The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Flattening the baked sweets and swelling her belly, Her Majesty the Queen said,

"So let's get down to business"

I finally said.

"Yes."

Okay, well, what are you talking about?

Though, I was feeling a lot soothed by the effect of warm tea and sweets.

"Actually, there's going to be a war in the neighboring country."

...... eh.

"... I see"

"Oh... aren't you surprised?

No, I was surprised.

"... is there anything up-to-date?

"Yes, it was told four days ago in an expedition from Kirchna."

And so forth, Her Majesty the Queen has said in awe.

Ha, and I almost got a shy sigh in my mouth.

If I hadn't been served tea, I might have really sighed.

"It was last July that I found out about it."

It's April of 2318.

It was in July of 2317 that I received my report. Sure.

"Yes?"

"I reported it to Aunt Satsuki, so for once, the report should be up."

I don't care if they tell me the latest surprising news about what I reported ten months ago.

"I didn't ask. What do you mean?"

His Majesty frowned.

They don't know anything.

Did some witch house come in and grip you?

I know the Witch House really only thinks about our own preservation, but can we also be so unbridled about the future of the country?

"For the past decade or so, their invasion has been shabby because my uncle killed the king of the Tirrerme god empire in the previous war. To that end, the Tirrerme god empire had civil unrest over a successor dispute, and the guys were nowhere near attacking Kirchna. You know that, right?"

"I know. The exiles told me."

This is strange information if you didn't know it.

It also fits with His Majesty's story, but it was a long time ago that I first heard this story.

Dr. Etha told me.

Dr. Etha came into exile through the Tirrerme Divine Empire in the midst of confusion over this incident.

Everyone in the other world knows the information, so they should be talking according to the circumstances of the asylum hearing.

Apparently, the former king of the Tirrerme god empire was a man who had just turned fifty at the time, a man of great faith from his men and a competent figure admired by the people.

A crusader is a fine sign that pre-construction is a demon sweep, but the actual purpose is to plunder and acquire the dirt, in short, like a hefty penny.

Regardless of the soldier who participated in the ravages of his life more than his ex, for an officer, it seems silly to die in such a battle.

I had no idea I was going to die, either, because before this the king didn't intend to die in the Crusades or anything, and although I could see old, I didn't tend to be physically or mentally ill.

But in Gowk's special attack, he died like a sudden accident.

As a result, we did not have time to leave any of the testaments and testaments behind, and the remaining people fought over bone meat.

The Tirrerme Divine Empire is a front-line country, so if this is a civil unrest, we can't send soldiers to this peninsula.

As a result, the Crusaders have stopped for ten years.

"But last June, we saw a one-off settlement in the successor dispute. The winner is a man named Alfred, the three sons of the former king. And troublesome, this Alfred, in the course of a successor struggle, caught the winning emperor in a late payment debt."

"Debt...? I'm a little confused."

I can't seem to pin it.

Don't you see?

"Simply put, you brought the opportunistic aristocrat into your side, paying for his birth, or paying him when he became king."

"The royal family owed you money?

"If it applies to His Majesty, is it in such a way that after His Majesty's death, His Highness, Carlia, fished the witch and knight with money, and drove Carol off? His Royal Highness Carlia needs to return the money when he becomes king."

"Oh, I see"

It was a slightly careless analogy, but that seemed to make sense.

"But do that, are you okay?

That's what I thought at first.

Rumor has it that the amount is an uninterrupted amount and the mortgage is royal territory.

A country similar to the Kingdom of Siyalta, where the Tirrerme Divine Empire is stronger in the crown than in the royal family, but the royal family tries to stretch its power, and the crown tries to sharpen the royal power.

This would mean that Alfred gave great concessions to the Crown in order to become King and handed over to the Crown the foundations that the kings of his ancestors had built steadily, chopping themselves apart.

"It's not okay, but it would mean you don't choose the means to be king. The power struggle there is fierce, so if you can't be king, you could be killed. If you do, you can't choose the means."

Only in the story is pride more important than life, and in fact, in most cases, one's life is treated more important.

If it is a power struggle whose lives have been put at stake, it cannot be confused.

"Really? Maybe that's what it is."

"Well, so, soon after his reign, Alfred gave the Papal Territory of Casolica a crusade-forming interview. With the Kirchna invasion, if you do well, you'll get a lot of money."

"I know that. You want money soon."

"That was last July. After the circulation to the countries, the time of the military convocation varies from region to region, but the beginning of February and March of this year. Now that it's April, the kingdom of Kirchna must have detected the movements of the troops gathered early."

"... So, where did Yuri find out about it?

"My company trades with countries across the ocean. Across the ocean, when it comes to the other country, the sailors first go to the liquor store and have a drink. Alternatively, have dinner with a local merchant. Then you'll have about a conversation about the current situation. You don't have to spend money, but that's the kind of conversation you get to know."

