My country, Grandisiah, now accounts for almost 80% of the territory of the former Dracos Empire.
After all, the text is wrapped up in the form of a halfway line between the old Empire and the Kingdom of Orvance.However, our main powers are monsters, and most of our residents are monsters.Some elves and lovers, and then my family.
And the next challenge that came to me was such a part of the "not" elf.
"This is...."
"A plea from Lute, acting village chief of the" Magic Forest "elf settlement....."
"Hmm... I've said something difficult again..."
An elf settlement where we first visited and I became king and promised shelter.
In the first place, our nation-building began there.He occupied the Elf settlement of the "Magic Forest" and the nearest city of Lafayette, and named it Grandisiah.
The days of inability to move for about two years continued, but now that we have seized most of the territory of the Dracos Empire and ruled it, I think it has become enough territory to name the country well.
But when I lifted Lilkara the Demon King from the curse and welcomed him as my companion, the monsters gathered abnormally in the Grand Dissaire.As a result, humans have left the country one after the other to become refugees, fleeing to the neighbouring and allied kingdom of Orvance.
Fortunately, with the advice of Drake and the mediation of Jessica, the Kingdom of Orvance decided to prevent the exodus of its citizens by differentiating the land west of Hydra's Seki into a human home and east of Hydra's Seki into a monster home.The policy was generally successful and settled down in the form of settlers who opened up old villages that were just wasteland and were settled there by Orvance regular soldiers.
But that didn't solve the problem.
The refugees fled the "Land of Monsters" Grandisiah and fled to their neighbors.However, the place where they are settled is, for the time being, Grandisiah territory.There are regular Orvance soldiers stationed there, but they are by no means Orvance territory.
Conflicts of perception with such refugees have spread across the board.
After all, this petition is coming from the Elf Settlement in the "Magic Forest".
"... the Magic Forest is Grandisiac territory, right?
"That's what we're aware of, both on this side and on the Orvance side.The Magic Forest is the border with Orvance, and from the city of Rafah to Hydra's Seki, it is Grandisiac territory. "
"But... the inhabitants of the Magic Forest feel like they belong to the Kingdom of Orvance, right?
"Yes, we were short on this."
The problem is the "Magic Forest" trees.
That means the refugees are logging one after the other.
Whether you're building a house or building a wagon, you're going to need wood.And the largest forest in the vicinity is the "Magic Forest".And since most monsters are now gathered east of the Grandisiah, it is a forest where there are no monsters, leaving only the name "Magic Forest".
Certainly, even ordinary people are all-you-can-cut.
"So... do you think we should mow all the trees in the woods?
"I've heard many villagers say that if there's a forest like this, they won't be able to get support from their home country when something happens."
"... even though my country is this way"
"That's a confusion of perception... a land pioneered by the Orvans and protected by the Orvans... and certainly regarded by the people as Orvans territory."
Ha, and a big sigh.
Even though it's a lot of trouble, people are more troublesome when they come together.I didn't expect Orvance soldiers, who were hired for money to accept refugees, to have this effect.
The resulting plea - "Please, stop the felling of the forest by humans" - was written on parchment and sent from the elf settlement.
Alisa.
Ah.
"For now, let me suggest... can you move from the 'Forest of Magic' to another forest?
Well, even with me, I intend to continue to get along with the Kingdom of Orvance.
In the future, I intend to make various transactions and develop streets connecting countries.Now that there is no big road between us and Orvance, we have no choice but to go to Orvance through the "Forest of Magic" or through another country.
In the future, there will be a lot of people coming and going, and I was advised by Jessica that it would be better for the elves to move from the "Forest of Magic" to a safer forest.
In response to my question, Alisa returned the traffic. [M]
"... I think it's difficult.For generations, we were born and raised in that forest.The soul is born from the forest and returns to the forest.The tombstone for humans is the tree around the settlement for us. "
"Really....."
"Of course... if Lord Noah calls, he will obey.We were saved by Lord Noah.As long as it is the word of the savior of life, I will never stand in the way.But.... "
"Still, you'll be dissatisfied."
"... ahh"
I think it's all I have to do to force them to obey me.
However, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like Elves to be convinced.
It's just...
In the future, it will be difficult to keep having elf settlements in the "Magic Forest".
"This rumor is already spreading to the adventurers...."
"Yes, adventurers are brilliant at making money."
"People are cutting down trees… If that information is passed on to the adventurers, there will be more adventurers entering the" Magic Forest "."
"Yes... unfortunately, that story is already flourishing in the city of Lafarge."
Drake says with a big sigh.
Natural fortifications, where powerful monsters prevented them from marching - this was the "Forest of Magic".
But now that the monsters have disappeared, there is no one to stop them from marching.
In other words, nobody is defending the Elf settlement right now.
"Drake, what do you think happens when the Adventurer finds an elf settlement?
"Women and children will be slaves, old people will be slaughtered.Slavery is forbidden in Grand Dissaire, but it is still very expensive in other countries. "
"I see... for now, let's send the monster to the army elf settlement.Tell Gilanka to take the Elite Goblin Legion on duty.It's probably tough just for monsters like you. "
"Yes... I know my old comrades."
The Magic Forest has an elf settlement.
We're not the only ones who know that.
Drake once came with two S-rank adventurers and knew where they were.
"'Iron Ball of Destruction' Randy Jackman.Sherry McClane, The Seven Wise Men.At least these two know where the elf settlement is. "
