The Chrome Clan has betrayed us.

　The news was widely publicized by Hercule.

　As a result, not only the anti-Kothrumia clans that had not directly opposed the Kothrumia clan, but even the opportunistic clans decided to vassalize with the Lemurian Empire at once.

　On the other hand, the Territorial Clans, the clans friendly to the Territorial Clans, and the clans that were still undecided rallied to form an alliance and declared their neutrality upon breaking the alliance with the Kotormia Clans.

　As a result, the Kingdom of Bulgaron was divided into three factions: the Lemurians, the Kotormians, and the Neutrals.

　Hercule lifted the ban on trade with the Lemurian clans, and at the same time began to provide them with food aid. ......
　He gathered a large army and started to march on the Kingdom of Bulgalon again.

　The number of troops was 876,000, including all the standing army.

　In addition, the reinforcements of the Krom clan, with Alicia Krom as their commander, numbered 100,000.
　One hundred and ten other Lemurian clans were added. ......

　The number of troops swelled to seventeen hundred and sixty.





　"Nngh, hmm, nngh, ......

　In the tent of the Lemurian Empire's army, two Long-eared Elves were facing each other and embracing.
　One is a black-haired bulgaron elf girl, and the other is a man in a glittering costume.
　The man was sitting on the bed and the girl was sitting on his lap.

　The girl, with a flushed face, devours the man's mouth.
　It looked more like the girl was being served rather than forcefully taking his lips or being on the offensive.

　The man pulled the girl away from him.

　The man pulled the girl away once.
　A bridge of saliva crossed their mouths.

　The man stroked the girl's buttocks with his left hand while he stroked her head with his right.

　"Good girl.
　Huh, huh. ...... Well, you see, the treatment of the Chromes after the war was ......
　"Oh, don't worry. I won't make it worse. After all, your betrayal has been definitive.

　The man - Hercule - said with his hand on the girl - Alicia's chin.
　Hercule had been steadily swaying the clans within the Bulgaron Kingdom, but he was unable to turn them at the last moment.
　The weaker clans were too afraid of Cothrumia to turn against him directly.

　All they could do was sell information to the Lemurian Empire or harass the weakened and impoverished Krom clans from all sides.

　The Territories were still weighing the Lemurian Empire and the Bulgaron Kingdom, and there was no telling how they would turn.

　But that was not the end of the matter.

　The reason they were able to take direct action was because the Chromium clan had turned to Lemuria.
　The Krom, the second most powerful clan in the Kingdom of Bulgalon, and the biggest ally of the Kotormir clan, turned to Lemuria.

　This had a strong impact on the clans of the Kingdom of Bulgalon.

　As a result, the war situation suddenly turned in favor of Lemuria.
　Hercule was finally able to advance his army to the Kingdom of Bulgalon.

　The Cotormia clan was slow to respond, and was on the move left and right. "The Kotormir are slow to react and are on the move. This is all thanks to you.
　"Thank you for the compliment. Your Majesty.

　Alicia thanked Hercule and gave him a pecking kiss.
　Alicia thanked Hercule and kissed him peckingly.
　Although she has already demanded service from Lunalie by taking her country and family as hostages, Lunalie is different from Alicia in that she still maintains the pretense that she will not give in to her heart.

　Alicia has no shame or outward appearance.
　However, it is interesting to note that she sometimes seems to be tormented by disgust or guilt, and has a momentary hesitant expression or movement.

　Hercule licked Alicia's cheek with this in mind.
　Then Alicia shivered.

　You don't have to be so frightened. I'm really grateful, okay?

　More than two hundred reinforcements were appreciated, but what was most appreciated was the information.
　The Kingdom of Bulgalon is a different country, and Hercule knows little about the geography of the Kingdom of Bulgalon.

　Unlike Fars and Hayastan, where merchants from both sides often come and go, Lemurian merchants rarely go to Bulgalon, and there is no way to gather information.
　The land of Bulgalon used to be the territory of the Lemurian Empire, but the terrain has changed drastically in a few hundred years.

　The Lemurian Empire and the Hercules are agrarian, and it is nearly impossible for them to accurately grasp the location of a nomadic settlement that is constantly on the move.

　"In addition, the Kotormir must be getting suspicious by now. That's why they're moving so slowly. Well, I suppose that's true. They've been cuckolded by their betrothed, the Chromes.　Alicia.
　"Ugh ......, please don't be mean.

　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find any useful information.
　She seemed to be concerned about her betrayal.

　She seemed to be concerned about her betrayal, which confirmed that her betrayal was not an act or anything.

