Chapter 614

Episode 614. War and War (6)

Returning to the fortress, Kania gathered the people in charge and held a meeting.

“In other words, the Principality of Elben is now acting according to the will of its collaborator?

Is that what he said?”

“Does it sound like it was written?”

What Swen handed over to Kania was a brief note with some content.

It was written by summarizing the current situation in the Principality of Elben.

Even if I couldn't know the details, it was enough information to figure out what happened roughly and whether it was causal or not.

“Isn’t this false information for deception?”

“no... ... That's probably not it.”

Margrave Feltain first denied the speculation.

“There is something suspicious about the present Duchy of Elben. It would be reasonable to see it as true.”

“But we don’t know what their circumstances are.”

He knew the circumstances of the Principality of Elben, but that wasn't even information that would change anything now.

How do you reflect that in the current situation?

“This situation is not their intention, so please kill me? Isn't that your intention?”

“Hmm... ... It doesn't.”

The Margrave of Feltane rested his chin on his chin and agonized.

As pointed out, their situation is not part-time.

Aren't they in a situation where they are attacked by them?

This is information not worth considering.

“... ... Is it really like that?”

However, Kania kept her mouth shut and frowned as if she didn't like something.

“You don’t understand.”

The Marquis, who roughly grasped her intentions, spoke as if he understood.

“I wonder if there is another way other than fighting blindly.”

“We are under attack. There is no reason to be considerate of them.”

However, other commanders did not admit it and denied it.

No one can say who is right or wrong.

The Marquis Feltain took a deep breath for a moment, wondering what he was thinking, then fell silent.

And with a sigh he opened his mouth again.

“Hmm... ... But then the premise might be slightly different.”

“Marquis Feltain? Any thoughts?”

“If this information is true and most of the Principality of Elben are reluctant to hang out... ... There is a way to delay each other's blood poisoning.”

“... ... uh? there is?”

Kania made a blank face.

So did the other commanders.

“No, rather than a method, it is to take time. It's not a very good method.”

“say it. What?”

“Isn't it that simple? You can do it like this.”

Margrave Feltain spoke calmly of the method.

“If the other side is fighting reluctantly, there is no need for this side to accept the fight.”

Why do you think you have to fight forcibly just because the opponent is attacking you?

Margrave Feltain quietly pointed out that fact.

“... ... huh? how?”

“Like this.”

The method proposed by Marquis.

Upon hearing this, the commanders were frightened and stopped him.

“Wait!”

“Nonsense!”

“Anyway, it goes too far.”

Margrave Feltain's proposal was more out of common sense than unconventional.

don't force a fight

How to make that possible was the problem.

“It cannot be tolerated.”

“What will you do with the King’s criticism?”

“Obviously, I will bite and stumble on this matter later.”

“... ... But I won't shed blood. Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with fighting like this.”

“No, let’s do that.”

It was Kania who made the decision.

“Cania-sama?”

In short, the amount of food eaten is enormous.

If an ordinary human wants to use this monster, simply operating a battalion-level monster will cause the country to stumble.

Gas mileage is not that good.

With the Caduceus' own food production plant, you can barely get enough calories to keep these monsters moving.

Well, it would be barely used in this war.

“Anyway, there were quite a few people of different races. hmm? According to the data, that is definitely the flag of the Royal Castle side of Kelia, right?”

“... ... Right.”

As a result of examining the military ranks on the side of Kelia from the front with perspective from a distance, there is a royal flag in the center.

“Let’s see if you really brought them all. Tsk tsk.

There is no use.”

“Good guess. If we defeat them, it will be easier for them to surrender. It's simple.”

Bouton confidently judged the time to charge the monsters, confident in their superiority.

Do not strike first without dignity.

The moment Kelly's army crosses that line, it's just a matter of stepping out and stepping on it.

“Now then, let’s go and subjugate even non-humans.”

All beings living on this planet are subject to submission.

This species is no exception.

Former Kelia United Forces.

The army, which had gathered only the elites of each race across the whole of Kelia, was safely arranging the display and waiting for the order to go out.

And Queen Hetia herself went out to participate in Kelia's main army, dressed in armor and armed.

It's not just her.

Representatives of each race also gathered here with thorough preparation.

“Where can I see...” ... oh wow that's really terrible Is that a complex number or something?”

Hetia looked ahead and frowned.

To be honest, I am disgusted that I will appear in my dreams.

“... ... I knew it through the report, but seeing it in person is pretty horrific. It will taste bad.”

“That’s good.”

For some reason, the representative of the elves joked and helped.

“The problem is that we are destined to fight that terrible monster ourselves soon.”

The elf representative sighed and replied while exchanging contact with the other elves.

“Then wouldn’t it have been better if you objected?

What nonsense are you all agreeing with?”

“Of course we have to fight. A monster like that is undoubtedly unacceptable.”

I would rather fight, even if defeated and annihilated, than surrender.

That was the unanimous conclusion.

“What are you okay with? You can win.”

Of course, I don't intend to die fighting.

In the future, Kellya plans to continue for 1,000,000 years.

“By the way, don't they have any clue yet?”

“... ... well? There doesn’t seem to be any visible change right now.”

Even after coming here, the large army of monsters did not show any change.

Thanks to that, I was able to calmly refine the army while slowly checking their existence with my eyes, but it was also embarrassing.

Isn't it the same as standing still, saying that if you want to jump on it?

“Or are they not under the illusion that we will surrender?”

“How about that... ...

“???? Queen.”

At that time, a harpy who was acting as an observer flew in and called Hetia.

“What's going on?”

“A monster. come.”

“... ... one animal? Huh? What kind of joke was that?”

only one? What kind of mockery is that?

“Would you like to deal with it?”

“Wait and see. Probably not meant to attack.”

According to reports, the monsters are powerful.

It's not enough to wipe out the entire army with just one.

Usually if you think about that intention.

“... ... Is it the Chit messenger?”

Hetia clicked her tongue and said she would go herself.

Soon, the monster that ran alone stopped in front of Kelia's army.

Hetia stepped out without hesitation among the soldiers who were wary of pointing their weapons and fearing that they would attack at any moment.

“Do you have anything to say?”
