Chapter 119 (1/2)
Pursang which declared its independence from Vichy which is a combination of city-states
On the other hand Pursang, which ought to have a friendly relationshi+p, is far away froely delayed Hifumi, the feudal lord of Fokalore on who absence fro up the friendly exchange
Looking for a plan to break the deadlock of the state of affairs in such circuather new inforers, who has been sent in the direction of Fokalore, has co his office
“… The territorial forces of Fokalore have been deployed at the border between Orsongrande and Vichy, you say?” (Minoson)
Scraping his thoroughly thinned-out cheek, Minoson turned his look at the ht in the news The area around his eyes is tinged with a darkish shade
“To be precise it should be “stationed” I guess? It’s not like they have taken up a position against Vichy Their objective is to protect the territory in response to the monsters who turned ferocious, I assume”
The countenance of Minoson’s face is ghastly, but the ence indifferently
“In reality ferocious huer in said area and there have been victiuilds of the concerned areas It looks like the current uild”
“The guild it is, huh? Usually the guild is requested to deal with ed by soldiers, however that’s a complete turn-around” (Minoson)
“Haha”, with an aard laugh Minoson placed the docuator on his desk
“Come to think of it, if the other party comprehended such words like “coe Vichy into such a mess, eh…?” (Minoson)
Entrusting his back to the chair, Minoson lowered his dull eyes towards the floor
He leaks a sigh
“… Create a unit of around 50 people and have them join up with Fokalore’s feudal army Tell the the peace of the area and h-handed manner” (Minoson)
“Haa…”
Without understanding Minoson’s aiave an unenthusiastic reply
“Common sense doesn’t apply to the feudal lord of Fokalore If the other party is someone you don’t knohat they will do next, let’s at least make a joint operation in order to be seen as close by Vichy, even if it’s forcibly It will be fine if Vichy judges Pursang and Fokalore to be friendly with each other” (Minoson)
“If they let me at least use them to such an extent”, Minosonanyone in particular
If it was the ti was still a city-state, Minoson would probablyterm benefits He would have likelylike Fokalore, that is nothing more than just one district, in his own plans
Minoson ht have ended up broken by the situation of Fokalore rushi+ng ahead by oppressing and ignoring politics and thus betraying Minoson’s expectations
“There’s no time Depart immediately as soon as the formation has been completed” (Minoson)
“Then I shall go to convey this to the military authorities”
“Right…” (Minoson)
“Excuse me”
Exiting the roo towards the building where the army’s headquarters is located
“Since there’s a world of difference in war potential and practical experience between Pursang and Fokalore, even if we joined up with the treated as burden or parasites It gives a nice ring if you speak of it as support for the sake of peace, but will the sly foxes of Vichy really accept that at its head value?”
As result of the circulation ofhad risen and the closed shops, even in the streets of the shopping district, were standing out
The expressions of the people are dispirited Even their bodies and minds are exhausted by the situation in the country, which doesn’t seeree that one wouldn’t believe that we got independent just recently
“In that case, what about the army? What about the impressions? I’m currently scared of the possibility of the citizens actually starving Shouldn’t we first do so about this one way or another?”
Theat the faces of the people
“… Alright, I decided”
Beginning to walk once ain
However, what the , told to the party of the ar totally different from what Minoson had told him
“It’s an order fro a unit of around 10 soldiers, head towards Orsongrande and request an audience with the queen I will also accompany them as ambassador”
If you say that it’s difficult to deal with a party that doesn’t abide to cootiate with a party that looks like they understand said co as a without permission
“Let’s hurry It’s likely that we don’t have much time left”
Whether it was the time left until the head of state discovered his lie or whether it was the tier, who declared those words, didn’t know himself which of the two situations had no time left
“Yoo” (Hifumi)
“Eh? Huh…? L-Lord-sama!?”
“Please have the horse take a rest It will be fine to feed it so trip” (Hifumi)
Hifumi, who suddenly appeared mounted in front of the inspection at the entrance of Fokalore, nimbly jumped off the horse, passed the reins to a baffled soldier and promptly entered the city
That soldier turned away his face right away though
“… Eh?”
“Since this place’s fine, take the horse along as Lord-sama told you”
“Ah, yes!”
The soldier, who is bewildered with the reins in his hand, walks towards the stable of the castle while ti the horse as told by his superior
As result of the horse being tired it was docile and walked slowly together with the soldier while observing the dearly ot used to
“Good grief, this place has been peaceful for a while Won’t soain? With Military Director Alyssa being currently absent for the suppression can, Lord-sama will take direct command if it comes to a battle, won’t he…?”
This soldier, as successful at the defence of the city, is currently holding the title of platoon leader as one of the longest-serving soldiers who had been picked from the capital as Fokalore’s territorial soldier
