The Robles Alliance moved as fast as I could imagine.
Within a month after Marida got the information, she started showing big moves.
The kingdom of Tria was the first to move.
They joined forces with the Kingdom of Albany to enter the northern neighboring Republic of Bronche.
The Kingdom of Trinidad and Tobago alone is not such a threat to the Republic, except when the armies of the Kingdom of Albany cross the Strait from the east.
(ii) After being forced into a frontal operation, the political system, which was originally time-consuming to determine the will, was left behind and pushed by the forces of the Robles Alliance, which invaded the border.
Meanwhile, in the south, the Sovereign Republic of San Rogel, which held Letin under control, began an invasion of the Union of Cities.
Nicole, who is in his hometown of Calvus, has received word that "in the name of the monarchy, a messenger has come to suggest surrender."
Perhaps a similar envoy has been sent to cities other than Calvus to encourage surrender.
The monarchy has fewer troops than the entire Union of Cities, but Aldis, who once fought its elite in the war against the Empire, knows it's a tough army.
At this stage, we are not showing any movement that appears to be allocating resources to the rule of the former Nagras kingdom, but behind the Sovereign Army there is no Imperial Army.
It will be a tough battle if each city and country do not come together.
"Will the Imperial Army be here again?
Asking Ardis anxiously is Merrill, the sign daughter of the Spiragi Pavilion.
This is in the Spiragi Pavilion, which Merrill's father newly opened in Glock Village.
The only restaurant (somewhere) in the village is late for lunch or at night when the whole place turns into a tavern, but now it's a halfway time before nightfall, and the only people occupying the table were Aldis.
Along with Aldis are Marida, Minerva, and Moore.
We have just gathered members involved in village autonomy to share and discuss information.
After breaking up the meeting, I was just finishing my meal by taking him to the Seragi Pavilion for lunch, which was too late.
I wonder if Merrill is free at this time, or if he's in Ardis' conversation with his tray.
When the topic reached the trend of the Robles Alliance, I asked earlier whether I remembered when I ran away from King's Landing with an uneasy expression.
"The opponent is declaring the domination of the continent, so if they know there are places outside their control, they will come eventually.
Minerva speaks of the expected future without decorating words.
"I've settled down so much...."
"I'm a little distracted to say this when I've just opened a shop, but now the King's City is getting back to life, and it's probably less likely to get caught in the fire if I go back there where the Empire is already in control."
Minerva presented one of the options to Merrill, who showed his sinking expression.
In fact, some of the evacuees who came up with the same idea left the village for the former King's Capital and the former Duke of Nilesteria.
However, Minerva could not return to King's Landing either personally or in a position to speak of it.
Her position as Duchess of Throne Succession will not forgive her freedom.
Moore takes over the story with circumstances that would prevent her from returning to King's Landing as well.
"Well, it's up to you to choose whether to stay here or go back to where you used to live.I have to take care of the safety of the village, but I don't really want to leave the village. "
"You're keeping your mouth shut, right?
"Of course I do.But hey... I say I can't stand the door in people's mouths. "
Moore laughs bitterly at Aldis's confirmation.
"It won't happen soon, but I'm sure you'll be able to keep an eye on it eventually."
"How much do you think?
Not to mention a small cold village with a population of about a dozen people, Glock Village is home to about 3,000 people.
It would be better to call it a town than a village.
It would be too optimistic to expect a spill.
"I can only say that it depends on the hard work of the Republic and the National Union of Cities.I'm sure it'll be fine as long as I look that way, but once it's done, it's highly likely that I'll look this way to wipe out the rebels in the country.I wonder if that's what you're looking at. "
"On what grounds?
Moore talked to the marida, who seemed to think of something.
"It's about time we faked the origin of heavy iron ore.I don't want to bother the buyer because there is demand in the war, but I can't be indifferent to where that amount comes from if it comes from the buyer. "
"Oh, I see. If huge quantities of heavy iron ore are on the market from places outside the control of the Lovelace Alliance, will they stand out?"
"... what do you mean?
Merrill came to Moore to convince him.
"Hmm, I mean, I don't know.Were you originally pioneered by the Kingdom to mine heavy iron ore?
Yeah, I know that.
"But no heavy iron veins were found before the kingdom lost.So for the Empire and the Robles Alliance, this was a worthless place to look.Until now. "
"'Until now' is different from now on?
So I'm going to go back to what I was talking about earlier.If you look at them, there are a lot of heavy iron ore coming to the market from somewhere.But we also know where the country's heavy iron ore originates, so we can quickly see that it was not mined from areas under our control.That said, the Republic and the National Union of Cities are right in the middle of a fight right now.I don't think there are merchants who go all the way across the battlefield to bring heavy and bulky ore.Even if you don't take such a risk, the market is higher because every country is with you.I want to sell in my own country. "
"Eh...I mean, what does that mean?
