The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 271 On the outskirts of Cote Fermi

Two weeks after the fall of Chantinion, I was sitting at a meeting on a farmland near Cote Fermi in the eastern part of the Galilee Union.

"So, did Lord Fritz die in an accident?

A man named Orceus said he was the current commander-in-chief of the enemy army.

"I've told you so many times. If you're suspicious, surrender and then Chantinion - I'll tell you what, Galileanin. Go to and ask the police officer who investigated the case. I don't have a mouth seal, so you should be honest with me."

"Of course I will."

"Well, can we just talk about this now? I don't care if that's my guide or not. I feel like I'm being blamed for an affair I didn't have with a suspicious woman."

………

Was this guy named Olseus quite friendly with Fritz?

I feel something like a grudge.

"So it's a condition of surrender."

I was forced to cut to the chase because it was too much trouble for me to say any more.

"Preferential treatment in governance is unacceptable. In the first place, the treatment itself, similar to that currently assumed for urban areas, is sufficiently gentle. If we go any further, we will be treated more favourably than our own citizens."

"There are no conditions for the tax system."

An old man named Ariosha, sitting next to Olseus, said. The old man seems to be the mayor of Cote Fermi, the second city of the Galilee Union.

Fritz seemed to have designated this man as the vice president in shape, in the position of the leader of the Galilean coalition remnants who lacked the current capital.

"Conditions are summarized here. Let's make sure."

Aliosha gave me a piece of paper.

The paper was carefully pointed at us, so when I read it lightly on the desk, it said that I did not understand the definitive translation of some autonomy, legislative power, judicial power, etc. in large cities, such as Cote Fermi.

"--ahh"

I unexpectedly sighed. When I picked up the paper I was given, I immediately tore it in two and threw it away.

I was a little confused about what to explain to the two people who looked down because of the breach of the conditions that I would have thought hard.

Just a little.

"I have two warnings for you."

I said.

"First of all, I don't think you're such a big Mocha that you can't imagine that if you give autonomy to a big city, you'll get into trouble later."

After saying so,

"One more thing. Like many people in the world, I don't like the smell of trouble. Absolutely no autonomy. Nor do we intend to set off from foolish conditions and have discussions that will lead parents to children with bad memories."

This is what happened, so I wanted Fritz to live.

There are people in the world who can only talk about whether their brains are rotten, whether they don't know their position in the first place, and how tired they are of dating.

"This is the condition for our surrender."

I threw away a piece of paper I had made in advance.

"Our prime minister made it. It's possible to rub some terms together, but I don't think I'm going to make a big concession from here. If this is unacceptable, I don't want to, but I have to continue the war."

Myaro is now in the Chantinion because he can't leave the Chantinion alone.

Basically, the proposed concession is based on measures to ease the treatment of surrendered officers.

Instead of resisting until the end raising a white flag, he surrendered before taking care of himself, so he made the imposed labor much lighter.

"Let them destroy the government?

But Ariosha seems to have noticed something unexpected. Since he was not a Chantinion politician, I wondered if he felt that the government or the cathedral really cared.

"Oh, I'll dig a hole in the main pillar, stuff it with gunpowder and blow it up. That is a condition that cannot be compromised."

"Kid! Do you know the historical value of that building!? This is the cathedral that has been watching the history of Galileanin! I won't let you break it!!

The old man is changing his blood phase. I am worried about my blood pressure.

"Unlike you, I don't like the concept of racial sin, but it's not good to put myself on the shelf."

Humans are creatures that can only think about things on their own.

There's nothing I can do about it, but it stinks.

"Nine hundred years ago, who destroyed and replaced the imperial castle of Chantinion, also a thousand years old?

/(adv, adv-to, vs) (on-mim) (on-mim) feeling better/feeling better/feeling better

The old man didn't seem to be aware of the matter at all. She looks like she was suddenly told something she didn't expect.

"If you think it came down from heaven and destroyed all the stars, there seems to be a long way to go from historical recognition."

