I became embarrassed, said goodbye to Miss Kriemhild, and returned to the office.
Then I ask them to call Prytanis to make the next move.
I guessed that Prytanis knew that he was going to be called.
Before I could speak, he leaned forward.
“Lord Alfred, I see that you have decided on your next move.”
He is very aggressive…more like he’s trying to hurry me up.
“I would like to confirm something before making my final decision. But you seem to be in a great hurry.”
Prytanis took a breath and opened his mouth.
“If my father continues to be made to dance by Lord Alfred, more sacrifices will be made. Of course, I do not blame Lord Alfred. My father foolishly doesn’t understand what he is fighting against.”
Prytanis has defected.
But my strategic goal – to wipe them out – hasn’t changed.
In between, Prytanis saves those who can be saved.
""
I’m just giving it the green light.
“If we fight a short war, our casualties will increase. If we are going to stand for assimilation, we will look at a short war so as not to increase resentment after the war is over. If we wipe them out, we will focus on how to reduce our casualties rather than how long it will take. We don’t have to think about the aftermath of the war.”
Prytanis shrugged emphatically.
“I have no right to interfere with your basic policy. All I can do is to help settle the matter as soon as possible, that’s all I can do.”
“I, for one, would like it to be over as soon as possible. That’s where I want to upset Dorius internally.”
Prytanis folded his arms and pondered.
“Do you want to directly put your hand in my father’s pocket and stir him up? How?”
“I’ll send the information to him via familiar. In addition, the fake third child who has been detained and left unattended for a long time. Let’s use him too. But we’re just here to get rid of the trouble.”
As a matter of fact, we had him in custody the whole time, but we were having trouble dealing with him.
Punishing them would be ex post facto law.
There was no law that made identity theft a crime.
There is a custom of deciding the penalty by the lord’s authority.
But I rejected that kind of man-made rule.
I cannot decide to go against the spirit of the law right after the law is put into operation.
Even if I wanted to accept them, they live by Dorius’ theory.
I have no choice but to kick them out.
But still, I wanted a pretext.
Prytanis looked interested.
He leaned a little toward us.
“So, what kind of information do you want me to give to them?”
“If you withdraw your commitment to human supremacy, we will not take your life or enslave you. We will not tolerate discrimination in the future, although past deeds will not be questioned. That is all I want to tell them. There is a possibility that the practitioner who receives the information will suppress it for his own protection.”
The task given to the magician is to get information about us.
That and how to manipulate the familiar is all.
So, if they are presented with a dangerous turnover, they will just have trouble coping with it.
""
It could be taken as an act of self-interest.
“If I tell the beastmen, things will be a little different. What should I say to my impostor?”
“I’ll release you on the condition that them tell me the same information.”
Prytanis couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Exactly free good riddance. You would never give a message that could be dangerous.”
“Yes, because the cost of just feeding them and assigning surveillance personnel to them would be a waste of money. Instead, we need a way to get the message out to Dorius’ people.”
Prytanis pondered.
I did not interrupt him from thinking, but waited for his answer.
Prytanis has Dorius’ inside knowledge.
He is our best bet here.
Then, Prytanis made a face like he made his decision.
“I can manage if you promise me one thing, Lord Alfred. But the beastmen in charge of the message will be disposable.”
In other words, you’ll use the captive beastmen.
The secretaries’ hands stop at the word “disposable.
The captive beastmen may operate under the direction of Dorius.
They are not people that we can accept and feel comfortable with.
In other words, there is no way to deal with them except to pass on information.
Let’s respect Prytanis’ judgment here.
“It depends on the content. I’m sure it will not be an unreasonable promise, but we need to be sure.”
“The promise is that after defeating my father, you will protect the clan and make the head of the clan a representative. And that the beastmen under my father’s rule would henceforth be treated as equal citizens. Under these conditions, I will recruit the applicants and return them to my father’s domain. I will spread the word among the beastmen, and at the same time, I will spread this story on paper throughout the town.”
“The beastmen won’t let them in.”
Prytanis gets a mischievous look on his face.
“There are secret back doors. Only a few people know about it.”
There’s one problem with that suggestion.
“If it were known that Prytanis had defected, wouldn’t they block that road?”
Prytanis chuckled, feeling troubled.
That trouble was probably directed at the people back home.
“They can’t them. It is an emergency escape route for the leaders only. And since it would be bad if they knew it existed, we don’t even keep it under surveillance. Even when I used it, it was unmarked. In addition, the number of human beings is decreasing a lot. Even if we came up with the idea, they wouldn’t have the time to monitor it.”
If there’s no damage here, I don’t see a problem with trying.
But…there is one thing we need to be sure of.
“Will the plan be passed down the connection via the familiar?”
Prytanis gave a small laugh.
Countermeasures would naturally be factored in.
“I will choose someone who is not a familiar. After informing them of the current situation, I will ask a non-familiar beastman to run for the position. Because of the future, there should be no falsehoods here. And as for the beastman who is a familiar, I’m sure my father would want to keep him here.”
Either way, there are not many moves we can make.
We’ll just have to leave it to them.
“I understand. I will keep that promise in my name. Will you do it that way?”
Prytanis seemed relieved.
“Thank you very much. To be honest…I didn’t expect the situation to change so quickly. Lord Alfred seems to be able to defeat the young sage of the demon tribe.”
Is there some kind of weirdo out there again?
“A young sage?”
“Yes, he is a little older than Lord Alfred. He has been renowned for his talent since the beginning of the tribe. I have also compared wits with him, but I have never been able to beat him.”
The hard mode is still going on.
I can’t help but feel sick of it.
“What is that person’s name?”
“Valentin Helhenil Balschmiede. He is a man who belongs to the family of the chief.”
I hope he won’t be hostile to us…
Because lately, villains are becoming my addictive role.
I don’t mind it, but … Mil and Kiara resent it.
I would be upset too if someone said something bad about Mil and Kiara.
So I don’t want to ignore their feelings by saying I don’t mind…
“I hope the chief is affected, and that he is a rational person.”
“There are influences. He is a skilled orator and has a very high level of pride. He is full of merit.”
Ah, I feel like it’s a bad flag… great potential for hostility.
But let’s think about the thunderstorm in the distance, after we clear up the flood in the foreground.
“For now, that wise man will have to wait. Shall we finish the battle with Dorius?”
“Oh, you’re right. I know it’s irresponsible… but I can’t wait to see which one of us wins.”
That’s just irresponsible… It’s not like this is a battle comic book, where the enemies get stronger and stronger, it should only be in the world of entertainment.
I suddenly realized.
I picked a fight with God… Well, of course, they’ll get stronger…
I became embarrassed, said goodbye to Miss Kriemhild, and returned to the office.
Then I ask them to call Prytanis to make the next move.
