The Sended's

Chapter 65: Wind and the Waves, Roaring in Angry Rages

"You know, miss, this land is suffering. There was blood everywhere that would only make him more broken and gloomy again, but if we don't rise up against then who are we?"

His words on the wall can really touch the heart, well.

The East rarely felt a great war involving all their resources at once, but they were a nation adept at confronting the raiders and bandits that were rampant across the land

And just like the Chinese Empire in the past, they also faced nomadic tribes who attacked them with cavalry superiority

That's right, maybe Jin is one of the kingdoms with a culture similar to China in the past, but not all of the Eastern Continent has the same culture of course

I know from the people I met on my way here, there are some cultures here that are similar to the East Asian cultures of my past Earth, examples other than Jin are Ming and Qing, for example, both took the name Dynasty from China directly

Culture besides there are tribes in the Northeast, they are similar to the Mongolians along with their nomadic life and of course the superiority of the cavalry I said earlier

Then in the Southeast itself there are clans united under a kingdom called Ashikaga. So on Earth, Ashikaga is the name of a clan that became the Shogunate in the era before and on Sengoku, again another resemblance

Other than those three there might be others, but they were rarely told

I heard there is a city kingdom called Joseon which if seen from the name alone then they are cultured similar to Korea, but I can't be sure of it until I see them with my own eyes.

Back here, I was being directed by Shin to go to the Jin royal palace to meet this Jin royal head. They did call him that, because that figure was not a King but a princess

King Jin died a year ago and the only heir he left behind was a plain girl who knew almost nothing, it should be easy to influence him to achieve my goals here but the truth is not

You see Shin, in addition to the son of the family in charge of the port, he is also the fiancee of Princess Jin Zhi, that means he is the future King of Jin when the mourning period is over. And the future I'm referring to isn't as far away as it sounds, but it's only one to two weeks away

"Mr Shin, what's Jin Zhi's daughter like?" Much

"He was a cheerful figure, but faded after the death of his father, the late King of Jin,"

Oh? Other free information, it can be utilized later

"Therefore please lest you discuss the matter inside, Miss Rune, please,

You must not touch Princess Jin Zhi, must not look into her eyes, must not sit when she stands, must not turn her back if you are only ten steps away, must not step on her shadow, must not step on her, can't refuse the drink he's offering" he explained

"You think I don't know how to get into a relationship?" Cut me

"That's not what I mean, Miss Rune, it's just that never before has the supreme leader of Jin country met a foreign envoy from outside. That was the order of the palace and the prohibition of the general public, I included it,"

"I understand,"

The door with the bamboo curtain opened and showed the figure of a girl with makeup that looked natural and graceful, she looked at me and invited us to sit down. I lowered my head with Shin responding to that, and when I saw Shin, he looked surprised

We sat down, and not in a chair like in the kingdom of Ruby, we sat on that well-made mat, making it even more comfortable than most seats in the world

This large round table is also quality, made of mashed wood and coated with certain substances so that it can be as smooth, bright, and as good as this. On top there is a ceramic teapot with unique ornaments, and three glasses with the same characteristics as the teapot.

Enough discussion about this room, now let's see the "plain" girl who became the leader of the Jin Kingdom as Shin said earlier, visible from his face he is not so "plain"

That memorable forced smile made me think that she was quite good at hiding her true feelings, and if it were true then my plan to influence her would not work

Then I'll talk straight to the point later.

The girl grabbed the teapot on the table, which made Shin reach for one of the cups and I followed her. We thrust the cup forward to get the tea that Jin Zhi poured from her teapot

Since Shin continued to be in this position even when Jin Zhi was done with the cup, I continued to follow

Only when Jin Zhi poured for his own cup, placed the teapot, and raised the cup high with one hand did Shin say, "Return," then return to his previous comfortable sitting position

What was unique was that Jin Zhi drank the tea a little, while Shin immediately drank it until it ran out and placed the cup on the table

Uhh.. I can not follow it this time, other than because to introduce Ruby culture in drinking tea, also because the tea is very bitter

