After a smooth nine-day voyage, the ship had come to Byron Peak, the capital of the Republic of Albio.

However, according to Dr. Etha's historical story heard on board, calling Byron Peak the capital doesn't seem to feel very good to the Albio Republic.

Originally, it was called Byron's Peak because there was a prominent high ground in the bay and that was where the sailors marked it.

The name also moved to the city at its foot, of which it became Byron Peak.

While hostile to the Islamist world, he was exposed to a situation where he did not know when and when he would be attacked, and Byron Peak, with a prominent high ground in the bay, became a treasure.

One of these days it has become a crumbling capital, but it cannot be said to be a heavy history to be too proud of for the rest of us.

On the Greater Albio Island there is a splendid city called Albion, and the emotional capital of the people of the Republic of Albio is there.

Albion seems to be a magnificent city around Birmingham, in the middle of the southern plains of Greater Albio Island.

Around Great Britain and Ireland, two thousand years ago, there were about three old kingdoms, each of which apparently dominated Ireland and Scotland, plus England and Wales, but were destroyed by the Xulxes Divine Guard Empire, as elsewhere, and came under control.

Albion is the state capital of Albio, a subordinate state built by the Xulxes Divine Guard Empire at that time.

Later, when the Xulxes Divine Guard Empire fell, the area became an occupied area of the Carruguignon Empire.

But when the Great War between the Karlugi and the Casolicas began, the Karlugignon Empire repeatedly raised taxes on a massive scale to make it a war expense.

The burden was at a similar level throughout the country, but it did not differ that it was a terribly harsh tax rate, and those who were on the islands of Albio large and small were forced to bear a great burden.

For them who were on the island, it was only about the war and other fires on the other side of the continent, and they didn't really feel it.

Yet only taxes were so high that the starving dead could come out, that when the empire of Callurgignon came under attack and fell from all directions, it flipped the anti-flag.

However, in the plain area of the Greater Albio Island, easy to land on the abundance, was garrisoned a large regiment of soldiers of the Carruginhon Empire alerted to the landing of enemy forces.

So the beeping took place on the island of Albio Jr.

Then I took the island of Albio Jr., which is a good thing, and got it all the way around Scotland, but they didn't win the battle in the plains, apparently.

Then, when the kingdom of Frussia, which has followed the empire of Calluguignon, lands, control of the south is taken from them.

Of course, we went south thievingly in the fire, but we still lost the battle on the plains and were once again driven away by the mountains.

The north was protected because it could have won a battle in the mountains easy to resist.

Then, about one hundred and eighty years ago from now, there was a great war between the State of Islam and the State of Cocorru.

This is the war of awe, the all-out war of multistates versus multistates, where there were tens of thousands of siege wars, and the Islamist nation came to terms with this war.

The Euphos Confederation is a country independent of the kingdom of Frussia in the form of a back stab at this time.

The history of competent founders revolting once and for all, taking countries to the palm of their hands with their surrounding plans and becoming good and independent may be similar to that of the Galilee Union.

At this time, the Euphos Federation attacked the southern part of the Greater Albio Island, where the kingdom of Frusha ruled, and took this away.

There has never been a better opportunity than at this time in history, but sadly the Great Council of the Republic of Albio seems to have been in a state of chaos at the time and in the utter midst of political strife.

I was just bypassing the fact that the national decision-making bodies were paralysed, unable to mobilize the army in a planned way, and that the rulers of the plain areas were shifting in front of me.

The system changed slightly internally to prevent similar things from happening from that reflection, increasing the human prerogatives of a position like that of Prime Minister: the President of the Grand Council.

And to this day.

There were four people in the cabin.

Me, Leelika Kukrillison, a messenger on the side of the Albio Republic, and four clerks to do the shorthand he's been accompanying.

"Far away...... painful for your efforts, my lord Yuri Howe"

"Regards"

I floated from my chair and shook hands with the messenger.

"Now, Lord Ovelin Octal, Grand Council Member. I wonder if you're a fully delegated ambassador."

"Fine."

He doesn't mind.

"The figure of 50% of this fee is just too high. It's a big deal. I want you to put it around 10%."

I was sending a messenger to them once from the sea, to examine the conditions.

I was invited to land, but that was no and combined with a meeting on board.

Ma, I thought you'd blow it, but not 50%.

"Even here, there's something called a fee."

"That's understandable. It's not like I have public relations with your country in the name of being at war. But that doesn't mean 50%."

"Fifty percent is conscientious pricing. I'm afraid your country has no choice."

Hmmm......

Well, there's a lot of Terrorist speakers here and now, and we can't invite envoys from all countries to negotiate individually.

That makes it harder to trade except for the big guys like you on page one.

