-Chief, hundreds of people have already entered the Free City.”
Urus
I'm here.
After Wiktoria, a fist-wielding clan Urus appeared.
"I'll have you guys work too." Capture all the leaders of the Northern Federation of Commerce. Shire and I will be on our way to a meeting where we can talk. Please keep the rebellious head captive. "
"There should be some good guards around." What if the rebellion is fierce? "
At that time, it's unavoidable.
Urus's eyes glowed in a fierce, unmistakable glow.
Got it. I'll take care of the means and methods to get you on the ground. "
"Of course, I'm sure we have people to lead to each location." I think people in the museum can get in quietly. "
Is that how you set it up?
"There are many people around the merchants who are weak in interest and money." It's easy to manipulate. "
"Hmph, I wouldn't even be at your feet if I were to compete with you." All right, here it comes. "
When the virus disappeared, Lana and the rifling appeared afterwards.
"I'll leave it to you after I catch you." Their accumulated wealth, their professional handouts, and their books of account. Let me throw up all of it. "
"I understand." What do you do after you make him throw up? "
“Distribute food and other items to the displaced as they go to Taram. I've been talking to the Taram Management Council. If we get there, we won't starve to death. I'll leave the rest with the Roman's Land Army."
"What about the wealth?"
"Likewise, if they deposit what they can use for road banking and immediate living expenses, we will use what they can." It would be better if you deposited it with Jessia. ”
Where are the people?
When the life ring said, there was a strange pressure, so Alpha Reese and Lana, and Lisa looked at her unexpectedly, but shrugged her shoulders and replied.
"It doesn't mean anything strange." If you just torture me, I want you to decide what to do after it's broken. "
... I want you to try not to break it as much as possible. If you have good people, you can hire them. And those who have no work to do with it. The damage to the building is minimal, okay? "
Roger.
Then, when the people were gone, I saw Fostina in Alphilees' tent. Fostina is always near Alphilees in the name of escort, but she hasn't actually let her fight.
I don't have a body that can't fight, but I don't know when I'll get sick.
