Today, based on the Arcana-Oseo border, the 'world' is divided north and south.
The countries on the north side will be raided by dragons if they don't pay for Arcana.
The south side was even worse, with many countries being deprived of their national territory by dragons.
But it doesn't mean a world crisis in a real sense.
Naturally, the dragon had stopped expanding its territory at the time of some invasion.
Nor did the dragon want to destroy mankind, he just wanted the land where he and his servants lived.
The tragedy is the countries that have lost their national territory and their citizens.
If the opponent is human, the people are allowed to live once and for all, even if the government and army are destroyed.
They find value as a workforce, although they may be treated as slaves or inferior citizens.
Of course, that can't be happiness.
But they were exposed to an even harsher fate.
Even more brutal expulsions than exploitation than domination.
The people, deprived of their ancestral lands by monsters of the old world, had even been abandoned by the same man.
"... it's an abominable story"
Built on the border of the Kingdom of Arcana, the temporary accommodation of the refugees.
He manages to shed rain by putting a cloth on the household goods that the refugees have managed to bring out.
In it, there was a fairly large tent.
"The giant mountains that soar in the sky... you think it's the place where the gods live, floating far east"
"Totally... Arcana is loved by God. But you keep saying that"
There were kings on the south side who had been robbed of their land by dragons.
Everyone reached Arcana with the refugees and was denied entry.
Some young kings, some young kings. Some were old kings, even women kings.
Usually neither confrontational nor uncommon, they were shoulder-to-shoulder squeezing wisdom.
The agenda is naturally the recapture of the national territory. To that end, he intended to use any means at all.
The problem was that, by whatever means, the situation was already packed.
"... To be honest, I didn't understand the dragon's thoughts. You went out of your way to Arcana, where you had all the treasures of God."
"I know now...... I know"
Dragons are invading countries other than Arcana.
If I wanted to, I could have invaded anything but Arcana from the start.
I didn't know why I didn't, not in the face of this occasion.
But now I know.
"... no more fanning"
"No matter how many bribes you give, it won't make sense..."
"Exactly, too direct..."
"In that war, all the survivors are parties. Exactly, no one will want to go to war again"
What would have happened if the dragons had started invading without fighting the Arcana Kingdom?
What could have made the only promise and vowed not to interfere with each other?
But what was the point of that 'piece of paper'?
Conquered countries, or threatened peripheral countries, would have been desperate to fan to Arcana.
That was likely to succeed. Alternatively, possibilities existed.
Even if not, the dragons would have always spent time wondering 'Paper Piece'.
"But! You're telling me to give up!
Someone was screaming at someone.
"There is a way for a dragon to destroy a country and kill a dragon! Where are the elements that give up! You can do something about it!
The problem is that there is no such thing as' somehow '.
And no one will be here to prepare that answer.
Not all kings are smart. He became king because he was the king's son, and he was supported because he was king.
The Wise One, who had really made himself contented in the King's policy in a sense, has already been mentioned.
"... those infidels! At a time like this, why aren't you here!
If one thing is clear, the really smart guys have already given up.
Even if you have the temper to just support a dying country, you're not drunk enough to resurrect a dying country.
Even if you kill a dragon and reclaim the land, you will surely make a loan to Arcana.
Even if the dragon dies and the monster of the old world dies, the lost lives remain intact, as do the more destroyed installations.
Moreover, neighbouring countries remain equally exhausted.
I don't even have to think about how much time and effort it takes to rebuild the state from there, etc.
Leaving aside whether you can or can't, there's more to it than not commensurate with the effort.
No solution.
That was the conclusion drawn by the wise man.
The doomed nations give up and serve in another country.
Wise men are confident in themselves.
Even if an organization called the State perishes, there's no problem if you're alive.
I didn't transfer to another world, I believed that if I sold my abilities in this world I knew on my own, I could emerge again.
The country dies.
That's not unusual, and it's bound to be visited by the difference between long or short.
There is no clinging to what has now become meaningless: previous status.
Because being smart means being able to account for damages.
So are all the remaining 'kings' incompetent?
Because of his incompetence, is he just a man who gives vague instructions to others and is supported by others, who doesn't know what to do when the state loses him, who just can't help but be abandoned by the wise?
"We have no choice but to respond to what has left us."
No. It's not.
"But still, we cannot abandon our people. If we abandon the monarch of the nation, our subjects, that's why everyone dies in hopelessness."
Teachers seek solutions, even if they are powerless.
I know it's a path of misery, but it's still the king's duty to move on with it.
"... even if what happened to Arcana!
Destroy the dragon and reclaim the nation.
No matter how many 'sacrifices' you've made to it, no matter how much you've risked.
No matter how stupid you are.
"At this point, let's also involve the countries of the North. They should also be looking for countermeasures against dragons, and even if not, they should be in Arcana's foreign policy. I'm sure you're looking for someone to do the dirty work."
