150 – The leader of the group task is the one who leads even the trash (3)
The demon’s plan revealed by the Dragon Lord in front of everyone was far more brutal than expected. Blowing down mountains, causing great damage to the northern provinces. Taking advantage of that gap, they attack with monsters.
If it were normal times, it would be possible to deal with it at least. Recently, the Tribal Union has been focusing its efforts on expeditions and occupation. There wasn’t enough room to help other races right away.

In order to protect the tribal union, we have no choice but to stop the expedition. If that happens, the demons will also be able to regain their composure. It could be said to be the best policy for the demons.
Not even from other races, if the dragon goes rampage. The dragon could have lost trust. In the worst case, civil war could break out again between the orcs and the 12 tribes.
“It was a cruel scheme beyond imagination.”
“I’m glad I figured this out now!”
“If it happened like this… I’d get goosebumps.”
Not to mention the 12 tribes or other races that are involved. Even the dull Orcs could not hide their astonishment at this point. If it had happened, there would have been no reason why a civil war wouldn’t break out.
The behavior of orcs is almost beastly. The rule of thumb where the stronger get everything. Orcs added a bit of intelligence to it. Because I have some free time now.
Although it is possible to cooperate with the 12 tribes and share with each other. If the orcs lose their composure, they will of course run out of control. Sharaka himself did not have the confidence to stop the outrage by himself.
“That’s right, if it wasn’t for Captain Hans, he would have been knocked out.”
“Did Captain Hans figure it out himself?”
“I guess I just found out? I even subdued Zaerkan myself.”
“D-You’re going to subdue the dragon alone?!”
Not only the delegation to Yulane’s reaction. Even the chiefs reacted in amazement. For them, the dragon was the reference point of an absolute existence that could never be resisted.
And at the same time, everyone was naturally watching Dragon Lord Yulane. In a way, it was natural. Dragons are called the race of benevolence, though they love all other races.
Among them, they are especially full of love for their own people. Of course, I bend my arms inward, even if my compatriots do wrong to other races. There were a lot of cases where I just got over it somehow.
However, it was rarely a problem. Apart from compensating for more than that damage. If the dragon thoroughly distinguishes between public and private affairs. Because that’s such a big deal.
Before the demons appeared, or even now. Dragons are strong enough to subdue all races even if they turn them into enemies. In other words, it is possible to control the races.
“Honestly, it’s true that I’m a little angry. It can’t be helped, right? The proof that I’ve been liaising with demons is so clear.”
“That’s right too.”
“I think Captain Hans may have expected this far and subdued it. Thanks to that, the great confusion was prevented.”
Everyone looked at Hans in admiration at Yu-Lanne’s words. As Yulanne said, there was no way that he attacked the dragon right away just because the dragon was holding out. The dragon’s strength was also strong.
Above all, there is no race that does not know the love of fellow dragons. Even so, Hans subdued the dragon. The only answer to this is that he found out about the dragon’s plan.
‘I didn’t know until then.’
And of course it was Hans who couldn’t be. From Hans’ point of view, the dragon does not go out in front and endures. Was forced to fight. I only found out about the demons and my friends in the middle.
But I didn’t bother to say it. Because that side is much better for you. Especially if the dragon lord turns his back on you for saying useless things. There was no loss as great as that.
“However, even if the dragon disappears, the plan is unlikely to stop. Somehow, for now, the demons have to regain their composure first.”
[Certainly, then, would it be right to stop the expedition first?]
“That’s not okay. As a result, it will end up giving the demons what they want.”
The demons lost their composure due to the massive counterattack of the tribal union. As evidence of that, the continued attacks of the monsters also lost momentum. The low-level demons that appeared intermittently were no longer visible.
Even the ancestors suffered damage. In a way, it is natural. In other words, there is a very high probability that the demons also bet on death on this day. That means you have to block it somehow.
“You can’t completely stop the expedition. It’s a different story if you stop and start again.”
If you completely stop the expedition. Materials or manpower used for the expedition are moved. Because you can’t just make fun of them. Then, when you prepare for the expedition again, the speed will be slower.
That’s like giving enough time to the demons. In other words, half of it is no different from moving as the demons intended. If that happens, we will be in trouble.
It’s at least quiet now. Demons are never easy enemies. Didn’t he try to use the former leader as a puppet, saying that the Comprachicos was the stage?
“You shouldn’t give the demons a chance. If you can, you should apply as much pressure as possible. I don’t even think it’s harsh.”
Although it was Hans who had experienced it himself. Of course, the most worrying thing was the original situation of this game. The original situation was far worse than it is now. Not to mention Orcs and Vampires.
The completely destroyed Dwarven Principality or the 12 tribes, etc. The original situation was far worse. But where is the guarantee that that’s not the case now? It could have been that way at any time.
[What is the leader’s plan?]
The leader of the elves who has been silent until now. Makenis opened his mouth. From the point of view of Captain Makenis, there were some shocks. Now I had to focus on my future plans.
And the plan is…….
“Simple is sometimes the best trick.”
Of course, Hans couldn’t have had such a plan.
But I had to do something. So he spoke.
“Preemptive strike. This time we hit the enemies first.”
* * *
Let’s start with an excuse. Thanks to his position as general manager of the Royal Knights, Hans has bubbly far more than he is capable of. There will usually be a few people who enjoy such bubbles.
Most people are bound to feel the burden of bubbles first. But he couldn’t even quit. The current tribal union is the Royal Knights. To be more precise, they are tied up thanks to Hans.
All races owe Hans grace. Because he has the help of the Royal Knights again. It is not an exaggeration to say that the tribal union is being maintained. There were pros and cons to it.
The biggest downside is that dependence increases. If that’s the case, Hans will have to prove his abilities again. If he proves his ability, his dependence goes up. Then he feels more burdened.
It is safe to say that it was a vicious circle. In fact, what I said this time was close to Hans’ limit. Because it was Hans who thought that the dragon took away the land of the orcs in the first place.
I didn’t even think that that place was the place the demons were targeting. So what I spit out after thinking about it was a preemptive strike. However, Hans’ judgment was not necessarily wrong.
[This is definitely not a bad judgment.]
[Since time has already passed.]
[Hmm, that’s right. I have no choice but to agree this time.]
If the northern part collapses, Orcs and the 12 tribes will suffer great damage. Still, the most food in the Tribal Union. In other words, if the beast people who raise livestock collapse. It was going to be very difficult then.
In addition, the orcs were still responsible for safety while hunting the monsters coming from the north. That was also the reason why the 12 tribes and orcs could forget their grudges and join hands.
Stable land was needed for herding and farming. After all, it was as if the Orcs were making that stable land. Conversely, Orcs can also receive food stably.
No matter how ferocious a dog is, if meat is thrown every day, it won’t bite. To put it simply, that’s it. Hans knew that too. He suggested that it be dealt with quickly.
For a more honest purpose, it was to buy time. There are very few cases where a preemptive strike is called a preemptive strike. A plan to make a plan first and buy time to think until then.
“It’s hotter than I thought? That’s how it should be, like the captain of the Royal Knights! I really like it!”
“I see.”
“Shall we go right now? I think we can finish it right away with just the two of us, right?”
“??”
But I never thought that the Dragon Lord would come out like that. Naturally, Hans tried to refuse. But before I knew it, Yu-Lane was behind Hans. Just like that, when I blinked my eyes.
“It’s here!”
“…….”
Hans noticed that he was standing on a mountain peak.
