Chapter 674 – For Whom the Island Is Moved (2)
I prayed to the goddess Dana for a prosperous future and said.
“If it’s news from Atlantis, she saw and hit her with the Wyvern Express a few days ago.”
“Ah, yes. The paths diverged, so I got it the other day. After reading it, Gildart and I passed out for about 10 seconds.”
“Princess. Thousands call it sleepy.”
“Did you bite into the crab bubbles too?”
“Aha! That’s saliva When you doze off, it flows from your mouth.”
“My way.”
Tsk tsk. You can’t do it alone. Only then will you fight your mouth with your servants?
When I munched on the beef—I refused because it reminded me of fishmen—Elizabeth changed her expression to something quite serious. It was a quick change, like changing a mask.
“Enough of the joke, you know that Atlantis is really something from another dimension, right?”
“Nothing. From a military point of view, it is more than a fleet.”
I think I’m a little wrong after saying it.
‘What is a fleet? Almost Unlucky Laputa.’
There is a reason why we did a shit show while mobilizing
Didn’t I say earlier that it was a place where you couldn’t land normally?
Even if you look at the sailing speed, it’s faster than the ship, so how are you going to catch up?
Even if you stick to it, if you fire magic at the shoreline, the approaching ship will sink. Wouldn’t it be safer for foot soldiers on bicycles with rifles to follow the tanks?
Counterattack? Is there a ship with the firepower to sink the island?
Gildart wiped his lips as if satisfied with Hughesreuth’s local cuisine—what the cooks in this village did with all their might. And he said with a sigh.
“What about when you attack? For that ship to crash into the coastal base, it must be a disaster for the enemy soldiers.”
“We don’t even need a port. It’s a piece of shit to plant troops on a tidal flat where no preparation can be made, or on a coast where there is no military base.”
An island that can drive 100,000 soldiers inland.
What a huge advantage that is.
No matter how big a ship is, it can’t dock without a port. It is common sense in the military just as if an airplane without a runway is useless.
But isn’t Atlantis an island where people twist their whole bodies and fly cuckoos?
‘Changing the paradigm of war at all would be a chore while lying down.’
Thinking that far, I spit out a few more things I had in mind beforehand.
“I boarded Atlantis to fight back, but what if the island moves off the mainland? It’s like turning on Bae Su-jin and going in to die. It’s like going into the enemy camp without supplies.”
“I totally agree. That is a rare war weapon that does not cover land and sea.”
Gildart muttered, half-opening his eyes.
According to my research, Gildart was a knight.
If that’s enough for him to say that, it must be that the Atlantis operating method, which I roughly thought of as an elite big-head, has a realistic beauty.
‘Even if there is an army, enough food, and a few ships in Atlantis, it’s a conquering country.’
Mobility replaces firepower.
It’s a tactic that can be found quite a lot on Earth.
Kitayin, a water-type Mongolian army led by Chinggis Kang.
I can’t do farming because the salted fish is salted in seawater, but if I had become self-sufficient, it would have been really bloody.
“If you have Atlantis and enough military power, it won’t be difficult to destroy the country. Among the relics of the golden age of ancient civilization, it must be of the highest quality.”
Platinum class adventurer, Princess Elizabeth even put a certification mark on it.
Verdict: Atlantis is an ancient murder weapon.
‘It’s a top-notch ancient artifact. He’s also great.’
I can’t take it off, so it’s difficult.
‘If this mobile island led by the Atlanteans had participated in the Great War of the Ancient Civilization, it would have easily destroyed at least a few enemy countries at that time.’
But from my point of view, it was not something I could just be happy about.
“I can only think of the
Gildart said that and shook his head.
Elisabeth also nibbled on her fork and sighed.
“You know what that means? Excluding the power that Miss Tyrsi and you showed in the underworld, you already have the potential to acquire a nation-level military force. It’s so hard that even the royal families of other countries can’t stand by.”
“… There will be someone who wants to take over this island.”
I said shyly. It was a reasonable guess.
There are values that are higher than human dignity or self-respect.
Elementary school students who bring Nintendo to school always have to worry about theft.
“Assassination, not poisoning. Such banal means are only used as a last resort.”
“To be honest, assassinating a mithril class warrior is very reckless! Nord. Even if you eat deadly poison, won’t you have diarrhea for a few days? Gildart did!”
“It was information I didn’t really want to know about diarrhea.”
Gilbung… There was such a past…
‘No, it would be great if it ended up with an upset stomach after eating deadly poison.’
Still, it sounds like a fucking embarrassing incident.
Norovirus sounds plausible, but lying down while eating poisonous raw oysters sounds a little off. Princess Geo, please take care of your husband a little more.
“But if I search, Atlantis will be a nuisance?”
“Are you talking about the control authority of the navigation function? Don’t worry, I’ve already spread rumors along the way. We’ll do a fact check, and there won’t be any problems right now.”
It seems that I have prepared something that I could think of on the spot.
So I put the tableware down and focused.
“I will listen to the opinion of the princess.”
“There is nothing to be ashamed of. The person who found the artifact is the owner, right? Still, it means there are more people who don’t want to keep that unwritten rule for something like this.”
“I guess so. Is there any way I can prepare?”
“In the capital, there is bullshit saying to hand it over as property of the state, but just ignore this. They are idiots with their brains salted in delusions or nobles with greedy faces.”
Whoa. No matter how private it is, look at the rant.
When I shrugged her shoulders, she braced herself.
“I have no intention of taking Atlantis from you. It’s hard even if you want to. It’s Britannia’s tradition for the nobles to unite and stop when the royal power seems to be getting stronger!”
