The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 625: For the Continent

『The Sokal Empire will fully support the Empire's claims.』

At the Council of Wise Kings, a meeting where kings from across the continent gathered, the Emperor of the Empire initiated the discussion. The Empire's claim was to label the kingdom, currently at war with the Allied Forces, as a "threat to the continent," and to dispatch the strongest forces from each country.

The first to agree was the Imperial King of the Sokal Kingdom, Mikhail Arla Sokal.

"A day has come when we receive support from the Imperial King."

『I don't like it either, but the core of the Allied Forces is the Empire. If the Empire claims that the enemy is a demon, we can't say no.』

"Your consideration is appreciated."

Among the three great powers of the continent, the Kingdom is currently an enemy, leaving the Empire and the Sokal Empire in agreement. Furthermore,

『Currently, the Adventurer's Guild is preparing to dispatch elite forces of AA rank and above. If each country agrees with the Empire's claim, we will also summon SS-rank adventurers.』

Guild Master Clyde supported the Empire with these words. The Guild Master can only move adventurers up to S-rank on his own. Of course, he could mobilize one or two SS-rank adventurers, but he couldn't gather all of them to participate in a war between nations.

All the kings of the continent must recognize that the enemy they are fighting is not the Kingdom, but the demon. The enemy judged by the continent is the Kingdom, but it has already crossed that line. The current Kingdom is a threat to the continent, an enemy to humanity, and a collaborator with demons.

Other countries also voiced their support. Most of the evidence is in place. The only reason to oppose it is that the demon has not yet shown itself. And because it would be too late if the demon appears, this Council of Wise Kings is being held.

『What are the countries that do not agree hesitating for?』

After declaring her support, Orihime, the representative of the Mizuho Kingdom who had been silent until now, spoke up. Some small countries are still undecided. If all the kings approve here, the strongest forces from each country will head to the Kingdom. The elites from across the continent will gather. Is it okay to decide so easily?

The Empire and the Sokal Empire are major powers, but here they are kings on equal footing. Therefore, to the cautious kings, Orihime said,

『Right now, while we are leisurely talking here, soldiers of the Allied Forces are losing their lives on the front lines. It's fine to consider carefully... but are you aware that the time you are taking is being bought with the lives of the Allied Forces' soldiers?』

"Celestial Princess-hime..."

『Let's abandon our calculations. I will abandon mine too. Imperial King, you can reproduce teleportation magic, can't you?』

『If I use it, the elite magic squad won't be able to move for a month... but it's not impossible.』

『I will go with my servants. Send us to the Kingdom.』

It was an outrageous proposal. The Sokal Empire is hostile to the Mizuho Kingdom. They couldn't break through the barrier created by the Celestial Princess and couldn't lay a hand on her, but now she's going to the Sokal Empire. Of course, there's a risk of assassination. However,

『I'd like to say 'sorry if I die,' but... there's no helping it in this situation. I'll send No-Name along with the Celestial Princess.』

The Sokal Emperor approved. Letting the Celestial Princess into the Sokal Empire also poses a risk to the Sokal Empire. Even so, to eliminate the threat to the continent, the Sokal Empire approved. Seeing that, the kings who had been silent also voiced their support for the Sokal Empire's claims. A unanimous agreement. ṚáＮȯＢĘŠ

Seeing the result, Clyde announced,

『We have obtained the agreement of all the kings of the continent. From now on, the enemy of the Allied Forces is the demon. We don't know how many will appear. Each country should dispatch their strongest forces to the royal capital by any means necessary. And our Adventurer's Guild will... assemble five SS-rank adventurers. We don't know if we can win against them.』

Clyde cut off his words there. And then,

『But we believe we can win. We have been preparing for 500 years. We expect support from each country.』

Not all countries can dispatch forces. Not everyone can use teleportation magic like the Sokal Empire. Some may not make it in time due to their location. Such countries need to provide support other than combat. This is a total war for humanity.

『For the sake of the 'Continent'.』

Hearing Clyde's words, all the kings declared,

『『『『『For the sake of the Continent』』』』』

■■■

The Adrasia Empire.