　"Hey, it's not your fault. It's a Bulgarian tradition that it's worse to be betrayed, isn't it?

　The society of the Bulgarians is simple, clear, and rational.
　They talk about bravery, tradition, friendship, etc., but in fact, deep down, they are always playing the abacus and are not afraid to do anything cowardly, depending on the situation.

　He has a utilitarian streak in him.

　It is against this cultural and social background that Alicia decided to betray him so easily.

　"But if you betray me, you know what I mean.
　"Yes, yes, I do, Your ...... Majesty.

　When Hercule reminded her, Alicia shook her head repeatedly.
　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

　In addition, all the wives and children of the Bulgurons participating in this war have been transferred to Nova Lemuria.
　In order to avoid being involved in the war, we have given various reasons for this, including protection and reduction of the food burden. ......
　In short, they were good hostages.

　"Work hard. I'm buying your skills. After all, you took the right arm from me. You're going to work hard in this war. Understood?


　"Yes, ......, that tickles.

　Hercule said as he stroked Alicia's white thighs.
　Alicia was wearing a traditional Bulgarian dress.

　The dress had deep slits in the legs, making it easy to ride a horse.
　At first glance, the dress looks extreme because it exposes the thighs, but in fact, it is very well made and the inside is never visible.

　In addition, she usually wears riding pants separately, so there is no need to be conscious of what is inside.

　However, Alicia was forbidden to wear such pants or underwear inside.
　She was also forced to raise the length of her dress, which normally went down to her ankles, to about 20 centimeters above her knees.

　She was allowed to wear her normal dress and pants when she went to the battlefield, but she was still embarrassed.

　Alicia secretly hoped that Hercule's comment two days ago, "All the clothes you wear in Nova Lemuria from now on will be in that style," was a joke.

　"Well, Alicia. The Kotormir clans will be ready to fight back soon. Then the battle will begin. Before that, I'd like to find some favorable lands. Do you have any suggestions?
　"Yes.

　Alicia nodded and told Hercule about the terrain.

　Alicia nodded and informed Hercule of the terrain. "The Kotormir will prepare a large force to meet us and intercept us. If they see us as weak, they will accelerate the defection of the other clans, and we will have no choice but to go on the offensive. However, they will have to cross a mountain range before they can reach us. And there are only so many roads that a large army of cavalry can take.

　Hearing Alicia's plan, Hercule nodded in satisfaction.

　Excellent. If that plan is successful, this war will truly be over. ......, but there's just one problem.
　"What's that?

　Hercule grabbed Alicia by the throat.

　What is it?" Hercule grabbed Alicia by the throat. Hey, Alicia.
　"No, he won't!　It's true. ...... You can trust me.

　Alicia said with tears in her eyes.
　As far as Hercule can tell, she's not going to betray him. ...... But she could change her mind.

　"If you betray us, we will kill all of the Chromes that have been transported to Nova Lemuria. Do you understand?
　"Yes, sir. Yes, I understand.
　I'll also assign Nia and Jebe to watch over you. They're both good, so you can use them as your second in command.
　"Yes, sir.

　Both Nia and Jebe will complain, but ......
　I'm not sure if you'll be able to find a way to get rid of it, but I'm sure you can.

　"Also, ...... is an engagement ring, Alicia. Take it.
　"An engagement ring, sir?

　Hercule took Alicia's confused hand and slipped it on her finger.
　It's a beautiful emerald.

　"This is for your collar, b*tc*. Do you like it?　Remember, your master is here.
　"Yes, sir.

　Alicia nodded again and again.
　Incidentally, this ring is enchanted to listen in on Citri.

　If Alicia acts suspiciously, you'll know.

　Alicia, move.
　"Oh, yes.

　Hercule pulls Alicia off his lap and stands up.
　Then he stretches.

　Then he took a long look at Alicia's body.

　"You have a nice body after all.
　"Oh, thank you, thank you.

　Alicia thanked him, shaking her head shyly.
　Alicia's breasts were about the size of Carolina's and Lunalie's.

　The size of Alicia's breasts is between Carolina and Lunalie, which is quite large for an elf.
　But what Hercule particularly liked were her slender legs and taut buttocks.

　Her lower body was well toned from riding horses every day.
　Hercule actually prefers women with moderate muscle tone.

　(I can't wait for the war to end so I can hold her)

　Hercule hadn't held Alicia yet.
　This was because he was at war.

　During the war, unless the soldiers have access to prostitution facilities, he has made a rule that he will not hold women.

　He was a strangely disciplined man in this area.
