Vol 13 Chapter 252 (1/2)
Sevens: The Kingdom of Faunbeux
The Kingdom of Faunbeux
… The Kingdom of Djanpear
Having acquired a promise of cooperation, Novem’s party discussed matters with Jules
How , but the main issue was how the soldiers of Djanpear would fare on level ground
Numerous mountains made for mountainous warfare, and with their sea, the soldiers could fight adrift On their unique terrain, they could aths And precisely because of that, whenever Bahnseim tried to invade Djanpear, they’d always throw in several times the resident force, and face defeat
Losing their war potential before they could cross the mountains, and even passed them, the climate and environment were so different, there were many soldiers ould fall ill
But this time was the opposite, where soldiers would be sent out from Djanpear
Noveuards nearby, enjoyed some tea as they spoke
“My apologies We hadto results, ill be assisting you But the manpoe can put out is fifty thousand at most And more will be harsh There is too little time”
Supply, equipether In usable numbers, Djanpear currently held fifty thousand
Noveards to that
“That is greater than our estimate Pardon my insolence, but I had anticipated thirty thousand from Djanpear”
In the warfare with Bahnsei with around fifty to sixty thousand troops So Noveht they would only be able to prepare thirty to forty thousand on top of that While there was little level ground to be found, it was a plentiful land
In the past, Bahnsei from trade To the land-locked Bahnseiain at all costs
And the country that had continuously turned the tables on the one another And Djanpear was a country that, while skilled on the defense, wouldn’t assertively invade others Rather than saying they were satisfied with their bounds, Noveht it more that they weren’t confident in their offensive prowess
Jules didn’t try to hide anything, as he sipped his tea
“The sky’s been looking rough over Bahnseiinally, I wanted to spend more time, and prepare a hundred thousand”
Miranda’s eyes turned sharp
“I can’t think that’s a nuh?”
As she determined that based on the country’s scale, Jules hed
“We want some flatland for ourselves Bahnsei countries will start into a scramble for its reht there would be movements so soon”
Nove his forces ready for that moment to shave away Bahnseim’s land
“Truly, one hundred thousand is a large number But with that alone, Djanpear’s objective–”
“— Is an expansion of land And to hold a voice once Bahnsei my expectations in that area onto your leader The price for our collaboration is land, and a say”
Miranda nodded
“Certainly, we can consent to that But do you have no worries towards battle on level ground?”
Jules nodded frankly
“You’ve a point If ere fighting onould lose I’m confident we could keep company a foe three or even five times our size To us, the mountains are the same as a fortress all around But when it comes to flatland, it really is worriso them We won’t be a hindrance”
Able to freely traverse the s But there was no guarantee that all battle would be in places they favored
And because of their special environment, they had few horses No cavalry to speak of, their arh there wasn’t a doubt those foot soldiers were strong
Noveether, and addressed Jules
“Understood Then next is the chain of conize Lyle-sama… Lyle Walt as the supreme commander”
Jules nodded, but he stuck up his index finger to put out one condition
“I mind it not After Cartaffs and the four nation alliance have recognized him as such, we cannot be the only ones to refuse But can I put out just one condition?”
Miranda asked cautiously
“And that would be?”
Jules spoke with a smile…
“I’d like to have a drink with that Lyle Walt When I heard of him, he piqued ht?”
After thinking over it a little, Novem took up Jules’ condition…

… Novee loaded onto May
A letter containing the internal affairs of Djanpear After dipping the pen in a vial of water-like liquid, and writing with it, the letters quickly dried, and becaible
Watching over the process, Noves
Near quilin-form May, Eva tilted her head
“Hey, is that really necessary? Wouldn’t it be faster to leave a verbal transirls?”
The liquid was so it to write invisible symbols, Novem explained it to Eva
“It’s all in the preparations And we’ll be properly using this method later on, so we have to check and see that it works alright”
Valkyrie Unit One who’d accoly at the letter Unit One alone boasted the sa in the overly reserved build of her chest
“Kuh, e’re much more useful than some bloody letter…”
Mirana also wrote so on a blank sheet with a special ink She inserted it into the pouch around May’s neck
“It’s important, so you just have to bear with it And did you tell Lyle that May was co over?”
Unit One made a pose, and spoke expressionlessly
“Of course He has already entered Faunbeux, with hostages frootiations I’ve informed him of the rendezvous point”
May shook her head
“No, as long as we’re close, I can at least make out his presence, yyou know All I have to do is feel for the Jewel he carries, anyways”
When May mentioned the Jewel, Novem looked down a little
(Why… do the ancestors deny me, I wonder I do want to meet them so)
I there was some sort of reason behind it, nobem raised her face, and went into preparations…

Entering Faunbeux froot into contact with the lord charged with the stretch of the border
From Cartaffs and the alliance, we had prepared a nu of Faunbeux
Under the feudal lord’s surveillance, we spent a few days in town to wait for a reply
In the lord’s castle, looking out at the castle town I could see out of the room I’d been afforded, I muttered alone
“The Margrave’s land was the same, but this area really is similar”
Atrave’s territory, and the town on Faunbeux’s border were quite similar
Different from my homeland and Centralle, that sort of air There werestructures, and while it’s not like all of it was reot
There, the Seventh explained
『That’s because it’s not like everything will change just because the one in charge does There are iven fifty, a hundred years, perhaps it will be dyed by Bahnseim』
The Third’s opinion was similar
『It’s land stolen from Faunbeux, so it’s only natural it’s sin or ruler shi+fted, that doesn’t oes pop Push it, and there’ll be quite a few rebellions too』
The Fifth, re
『That’s right There are always things you could call the rules of the land There are often reasons they shouldn’t be changed, and it’s quite a hard field, you know』
Milleia-san spoke of her own experience
『When I married off, the differences in their ue memory of it, but I was told off by my husband a bit This is why country bu Quite a bit on my eyes as well…』
The seventh laughed
『Right, he did say so like that I kno the story ends, so I won’t say anything, but it really was an aunty-esque result… truly an aunty-eesque result』
I wanted to ask just what had happened But I got the feeling it was so I shouldn’t pry into, so I stayed silent
After a knock sounded on my room’s door, Monica and the others came in Before that had come, I had confirmed they were there with the Skills, so I didn’t particularily have anything to say
Monica relayed the reports from the Valkyries
“Chicken dickwad, it seems May is headed our way A latter has been prepared to confirm that previous matter”
In the roo on the sofa Shannon extended a hand to the baked sweets on the table
Aria sounded worried
“Shannon-chan, your reading and writing are up to par, right?”
Clara sounded a little nervous
“There’s quite a bit of insecurity, but she’s been especially enthusiastic about it this day So I think it’s alright to trust her”
Having co worry I turned my eyes to Shannon
“Shannon, we’re counting on you It’s all on you”
Afterall the eyes around, Shannon puffed out her cheeks
“Then place some more credibility in me!”
The vital point was to come We needed Shannon’s power by all means A moment later, the lord of the land personally dropped by our room His eyes as he looked at me were a little doubtful I was a man of Faunbeux’s hated ene it
“We have ers It seems you’ll be able to have an audience at once I can prepare you a carriage, but… shall I?”
As we didn’t have a wagon or carriage, he was being e was despite our lack of any of those
I refused with a smile
“Thank you The sentie permit, or any other necessary forh”
The feudal lord nodded
“… Is that so Then I shall prepare them at once”
Not wanting to talk with , the lord soon left the room