"I wish I could.Do you realize that the origin of heavy iron ore is a border in Japan that is not under our control?If we look at the information the Kingdom had, we can see that this area is promising as a source of heavy iron ore, and we are actually exploring to find a vein... "
"Oh, I see.It's very suspicious. "
No heavy iron veins were found at the time the Empire invaded.
But it's called "then," and in this short period of time, Sarah and Ardis have discovered the veins and started using the Lite Chamber of Commerce network to supply the market.
It is inevitable that the opponent will look at the village of Glock eventually.
Understanding that, Meryl blued his face.
Ardis only thought of the village as a temporary refuge, but it is a new safe haven for Merrill and other refugees.
It was natural to be driven by anxiety when I heard that there was a fear of being caught in the fire in less than six months.
"Don't worry.Unlike when King's Landing was ambushed, I was constantly alert, and information came in on the Empire's movements through the Lite Chamber of Commerce.At least you don't get caught up in it all of a sudden.If the clouds get suspicious, you can sneak back to King's Landing. "
Moore is right.
Whatever Minerva and Moore have reason not to return, the vast majority of the evacuees have only fled the fighting temporarily.
As long as the chaos calms down, we can return to King's Landing.
Of course, it is possible that the house itself, rather than the household goods, is missing, but at least it will not kill or capture the refugees who have returned with the Imperial Army.
"That's right...If you can live in peace in King's Landing again, you'll never get past that. "
"That's right. Even in times of need, we'll earn the least amount of time to escape, so don't worry."
"Yes, thank you, Moore!I'm counting on you!
"Oh, leave it to me."
"Well then, I'll serve my special dessert as a thank you advance!
"Whoa... no, that's a little..."
"Don't hesitate, I need you to protect me when it's time to go.Let's eat as much as dessert!
Merrill left a message and soon disappeared into the kitchen.
To Moore, who expresses his whole face as a failure, there is a gaze from three sides that seems to say that he is sad.
But the Ardis who were looking at him cursed his bad luck by seeing Meryl put four desserts on the tray.
"Hey, Meryl. Is that all four desserts for Moore?
"Rest assured," said Marida, who had already been baptized in the past two months with Merrill's handicrafts (the ultimate weapon of the Spiragi Pavilion).I have your share, too. "
Even though he knew that Meryl was not a daughter who relied on certain customers, he was an Ardis who resented the spirit of equality all the time.
"This time, I'm confident!
Aldis looks at the contents of the vessel placed in front of her as if she were listening to it every time.
It was red.
It was red until it was poisonous.
With a spoon, it shakes like a dessert known as Custard Putting by Aldis.
But Aldis has never seen a red custard putting before.
No, maybe there are desserts like that somewhere in the world, but at least it's similar to the dangerous stuff sitting right in front of you.
Three pairs of cold gazes fly towards Moore.
Aldis had no choice but to spoon a red object like putting it into his mouth, whilst poking ill in his heart at the rough man who led to the situation.
It's painful.
Even though it's dessert, it's spicy.
It was as spicy as if you had paralyzed your tongue with just one mouth.
Rather, it would be more accurate to say it hurts.
This is enough to imagine that she was thrown into her mouth with finely crushed pieces of glass and forced to chew.
Looking sideways, Marida was hitting her fist on the table while holding the spoon.
Moore couldn't move with his dead eyes.
Apparently, they're trying to relieve the pain a little by stopping the movement.
And Minerva dyed her eyes bright red and swallowed putting in tears that were about to spill.
Don't push me.
Unexpectedly, a caring word spills out of Ardis's mouth to a teacher who is a little too hard at work.
"Ne...."
Right?
"Compared to Neduro... this much..."
"Ahh....."
Aldis feels like she can't say anything to her teacher.
But that doesn't relieve the spice of malice.
Without complaining that Merrill was treating me with complete goodwill, Ardis looked at the owner of the store, who could never stop her daughter's murder.
Unlike the initial arrival of the refugees in the village, Marida and Michelle have solved the immediate food shortage problem.
But that's not why we waste food.
As soon as Merrill cooks, the ingredients are definitely gone.
It would be the role of Merrill's parents and store owners to stop it, find out what's going on, and let them hear it.
The owner of the shop, who was staring at us from behind the kitchen, noticed Ardis's gaze and hid himself to escape.
"Did you run?"
"You escaped."
I ran away!
You ran away.
The words of the four Ardis coincide.
After all, the four people who were unable to give an honest impression of Merrill agreed with the modest opinion of Marida that it was not a bit spicy, and gave a reassuring no.
On that night, Seragi Pavilion was slightly relieved of the spiciness by Merrill's standards, but still by others' standards, several people knocked down without drinking with bitter custard putting.
