Chapter 100 Piercing Demon Curio

Translator: Isekai Shousetsu

That day, a festival was being celebrated in the Rosyth Kingdom.

The first of the good news was three days ago.

It seems Bartolo, who had been granted Imperium, had destroyed the enemy army - all with a damage to their side below 200.

After this news was first sent to King Rosyth, it was immediately made known to the great clansmen after which it was made public to the commoners.

Since the Rosyth Kingdom had been on the defensive in wars for several tens of years, this news was music to the ears of the people and brought them great joy.

If they had won the war, then it would mean that theyd been able to plunder considerably and that large numbers of slaves would enter the country.

Even the commoners stand to gain much profit from this victory.

The next good news came the following day.

The United Army successfully captured the DeMorgal Kingdoms capital bloodlessly. It seems Prince Aldo has abandoned the defense of the capital and fled.

As such, today, King Rosyth is receiving information that most of the great clansmen of the Aldo faction is now, one by one, defecting to the Carlo faction.

It seems 70% of the great clansmen have defected on our side. Just a week more is what it should all take before we complete the subjugation of the enemy.

As I said so while surveying the great clansmen, they give off large cheers.

I also want to join these men in their cheers.

As expected of Bartolo. Its a great victory much more than what I had imagined.

It seems it was a great decision to appoint him Imperator.

If this keeps up, the civil war is sure to end soon.

Not only did I get more territory and a vassal, I managed to get them with pretty much no damage. Its the best outcome.

The war costs money for the meantimehowever, if its just for a short period, then it wouldnt be that much of a huge cost.

Basically, its fine to recognize that the war is beyond what we can handle if it stretches on for more than three months.

A month still hasnt even passed since this war began so we still have financial leeway.

Raymond, how is it with the Belvedere and Eville Kingdoms?

Both kingdoms show no sign of movement. In any case, right now, its easy to see that theyd get the tables turned on them once General Bartolo returns after all.

In otherwords, vigilance against both countries is needless anxiety, huh.

For the present, once this war ends, protection against the north would be flawless since, in any case, the DeMorgal Kingdom, once our greatest enemy, has been bound in an alliance with us.

Next is to take down the Belvedere Kingdom, and after that the Eville KingdomI wonder if such an order is good?

Obtaining an official alliance with Lezzad might go smoothly after all if we attack the Belvedere Kingdom.

If we manage to take down these two countries, then countries that would be able to oppose us would cease to exist.

After that, wed advance south and if we manage to absorb the small to medium kingdoms therethen its easy to see the unification of the Adernia Peninsula.

For the meantime, shall we bring the news to the people? That should probably quell any dissatisfaction after all.

Having few people dead is an achievement.

No matter how much you win and advance, if the dead numbered high, then dissatisfaction would swell.

Are the preparations for the Triumph advancing? As promised, prepare liquor.

But before that, I need to think about the territory I need to give Bartolo as reward, huh

Right now, weve been blinded by the thought of victory that we completely neglected the problem that Prince Aldo has yet to be caught.

This would later call forth a great catastrophe

Ugaaaaaaaa!!!

Just about the same time, Mari is tearing her head out in frustration.

According to Maris plan:

To give Prince Pax achievements, the DeMorgal Kingdom would attack the Rosyth Kingdom.

They would choose at their discretion the moment when the Equus tribe provides reinforcements and install Ledus as head of the tribe.

If everything went as planned, then they would certainly have both Eville and Belvedere Kingdoms participate in the war.

The moment the Rosyth Kingdom is weakened, the Rozel Kingdom will attack the DeMorgal Kingdom from behind. After that, as payment for the help, the Rosyth Kingdom shall become their vassal.

Thats how things were supposed to go.

From the very beginning, this plan got destroyed.

By a strange twist of fate, King DeMorgal died and a civil war broke out. There, the Rosyth Kingdom intervened and secured a huge victory

UmmmLady MerlinIt couldnt be helped, yes? Theres no way anyone couldve expected that King DeMorgal wouldve died that

NoI was careless. Even though just by looking at that belly, it wouldnt be strange for him to get one or two illnesses from his habitsI didnt even try to check it.

That said, as expected, it would be difficult to plant a Rozel sorcerer into the directly supervised King DeMorgals doctors.

Therefore, it really couldnt be helped. Perhaps, it was mischief of the heavens

His Majesty has said that you shouldnt mind it, you know?

Well, of course, hed say that. Theres no person in this country capable of giving me punishment, you know.

Basically, in the Rozel Kingdom, the upper stratum of the Rozel Kingdoms society consists of the capable people Mari herself had chosen. Mari also holds the important right to decide who the next King Rozel would be.

Mari had saved the first King Rozel even before he had founded the Rozel Kingdom.

No person holds any doubt in Maris authority.

It couldnt be helped if that Lady Merlin had failed
