The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 260: Gertrude Evans *

"Go ahead."

Fritz said, Gachari and the clerk's knob moved.

"Phew - Hi, nice to meet you. I've done it from the Papal Realm, Phew, my name is Gertrude Evans."

The man who came to the office bowed his head and said yes.

"Phew. Excuse me, may I sit down?

The little fat man in glasses, dressed in military uniform, stood at the entrance wiping sweat with his sleeves and watching the couch with his eyes that seemed even lucrative.

Fritz's office is at height among the government agencies. It is also to observe the state of the city through the windows, but also to make it difficult for the suspicious to enter by making it deeper.

For him, climbing the stairs this far was probably a heavy labor.

"Sure, go ahead. Do you need water?

"Yes, if you don't mind"

Fritz poured water into the glass from a pitcher that was always available beside the room.

It's normal to call for help and have them bring it, but it only takes a little while. It would be better for him sooner.

"Here you go. It's got a little lemon in it."

"Appreciate it"

When Fritz gave it to him, the man named Gertrut drank the water in one breath.

"Ugh..."

"If you don't mind, have another drink"

And, when Fritz brought every pitcher and poured it into the cup, he kept the pitcher on his desk.

When Gertrut drinks up the second glass of water to the middle, he puts down a glass of satisfied or not.

"So... how about Lord Epitaph? A while ago, he was supposed to be here."

"He won't come. This time, I'm in charge of acting."

"Aren't you coming..."

It was surprising.

Because Epitaph Palazzo thought he had an extraordinary resentment for Yuri Howe.

"Well, this is the only story, a situation where you can't really leave the mainland."

"... I see"

Epitaph Palazzo has heard that he is currently in conflict with the Pope and has virtually placed the Pope under house arrest.

Pilate II is not a particularly popular pope in history, but it is not acceptable to anyone to house arrest the pope and arbitrarily (as he wishes) exercise authority.

In anticipation of that, Epitaph early solemnly sanctified the men of the army who showed a movement of rebellion. As a result, there has been no apparent civil unrest, but if Vaticanus is away, he would be in danger of losing his leg.

"If you can get reinforcements out, even if he doesn't come, it's not a problem here."

"Wouldn't you forgive me for 20,000 reinforcements?"

"No. I think it's enough"

In fact, Fritz thought the number was less than 20,000.

However, it is within the scope of the assumption.

"Why? Isn't the Galilee coalition capable of putting in about 40,000 troops?"

"We have installed Qur 'an reinforcements. 20,000 more soldiers will come."

When Fritz said so, Gertrut looked unexpected for a moment before finally raising the end of his mouth.

"Hey, Ru, Ru, Ru"

In short delimitation,

"That's Lord Fritz. I've only been able to build on my abilities."

Gertrut said, sparkling and excited his eyes.

"... no"

Words are rough, but I guess this is a kind of compliment. Fritz decided not to care.

"Above the number of troops, it's big enough to put in a dragon cavalry. I can tow you to the eagle."

"Yes."

Eagles are one of the big advantages for them.

Instead, what has so far only been used for reconnaissance and abandonment attacks has become a major advantage in the last few years. Various things thrown from the air are still extremely difficult to deal with today.

It is significant that we have brought another species of animal, the Dragon Cavalry, to our side that makes the air our territory.

"But I heard Yuri Howe is in contact with the Entark Dragon King kingdom and is among those who exchange letters with the Dragon King. Wasn't it difficult to negotiate?

"That's no problem. The two countries of the dragon seem like brothers, but now, fortunately, because of diplomatic issues, we are cold friends"

"Oh...... I'm not very familiar with diplomacy, but we were talking about it a long time ago, are we talking about pirates?

"Yes."

The beginning of that diplomatic issue comes at the edge of the fact that the southern continental coast of the Qur 'an dragon empire has been vandalized by pirates.

The pirate, who had been marked by the Dragon Empire Navy, was finally discovered on his way home from pillage one day.

