Chapter 70
Side: AlshtailRitea
Are you okay with that?Have you acknowledged their enforcing?
One of the traders that supports Roshuru asked me.
(Alshtail)No, its fine. Indeed, Seraria has foreseen the amount of force the enemy would bring out this time.
Then, why with such a minor fighting force
(Alshtail)Its according to plan
Huh?
(Alshtail)It will be recognized that my judgment is wrong if they fail to annihilate1)their opponent. However, it is necessary for them to experience the fighting strength of the Dungeon.
I said the things just like Yuki-san had said to me.
Theyd make sure that the opposite faction couldnt retaliate, and that it would bring dissatisfaction towards me and theyd hence remove me from power.
Wow~ Thats wonderful. If the oppositions army truly fails as planned, then you can be in charge with anything. Indeed, Seraria-sama could have actually hidden some of her power?
Since they had scouted the Dungeon, they know that the defensive force of Roshuru is less than 400.
Then, they brought out a force of about 5000 fighters.
Thats why I had purposely disclosed the information.
I think it was a natural course of action for them.
(Alshtail)No, Seraria-sama only intends to fight the oppositions army with her own force.
What a joke. She cant compete with that strength.
Yes, it wont even be a match.
The opponents2)would be easily annihilated.
Oh, is that Kiyu-dono, will he attack from behind?In that case, the other partner will have no choice and they will fall in chaos. Dont worry Kiyu-dono. Alshtail-sama will be protected by us firmly. The opponent will withdraw by her unwavering might!!
As soon as he saw Kiyu-san, he made a conjecture.
(Kiyu)No no, as she said. I will not participate in this fight. To the end, Im protecting Alshtail-sama while she meets the emissary from Roshuru.
Kiyu-san denied him.
If you look at him, he didnt look that strong, but since we came No, when you listen to Serarias declaration, thats unthinkable.
As we expected of the opponents, they wanted to kill the emissary and Kiyu-san, and they would drag me along in the process
Kiyu-san had jumped towards the one who wanted to harm me, beat him up, and sent him to prison.
If Kiyu-san wasnt there, I would be gone for already.
For now, the factions who believed my words in the upper echelon increased.
Of course, since fairies were also in the Dungeon, there was another layer of people who agreed.
Lulu-samas effect was wonderful.
However, there seemed to be members of the opposite faction everywhere.
I wont lower my head to Roshuru!!There is no evidence that we tried to assassinate Herge-sama!!This is clearly a threat!!In addition, some mystery that pushed the fairies into a dangerous place such as a Dungeon, I dont believe it!!Lets annihilate the Dungeon and rescue the fairies!!Theres no doubt that we have to capture the suspicious Seraria and ask Roshuru for compensation!!
Oh, what the opponent said to rally people was rational.
Then, the refugees were the biggest problem.
There is no need to send them to another country. And its even foolish to provide funds for it!!Alshtail-sama, please clearly state your intention. Youre obviously choosing the refugees yourself. But we should save them ourselves, not others!!We already have proper rescuing measures, and emergency meals available!!Please dont grow impudent to the nation!!
Well, there was one way.
They werent asking for salvation here.
Many have become refugees because they were victims, and some because they couldnt find a job
But thats not all.
Then, Crack brought out the documents that described the flow of money.
(Crack)The collected money that is mentioned here that you talked about No, most of the collected money was used for private use, and cant be used anymore. It certainly wouldnt be enough to save all the refugees, but certainly more than half of them. Can you say really say that you are properly trying to rescue people after you look at this?
Well, thats
(Crack)Of course, everyone involved in this matter deserves a punishment Capital punishment3). So, if we temporarily support refugees, we are saying that we wont do anything about that. I actually saw the city with my own eyes, and thats enough to live. And if they die because of a plague, you wont have to be troubled by it.
Why people would die because of a plague?
There were many people who tilted their heads on the side when the plague was brought out as it increased the benefits of sending refugees to the dungeon.
It was not until Yuki-san told it to me that I noticed, but now I consented.
If you eat rotten things, itll break your stomach. So, you get rid of the rotten.
That the same thing was true for the animals in the neighborhood.
Birds and rats that eat it would also cause a plague.
