In the eastern part of the eastern continent, the Military nation of Trisen exists on a land that was never rich. Most of the land except the capital is covered with deserts, and food supplies are scarce every year. Also, the temperament is extremely aggressive and exclusive, probably because a group of mercenaries formed the country as a mercenary nation. During the war, the invasion was made to secure goods, and a large number of slaves were used to develop it. Nowadays, peace is tied up and there is no dispute, but it can be said that it is a country with less cohesion than the other three countries.
Trisen was now in a predicament. Three countries, including Delamis, Gowns, and the water country of Trage, have denounced the black wind. A group of adventurers led by Christoph, paraded by Trisen as a hero, Christoph kidnapped women and children unjustly as the head of Black Wind and was rescued by the Heroes. A magic item, which records the testimony of the hero, was presented, and Christoph and others have even confessed that they were planning to send the captured people to Trisen. It was a situation where it was impossible to escape.
This is the round table conference room of Trisen Castle. It is a place where only the royal family, limited aristocrats, and the highest rank of the military can enter, where they discussed the countryâs top secrets. In the center of the room was a round table decorated with gorgeous wooden decorations, led by Zell Trisen, the king of Trisen, and generals of each legion were called up.
King Zell slowly opened his mouth in the heavy air that had calmed down.
â Iâm sorry to have called you up suddenly, I know everyone is busy.â
âMy father, Clive hasnât come yet.â
This man, who called the King of Trisen as âfatherâ, is Asgrad Trisen. The general of the Dragon Cavalry, the first Prince of Trisen. He is at the pinnacle of the warriors of his army with his extraordinary talent not for familiar status. There are five princes in Trisen, but he is the only one in the military generalâs top position. The most notable example of this is Tabla that was beaten down by Kelvin, as he cannot stand on its own pedigree alone in the meritocratic Trisen. The flesh that has been trained is not even compared to other warlords, and the dragonâs riding ability is also outstanding.âWell, Iâm sure he is bringing a woman to the room anyway. He has that habit, is disgusting.â
Asgrad bites his tongue while watching the only empty seat on the round table.
ââŠI donât have time. Letâs get started. As we all know, Christoph was arrested by the heroes of Delamis. At this stage, not long after the implementation of the plan.â\n
A plan to abduct people to secure slaves using the group of bandits âBlack windâ. It was okay to purposely set up a big festival for the adventurers who defeated the Black Wind of the time and led the brainwashed remnants. It was carefully planned and recently launched, but the result was this.
âSure, the creator of this plan was⊠Tristan.â
Zellâs sharp eyes moved and the person behind that line of sight was Tristan Faze. Trisenâs prestigious aristocrat who was the general of the âMixed Demon Beast Groupâ. Although It claimed to be a demon beast group in addition to the trained monsters, it also included âsub-humanâ slaves. Like the Constitution of the country, Tristan advocated the supremacy of the human race so, he proposed this plan of using Black Wind to Zell, aimed at strengthening the army that followed him.
âNah, I had hope in them⊠but I suppose they were only savage adventurers.â
Tristan posed exaggeratedly.
âTristan, it doesnât matter what your thoughts and explanations are. What the king wants to say is how you intend to take responsibility for this blunder. This has made a part of our countryâs shadow public. The other three countries have already begun to form alliances, right?The name of the old knight who bit Tristan was Dan Darba. He was a warrior who had been serving Trisen for many years. Now he is the general of the âIron Knightsâ, which is a heavy armor strong cavalry, who excel in mobility, as well as siege weapons and various types of soldiers. It is also Dan who has given Azgrad a command in the army, and his trust is high.
âDonât get so hot, General Dan. Youâll have a shorter life span, wonât you?â
ââŠâŠWhat did you say?â
Dan stands up and glares at Tristan. If it is an ordinary person, it will faint by this pressure, but this Tristan looks at Dan half-laughing.
âGive up. You are in front of His Majesty.â\nA beautiful voice that does not belong to this place is heard in the room.
âBut ShtraâŠâ
âGeneral Dan.â
ââŠI understand.â
After a little silence, Dan sat down.
The name of the girl who kept Danâs anger down was Shtra Trisen. Zellâs only daughter and the only princess of Trisen. Her appearance is beautiful, and even the people and soldiers questioned whether Shtra and Tabla were born by the same mother. Originally someone could only become a General if you were, male, Shtra fully demonstrated her talents, and though she is young, she has climbed to the general of âDark Sideâ. Only Zell knows whether it was the consideration of the aristocrats that gave her the dark side, which was shrinking year by year, or whether she found her potential.
âOh, youâre really weak against princesses.â
ââŠâŠâŠâ
Despite Tristanâs provocation, Dan seems determined to ignore him. A sigh leaks from Tristan just as âWhatâs going on?â
âLeave that much for pranks. Tristan, roughly as Dan said. Now our country is in trouble. Christoph has been removed by the hero and put the excuse that he has nothing to do with Trisen, but it wonât go away. If we do poorly, we could end up in a war against three countries. Thatâs where you, the general, have to take responsibility.â
Clear killing intent. The weight of remarks that only the king has. However, even if he receives it, Tristan still does not move.\n\nââŠI support the war.â
ââŠOlder brother?â
Azgrad voted for it. Shtra, who was so calm before, was surprised, it was truly unexpected.
âIâve had a few skirmishes with Gownâs soldiers, but I donât think theyâre that strong. I donât rely on Cliveâs guys, but Trisenâs power has increased significantly since he came. And the Dragoons have that.â
âOh, I got it by beating a lot of money. Now itâs 2 in favor and one against.â
âOh, I didnât think weâre going to take up a general vote here.â
Trisen has a system in which a majority vote is made by five generals and opinion is submitted to the king. Although it is the king who makes the final decision, its effect is immeasurable, and the king cannot dismiss it. Because that is the act of disdaining the majority of generals. On the contrary, there is a risk to the general who proposed the general vote. In the unlikely event that the opinion does not meet the support of the majority, there is a punishment that changes the sin with a single order of the king. The punishment may be light, but in some cases, it could be a death sentence. Because the agenda of this time is a thing, the punishment from the king will be considerable, too. On the surface, Tristan seems dignified, but he was betting his life.
âMy lord obviously I disagree! Thereâs enough to play around with!â
ââThatâs a shame. So now the number of votes is the sameâŠâŠ The one left is General Clive, but he isnât here.â
Everyone turns to Cliveâs empty seat.
âHa, ha, ha, Tristan, youâre bold no matter how you look like. Okay. Letâs accept this general vote with your life. Someone! Call me Clive!â