If it was the Great Fleet that discovered it, it would have ended with the destruction. What was unfortunate for both countries was that it was one small ship on sentry that they discovered. Of course, it's reckless to storm a fleet of pirates with a small ship, so the ship secretly moved on to pursuit.

The fleet of pirates entered the port town of the Entark Dragon King as it was and received the purchase, sale and replenishment of looted goods.

After a series of reports, the Dragon Emperor thought that the harbor town lords were following the pirates and demanded the head of the lord from the Entark Dragon King.

But the Dragon King of the Enterk did not offer his neck because he had been cordial with the lord of that port town since he was a child.

In the words of the Enterk, the pirates had entered the port concealing the pirate flag, so there was no way to know them as pirates. It's a story. However, in fact, as claimed by the Qur 'an side, the harbour town lords may have been able to follow pirates or make deals and let them use the harbour, and the truth around it is not clear.

The Dragon King's kingdom seemed to have worked hard to hunt that pirate instead and offer him his neck, but the pirates seemed to be the better doers, disappearing without being caught.

Five years ago it was a case, but it has still not been settled, and diplomatic relations between the two countries remain somewhat giddy to this day.

"I was a little worried, too, but I guess it hasn't been in the air like that, putting up the Dragon King's face and withholding reinforcements. There was no name for Dragon King."

"That's good"

Gertrut nodded, yeah, like he heard purely good news.

Many politicians strive not to put their complexion on the table. Compared to that, emotional expression looks honest.

"And then… do you have 20,000, 20,000, 40,000, 80,000?"

"Yes, you will"

"You're anxious to that extent. Do you know what the approximate number of enemy forces is?

Last time in the Battle of the Destroyed Crusaders, it is presumed that the number of the Siyalta National Army was about 60,000.

"About 40,000."

And Fritz said.

This is not the number we have already assembled. It is an analysis and derivation of reports of a moving army that is gathering from a large number of undercover detectives who are sneaking in.

At the tip of the peninsula on which they are based, it is extremely difficult to break in about the territory of the Kingdom of Siyarta, but there are many KLAs more to the east than that.

Of course there will be sacrifices, but it is not so difficult to infiltrate and gather information.

"However, the nominal shall be sixty five thousand. In front of the Qur 'an, let it be so."

Fritz says, Gertrut says, "Hmm?" He lowered his surprised voice and gave him a surprised look.

"There are various conditions overlapping during reinforcements. As long as it's 65,000, because they're on our side."

Fritz originally did not expect more than 60,000 troops to come.

Two years is too short to tailor an interracial race that until the other day was an enemy to be trusted as a soldier in their own country.

Besides, the Kingdom of Siyarta absorbed the Kirchina region and the urban state zone, becoming too large.

Soldiers need to be policed, and the borders on the side of the Kingdom of Tyrrerme cannot be left empty, even if there is little chance of invasion.

A few small soldiers will be needed, and if that number is added, at least 10,000 will be exceeded.

Even if we estimate that the number of soldiers will increase somewhat due to the enrichment of internal affairs, I do not believe that we can mobilise more soldiers than we did in the last total battle. Not to mention, we're not going to have a war in the middle of our own country this time, we're going to have a war on the far, far front. The number to reach is less than 60,000, no matter what you think.

Ultimately, it does not fit the conditions for transferring the Neukirut.

Of course, whether or not the Qur 'an dragon empire side acknowledges that is a different story.

There will definitely be trouble. Relationships will get worse too, but that's something you should think about later.

If we lose the war, the country will perish, so we have to focus on everything there first.

"Hmm...... well, that would be good. But is it 40,000..."

"Yep. Less than I thought. We managed to bring it in our favor."

This one has double the number of soldiers. Normally, it's too good a defensive side.

"Lord Fritz, I tell you, double or triple the difference in numbers, but you better not be chronic about one thing"

Gertrut said with a tough face, blaming Fritz for his spare time.

