The Empire of War and My Strategies - Until We Can Have The Most Powerful Country Ever

The next day I headed to the floor with Ira with a weapon.

I wear light and thin armor under my clothes for once.

Very uncomfortable considering the person's face, but it would be better than keeping silver in your chest pocket.

Only Raven, Gare, Fio and Lydia were on the floor.

Raven, Gare has a weapon. The Talk Sisters' escort.

This is the situation you asked for. Boulder Lydia.

So far, I can only curiosity about me if I look anyone in the eye.

...... great. Incredibly.

Oh, Fio seemed unhappy.

Maybe it's because they're taking Ira like a handout.

... This girl is a little nervous.

And when I stood at the last seat, closest to the entrance, and waited a little while, Karma and Grace came into the room.

Come on, here we go.

I make sure the whistle feels in my hands and feel calm.

From now on I have to cross the most dangerous bridge of my life.

No matter how calm I tell myself, I still beat fast...

... I shouldn't be what I was before either.

I went to the battlefield to be able to remain calm on these occasions.

I am mentally stronger. That's why I'm fine. Let's believe that.

"Then let's start talking. First of all, Lydia, I need a status report."

"We are showing both Oreste and Ubalt marching this way. The number is fifteen thousand for both armies. Apparently we're talking, let's attack them at the same time. It just seemed unexpected that Lord Karma would be returning so suddenly, so I took the time to prepare and I saw him coming out four weeks later. I think this is Lord Karma's style."

"Become! Too many. Yikes. 10,000 should be the limit for both armies. More than that, we don't have enough weapons and money. Did you do a proper research?

"Naturally. We are definitely assisted by Viviana Wellia. No, my hands are fast inside. It's what I do. Of course, there's enough food."

"... I thought it was a disaster from the start... so far? Dan. Lord, can we still make a winner of this? If I could really make it, I would naturally reward it thick. But if you let me out, I'll tell you now. No, I need to ask you something before I do. You expected me to be the king's guardian, didn't you? That was Zanza's death, and you expected me to protect Master Kent?

Ooh, the Talk sisters are looking at this one with a very strong gaze.

The other humans look stunned.

If I did decide to go as far as that, would the predictive capability holder be the same?

It's not in the boulder. I was expecting it.

"No way. That prediction, as I said when I gave it to you, is what I wrote in case it sucks. I didn't think it would be a big problem to get to the top of the talk if it didn't come out. And at the apex of the present kingdom, you're first with the Emperor's guardian, aren't you? That's why I wrote it."

"... well. Then I was convinced."

Everyone looked reassured.... No, do the Talk sisters still seem suspicious?

But thin. Yeah, well, you can't imitate that to a junior official.

Even if I could, I wouldn't tell you, would I?

Vulnerable people hide their abilities.

Or did you look like a human being who would proudly say, 'It's all in my plan' for my birth?

Ma, I don't care... Well, let's see what we can do over there first.

"Please let me know before you tell my story. How does Master Talk intend to deal with this?

"Let's just cage castle. Originally, the number of enemies was up to 20,000. If it were us, we could collect 30,000, but with all the bad reviews flowing, it's impossible to collect them, so only less than 10,000 of them are here now. Still, if you cage it, there's a good chance that the food will run out on that side, which is the Expeditionary Force, first. But in this state, there is little chance of winning. That's why I expect you and Lydia."

The current situation seems to be accurate.

... Come on, what happens.

"I know you can live up to your expectations to some extent, but there are conditions for that. That's Karma giving me the right to decide how to move my territory in the future. We'll be able to work with each other while I have a decision to make."

"What... to? You're telling me it's going to stand on the eagle? It sounds like a crazy word..."

"Right. You can take it."

"Ha... I'm disappointed. I didn't expect you to throw up such paranoia in a position like yours. You seem to be touching your mind.... but conspiracy is conspiracy. Gare, Raven, Ira. Get this guy. Keep him alive for once. I can't expect this, but I haven't heard how to make a winning chance yet"

Right.

At the same time as Karma finishes, I fly all the way down towards the entrance to see the movements of the three people I've just been called upon to do.

Hold a whistle in each hand at the same time and prepare to blow immediately.

If it's a right whistle, run where you're ready to run.

I don't want to blow the whistle on the left, but I plan to come here and tell you that a prairie man is an urgent messenger and that my emancipation is a condition of cooperation.

It all depends on Ira's movements.

And that Ira was... pointing her back at me and putting her weapon against the two of them.

"Ira, what are you going to do! The man is a traitor, we need to hold him back!

"... I will protect Dan. I'm not gonna let you catch me."

"What the... Ira, you betray me!... Dear Karma, what do we do? If we're going to kill Ira, we should call Lord Rusty."

