Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

Lezard has five enemy nations.

First, Gehenna and Nemes, two neighboring cities in the same Christian city.

Claris, the sovereign of Lezad, is hostile to Alto, the sovereign of Gehenna, and Tervi, the sovereign of Nemes.

Even in maritime trade, they are hostile to each other and compete for commercial areas, so they have a bad relationship.

However, because they are of the same ethnic group, there is no war until the nation dies.

The more we fight, the closer we go.

The next two are Persis and Pofenia.

This is not surprising, as the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states have been on war many times.

However, Persis has not reached the West Tethys Sea, so it is unlikely that he will hit Lezad.

Conversely, Pofenia may collide violently.

Pofenia is a short distance from the Adernia Peninsula, taking over Trithiceria, located across the continent, with Christians.

The Greeks of Adernia, which are also front lines to Trisiceria, are, of course, always under threat from Pofenia.

However, it is not an imminent threat because it is not currently at war.

Lezard's biggest enemy today. It is the kingdom of Belvedir.

There are a number of small states between Lezad and the kingdom of Belvedir.

The large number of small nations in the south is due to the upheaval of Christians and Pofenians coming to the local Adernians and colonies.

Between the kingdoms of Lezad and King Belvedir, there is a small Christian Adernian state, both of which have taken control of the area.

Even small nations will switch quickly depending on the situation, so it will not be settled.

This is why Lezard wants to form an alliance with our country.

Belvedir has a population of about 100,000. Lezard is about 60,000.

The army is poor because Lezard devote much of its national power to the navy.

Therefore, if you hit from the front, Lezard's chance of winning is thin.

The relying home country cannot move, beware of the Persian Empire's suspicious movements.

But if we can form an alliance with our country, the story will change.

You can pinch and shoot from the north and south.

At least Belvedir is attentive to our country and can't do everything against Lezard.

That would be Lezad's aim.

"I want to see off the military alliance."

I kicked Lezard's proposal.

Disappointing colors are visible on the faces of lawmakers.

But he looked up immediately, as expected.

"Is it okay to tell me why?"

"I don't want to inspire the king of Belvedir, because we and the king of Belvedir are not hostile."

The country of King Belvedir is a neighboring country.

I don't want to mess up the relationship.

I don't want to set up a foreign country, even though the country is not yet organized.

Even if the kingdom of Belvedir is far less powerful than Japan.

And merchants who go to and from Lezard always pass through Belvedir.

It is severe when the border is blocked.

"But it would be okay if we had a treaty of friendship. We would declare neutrality in the dispute between your country and King Belvedir."

"Is it neutral ... I understand. Let's start with a friend."

A handshake is made between me and Clarice's chair.

Friendship is important.

It's like starting with a friend or like a lover. Do you like to start with friends first because you like it?

"Now, about trade. When Japanese merchants enter your country, they pay a lot of customs duties. I want to eliminate this."

It is a condition from Lezard.

In other words, only Claris merchants should be treated specially.

Tariffs are a source of income, but I monopolize paper and salt.

We will also sell whiskey and vodka.

Therefore, I think that tariffs can be eliminated.

Even if the tariff goes away, we will still take sales tax.

Tax revenue will eventually increase if more merchants come.

But it's also free tariffs.

"It would be good. Instead, we ask for full cooperation on the Greek technology and manuscripts."

"I understand. Let's do good."

Almost everything is done now.

The rest is like a bonus…

"That's what we can do with this ... Can you tell us about the situation in Pofenia and the situation in the East Tethys Sea? We have gathered it as it is, but we alone have limitations. I'd be grateful if you could do it. ''

Information gathered from the Greek merchants already knows that Persis is building a large fleet and conducting large-scale military exercises.

It is rumored that the third Persian-Christian war will begin soon between Greece and Persis.

Although far away from the Adernia Peninsula, its impact is evident.

If the Greeks were defeated by Persis, the power map of the Tethyan Sea would change dramatically.

I know the information and there is no loss.

"Yes, I understand. I will tell you as soon as the situation moves."

"Thank you. Thank you."

This concludes the work at Lezard.

Next, visit Nemes and Gehenna in the same order to do the same diplomacy.

Although the two countries do not make a declaration of friendship, they will enter into a treaty similar to Lezard in economic areas such as tariffs, technology and human resources.

The two nations didn't want to be beaten by Lezard alone, and I've been actively sending love calls since I became king.

"Um, are you going to Gehenna after this?"

"Gehenna is after Nemes, but will definitely visit. What happened?"

Ains suddenly asked.