"Of course, I know. But what about this?"

"It's not another problem."

I blocked the line.

"Your fathers did the same, and built the cathedral to follow the history of the Chantinion, and you who live today have no sense of guilt about it. Then it's not fair to ask me to fear the history of your country."

"But..."

"Lord Ariosha"

Olseus blocked the old man's objection.

"- Yuri. But does such conflict destroy the spirit of conciliation you complain about?

"I'm making concessions. That's what it says."

It's starting to get a little embarrassing.

The conditions on the desk are given a two-week moratorium on the blast, allowing the removal of historical artifacts or the cutting out of relief of artistic value.

I don't hate that cathedral in the first place, and if such a symbolic building remains built, the governance problem is so great that it will be destroyed, but it does not have the spirit of protecting cultural property.

Therefore, I did not intend to forgive the work that would take about 10 years to relocate to another place, but I intended to let this kind of work be done unconditionally.

I've added that to the sentence here, and I'll give you the honor of giving you that condition. I had the audacity to do it, but I talked about not doing it somehow.

"If we don't surrender, it sounds like a threat to blow up the government."

"I don't mind if you think about it. In fact, no matter how much you cry and beg, no matter how much you get scolded, don't blow it up without saying it."

Either way, if this meeting breaks down, the war will resume.

If it breaks, all it takes is to gather experts and people to work secretly and blow it up.

"Besides, Lord Orceus. You had better think about another condition. [M] Regarding the treatment of the general."

I forced myself to change my story.

"Disarm without battle and get five years of labor....?

The men captured in the meeting in Shibbiak are supposed to be 25 years of labor.

Five years is cheap.

"Not without a fight. We've already fought once."

That's right. However, under these conditions, if you leave the country, you will not need to be employed. A lot of people would choose to work for free for five years. "

"I could use a little shorter time. As a matter of fact, we don't want to punish you."

"... what? What are you talking about?"

Olseus said with a question in his face.

"For our part, after the killing of each other by war, we believe that returning soldiers with heightened hatred to their homes in pieces is the same as deliberately spreading poisonous poppy seed grains around the fields. Disarming is not a world where you can't get a blade. It would be troublesome to have a small resistance from all of them. In that sense, as long as everyone returns to their hometown and grows their fields with great care, they don't have to work hard, but in fact, even if they say to grow up, they don't grow up. I tried it once in an urban national zone, but it didn't work out. I want you to do labor for a few years in the sense of cooling the heads of bloody people. It's not like I'm imposing hard labor on the dead."

As a matter of fact, this is a big attempt to get the neoclassical to read and get rid of the Catholics, but you might want to keep quiet here.

"Well, when you invaded our country, all the general public were tied up as slaves and pulled up. Given that, five years would not be such an extrajudicial requirement."

"But the soldiers are not convinced that there is still a way out of the country. Those who are now twenty years old will spend half of their twenties on labor. It's too big a loss."

"Well... that's right. Do you mean four years after losing a year? It must be a drop-off place."

"Three years. I'm not convinced anymore."

"Three and six months."

………

Olseus kept silent with a difficult face because he pretended to be like that.

Originally intended for three and six months, I wrote a lot, so this is as we thought.

"Rather, three or six months would be more convenient. I may have missed it, but winter is coming. But six months later, it's spring. I don't think a man who eats a lot of rice comes home in the winter and is welcome."

I say, Olseus looked at me with a happy face. He looked as if he had noticed that he was dancing.

"Choose a way to go home in three and a half years, or a way to run away and wander... either way. We'll be together when there's no obstacle."

"... I see."

"Oh, well, the war went on. I meant it better than before, so I don't mind. I can't stand the pain of your people."

There is also the question of how much the capital can be fought while the governor there is also obedient.

This man named Orceus seems to be capable there, and he seems to be in trouble, but in this state, deserters will come out of the mountains and they won't fight.

