On the sixth day of the war, in the northern part of the kingdom, Ye Naiur—
Ye Naiur is a large coastal city in the northern part of the kingdom. In this world where marine races are extremely unfriendly to humans, Ye Naiur can be said to be a place deeply blessed by the ocean. The throughput of ships is the kingdom's.
Highest.
However, these boats are basically just fishing boats. Because this place is not a strategic location and there are few dangerous other marine races, there is no standing navy. The kingdom's navy is basically located in the military port in the east of the city, Uro.
Val.
Now, the military port is basically empty. Because he has heard about the power of the Imperial Navy, he plans to launch a preemptive attack. The Ulowar Border Counter who leads the Kingdom Navy has the support of the Marquis for the equipment of the army, and the quality of the naval guns is among the best in the Kingdom.
Ranked at the top of the rankings, I am full of confidence.
However, this has nothing to do with Ye Naiour.
The family of the Viscount Naiua who rules here is basically a family of chefs who were born by mistake. They are obsessed with the study of seafood. From the founding of the kingdom until they were promoted to earls, they have been working hard for generations to obtain the throne of the best seafood cuisine in the kingdom.
Research.
This is no joke. The central city of this territory is basically new. No matter how it is planned in the future, at least it does not even have city walls now. It is a city that is based on large towns and cities and continues to build more decent urban buildings and expand its scope.
Because it is located in the rear area, there is no point in maintaining a standing army when facing the review country dominated by multiple dragon kings. Therefore, the army here is quite small. In addition, it is too far from the front line. Even the temporary recruitment before the war begins is very small. Citizens
There was no atmosphere to talk about war. Fishermen went out to sea as usual to catch fish, and the market was crowded with people trading fresh fish and shellfish.
Even the black market business is very prosperous. There are different kinds of seafood smuggled from the imperial sea. In short, they are powerful marine animals and monsters with good meat that are difficult for ordinary fishermen to catch.
Small individuals of the monsters originally known as armored water spiders are also sold here at high prices. Some smugglers like to call them "crabs" to distinguish them from the names that make fishermen angry. Each one costs a golden price.
The gold coins, coupled with their supposed destructive power enough to capsize the ship, the local nobles and wealthy people, including the Viscount of Naiouya and the Count of Ulowar, like to "eat crabs" to show off their quality of life.
Originally, the war had nothing to do with Viscount Naiua, who runs this peaceful land. This is the rear area? Even if the imperial navy can reach here? There is no need to attack here. Suppose the imperial navy is too powerful? Just attack the military port and then
Is it enough to land and go straight to the royal capital? At most, send a small group of troops to recruit surrender.
Viscount Naiua's family was also the boss here at first, but they just adapted to the situation that happened somehow and merged into the kingdom? If the kingdom fails, and if the empire doesn't stop, can he continue to rule here? He also
It doesn't matter.
On this day, while working in his official residence, he was still busy planning what to eat for lunch and how to prepare it. Suddenly, there was a vibration like an earthquake, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
.
"What happened!" He ordered his subordinates to check and came to the window facing the ocean.
Unfortunately, his official residence does not have an endless view of the entire sea.
After a while, his subordinates hurried in, together with the retired adventurer Akre he hired. The subordinates saluted and reported: "Sir Viscount, a navy... general of the Bajas Empire is coming to meet you. "
He paused and changed the wording? Is it to take into account Viscount Naiouya's face as a noble, because the other party does not look like a general? At most, he is a captain, although there is no need to send any senior generals to lead the attack here? But the other person also seems to like to be praised? Use words that can take care of both sides? Why wouldn't he do it as a part-time worker?
"Why is it so sudden? What is the Royal Navy doing? Even if it bypasses or breaks through the Royal Navy, it is impossible not to be discovered by fishing boats all over the sea, right? Why is there no news?" Naiua was shocked.
"This...the opponent's big ship suddenly rushed out from under the sea and smashed the dock." said the subordinate.
Akre added: "I basically saw it from a distance. I'm afraid it was the legendary ghost ship. It was probably more than a hundred meters long. Maybe it was decades ago when the Dragon Kingdom expelled the orcs and the Empire changed its religion. The huge ghost ship obtained from the goblin, at first glance, I am afraid that the kingdom's navy is like a baby. There are rumors that the prototype of the ship was built by the dwarves and giants who are proficient in craftsmanship. Only a powerful being like a dragon can Could sink that ship."
The reason why he said so much in one breath is very simple. Even if he knows that Naiwuya is just a chef at heart, he is also a noble of the kingdom. It is not good to have the dignity of the kingdom. In short, he means: as long as the other party lets him survive, don't do it. Resist, don’t resist, don’t resist, say important things three times.
"...Okay, I'll get ready and go right away." Naiwuya stood up and ordered, "You go and receive them first."
The rules and etiquette of aristocrats are often troublesome, but all information that can be confirmed immediately needs to be confirmed immediately, otherwise the negotiation will be passive. Whether it is resistance or surrender, anything that can be obtained through a war of words should be fought for.
There were only two people across from each other on the table. If he ignored their external features, it reminded him of children who were still being nurtured by tutors. But he had already investigated these two girls, the ghost captain Yayaka with blond hair and red eyes. Ty Cohen Fried may be a very high-level vampire. Even if he is an undead monster, he can see the characteristics of aristocratic etiquette in his speech and behavior. Can the nobles of the empire tolerate such a being as a noble? Or is it a noble? Did it become like this by accident or magic? The same goes for the other one with leopard ears and tail. He should have come from an extraterrestrial race during his lifetime, and his name was Ray Lily Ann Patty Freed. Judging from his name and behavior, he should have On a lower level, he might be a vampire relative or subordinate of the blond.
However, should I say that it is a vampire? I heard that they are one of the few undead people who can completely retain most of their feelings and emotions during life, so they can proceed according to human methods to a certain extent.
Fortunately, since he is a noble, he can have a good conversation at the drinking table. Naiua will immediately consider this, not because he is an alcoholic, but because he is really a chef at heart.
