Episode 590. Declaration of War by the Conciliated
⑶ “I don't feel good. Hurry up and report this to the Marquis. And tell them that it would be good to report to the capital.”
“yes? but… …
“If you want to do it, do it. There's something strange about it. I don't think it will end with their eccentricity.”
I desperately want it to end as a meaningless trip.
“In the worst case, let's say you take a shot at their strategy into account.”
“Does that make sense?”
The soldiers were taken aback by Orth's words, but they also vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was unusual.
All of them had a similar feeling that if they came to this point, they would not be able to conclude that it was futile.
In the meantime, the soldiers reached the fort.
But what if you reach it? What are you going to do?
“Are you sure you want to climb up?”
“nonsense. Climbing the walls without ladders or ropes? can you?”
“I can’t.”
If it's an old-fashioned fort that's not even properly maintained, it might be possible.
But even that can't be left unattended.
And they're not even trying to climb up the wall right now.
After arriving, they cling to the wall as they are.
As if that was the only purpose, they collapse or collapse upon reaching it.
The soldiers who had prepared stones and boiling oil to drop them at the meaningless action look down in awe.
“no?????? no way?…
Ors's eyes widened.
aim to reach.
That's all.
Then what happened after that?
It doesn't make sense, but the worst imaginings were drawn in my head.
Ors' eyes were fixed on the strange baggage they were carrying.
“this! Guys sticking their heads out! Bow down quickly!”
But there was something he hadn't even imagined.
conclusion they will bring.
The soldiers' luggage shone white.
And the light gradually spread as if multiplying, and the ominous light colored the sky of the fortress even though the sun had not risen yet.
that day.
The fortresses on the border of the Ernesia Kingdom were completely destroyed one after another.
When each Margrave, who noticed the situation belatedly, reported to the capital and tried to investigate and respond, the enemy's main force appeared from beyond their respective territories.
Zelnian Kingdom.
Felsen Kingdom.
Duchy of Elben.
and so on.
With various flags raised, their shouts announced a dreadful day with the light of the dawn sun.
It was the signal flare that signaled the start of the war.
* * *
Same time. Reincarnated Alliance. Heriel, the leader of the group, who is holding up the signboard of the Principality of Caduceus in the Caduceus establishment, is satisfied with a report on the current situation surrounding the Ernesia Kingdom.
“Looks like you are fighting a great war as requested.”
It is rewarding to encourage them directly in advance.
A country that had previously tasted bitterness against the kingdom of Ernesia.
A country that was jealous of them but had no ability to overcome them.
They fell for Harial's coaxing and drew their swords.
Of course, you couldn't incite them with your bare mouth.
The unconventional condition of providing all materials and weapons to them while they are fighting a war.
That much is nothing more than planned expenses.
The materials prepared over the past thousand years are vast.
This much is simple.
“… … Really stupid.”
Hariel looked at this result and sneered with his chin on his chin.
“It is a foolish greed.”
It is because they know best that they did not participate in this war because they had noble intentions.
because of jealousy.
They are attached to themselves only for selfish purposes.
I laugh at that foolish look, but it's not that pleasant in my heart.
Rather, it's just disgusting.
‘As expected, they are uncivilized.'
With a little instigation and shaking the bait, it will run.
What is the difference between that and a beast?
Their ignorance of self-interest was just disgusting to him.
“As expected, human life is short, and those who live only that life are foolish and lowly.”
Anyway, thanks to that, I think I can proceed with my plan, so that would be desirable.
With this, it would be difficult for Arele Ernesia to receive help from humans except for the minimum number of troops.
Even if humans are not enough compared to reincarnated people, it is troublesome when many people unite. If you gather even a small force, it's a nuisance.
Despises humans, but does not look down on humans.
That's why I persuaded them to start the current war.
Harial took her eyes off the report and asked the reincarnated person she was discussing.
There was something that bothered me a little.
“By the way, Poelton? I would have told you to provide me with a proper means of attack, right?”
minor doubts.
That is how the countries that launched a preemptive strike on the Ernesia Kingdom penetrated the fortress.
“Why did you provide the spirit reactive shot?”
They used a magical tool they dubbed the Spirit Reaction Shot.
It is a weapon that burns the souls of creatures as food and uses them as power to create a series of explosions.
Enough to burn down a mansion even with just one human being sacrificed.
Of course, if hundreds of people use it, it will be enough to destroy a fortress.
However, it is nothing more than a tool developed at the research level - because the cost performance is not right.
Of course, I have no plans to write. I've never been told to write
“But why is that?”
The question is, why did they provide that to them?
Even Harial watched it in bewilderment.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to give it as a more properly processed weapon?”
“Ah, is that what you mean?”
The answer was a reincarnated person within the Caduceus who contributed to the field of research.
Reincarnated Poelton.
The old man, who looked nothing more than a skinny old man, giggled and answered Harial's question.
He is the one who provided the spirit reactive bullets.
This is because in this plan, the supply of goods to the human nation was overseen.
