The Sended's

Chapter 52: Every War is Different, Every War is the Same

"The Queen's decision!

All citizens of Ladenvield please hear it carefully! For those who cannot attend, please be conveyed clearly and precisely by those present here!

The agreement has been made and approved by Ruby and Ladenvield, that:

One, Ladenvield will be completely merged into the Ruby kingdom

Two, the people of Ladenvield will be given equal rights, but at the same time the obligation to answer the military call

Three, according to number one, then Ladenvield will be reduced to a province and will be led by a governor

Four, the first Governor will be directly elected by the Queen and everyone must acknowledge him as the rightful leader

Five, the governorship will take effect four years, after which the second and subsequent governors will be elected by direct elections by the people as stated in the previous system of Ladenvield government

Six, Ladenvield must hand over all their weapons to Ruby's arsenal for further management

Seven, no citizen of Ladenvield may hold a gun except those who have passed inspection

Eight, the city of Ladenvield may have armed forces already inspected but only a hundred men to arrange order

Nine, the Ladenvield armaments industry will be state-owned, while the mining industry will be sold to the people with strict supervision so that monopoly measures can be avoided

Thus the result of an agreement between Ruby's side and the representatives of Ladenvield! Everyone please obey the nine things!"

Announcement has been given, now all we have to do is wait for the public reaction of Ladenvield. If they accept it then it is good, if not then it is necessary to be given more understanding

If it still can't, I think we'll encircle this city once again when they start rebelling.

Now that I was sitting in one of the outlets that opened near the square where the announcement was issued, I enjoyed a cup of tea which of course can grow in the highlands like this Ladenvield location

There were a few people here before, but when I arrived they were in a hurry to finish their orders and leave. Well, they're the Ladenvields who still fear me....

By the way that means I end up famous like Kyouka and Maou! After all my efforts..... But if it is known for being the destroyer of their city then it is not good, not like I care about it either.

Back to the matter of tea, the aroma is fragrant and has a fresh fruit taste, in the city of Ruby itself tea is valued quite high because it is considered an expensive commodity, because it is considered an expensive commodity, even then it was as bland as it was just brewing hot water with wild leaves from the forest....

"What kind of person yesterday flattened a city, tomorrow enjoyed a cup of tea in the same city?" It's Kyouka

I raised my hand

"Why did you bring so many bodyguards just to come here, Kyouka?" Much

"I'm going back to Ruby now, you need to know that there are no fewer problems there than here. Maou will also be soon after when he has finished evaluating the manjanik and its siege tower" replied Kyouka

"Ok I get it, I'll get out of here, too,"

"Eh? You're not gonna be watching this town? Aren't you worried about a rebellion?" Kyouka

"Let's be calm, I'll leave a thousand soldiers here, the rest I'll send to the Laden-Edelfield border under Percival, I'll return to the capital tomorrow, myself,"

"That means you're not going to attack Edelfield right away, if you need food supplies it looks like I can spare you a month's supply, if the matter of weapons don't we just get weapons from here?" That would help but...

"Edelfield is a city that is almost triple the size of Ladenvield, they also have better soldier quality than us, we need careful preparation and without any other diversion,"

"You mean like the complaints of the people? I'm sure there are many today, especially by the people of Ladenvield who have just become part of Ruby." he said.

"That's why you should send food supplies to them first, I can attack Edelfield at any time,"

"Well, I'll do as you say, what exactly am I going to be a queen for...."

Kyouka turned around and went riding her horse slowly towards the Ruby capital

I went back to drinking tea and a while later it was time to do my hobby other than war, my hobby in this world is reading books

Wh why? Didn't believe? It's hard to believe, especially for someone like me.... But the information I've gotten through it, there's little I've gotten through asking directly with other people

How the witch extermination decree came out to the unification of the Hohenzollern Kingdom across the sea, I found out through books. That's because usually books provide detailed and precise information, I like that

Therefore, today I will fully dedicate myself to reading books in the library of the Kingdom of Ladenvield. Previously this library was not opened to the public, probably because there was some secret information I don't know

Now who would dare to ban me, right? Keke....

