D-Da on!
Sheville Polansky started to blink his eyes, confused at as happening
Fro Chul-In’s army
From the North, Baruk Al-Yusuf's
If he just waited as this went on, he would definitely die
What could he do when he was stuck in the ht between the current top-ranked Lords?
“Milord!”
The soldier continued to give his report
“The Lords of the Iago and Cher help… they both said that the battle will start to at the very latest…”
“Stop, stop!”
Sheville Polansky shouted at the soldier giving the report
“I understand, so shut up! You’rethatWhat a, and fro Chul-In?”
Sheville Polansky started to scream, terrified at this abrupt turn of events
It made sense
If he were to send reinforcements to the south, the north would be insecure, and the same vice versaIt was impossible for him to support one side
“What do I do… What do I do…”
As the situation got worse, he had to think of a plan quickly
But the proble
“M-Milord…”
Hesitating, his secretary, Octanus, spoke
“I think… you need to quickly make a decision”
“Decision? What decision do Ifrom both sides! I can’t help anyone!”
“T-That’s trueBoth the Iago and Cherh to deal with the terful Overlords… I think that it’s all over”
Octanus was right
According to their scouts, both territories would be conquered by to if it was quick, or the day after tomorrow at the very latest
“Milord… At this point, I think that you will have to decide between trusting either Baruk Al-Yusuf, or Kang Chul-In”
“Decide? Do you want me to surrender to those two?”
“N-No, sire”
It seemed that no matter what the situation was, Sheville didn’t want to surrender
<hr>
“Then what is it?”
“Rather than surrendering… offering a truce would be better”
“Truce…?”
“If this situation continues, it’s obvious that Baruk Al-Yusuf and Kang Chul-In will clash in our territory”
“Yeah…”
“If that happens, wouldn’t Kang Chul-In and Baruk Al-Yusuf simply take our territory? To them, we can be conquered at any time”
“What?! You… No, noEheh Sheville Polansky was extreed Octanus to continue on
“Then what if we ask either Kang Chul-In or Baruk Al-Yusuf for a truce? If we ask Lord Kang Chul-In for a truce, and then ask him to help defend our territory when Baruk Al-Yusuf strikes…”
“Ho… So you’re saying that Kang Chul-In will recognize the threat that is Baruk Al-Yusuf, and ally with us?”
“Yes, MilordAfter all, it’s true that for both Kang Chul-In and Baruk Al-Yusuf, they feel threatened by each otherThe fight between the 1st and 2nd ranked Lordswouldn’t it be easier for the Lord that uses our territory in the fight to win?”
“Oh! Exactly! Perfect!”
As this was quite a believable idea, Sheville Polansky nodded
“However… we still need to be cautious”
“Hmm…”
“Even if one of the two Overlords decide to ally with us, we don’t knoill happen at the end of the warWhat if they turn on us after? And not only that…”
“Not only that?”
“We also can’t be sure of in anywayIf the Overlord we ally with loses, then our territory…”
“!”
“That’s e need to be cautious in our decision, Milord”
“I-Is that so”
This was also a difficult decision
If he htest mistake here, it would mean the end of Sheville Polansky’s life as a Lord
“Kuhum… Such a difficult choice…”
Sheville Polansky
“How about if we put a leg on each of theets to our territory first…”
“M-Milord…”
But, Octanus disagreed
“If both of the Lords are trustworthy, then we should definitely do thatHowever…”
“H care of our territory, right?”
“Exactly”
“Then, we should ally hichever Overlord seems more trustworthyIf the two Overlords find out that Milord eighing the pros and cons of allying with them… I’m afraid that Milord will be hunted down”
“Hht”
Sheville Polansky nodded
“Please think of just keeping our territory, MilordThat will be the easiest way”
“You’re right! I don’t want to lose my position as Lord”