"So, Lord Ariosha. What are you going to do? It would be Ariosha who has the institutional decision-making power, even if Olseus is willing to do so. It's quick if you're going to take it."

"... even if you accept it, there will be a condition. It's just like there's nothing profitable here."

"In Islamist diplomacy, it is common to hear that losing countries pay compensation. You just have to assume that you're not asking for compensation."

"We put down our swords ourselves - it won't fit. Again, I demand the extension of the deputy mayor's powers in the administration."

"I can't. I can't talk about it."

In the current system, the mayors of each city…… Of course, the representatives are Shan, but in order to actually govern, it is absolutely necessary for the Kura people to know the actual situation of the city, so it is decided to set up a representative as the deputy mayor and do it jointly.

Truth is, there is no institutional obligation to set up a deputy mayor, but most municipalities operate in that way because it is still necessary in reality.

Of course, the deputy mayor has no final say. Delegates are given discretion to do small tasks at their own discretion, but it is forbidden, for example, to leave it up to the deputy mayor to make local ordinances of his own accord.

"However, if you are worried that the oppressors we sent will suppress the lives of citizens, you can create a new system."

"A new system?

"Oh. If there's bad governance or an unfair trial, let's get a special complaint from the vice mayor over the Shan mayor's head. That would be somewhat reassuring. Of course, we will not accept the allegation unconditionally, but we will send quite capable men to investigate."

"... is there a guarantee that it will actually be implemented? It could be a skeletal system."

"For us, it is undesirable for a mayor to suppress grievances with oppression. It's going to spark a rebellion. And then... well, if you're on that research team, you can put a certain number of Krauts in it."

"Hmm...."

Ariosha put her hand on her beard and posed like she thought.

My proposal is also being enacted to implement it, so it is not really a concession or anything.

The number of civilians needed to rule the vast new territory is too large to keep pace with the human resources and ensure quality at all. I had to use the witches to come out, and of course some of them are mixed with scum, and some of the scum mistakes the land as if it were a sealed soil given to me.

These people are making a mess, the Krauts are screaming, and in some cases, imitating like a bunch of things happens at that frequency. Therefore, it was the common view of Myaro and I that such a system would be necessary.

Well, this old man surrendered by hand, so it's bad luck, so he just wants a souvenir that won't damage his reputation.

Give him a proper handle that doesn't hurt his stomach, and he'll look good.

"I see. Got it. If that's all, I'd like some time. There are a lot of people who have to talk and reach an agreement."

"Well... until tomorrow morning. Let's get to the conclusion by then. I'm busy, so I can't take any more time."

"I don't think there's anything more important going on than this meeting."

Aryosha said with an attitude of pride that comes from the unique age of the old man.

Did you think it was a busy appeal?

No way. Dealing with this wreckage is important, but it's not that important.

"I don't know if you know, but I've just caught a chantinion and I need to go through a small strait to get into the Mediterranean by ship. The Strait is home to the second city of the Dragon Empire, Telumwool, and there are huge chain-blocking towers on both sides of the Strait, allowing it to be sealed off at any time."

I gave them what they both know, common sense knowledge.

A lockdown is a device that locks down straits and rivers. Like Constantinople, Telumwool, which is found in the same place due to fateful geopolitical factors that come from the shape of the continent, is similarly well equipped to block the straits.

"You seem to have paid a little for the passage through the Strait, but we're not going to pay for it. Fortunately, the Kuruan Dragon Empire is now at war with our country. I can't blame you for anything you do now."

"Are you going to fight the Qur 'an now?

Olseus said.

The Kuruan Dragon Empire is a great empire with huge prints. In addition to the Crusades, you think it's insane to turn your enemies to the Qur 'an.

"No. But I happen to have a good pickup on the battlefield. I'm going to let you use it at best."

This is the boy who will be the next dragon emperor for the other side.

The power relations within the royal family are subject to change, but at least for the time being, we cannot attack unless we take him back.

I saw Old Ariosha.

"What do you think? It's quite an important business."
