“You can't even outflank the enemy! ”

“How long will you leave the safety of your kingdom to foreign mercenaries?!" ”

The criticism centered heavily on the citizens affected by Elizabeth's strategy.

Not only that, fortified cities are officially calling for action. Peasants who lost their homes in plunder and arson fled to the Great City, and the city's security and environment were rapidly deteriorating while hugging them.

Why does the city need to spend money to nurture rain citizens? The homeless are wandering the back alleys of the city.How long will the middle of the kingdom insist on Earth's war? In the beginning, it's not normal for a foreigner to be in control....

An explosion of complaints strikes Elizabeth's position.

The court of Sardinia is in trouble. It wasn't the war on Earth because the royal family was so happy. Despite the subsequent misfortunes of the capture of Fabia, the defeat of Piacencha-Parma, the defeat of La Spezia, the defeat of Genoa, the Royal Court lacked the ability to spin again.

We had to buy time until reinforcements from foreign countries arrived. Earth war was a suboptimal choice to overcome the worst. However, what could be different from the declaration that 'I will temporarily give up the territory of the Kingdom except the Nodes'?

Whoever entered the world war had to be blamed immensely. Elizabeth must have left right here. ‘I am a foreigner anyway. You can take the blame, but you have no political position to lose. I will carry the complaints of the people on behalf of my allies.... ’

However, the level of complaint was too severe.

Continental power: September 17, 1512. While the whole of Sardinia was battling against Sardinia for bringing Elizabeth down to the rank of Commander-in-Chief, a group of troops landed in Genoa.

“Welcome to Sardinia. Your Majesty."

“Nothing is more disturbing than the welcome you receive. ”

An army led by Henrietta de Brittany, Queen of Brittany, anchors you. That number is 5,000. It may not be big enough to decide on a big country, but I truly welcomed it with open arms.

because 5,000 are all cavalry.

He was a cavalry in the Kingdom of Britain, not any other country. I knew how terrifying the power was. Brittany's cavalry was able to break the enemy solo without the support of infantry, and the most noble word for it was "thug."

“I feel like the war is already over because the king is coming. Hey, I heard yesterday's colleague is the enemy of the day, but I'm so relieved that yesterday's opponent is the enemy of the day. ”

“You still have a thick face. It's a relief in a different way. ”

Queen Henrietta sighs like a fool. I have suffered a lot in the past, but my beautiful red hair lacked a little liveliness.

Unlike the two of us who were surprisingly well-armed, the longevity men standing behind the queen stared at me with evil eyes. They were all commanders of the British Imperial Army. To them, I'm the one who's degraded, the one who wants to kill him right now.

“Haha. What's wrong with everyone's face? As your colleagues, we will go through many challenges, and we will smile at each other. Here, smile. Big smile.”

“ ……. ”

I shook hands with the commanders, smiling brightly. The commanders shudder. Maybe I've been sailing for too long and I have to pee badly. Poor thing.

By the way, I loved looking at these defeated dogs. Even if I loved him. Isn't this the price of having power?

The Lady Longgwi sighs behind me.

“Gentlemen, the palace is right. Only the enemy will like you if you divide them. Here, I think it's in our kingdom's best interest to forget the grudges of the past even for a moment. ”

“If you say so.... ”

Goddess Athena's faithful followers. I nodded my head reluctantly because the saint said a word. Well, I had no choice but to interact with a commander-class figure like a queen or a saint. There was no problem.

After releasing the poison for a day, Queen Henrietta stood alone with me.

“I got the status report. Elise seems to be in quite a pickle. ”

“It's cunning and vicious. ”

“Hmm?"

Henrietta grimaces her eyebrows with a wine glass.

“What do you mean? ”

“President Elizabeth deliberately undermines his political position. That's what it's about."

“Deliberately undermining my political position……. ”

The queen's eyes narrow.

“Dantalian, you know something. ”

“Don't you think that's strange? If Elizabeth really intends to save Sardinia, she should not bring the Anatolian Empire into the open. In the future, Sardinia will live in the shadow of Anatolia, even if she wins the war. ”

The only alliance will fall into chaos. Why did Elizabeth hold such a handshake?

“Elizabeth has replaced her diplomatic partner, my queen. ”

“From Sardinia to Anatolia...... Is that so? ”

“That's right.”

I nodded.

“Anatolia can't help Elizabeth with her bare mouth. The minimum conditions are to be adopted in Venice, the maximum conditions are…… perhaps Sardinia's division and destruction. Thus, the whole of Sardinia becomes a puppet of the Anatolian Empire. ”

Henrietta groans low.

