Chapter 22. Is This Enough to Satisfy You?
Count Gavira turned his head away.
“I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“…Count Gavira!”
“I have never seen Brigadier General Dominic Feather. And even if I had seen him, I would not have known that he was Brigadier General Dominic Feather.”
“What did you say?”
W̊ е̃_b̊ǹ ӧv̆ е̄ l Е ňǔ m̃a
“I have never seen Brigadier General Dominic Feather’s face even once.”
“……”

Nonsense.
There was no way that a man who had served as a battalion commander during the Human–Demon War did not know Dominic Feather’s face.
“…Are you calling that an excuse?”
Duke Torbjhern’s expression hardened.
Ё nù.m а̄. i ď
Count Gavira avoided the duke’s gaze.
“I am not making excuses. I am stating the facts. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, Your Grace… but in any case, I know nothing at all about the whereabouts of the 42nd Combat Air Wing members. If you have nothing further to say, I would ask you to leave.”
“…Count Gavira.”
Duke Torbjhern’s hand trembled.

He slipped his hand into his coat.
His fingers closed around a hard wand.

Daniel hurriedly grabbed the duke’s arm.
“Your Grace!”
“……”
The duke stared silently at Count Gavira.
The pressure he released wrapped around Gavira’s body.
Count Gavira clenched his teeth.

Duke Torbjhern spoke.
“…I do not claim to know Sergio well.”
“……”
“But what you have done just now amounts to aiding the desertion of allied aerial troopers.”
Count Gavira’s body quivered faintly.
Duke Torbjhern lowered his voice even further.

“In our Empire, aiding the desertion of aerial troopers carries, at minimum, the death penalty. In severe cases, it even leads to the confiscation of one’s title. What about your country?”
“……”

Count Gavira closed his eyes.
His eyelids fluttered.
Perhaps imagining an unpleasant outcome, his face turned deathly pale.
“Count Gavira.”

Duke Torbjhern called his name.
He took a step forward.
“If you tell the truth—”
At that moment.

“What do you think you are doing in another man’s territory?”
An intruder appeared.

Duke Torbjhern looked at the one who had suddenly intervened.
“…Marquis of Calacrati.”
The lord of this land appeared, leading soldiers.
“I rushed here after hearing that Count Gavira was being oppressed…”
The Marquis of Calacrati frowned.
“An imperial duke, arriving here without notice—what brings you to this place?”

Duke Torbjhern clicked his tongue.
Judging by the situation, this was…
‘They are in it together.’
Duke Torbjhern faced the Marquis of Calacrati.
“I heard that the 42nd Combat Air Wing members were here. I thought I might come take a look.”
“…A look.”

The Marquis of Calacrati curled his lips.
“Did you truly come only to take a look?”

“……”
Duke Torbjhern smiled.
The Marquis of Calacrati smiled as well.
The two exchanged glances in silence.

Duke Torbjhern stepped back.
“It seems I have my hands full elsewhere. My apologies for coming unannounced. I will take my leave.”
“Travel safely. I will not see you off.”
“…Much obliged.”

Duke Torbjhern promptly left Calacrati Lord’s Castle.
As he boarded the return train, he muttered,

“…Daniel.”
“Yes.”
“About that peddler.”
“Yes.”
“How much did you give him at the end?”
An abrupt question.

Daniel replied calmly.
“I gave him fifteen imperial gold coins.”
“I see…”
Duke Torbjhern gazed out the window.
The scenery rushed past.
He spoke again.

“You could have given him a little less. It was money he would not be able to spend anyway…”
“……”

“…Are you trying to make a fool of me right now?”

The King of the Dorothy Kingdom glared at the two kings before him.
The two kings cleared their throats.
The King of the Kyle Kingdom spoke.
“It is the result of our best efforts.”

“The same goes for us.”
Veins bulged on Dorothy King’s forehead.

“Best efforts? Where do you see anything resembling best efforts here!”
He threw the papers the two kings had brought.
“Forty thousand? At the last meeting, did you not say we would have at least eighty thousand!”
“……”
“How do you fail to reach even half of the estimate?”
Kyle King sighed.

“…The participation rate of the lords was low.”
“Explain in detail.”
“With this civil war as a starting point, there is concern that conflicts may break out between territories as well. They wish to conserve their forces.”
“…Hng.”
The Dorothy King let out a low groan.
He understood immediately.

He looked at the King of the Kelly Kingdom.
Kelly King nodded.

It was the same on his side.
The Dorothy King sighed.
“In the end, only the Dorothy Kingdom managed to field eighty thousand.”
“…My apologies.”

The two kings gauged Dorothy King’s reaction.
Dorothy King tapped the table.
With this, the plan to overwhelm the enemy with sheer numbers was impossible.
Then what remained was—

“A war of speed.”
A surprise attack, striking straight for the enemy’s heart in a short time to seize victory.

With this approach, they could win with equal numbers, or even fewer troops.
The two kings nodded.
“That is correct.”