It sounds exaggerated when it comes to intelligence, but the reality is to that extent.

Even if you don't train a professional spy or something, the general situation or something comes naturally into your ear if you're over there.

There is information that you can't hide even if you want to, and that information is available to the extent that you reach out one step at a time.

Crusaders, for example, are the last of them.

If we are going to wage war in one country alone, we will be able to have some secrecy, but crusaders have to deal with a lot of countries, including the papal realm, for the reception of participation.

It cannot be kept secret, and for merchants and others who run the sea, it is information that they know and deserve.

"I see."

"This story, too, must have come up with the paperwork I submitted to your father."

I have a brother-in-law in the Howe family, but not in the royal family.

The handling of the information I reported was up to the Howe family, so I didn't tell them anything but the Howe family.

In the Howe family, of course, it is a well-known fact, but no public statements have been made to avoid confusion.

But Luke told me Satsuki raised it to the royal family.

This is definitely going up because it's a matter that doesn't need to be hidden, and it scores against the royal family.

"There must have been something wrong. I'll check it out here."

"Perhaps you were evaluated as having a low probability of information. Unfortunately."

It's not surprising that that happens because all those idiots who are so busy with corruption are involved in the practice.

Now that Kirchina has actually observed the enemy's movements, it's clear that this information is correct, but from what I've read, it's just "I heard it in a foreign liquor store, they're going to attack me next year," so at some point in the past, I probably can't help but ignore it.

No, I don't have a choice.

"I understand your story."

"Yes."

"But what I called Yuri-kun for today is another story"

Well, that's right.

That was a story that started out of nowhere, and I didn't mean to call you on purpose to tell me the start of the war.

That will be passed on naturally in a few more weeks, and there is no need to tell it to me at all.

"During the war, I will send reinforcements, but this will be taken from the other three generals."

The other three generals would mean three, except the Howe and Et families.

The House of Howe is not leaving, as promised, but the House of Et also has circumstances.

The Et family is of a different colour among the five generals (Fifth Braves) and protects the Issa Isle.

Getting back and forth from the Issa Isle to the mainland is a harsh story to tell you to send your troops on an expedition, because if you don't use astronomical navigation, and even if you do, it will cost you more than just transport your soldiers.

"Really?"

Well, I was almost convinced.

In a relationship of confusion of command, which in some ways seems to be a very bad hand, each has its own circumstances.

There will be few generals who want to come here and protrude and wear out their troops, so we have no choice but to jointly put them out.

But the story of reinforcements has nothing to do with me.

I'm not a knight or anything because I haven't graduated.

What's more, I'm a Howe, and I have nothing to do with reinforcements.

I mean, you're still in a position to stay irrelevant.

Could you let me use the company's ship for supplies?

"But apart from that this time, you graduate students, I'm going to build an expedition."

To?

My head turned white for a moment.

I don't know what that means.

Juvenile soldiers?

"Ha...? That, why...?

It's my daughter's suggestion.

My daughter, is that Carol?

Is he stupid?

"I don't know what that means."

And I raised an angry voice.

"Listen to me till the end."

I was pissed.

"Yes."

... Well, there's something going on.

Let me just say hi.

"Now there are two houses in the Cavalry, my daughter and Rube and Howe."

"Ha."

I replied carelessly.

"One of us is you, of course."

"I know."

You don't have to tell me.

"These three… or if Kirchna is defeated, you are the three who will fight to defend this country."

Ah.

That's the thing.

That's how you think.

I guess I got a guess.

"Fortunately, all three of us have excellent grades, and it won't mean we don't have enough units. Going to see who you're going to fight shouldn't be a loss"

"Are you a martial artist?"

I combine Shannon to create a manuscript.

"Warlord of the Games. Exactly."

Oh, you're an asshole.

Drop it.

I was sighing inside.

Even when it comes to watching martial arts officers, there are no such international agreements with KLA people, of course not.

You're the same Shan from the other side, so even if you get caught, you're instantly emancipated/repatriated to your homeland under an agreement, for something like that, of course, you can't.

If you look around Carol, the blonde Shan people will be bought and sold at super high prices in the Klu world, so they will attack you with a change of color in their eyes.

It's risky.

However, Carol and I, and maybe that Rube senior, can ride the Wang Eagle, so things are completely different from the soldiers who march on foot or on horseback.

If you're just going to look home, there's certainly no risk.

So I wouldn't even say "miracle if I could go home alive".

But it's risky enough, and it's a dangerous bridge.

"I'll have you pick out some of the best grades in the cavalry and take them with you."

"So?"

"So, what?

"That's why you called me here. If you just tell me that, Your Majesty, you won't have to see me right away."

"I'd like you to join me."

Wow.

I knew it.

Give me a break, no, seriously.