"A good strategist is something that doesn't fight a losing war. If you can't win, don't try, create a winnable situation before you try. Of course, sometimes the situation doesn't allow it. Fight there from the king, if you are strictly ordered not to give way, or if throwing it away without protecting the main ground makes it strategically extremely disadvantageous and difficult to rewind, that kind of situation you really have to fight. But Yuri Howe doesn't apply to that. The regime is sure to be gripping and unshakeable, and there is nothing else wrong with attacking it next year. Yet now they are gathering soldiers to attack. Because I see it as winning."

………

Fritz, who was insulting the man when he saw the little fat man in front of him throw up an argument, had an idea to eat.

"A mediocre soldier, he leads 40,000 and just hits 80,000 and scatters soldiers. I don't visit any of those futures. Yume, don't expect it."

"... Yes"

When Fritz replies,

"- Whoa, excuse me. That was a story Lord Fritz didn't need. Sometimes, when you're obsessed with thinking, this is what happens."

"Really?"

"I love to think about war. I hate to move my body, though."

I see. And I thought Fritz had a point. Is that why you have this physique?

"... it's a talent you need to be able to think about war all at once. Especially in papal territory."

If that's the kind of person this man is, it might have been convenient for the Galilee Coalition rather that the epitaph didn't come.

Because the competent incompetence of the Epitaph may cause trouble with the army of the Qur 'an rather than problems.

Emotions of good or bad sometimes transcend reasonable judgment.

"Well, yeah"

Gertrut was thirsty or drank the water left in the glass.

"I honestly don't quite contradict Lord Epitaph, who is keen on religion. But you use it with a strong focus. For me, too, only Lord Epitaph can put me in a position to lead the war, so the ideological creed is laid aside and followed."

"... I see"

Fritz was a little surprised as to why he would expose such an inside.

"Well, that's why I personally have no religious objection to Kokolu. We intend to do the best we can to prevent our army and the Dragon Imperial Army from clashing. But if you keep it close, you won't avoid end-of-the-life trouble. The faction would be helpful if you let it go."

"... it"

Fritz understood what Gertrut had said earlier, reading, so to speak, his own fears.

"It would help if you could do that. Of course, the faction is going to make arrangements to put them away."

"Yes, thank you very much"

"So can you tell me the estimated date of arrival of the Dragon Imperial Army and, if possible, a map of the region? The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Coalition is a General of the Galilee Coalition, but I want to keep the strategy in place while it doesn't extend."

"Of course it is. The Dragon Imperial Army is scheduled to begin arriving in three days. Let the map deliver the copies immediately. The detailed terrain of the planned enemy area is familiar with the Galilee reconnaissance department, so you should take a map and ask."

This man serves the war. As a politician's intuition, Fritz felt that way.

Epitaph, too, probably uses him heavily because he feels it.

"Okay. Bye."

Gertrude took his seat.

"I'm tempted to take any more of Lord Busy Fritz's time, so it's time for you to excuse me"

"Really?"

Fritz stood off the couch after him without pulling back. It is true that we are busy.

As I stood and watched Gertrude try to open the entrance door in an attempt to drop me off until I left the room, the door sounded gong,.

It was the sound of a door knocker I had recently put on.

"Go ahead."

And Fritz says, the door opens,

"Wow."

A woman clerk who came in gave her a surprised voice when she saw Gertrude standing at the end of the door.

"Excuse me."

Almost in a similar position to her former Nossett, she came to Fritz's through next to Gertrut.

"We have received a letter from the enemy forces."

And whisper in your ear. It would be to avoid Gertrut asking.

She put a folded letter at Fritz's disposal. The wax is peeled off.

"-? By what route?

It was there that Fritz questioned. If it's such a classified document, it shouldn't touch her eyes, even if it came from a local coalition city.

"The... in the government mailbox. I brought it here directly because the contents didn't seem like a prank."

"Okay. Needless to say, don't say anything about the contents."

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

And she shitty and exited.

Fritz opens the letter so that it doesn't look like Gertrut.

If it's a paperwork of sorts that you'd rather not show, you can have it exited. But it didn't seem that way.

Lord Gertrut.

"Yes."

"Yuri Howe offered to see me. To me and you. How do you like it?
