MTL - After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 41 ask ira

  Chapter 41 Asking Ira

   "The Principality of Hazzard has admitted that foreigners, including monsters, can become citizens of the Principality of Hazard, and it also allows elves and orcs to become nobles of the Principality... Satan Ye, what do you think?"

  For Ira's question, Satan Ye was stunned, and subconsciously looked at Ila, Xilina, and Vera for help, but soon realized that this seemed to be a test.

  If it was Vera, she would probably casually say something like "see with your eyes" to prevaricate and play tricks...

"Well…"

   But Satan Ye thought seriously, and then came to a conclusion, saying: "The Principality doesn't have the confidence to defeat the Empire... because they never thought that the Empire would decisively stop the war against us."

   It is true, and this is something that many people can realize.

  The principality took the initiative to provoke a war against the empire. After watching for a long time, the principality believed that the strength of the empire was completely insufficient to deal with the monsters on the southeast line and the principality on the northeast line at the same time.

   In fact, it is true...

  The Empire’s [Consul] is a profession used to slaughter monsters. Although it can work on all creatures with mana except humans, it still cannot play a role in the war with the Principality.

  Even if the monsters will be destroyed within a hundred years, the empire will suffer a lot of losses due to the war between the two battlefields.

  No one expected that the empire would decisively evacuate the defenders in the territory controlled by monsters and the border of the empire on a large scale, and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the war with the principality.

  Even if there is no official large-scale battle, there are only small-scale frictions and collisions, but the result is obviously predictable... Two behemoths collide, and both sides will suffer damage to varying degrees.

  The principality may be hurt more seriously.

   "That's right, do you think the Principality's decision is correct?"

Regarding Yila's question, Satan Ye looked at Yila who was sitting on the horse holding the rein cautiously, she thought for a while, and said: "Probably, it's not correct... because all races will not be dragged into the water so easily by the Principality. "

"yes."

Ira, who has never learned how to ride a horse, responded. On the borrowed horse, he looked at Satan Ye walking around on the horse and said: "The principality hopes to get help from the source and other races, and hopes to get us (monsters) )s help."

   "But that's impossible. We need to work hard to recover after being severely injured. Other races are not so easy to enter. In the end, all they can get is the help of some free non-human races."

Although it is [Equestrian Class] and [World Situation Class], but the former Yila seems to be the one who is learning, he said: "Instead of the human race, with the power of the [Consul], you can also easily response."

   "..."

  Satan Ye thought about it carefully, she nodded in agreement, and said: "Whether we recover or not, as long as the World Tree still allows the existence of the [consul] profession, then we will not pose a threat."

  "The empire took this into consideration, so it decisively gave up on continuing to attack us, and gave up the opportunity to completely destroy the country with monsters... Isabella's strategy is really powerful."

Satan Ye, who felt that she still needs to continue studying, said, and then she looked in Ira's direction while she was pondering, and then saw Ira who was avoiding her gaze. She felt that she understood something, and said: "No... this is Mr. Ira, did you bring it up?"

   Indeed, this point of view is raised by Ira... This is the truth of the poor.

   "Actually, there are deeper considerations. As I said at the time...the empire needs the existence of monsters."

  Ira said this, if Isabella had listened to what she said at the time, then there is no need to worry about the monsters coming from the empire for the time being.

   "The monsters have reached the end of the mountain. Within a hundred years, the empire will choose an appropriate time to turn the area controlled by the monsters into a vassal state of the empire, and then gradually assimilate the monsters."

Ira, who was talking about his previous plan, gradually became familiar with the feeling of riding a horse. He said simply: "This is the strategy I proposed. The premise is naturally that it will be established within a hundred years. The happiness of the empire's life and the degree of material abundance It has become the envy of all races."

  I'm sorry, but...

   "In my plan, monsters and aliens will replace the status of the slaves of the empire, and the slaves of the empire will have the opportunity to become commoners one after another, and commoners can become nobles based on contributions such as military exploits."

"Then the titles of commoners and nobles began to be distributed wantonly. The titles below the Marquis were cancelled. The titles that the nobles had contributed to the land in exchange for it became insignificant. concentrated."

What Ira said made Vera, Xilina, and Satan Ye stunned. He touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "My plan may indeed be a bit vicious, but from the perspective of the empire... It’s a great thing.”

   Is it more than [somewhat] vicious? It can be said that this national policy clearly calculates human nature, demonic nature, and aristocratic urine nature, and arranges the empire's grand strategy for the next two hundred years...no, even five hundred years of the empire.

  It is as rough as a monster, but it also has a very high fault tolerance like a monster. Like a monster, it is as bright and upright as it is engulfing the general trend and cannot be stopped.

  Even now that Satan Ye knows about this plan, he still doesn't know how to deal with it.

   "Ahem, so today's exam question is...my strategy, how should I deal with it?"

  Ira asked...

  …

  How to deal with it?

  Should...how to deal with it?

   In a trance, Satan Ye seemed to feel that she was sitting in front of a chess table, while Ira was sitting opposite. Facing the given chess game, she could only hold the chess pieces, and had no idea how to place them.

   It's completely impossible to start.

No matter how I think about it, the chess path on my side is completely blocked, no matter what I do, it is useless, but... in a daze, the figure of Ira who was playing chess with her turned into a person who was still looking at the chess record in a daze. Tiny Queen.

   And Yila came behind her, gently holding the hand she was about to drop.

   "..."

   The answer is already very clear.

   "I don't know, I can't figure out how to crack this trick."

Satan Ye replied honestly. She looked at Ira who was briskly riding the horse with her, and said, "So, I will ask Mr. Ira to tell me...I am not asking, but giving my method .”

   "That is - ask you."

  Satan Ye, who said so, felt that he had found the only answer.

   "..."

   "Okay, the answer you gave to the test question is [Ask Ira]? Don't take advantage of small loopholes..."

  Ira smiled helplessly and indulgently. He learned how to ride a horse after only a short conversation, jumped off the horse, and stretched out his hand to Satan Ye like a knight picking up the princess.

   At the same time, he gave his own answer.

   "In a hundred years, let us become a country that the empire needs to look up to!"
