Chapter 11: Grosse Royal Family All-out-war (Without Father) -Last Part-
Leonhart-niisama activates his <war> divine protection, and noe, 300 elites, my personal platoon of 100, 56,000 de in 5 km/h
To match black mantises’ spread out skirmish formation, we use the line formation
We have almost no casualties since we repeatedly do 1 vs 5 and 1 vs 10 battles, but we lost a good amount of time
There’s about 150 kht noill take 30 hours to arrive
On the top of that, human requires rest
Even though we have <war> divine protection on our side, there’s no e can maintain our battle state continuously for 30 hours
And at that ti to Geneva at 30 km/h
They will arrive at royal capital Geneva after 5 hours from now, and it’s not hard to think that the defenseless royal capital will be trampled and devoured by the black mantises
After that, the insects with their increased nu and reproducing again repeatedly
It’s too late to realize about the threat of their enemy, which is proliferation That foolish Frank Empire
Their nuht, to defeat that kind of troubleso them before it happens
So, let’s do that
By the way, it’s different from what I talked about before, but there’s a complicated and mysterious procedure in diplomatic courtesy
Well, for sending letter to West Habsburg royal faer to send a letter beforehand Because frooodwill ambassador who sends the letter usually are aristocrats, so they do soive them a warm reception
So, noent to Geneva to deliver a personal e
Well, there’s Jura e on the north, and on the top of that we can enjoy the natural beauty of its land with Leo
Because in my previous life I always lived as a loner so I never went to vacation abroad, ood for me
By the hen I nadofried-niisaot the approval toinstantly, I wonder what standard is used?
As I thought, leaving this country alone is the best decision, isn’t it?
And after we , Maxiot is, he is a wise but unlucky person
From the west, they are intercepted by Frank Empire, from the north is Grosse and Prussia’s brother countries, from the east, the country they share their territory with, East Habsburg, and froious state, Vatican Pope State Their territory is from Geneva until Zurich and the land between the mountains, so there’s no special product they can produce from their land, and they don’t have any way to build up power Their land didn’t face to any sea too, so they are lacking salt in stock, and the salt sources are being held by the Frank Empire, so they became their vassal state, only unlucky that can be said to them
Moreover, the unluckiest is he has the wisdom to understand the truth, he is really unlucky
They don’t have any special forte nor products, so it means, their country doesn’t have any power
Born in a land with bad soil and location, a wise but unlucky person, it was my impression for His Majesty Maximilian
“Prince Karl, what do you think, a?”
That is his question regarding gathering soldiers at Bern, and using them to buy time until the reinforcements from Frank Empire arrives But what the Frank Edo the blank zone as their land
Therefore, their delaying tactic doesn’t , now royal capital Geneva is a town that can only wait its death
Just like clinging on a faint hope, no, it just like clinging on soy
“I think you’re a cruel and foolish king It just, Grosse royal family are more foolish than you so we can’t ridicule you”
Towards the remark which I consider as sharp myself, His Majesty Maximilian returns a wry smile
It’s great that lese majeste doesn’t work on another country’s royal family
“Your word is unpleasant, even reat”
Rather than some sords to the ears, bitter words are more necessary, it’s just the same with medicine
“Why did you not take refuge to the Empire?
Make do as a government in exile
Although, whether they can restore their power again or not is another story
“I love this country quite a lot Dying together with the one you love is a great thing too Even though they claim themselves as our suzerain state, their ass is too heavy Rather than being together for our entire lifetiht?”
The speech of his Majesty Maxied by a masochistic aesthetic sense
Struggle to the end is a virtue too, but the one who bravely accepts their death is a virtue too
And it’s greater for someone that stands on the top
“What about your people?”
“We don’t convey ‘we are at desperate ti army that declared themselves as reinforcements fro their border We can’t escape neither to the north nor west, and you know, there are so e, even if we succeed at passing through that, the only thing waiting us is Vatican Pope State Be killed by humans, be killed by the insects, or be killed by the mountain, I think every e choose is a cruel one”
He thinks he still have a bit of ti the truth
Because in fact, if we don’t interfere, the people in the fortress will only act as a sacrifice that can only buy time for 5 days
“That’s fortunate Because you don’t have to choose”
Towards my words, his Majesty Maximilian tilts his head
“Because you choose to be killed by insects, I want you to not inform your people, the same as before”
“……Are you, a dreamer? Delusional? Or even beyond that?”
“No, I self-proclaimed myself as a realist”
I respond it with prince smile
If it’s Sieg-niisama, he can make women and even men shen he do that, but for me, it doesn’t have any effect shi+t
“If what you said is true, our country will be quite in trouble”
“Why?”
“The nobles are fast at escaping, so they are already outside of this country, and people like that are actually capable in their job in their oay If this country survived, they can’t just coht?”
Even though they have escaped, it doesn’t mean they are traitors
It’s just they don’t love their country to the extent to offer their life
And, if they can escape from this country earlier than any other, it means they are quick witted
They are not a patriot but they are a ‘capable’ retainer
“Oooh, it will be quite troublesome, huh Then, you choose to be destroyed by insects without doing anything?”
“I’m not so foolish to not bet when there’s a chance for this country to survive However, I think you areyou said is absurd, but those words can be trusted wholeheartedly Therefore, I want to believe in it”
His Majesty Maximilian indeed smiles pleasantly
Are the one in front enuine fool that thinks himself as a hero, hich way is the same
Even though he’s only clowning or another thing si to bustle the thing
“Then, in this evening Oh right, around 5 AM, I want to show soreat attraction, so please wait at the top of northeast castle gate”
“Okay, it should be us who give warm reception, so thank you for your consideration And for the last, can I ask you one question?”