"Miss, you have to drink it to the end before the princess does, it is a form of respect for her with a higher caste" Shin whispered to me

"I'm sorry, not disrespectful, but because according to my culture immediately spent the drink that has been provided is even disrespectful for the brewer, we choose to drink it slowly when there is a pause in our discussion," I said

"I see, you are not Easterners like us so there must be a difference. My name is Jin Zhi, the current Queen of the Jin Kingdom,"

"My name is Rune, military officer of Ruby Kingdom, I am here only as a subordinate of Queen Lofi who carries out the mission of royal diplomacy,"

"I heard from Master Shin, your Kingdom is willing to help the Jin Kingdom in the face of the Ming," the girl said

"That's right, noble, but in order not to be misunderstood, the Ruby Kingdom is not willing to help directly, but our Queen sent me as her highest military officer to help the Jin Kingdom against the Ming,"

"Alright, that too I've heard from Mr. Shin, you call it a military attache. But can you briefly explain what it is?" Ask Jin Zhi

"In short, I was sent to assist the Jin Kingdom in organizing your forces" I replied

"Not directly or necessarily, you can reject this offer, but it is broadly similar to that" I replied

Being a military attache meant that I could advise and criticize the decisions taken by comrade generals, making me have an important role in the country's army

"The suggestion sounded absurd in my ears," Jin Zhi said

"The Jin army should be led by General Jin, in this case Shin should lead them" Oh?

So the young master of the port-responsible family, in addition to being the fiancee of Queen Jin, he is also the general of this kingdom huh? He seems to be very multitalented

Shin didn't tell me about it, so I guess he actually wanted to accept my offer but was looking for a suitable price, after all he was a merchant on the other side

"As I said, this is the goodwill of the Ruby Kingdom,"

"Then can you tell me, what exactly is the point behind all this? Why would Ruby want to help us so much?" Ask Jin Zhi again

"We-"

Before speaking any further, I got a message from the Maou through communication magic. Everything is ready, the nails just waiting to be hit

"Hit as hard as you can" I said replying to Maou

"Yes?" Ah...

"Sorry, your honor, I just got word from the Ruby Kingdom that they changed their offer to military aid" I said

"really? Wait, how did you get the message when you were here?"

"Hmm, ah! Sir Shin, there will be four of our ships full of personnel and weaponry will enter the harbor," regardless of Jin Zhi's words I directly spoke to Shin

Both of them were surprised because I did this, but Shin decided to still answer me even with a little confusion

"Well-wait, four? How many personnel did you bring?"

"About a thousand," I answered

"Thousands of people are not ungrateful, but even if Ruby and Jin forces are united, we still have not met at least half the number of enemies,"

"A battle is not just a matter of numbers, Mr. Shin, but how you can use it effectively. Even if you've used it effectively, if the enemy manages to use his army more effectively then everything is meaningless,"

One thousand soldiers, half of them filled with palace guards, while the other half was filled with those who had followed me since the first battle against Laden, which meant that they were the most elite among Ruby's forces

"Ryuu, can you hold on until next week?" Tanya Maou used magic

"hold on? No, I'm gonna kick them out,"

If it is true that Jin has about 15,000 soldiers, then protecting this walled city is very possible. We can even counterattack if the circumstances are supportive, so my job is to create those circumstances

"Mu.... Whahaha! Shin, you brought an interesting figure huh, hahahaha!"

"H-hey, Zhi... You're in front of someone important...." Eh?

Where did that beautiful looking girl go?

"Sorry, it's just that I hate the role, you better take it quick, Shin,"

"Well.... Forgive the behavior of our Queen, Miss Rune, she is indeed actually childish," Shin said

I nodded in agreement to that

"You two.... Dare to insult me directly in front of me, the punishment is death!" Jin Zhi said loudly

"Oh?! If you kill us both, who do you think will protect Jin huh?!"

Shin stood up, drew closer to him, and pinched both of his cheeks

"sick! It hurts! I'm sorry!"

The peacock? That explains it anyway

"Looks like the Queen has a unique personality huh?" I said

"I don't really like being Queen, but I want to,"

Haha.... There's just
