"In the future, the enemy will surely surround this place. The king said, "Let the widow command the soldiers to defend the city bravely, and wait for the rest of the army to come back and the siege will be relieved." ”

"Are there any other armies?" asked Dream.

This is something that Dreamy didn't take into account...... Will the king be able to call on armies from other quarters?

Well, it's strange that you can't call in other armies. It's a country anyway, and it's normal for a king to be able to call on a larger number of troops.

"Yes, those soldiers are fighting on other fronts, and if they are forcibly called back, the loss of large swaths of territory is inevitable. The king sighed and said, "But the survival of the state is the most important thing." ”

…… If that continues, the war will continue. There will also be a considerable number of soldiers who will die. Not only soldiers, but also the lives of ordinary people will be destroyed by the war, and countless people will lose their lives.

In order to be able to protect the capital, so many people need to die?

However, in the eyes of the king, it was quite necessary.

Is the concept different...... If this king does not make this decision......

If this king does not exist.

Destriel's suggestion suddenly appeared in his mind like a serpent's letter, and was instantly suppressed by himself.

However, in this short moment, the cold sweat on his back almost soaked the robe of the dream.

Why do such terrible thoughts appear in my mind?

Did you really do anything to stop the war?

No, no, I would never do that......

"My lord, may I ask you what's wrong?" the king asked with concern when he saw that the illusion's expression suddenly became rather ugly.

"No, nothing. Dreaming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Are you confident of victory?"

"To tell the truth, the widows don't have much confidence that they will be able to hold this city, and the rest of the armies are too far away from here. "It is a question of whether they can hold it until they come." ”

"If you say, what if you can't keep it......?" asked Phantom tentatively.

"The widow will serve the country with his body. The king said, "The inheritance of the fathers and fathers has become like this in the hands of the widows, and it is not enough to atone for one's sins." ”

"So, what about the peace of the people...... "Phantom asked with a frown.

"In this war-torn world, displacement of people is inevitable. "But I beg those men not to stir up confusion, and to keep the city out for a little longer." ”

…… Is it just this level of anticipation?

"Don't you need to think about their safety?" asked Dream, "If we fight, quite a lot of people will be killed, right?"

"yes, but there's no way around it. The king said, "How can there be a people who can live in peace in such troubled times? Moreover, the widows have been working for their welfare, and now that the country is in trouble, these people should also be aware." ”

…… What kind of consciousness can make people give up their lives?

"Could it be that the inheritance passed down from our ancestors is more important than the lives of the people?"

"My lord laughed, how can the foundation of the state and the capital of the state be compared?" said the king with a smile.

…… How so!?
