<> replied to the question from Niestor Cirillo Jagus, Duke of Jagus.
"Do you think you can do such a thing?
Aeas smirked with a twisted face as the King asked back.
"Yes, I can."
"How? Let's hear it."
Deus ex machina asked in a slightly angry voice.
"You want to hear it?
This time <<> spoke up. And then ,
"Let's hear it ......!"
he said in a low voice.
"......Niëstor Cirilo Jagus, Duke of Jagus, do you not know what it is?"
This is .
"You are the Duke of Jagus. How do you rule your people?"
<<> said bluntly.
"...... is it ...... brainwashing them into obeying you?"
The king, his face slightly pale, asks again in a weak voice, and Aeas replies again, "That's right.
"That's right."
"Don't ...... be silly!"
The Duke of Jagus is furious. But the 5 brushed off his anger as a breeze in a willow.
"What are you so angry about? Is this not what you have done?"
Suenk, with an air of aloofness, says to the king.
"Gumm ......"
Hearing this, the king was speechless.
"I see......... I see...the countries in the east that are members of the <> are difficult to attack, so they targeted the four non-member duchies..."
Deus ex machina spoke up. Hearing this, smirks.
"You are very perceptive, aren't you? That's right."
"...... And in answer to the question, <>, you mean we should drop them before the four duchies officially join the >, right?"
Now Jin D said.
"And moreover, we couldn't take action while the Malquitas were there, could we?"
"Yes, that's right, <>."
Lalva answered Jin D with a smirk.
"The three duchies except for the Duchy of Jagus were able to get together earlier than we had planned, so we reluctantly sailed out with these three ships. ......"
I see," the old man thought as he piloted the Jin D. "If there was time, he was planning to bring the remaining ships in the western part of the Pandor continent with him.
"You have thrown us off schedule so much that we have had to retreat for a time. ......."
Lalva's face twisted again and he chuckled. The expression on his face showed the difference in perfection between him and the other five.
"If we take you down here, our threat will be reduced by half!
Aeas said excitedly.
"<>, huh?"
Jin D muttered, but no one in the room seemed to be able to understand the phrase, except for Makina.
"...... So you're saying that you didn't intend to discuss this from the beginning?"
The indignant Duke of Jagus.
"That's right. You're a fool to come here so brazenly."
