Was it really good?
“What do you want?”
The place where King Toria's office used to be, has now been replaced by a decadent interior that has been wastedly shimmering.
When Ardis skipped the subject for the new teacher, Minerva only asked in return.
It's about the name of the country.
“Isn't that a good name?" Wisteria Kingdom. "
I'm not saying that in that way, though.
The troubled Aldis looked at Moore with his face to the side.
"You've already made up your mind. More than that, I have to make up my mind. We can't afford to continue arguing over the name of the country forever."
Moore, who could say hello, had a grudge against Aldis.
After the last meeting, Ardis, who had been asked to explain a case of the Wisteria, revealed to Minerva and Moore only that it was the name of the mercenary group they used to belong to.
But it seems that it touched something in Minerva.
Wouldn't that be convenient under the circumstances? If the former comrades of war are coming to this world just like the master, they will be interested in the name of Wisteria. If it helps to reunite the master and his comrades, it makes sense to make it the name of the country. "
Having said that, she aggressively began to pronounce the name, and even went to Moore for a ride.
Although it takes the form of holding a meeting and listening to the opinions of the attendees, there is no one who can say no if the intentions of Minerva, who has the right to inherit the Nagras royal family, and Moore, who has been acting together since the time of the escape from the royal capital, are consistent.
The name of the new country included not only the Kingdom of Nagras, but also candidates such as the Kingdom of Robles and the Successor of the Caucasian King. In the end, it was decided to settle in the Kingdom of Wisteria in a way that Minerva's claims were accepted.
“Despite saving lives over and over again, I haven't been able to thank you at all. Isn't it okay if I at least give you a little back here?"
As for Aldis, he didn't mean to sell his debt, but when he said that, he refused.
In fact, what Minerva says also makes sense.
Like Viktor we met the other day, Ardis may have been sent from another world to ours, or may have had friends of his own.
It may be more likely to wait for an opponent drawn to the name of Wisteria than to search for them in the dark clouds.
If you think about it now, it would be better to start a new mercenary regiment in our world, calling itself Wisteria, than to move around asking for information as a mercenary of the current.
And Lorna said, "Is Al the commander? Isn't that impossible personally?" It looks like you'll be laughing at me with your nose... "
That's right. You must obey Her Majesty's wishes.
"I'd like Her Majesty to stop..."
Minerva turned to Moore in a confused tone.
"That being said, do you want to keep calling out to the lady?" Even if it's just for this occasion, Kyle is loudly saying, "Please think about your appearance in the official place." "
“We need to be in an outward-looking shape, but aren't we as good as we've always been, General Greysta?”
"Wow, is that it?"
Moore, who was called a general because he wanted to return, had a disgusting expression on his face.
Moore, who was small but had military power in his hand, was naturally called to the rank of general when he was forced to set up his system as a nation.
The person claims to have “a more casual position,” but no one else can allow it.
Maybe I should call you Lord Greysta, too?
"Oh, you're joking like that, too." If you don't mind, I'll set up another seat for you in the general position. A (...) Le (...) De (...) Yi (...) Su (...) Sir (...)? "
Taking advantage of Minerva and making fun of Moore, Ardis takes a painful counterattack.
"Stop it, that's it. I'm not an aristocrat."
"I would say so." Once the Kingdom of Wisteria is established, you will be the king of nation-building, no matter what you think. The town of Grok has grown and this Toria has been dropped by the power of Ardis. In light of the precedent of the Kingdom of Nagras, it would be reasonable to refer to the count or the marquis. "
Moore's words were never taken lightly either.
In any world, the kung fu of nation-building is met with great pride. A sermon is a remarkable example of this.
Wrinkling between his brows, Ardis silently appeals to Moore's future.
Aldis doesn't hate being an aristocrat himself.
Certainly, the privileges and authority as an aristocrat would be a great weapon in some cases.
However, the rights as an aristocrat naturally come with obligations as an aristocrat.
It must be Aldis's shackle to fulfill his purpose.
"Captain Greysta, please forgive me for that." Master is in trouble. "
I wonder who was saved by Minerva's aid ship.
"... I guess so. It is certainly important to consider how to survive this situation now. Because there are enemies everywhere."
Moore switches the conversation.
"The Empire of the South in the northern Alburn. The monarchy's occupied territory is close by Grok. Are you going to be on the side of... a city-state union?"
Minerva answers Ardis' question.
“Yes, because it's too far away from the Ecclesiastes at the western end of the continent and there's very little human interaction.”
"At least I want to join hands with the city state coalition..." It seems like you're finally being cornered over there, too. "
According to Moore, the city-state union, under attack by the monarchy and the imperial army, is not only the largest city-state in the west, Calves, but also two or three city-states, most of which are under the control of the monarchy.
Both factions had a big opening in their battles, and it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Calvus fell.
Naturally, opinions are expressed as to what to do when we are working together.
Meanwhile, since there are no other opponents that the Wisteria Kingdom can work with, even if they are unreliable, they can only become valuable allies in the City-State union at this time.
