61 Episode 61: Cavalry

"Again, King Equus. I am Julia Rossais, who came as the name of King Rosais. This is Almus As, the lord of the territory of As."

"I'm Almus As. I'm here with Julia's escort and assistant."

I and Yulia bow down to King Equus.

This is the first time I have contact with a king other than King Rossais.

"Welcome, I'm the Equus, patriarch. In the culture of King Rossais, I'm King Equus. Thank you for helping my wife."

King Equus thanks Yulia.

Not bad.

"Now it's a matter of an alliance with your country ... I'm once more unattractive. My family is poor, so the grain from the kingdom of Rosais is very helpful, but it's too cheap for life. There is also the risk of turning the kingdom into an enemy: we have the nemesis Lupus, who have repeatedly invaded our territory since yielding to the Arièse, and linking them to the kingdom of Domorgar It would be a big threat. ''

Well, the reason I disagree is exactly what Muzio said.

"That's right. So what is the suggestion ... how about a mutual alliance? When the kingdom of Demorgar attacks, the Equus fights with us. When the Lupus attacks the Equus, we are the Equus. Fight with

Julia proposes to King Equus.

This is not bad. Although the kingdom of Rossais is primarily infantry, it has more troops than the Lupus.

I heard that the Equus population is about 30,000, the Arièse about 10,000, and the Lupus about 30,000.

The Arièse people are already controlled by the Lupus, so the enemy population is 40,000.

Equestrian people are said to have large troops in proportion to the population ... 70%, or 288,000.

The Equus can mobilize 21,000.

Not enough seven thousand.

But King Rossais's nation can collectively calculate over 8,000 troops.

Even without direct participation, its presence is a great deterrent.

In response to Yulia's proposal, King Equus expressed a slightly worried expression.

But ...

"It's attractive, but profits and profits hang. There's no reason to get alliances if you don't lean on profits."

That's true.

But where the return is expected.

We talked with Yulia.

"King Equus. Can I ask you one?"

"what?"

King Equus has a suspicious look.

"The next king, Equus, is the eldest son, methyl?"

I'm listening to this to break the story, and I'm not really ignorant.

King Equus has named Methyl as the next successor.

In short, it is a confirmation of the main premise of the story.

"Yes ... that?"

"How about engraving the treaty as Prince (...) methyl?"

This means that the kingdom of Rosais would recognize the throne of Prince Methyl.

Naturally, there is no right or obligation to stake the kingdom of Rossais on the issue of inheriting the Equus throne.

But this is a big check.

"In addition to Methyl, I would also like to see the names of my second son, Muzio, and my third son, Redus."

Of course as a prince ( ).

In other words, it is a form that makes Muzio and Redus recognize the throne of methyl.

Of course, you can't refuse.

In the Equus customary law, the patriarchal order is absolute.

It would be a great advantage to reduce the possibility of infighting at all.

And this depends on whether the three princesses consulted ...

It is also a check that "Japan knows the weakness of your country's successor problem."

"Hmmm ... not bad, but one problem is that King Rossais is in danger. If we don't take over the alliance in the next generation, our country will bleed unilaterally."

"That's okay. The next candidate, King Rosais, has also agreed on the alliance. I'm not sure who it is."

Julia answers.

But King Equus shakes his head.

"Not just the mouth. I want you to leave it as a letter. Mr. Almus As. I want your signature."

Yes, I understand. If you sign ... yeah! ?

Hey, why are you barre! ! "

"It looks like it's true. One thing I should tell you is that kissing should be done without the eyes of a mouse. You should also train yourself to hide your expression before becoming king. "

Fucking ...

Did you hide your face and just cheating ...?

Alright, the next time you kiss, let's do it in a safe place.

"Um, this is ..."

"I want you to be relieved. I will not imitate my enemy as a revenge. In the case of the Three Princesses, Julia gave me great care. I will also go through silence."

In short, if you want to be silent, curse the curse.

I got a counter.

"I want the treaty to have a personal signature of Almus As, neither the next king nor the lord of As.

In other words, it must not allow "this treaty expires because it is not a lord but a king anymore."

Well, I don't really want to do that.

"Okay, let's sign."

"So let's have a feast tonight.

"Feast. What kind of food is it? I'm looking forward to it.

"Yes ... well, sheep meat or horse milk. And cheese."

I do not expect much.

Food is much poorer than the kingdom of Rosais.

But it was time for the feast to begin.

Hawk mail arrived.

"King Demolgar is collecting troops. More than 10,000. Hurry to conclude the alliance. If you cannot conclude by tomorrow, please return immediately. Operation must be reworked. King Rossais

Well, not for a feast.

"I'm sorry, King Equus. I had you prepare such a feast seat ..."

"Raise your head. It's no use in a crisis in your homeland. I'll cancel the feast and sort out the soldiers to go by tomorrow morning. How many people do you need?"

"About three hundred people. Can you ask Muzio-sama for the commander? Can you lend me a horse? Necessary for wagons. For carrying loot."

I will answer on behalf of Julia.

King Equus replied cheerfully.

"Before you win, you don't have to worry about looting. You seem to be very confident. No, it's not ironic. You're praising. As long as you borrow a horse. But now, Muzio! You're heading to the kingdom of Rossais tomorrow morning! "

Muzio answers, kneeling down.

"Ha! We will make the name of the Equus tribe in the kingdom of Domorgar and the land of Rossais!"

Preparations were made for the battle.

"Rosaith King! I just returned."

"I came back well, but it was a day earlier than expected. Is this the mobility of the cavalry ..."

King Rosais screamed with surprise and expression.

Mizio, sitting next to me, bowed to King Rossais.

"Muzio Equus Nudias, the second son of the Equus Chief. I'm here to lead the 300 Equus Cavalry."

"Thank you for the reinforcements. Muzio will be in command of Almus there and fight. Then let's see the operation meeting immediately .... No, let's confirm. After that, Almus should return to the territory of As and organize troops."

The royal family were all members except Almus As.

Soon it was announced that the general would be Armus Ass.

The pre-informed Athists shouted with joy and joy in their hearts.

The ignorant Athists shouted with joy, embarrassed.

The neutral was embarrassed and expressed a confused expression and voice.

And the Diberists screamed.

Royal families other than the Royal Family can also participate in the Royal Family Conference.

The vote was slightly out of favor, and it was safely passed that Almus As was general.

Regal Diber protested that he did not make himself general.

King Rossais did not do anything with it.

Rigal Dybelle will have one hundred men under his command and three hundred men under the command of Almus ass, and then will solidify himself on the border with the kingdom of Demorgar and keep himself behind. And declared that he would stay in his territory with 500 soldiers.

Almus Ass acknowledged it with a smile and reached out to fight together.

Rigal Divel removed his hand and went silently.

The usual old man could not be seen beside him ...