"Oh, Lord Ira!? Please wait, Master Karma, Lord Ira is deceived. The man over there lived in Lord Ira's house to see what kind of manifold he used, and in the meantime he cheated a little bit. No difference! Please, give me a chance to convince Lord Ira to take up his post!

"Don't make a scene, you guys! Everybody freeze! Ira...... why? Did the guy behind you throw up some paranoia about standing over your sister? Why are you sheltering? Please, give me an explanation."

"... sorry. I promised Dan. So we have to protect it..."

Right... do you really keep your word, Ira?

I'm here because I thought it was quite possible.

But when it comes to reality like this... there are things that come in.

I know you won't be thanked for saying it's to protect Karma and the others.

Even if I can't find another place to accept it, this is destroying the place myself.

Naturally, yes.

With all my sympathy, Mr. Ira would feel uncomfortable, too.

It'll be good, Mr. Ira. I will respond as much as I can to your high feelings.

"... No way, Ira, I didn't expect you to betray me. I certainly thought it would be sentimental if we lived together. But... why? Were you dissatisfied with me?

"I... can't believe I'm unhappy with Karma..."

"Wait, Mr. Ira. I'll explain. Master Karma, why do you think I sent you back here to help me? You are equal to Death as it stands. You can only be a fool if you thought you were loyal enough that a junior official even called your own house to help you.

I wanted Ira to protect me in order to live in this messy world. So, as I taught you, I also taught Ira my predictions for the future. And I was going to ask you to run away with me, using the trust I had built up when your death was near. But instead of being my subordinate, she wanted me to help you.

Betrayal, etc., is outrageous. Mr. Ira is a benefactor to your life. And then I'm next. If you think rationally, you'll see. "

Things are different, but I don't have the right to tell you more.

Karma. You know you have to die.

Come on, what do we do? Can you take reason? Or die with pride?

"You're a benefactor of life, and so on! It was a tough situation even when I was in Rand. But it won't change at all in this state. Or are you gonna tell me you can make a winner in this situation?

Whoa. Be cool for a second, Grace.

If I'm completely unsubstantiated, there's no way Ira is still following me.

I really appreciated you.

I'm going to count on you if I succeed in that. Hold on tight.

"What about Mr. Grace like that? If you have any hands in this situation, it's not my turn. Let me apologize and leave. I'm sure Ira would be delighted if she didn't have to go under my command."

... Has anyone moved outside?

I can't hear the whistle that should ring when soldiers are gathering outside.

There's no way Karma hasn't noticed the hand that collects the soldiers, and I didn't think it would be impossible to send a signal without being noticed here...

Can't you give instructions or are you willing to talk?

It's not a bad situation.

Good for you, Karma. I'll help you while you obey. Don't waste Mr. Ira's dedication.

"... I'll make an advantage out of diplomacy. Lydia is here too, so she can create more advantages than fight her big army opponents from the front. If only one of Oreste and Ubalt can be stopped, the winner will come out"

Oh, do you use Lydia?

Yeah, Lydia, what are you gonna do?

I thought this phase would always work if you had one thing in your belly against me.

Everyone, including me, is critical.

That said, I didn't even think it would be necessary to do such a small job because such a genius would get something from the Count of the Border... Her thoughts are speculative.

"Lord Grace, I'm actually Dan's subordinate, too. Once you give your opinion, there will be only one way to do this. but I have to say bad bets for minutes. So if you say so, I'm leaving."

Woo...... did Lydia have the same idea as Grace?

I hadn't noticed.

Diplomacy... you did have that hand.

After all, my local power doesn't extend to these guys and holes are everywhere......

"Oh, Lydia, even you? Dan! You meant to do this from the beginning... No, there can't be such a fool... how could someone like Lydia be under his command? What cowardly hands did you use!

"Oh, what a terrible thing to say to you. Let's just say your people don't like your eyes. If you looked closely, you would have known it was a masterpiece of heaven."

No, you should be glad to say Yingjie in history... Or so on and on......

Whatever it is, there can't be...

What the hell is this... what kind of liver balls are you playing? I didn't know you were joking in this state.

The three of you are still armed.

What a pain in the ass to fix my expression.

... they're all having so much trouble reacting.

Calm would have returned, and I can't say assists......

"Er... let me tell you something, Mr. Barca is a misunderstanding. For some reason, please give it to me the other day. Well, Mr. Karma, what will you do? Do you give me the right to decide? Or do you do something on your own? Oh, I have a guarantee from Barca that my thoughts will prevail over Karma's."

"... I hear that you are not adamant about standing on the eagle. And yet, why are you holding me there? If that's a good idea, I'll be happy to accept it and reward you."

Oh... calm is back... no, have you been calm from the start?

Excellent. If things suddenly change to this point, I'm pretty sure I could be more wolfish.

Should we pay more attention to Karma in the future?