“The existence of a national union of cities is necessary for us to survive. Even if they don't, the Robles Alliance will eventually attack us, and the City-State Alliance will have to endure it as long as it can.”
After the fall of Calvus, the Empire and the monarchy turned their backs on either the Holy Land of the West or the Kingdom of Wisteria with the Ardis.
Watching the city state union die with your fingers on it will only lead to a further deterioration of the situation.
Aldis can see that too.
"That's why my Wisteria proclaims its founding, and at the same time, I want to join hands with the Union of Cities -- strictly speaking, with the City State of Calvus -- and join forces to become the Robles Alliance."
"I understand the policy, but..."
While demonstrating a certain understanding of Minerva's words, Aldis has a question that comes to mind.
"Calvus is about to fall, isn't he?" Can't you just send envoys back and forth to Yaga and sign alliances? In the first place, the road from Grok to Calvus must be under enemy occupation. ”
"Because of the circumstances, I will try my best to eliminate the formalization and make reasonable efforts. Only a small number of people will be sent in, and they will be selected as envoys, but also as potential reinforcements for the Robles Alliance.”
I understand that I need my strength at a time when I have a small amount of elite fighting power, but at the same time, I don't think Aldis will be able to negotiate like a diplomat.
"...... I can't make an alliance with an ambassador."
Minerva continues to explain to Aldis.
"I'll come myself about that, so don't worry." If only the Reinforcements were in charge of the Master-- "
"Minerva is going to Calvus!?"
Aldis intercedes with his teacher's ironclad thoughts.
"It's not a situation where you can send envoys back and forth, is it?" Even though it's just a decoration, it's probably the quickest time for the head of state to come to Japan. Of course, I'm going to take a few clerks who actually talk about it. "
Minerva is followed by Moore to supplement the description.
"Fortunately, it seems that a man named Nicole, who was escorting Malida, has been working around the corner, and he has talked to Calvus' Foreign Affairs Department." Even if it was over there, I still wanted to have a few allies. It seems to be positive for this story. "
Nicole?
"I wonder who he is, that guy?" I can't believe I can take you to the heart of Calvus. It might be a family of merchants with a lot of power...... or maybe a third son of an unexpected nobleman. "
Although there is a crisis of exile, the talk of forming an alliance with an emerging country that is not yet in good shape is moving forward positively.
If Calvus didn't have considerable speaking power, it wouldn't be possible.
Aldis thinks of a guard swordsman with deep green hair and eyes.
He felt like a man who could not beat Moore, but his insight was certain even if he was just a mercenary.
Kenshin seemed to have mastered a solid leader, rather than learning from an actual battle like Aldis.
I don't know what kind of person Nicole is from, but it doesn't matter if it's beneficial to the Ardiths.
But that's probably no reason for Mareda to do that.
With a deliberately large sigh, Aldis gives up disagreement and switches his mind to a constructive approach.
“Okay. My job is to guard Minerva and destroy the enemies that attack Calvus?”
"I won't tell you to destroy it." However, it would be helpful if the armies of the Empire and the Monarchy could give us a blow that would make us unable or unwilling to move for a while. Well, it sounds like a ridiculous request to me, but... would Aldis be able to do it? "
”... if it wasn't for someone like me”
“No kidding, there's not two or three like you.”
Aldis had a face that did not float in contrast to Moore's bitter smile.
The figure of Viktor that I encountered the other day was reflected in my brain.
Like Viktor, it is not unlikely that anyone else is in our universe.
And there is no likelihood that they will not be in a battle against Aldis.
“I can't stand out, and I'm sorry, but try to keep the number of people you take to a minimum. I'll leave the selection to you, but I don't think Aldis alone will be enough for the guards and reinforcements.”
"... how many clerks are you taking with you?"
Depending on the number of people, Aldis, Rona, and Neret could fly in the air.
If you don't go down the street, you'll be less at risk of encountering enemies, let alone if you fly and move around, you'll be able to hide somewhere during the day and move through the night.
"There are four of them, except me."
Minerva answered Aldis' question.
"Maybe five of them with Minerva in them..." Aldis gave a troubled expression.
There are a few more of them than Aldis and the others alone.
If you are a child, a woman, or a man of small stature, you can only hold and fly if you are an average adult male.
"I'm choosing everyone who can ride."
Aldis asks again what Minerva said.
"Riding? Can't you take a horse-drawn carriage?"
"Yes, I plan to ride on my own so that I can break through when I have to." That's why we ask that you also select people with the best riding skills. "
In that case, Aldis puts the arithmetic on the road in his head.
If everyone can ride, it's better to think of them as horseback riders engaged in covert operations rather than as members of the mission.
Avoid enemy-occupied towns and streets, and avoid unfortunate encounters by advancing in as few places as possible.
All you have to do is select personnel who have experience fighting beasts and monsters, and food on the road will not be a problem for Aldis with a gate from the start.
“All right, let's get this picked out by tomorrow.”
While saying that, Aldis thought of a few candidates and began to consider who to leave behind and who to take with him.
