As the escorts were waiting outside the three people inside were facing each other from different directions, Yuuto was in the northern seat, Ester was in the southern seat, and Adele in the eastern seat, Adele showed a smurk on her face and said.

"You've came here to form an alliance with us in hope of recieving military assistance from our country am I correct? but we can't spare any soldiers right now, our army is currently at war with the demon king's army and some of our former countrymen stared a coup d' tat but we managed to beat their army and push them back, but we're now lacking in personnel to defend our borders from our neigboring countries, we can still form an alliance with you but if you can tell us the benefits that we'll recieve if we form an alliance with you then i'll consider sending an army to help both of your countries."(Adele)

"It's true that right now there's nothing great that we can offer, but our country recently discovered three kinds of metals orichalcum, Hihi'irokane and dark steel and right now we're asking the country of Rasfatia to attemp to smelt these newly discovered metal for our armies, so if you form an alliance with us then we'll transport a large quantity of these metals to your country."(Yuuto)

"There's no need for that because our miners have already found some of these metals and extractions are going smoothly, furthermore we have the blacksmith named Jinta who is capable of smelting these metals, he seems to have came from the country of Rasfatia but he left the country and went to silveria and now he's serving the royal country of Sakuragami."(Adele)

"Then our country has nothing to offer to yours isn't that correct? So what do you want us to do?"(Yuuto)

"Raise an army to defend your own borders, you're countries both has weak military capabilities and by yourself then the demon king can easily conquer your lands, but we can't let the demon king occupy more land so we'll do our best to help you, we'll accept the offer of your alliance but in the condition that both of your countries must send us a large quantity of ores, metals, minerals, food and people."(Adele)

"You're also asking people?! What are you trying to accomplish?"(Yuuto)

The young lord stares at Yuuto while having a smurk on her face and said.

"Of course we'll enlist them to our army, war always has casualties and we need to replenish soldiers from every battle that's why we demand people instead, don't worry we wouldn't treat them badly and they'll recieve a lot of money so I think it's a fine deal don't you think?"(Adele)

I stood up and said.

"I wouldn't accept such a request, your demands aren't just, you need more people to become soldiers? are you really planning an all out war with the demon king?! then don't put your people in danger! a countries duty is to protect it's citizens not the other way around."(Yuuto)

"Fufufufufufufu!"(Adele)

Adele started to laugh and said.

"I'm starting to like you boy, fine i'll make our request more simple I demand supplies, a base of operation and over a hundred thousand troops under our command and we'll easily destroy the orcs in your lands, ins't that okay with you miss Ester, or should I say lady Estelia von Astradia of the elf country of Rasven, your first princess of the country am I correct."(Adele)

"Huh?! how did you know my real name? you investigated my identity didn't you?"(Ester)

"Yes that's right since we can't have people with unknown an background to enter my domain it's only natural."(Adele)

"Wait you knew that were coming to your country?"(Ester)

She smiled at Ester-san and said.

"I had some spies sent to many countries all over the continent, and I had them look up the identity of a certain individual named Ester Astradia and I found out that your the princess of the country of the elves so I wondered why your in the country of the dwarves? but it's not something that I'm currently interested at the time, your the representative of Rasfatia right? then organize a place for us to operate and i'll lead an army of two hundred thousand to eliminate the orcs."(Adele)

"A mere two hundred thousand? then you'll send us only a few soldiers? then why bother sending soldiers to our aid?"(Ester)

She started to laugh at Ester-san and said.

"That's the problem of your country you always rely on numbers on thinking if a battle is winnable or not, if you can use the terrain to your advantage you can amke an army of three hundred thousand flee before an army of fifty thousand."(Adele)

"You shouldn't rely on numbers too much, I guess your right Adele-sama, then i'll also dispatch fifty thousand soldiers on from my private army to help the country of Rasfatia."(Yuuto)

"And my demand from the country of Lasfortia is to deliver a message to the neigboring country of the kobayashii shougunate, it's a letter from our empress Kyouko Akaza-sama and it's a request to the guild can you please ensure that it's safely to the head guild office."(Adele)

"Yes ma'am i'll make sure that the letter is delivered to the shougunates head office at the capital."(Yuuto)

She smiled at me and said.

