166 Let's live with the neighbors.

The smuggling of Kara and the Grand Duchess of Rupert was successful.

I don't know if I was involved in the exact amount of the negotiation, but Kara's side of the negotiation said it was a big deal worth 6.6 million reef gold.

Beyond this kind of funding would greatly ease the poor finances of the Grand Duchess of Rupert, and I immediately went into disruption.

Inside the Magic Communications Center. I spoke with an elderly man with glaring-looking features on his cell phone. It was Duke Fabious of the Kingdom of Bastein.

Duke Fabious has had a serious look on his face the whole time he's been talking to me. It's because I told him the details of Duke Rupert's ambition.

“Duke Rupert wants to unify the continent? ”

I hold my head to Duke Fabious in the communication room.

“Yes. Intelligence says the Duke will not end the war with this civil war. I don't know exactly when, but as soon as I've eaten the Yosrahim Empire, I think I'll soon be on a continental conquest. ”

“No, do the Air Force have that ability? ”

“Yeah, it's too much trouble. Have you heard the rumors about the non-combat and the cavalry? ”

“I hear it's a pretty powerful weapon. ”

“It's not that powerful. I saw it with my own eyes. I'm not kidding. My guess is that the only country on the continent that can stop the Air Force is the Lumen Kingdom. ”

The Lumen Kingdom was a kingdom that belonged to the forces of light and was a kingdom of Elves.

Although the Kingdom is very small, the Elven Empire was considered to be a powerful force within five fingers of the entire Prosia continent and its surrounding forces. Apart from the Orcs and our kingdom of Kara, number three.

Duke Fabious looks up sharply.

“We?”

“A hundred percent. ”

“Hey, white face. We used to compete against the Yosrahim Empire. ”

I had a taste for it.

“The Kingdom of Bastein should not have come to the Kingdom of Robos in the past. ”

“Why?”

“You can't go crawling through the ground against them. If they drop chaos bombs, there's 100,000 of them and a million of them. You have to bounce if you don't want to die. ”

In some battles, the surest way to crush an enemy's forces is to strike them with a means they will never be able to resist.

When an enemy is in this situation, almost everyone chooses to flee. Our only option is to flee.

Such a weapon is the flying equipment of the non-combat. When I encountered the enemy, I had no means to resist, so I had to flee.

Of course, if the commander is reckless, we can continue the battle, but that's just the Commander's slaughter of an ally soldier.

“And the Lumen Kingdom? ”

“You have Ilpane Cydes. ”

Ilpane Saides is the third mind master of humanity and the husband of the Lumen Kingdom Queen.

It is so liberal that it does not appear well in the world, but it was also the price of swordsmanship that Cloud and Grolomog were admired for being the continent's greatest swords shortly after their death.

When the sun comes up, we can't help ourselves. Even though they are ahead of the Ilpane Cydes in speed, the frontal battle is no match for them.

“Does that mean only the Mind Master can stand up to the non-combatants? ”

“Not exactly, but on the continent. ”

“What about your kingdom of Kara? ”

“Well, we do have some tools. ”

“Hmm. Then you'll have to deal with it. ”

I shrugged.

“Not until the Grand Air Force of Rupert arrives in the Great Desert. ”

“Why?”

“We have no intention of invading a continental country. The Great Desert is big enough and small enough. Of course, if we refuse to export food from the continent, we will have no choice but to go for our survival, but once the development of the island of Jores is complete, we won't have to. The food supply from Jores Island will feed our kingdom and all the Orcs, including Kara.

I can. ”

Duke Fabious grips his teeth.

“Are you being mean? ”

“Don't just say it's lethal, you just have to be prepared. That's why I called you. ”

Duke Fabious sighs a long time.

“What are we prepared for? We have only just overcome financial difficulties with our income from the island of Jores. ”

“Still don't have enough money? ”

“Yes."

I froze my chin with a anxious expression.

“Hmm. Things are getting worse. ”

“Why?”

