751 749 Demitris Reasons (2/2)

I saw a red magic rising from my left hand. At the same time, the signs of Sibula change at once. Even now, it haunted vicious signs like a starving warcraft.

But now it's more than that.

A rapidly increasing sense of intimidation. The circle of siege grows once and for all because of the backwardness of the adventurers around us. I didn't show it in the franc fight, are you going to use a trump card? It was as if it had preceded an angry dragon, releasing an overwhelming presence.

Demitris remained in the same phase among them and was a tauntingly proud attitude. Speak to Sibula with a voice that even sounds serene.

”... Whew, Lord. I want to hear one thing.”

”What?

”The Reids kingdom is said to be conspiring and waging war on neighbouring countries such as the Kranzel kingdom, causing a lot of trouble, but what do you think about that?

”Oh? That's sudden.”

Answer me.

”Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm sorry? I'm sorry.”

The moment Sibula said that, a surprising voice leaked from many humans. I guess I never thought I'd hear such a light word of apology from a person in the Reids kingdom.

”I know it's going to be an excuse, but I didn't think we'd be this bad until we got to this country, either.”

Sibula spoke lightly about the interior of the Reids kingdom.

To sum up that story, it seems that the Reids kingdom is losing its central power because of the King's change a while ago, and the Dukes of East, West, North and South are at their disposal.

The dukes in the south and east in particular have strong ambitions for their territory and they still plot aggression against other countries. Various conspiracies would be aimed at their foothold.

As an officer, I'm disqualified from talking about my country's internal affairs in an enemy country. It can't be normal. I guess I don't really understand the area because of my low experience with negotiating matters. In the first place, he's from a country like the one you're clamping with. You must have no experience in diplomacy.

Or do you want to appeal to Laidos as a whole, knowing that too? Do you have any other aim?

Either way, I may not have been very interested in political matters for Sibula, a man of combat specialist units. I'm just sure you're angry at the way your country does. The apology has a cage of serious thoughts.

”From the centre, we have notified them to refrain from making major moves until the domestic situation has settled. I didn't think that was so far ignored.”

Sounds like the center is weakening organizationally and making the Dukes' movements undetectable. If it is bad, the personnel for the inspection sent in by the Central may have been acquired or terminated.

”Hmm...... I want to hear one more thing. Is your Lord in a position to move quite freely within the Reids Kingdom?

”You, I'd love to hear it.”

”What do you think?

”Well, you do. The six Red Knights are authorized to move freely through the country. And only a king or a prime minister can give us orders. That's all the discretion I'm given.”

Come on, isn't that awesome? Those guys with all that force, they have the authority to move whatever they want in the country? I think it would be a hotbed of rebellion if I sucked......

They are the special knights specializing in warcraft crusades, created rapidly when adventurers disappeared from the country, and they are still allowed to move freely as remnants of that era.

Maybe that's how much weight is placed on the role of hunting warcraft instead of adventurers.

Demitris is listening to Sibula's answer, nodding lightly. And a surprise word was popping out of that mouth.

”Right...... Why don't you take Non to the Reids kingdom?

”Huh?

”Grandpa! What...!

Hilt, who was down behind the walls of the adventurers, screams as he said unexpectedly. But Demitris doesn't fit in.

”Did you get bogged down here, Grandpa?

”I'm not messing around. I've always wondered. Klanzel, Berios and the rest of the country will hustle and tell you it's the evil, ruthless and worst country to do the Reids thing. But is that true?

Demitris seems to have been interested in the Reids Kingdom for a long time. The great powers of the North surrounded by mystery.

It is spoken like the root of all evil in the area where Demitris operates, and only a bad impression spreads.

But will there exist in this world, such as an evil country where only evil things live and should be destroyed? No, I won't. There is no way that evil can be said about conflicts of interest between nations, or that everything, including the people, is evil.

”There will certainly be others like that masked man. But I don't think that's all. But the Reids kingdom is an adventurer's refusal. Don't come in with information.”

It's a country with very little access in the first place. No matter how much I look into it, I guess I won't get accurate information in it.

Demitris may have talked differently if he really looked into it, but he's been somewhat interested so far.

That seemed to arouse strong interest at once when I saw those belonging to the Reids kingdom.

”So it's not calm to take you all of a sudden, is it?

”Nothing is truly understandable without looking at it with one's own eyes. From what I've heard, there's always a storyteller's subjectivity.”

”Well, maybe...”

”Besides, there are no opponents in mock warfare these days. Most opponents sink in one shot, and the resurrection takes time. But your lord wouldn't, would he?

That's what I say, I laugh niggly. If you see that fun look, don't think it's more of a reason this way.

”Kuku. Can you be a sandbag to me? Well, even this one's where I want it. I don't like it, just right for overcoming the blow”

”Then it's settled.”

”Oh, let's go fight together.”

And Demitris turned his back on Sibula and looked back at the adventurers.

”And that means you guys. I'm sorry, but shouldn't I miss it?
