Kingdom of Titania, ? ? ? ? —

"Have you come yet?" Star, who received and sent intelligence in the exclusive anti-detection space, confirmed the report from Alfin and said to himself.

"The combined combat power of all of us is not as good as Pith. If we just fight against them normally, we still have the confidence to win... But it's hard to say if you count the Nazarick Great Tomb itself and the unknown world-class props. Some losses are not What we want to take on."

[If the opponent has only a few to a dozen members who have reached the combat strength of Jaldabaoth (Demiurge), I think it is fine for us to take the initiative to attack. 】Alfin calmly said to himself.

[No, just wait and see what happens. Guild battles are different. Nazarick's strength is probably stronger than the mazes they have solved before. If they still have krypton gold means and can use world-class props, they will bring us heavy losses. This part of the loss should be avoided as much as possible. 】

[How to confirm whether they can krypton gold? 】

[Dancing clothes from the sea city can use krypton gold to summon world-class props from the air, it is better to regard Nazarick as more than this. At least the decisive battle with the main force of the opposing Guardians cannot be held inside Nazarick. Let's make full use of the indigenous forces that we have developed over the years to deal with them, let them have fun and at the same time think that their enemy is someone they can easily win with all their strength. 】

[That is, wait for them to attack and annihilate them outside? 】

[The basic strategy is tentatively set for this, and there is no precedent in the past so it cannot be confirmed, but it must be assumed that even if the guardian is killed, he can be resurrected by means of krypton gold. 】

[Then, isn't it endless? 】

[Therefore, it is necessary to reduce or even block Nazarick's stable financial resources from outside as much as possible. Even if the surrounding countries of Nazarick were reduced to ashes. 】

[... Scorched earth, right? 】

[Don't worry, we have no plans to implement the scorched-earth policy, but if we have to resist with all our strength and never take the initiative to give up an inch of land or resources to the other party, it will become like that sooner or later, right? 】

[But they have successfully plundered a city and a large number of villages and a lot of wealth. 】

[The value of statistics is indeed expensive, but under the guild's gold coin exchange mechanism, additional value other than material things will not be recognized. If an iron sword and a mithril sword are put into the gold coin exchange box, the mithril sword will naturally exchange more game coins; but if a tank and a metal block with the same weight and the same metal composition ratio are thrown in, the tank can There will not be more game coins to be exchanged. On the contrary, the exchange value will be greatly reduced due to the fact that it is basically impossible to return to the furnace after processing, and the same is true for various crafts and processed products. So in fact their gains were much smaller than the empire's losses, at least what the empire lost could not be transformed into the power of equal expansion in the hands of Nazarick. ] Star eloquently analyzed.

[So that’s the case, is this one of the reasons why Pease started the Industrial Revolution in the first place? 】

[No, I don't think Pease thought about it at all. Of course, I have thought about it. However, Alfin, you want to take the initiative to attack, is it because of Anna's affairs? 】

【…Um. 】

[As long as you don't break into the Great Tomb of Nazarick without permission, you are allowed to move freely. There is no need to worry about whether it will disrupt our strategy. 】

【…grateful. 】

The Empire of Bajas, Lee Yestiger—

Zanac Valleo Ingnar Lyle led the knights to stand in front of the inner city, confirming that the envoys from the imperial capital would arrive here soon after entering the city. The hovering armored ship surrounded by two rows of Griffin Knights...whether flying mounts or vehicles made him very envious.

From the price point of view, if you remove the armed forces and pay the after-tax income to the central government with the territory, it is not unaffordable to buy flying beasts and armored ships, but you need a considerable amount of connections to hold them normally. Non-border without military power It is not easy for local nobles to do this.

But it’s society’s fault—since it’s driven by monsters and monsters, it can be turned into a real combat unit with a little modification. If it’s released casually, it may give the upper class and the civilian underground a disguised possession of mercenaries that don’t need to be reported. Possibilities, unlike exorcising monsters and exploring unknown adventurers, are all "civil war supplies" that are more suitable for dealing with people. This is an act that a centralized state will never allow.

As a result, considering that there is a certain amount of export, you can always buy it if you want to buy it, but you need a certain network for all maintenance. Therefore, although the system dominated by magic engines and steam engines driven by fire-attribute monsters "boiling water" has been popularized in various fields other than the military, such as manufacturing and public transportation, it has never been able to enter the commodities that can be traded by non-state companies on a large scale.

But even if he was envious, he couldn't get these things. Zanac threw away his useless thoughts and said loudly: "This is the Earl of Lyle in the County of Re-Estage. I have received the order to guide everyone. Please follow me Wait."

The Griffin Knight walking in the leading array of the mission landed not far away, and responded loudly: "Understood, then follow the leadership."

"Understood, in the face of such a grand support and favor from the imperial capital, we were supposed to ring the bell and play music to welcome us, but some time ago, a part of the city was burned into a sea of ​​flames, and tens of thousands of residents disappeared out of thin air under the means of demons. Such tragedies prevent us from Ring the bell and play music, please forgive me."

"Of course, it doesn't matter."

"Thank you. Next, I will be in charge of the actions of the diplomatic mission Zaili Estij. I hope that you and the dignitaries of the diplomatic mission will remember me."

"Understood, I'll report right away."

"Thank you so much~lightnovelpub.net~ After the leading knight turned around and went back, Zanac was temporarily relieved.

His bloodline used to belong to the royal family of the Kingdom of Li-Estige. However, the kingdom has been destroyed for many generations, and the royal family's surname naturally no longer exists. It is a blessing to continue to serve.

The reason why he thinks this way is probably because he has never felt like a royal.

The father is very old; the elder brother is a martial artist with a simple mind and is not capable of great tasks; the younger sister has a monster-like head, but as a woman, she does not have the right of high line of succession; Went to the Imperial Academy of Magic to study.

The contemporary Patriarch naturally fell on him.

However, the Blood Emperor's new policy of weeding out the cumbersome old nobles disrupted all of this. Fortunately, he was a capable enough person, survived, and kept his title. However, Lana became the princess because of this—this is equivalent to not having a hereditary The meaning of high officials of power.
