Chapter 428 - : Verifying the Truth, and Flame Nation Dauburn (2/2)
So this is the king of Dauburn, Jaharade Beer Dauburn
And next to hi a similar outfit seated He’s around 20, I’d say? A keffiyeh on his head, brown skin and black eyes A golden dagger, si’s, on his waist I suppose he’s Dauburn’s prince
“Welcon We don’t have much, but we shall try to show some hospitality at least”
While seated in his chair, the Dauburn king urged us to take a seat as well He was s atwould clearly lack credibility He’s looking at
The Holy King and I sat down on the other end of the long table, opposite the Dauburn king He’s far away…
“To have two kings co i cut to the chase while forgoing any pleasantries It feels like he’s asking what business a king from a distant, small country has here, isn’t he
In any case, I talked about the “Schraff’s Journey”, and the reason behind the conflict between this country and its neighbor, Zadonia
As I talked, the faces of the people sitting next to the king over on the Dauburn side gradually became scarier, and eventually, probably unable to hold it in anyenerals with an imperial moustache slammed his fist onto the table
“Foolish talks! Are you trying to n of Brunhild!? The reason why this land beca we made to our God!”
“No, like I said, that’s mistaken In the first place, it was because this country’s king of that ti for a live sacrifice—”
“What do you think you’re doing, insulting even the great ancestor of our lord! A sovereign of a rural scrap country dares…! Don’t think you can get out of this rooeneral reached towards the curved sword hanging on his waist Seeing that, starting with Nicola-san, our knights also extended a hand towards their waists
I stopped Nicola-san and the others with ain
He’s glaring at us pretty severely; although, I’ll have you know I’m pretty pissed myself, okay What do you ain The one who misunderstood the words of the spirit, shi+fted the responsibility for that onto the other country, and deceived his people was the king of that ti you all for that And Zadonia had done the sa, now that you know the truth, there’s no reason for you two countries to continue to fight each other”
“Are you suggesting for us to hold hands with Zadonia!?”
“Stoparound! Why should we ive that nation of thieves!?”
A slowly stood up
“Sovereign of Brunhild It was an interesting talk, but you have outstepped your bounds There is this saying in our country: ‘A new recruit who likes to gossip doesn’t live long’ It means that those who stick their necks into a lot of unnecessary things tend to die early as a result In a lot of ways”
Iknow There’s that one in japan, “a pheasant that doesn’t cry won’t get shot”, after all
“Zadonia is our sworn enemy It’s impossible for us to make peace! It’s only when our nation has destroyed Zadonia, which had stolen our offering to the Gods, that the curse upon our lands will be released!”
“And ill that be? Ten years later? A century? Has the several hundred years of skir that awaits the two of you if this keeps up is mutual destruction”
“Cease your insolence!”
Before the Dauburn king did anything, the ieneral ed towards us
“Stop it! General Jahgil!”
Ignoring the prince, who stood up in a hurry and tried to stop hi his blade doards us
“Kohaku”
<Understood>
Kohaku, as beside er for towards us
“Guhee!?”
The i hit by the shockwave Kohaku released froed Kohaku, the retainers of Dauburn noisily stood up fro by in the corridor, also opened the doors and ju the loud noises
“I’ll say this first, but your side was the one to draw blades first I have no intentions of apologizing”
“Your side was the one who provoked us first!”
“Father! Please stop!”
Sla yelled Even if that was the case, to co had actually happened, it won’t be solved by the excuse of blood rushi+ng to his head, you know The prince to his side see of the situation than he does
“I have no intentions of provoking you I only spoke the truth And even if all that stuff I spoke about with regards to the sacrifices and whatnot are lies, do you honestly believe that your
country will survive the countless wars against Zadonia? It’s not sodom Alent can crush your country in an instant if it tries, you know?”
“Oi oi, don’t drag n”
His Majesty the Holy King, sitting next to ed his shoulders with a wry sly easy for Alent to destroy Dauburn, though All it has to do is go to Zadonia and say to theether!”, and poof The opposite is also possible for Zadonia, on a side note
As such, both Dauburn and Zadonia can’t afford to offend Alent
And even with that, one of Dauburn’s generals still ca of a friendly nation of Alent’s I can’t think of this as anything but suicidal, you know
“Ku…”
The Dauburn king’s face began showing signs of anxiety; he probably also noticed the severity of the things he did
Just as I’ve heard from the [Black Cat]’s Silhouette-san, he’s a person who doesn’t think about consequences before acting, a short-sighted king I’ve been thinking if that could be the case ever since I heard he always breaks out into a shoutingwhenever they meet Which means, the other side s developed to this stage, his next eneral who tried to slash ezas and whatnot, to try to ive us If it was someone at the pinnacle of stupidity,
“Arrest these people!”
The Dauburn king did exactly what I just thought of I wonder, does the ter as well?
“[Prison]”
“Guge!?”
“Buha!?”
Being deflected by the barrier ed at us fell down onto the ground
While Alent’s holy knights were surprised by the translucent barrier that surrounded the the vice-commander Nicola-san, were coet used to things
“Well, for now, please consider e just talked about oneto Zadonia after this”
“Wait! Are you planning to invade our country with Zadonia and Alent!?”
“This is getting stupid… We’re just going to talk to the on stupid conflicts with the other country, try looking at the people in your own lands first; soster…!”
With a beet-red face, the Dauburn king gnashed his teeth together whilemotion Hee, he’s quite skillful
His Majesty the Holy King, who sighed as he watched that, opened hisof Dauburn I ask of you to think about this more as well Thishar or a foolish king later on… Be aware that you’re standing at the crossroads currently”
We stood up, then left the roooleh the door without problem
As we left the room, General Glenn lowered his head to us This country still has some decent people left All the less wars as soon as possible
As we returned to the place where our gole towards us caht it was pursuers, but it turned out to be the brown-skinned prince who sat next to the king during theearlier I can see General Glenn behind hiive my father for his discourteous behavior And, I have a request on top of that If you are heading to Zadonia, please allowhis unexpected words, I turned to look at His Majesty the Holy King besides me, who also did the same To a person of Dauburn, Zadonia is an eneo to a place like that?
“Prince Aki we did earlier, you know It’s likely that the other side will also have the same reaction your father showed us just now And you, the prince of Dauburn, wants to accompany us to that kind of place?”
“I understand that, Your Majesty the Holy King However, I want to end this war In order for that to happen, I have to get to know the other side first In Zadonia, there must be others ant to stop this war like I do I want to forge ties with those people”
Hee He’s a lotWhen I looked at Glenn, as behind the prince, he also nodded slightly Seems like they’re serious
“Wouldn’t they clai if we did take hi here basically just declared war on us, you know?”
His Majesty the Holy King spoke in a duht Well, I don’t have any intentions of trying to have peaceful relations with this country anyway Not at the ht with us first
“Then it’s fine, I guess Does General Glenn want to couard? Well, there’s no way I’ll let hih”
“If you’re fine with ht Now then, before anyone else interrupts us, let’s transfer away froe as well I snapped ers, and opened [Gate]s below the feet of everyone involved
After a brief floating sensation, we arrived in a place sio, except all the sand has been replaced with snow Everywhere we can see is white, h, so cold!
I hurriedly cast war the cold
The cli cold in an instant For now, since we’ve contacted Zadonia several days ago in advance, let’s quickly get on the golee towards the Ice Capital, Zado