In the long-distance communication room of the Imperial Sword Castle and the headquarters, both were installed only once. Therefore, Emperor Johannes was in the capital branch.

"Alida! Is the Imperial Guard ready to sortie!?"

"Yes! Anytime."

"What about the Brave House?"

"We can go anytime as well."

Standing by were Alida, the captain of the Imperial Guard, and Theobald of the House of Brave, who form the twin swords of the Empire.

Emperor Johannes began to walk with the two of them.

"Sortie! Gather the forces here!"

■■■

The Cornix Dominion.

"We don't have enough skilled knights in our kingdom to dispatch. However, we can't do anything in the face of the continent's threat. Please... go as the representative of the Cornix Dominion."

The King of the Dominion Traugott bowed his head. In response, the only skilled person in the Cornix Dominion said,

"Of course! I'll take care of those demons!"

Mia accepted with a bright face. Of course, she knew she might die. The opponent is a demon. An enemy that even SS-rank adventurers might struggle in a fight. Mia is at the lowest line from SS. Still, Mia accepted.

"I will definitely make the Cornix Dominion known on this continent!"

"Thank you. The Adventurer's Guild has told us to wait. It seems they will 'pick us up.'"

"Pick up?"

"I don't know the meaning. However, they are an organization that has been preparing for demons for 500 years. I wouldn't be surprised at what they are hiding."

Saying that, Traugott gave a wry smile.

■■■

Sokal Empire.

"Is the Court Mage Corps ready to sortie? Prepare the Teleportation Magic Squad immediately!"

"Sending the strongest Court Mage Corps of the Sokal Empire shows how serious we are."

The No-Name standing next to the Sokal Emperor quietly said. In response, the Emperor replied discontentedly,

"The possibility of annihilation is high for any special forces other than SS-rank adventurers. However, our Sokal Empire bears the same obligation as the Adrasia Empire. It's unthinkable not to dispatch out of fear of attrition. Unfortunately, we don't have a Brave House in our country. Can you take their place?"

"I am an SS-rank adventurer of the Adventurer's Guild. However... I will promise to fight as a member of the Sokal Empire adventurer branch."

"I'm not satisfied, but well, it's fine. I'm counting on you, No-Name."

"Leave it to me. I will definitely... protect this continent."

■■■

Mizuho Kingdom.

"Head to the Sokal Empire right now! Get ready!"

Orihime gave instructions to her aides. If something happens to Orihime, someone else will take over as the Celestial Princess. However, there is no one on par with Orihime. Only the title will be transferred. Then the Celestial Kingdom will be in a pinch. Still, she has to go.

"You're coming too, aren't you?"

"Of course. I'm still an S-rank adventurer."

Orihime smiled faintly and began to walk. Following her was a tall, short-haired man.

■■■

Dwarf Autonomous Region.

"We dwarves would like to participate in the war, but it's too late to make it now."

Dwarf King Makarl sighed regretfully. Dwarves are more powerful than human knights, but there are no outstandingly strong individuals among them. Therefore, the Adventurer's Guild does not "stop by" here. If they really want to participate in the war, they have to go on their own.

"It's frustrating that even the elves are participating."

"Don't be so down. I'm here."

"Are you going?"

"Of course. My homeland was burned, and my brethren fled... I did nothing because it was for this moment. I am an SS-rank adventurer who will protect this continent."

Saying that, Egor drained the liquor in front of him. Seeing that, Makarl also drained his liquor.

"Good luck."

"Leave it to me."

Saying that, Egor stood up with a white cane in his hand. Then, at the entrance of the autonomous region, Sonia was there to see him off.

"Will you get lost by yourself?"

"I'll just run straight. I won't get lost."

"I hope so..."

"Don't worry. I won't miss the presence of evil."

Saying that, Egor smiled and stretched to pat Sonia's head.

"It's okay. The humans of this continent are... strong. No matter how much they conflict, they are connected by bonds. The fact that you and I are together is proof of that. Elf and dwarf. It's a strange combination, but it works well. This is a power that demons don't have. I will... prove that."

Saying that, Egor disappeared from the spot.