"It's out of the law.

Leelika Kukrillison, who was next to me, is angry.

"Leelika. Shut the fuck up."

"Shit -!"

"Shut up."

This is not a place for business.

It's a diplomatic place.

- I'm sure your country has been making money through the company.

"I appreciate that."

After that, he waited awhile, but he doesn't even carry on two sentences.

I'm grateful, is that all?

"Hmm..."

I see. Is that coming...

Ma, in the end, when it comes to losses, it's definitely going to get more out of hanging out with us, so I guess that's it.

You better negotiate decently with someone you'd rather be with for a long time.

It's natural.

For them, we're not, so this is how they're offering extrajudicial conditions.

"Well, let me just buy some food."

"That, too, will be the price of a thousand epis per bag of wheat"

"Become -!"

Leelika Kukrillison changed her blood phase.

I can't say much because I don't know the exchange rate, but I'm sure it's an extrajudicial price.

"Shut up."

"So - it's a hell of a price setting! Look under our feet!"

"So did the witches."

I was also told by Louida Gudanvier's Baba to give me 20% just for the money in advance.

If we go at that level, it would be on our conscience to include 50% of the negotiations in which labor intervenes.

I'm just saying that I'm conscientious of the extrajudicial pricing of the jerk, and it doesn't make any difference extra-judicial.

"That would be nice. However, if that's the case, I'll let you think about a deal in the future."

"There seems to be some misunderstanding."

Ovelin Octal stood out of his chair.

Next door, there's the clerk on the other side I asked for, and he's taking a shorthand.

Ovelin Octal looks out the cabin window.

"We had two options. One deals with the Kingdom of Siyarta on the terms I mentioned earlier"

"I see."

The second is to capture your ship here.

"I see."

I knew it.

"In the second option, Lord Yuri Howe and you won't be here, but you'll get Etha Casolica Wichita. They're both expensive. You may be taken prisoner and exchanged for royal nobles in your country."

Well, yeah.

It would make a lot of money.

"Given your position, no matter how many blows you make, you will be able to accommodate an exchange. Etha Casolica Wichita and your history on the first page of your list… Together, you can withdraw about five times as much money into the fruits of our national budget. Can you see why I said 50% of the fees are conscientious?"

"You're more of a pirate than you can ask. Inspiring."

"It's an honor to keep you complimented."

There is no evil.

I know this guy is real, but I guess if you say it, he's a throwaway pawn, and it doesn't make sense to be a hostage.

"You just can't say you're very smart. Though I can't help it."

"What about that?"

"Clerk, do you take shorthand notes? Probably become historical material. It's a serious responsibility."

"Yes?"

The clerk looked up.

Peeping into hand, he seems to be taking proper minutes with a streamlined written body.

"Your country believes that it is short-handed but not foolish. I'm counting on your opinion."

"What does that mean? I don't know if you know, but this ship is folding sails."

"So?"

"We know all about this bay. There is no escape from the five ships on the wind. Your country has no experience in naval warfare. There's not a single winner."

"Yeah...... well, fine. So if we try to escape, the kingdoms of Siyarta and Albio will automatically start a war."

When I say that, I guess Ovelin Octal finally got a strong discomfort.

I broke my spare look.

"... that's what happens"

"I want to make sure you didn't wage war from us. If we sail to escape, your navy will launch Operation Nana without a declaration of war. You're glad you accepted the declaration."

"... no"

"No? You would be Ambassador Plenipotentiary. Statements are recorded. Query the minutes and it will be interpreted as such. Or do you want to withdraw your statement?

"... No, you're right, I was wondering if I could interpret it as opening a war"

I took the word.

"Now, if a military vessel in your country on the wind raises or cuts a neptunium, let's assume that it has started Operation Nana. Clerk."

"Yes?"

The clerk, who had written the minutes because of it, raised his face.

"Sign the Minutes so far"

"... what?

Ovelin Octal seems to be in the extreme of confusion.

"Don't you get it? We're going to open the battlefield. It's a war."

When I said that, tension ran inside the cabin.

"Look, Clerk, make me a copy quickly. Because we need two pairs for both parties."

The sailors are sailing.

"Your country is too slow to hear. Don't you know we sank a large number of Euphos Federation ships?"

Ovelin Octal was silent.

I had binoculars, and I was looking at five ships of iridium.

"No, we have heard the information"

"So you didn't think the weapon would be on the ship? That's a high price. Though they had big candy hanging in front of them."

I saw the five ships' ivory cut off.

"Raise the signal flag!

When I screamed, the pre-prepared signal flag was raised.

Six eagles fly from the bureaucracy.

"Look, it's the result of shallow thoughts in your country."

Of the five ships, an eagle turned backwards of four threw something with a pound as it descended sharply.