I think I knew I was going to visit all three countries ...

"Beware of Gehenna's lieutenant, Abraham."

What do you care about ...

Episode 86/5: Newlywed

"Hey, Alex. You don't have to go to see?"

"what?"

Alexius and Melia's elope was successful.

Shortly after about Trisqueria, he entered the colonial city of Greece, and from there he moved to Adernia in three days.

The pursuit from Pofenia was completely scattered.

The government of Pofenia expected the generals and sorcerers to rush down, so he set up a siege net quite seriously, but all missed.

Pofenia stopped the search in a month.

It's not enough time to chase those who fled forever.

However, the prestigious Pofenian Barkas are still looking for Alexios with all their abilities, but they cannot be guarded.

The run-off was relatively successful.

In the first place, both are soldiers, so there is planning.

He bought land for his private property, secretly moved to Lezard, and bought slaves to run a farm of a reasonable size.

Of course, his level of life was several levels lower than when he was in the army, but since their lives were originally modest, neither of them had any complaints.

"The new king of the kingdom of Rossais. It's not like it's the first time that the king of Adernia has come to the colonial city of Greece.

Rumors of paper supplies being exported by King Rossais were widespread throughout Lezad.

Now, the land of King Rossais is an attractive market for merchants in Lezad.

It is a welcome mood because the citizens of Lezard had no bad feelings.

"Ah, rumored. On the way back from the war with the neighboring nation, he said that he did not dismantle the army and just slashed the opposition with a surprise attack. That's terrible. Few kings can end civil war in an instant Yeah, soldiers and royals hesitate to kill their brothers. "

But the new king of the kingdom of Rossais did this by uplifting the soldiers in the victory.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers created the air that could not be ruled out by the overlords.

Alexios appreciated the new king's skills.

"Yes. It was today when I thought it was noisy."

"Yes, do you go to see it?"

"No, it's good, because I'm not interested in that much."

Alexius then turns his gaze to the book he was reading.

It's a eastern manual.

The pain of a needle pierced Melia's heart.

The fact that Alexios is reading the Military Manual means he is still in the army-war.

"Hey ... do you regret it?"

Alexius looks up at Melia.

After a suspicious look for a moment, he hurriedly closed his book.

"No, I don't regret living with you at all."

"But you regret leaving the battlefield?"

"No ... yeah, to be honest, yes. I seemed to like the battlefield quite a bit."

There are things that humans notice after losing.

Although……

"But I'm not going to return to Pofenia. It's hard to fight for that country. Congress often comes to the battlefield, so I missed victory because of that habit. Generals who have lost at least once are fine and will be sentenced to death.

Alexios shrugged.

Alexios has a very weak patriotism for Pofenia.

Melia doesn't know why. Don't worry, but don't overhear what you don't want to talk about.

But it's easy to imagine that the cause is reluctance to the unfriendly family.

Alexios and his family are very bad friends.

Alexius' family is a house dedicated to the souls of Pofenia, so the aversion to that house may be directly linked to anti-homeland sentiment.

Melia believes Alexius and her family have not heard of the reason for their discomfort, but the cause is Alexius' eyes.

Alexios is a so-called odd eye ... iris heterochromia.

There is a tradition in Pofenia that children with different eyes on the left and right are cursed children.

Melia speculates that something had happened there.

However, from Melia's perspective, Alexios's family is irrelevant.

There is never forever to meet. Same as others.

Melia is an orphanage. To be precise, she doesn't know the face of her parents because she is from an orphanage, a facility that separates a child who is a magician from her parents and makes it a true magician.

I don't want to see you separately. It's only a problem to have self-proclaimed parents.

So I can't sympathize with the general feeling that my parents are important, or the hate that I hate like Alexios.

"Do you want to play a general in Lezard?"

"Well, maybe it's a temporary request, but there's no guarantee of loyalty."

The presence of Alexius is known in the upper layers of Lezard.

Alexios was not found in Pofenia in the first place, thanks to the cooperation of Lezard's senior management.

Depending on the country, the Christians like the word democracy, equality and fairness.

That's why we are favored by those who have run down.

However, it is largely because the superiors of Lezad are cooperating with each other because they are cards for the Barkas, a powerful nobleman of Pofenia, and excellent generals.

Since Lezard is a nation of merchants, it is hard to gather mercenaries, but difficult to command them.

If there was a special occasion, the upper level of Lezard would have thought.

"And you are the most important to me. The second most important thing is here."

Alexios touches Melia's stomach.

Melia's mouth softens.

The two lips touched.
