Chapter 434 (1/2)

16-28 Garleon Union

Satou here I wonder when did wars begin to mainly turn into information wars?

I guess it's only natural, there's no point in a a weapon that has a good coainst your ene forces many times over

『–Do you mean for me to betray Garleon Union?』

『Hahaha, not at all The thought of te your majesty to violate the union charter never even crossed our mind』

Some quite a timely conversation reached my ear

On e, I discovered one place that was holding this scene while I was using space ate if there was any discord in Garleon Union

Though maybe it's only obvious since I chose a place with the most suspicious individuals around

A highly nervous gentle nobleman continued their talk in the spectacle shown by my [Clairvoyance]

The noble who's supposed to be wanting to take the leader position

『King of Gaboz, it has always been on our 』

『In other words, you want to return Garleok City that was once turned into a democracy by the hero? Pusan Garleok?』

I see, the nervous gentleman, Pusan-shi+ is a descendant of the former Garleok royalty huh

Looks like he's also an underling of the [Skeleton Archduke]

Map information is hell of a cheat as always

『It's nothing like that at all… We only want to return to our rightful position And then with the guidance of the strong king of the union, your o toward an unprecedented future』

How do I say it, it truly is a depraved noble-like persuasion, all talk with no substance

『I get what you proposed』

『Then! You'd be our supporter, wouldn't you!』

In contrast to the all-s had a cold expression on his face

『I have no idea what you're talking about Heiz, he's a traitor of the union Arrest and deliver hiress』

『Should we send only his head?』

『No need to waste our salt Let the guys over there deal with his head』

『P-please wait, Gaboz king! With you as our leader–』

The guards took away Pusan-shi+ as still trying to convince the king

『Fool asn't even worth a cloasting ive me the report』

『Yes The spy that we sent to Skeleton Archduke has fallen on their hands』

The king snorted displeasedly to hear the head page's report

『However, the [Pigeon of Blessing] the spy carried has brought back news』

『Hou, just what you would expect froic tool』

–Oh, those terms sure tickle one's heart

If I'e Tower is another nareat temple of God Karion resides

I' it already

『And, what does it say?』

『Yes, the Skeleton Archduke is just a puppet of demons, and the demons intend to attack Garleok City as well as Garleon Main Temple to obtain the [Golden Wheel]』

『Hoal is the [God's shi+p] huh…』

The [Golden Wheel] that showed up in their conversation is instolen

『Youof Liberty bunch?』

『No, they don't seem to be demon lord believers』

『Fuuys won't play a part in this, can't we?』

The head page slowly shook his head before continuing on

『We still do not know for sure, but there is a high chance that they have slipped in a the mercenaries hired as escort fleets』

『Then, the escort fleetshuh…』

『It pains me to admit』

That ht be a bit bad

Since two third of Garleok Union marine forces consist of the mercenary escort fleet

–Well, I can think up a way to deal with theh

『Our country will take a wait-and-see stance』

『Understood What should we do about the escort fleets?』

『We cannot possibly turn all of theh importance with our own national escort vessels』

The head page who has received the king's decree runs out to deliver the es

And then, the king looks up at me

『That's the gist of it We'll leave the rest to you, break a leg』

Looks like he noticed that I was peeking through space ic

Well, he's still a king who rules over a City Core regardless of how petty

He apparently thought that a , not h

“What's the matter?”

“It see to raise a rebellion”

I replied to the asking princess Sistina

Itthough

Afterward, I tried investigating other cities too, but all of theray, none plotted to betray the union byuse of pirates

I personally thought that there would be at least one traitor a them, it was a bit unexpected

『Your excellency archduke~ your acting earlier was splendid nano』

A female pirate with heavypirate

The latter is the Skeleton Archduke, a male human with a skeleton-like face–no, with a skeleton mask worn on his face

『Now the pirate union has been successfully formed, and Garleok City will be destroyed just like your excellency's wish nano』

『U-un But, was that really okay?』

The voluptuous fe man

Since it doesn't only apply to her chest, but her entire body, I'm not really envious

『It's perfect nano』

『O-oh good… Hey, how long should I keep doing this?』

『Until the real Skeleton Archduke comes back nano』

I see, this young man is a fake huh

I thought he's the real thing since he has Skeleton Archduke title

However, there's no other Skeleton Archduke within the known Map

『It's okay nano You can definitely do it nano』

『B-but, crashi+ng an island of ice into Garleok City and then sinking it with swar the confusion, is that really possible?』

I see, that ht here for that purpose huh

『No worries nano The real Skeleton Archduke can control even de a hole on the bottom of a warshi+p is–』

In the lared at er here

『–See tom here nano』
