The Branded Female Fencer

So you're saying that Tragaslon didn't intend to start a war?

Yes, yes.

Pfeiffer paused at a fort along the border between Krums and Tragaslon, then sent a declaration of war and a statement claiming the legitimacy of Krums and Kraya to the fort on the side of Tragaslon and to his country, before starting the war.

The fort on the Tragaslon side fell lightly when it attacked, and it did not receive any resistance. The second and third strongholds also raised their white flags lightly and smoothly. When Pfeiffer suspected the trap, an envoy from King Traguslon came to Pfeiffer and told him that he had no intention of rebelling.

The messenger was so frightened that he pondered about how it had become a war, exchanging his frustrations and excuses. It's too pathetic to wipe away the sweat, and I think Pfeiffer is a big actor if this is an act.

"If you say that's not so bad, did you lead 30,000 armies against the Krums side?"

"It was the generals who moved the soldiers on their own." There hasn't been any discussion about the expedition, and even with us, it's about water. Since the end of the war, we have learned of the existence of the battle in Krums's protest. "

"Then why don't you send the army by royal decree?"

"That order has already been issued three times, but the army won't accept it." It can only be described as a complete rampage. When I was thinking about what to do, Krums and the Kraia Allies announced that they were coming to attack, so please hurry as soon as we arrive. "

I don't have any muscles. But Pfeiffer decided to thoroughly interrogate this messenger.

"But you have always moved your troops to threaten the borders of Krums and Kraia, haven't you? It may not have been much praise since the founding of our country to this day, but I can't trust your words even from us."

"Thank you very much for your words. But even that war was fought by the now-running generals. There are not many leading fighters in Japan, and some generals are increasingly advocating strong measures. Strangely enough, I felt like I should be at war at the time, but when I calmly returned, Tragathlon had no interest in it and had just mischaracterized its resources. Let's not forget why we are waging war against other countries at this time when we are going to destroy monsters.”

So the current king, prime minister, and other civil servants say they are against the war?

“Of course, it's here”.

Pfeiffer struggled a little against the frightened messenger.

"Then we will go to the capital, so let all the forts raise white flags until then." In the capital as it is, we will meet with the king and his entourage. If these demands do not pass, all the strongholds, towns, etc. along the way will be burned down as hostile. At the same time, order the rebels to retreat. Tell them to turn because our troops are approaching the capital! ”

"Oh, my God. We can't do that much with our own authority..."

It's terrible, messenger!

Dan and Pfeiffer slam the table and stand up in the shape of anger. The envoy flipped behind the curtain.

”Eek!”

"Then we will not stop our assault until we receive a colorful reply." If you don't like it, you can fly your horse to the capital and get a reply from the king! You will apologize to the ambassadors who have appeared so far! "

Hah, hah! Thank you very much!

"I'll wait three days." I can't wait any longer! "

And it came to pass, when he had spoken with a loud voice, that the messenger went out, and ran the horse toward the city. Ozudva, the first officer who saw the situation, looked even more troubled.

"Pfeiffer-sama is mean, too." It will take you 20 days to get to and from the capital. Can't you wait till then? "

“What does Osdoba say? If the expeditionary forces really care about Tragaslon's fate, it's possible we won't be able to turn our backs on the capital. If that happens, the situation will change completely."

That's true.

"In case anything happens, the capital falls or there is a temporary truce, and we are transferred to the expeditionary side." If we do that, we may be able to make a stand, but it's still possible to destroy each of them depending on the expeditionary movement. Nothing is more terrifying than isolating ourselves in enemy territory. If you were a border collar, you would have some knowledge of it. "

I don't think it's imposing anyway.

You're cute compared to the impulse of Alpha Reese.

That's for sure.

In Pfeiffer's joking words, Osdoba couldn't help but nod. We didn't have much time to talk at this continental peace conference, but Alphilees knew Pfeiffer's position had risen, and he congratulated Pfeiffer.

At that time, even if it became a war in the future, Alphilees suggested that it was better to think of it as a strong and ruthless general externally. Until Pfeiffer becomes king, I say.

It was Pfeiffer who was thinking about softening his attitude, so I was surprised to hear that point, but it worked out well. Pfeiffer didn't want to dance on her mercenary palm, but she didn't want to weigh in on any useful advice.
