After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King

"Three days? Cough cough cough... vomit~"

As Orpheus said, she coughed fiercely, looking at the sand table on the table, and she watched the area belonging to the empire on the sand table being compressed into half its original size...but only the last 50% Area, no matter how you can't break through.

Now, she could only feel extremely disgusted... The nausea was so annoying that she couldn't help but retch.

"Why, there is such a thing as a [consul] in the world?"

With such doubts, Orpheus looked at the nine flags planted on the sand table in distress...they represent nine consuls, and they are consuls with the ability called [Death Trigger] and a [Seat] .

Originally, Orpheus' idea was... If the non-human members of the principality did not participate in the war, then the most powerful combat force in the empire [the Consul] would not be useful.

It is worth mentioning that the existence of [Death Trigger] is not a fact that everyone knows... Except for the high-level people in the empire who know this, only the monsters know it well.

And the monsters' understanding of this was bought at a huge price...

This is also the reason why the monsters are completely desperate for the empire... The opponent's strongest combat power, there is no way to kill - if you don't kill, then the opponent will kill me; if you kill, then we will destroy ourselves, and the opponent can be resurrected .

And now, Orpheus, who has come into contact with something like [Death Trigger], is also in deep anxiety at the moment, and as the speaker of the Principality's Parliament, she naturally has the level of seeing the whole leopard at a glance.

When the parliamentarians in the principality had already begun to open champagne and celebrate the staged victory, she had already realized a very serious point - a war that was destined to be impossible to completely win, no matter how huge the current advantage was, was meaningless.

The current situation is that within three days, the Principality's army can advance slowly, and the obstacles encountered in the middle are not considered serious... But every three days, terrible things will happen in the army formation , barracks, and cities.

Maybe it's the huge tentacles that break the sky and drag everything into the unknown plane, or the huge crack swallows everything, or the icy snowstorm freezes all life, or the shark in the shadow swallows everything...

At the moment before the end, all the principality army could see was a consul flying unhurriedly from high altitude, and...the blood of the consuls' self-termination dripped on the ground.

After that, everything rests.

What the principality exchanged for huge losses was the negative benefits in the war... The army that was supposed to be shattered and shattered, but slowed down and remained silent, barely able to maintain the current front line.

But if you don't use the number of people to pile up, or let the army disperse to reduce losses, it will also have the opposite effect.

"If you change a batch of consuls in two days... will it take fifteen days for those people's [Death Trigger] to continue to activate?"

Orfirus was thinking like this, she bit her finger lightly, she was listening to the communication of the civilians outside the house, listening to their good expectations for the future... She became more and more irritable.

Because the principality has no source of information... The spies sent out are almost useless. The knowledge in this area is completely blocked, just like being bound in a safe [cocoon], and there is no relevant information at all.

Or, it is she who is bound in the [cocoon] and cannot see the whole picture.

"No, you can't gamble... If the time is shorter, if this is just a smoke bomb..."

Orfirus muttered to herself, her eyes were empty, even though the weather hadn't gotten warmer yet, she was already sweating, and the sweat on her forehead ran across her nose, and then flowed down her snow-white neck.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The civilians outside the house... so noisy.

However, Orfirus couldn't think of any reason to poke her head out and scold her, because... the state of the principality is very good now, and the members of parliament have already started to compete for interests.

Yes, of course it is. Even if we take the initiative to end the war from now on, then the principality can be regarded as a huge profit. So... how can it make people unhappy?

But that's not the case...

The last half of the country cannot be conquered by the Principality.

And the reason why [War] is called [War], it is doomed that it is not something that can be ended unilaterally... The stretched front and the protracted war brought about are indeed in Orfirus' expectation among.

However, the blitzkrieg did not win, and the sudden change of the empire's system and the large loss of national power also eliminated the unstable factors... This was beyond her expectations.

This also symbolizes that Orfirus's confident [backhand] has completely lost its effect... Originally, she was still able to fight fiercely between the [Noble faction] and the [Ira faction]. article.

Orpheus: So, why are the nobles of the empire so useless?

And if this is the case, the empire will be completely governed by the [Ira faction], and it is necessary to start thinking about Ira's attitude... This is really a very bad thing, because now Ira symbolizes the Demon King's Realm.

This world...is absurd,

...

The [Consul]'s harvest was too quick, and because of the problems in the Principality's system, various nobles surrounded their own troops, and their troops could not always be deployed in the same place on the battlefield.

The bargaining chip of war needs to be pressed even more.

Thinking of this, Orpheus sniffled, shook her head and put on a dress herself... It was clearly spring, but the weather seemed to be getting colder.

This is really not good news, because of the previous [Four-legged Riot], the crops and farmland have suffered a lot of damage, and this year's autumn harvest may not be very good... This year's cold season may be even more difficult.

Although the same is true of the empire at this point.

However, with the reduction of land, the large-scale loss of population, and the food that the nobles gave with their lives, it is not too easy to bear the "refugees" who are the names of people who need to be supported.

"Really, everything is not good..."

As Orpheus talked to herself, she began to resent that nobleman named [Caligula]... He was tried with his colleagues a few days ago, and I heard that he originally planned to defect to the Principality .

defect? Throw a fart!

It is said that [Caligula] planned Ira's departure, which led to the betrayal of the nobles... Whether it is true or not, the fact is that everything he did disrupted Orfirus' plan.

This caused the empire to take a breather, and even... counterattack!

—————————

Caligula: So, I'm dying to contribute to the empire... that's good.

Uther: ...

Caligula: My lord, you don't want this attitude, I've always been a loyal minister... At least I haven't done anything to deceive others, have I? He has always been devoted to the empire, right?

Uther: Hahaha! I know, I know, it’s a battle of ideas...well~