Hmmm. Its reasonable. Moreover, Alshtail-sama, if you send refugees to the Dungeon, you wont have to worry about the plague and also the manpower Seraria-sama requires for her town can be secured. Should we accept Seraria-samas offer?Thats a threat, but should we accept?The trade is also much safer than to do so over long distances. Moreover, the fairies are there.
When one person said that, a lot of them nodded.
However, some people still didnt.
Eeeyy!Dont be deluded!!Maybe they are trying to kill us using the Dungeon!!Besides, what would the other countries think of us if they hear that we cant even take care of our own people!!Lulu-sama hasnt come back!!She is clearly a hostage!!
Hes right!!
Its not easy to accept as a country.
Thats why Seraria-sama left this plan.
(Alshtail)I also understand the opinion of those who oppose it. But you are the minorities. The Congress wants to go in the direction of the trade.
When I said that, it seemed that everyone was convinced except for the opposite faction.
Guh!!
The oppositions had distorted faces from the humiliation.
As Yuki-san said, its not necessary to leave them inside, right?
(Alshtail)However, we have received the proposal from Seraria-sama. If you neglect this only because you heard a small number of the opposite faction, that would leave unnecessary problems for later. Then, those who are dissatisfied should attack their Dungeon.
How!?
(Alshtail)So if you can get rid of Seraria-sama, you can use the Dungeon however you like. Im not going to join the quarrel, but if ever you can control the Dungeon, it will be a tremendous achievement.
Why would you admit the attack Alshtail-sama?
(Alshtail)So that, if the dissatisfied disappear, I think Seraria-sama would truly want to trade.
By saying this, the opposite factions were boosted purposely, and we could then collect all the disturbing people and annihilate them.
This was the strategy Yuki-san and Seraria talked about.
To make it look possible for the opposite faction, Seraria-sama only led a small force to defend the Dungeon.
And now, in front of us, the battle for the Dungeon had started.
There were about 100 people from the opposite faction.
In order to see the results, most of the higher ups participated.
Some of them pushed the oppositions armies forward.
Come, Alshtail-sama. Our army will catch Seraria-sama soon. At that time it shall be the proof of your incompetence. Because of that, youll lose the seat as the Holy Woman. A girl who cant use even simple strategy is useless. Ahahaahahah!!
One of the opponents representative denounced me with a loud voice.
But this kind of behavior was gone 2 hours later.
Because the army he was proud of was annihilated.
Th-thats a lie
In such a strange way, he looked at the Dungeons defensive force led by Seraria who was advancing towards me.
Impossible!?
Merely a hundred people had escaped in the two hours.
They were no longer in the state to talk but in a state of panic.
It was unavoidable.
Because there was too much difference in their abilities, they were now just like hunted beasts.
But, this was a necessary sacrifice for the peace of the world
(Seraria)Well, I wonder if you understood the extent of our capacities?
Said Seraria-sama who had walked in front of us.
Most of them were dyed in blood.
Looking at the figure of those around, no one except me and Kiyu could keep our breath.
(Alshtail)Yes, we will accept Serarias request, and about the trade
Sh-shut up!!That was certainly a trap!!Thats right, it must be!!Otherwise, 5 000 people cant lose against less than a hundred!!
Obstructing my words was the representatives of the opposition.
When you see it, they are full of little girls!!Such women and children cant beat an army!!I will knock them in this place!!
Within the confusion, Seraria-sama drew her sword.
It was too late to stop the trouble right.
Ah, gi?
When that voice echoed from him, the armor was halved, and including with his sword, fell on the ground.
Her sword was a little strange?Seraria stood there, expressionless.
(Seraria)Alshtail. I will handle the fight with the insiders. You, Are you from the opposite faction?
Ye-yes!!
(Seraria)Then, quickly push forward the refugee policy. We will start in one week as promised. Dont be late.
Having said that, Seraria returned the sword to its sheath and returned with her army.
(Seraria)There is no one in opposition to the trade with the Dungeon of Roshuru this time, right?
After a while, the higher up finally came back to his senses and reacted to my inquiry. He shook his head vertically.
And later, here are the results of the meeting.
As a mean of an apology to Seraria, it was decided that all the properties from the representatives of the opposite faction would be transferred.
They seemed to be very scared of Seraria-sama.
It would be tough with a lot of procedures.
The cleanup increased unnecessarily My stomach hurts.
==========
Afterword of the author
Alshtail seems to have stomach aches because of her worries Ahah.
