157 Youre the best. (2/2)

This was because an all-out war would have hurt the Caenis Empire as well. Even if they increased their territory at the end of a pitched battle where they were grinding each other's soldiers to a pulp, they would not be able to continue. A war of aggression should be overwhelming.

And if they were to go to war with two of the major powers at the same time, they could be defeated. So far, the Shiro Army of the West hasn't come into direct conflict with the Kingdom of Noahcurio, but if they fall into war with Diretta, Noahcurio might come to finish them off. In addition, it would be bad if the Demon King's army attacked our hinterland when we had no reserve forces.

This is a critical situation, but it's also an opportunity.

Crossing the K'lukaru Mountains would be a national undertaking. Therefore, we would have had to go around.

If a road were to suddenly open up there, it would be a very useful invasion route.

The Frabjous Sea is just around the corner once we cross the ”backbone of the earth,” the Khulkar Mountains.

If we can expand into the inland sea and gain a port, we can gain a great advantage in logistics and commerce. It would also give us an advantage over the coastal nations, including Diretta.

Half of them had no choice.

Half of them want it.

The Red Army will cross the Kırkır Mountains: ......

”Ring of Stars. How do you read the Rose of Hell's intentions?

What? In the medium to long term, I think the aim is to weaken the Sacred Kingdom of Diretta by having it fight against our own natural enemy.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future.

”...... Hmm. It looks like I didn't have to fire you.

”Play along, .......

”So far, there is no threat to the east. If we can stop the Blue Army from invading, leave enough men to hold the occupied territories, and send them to support the Red Army, the tide will turn in our favor, but... But he said he was going to build a nest right under the nose of the Blue Army.

In other words, the existence of the ...... ”Rose Princess of Hell” will be an irreplaceable keystone of suppression for Diretta and her henchmen.

Ryubuchi fished the edges of his mouth and smiled sarcastically.

The pond surrounding the throne room felt as if it were surging.

”The Rose Princess of Hell is undead. No matter where you run, you can't escape the Mooneaters of Diretta. After all, they go into places that armies can't go, in small numbers. If you try to stay in one place, they will sniff you out to the ends of the earth.

But the chains of these mad dogs are pulled by stinking monks who seek the benefits of this life rather than the realization of the teachings.

...... little girl. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

The main job of the Moon Eaters is to destroy evil warriors and the undead, but once they're sent into battle against people, they're unbeatable.

However, the number of key combatants is strangely small. The exact number is kept secret, but it's not even 100.

It is unclear why the number is so small, but it is said that the number is limited for some reason. As a result, the Moon Eater fighters are always flying around the world.

Because of this situation, it was not uncommon for one of their fighters to be dispatched only a few months after the call.

This time, Diretta's expedition to Ciel-Teira gathered more than twenty fighters, which is the same as the largest mobilization for the ”Joint Expedition against the Demon King's Army and the Human Nation” that had ceased 14 years ago.

This is the same as the largest mobilization for the Anti-Monarchies and Human Nations Joint Expedition, which was last held 14 years ago.

If not for the bait, no matter how much effort a single childless idiot monk put in, there would not have been this many fighters.

To put it simply, the Moon Eater's manpower is invaluable. They are the trump card of the human race, relied upon alongside high-ranking adventurers to take down the big boys that the country can't handle.

And it was an open secret that there was a great deal of political will involved in deciding where to put them.

If you want to get the protection of the Moon Eaters, you have to be on good terms with the Holy Kingdom of Diretta. Aside from countries like the Empire of Koenis, which has a powerful military and plenty of ace adventurers and soldiers, there are also small countries where it is a matter of life and death whether or not the Moon Eaters will come when the time comes.

Diretta was using this relationship to her advantage in her diplomacy.

As far as Seiryuu knew, Diretta had been very reluctant to send the Moon Eaters to Caenis recently.

If tensions were to rise further, a complete retreat was possible.

And if the imperial army is plagued by the ”Rose Princess of Hell”, making it difficult for them to move, ...... Diretta's higher-ups will probably stick their tongues out in prayer and overlook it. At least until the Caenis Empire is truly in danger.

In the end, the situation surrounding the Caenis Empire has worsened.

But neither the ring nor the abyss was in despair.

If that's the case, then we'll have to use the Blue Army to defeat the 'Rose Princess of Hell'.

”That's right. ”That's right. As long as we defeat the Rose Princess of Hell, our problems will be solved in a chain reaction.

He's definitely going to interfere in the frontline battle. You should reap what you sow.

I can't give you much in the way of ...... men, but I can give you as much gold and goods as the Blue Army wants.

”As you wish.

The only thing that matters is that the two of you decide.

It doesn't matter if you're a human, a demon, or an undead.

The Caenis Imperial Army, the strongest on the continent, will defeat all of its enemies and build a prosperous nation.

I have a rough idea of the capabilities and strength of the ”Rose Princess of Hell” based on the information leaked to me.

It would be troublesome if she could gather all the demons around the Ku Luo Kar Mountains, but the Blue Army would still have an advantage if they were to face her head-on.

If they are holed up in the jungles or mountains, they might not be able to attack, but if they cut down the enemy from the edge, the enemy will be impoverished. ......

--I'm not sure if that's all.

Hoshihuan, however, was also troubled.

If she had the brains to devise such a plan, the ”Rose Princess of Hell” would be aware of the difference in strength between her and him.

Then, why did she take such an action to jump into the bosom of the Caenis Empire?

She stood up from her throne, flipping her cloak-like jacket.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. Or do you have a plan to do so? ......

You can show your power, ”Rose of Hell”.

The surface of the water rumbled again.