"I'll be counting on you young lad."(Adele)

And afterwards the young lady left the room and asked a butler to lead us to our rooms, the escorts were also escorted to the barracks were the soldiers sleep, while we were lead to the V.I.P room of the lord, she told us that we'll continue our talk tomorrow so we should get some rest, but I wonder what will we talk about tomorrow?

On the next morning as I was walking in the garden outside the estate I saw an army of two hundred thousand assembled at the field outside of the mansion. Adele-san saw me and said.

"Were assembling an army to march towards the kingdom of Rasfatia, then we'll continue our march towards the kingdom of Lasfortia, I doubt that both of your countries will decline our assistance."(Adele)

"If your willing to assist us then what will you request from our countries after the battle?"(Yuuto)

"We would need you to send fifty blacksmiths from the country of Rasfatia and fifty scholars from the country of Lasfortia to work for our Republic as blacksmiths for our forges and teachers for the new academy that our Republic has recently funded."(Adele)

"Why would you go through such a length on helping our countries?"(Ester)

"We would also request a large quantity of mithril, iron, and other metals that are easy to extract to be offered to our country."(Adele)

"I see so you will need more weapons for the war against the demon king's army so you need to send more soldiers to battle so you want us to mine resources in your place."(Yuuto)

"Precisely, we would also like to form a non-aggression pact, and if you break this pact then we'll go to war against your country, this battle will show you our superiority in technology so you must be there to see the strength of our newly developed weapons."(Adele)

Their army are also bring carrieges with them that seems to contain their new weapons of war, I doubt that our country can fight their army if they decided to declare a war on us, so we need to prepare just in case.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"Are the seven supreme swords here yet?"(Adele)

"Yes ma'am they are already preparing for the trip, but are you sure that it's okay for us to leave the republic when the people from the destroyed kingdoms that turned against us haven't been subjugated yet."(Soldier)

"It's alright since our main force are already on their way home, I heard that general Jonathan and his men are already on their way home."(Adele)

"Is that so ma'am, I'm sorry for disturbing you ma'am."(Soldier)

"Very well then you're now dismissed."(Adele)

"Yes ma'am."(Soldier)

What are they planning? I hope that they're really on our sides, if they invaded our country instead of aiding us then we're done for, both our countries still haven't recovered from our previous battles so were currently at a weak state and if the republic decides to attack us then were done for.

After the soldiers had lunch the sakuragami marched in the afternoon since they had a full stomach their ready for battle, With their army that's numbering over two hundred thousand they had nothing to lose in the battle even though their heavily outnumbered they had weapons that can easily kill multiple enemies before they can even get close to them.

Behind us were a hundred carriages filled with weapon like objects that had a total of five in each carriage and a total of one thousand weapons, I doubt that we'll be able to beat them with that alone.

"After our battle at the capital we'll need to wait for a few days before heading to Lasfortia, we'll need to replenish our ammunition and we'll also recieve reinforcements from Drakulia when the general's army returned to defend my country, afterwards we can march towards the country of Lasfortia and kill all the demons that resist our forces."(Adele)

"W-wait you're not going to slaughter them? I though that your country is known for not showing any mercy towards the demons?"(Ester)

Adele-san stared at Ester-san and said.

"Will you slay an unarmed soldier? If your going to slay them then why bother protecting the people of your country, a country needs soldiers, but you should kill if there's no need to kill, kill only when required to and spare them if possible."(Adele)

Ester-san was speechless after Adele-san finished speaking what she wanted to say, then I tapped her shoulders and said.

