"Why do you use such a statement?"

Faced with the elf Nancy's question, Gray replied, "I think that the great empire of the human race needs to restrain its behavior. So in this meeting, I want to knock them on - if the other side is not willing to accept it, then even coercive means are fine. ”

Gray's unabashed, straightforward statement stunned both Nancy and Freya. However, they did not mean to speak, for they knew that Gray had not finished speaking.

Looking at the expressions of the two who had turned into human forms, Gray continued, "As for the reason...... The first reason is that if there is still the possibility of a great war in this peaceful age, it is none other than the Terrans and Orcs. The orcs are betting on the demise of their entire race, and I think that probably says something - maybe they don't really have no way to survive the race. It's just that the way of survival that needs to survive is no longer what the orcs want to accept. So we can accept the actions of the orcs...... Although it is not okay to say that they are not given some punishment. ”

"And, the key diǎn is, the actions of the orcs...... If it weren't for the fact that he was planning more things, it would have been possible to negotiate peace with the posture of the other side...... To tell you the truth, in our opinion, the orcs are in many ways more suitable as allies than the three empires. That's one of the reasons why we're not interested in the mention of 'sanctioning orcs' - we don't hate orcs. ”

"And what? don't dislike orcs or anything, and from our point of view, it is. Nancy and Freya looked at each other, and then Nancy diǎn diǎn head and said, "But from your words, it's not hard to hear...... Why do you hate the three empires?"

"It's not just the Star Palace that hates the three empires, but Luoyin and the Holy See actually don't like their attitude towards them very much. Gray said. "If you fall into the sound, because of its heavy significance, it is the most popular of the many holy places, and the three empires have actually coveted it no less—every year, all kinds of spies with different identities and abilities infiltrate it. If it weren't for the mastery of the 'strongest person' on Luoyin's side, Luoyin would not have been able to be so independent a long time ago, right?"

"But i.e. ◇dǐng◇diǎn◇小◇ said,.2≡3.o≠s_(); As for these spies, as long as they didn't make a big mistake, they basically found them and threw them out of the city instead of killing them all -- this is a very friendly move, right? The people of the three empires are still happy to send all kinds of people with evil intentions here. And diplomatically, he also intends to make trouble for Luoyin...... Luoyin City definitely doesn't like the three empires. That's what he said. ”

"What?" "That one actually ...... Do you say the same?" Nancy and Freya were surprised to hear Gray's words. But they were only amazed for a moment...... Because it is actually very understandable that that one would hate the three empires.

"As for the church... The three empires ostensibly do not speak, but many of their policies and their official propaganda clearly do not welcome each other. It's just that they have to accept it because of the influence of the other party, and as time goes by, the three empires have more and more ways to secretly resist and obstruct the missionary - the people of the Holy See are not stupid, so of course they don't like such things, but they don't want to turn against the three empires. ”

"And that's what I know from this generation of popes, that's why I'm sure. Including you dragons and elves, you are not interested in the three empires. That's why I thought I would take this opportunity to beat them up - but now it's the other two that need to be beaten. ”

―――――――――――――――――――― dividing line

“...... Hmph, is that really the case?" Just as Gray explained his plan to Nancy and Freya, on the other side, the one from the Spring Lord, the young prime minister who had arrived at the front, Roland Silva. He was also facing the generals of the Haruno Lords in the conference hall. and the rest of the ministers who had followed him to the front, explaining what he had just read. Letters sent by the front-line leaders of the Rain Lords and the Atiro Empire, respectively.

Roland Silva, a rare young prime minister since the founding of the Empire, was also the de facto supreme head of the Spring Lord, the special envoy in charge of all foreign affairs this time. Although the young prime minister is not very old, his ability is very strong.

Before coming here (the front line). The generals here have all agreed with the ability of this young man in a high position. At this time, they were also listening carefully to this young man and expressing their opinions.

"You've read this letter too, right? Remember after tonight's meeting. The first thing you said? Yes, that's right...... It's the sentence 'If there is no accident, the other two human empires will not work together with us, but they may only have their own ghosts'!"

"The generals may not understand this kind of text with the meaning of deception, biting the text and chewing the words, in order to deceive us. So let me tell you more about it. ”

"The common diǎn of these two letters is that they are all on the grounds that 'the attitude of the alliance is wrong', and they 'advise' us not to do anything with the orcs for the time being, and to try to negotiate with the alliance. And 'encourage' us not to forget the atrocities of the orcs, to stand firm and resolutely oppose the claims of the Alliance, while they are on our side and will come to our aid at the negotiating table...... Hmph, to put it bluntly, they just want us to fight against the Alliance, and then they will be profitable!"

After hearing Roland's words, most of the generals felt a little foggy, so someone asked very bluntly: "I also read what they wrote in the letter, but how did Mr. Roland see their purpose?"

"If you suspect them from the outset, it's clear that they agreed to send us together before the Alliance's attitude changed. However, now that the alliance's attitude has changed, they have each sent a letter stating that they will not send troops again. Just by looking at this diǎn, we can understand the fact that the other party and us are not of the same mind. ”

"Now that we know that they don't want to be with us, we can speculate on the reasons why they agreed to support us but don't agree with us, and the reasons why they said they wanted to fight the alliance with us, even though they didn't intend to support us. ”

"Since it is not concentric, then the only reason for them to do this is to want to get 'benefits' from this battle. ”

After taking a deep breath, Roland continued: "Yes, if you consider it from the perspective of 'interests', you can speculate that the other party agreed to send troops because at that time, from the attitude of the Holy See, it felt that the alliance would crusade against the orcs - if this is the case, there is no doubt that the orcs will perish, and the alliance will definitely be able to win a big victory." And they will be the 'victors' and will be able to get a lot out of the war...... Everyone must be able to understand this diǎn. ”

"And when the Alliance's attitude changes, if you agree to accompany us to send troops, then you may not get the Alliance's assistance and even provoke the Alliance's disgust. And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you can win against the orcs with only the three empires, you will definitely lose a lot - so of course they can't agree to send troops anymore. ”

"And the so-called 'stand on our side, will give us assistance at the negotiating table'.... Hmph, all of you who are here today should have heard that the Alliance intends to stop this battle and has decided to subsidize us and the orcs with resources. And our attitude is that we are firmly against this resolution. ”

Listening to Roland talk about this, everyone who is not stupid will understand what he means when they leave: "So what do you mean...... Are they going to bargain with the other side for more gain? Counting our hatred, they are going to make us their shields?"

Roland diǎndiǎn head and said, "Hmm. At the negotiating table in the future, the alliance will probably be able to spare its resources as the victims of the war. And the people on both sides probably calculated that if we expressed our firm opposition to this resolution, the alliance would make certain concessions in order to quell the war. And then they have the possibility to benefit from it. ”

"--Of course, that's a lot of what I've just said. In fact, it is just my own opinion, and it is out of malice, and it is very irresponsible to belittle the opinion of others...... But personally, I trust my own judgment. So, what do you think? After this meeting, we need to report the situation on our side to His Majesty, who is about to go to the front line. So I'd like to hear from you. (To be continued.) )
