Tomie's Unlimited Journey

A month later, the Kingdom of Li Estis held a palace meeting in the Wallasia Palace.

Gazef, who remained motionless and alert beside King Rambusa III, frowned slightly as he looked at the six nobles gathered together.

It is quite rare for all six nobles to be present.

Among the six nobles who have the most territory under the king, there is always one that is more powerful than the king in many fields such as military and financial resources. For this reason, they often use various excuses to be absent from the king's summons, especially

Paul Lophou, the leader of the anti-royal nobles, did not even hide his contempt for the king.

In addition to the nobles, the king's three children were also present.

The most eye-catching among them is of course the three "Golden Princesses" Lana Thielle Chardonnay Lyle Versace.

Secondly, there was the second prince, Zanak Bouarion Igana Railu Bouaisef, who followed the king and acted for the people during the demonic turmoil in the royal capital, thereby improving his reputation.

Finally, there is the eldest son, the first prince Balubro Andorea Yaledo Leer Vaseluf. He has a strong body and neatly trimmed hair. It is Paul Lopp who is waiting in the dark.

Action wants to put the person on the throne.

Lord Brumlash is nearly forty years old. He has gold mines and mithril mines in his territory. Relying on the precious metals produced there, he has become the richest noble in the kingdom. However, it is said that he is very greedy and stingy. There are even some

There were rumors that he betrayed the kingdom and sold information to the empire, but because the king could not provide conclusive evidence, he never took action.

The oldest among the six nobles is the Earl of Urovana Border. His hair is completely white and sparse. He looks like he has no hair at all. However, he is the most charismatic figure among the several nobles.

.

Opposite him were three great nobles belonging to the noble faction.

Standing at the forefront is the central figure of the aristocratic faction, Marquis Paulo, who holds the largest territory among the six nobles. Although he is over fifty years old, his raptor-like eyes will make people think that he is a

A battle-hardened warrior.

The aristocratic faction's Paul Lopu, Linton Bo and the king's faction's Ulovana border chief support the first prince Balubuluo. Most of the nobles who have nothing to do with these factions support the marriage of the eldest daughter.

Marquis Besbeya and Marquis Raven supported the second prince Zanak.

Not long ago, Gazef thought that it didn't matter who became the king, but now he supports the second prince Zanak personally.

"Then let's get started now."

The old king's tone changed slightly compared to usual, which made Gazef feel a little uneasy.

"Read the declaration from the empire."

Following the king's order, the attendants at his side began to read out the contents on the parchment.

The general content is that the Bahas Empire recognized Nazarick, the organization led by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, the great magic caster, as an independent country and formed an alliance with it.

Originally, the outskirts of E-Rantel were lands occupied by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, but the Kingdom of Li-Estij is now illegally occupying it, and for this reason, it must be returned to its rightful owner.

If they do not comply, the Empire will assist Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, launch an attack on the kingdom, and seize back the territory belonging to Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown.

Such a ridiculous declaration...

Gazef couldn't help but feel slightly lost. No wonder the king summoned so many people.

"Just in case, we also investigated the history of the kingdom, but there is no record that a person named Ainz Ooal Gown controlled the vicinity of E-Rantel."

After the attendant finished speaking, he bowed and left.

"This is nonsense that can't even be called an excuse!"

"What a nonsense!"

"Although the period has been greatly delayed, isn't this the empire's annual invasion? They always find some annoying reasons to come here. This time it was because they ran out of materials to find trouble, so they brought out the name of the magic caster.

Really? He even added an exaggerated title like the Sorcerer King!"

Even the aristocratic faction, which had always been at odds with the king, became agitated because the excuses used by the other party to attack were really unacceptable to them.

"I seem to have heard this name somewhere, isn't it, Warrior Captain Stronov?"

Earl Linton looked at Gazef with a sneer.

"If the name is correct, he should be the magic caster who helped me when I went to the outskirts of E-Rantel."

As soon as Gazef finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from below.

"I see. I'm afraid I mistakenly thought that the warrior commander was one of my own subjects, so I helped you."

"The Imperial Army was attacking the countryside near E-Rantel at that time, right? The magic caster was already there when you went there, so it seems that they must have colluded, and maybe they wanted to take advantage of you.

Where is the kingdom’s information?”

"That arrogant magician doesn't matter at all. What we need to decide is how to respond to the empire's declaration!"

Just as Gazef was thinking about how to respond, Paul Lophou interrupted the topic.

But in fact, there is no need to think about it at all...

As Gazef had predicted, everyone decided to fight the Empire. After all, if it retreated because of such a declaration, the kingdom would lose its face. However, Gazef was worried because he knew that Ainzi

Er Gong was so powerful that even he felt that he had only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg.

He opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words.

But there is still a problem before everyone's eyes at this moment.

That is the issue of military strength.

The soldiers of the kingdom are different from the empire. Most of them are recruited temporarily. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are more than one level behind the elite imperial army. The only advantage is their numbers. The small fights over the years are also based on

The numerical advantage is barely equal.

But this time the scale is different.

Both the noble faction and the king-supporting faction are full of fighting spirit, and even put forward the idea of ​​​​a showdown with the other party in Elandir. It would be a war in which hundreds of thousands of troops would strangle each other!

...Even Gong may not be able to influence such a war.

Gazef thought for a while and retracted his naive and stupid idea. He would only be ridiculed if he asked the king to cede the land.