“It's the devil's trick. Leading you to hell, not to help your allies. ”

“Instead, the Habsburg Republics will face a much stronger uprising. The great nation of Anatolia, isn't that the best? ”

“ ……. ”

Henrietta becomes darker and darker. I felt like I had realized just how dirty the war had become.

Yes, there is no loyalty to allies, no courtesy to foreigners, and no respect for the people on this earth. Deception and falsehood traverse us. Neither Elizabeth nor I care about the means for the purpose.

“Queen. You're no different. You came all this way for Brittany, didn't you? feeding Sardinia's corpse to Brittany. ”

“ ……. ”

“No, not Brittany, exactly. This is your kingdom. Success in this expedition will still bring good health to your military capabilities and silence complaints in Brittany. ”

I laughed.

“Excellent outlaw. A monarch who would sacrifice anything for power. Oh, I'm not laughing at you. I just wanted to say that friends and friends look alike. ”

“…… You're right. ”

Henrietta takes a quick sip of wine and says,

“The only thing that matters to me is the country. But I don't need a country that's not mine. Brittany is mine, and so the glory of Brittany is mine. ”

“It's good to be honest. ”

“But what are you up to? ”

Henrietta stares into my eyes.

“Habsburg is divided between the Empire and the Republic. The Franks are divided into central and regional regions. Now you want to tear Sardinia apart. Dantalian. You scatter the cracks wherever you step. …… what are you aiming for? ”

I smiled silently.

Of course, it's a division of all mankind.

Frank hates Brittany. Brittany hates Batavia. Sardinia hates Brittany. Their situation is tangled and collided, leading to violent hatred of each other to an impenetrable state.

Right then.

Our Demon Prince will conquer the continent.

He is no longer the old Demon King. Under the mist of the Habsburg Empire, I rule the Demon King's army behind me. And…….

“Why I started this war. ”

“Hmm?"

“The goal at the beginning was to cut off the support of the kingdom of Sardinia for the Habsburg Republic. I want to try and stop Elizabeth at all costs. Sardinia's support was really eye-catching. ”

I waved the wine glass in a small circle.

“Elizabeth knows that. Look what you dragged in from Anatolia. Would a diplomatic agreement like that last a day or two? It was prepared a few months before the war began. ”

A smile came out of my mouth by itself.

“Elizabeth immediately realized why I had started the war. Then you know you're the only one who can negotiate with me. Elizabeth is seducing me now. ”

“Temptation?”

“Yes. 'I have Anatolia, no matter how you trample Sardinia. How about instead of fighting me for nothing, we split up Sardinia?' And. '

The grand proposal of the ball is a metaphor.

Elizabeth and I dance on the stage in Sardinia. Who can attract more foreigners? This is the standard for fighting skill. I have reconnected the Federation of Helvetica and the Kingdom of Brittany. Elizabeth has attracted the Anatolian Empire.

The more the audience, the better. The Kingdom of Sardinia will be divided into quarters to satisfy the surrounding kingdoms. It's like having a rare steak that flows in blood sitting around the table and sharing it with each other.

The late Roddy is abandoned, and the Grand Duke of Florence is dead. Faithfulness and intelligence are fading. It was a fox from a foreign country who disappeared and took their place. Sardinia's fate is already decided....

“So I'm thinking I'll just skip it this time. You gave me a kingdom to appease one. Well, I feel a bit lacking, but I have to forgive you in good faith. I'm a generous person. ”

“ ……. ”

“If Elizabeth falls this time, the next Commander-in-Chief will have no choice but to turn. Well, if the last Commander-in-Chief dies, the Royal Sardinia will have no choice but to reunite Elizabeth. I'm looking forward to it……. ”

Henrietta looks at me strangely as I smile.

That's when the meeting ended. The mission was to actively engage other longevity commanders, not against Elizabeth's forces.

Of course, Zenova did not acknowledge the entire situation that the great city had overtaken before Athena. The royal court, in conjunction with the Battle of Athens, denounced the Kingdom of Brittany. A third party interfered in another country's war.

Of course, the surrounding countries didn't take this nonsense seriously.

─ Sardinia was the first to intervene in the Republic.

─ Plus the Anatolia Empire. There are even blindfolds and arrows.

Rather, it was a cold reaction to isolate Sardinia. I was running around trying to take advantage of the cause, and it was finally shining.

The Royal Sardinia could not withstand domestic and external pressure. In the end, President Elizabeth asked me to step down from command.

Unlike three's predictions, Elizabeth has made a clean move. Even the mercenaries hired by the royal money were gentle enough to surprise those around them. However, as Anatolia's mercenaries continue to have command, no one complained about it.

Ludovico de Sporzah is the one who seized power when Elizabeth withdrew.

It was the Duke of Milan.