“Actually, the Royal Air Force was in serious financial trouble, too. Honestly, if you go to war, you won't be able to be sharp. ”

“Indeed. Our kingdom was destroyed by two wars. So?”

“But the Grand Duke of Rupert's territory will soon overcome financial hardships. ”

“No. How? ”

“He made a deal with us. With 6.6 million reefs on our side, you won't have to worry about money for a while. ”

Duke Fabious grunts, his expression distorted.

“Hey, are you guys crazy? You said Duke Rupert was determined to conquer the continent. But what if we make a deal with them? ”

“I had no choice. They're giving us a lot of essence, but we can't afford it, can we? ”

“Even so. You think the Air Force won't attack you after conquering the continent? ”

“Well, I'll tell him to come. The Great Desert will give you a warm welcome. ”

Duke Fabious grips his lips.

“Come. You'll live well only in Kara Kingdom? Hey, do you think you'll be okay if we block your trade routes? Honestly, you guys are making money trading in Kara Kingdom, right? Land or sea trade, if we stop them, it's over. ”

“Is that so?"

“Of course. You have to cross our kingdom of Bastein to get from your side to the continent. ”

I held my head back because I wasn't wrong.

Past Great Desert trade routes or sea trade routes must pass through the Kingdom of Bastein to enter the continent from Kara Kingdom.

Of course, the Orc Meadow Movement Route was recently opened through a Magic Truck, but it was hard to handle Kara's trade supplies because it was too long to go back and forth.

“Yes. Then they must have crossed the Kingdom of Bastein. ”

“Who?”

“Yes. The Grand Duchess of Lupette, carrying a gold 6.6 million reef. ”

Duke Fabious's gaze flashes for a moment. I think I've finally realized my intentions. I have no intention of dealing in fraud. I am never a thief who makes deals in the front and steals deals in the back.

I made a mistake.

“Come. I see. ”

Duke Fabious' face is greedy. Six hundred and sixty thousand reefs of gold. With this money, I was able to strengthen the finances of the Kingdom of Bastein, and it was also the funding of those who might one day become enemies.

However, this giant passes through the English Sea of the Kingdom of Bastein. The kingdom of Bastein will be a country of great conscience if you just let it go.

“What?”

“No.”

“Anyway, be prepared. It seems that Duke Rufet intends to conquer the continent after defeating the Yosrahim Empire. Soon we'll be going to the Kingdom of Bastein. ”

“Got it.”

“And if the country's financials get better, we'll buy weapons. I'll sell you lots of good stuff. Honestly, buying and selling neighbors' stuff is good for each other. ”

“Right. Neighbors. Okay, got it. ”

“Then work hard. I'm busy. ”

“Yes, go in. ”

I immediately disconnected communication.

I should have told you by now.

Since the Kingdom of Bastein is also turning the grid on Kara, we should be able to identify a party of the Lupaine Grand Duchess Trade Co-op coming to Kara for smuggling and a ship carrying a large quantity of Doubloons back to Ducal Rufet territory.

I was worried, by the way, that this deal would resolve the trade imbalance between Kara and the continents for a considerable period of time, and Bastein expects to buy a large quantity of weapons of marijuana. Soon again, the trade imbalance problem seemed to arise.

But I had no choice. We cannot politely refuse the indiscretion of the Kingdom of Bastein to sell weapons to survive.

In fact, the Kingdom of Kara had also received substantial support from the three conditional allies or the Kingdom of Bastein in the fight against large amounts of magic that had appeared on the island of Jores.

* * *

I've decided to return to the Yosrahim Empire after handing over urgent information to the Kingdom of Bastein.

Despite Brian's assistance, I'm not worried about entrusting the army to Erisa, who's never been in a war.

And the night before I decided to go back. Unexpectedly, Armida came to me.

“Brother! Where have you been all this time? ”

Armida yelled at me as soon as she saw me in the office.

“You said you were going on a quest. ”

“But you didn't say you were coming back for half a year, did you? ”

“I'm sorry. It's hard to predict when this quest will be completed. But profits are pretty good. There's just a lot of extra income around here and there. ”

Armida's face twitches.

