I certainly didn't expect that I would find anyone else sent here in this city, let alone that he had such formidable fighting prowess and attack speed that no one had
He finally wants me to join me, it will be difficult if he does not want to, it could be a burden on my mind...
"I wonder if the world is so small that two distant cultures can come close to each other like this?" Ask him
Ah, what he meant was Ruby and Ming, how could we be so close
"Kelfia isn't as small as you might think, the world is vast even if you have one chance at your life to explore it,"
As we headed to Fuzhou, where Kyouka and Maou were, I told him everything I knew about Kelfia. He was amazed at how big the world was just by listening to my story
"So Ruby was far away in the West? In the Western Continent the distance is too far that trade from here to there is very rare?" Ask him
"That's right, therefore the goods here seem ordinary, there are expensive commodities,"
"So like that.. Then how does the Ruby Kingdom come in? What about trading? Or is it an Agrarian Kingdom?" Hm? I think he knows a little about that
"Ruby has not yet opened his donation to trade, the Jin city kingdom is the first to enter the list of countries that we will welcome in the future. Right now we prefer the domestic economy first,"
"Hmm.... Then there's no way Ruby will survive for a long time, right? You guys should open a trade soon," Oh?
"Do you know anything about economics, Yuuna?"
"W-Well.... Uh..." He seemed hesitant to tell stories
"I applied for economics first, but before I got there I moved here" Woah! Other skills!
He was already proficient in fighting, proficient in the modern economy as well! That would help me a lot - Eh. umm. helping Kyouka.
"What steps will you take next?"
"Next is the war, the war to conquer Ming is still not finished, but I'm sure they will soon start moving" I replied.
Ming who had lost even with the comparison of their numbers, I don't think it's enough to realize that numbers aren't everything. The reason why they had not attacked was probably because of the debate in their King's palace
Well some of them must have been aware that they could not use the same means as the previous battles against Ruby, but the majority who had never seen our battle must have ignored that
In the end, the majority won and they will start attacking here with all the troops they have, I heard the number of soldiers in Chengdu has reached 100,000.
"I'm sure you already know how to deal with that, right?" As long as he asks, I will tell you some ways to defeat Ming
The Ming region is so vast that it will be difficult to conquer it entirely, but I will compare it with Russia. Wh why? That was because their area was almost the same.
So who can defeat and conquer Russia in the history of earth?
Let's take a look...
"You know Napoleon and Nazi Germany invaded Russia, but they both failed because of the winter" Eh?
"Are you interested in history, Yuuna?" I asked because he knows more than Kyouka
Waita minute... If he's going to go to college soon, it means he's older than Kyouka when they were transferred, right?! It's only natural that he knows more... Whoa....
"I was only 15 when I was transferred tofu..." Huh uh?
"E-Eh? I don't understand, just wait..."
"Because I can't do many things, I end up always at home and read any book to fill my free time, but from that all I understand the most about economics," explained Yuuna
Uh.... Other geniuses besides the Maou apparently...
"You should still act like a child,"
"Huh?! I'm 32 years old if total knows!"
Wow.... If you use that principle, I have lived more than half a century, right? Or maybe it's been almost a hundred years? I don't know, I didn't count it
"You know about Napoleon France and Nazi Germany?" Much
"A little bit, I heard they were masters of Europe in their respective times" he replied
The statement is not false but not entirely true either, both of whom may be masters of continental Europe, but certainly.... Britain controls the ocean waves...
Then the second mistake of the statement is about this "Europe", they are only masters of Central and Western Europe, because the Russian Bear still stands tall in the East.
And when these two countries really wanted to become masters of the European continent, they failed to conquer Russia and were instead attacked and defeated by it. Both failed because of the winter, when logistical problems were in trouble
"I know also that the Japanese Empire has fought and surprisingly won against Russia" Yuuna said
The Japanese military was far superior in technology and doctrine to the Russian Empire, and if the conflict broke out, Japan could win the war if the war itself went short
And at that time they were lucky because Russia was experiencing its own internal problems, it was a revolution that ultimately made the Bolsevhik stronghold take over the country.
In Ruby's current position it seems impossible to pick up the flames of revolution within Ming territory, it's because their borders are already closed which would be difficult to send spies in, even if successful, it will be difficult for us to receive and provide information
"Three I think it's impossible to do against Ming, do you know of any other country that's fighting against Russia?"
"No....? I know just that,"
Hmm. well since Yuuna doesn't know anymore then I take over...
In 1919, two new countries appeared in Europe, well.
At that time, Ukraine was a territory of the USSR which was struggling to gain its independence, but communism had reached the hearts of some of their people. Thus began the civil war between the pro- USSR Ukraine against the independent Ukraine
1919 Was a stressful year even though the first world war had ended a year ago, at that time Russia was engaged in a civil war as well as the war to seize their lost territory over the previous German victory
Poland as a new nation also did not want to lose, they wanted to redraw and advance their borders according to the Polish border in 1772. And therefore, they sent an army to the East
They captured most of Lithuania and Belarus as well as the western part of Ukraine.
While independent Ukraine was initially able to defend against the red army, it began to be overwhelmed since the USSR had almost won their own civil war
As a result, independent Ukraine decided to ask Poland for help which was approved because they thought to secure the border, military action was needed, especially when the red army was still weak
Poland conquered Kiev easily, but here lies the problem...
Once again a logistical matter, the Polish army could not expand its logistics further, stopping their movement there and giving the red army time to prepare
In the end the Polish army was pushed back to Warsaw, but with the help of other Western nations they began to push back the red army. The USSR finally concluded a peace treaty
Both countries claimed victory, Poland claimed that they managed to win to defend their country, while the USSR managed to conquer Ukraine
"It can't be done either huh?"
Next up is Mongolia,
So they were the most effective nation against the Russians in their own time, but even then they used an arrow cavalry that we certainly did not have...
"I think the only way is to improve our logistical paths and win a quick war against the Ming,"
To achieve that we have to build a road, and that takes money...
We think about it later, now we will rest in this forest first before continuing the journey. I can't use my teleportation because I haven't memorized the terrain, I'll do it later
Inevitably we had to walk to get to Fuzou, and this forest was on the quickest path so inevitably we had to break through it.
But.... somehow this forest feels strange, very different from the Ruby forest or any forest I know, why is there a magical aura that is quite suffocating in this forest?
"Yuuna, have you heard anything about this forest?" I asked her stuff she knew
"So it's true that there's something strange, yes, I haven't been able to use magic yet but I've felt something strange from my body when we got in here" he said.
"I've heard stories about this forest, where there are cursed spirits who inhabit this forest so that even monsters don't dare to enter here. The story had existed since humans first came to this place, but no one could explain it for sure,"
Like I said, we can't expect anything from people in the past...
"The magic here is quite concentrated but cannot kill living things,"
Unlike the story if it is used only to scare living things, this magic is very effective
It's just that I only have that much explanation, there are still many things that I don't understand.
"Hey, I have a bad feeling and it's getting worse and worse" Yuuna unsheathed her sword
He was right, it felt like someone was approaching.
Huh huh?
"Barrrier!" I used my magic
Something like a shadow that resembled a spear tried to pierce towards the two of us, it was stopped by my barrier and went straight back into the bushes, disappearing again without leaving anything behind
It makes me even more curious.
"Everything has its own source, I will follow its direction!"
"Eh? W-wait! Are you serious? Oi! I'm coming!" Said Yuuna left behind me because I was running fast