"A-you!?" Looks like his library keeper recognized me

"This is not hit by a stone from our manganik, is it?"

"No Miss, sorry but what do you want to read? Maybe I can help you find it" he said

"That's not necessary, I'll look for my own book while I look around,"

"Understand, please make yourself comfortable,"

Let's take a look..... This area is a fiction book, next to it is a shelf for knowledge books, I think Maou will like this but if she wants then come alone. I took some books from each shelf, and I took them to the table that was provided

Phew, it seems that my stamina is still the same as before, after all I have never trained in that field

"Miss reading this many books, if you'd like I can show you the privacy space for you to spend the whole day," he's a real professional...

"Yes, show me the room, please,"

"Please follow me, let me help you too,"

It is said that the island was uninhabited, until finally a tribe first landed on the beach and established its own civilization, they are the Kingdom of Edelfield

It is said that they originated in the Hohenzollern lands before the Hohenzollerns occupied them. And when the Hohenzollerns such as Brandenburg, Habsburg, Alemani, Frissia, and others established civilizations in their old lands, Edelfield had similar civilizations

A feud ensued when disaster struck the Hohenzollern lands, resulting in many of them crossing to the island, but because of bad intentions also so Edelfield did not allow it

The war was fought between Edelfield and these immigrants, which ended in Edelfield's victory. Decrees of witch extermination were issued after this incident, when their King became paranoid

After that as we know that their people began to suffer and migrate here and establish the city of Ladenvield, hostile to their old brothers and intend to enslave Ruby

Maybe Ruby herself was an immigrant who managed to escape the war, but maybe we were one of the branches of the Edelfield tribe who failed to establish a connection with them from the beginning, both may be right but they are wrong.

Uh! True, seeing this story I am reminded of Britain, from its name alone it can be explained that it means the land of the Britons, a nation that used to be there when the Romans came

When the Romans collapsed, many Germanic tribes such as the Saxons passed through the straits to get there, and just like Edelfield the Britons also fought against the Saxons. The difference is they lost, their land was taken over, and they fled to the West where there are only highlands like this Ladenvield

It is at this time that the legend of King Arthur is believed to be set, he is the King of the Britons who is dying of the betrayal of his friend and son, and will return from Avalon to take over his kingdom from the Saxons

I don't know, but until I was transferred to this world, I didn't hear back....

I wonder if the Kelfia God does a lot of plagiatism like this? Even the history of the war alone was very similar, the difference only existed at the end of who was the victor of the war

"Ryuu? You're here too apparently," Maou came

"Hey this is a privacy room...."

"For that I apologize, I said that Mr. Diablo's colleague was also here, and he wanted to meet with you despite being in the privacy room" the library guard replied

Not that I shouldn't be bothered, anyway,

"Come in, but don't do anything weird to me...."

"No way!"

Maou brought his own book, I guess it's from a science area that concerns physics...

So because it's basically a library, even though we're in the privacy room we still value this place by not talking much. We have a book to read

Next is this book, right? It's Albion...

"Look at this Ryuu, even the concept of war catapults and siege towers actually existed for a thousand years in this world" Maou pointed out

"Whoah! The design looks similar to you,"

"Right, but this siege tower will be flammable because it has no protection," he continued

If not one thousand years ago there was a time when a large kingdom from the Western continent controlled almost the entire outer part of the continent, they managed to cross and get territory in the Southern continent

It is possible that the book's knowledge came from a thousand years ago

Eh?! Is it night?! I have only read three or four books, the rest have not been read....

"I think it's time for me to come back" Maou got up and closed the book

"Well, if I'm gonna stay tonight anyway,"

"In the library?!" Ask him surprised

"Where possible.the library also needs to close,"

I'll sleep if not in the tent again then I'll sleep in the Ladenvield inn in the city that can open at a time like this.
