Transmigration: Forced to Be a Fake

34 - analysis of war

"Why does that sound like Miss." Herdian laughed amusedly. "Does Miss think the Sun God isn't real?"

"Yes. He's artificial." Made by Laila, more precisely.

Meridian glanced at Yohannes who heard all their conversations right beside Herdian's horse.

"But apart from that, it seems that the temple does hold a high authority. What do they do to sinners?"

"Hmmm, it depends on how much the sin is judged, Miss."

"Who judged it?"

"Their coup."

Pastors are human. How do we judge the sins of other human beings while they also have sins?

Or maybe they are already holy so they can judge?

Idiho. Laila's crazy what?

"How do they judge it?"

"I don't know that far, Miss. All I know is that believers will come to confess their sins and be sanctified so that their sins are forgiven."

Let's stop asking or Meridian prying. "So, if someone steals, how will the temple wash away their sins?"

"They will be put in a monastery and will serve the temple for the duration of the appointed time. The heavier their sin, the longer it lasts."

"What if you cover something from the temple?"

Herdian was a little smiling. Miss sure to let Yohannes hear it?

His Majesty knows too.

"I've told Miss. In certain cases, they will be punished according to their actions. Generally they would be forced to admit it in front of everyone."

Well, finally Meridian can get into the real meaning it's convoluted. "What about the perpetrators of adultery?"

Herdian jerks. "They will be paraded around the city and pelted with various sad things. I can't tell Miss."

So the law is like the law of nobles in general? Like the fate of Cersei Lannister in the Game of Thrones series who was pelted with dirt while walking naked towards the palace.

If the priest is like in the series, Meridian sense must be considered again when he destroyed the temple.

"Actually ...."

Nay!

Meridian gasped in shock at the hysterical scream in his head.

Just now he was intending to say 'I might like Dion'.

His goal was to provoke Andaru—'s reaction - that person, if properly watching the Meridian, should have been one or two things he knew— - as well as seeing Herdian's reaction, plus fishing for Dion.

The best way to uncover a secret is to show it as if it were no longer a secret. Turning one's vigilance into neglect is the basic concept of knowing the contents of his head.

Once thrown, three things are obtained.

But the meridian was hysterical?

"Miss?"

"I—"

NO!!!

Noisy.

Meridians intended to enter that world, but nothing happened. All he could hear was an insane mutter who kept saying no, no, don't be full of fear.

So that's right because Dion likes him, right?

"I'm suddenly thinking of the Princess."

I'm not doing you any good, you weakling. I'm just satisfied because I don't seem to need to find out more.

"Mr Princess?"

"She's so pretty." Meridian smiled proudly. "Even I was pleased with his face. Even though he doesn't like me, I actually like the Princess a lot. Her hair was like sparkling gold. If I'm reborn, I want to have a face as beautiful as the Princess."

Herdian. Even though a moment later he laughed.

Accidentally, Meridian also saw Yohannes smiling amusedly.

"You like it too?"

"Yes." Yeah." Herdian looked at him closely. "I like him a lot."

I'd rather you, if I said so, would Miss be angry?

No. gabe. I honestly don't like the princess very much.

The meridian smiled obliquely and glanced in another direction.

Her face was beautiful until I wanted to prostrate to worship her as a goddess, but her behavior disgusted me. I don't even care about him and he bothers me. A guy without a brain like him sucks.

Herdian's lips twitched as if he wanted to laugh loosely. In Meridian's mind, he had actually laughed very satisfiedly.

Hearing Miss's statement never bored me.

You didn't report me?

I honestly don't like his behavior either. Not just Miss, Your Majesty is troubling anyone he thinks is not up to standard.

But I guess he just bothers women.

Herdian. I cannot deny.

Finally, they arrived at the real camp. It turned out to be slightly different from the Meridian shadow, hitting the border region.

The truth is, they stopped at the border area controlled by Duke Elgard, then quietly watched over a neutral zone of dungeons.

The scene was slightly different from the Meridian shadow. He thought that the dungeon could generally be seen after entering a cave or something, but it was not.

Well, there's an entrance to the basement as the name suggests. Yohannes said, if they enter it, then the monsters will start attacking.

But a similar region of grassland outside the dungeon was already referred to as a dungeon.

Meridians could see everything from the hill where they were camping.

Outside of that dungeon was a large number of tents that numbered in the hundreds.

It was only fitting that Andaru had deployed two hundred fully armed warriors led by the best magician, Raphael, to take care of their bandits.

After he asked, it turned out that the bandits were trying to control the territory of the dungeon by collecting taxes from a number of adventurers who hunted monsters.

In fact, the reason why the zone was called the neutral zone was their kingdom and the neighboring kingdom (Meridian did not know what their royal name was) decided to split the results of the dungeon.

Well, the reason Raphael came along other than overcoming the bandits, was to negotiate.

Yohannes did not say, but from the political behavior that Meridian knew, these bandits might be manipulated by their own neighbors.

They intended to rule the dungeon as a whole. Judging from the borders of their own territory, the dungeon was between a river and a snowy hill.

This hill was the territory of the Duke, while the river was the territory of the neighboring kingdom.

Indeed, when viewed from the distance between the two, the river touches the dungeon more than the hill.

Many of their numbers.

If one tent is inhabited by two or three soldiers, then their number is many times the number of Alala soldiers.

Hmmmm, Meridians are a little curious.

He had a hard time analyzing because his understanding of war led to more modern world wars than to such a magical world. If this were the modern world, depending on how the leader of the neighboring country was, there would likely be a real war.

But since they were fighting over the dungeons occupied by those bandits, they would not fight there.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

If this is the modern world, actually that many soldiers is a bit too much. They rely enough on missiles to attack army units, especially if only a vest.

But since this is not the modern world, the first question is why are they so many?

What to seize a single dungeon there must be hundreds of warriors?

Or perhaps a dungeon as valuable as that in this world?

If war were to occur, who would be the most disadvantaged?

And how does this side win, how does that side win?
