𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟎𝟕: 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
The investigation is not solely carried out by us.
The city of Gaillia and its surrounding cities are meticulously investigated by the arrangements of Chief of Staff Kiril.
ㅤ
In fact, this is the real deal.
The priority of the Kingdom of Gaillia is first and foremost to protect the Kingdom of Gaillia.
Likewise, in Masrur Kingdom and Piran Castle, it would be to diligently investigate if devils have not made any moves.
ㅤ
The touring of nations under the banner of [Hope] is merely a precautionary measure.
ㅤ
“It’s a nomination request from the kingdom’s government. While I can’t refuse, I’d rather have [Hope] stay in Gaillia.”
ㅤ
At the adventurer’s guild where we came to accept the request, Jennifer dramatically spread her arms wide open.
She grumbled about being coerced by Miss Jeenika.
ㅤ
“Can’t be helped. Clans with strength and small membership are only ours.”
ㅤ
And somehow, I, looking like I’m defending the government, am the weird one.
It’s strange.
I’m not supposed to be a pawn of the kingdom.
ㅤ
“Yes, yes, that’s right. Lionel prefers Jeenika-san over me.”
“I don’t understand what you mean. The request originated from His Majesty.”
ㅤ
It was not supposed to be a choice between choosing Jennifer or Miss Jeenika.
ㅤ
“Well, joking aside, I really want [Hope] to take on the defense of Gaillia.”
“But what can a six-person clan do?”
ㅤ
Even with Chief of Staff Anita, we’re only seven.
In a defensive battle, it’s a virtually meaningless number.
ㅤ
“But we’re winning, aren’t we? Numerous times.”
“That’s a different situation.”
ㅤ
I was temporarily given command and achieved military exploits, but it was all due to surprise tactics.
That’s the only chance of victory allowed to a small unit.
ㅤ
In reality, it was the joint forces of General Kytes and Demon General Grant that defeated Lintrite’s main force.
ㅤ
Explaining this to Jennifer, who isn’t knowledgeable about military strategy, wouldn’t make sense.
ㅤ
“We are more of a nuisance to the enemy by moving around.”
ㅤ
If a powerful figure who defeated Fleuretti is traveling around while investigating various nations, other devils might take some action.
If we see that as the devil’s tail and pull it hard, it might surprise the devils and they might flee back to their headquarters.
ㅤ
It’s a strategic action of possibilities piled on possibilities.
This expedition is.
ㅤ
“We’re better suited to the role of bait because we stand out. I apologize if it’s not a brilliant scheme.”
ㅤ
I shrugged my shoulders.
I was heavily ridiculed at the clan house.
By the girls.
ㅤ
It seems that I, who lack divine schemes and devilish plots, must rely on them to protect me.
I’m at a loss.
ㅤ
“What I’m talking about is not about actual combat power, but a psychological effect. If something happens, I’d feel safer if Lionel is nearby.”
ㅤ
Jennifer smiled faintly.
Her refined beauty coupled with the smile gives a very fleeting impression.
ㅤ
I’m taken aback. Or rather, wouldn’t anyone else have fallen for this? This.
Misunderstanding it as a confession.
ㅤ
But I won’t be fooled.
Normally, I’m heavily teased by the girls.
The experience is different. The experience.
ㅤ
“I’ll interpret it as being relied upon. You see, Jennifer, you can’t talk like that to a single man. It can lead to misunderstandings.”
“. . . . . .As dull as frozen vegetables. . . . . .”
“Hm? What did you say?”
ㅤ
She muttered something, but I couldn’t hear.
ㅤ
“I said, ‘I wish you long-lasting fortune in war.’ Since you’re busy, please go home already.”
ㅤ
I was driven away with a shoo, shoo.
How awful.
ㅤ
Despite my advice out of concern, it seems as if I had hit a raw nerve.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
Firstly, our aim is the former royal capital, Galangran.
Now, it’s part of the Winter Rose City-State Federation.
ㅤ
“In the end, no country took control, and only the remaining citizens started self-governing, right?”
“Seems like it’s not so much self-governing as it is rule by force.”
ㅤ
I nod at Miliaria’s words.
Two years ago, there were plenty of shared carriages to Galangran, but now there isn’t a single one.
So this time, it’s a journey on foot.
ㅤ
There’s a rumor that all the inns in the towns along the way are declining.
There might be a situation where we have to camp out in the open. The highway connecting the trade city Gaillia and the royal capital Galangran, which used to be one of the busiest places, is now deserted.
It’s quite sad.
ㅤ
“Ruling by force, you say?”
ㅤ
A sneer surfaces from under the pointed hat.
The clever girl sees the situation.
ㅤ
It’s not a farming village inhabited by many indigenous people. It was a big city where consumption was greater than production. Most of the people who make up the city are those who have moved from somewhere else.
There’s not much hesitation in abandoning the city.
In fact, even Anita drifted to Gaillia.
ㅤ
Humans, when cornered to the limit, will run away with nothing but their lives.
They’ll abandon their homes, lands, and properties, and even their families and friends if it comes to it.
ㅤ
Therefore, if you try to rule with force, the people will just disappear.
There’s no point.
ㅤ
It’s scary to imagine what Galangran has become now.
ㅤ
“If it’s that deserted, expectations for dining options are thin.”
ㅤ
While tapping her tin staff, Meisha, who doesn’t lose focus, makes a point.
The other day, the devil extermination and legion purification were recognized by the Supreme God Church, and she was given the title of a bishop, even though she’s a layperson, but what she thinks about is mostly about food.
ㅤ
Is it okay? Supreme God.
To have such a person as a bishop.
ㅤ
The doctrine might change, you know? I won’t be surprised if she starts preaching about worshipping fried chicken or something.