"I mean, you want the surviving North Side countries to get Eckezacs? But will we be able to take our homeland..."
"If you want to fight dragons and sweep monsters of the old world, the land will eventually return. Of course, I don't think it's all going to be ours, and you're going to owe me a lot, but it's got to be now."
"Right... it won't get any worse than it is now, than sitting here waiting for death..."
Strength not to give up.
It is full of stupidity.
And that's something you can never insult.
He deserved even more terrible vigilance than the clever and clean, than the cunning and meritorious.
In the war ahead, he gave his opponent a medal for the monster of the old world, inside an outside organization tempera.
Protecting ten rare magical bloodlines, they were showing off their combat abilities, which Suibok praised.
As we acknowledge, their reinforcements were greatly appreciated, although they did not mention any strategic results in flattery either.
I greeted food as a reward, but as it is a consideration for the labor involved in the survival of the state, it can be said to be a legitimate deal.
With this defensive war seeing a single success, the Arcana kingdom was paying them colored rewards.
On top of that, he had entrusted various tasks to the facades in the tempera, and had accorded them treatment as meritorious men to the occasion.
I don't know, maybe all the Arcana heads of state were privately happy inside the tempera that they came to when it came to fighting the monsters of the old world.
Humans, I feel a lifetime of ungrateful gratitude to those who have helped me when I am in need, and I resent them for life when I have abandoned them in need.
That, someone you resent for the rest of your life is after someone you feel beneficial to for the rest of your life.
Upon hearing that information, the Arcana kingdom had gathered the masters of the Tempera Ten Fists in order to draw attention.
"... can they be targeted in the case of Run?
"She's only bothering us."
Hearing the King's immediate words, they all looked blatantly at each other.
He'd heard the story, but he really hates Run.
Of course, there are no elements to be liked, so if you say you have no choice, you have no choice.
"I was feeling better when I heard that Run had been shamed in front of the public... saying something about inheriting the strongest divine sword while I didn't know..."
"The world is really sweet on genius..."
"It's insane... I only give credit to those who work hard for it to that extent..."
Naturally, Run didn't contribute to the tempera itself.
Or even if you contribute to the tempera, it doesn't mean you didn't have the lust of a run.
What if they forgive the run......
"My previous brother must have worn himself out in the war, didn't he?
"It would have been nice to have a run"
Well, that's the thing.
I guess if she doesn't fall for it seriously, she won't be rewarded as them.
As the Lord of Bathrub told me at the Festival, it is natural to hate me if I behave in a transgressive manner because I am strong.
She has been impatient with her surroundings.
"... well I guess so"
I know how you feel, the king who agreed.
He also had a lot to think about in the mountain waters, and he agreed with their feelings that were worse than he was.
If there were trump cards on this occasion, I would still have remembered The Novel of Revenge.
To be objective, there was something unbearable about a man wishing to corrupt or lose a genius girl.
Nevertheless, if the strength equivalent of a trump card is raging, you'll be scared, you won't like it, and you'll get sick of it.
"But there's a chance they'll be concerned about it, so give them some protection."
"Yeah, please"
"I might say no to the young one, but hey..."
No matter how much you say martial artist, you are not always ready for battlefield.
Until the other day, I had little experience in action, living close to a normal farmer, so I guess it's natural.
Therefore, the matter of the escort had been taken lightly.
Even though the war is over, injury is boring.
"... not far away, we're going to hold a formal game, including a preliminary exercise. Please be patient until then."
Arcana made peace with the dragon. That may be, in a way, a weak attitude.
"It is our duty to bring prosperity to our subjects who have survived the ordeal. That's the same for you, bona fide collaborators. I'll never let you lose it."
Still, it's the peace we won.
Those that threaten it are enemies if they are human and vice versa, even if they are not human.
Yes, even if you're not an Arcana person.
"Your Majesty the King... including seeing us in person in this way, is it not too much?
"That's not true. Despite the fact that you did not have a decent relationship, you came to our plight with the same strength of heart as the hosts."
I paid for it, of course.
I sent word of gratitude, of course.
But it's still not enough. If they are to be targeted, they must be protected.
That means giving back.
"Whatever your thoughts were, the state was indeed protected. Once again, we know how miserable the people who lost their land are."
I fought to stay away from it.
I thought you shouldn't.
In order not to, we must strive in the future.
To do this, the gained friend must be taken care of.
"... but then you're like protecting your little girl"
"Uhm, just don't let it get that far..."
"I could spare some time... why don't we fight too"
It is simple to say man.
I'd love to hear you say you're strong, and I'd trust you if you got the right reward, and I'd love to help if you revealed the truth.
"King Arcana, will you hire us?
The tempera chiefs were willing to eliminate the assassins with their own hands.
"Cooperate with your soldiers and discuss enemy soldiers lurking in the country... I don't think it's too bad."
