Caenista Capture Operation 5

The Caenista invasion of the demon stronghold in Demon Forest was reported by the survivors and returned soldiers as a disaster, losing about half of their troops.

The reason for the small number of returned soldiers was thought to be that the commanding officers had been targeted and lost control of their troops, leading to many deserters, which was why the number of returned soldiers in the Royal Capital was small.

In reality, however, the fact that so many soldiers had not returned had not yet been discovered, although this was partly because none of the other soldiers who had fled to Arceides’ territory had returned.

At a meeting of the Royal Capital’s senior nobility, the Prime Minister, Marquis Cadeau, was busy with the nobles, who were angry and continued to say that this was why the militia could not be trusted, but did not offer any constructive opinions.

Various problems were occurring in the Kingdom of Caenista.

The area around the Royal Capital was experiencing an unusually good harvest, but the outer areas were experiencing a mysterious decrease in the number of spirits, which, combined with heavy taxes, were causing many riots among the peasants.

The heavy taxation, one of the causes of the riots, was to compensate for the loss of the king’s assets due to the destruction of the castle, and the reconstruction of the great fire that had destroyed 20% of the Royal Capital due to the battle to capture the rebellious flares was not completed, creating a large number of refugees.

To supplement their financial resources, they attacked the daemon tribe, obtained a large number of slaves, and dispatched troops to sell them off to other countries, but the Queen, who was a contractor of the spirit they sent out to fight against the Daemon King, Duke Prata, the chief strategist, and Abel, the leader of the First Order, were killed or disappeared.

The Knights of the First, Second, and Third Order, who had lost Bert, the Sword Saint, the hero of the Kingdom of Caenista, in the previous battle, and who had no one to unite them, were now virtually non-functional as the survivors of the First, Second, and Third Order were engaged in a sterile power struggle.

And the senior nobles’ council, which was meant to break through the chaos, had turned into a mob of crows seeking only their own interests, unable to be controlled by the Prime Minister alone due to the absence of the Duke of Prata, who had been coordinating the nobles.

Normally, in such a situation, the king should take the lead and unite the nobles, but to collect the lost treasures, the King was desperate to seek bribes from shady merchants with whom he had never had a relationship before. They were addicted to alcohol and women.

The Queen, who was responsible for the previous merchants and the economy of the Royal Capital, who should admonish them, was nowhere to be found, and even the next King, the Crown Prince, along with the son of the Prime Minister and the first court mage, was devoted to the girl they loved, and despised his office.

And the Prime Minister, Marquis Cadeau, was looking for a country to which he could go into exile, while using diplomacy to check other countries which might take advantage of this opportunity and risk invading the kingdom.

Some of the nobles, feeling a sense of crisis, secretly requested an interview with Camille, the King’s brother, and asked him to overthrow the current King and take his place as the new King.

Camille, however, did not approve of this and declared that he would never stand as king