“Whatever. Now do our job. I have some urgent business to attend to. ”

“No. The quest isn't over yet. ”

“Still?”

“Yes.”

“Then how long do you think it'll take? ”

“I don't know. It's a quest I know when I'm done. Maybe next year if you're wrong. ”

Armida said decisively.

“Then cancel the quest immediately. My quest is more urgent. ”

“What the hell is going on? ”

“Prosia has asked me in secret. ”

“What favor? ”

“The Yosrahim Empire is in danger. He secretly asked for help here. ”

I opened my eyes in a daze.

“What are you talking about? If you're trying to destroy the Yosrahim Empire, you're on Kronos' side, right? ”

Armida's eyes are wide open.

“Sister, did you know? ”

“Yeah. I was roughly figuring it out. ”

“Glad your brother knows, though. By the way, that civil war, did you know that Nemisonna was working on it? ”

“Yes.”

“Do you know if that's a disruption to the laws of heaven? ”

“Yes.”

“Then why didn't you tell me? We have to stop this. ”

I looked ridiculous.

“Are there two nations that were destroyed and founded in the heavenly city of Kronos? Honestly, even the Yosrahim Empire was deeply involved there. What's wrong with you? ”

Armida's sister had nothing to say but taste. Although not countless, there have been many examples of Valkyrie involvement that have changed the world's history.

“Anyway, no Yosrahim empire. ”

“Why? They say the shit the Yosrahim Empire poops is golden? If it's time to go down, we go down, or we survive. ”

Armida said as if apologizing.

“It's going to happen. ”

“What?"

“Prosia was deeply involved in the Yosrahim Empire case. That's why I love you so much. Of course, it is inevitable that we will be destroyed by human history, but as a professional, we will be devastated by Nemisonan's involvement. ”

“So?”

“We have to stop them. ”

I had no idea the intent of the Prosians.

I don't know why Nemisona secretly asked Armida to comfort the Yosrahim Empire as an excuse for breaking the laws of heaven.

Of course, it would be understandable for Nemisona to have a prelude to the civil war in the Yosrahim Empire to harvest the essence of the land in Kronos, as I expected, but it would have no reason for Prosia to go on like this.

Although the Prosians are deeply involved in the construction of the Yosrahim Empire and have a lot of affection, it can't be more important than bringing down the God of Heaven.

Apparently, the Prosians have other intentions in their own way, but they have no idea.

“Don't mind my sister. You went to Katrine to stop the fall of the Yosrahim Empire. Tell them to report you. ”

“How can I trust him? Katrina is a Valkyrie of Nemiso. I don't know when my attitude's gonna change. ”

“It's not a Valkyrie. It's disgusting.”

Katrina has a straight personality. Once you get it right, it goes on without caring about the surroundings. Even if Nemisona is her line manager, it won't be easy to convince her.

“Is that so? Katrina has a fiery personality. The Valkyrie of Fire.”

“That's enough to know. ”

“But I have to do something. I've been asked by Prosia.You can't just trust Katrina, can you? ”

“Don't worry. I'm already doing it. ”

“Huh?"

“My sister is helping me by staying still. ”

“Brother!”

My ears rang at the cry of my sister Armida. After I closed my ears, I said,

“And I'm doing it. The Yosrahim Empire will never be destroyed. Don't worry too much. ”

“Your brother?”

“Yes. That's the kind of quest I'm doing right now. ”

“Well, let's talk about it. Then I would have helped you. ”

“I told you, she's helping you by staying put. ”

“Hey!"

I sighed for a long time at Armida's wrath.

“Okay. I'll ask your sister if I need anything. ”

“Really?"

“Yes. I'll contact you if anything happens later. I'm waiting in my office. ”

“Yes. Contact me. Do I have to call him? ”

“Yes.”

I have a powerful ally named Sister Armida. I don't know if it will be useful, but my strength is strong, so I thought I could use it if I listened carefully.