“Isn’t that similar to other countries?”
“Yes? Wasn’t it common for nobles to spread out sleeping bags in front of the palace and lie down in groups?”
“I’m sorry for messing around.”
Great, Britannia!
It was a princess couple who fell into Samcheonpo for a while and discussed the fucking political scene in Korea. They say this is the same no matter which country you go to.
You can see your country’s political scene the best, and you might feel like an idiot that much.
“So, for the time being, we are here saying, ‘Why are you arguing with someone else’s territory? Do you want to have a fight with Britannia?”
“It’s a simple response, but it’s a response that only royalty can do.”
“Yes. If the royal family steps forward like this, it will be difficult for the opponent to fight morally, right?”
Elizabeth smirked and laughed. She was a high school girl on a school trip, and she had a bloody smile as if she had seized the victory during a pillow fight.
Is this the next queen? The future of this country is not bright, so I will cause nuclear fission.
“Because there is no one-size-fits-all approach to this problem. If it’s you, I’ll believe you can guess the reason without having to explain it painfully.”
“Uh. I know something similar happened in my hometown.”
Just thinking about Dokdo makes sense.
Because 99% of the causes of war are conflicts of interest.
‘And the land mass is the peak of the conflict of interests.’
Building owner? Land rich? They are only the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Compared to the government’s greed for territorial expansion, the monthly rent of the building owners was new blood.
Isn’t the landlord stealing money from the tenant’s room and cutting off the limbs of the tenant who resists?
No other country will help us.
‘Rather, I’d rather try to pierce the persimmons I can’t eat, so I’ll start by interrupting them.’
Even if you can’t fit into your own ship, you’ll be disrespected watching others gulp down Atlantis.
I wonder if it was quite impressive to show the Buddha’s attitude that I understand everything. Elizabeth relaxed her shoulders and spread her arms as if relieved.
“I’m glad you’re smart again. I was worried about what to do if you doubted, saying, ‘A princess blinded by greed is trying to deceive me’!”
“Well, it’s not something I can’t understand. It’s not a problem I can see a solution to. Politics is really annoying.”
“Because it really is. It’s more convenient to go around ruins than politics.”
It was Elizabeth who, as the next queen, uttered words of great concern.
“We must not give excuses so that other countries do not go to war! I even received permission from Obama to act as the king in case of emergency!”
Still, feeling a little relieved as she clenched her fists and cried out.
“Thank you. In terms of power, I’m not in that high position.”
Humans are social animals.
If I fought to fuck the rule of law, the justification would pass to the other person.
It’s like pouring ammonia concentrate into a new car you just pulled out today because the bathroom line is long.
Even if it’s a little annoying, this is a high school student instead of me——no, it’s only right to find someone who can fight.
She is a princess who is bright in politics and even trusted by her king father. Let’s trust and leave it to me while watching so that the problem doesn’t explode.
─Tak! Elizabeth slapped her forearm and said.
“Of course you have to do this! Now that I have obtained such a ridiculous island, it seems that the promise to give you the territory will not come to fruition!”
“Even if you sent Atlantis to me, wouldn’t you have kept that promise?
“Yes! Wouldn’t it be a chance to help the national interest and return the favor to you? Leave the complexities to me and the tattoos we brought!”
So we spent some time discussing some more fine-tuning.
I’m busy preparing for the wedding, but I have to think about these things.
Are all nobles like this? I don’t think so.
It’s all because of these fucking babies. If it wasn’t for those bastards, I wouldn’t have had to suffer so much.
“Ah ah. It’s nice that there’s no demeanor, but this job is pretty troublesome. It’s going to be a long fight.”
Elisabeth also let out her breath as if exhausted after a few more hours.
She put her fork on her lips and put it behind her head.
“Is there any plausible justification? After all, in territorial disputes, the side with the local people has the advantage. When I hear your story, they say there are only monsters, let alone locals.”
“Are you a local?”
Elizabeth blinked her eyes when I asked.
“Yes. Well, they kick everyone out and sometimes they don’t know. Still, if you insist that ‘this land is our legitimate territory from generation to generation!’ With the backing of the state, isn’t one justification clear?”
“… Hmm. That’s for sure.”
Inadvertently, I half-opened my eyes and stroked my chin.
If my wives had seen it, they would have watched it with half expectation and half worry, saying, “This bastard thinks it’s strange again,” But you can’t expect that from this princess and his wife.
“There is more than that. Would you like to tell us a little bit about how you ended up going to that island?”
Do you like this kind of talk? The immature princess made her eyes shine.
“You want me to hear it, what is it?”
“Of course it is an adventure story! Where did things come from? Said it was sunk in a trench? How did you know there was an island in a place like that? Let me hear from you too! Yes?!”
“I do not know. It’s a story that will take a few hours.”
“It can’t be helped if you’re very busy, but we need to know what to help! Isn’t that right, Gildart?”
“If you know the circumstances behind it, it will be comfortable when you match your words.”
If you pretended very much, you were pretending. Being clever.
But it was a good thing. I twitched and smiled.
“Good. By the way, princess. I was talking about a while ago.”
“Yes?”
“Even if you are not a local citizen, you can prove who has the rightful ownership of Atlantis, right? It would be much better if there were people who were historically related to that island.”
“… What, right?”
A definite answer came from the mouth of the royal family. I pulled out the papers in chunks.
“What is this?”
Elizabeth asked after accepting it like a skilled ink player.
What is it? I said, making a pair of sheep horns with my fingers on my head.
“I am a German refugee candidate.”
If you understand, hurry up and write your royal signature.
I’m going to make a resident registration card for our goddess.
