Three days later, I was visiting the Miyagi Palace of the Heedata Empire for the first time in a long while. Naturally, I was on my own. Rico had given the faerie dragon a letter of reply to Queen Taunzet, and the code had asked me to transfer to His Majesty's private chambers in three days' time.

To tell the truth, I don't really like this kind of exchange. I don't doubt Rico in the slightest, but if he wanted to, he could pass information about Agartha to the Empire.

With these slightly mixed feelings in my heart, I transfer to His Majesty's private chambers. I found that only His Majesty was in the room. Not even the Prime Minister was there.

I'm sorry for summoning you so suddenly...

Sitting comfortably in his chair, he invites me to sit down. He is wearing a kind of gown, instead of his usual glittering attire. I have never seen His Majesty in such a relaxed manner.

"How is Lady Eril?"

Suddenly, he is asked about his daughter. I am a little puzzled by this unexpected question.

"Yes,...... yes,...... she is in good health."

"My son Arrows and Lord Eryl are a legitimate bride. Even though their parents have decided on this marriage, it would not be good for either of them to see each other until they are married.

"In our country, there is a school for children of noble families called Isaemon. The Arrows will enroll them there next year. If you would like, why don't you enroll him there too?"

"Uh, ......"

"In the future, you will marry into our country. There is no better way to make friends with the nobles of the empire than by getting to know them from an early age. Those who attend Isaemon are the children of our nobles and the children of the nobles of the countries with which the Empire is in close contact. Many of them will be in positions of power in the future. It will be beneficial to your future to make their acquaintance from childhood. It would be far better than marrying into a land you know nothing about.

"Um, ...... your majesty, what are you talking about?　Is that why you brought me all the way out here?"

"......This is not what I did. No, it's not my fault, I'm the one who called you here.

His Majesty stood up with a cough and opened a drawer of his desk and took something out from inside. Then he spread it out on the table where I was sitting.

"What is this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's a new map of Dorga."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I stare at the map. I see some kind of red and black lines drawn on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are these lines?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The red line is the moat and the black line is the wall."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......It's a really nice fort, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His Majesty nodded slowly at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Moreover, the moat and the walls were built within the past week!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"One ...... week?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I shouted out loud. I look around. It seems no one is home.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How big is this town called Druga?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's about 10 kilometers square.

"To build a moat and walls in such a city in a week is ...... a monster ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I doubt even I could complete it even with my best efforts. ...... No, I can't. I might be able to do it if I work tirelessly, but I'll collapse before I can finish it.

"......It seems certain that there is a considerable sorcerer."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. That's one thing, but what I'm most interested in is the location of this moat and the walls. If they build something like this here, there is no way to attack. How do you plan to attack it, Mr. Linos?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's hard to say from the map alone, but from what I can see, I don't see anything that looks like a weakness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This makes it difficult to attack by force. Even if we try, we will lose a lot of lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, will you? That's what I'm talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't want me to take back this city, do you?

"......"

You got that right. That's very clever. This is a very difficult job.

"Lyssen, commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, has asked for reinforcements of 100,000 men. Apparently, he wants to push us around by asking for numbers. If we do so, how much damage will we incur? ....... If we are not careful, we may even be wiped out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I agree. If we do this, we will have no choice but to cut off their food supply and leave them out in the sun to dry."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But this city has a port."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'd say we're well supplied.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right. It is difficult to blockade the sea. If our empire were at full strength, it would be possible. ......

"No, it would upset the people too much."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's right."

His Majesty exhales slowly and looks at me again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As is Lyssen, as is the Warlovian Imperial Guard. They see Dorga as nothing more than a city. They don't care about the failure of the previous operation, and they're just trying to repeat the same mistake.

"That would give the enemy more momentum to invade the Warlov Empire from this base in Durga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. The clock is ticking. If we leave the matter to them, Warlov will be burnt to ashes and our country will have a blade at its throat. I ask you to take charge of this mission. I don't ask for free. I will give you half of the emperor's fee.

"Kotei Goryo?"

Ask Ricoulette for details."

"...... Okay. But, Your Majesty, when did you acquire such military knowledge?　I think it's a fine insight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not me. It's Diana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Who's Diana? ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wife of Vyrus. She is quite knowledgeable about military matters. With that face, she seems to be interested in military matters."

His Majesty laughed and laughed. I looked at the map again as I watched him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's just that this fortress ...... is completely seamless. I remember someone saying that a castle with no gaps is easy to drop ....... Now, let's attack here ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think with my hand on my chin. I don't want to do it, but I'd like to take a look at this fortress ...... once. My curiosity is piqued.......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His Majesty looked at me with a satisfied expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was so curious to see it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How do you like it? I have a spectacular view."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was Royce who had a look of satisfaction on his face. He was humanized and equipped with armor. Next to him, kneeling on one knee on the ground, was his sister, Shario. She, too, was wearing armor, but she was breathing on her shoulder, so that sometimes I could hear the sound of iron touching each other.

......Totally, my brother inside makes me do impossible things.

She was appalled at his recklessness. One after another, he ordered her to build moats and walls, and then he ordered her to work on the moats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At first glance, it seemed like a simple task. His brother's order was simply to dig a trench in the moat. However, when he looked at the sample he had made, it was of a rather complicated shape, and it took a lot of work to make the same one.

Lois does not pay attention to her and turns her eyes to the newly built moat and walls.

"No problem at all. It's perfect. Now let's put the finishing touches on it.

He concentrates his magic on his left hand. A small fireball is produced. It slowly left his hand, and then suddenly went towards the sea at high speed.

A pillar of fire rises from the border between the sea and the moat. After a moment, the sound of an explosion and the shock of the explosion are felt.

A large amount of water poured in from the sea, and in a moment the moat was filled with seawater. Royce looks at it with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Now it's done. The fortress will surely move Linos, the king of Agartha. A man who does not move his finger when he sees this is an ordinary general. A good man will understand the charm of this fortress.

Royce laughs and laughs. Chario continued to look at his brother with a puzzled expression on his face.