"Will this number of soldiers really be enough? What if the orcs flank us? how will you respond?"(Yuuto)

"We'll fight their army on an open field where there are no places to hide, and we'll use the Rasfatian cavalry to clear out any orcs reaches our men so we'll be alright."(Adele)

After a few days of marching we finally arrived at the capital of Rasfatia the soldiers of sakuragami started to ready their encampment for the upcoming battle with the orcs, the king of Rasfafia was surprised when he's heard that the sakuragami army has arrived at the kingdom, but was disappointed when he heard that their numbers where only more than two hundred thousand soldiers.

I decided to enter the city, on the way I saw a young girl that long blond hair that was tied up in a twintail style, she had a pair of amber eyes, she wore a long robe that covers her entire body and underneath it she wore a full body army made of mithril, she's also carrying a bow behind her back so I'm guessing she's an archer, but she also has a short sword on her waist so I can't really tell if she's a swordsman or an archer, it seems like she's an important member of the army, but by her looks she's too young to be a commander or even a soldier.

She seems to be having a bit of trouble with the guard who's not letting him pass, so Ester-san and I approached the guard and said.

"What seems to be the problem here? can you please inform us?"(Yuuto)

"This girl wants to enter the city, but she has no idenfitication card, but she kept showing me her sakuragami military identification, but it's against the rules to let someone inside the capital without a proper identification card, all the other soldiers from their country also has them so I can't make an exemption just because she's a girl."(Soldier)

"Fine let her in, the two of us will supervise her."(Ester)

The guard let's out a sigh and said.

"Fine if you really wanted to let her enter Ester-sama then I have no other choice but to let her in the city, but if things go wrong then the blames on you right?"(Soldier)

"Yeah i'll take full responsibility in case anything bad happens."(Ester)

And the guard lowers his spear and opened the gates and lets the girl enter, the girl bows down at us and said.

"Hello my name is Chizuru Okita of the sakuragami army can I ask the names of the two of you."(Chizuru)

The girl smiles at us while she continued to stare at us so I gave my reply to her question.

"My name is Yuuto Yukimura and this is Ester, it's nice to meet you Chizuru-chan."(Yuuto)

"..............."(Ester)

While the two of us where talking to each other Ester-san seems to be spacing out, I wonder what's wrong so I approached her and said.

"What's wrong Ester-san?"(Yuuto)

Her face looks pale and when she saw me she said.

"A dragon is flying above the Royal capital!"(Ester)

And when I looked at the sky I saw a red dragon flying above the city so I drew my sword and readied myself for battle, but when I saw Chizuru-san who seems a bit too calm I asked.

"Why aren't you surprised Chizuru-chan, did you know that a dragon will appear?"(Yuuto)

She continued to smile while staring at the dragon then a few seconds later her facial expresion suddenly changed from smiling to being sad and said

"I heard that the empress resently added a dragon to our ranks, but I didn't know that she would send it her, does that mean that she has too little trust in our skills?"(Chizuru)

After a few minutes of flying around the capital the dragon slowly lands on the encampment of the sakuragami army and it's body started to glow and a few moments later a beautiful girl appeared.

She had crimson red hair, a pair of gold eyes, she wielded a spear and she wore a long white mantle and an elegant dress underneath the mantle she approached the lords tent and enters, the guards didn't stop her so that means that she isn't an enemy right?

"Well Yuuto-san can you guild me around town?"(Chizuru)

"I'm sorry Chizuru-chan but I'm also new on this town like you so I don't really know my way around the town, but Ester-san works for the kingdom so she should know her way around the town."(Yuuto(

"Well then Ester-san please take care of us."(Chizuru)

Chizuru-chan bows at Ester-san and Ester-san seems a little bit surprised and said.

"F-fine if you insist then I have no other choice right?"(Ester)

And the three of us started our journey around the capital of Rasfatia, just what will happen in the battle between the orcs and the people from sakuragami, will they really defeat an army of two million with two hundred thousand soldiers?