“You deliberately didn’t give me the proper weapons?”
“Is it necessary? Are you afraid of betrayal?”
At first, I wondered if they had given them too many weapons and were afraid that they would aim the blade at them again.
But do you really need to?
If you betray, stop punishing.
And for them, it's easier than flipping the palm of your hand.
“Keukkeuk. It is to see sincerity.”
“sex?”
But Poelton's answer was unexpected to him.
“They are desperate. That’s why I asked them to show their own determination and sincerity rather than simply providing it.”
Show indelible sincerity that can no longer be postponed.
Create a situation in which both enemies and allies can no longer retreat.
Be willing to sacrifice the lives of your allies to kindle the flames of war so that they can no longer retreat.
And show it to the enemy.
That is the minimum standard to receive support and the sincerity they must show.
Poelton said so.
“… … Now, does that mean sincerity?”
“Thanks to their venom, don’t the humans of Ernesia Kingdom also look tired?”
“Is that all?”
“To be honest, there are a few things that are just a hobby.”
I'm shy, but I'm confessing a really terrible truth.
“You have a really bad taste, too.”
Harial sighed.
If you have to talk about the rhyme of determination, it must be this old man's hobby after all.
It must have been an act of fooling around with material support and a position that could no longer be taken back.
“For the sake of the kingdom, I have no choice but to risk my life and run. It was very disrespectful how they writhed over that order. Or is there a problem?”
“very. I won’t stop you, so do it in moderation.”
Hariel did not blame Poelton.
It was a job I entrusted to him despite knowing his tendencies from the beginning, and I didn't even feel like raising an eyebrow at this level of work.
“It is still too early to give undeserved cultural goods to those with intellect that are no different from livestock. Well, since you've shown enough sincerity, we will properly support you.”
” Right.”
“and… … Isn't it a bad way to take out their souls as a first blow? dragging.”
They would be wary if they brought a weapon they had never seen before, but they suffered great damage, probably because they didn't think they would commit a suicide bombing.
It will definitely affect future morale.
Poelton couldn't stop laughing the whole time at how hilarious it was.
“Above all, I never forced them to operate like this when I handed it over to them. Those idiots just used it in such a savage way.”
You can offer your soul, but it doesn't have to be human.
Humans are the most powerful, but in fact, monsters and animals should be used as sacrifices to produce enough power.
Of course, Poelton didn't explain that.
“You mean you didn’t force it?”
“That’s it.”
I really wouldn't have forced it.
“… … what happened After that?”
“Of course I will. More proper materials than now.”
Now that you are on the same boat, it must be a thought that will be generously poured out.
Satisfied with the answer, Harial nodded and got up.
“Then I'll leave the details up to you.”
“I do. If so, is Harial-sama doing it as planned?”
“okay.”
Harial has no intention of going to this war.
There is no room for fine-tuning.
He has only one thing to do.
“In the meantime, I will complete my longing.”
That was the purpose of Harial's stay on this earth for over a thousand years.
“I'm going to finish the secret art of my previous life.”
I pressed my fingers between my brows while receiving a report on the current situation of each border fortress on a personal route.
“What a mess.”
their unreasonable surprise.
Simultaneously destroying the border forts through ridiculous means.
Because of that, most of the forts were half-destroyed or destroyed.
It wasn't a funny situation.
“… … Let’s try these.”
There was nothing to investigate what had happened.
Even looking at the list of countries that have already declared war, they all have one thing in common.
Contact with Caduceus.
During the last meeting, he showed signs of colluding with them in advance.
Also, those who reacted somewhat positively to their opinions and flirted with them.
“It’s completely over.”
I don't know exactly what the story came and went, but I can roughly guess the nuance.
I will support you with everything, so why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of the person sitting on the top of your head?
I would have said it roughly like this.
The problem is that the situation in other continents is similar.
The countries each of which have reincarnated individuals who have discussed cooperation with us are being declared war and attacked by humans collaborating with the Caduceus.
It is divided between humans.
“… … Is the purpose the chaos of the entire continent?”
The last thousand years ago, humans were at least united, so this time humans are fighting among themselves.
It's nasty bullshit.
Above all, I am even more annoyed because I now have a sense of what they are aiming for in the confusion.
They must be trying to put an end to everything neatly while fighting each other.
“… … The question is whether the other lords will be able to stop their invasion.”
It is similar to, but different from, the previous three-nation war.
At that time, I was also pushed back and pushed, and it became a bothersome result that I was also conscripted.
It's not much more than 3 countries now.
Isn't it already being beaten like a drum all over the border?
‘If this is the case, it will be difficult even for Ernesia Kingdom.'
There is a possibility that it will collapse in a short time.
Originally, with their national strength, it would be impossible to break through Ernesia Kingdom.
Was there no preparation period?
However, the time until the start of the war was a surprise.
Perhaps now they are supported by the Caduceus.
Even if only materials and weapons were supported in earnest, their momentum would surely change.
