"From what I heard from Dragon Lord, Fairy King and Daniela yesterday, sanctions against the kidnapping of the people are the main premise of this time, right?"
I didn't think the goal was to annex all of Demuro's country... what do you think? "
Sure is.
However, I believe that it is equally important to destroy the enemy capital and defeat the king of the kingdom. "
Valeri nodded.
"... hmm.
So, secondly, he said that if we annexed the Demolos, we would take over the operation of slave ships... transport ships that had previously been used by Willip's allies.
This had to be implemented in relations with neighboring countries. "
“Yeah, we have to do it now.”
"However, slavery has long been prohibited in the Demon Kingdom."
And yet, I'm going to operate a ship that carries slaves.
This is likely to be a major policy mismatch. ”
"That's right.
...... I've done the painful thing......
Valeri looks troubled.
"So, if there is... the big premise is a mistake."
The country of Demuro is the Delta.
The further you go, the narrower your territory will be.
Well... shall we set up a border at this location? "
Takeshi places a stick on the map.
"The price for the kidnapping of the people is to subdue and annex the northern half of the country.
Transporting Willip to the Allies is not something to say as a demon kingdom, but I won't forgive you if you do it again to the people of the demon kingdom.
This is the wording at the end of the war. ”
You don't want to defeat the enemy king?
Valeri asked without changing his expression.
"You can discuss it."
I just need to refresh my neck.
The king of Demuro will have relatives and relatives, so will the next king be chosen from there?
All Daniela has to do is tell the other party to get someone who can negotiate to their seat.
All you have to do is judge the political situation over there.
The demon kingdom must not say a word about the choice of the king of Demolo. ”
Takeo says.
"... please continue."
"Well, if the current King does not, if he does, he will have the acting King sign the surrender and allow the territorial devolution to take place, spreading the fact all over the country.
Then, if you move south quickly to those who are in the territory to be ceded, you will do nothing. Even if you show your intention to stay, those hostile to the Demon Kingdom will confiscate 50% of their property and forcibly move south. If you show your obedience, you will be recognized as a citizen. In the future, if you rebel (...), you will confiscate all the property of all your relatives (...), and you will write a pledge to the nation of Demuro (...) to leave the country (...).
And the deadline to cede territory is two weeks.
After that, those who remain in the country without submitting a pledge will have all their property confiscated and deported to the country of Demuro. ”
"It's a method that people resent, but... I understand what Lord Kitamizato wants to say."
It's like collecting disturbing molecules on the south side. "
“Yes, and the Willip allied transporter will be moved to the southern city.
With this, we will be able to see some of their livelihoods.
Then, prepare only one stick in the middle at the position where this indicator stick is placed, and seal the rest with a thick, high wall so that the boundary cannot be crossed.
Since the main purpose of the Demon Kingdom is to make sure that its citizens are not enslaved, it is important to set up a place where you can examine the goods from neighboring countries to the Demon Kingdom.
In order to do this, border security must be strictly enforced so that only one location is used for customs clearance and no inflows are made from other locations. "
"Is there a single entrance or exit?"
However, I don't think we can confirm whether the people who are transporting the soldiers in the customs territory are nationals of Japan, not just the corresponding Pani? "
"I guess so.
However, the soldiers and lords are watching the royal army's harsh actions this time.
There must be a sense of danger that missing the abduction of a citizen here will endanger him or herself and his or her territory.
... If there is a tribe of each lord while I am being transported, I will not judge whether it is a citizen or not on the spot, but I will protect it first.
After contacting and confirming with the capital and all the lords, we will open it if we are not a citizen. "
"I don't think you can check that quickly?"
"Yes, there's no way we can."
It will take at least two weeks, right?
Well, it could take a month or so. ”
Takeshi nods, "Of course."
No way... Sir Kitamizato, are you deliberately delaying me?
Freddy will tell you.
You're wrong, aren't you?
Delaying work intentionally is just negligence.
However, there should be a lot of procedures such as interviews in each territory for confirmation work.
So I'm just saying it's no use being late as a result. ”
"... do you think that this will delay the delivery of the package?"
"Unfortunately, you'll be late."
If that happens, the ship will be offshore and we won't be able to get on it.
I don't think we'll be able to do business, so at least we might not be able to send people who are registered in the demon kingdom on a transport ship. ”
Takeo nods.
... and the chances of protecting the people will increase.
But what would you do if you weren't a Demon Kingdom citizen? "
"... shouldn't we hand it over to the transporter?"
Well, you may have become a citizen of your own will while you're protecting it.
The Demon Kingdom is a nation of many kinds.
Isn't there a law in those countries that says, "Apply for national military service, regardless of origin or race, and we will recognize you as a citizen of our country. Correctly, we will officially issue documents after at least five years of military service"?
I will check your luggage, but it is impossible to say anything... If you volunteer to be a soldier of the Demon Kingdom on your own will, you will not be recognized as a citizen before the law.
Because we are a state of law. ”
"!?... oh! There it is! Fufufu... I was so worried.
Commander of the 1st Army, we'll see what we can do later. ”
Hah! Roger that.
"Yeah, yeah, I forgot it was too commonplace."
No, I have to thank Lord Kitamizato for reminding me. "
Valeri nodded.
