"I think that the people who changed their opinions were implanted with an aggght needle.
"Well, I think your guess is correct, Lord Zion."
Turles also supported Zion's guess.
"The population of the Northerners at that time was about 180,000," he said. That would explain why they were just barely able to secure food.
Rorona gave me a supplementary explanation.
She is familiar with the food situation in the Nordic Federation, as she is in charge of agriculture in general.
"My father told me about ......."
Now Rorona spoke up.

Leading the way were the <> clans.
They had many <> who could use <>.
So they invaded the Laurentian continent with five <> in tow.
Our first goal was to move southward along the sea, turning to the east.
This route southward along the coastline of the former Leonard Kingdom was called the .
The former Leonard Kingdom was still prosperous at that time and was said to be one of the two most powerful countries in the Laurentian Continent along with the Dinaric Kingdom.
The kingdom, which boasted magical technology superior to that of the Kingdom of Dinar, was a formidable foe, and the war was a back-and-forth affair.
The war was going back and forth.
"Ah, it is true that the former Leonard Kingdom was created by a different lineage from the Nordic Federation, the Origin.
"That's right, isn't it?"
This was the story I had heard from , the head of the moon's magic control, when I had first met <>.
Jin guessed that they must have been very strong, since they had several <> and had mastered them.
of the Moon (Yunie) told me about those days>.
"Oh, I see."

"Okay, please."

The battles fought in the Kingdom of Leonard were fierce from the very beginning.
The first wave of forces deployed on the eastern route consisted of 500 men and two Hecaton Cairns.
The first wave was 500 men and 2 . The second wave was 500 northern guards and 3 battle golems.
To tell the truth, however, the first battle was not a success.
We did not expect that they would suddenly attack us from the north, and they attacked us before we were well-prepared.
The battle near the border ended in a disastrous defeat for Leonard's Kingdom.
< side moved further south ...... with great momentum, but here a miscalculation occurred.
The border area of the Leonard Kingdom was a wasteland, and the self-sufficiency rate of food was very low. (Instead, they made their living from mining.)
Therefore, 500 people starved because they could not procure food locally. Even with the magic of transference, it was difficult to transport food for 500 people.
Then, 5,000 of the regular army of the Kingdom of Leonard rushed into the city.
They were strong.
Fifty battle golems had joined them, and the <> side's first 500 men were reduced to more than 30% of the total. The first 500 men of the <> lost 172 men and 2 Hecaton Cairns, and they were forced to retreat.
However, the <> did not remain silent.
The second force was twice as many as the first one, with 1,000 men deployed.
Moreover, 10 golems from the <> side also joined the battle.
The third battle was evenly fought.
No, the <> side was at a slight disadvantage because of the shortage of food.
However, the <>, skilled in magic, tried all sorts of tricks to keep the <> at bay.
"Those of you who can transfer, sneak into the larder of the <> side at midnight and bring out as much food as you can."
"Ha!"
"We'll focus our attacks on them during the day so they'll take our night vigilance lightly."
I understand.
I wonder if such a strategy meeting took place.
The Leonard Kingdom side, which had been fighting more than evenly, gradually began to be pushed back.
The line of battle gradually moved southward, and the Royal Army of Leonard was pushed back to the vicinity of .
Fortunately, the battle was fought inland and the area around <> did not come under fire.
The front moved further south, pushing north of the Darth River in 3152 and the Neto River the following year in 3153. In 3152 and 3153, the following year, they were pushed as far north as the Neto River.
However, after crossing the Neto River, the met with the fiercest resistance they had ever faced.
This was because of the proximity of Diaa, the capital of the Kingdom of Leonard, and their desperate resistance.
The battle line was at a stalemate.
However, at this time, the Demon Army had already occupied half of the granary and the food situation had greatly improved, so time was on the side of the . .......

The old man paused his narrative.
"Thank you, my old man. Now I understand a lot more about the ."

Shall we take a break now?
"Yes, father. Then I will prepare some tea for you.
Reiko calls her twin golems, Luna and Soleil, to help.
Arnold also said that he would help Chelle.
Reiko, Soleil, Luna, and Chel served the tea, which was enough for everyone in less than a minute.
"Here you are, father."
"Thank you."

Here you go, Mr. Arnold.
"Thank you, Chelle."
Jin took the cup of drink from Reiko and drank it down in one gulp.
"Oh, it's good."
The drink was at the right temperature for Jin, and it smoothly quenched his thirst.
"But still..."

"It is not often that people from different walks of life can come together like this and put together a summary of past events, Jin-dono."
"So ...... might be the case."
"Yes. Therefore, this gathering will be a historical epoch.
You're overreacting, aren't you?
What, overreacting? ...... and that kind of evaluation will be left for future generations to decide.
That's true.
After this break, the summary of the <> continues.
