C432: Westward Plot / Cruz
What Deer Grafful proposed was certainly interesting but I was not interested in information alone. He believed that I was and continued to speak.
I will inform Master Cruz of all the movements of the military joint struggle. If I do so, I believe you will be able to capture the west with ease."
"Oh, you mean you would betray your own country?"
I would pay a small price to save my life. I have no interest in a community that exists only in the land of my birth.
You are very good and made it easy to understand. Yes, that information would make my life a lot easier.
It doesn't matter how many weak nations in the West gather together, but if it is easier, of course it is better.
I have no interest in this man's life, so it is not a bad idea to spare his life for the sake of meaningful information. However, I decided to add an additional condition.
But information alone is not enough. We will give you instructions, so please move Ludawan and the other countries that are fighting with us to our convenience.
He was capable enough to hold the position of Minister of War and was pretty capable so he nodded his head at my instructions, understanding that his life was saved.
As soon as Deer Grafful was allowed to leave, a report on another matter was brought to me. It was a report on the progress of one of the schemes that had been hatched in my former homeland of Meltaria.
So, are the states surrounding Meltaria about to make a move?
Yes, they have reason to suspect that the people of Meltaria are connected to our Elysian Empire, and that they are trying to sell out the surrounding states. They are moving their armies to invade Meltaria at any moment.
Yes, I suppose that's what happens since we made it public that I am the commander of the invasion force in the west.
I think the fact that Cruz-sama is the former commander-in-chief of the army of Meltaria is quite persuasive.
The Western nations, however weak they may be, are not happy to be united, so they have been working on several schemes behind the scenes.
One of them is to make Meltaria and their neighboring countries fight, and it seems to be working.
Meltaria has Linnecarlo and the white magicraft. If they fought together with the neighboring countries and rebelled, they would certainly be the biggest obstacle so we made the first move.
We will hold a military meeting right away. Tell Reyna to come over here."
When she gave that order, the second-in-command showed some concern.
"Butin the hierarchy of the Ten Gods of War, Reina-sama is higher than Cruz-sama, so I don't think it's a good idea to call her here. How about we prepare a separate military meeting place somewhere else?"
The suggestion was plausible, but it irked me. I pulled out the dagger attached to my waist and slashed at the deputy's leg. The deputy crouched down, holding the cut. I told the incompetent man,
I don't care about rank! I am the commander of the Western Army!
Normally, the person higher in the pecking order would be the commander, but there was a big difference in command experience between Reyna and me.
Of course, I made a move to make it so, but the empire recognized this and appointed me as the commander. I don't even want to think about being under the command of a little girl who only has a high Ludia value.
