genius prince vol 8: chapter 27
The other is to force Natra to revere the West. After inviting Wayne to the Holy Meeting, he directed an east-west clash with Meertus. they will press Natra to decide whether to join west or not. It's okay if natra join in the west, and even if natra want join the east, it will be a good reason to crush Natra.
And these plans also have benefits on the Baldrosh side. The defense of Meertus could be an opportunity to show the fallen martial prowess. At the time of cooperation, the assistance of supplies was also promised. And above all-the possibility of driving Natra to the west was fascinating.
(If Natra join to the west, it will inevitably be separated from Lowellmina)
Natra is allied with the empire, but is said to support the Second Princess Lowellmina faction. This foreign backing undoubtedly plays a role in the stability of Lowellmina 's factional management. If this is lost, it would be very damaging to Lowellmina.
(Not bad ...... No, it's a deal we can only hope for.)
There is no way to reject this. That seems to be the case in every aspect. At the same time, the uneasiness is overcome because of the overly favorable transaction. Is it really okay to get on this plan? Evangelical Director Cardomeria hears that she is a considerable conspirator. He wonders if she's may be hiding something important from us that we can't see.
(But still ...)
Bladrosh is now being drained by two other factions. If you sit idly by, you will fall out of the battle for the throne. To stay afloat, he would have to grasp at straws.
"Lorencio, I understand your concerns, But now is not the time for hesitation.”
"Hmm ... I'm sorry."
"As soon as we arrive at Meertus, we will deploy troops. We will use our armed forces to destroy the western people who are trying to invade the territory of the Empire."
Lorencio meditated and bowed to bladrosh’s indescribable words.
……………………………
The west side of the Meertus city. It is the army of the Cavalis aristocrats that deploys away from the closed gates. A small number of less than 2,000. The equipment is poor and the morale is low. It seems to reflect the plight of Cavaline in recent years.
there were a pair of men and women watching from the rear of the noblemen's army.
"The plan seems to be going well."
" Of course it is. It was Caldomeria-sama's idea."
The man's name is Oulu. The woman's name is Ibis. Both were servants of Caldomeria.
"Still, I didn't think it would catch fire so easily. the merchants
from Meertus must have milked those aristocrats from Cavaline for
everything they were worth."
Originally, Cavaline is a rich country as it faces the important point of the central continent, Meertus. However, two years ago, King Oldrasse was assassinated and soon after he was defeated by Natra in the war, and the prestige of the royal family fell to the ground.
This stirred the top leaders to fight for the title of king. The battle was fought both front and back, and domestic security, production, and distribution were in chaos.
In such a situation, the aristocrats cannot manage the territory properly. Tax revenue will fall. their popularity among the people
waned. When they was wondering what to do, it was the Meertus merchants who came in contact with them.
They offered various kinds of assistance, such as people, goods, and money, to the aristocrats who were suffering from management. Many aristocrats jumped at it. Some aristocrats hesitated to see the merchant's aim. However, it did not overturn the premise that territorial management was difficult, and eventually succumbed to the merchants. Thus, the territory of the aristocrats was full of places where the merchants took their breath. As if cloth were stripped off one by one, they was deprived of various right before they knew it.
