157 Youre the best. (1/2)

The royal palace of the Caenis Empire has a uniquely distinctive appearance.

It is a structure of flat buildings with bright yellow roof tiles, each facing exactly east, west, north, south, or southwest, with a magnificent row of eaves.

Each of the four sides of the building is surrounded by square buildings. This is repeated, and the outermost part is enclosed by a crimson painted wall.

The stone square at the end of the main gate is vast, and those who stand there and look down from the towering buildings of the royal palace are forced to realize their own smallness and the might of the empire.

Deep within the palace lies the Second Throne Room.

Ordinary people, no matter how high their social status, are not allowed to enter this place. Audiences with lowly people are held in the throne room, closer to the front. Only the emperor and high-ranking officials were allowed to enter here.

There were many ornaments made of strands of jewels hanging down like a curtain.

A very limited number of them were hidden in between. A limited number of elite soldiers of the Yellow Army, who were trusted by the Emperor, were waiting for him.

On the left and right sides of the room were latticed doors carved with openwork dragons, and outside the doors was a corridor that stretched out like a balcony toward the pond. Thin silk curtains gently blocked the sunlight and the moisture-laden wind from entering.

At the far end of the room, which seemed to float on the water, was a throne with a texture like ebony, cut from a large tree.

The man who sorrowfully rests on that throne is the Emperor of the Caenis Empire, Minhao.

Or, as he calls himself, ...... ”Dragon Abyss”.

The king of the mighty Caenis Empire is either a big man who can pierce the clouds, or a fierce general who can kill people with his eyes alone. ......

If you have such preconceived notions, you will be betrayed at every turn.

Ryuyuchi is in his mid twenties. He is rather slender and not very tall.

He has a fine face and black hair and eyes. His skin is white, and those who do not speak of him say that he looks like a woman.

His eyes are like a warrior's, but that's all they are.

She wears a crown with a unique shape, like a board passed over her head, and a red and black robe embroidered with divine beasts and stars.

In front of the throne on which the dragon abyss sits, there is a man kneeling, spreading out a scroll-like document and reading it. He looked to be in his thirties by human standards.

This man was even more slender than Ryuyuan, with long, slender arms, legs, and fingers, and was taller. He was dressed so perfectly in government uniform that there was not a crease in sight, and he had stroked green hair and pointed ears. His skin has the texture of white wood, and he has a tattoo of five black dots around his left eye.

A rather rare race in human society. He is an elf.

His name is Ring of Stars. His real name is Glenn Milles.

His title is General.

He controls all four armies, blue, red, black, and white, except for the Yellow Army, which is the emperor's personal guard. In effect, he is the supreme military leader.

There is no such thing as nobility in this country.

In terms of institutions, the country only has an ”emperor” and an ”official. General Hoshihaki is no exception to this rule.

However, Hoshihaki, a long-lived elf, has been serving this country since the founding of the Caenis Empire, and has influence to the point of being a political privileged class.

He is also skilled in human military tactics, which is not typical for an elf, and is a military officer with a presence and ability that can be said to be the presence of Hoshihuan in the Empire.

In the past, he was a blue general, but now he is a great general under the leadership of the current emperor, Long Yuan.

...... So the Red Army is now on its way to secure the road that has appeared in the Ku Luo Kar Mountains.

That's all I have to report.

”Hmm. ......

After finishing the report, Hoshihuan lightly pushed up his rimless glasses with his fingertips and repositioned them.

This is a great way to get the most out of your business.

”I smell the same .......

”My Lord?

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

I only know the Demon King's army of the past from records and old stories.

But I can't help but think that this contraption smells just like the Demon King's Army of old.

A bold and strange plan that seems to ridicule the human race fighting for their lives. ......

Hmm. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

”Ha, ha. ......

In the event you're not sure what to do, there are a few things you can do.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

But since it was an uncertain guess at the moment, Hoshi Tamaki did not deny or confirm it.

You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.

The more weak the enemy, the better. Although he and Ryubuchi disagreed on this point, Hoshihuan trusted Ryubuchi's eagerness and ability to win.

The Red Army is already working to secure a way through the mountains. The Red Army is already working to secure a way through the mountains. If we miss this opportunity, it is possible that the country across the mountains will take the path.

However, this would create tension between us and Diretta.

What shall we do, my Lord?

There's no point in panicking. We can only do what we can do.

We can't let another country take the mountain trail, not even by mistake.

If it is known that we used a path made by a demon, it could be seen as our country being in the demon's family. If that's the case, we have no choice but to advertise that this is our achievement and excite the people at best.

If we do this, our relations with Diretta will be extremely bad, but we have no choice. The Red Army will have to stare down Diretta's army.

Hoshihaki didn't say anything back. The Red Army will have a standoff with the Direttas.

Water naturally flows lower than higher. In the same way, an irresistible flow had been created.

...... The Caenis Empire must face the Holy Kingdom of Diretta.

Up until now, the Empire of Caenis had conquered a number of race states through the use of coercion and force.

However, it had avoided a decisive rupture and clash with the other four major powers.
