Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Episode 233: Unusual

August.

Spider thread in detail ... I was repeatedly experimenting with the production of alanya sedas (spider silk) and how the quality of the thread changes depending on the type of food that the soldier spider feeds.

Although there was little progress in quality in one month, the production of Alanya Seda was reasonably good and the aristocracy and other affluents in the country responded to demand.

If you sell it outside of Japan, it won't do you well because it competes with silk ...

In the Kingdom of Romaria, where silk prices have risen extraordinarily due to huge tariffs and import restrictions, buyers were immediately found.

For a while, I will continue to sell in the country.

You don't have to challenge a strong enemy.

Finally, coining began.

It is the casting of gold and copper coins using the technology of the Persian Empire.

Gold and bronze coins designed by Neafah have begun to roll around the country, albeit slowly.

Well, if there is one complaint, there is no silver coin.

The main precious metal in the Tethys region is silver, not gold, as can be seen from the general expression of price in the Tethys region as tarant (weight of silver).

Globally, silver has more reserves and its price is not as high as gold, so losing it is not a big deal, which is why it is chosen for trading.

On the other hand, precious gold is mainly used for ornaments and savings, rather than medium of trading.

However, it cannot be excavated from the land of Japan.

There is no help for it if you do nothing.

Well, gold coins are distributed as much as silver coins.

Well, this is enough for domestic politics.

There is no major crisis or change.

Alanya Seda and money both influence later.

Until now we have been quiet without war for about a year.

There was a risk that King Zoldias would digest the country and that if he moved too quickly he would be alerted by neighboring countries.

But I can't stop.

It's time to move.

That's why we were secretly preparing for the Second Western Conquest.

By the way, in this case, the western part conquered is below the kingdom of Gilbed, that is, the kingdom of Gilbed has priority over control.

It was just a secret agreement.

It is a secret agreement signed to break in the first place.

If you do not break it, it is rude to the promised God.

Over the past year, he has stockpiled troops, strengthened logistics units, and trained his troops.

He sent the sorcerers to the western countries and gathered information.

The diplomats, including Iar, are also working hard, and the cutting-off work in the western nations is on track.

All to kill the kingdom of Carne, the largest country in the western world.

Kill it with a single blow and expand your territory at once.

...... It should have been.

"It's tough! Your Majesty! The kingdom of Carne is destroyed !!!

I don't know.

Yes, it was around the middle of August.

The first incident happened.

Just a little, the ground shook. This is a so-called earthquake.

However, the Adernia Peninsula was not as good as Japan, but it was a land with a lot of earthquakes, and I have experienced many earthquakes since my reincarnation, so I thought that it would be a small earthquake at that time .

The next incident is the next day.

There was a sudden loss of communication from sorcerers and spies who were hiding in the capital city of Carne's kingdom.

I was really impatient for this.

We still know that one or two people will not be contacted.

However, it is impossible for the uprooted communication to be lost, except that it has been exhausted.

I hurried and contacted a sorcerer who hid in a small country close to the kingdom of Carne to find out what had happened.

And three days later, at the Senate Assembly ...

"It's tough! Your Majesty! The kingdom of Carne has been destroyed !!!"

Is it some gag?

I thought so, the magician who came to report, nice joke! I said, but the magician's face was very serious.

That is not a gag.

It was really ruined.

"Well, Raymond. Can the country die overnight?"

"Well, now ..."

Raymond shrugged.

Lymond doesn't seem to be considering it either.

I ask Bartolo and Alexios.

"Can you kill the country overnight?"

"If I could, I would give King Roselle's neck to His Majesty."

"I am also conquering Trisiceria and Pofenia and making it a souvenir."

Bartolo and Alexius shook their heads.

Then I ask Ial.

"What is the trend in Pofenia?"

"... We have gathered information from spies inherited from His Excellency Abraham and merchants from Pofenia, but have not heard of any major military action, and there was no sign of it. "

Oh yeah.

Pofenia relies on mercenaries, making it impossible to quietly organize troops.

Unless you declare the recruitment of mercenaries extensively around the world, you will not be able to gather soldiers, and merchants who have smelled human movement will run all at once to buy wheat.

If war were to occur, the price of wheat would have risen unnaturally so quickly about a month ago.

However, wheat prices tended to decline due to the effects of good harvests.

That is not Pofenia.

What happens?

Gilbed or Persis ...

No, we cannot.

The former lacks power and the latter has no motivation.

That means ...

An earthquake several days ago comes to my mind.

But I shook my head and denied it.

I have never heard of a country being destroyed directly by a catastrophe.

Needless to say, it may be a ruin. But it is impossible for nature to directly destroy human civilization.

Only humans can truly destroy the human civilization.

I want to say ……

This is not the earth in another world.

Maybe you have really blown away by a catastrophe.

Nevertheless, I feel that such a catastrophic event would not be enough with a small swing.

The place I lived in was a bit far from Tohoku, but still rocked a lot.

If there were huge earthquakes, supervolcanic eruptions, or giant tsunamis that would destroy the entire kingdom of Carne, it would be a bit terrible.

Anyway ...

"I don't think something good is happening."

"I agree."

Senators, including Raymond, nodded at once.

We are not happy enough to be pleased with the yatter and the like, eliminating the hassle of destroying.

"I don't know what's going on. Until I know the details, I don't need to say anything else. It can cause unnecessary confusion, and gather the army so that whatever can happen."

"" "!!!!" "

Members of the Diet all fell on one knee.

It was a very good decision to have the army wait about 10,000.

For, rescue requests from the western nations have jumped in.

It's not just one country and two countries.

Letters from more than a hundred nations, royals, and influential people arrived from Hayama and Hawk Mail.

The people of King Carne's kingdom went all the way north to flee, and the residents of the countries around Carne's kingdom began to flee north to spread fear of that.

It is a refugee tsunami.

The West cannot afford to leave them alone.

If they don't provide food to them, they quickly turn into enemies with weapons.

Refugees are desperate to live.

However, there is no food to support, and if all the rushing refugees are inside the city, the security will not be compromised and the worst nations could be taken over.

So they called for the eastern power, Romaria, to help.

Well, for me it's a boat to cross.

They took war and took land.

While saving the poorer people, it became a territory. Forgive me, Tehepero still has a better hearing.

That's why he sent Ron and So-yeon 10,000 troops to the western nations first.

Logistics units follow suit.

It was successful to store a large amount of wheat in advance for the war.

At the same time, he began importing wheat.

I don't know the level of refugees in King Carne's nation, but there is a fear that it's not enough just to have enough supplies.

It is best to buy and place before the price rises.

Through the Lezard's Christian merchants, he quickly began buying wheat.

However, wheat prices had already begun to rise.