But nothing happens to the deck.

I guess I pushed through.

Under the deck pierced by the weight of cast iron, metal pieces and burnt oil should be scattered with the explosion by now, killing the occupants as well as causing an untouchable fire.

The two spare wings dropped nothing, and when they saw that all the bullets had landed, they headed towards the harbor.

"Don't worry. One ship has been instructed to stay. Sailors will be rescued. I can't let anyone die in an explosion."

………

Soon black smoke like muscle begins to rise from the ship.

A flame bottle was handed to the returning eagle and rose again.

When a flame bottle is thrown, it is also impossible to operate the ship on deck.

A flame bottle hit by the main mast in good condition instantly turned the mast of one ship into a burning stick of fire.

The sailors threw themselves off the ship and began to swim for only one safe ship.

"What's up? You will return to the report. [M] You have to take a good look."

When I saw Ovelin Octal, he looked pale.

"Rest assured. I'm not mad. It wasn't even supposed to happen."

"... Yes"

"There are enough remnants. There are 48 ships docked in the harbor right now. I don't think a single ship can escape. Destroy everything, including anything under construction at the shipyard."

"... it"

"What's up? This would be the war your country wanted. You, Ambassador Plenipotentiary, signed the Minutes. You can't get away with this."

Ovelin Octal was shaking his shoulder pathetically.

Now that we have this weapon, I guess we know it can no longer be made up of naval warfare or anything else.

It's like an adult twisting a baby's hand.

"Well, here's the suggestion. If the Republic of Albio is willing to cooperate, let us lend that eagle free of charge. They'll actually buy the weapons that burn the ship."

The eagles only miss the Shans, so they cannot be their own weapons.

It was also good to be able to demonstrate the power of the eagle.

The signing of the treaty would also carry advantages.

"...?

"It's the Euphos Federation. As you can see, using that gives you an overwhelming advantage in naval warfare. So burn their ships to the ground. That way, the national power of his country, which relies on shipping, will be diminished. It will not be easy to send reinforcements to the Greater Albio Island. Fulfilling the Albion Retrieval petition is not a dream either. Or is the five-year state budget more important than Albion?"

In front of us, four ships are completely on fire.

Black smoke rose from everything from the bow to the stern, and it was windy.

"... why do you propose such a thing? If we can disable all military ships, it's not a dream to land the army and occupy our capital."

"Because your country is not a Casolic. The only countries I crush are the Casolics. I'm not interested in owning this island."

Weapons support is one of the effective strategies.

No need to sacrifice your own people, no hurt, no pain, no itch. Other people use their weapons to hurt their enemies.

You don't have to break your own ship, you don't have to bother because you can do it on your own over there.

"Go back and consult with the Speaker of the Great Council. Choose whether you want us to be allies or enemies."

"... I see, apparently, you are more Yingjie than listening"

Who is Yingjie?

Don't let your spine get cold, this guy.

"If no vessel with a white flag comes by five hours later, it will indiscriminately destroy the vessel staying in the port and the downtown area. Any ship that tries to leave port in the meantime is going to destroy this as well. Tell the shipowners not to leave if the ship spares them."

"Yes."

"The terms of the truce shall be food full of barns for all our ten ships. Although it has become a one-sided flow, it is a war blown from your country. good (...) mind (...) right?

And I gave Ovelin Octal the draft treaty I had prepared in advance.

"Look, take this and go fast. A headless captain could get the ship out. I want peace with your country. I don't really want to hurt you."

"Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm really sorry for your disrespect."

"It's not like I don't understand. Come on, let's go."

When I said that, Ovelin Octal got off the rope ladder and moved onto the boat he came aboard when he came.

"Are you sure?

Leelika said how anger can't hold up.

"That attitude of those people! I'll never forgive you."

"Forgive him."

This event could be a future odd currency.

The Republic of Albio is a country of the Callughis.

If the eagles spread, it could still be a rivalry in the future.

At that time, if you are an intimate friend who has gone out with you in good faith without betraying this one, it is hard to cut it off.

Sometimes, if you get along with someone who draws a line, you come to grips with a friendship and offer technology.

"I'll have my hands back soon. If you pretend to be angry, they might even send you a bribe."

"What if I don't get my hands back?

"I don't know because I've only completed ten of those warheads. Six more ships in the meantime, and then you'll realize it's cheaper to present the grain than all the ships in port. If I can afford it, I'll come here regularly, and every time I can, I'll be a lizard. It's over there selling fights."

Either way, this one gains.

"... Aren't we going to truce?

"A truce is not like an end to a war. A truce, maybe a week."

When I took it for granted, Leelika laughed Ugh.

"Boulder, you're the man I expected."
