Making a plan is easy.

All you have to do is combine various situations and use your head.

The problem is that it is very difficult to apply it in reality.

When I was making plans, things that I hadn’t thought about would pop up and turn my plans into a mess.

“I don’t know if you remember, but it’s called Chechnya.”

“Of course I remember. This person was introduced by the princess herself. How could you have forgotten it? Nice to meet you. welcome.”

In that respect, Chechnya was something to be wary of.

I kept a close eye on the tall, thin man.

It occurred to me that just as I was looking into what kind of person he was, he was also looking into what kind of person I was.

According to Erintina’s explanation, this man was acting as Princess Mona’s agent, and I thought that this man’s words would have a significant influence on future plans with Princess Mona.

“The seats are a bit shabby, but please sit down.”

“no. thank you The general store is neatly organized and looks very nice. Since you are selling something that is supplied to the military, you can trust it.”

“Because this is my home, I try to pay as much attention as possible.”

We continued to talk about the obvious and obvious current situation while throwing random words at each other.

Chechen asked how things were going, and I talked about the annoying nobles who came to see me after receiving my title.

As the conversation went round and round, Chechen slowly got to the point first.

“Everyone is busy preparing according to the orders given by His Majesty, but is Suhan preparing anything?”

“Ah, that’s it. There is no reason why we shouldn’t do it, so it’s true that we intend to do it, but not right now. “Do you have anything in preparation, Princess Mona?”

If so, you should stop it.

“Because I can’t just sit back and miss out on such a great opportunity. “I couldn’t help but prepare.”

“I think we feel direct change more directly because we are at the top. There’s no such thing as a fuss these days. “The overall price of goods has risen a lot, and labor costs have also jumped significantly.”

“It is a situation where there is no one from the royal family and nobility who would not jump in.”

“Do you, the princess, also have a strong will to clean up the contaminated area?”

It’s best to stay safe now.

However, Princess Mona, who liked to get things done in an enterprising manner, could have been more proactive than other royal family members.

“well. How dare I guess what the princess means.”

Chechnya appeared to take a step back.

In the end, I hooked first! I had no choice but to stab it.

“If you are thinking of investing a lot to prepare, it would be better not to do so.”

“yes? Don’t invest? I don’t understand why you say that. If you don’t join now, the princess will have to become a latecomer. “This is advice that cannot be easily accepted in a situation where getting ahead of others is important.”

I thought that if I said no, he would yell at me and ask me what nonsense I was talking about, but Chechnya answered me calmer than I expected.

I felt fortunate to see Chechens acting rationally rather than emotionally.

It would have been difficult if Princess Mona’s entourage was a stupid idiot who had no answers.

“Even if you prepare a lot, the first subjugation will inevitably fail.”

“failure? “How can you be sure you will fail when you haven’t even started yet?”

Chechnya seemed interested in my opinion.

If Princess Mona were to get involved in the subjugation and get a failure ticket, it would be a big problem, so it seemed necessary to give her proper advice.

“I see that everyone is not thinking about failure and is only thinking about the good ending. No matter how much money and people you pour into it, the effect will be minimal in polluted areas. But they probably won’t be happy if I give them this advice. So I am confident of failure.”

The nobles will try to deal with the contaminated areas by raising a lot of sheep.

However, the contaminated zone had already given humanity a long period of peace and had laid a solid foundation inside.

‘The quantity is so large that it can’t be compared. I wonder if that quantity will be enough.’

The humans will inevitably be swept away by the monsters.

The only way to deal with them was for an awakened person with overwhelming power, like the children of Thalia’s unit, to stand at the forefront and wipe out most of the monsters.

“I’m sure…”

“Plus, since everyone has invested something, isn’t there a lot of greed? “The nobles are very greedy, and no matter how well you prepare, it is not easy for things to return to normal.”

If your upper head is stupid, there is no answer.

Therefore, the first subjugation will fail so badly that the nobles will be reminded of how terrible the incompetence of their superiors is.

‘That’s what the original story was like.’

Although the basic main scenario has changed a lot as I’ve tinkered with it, the major events haven’t changed.

The third and fourth scenarios are now ready to proceed.

The second main scenario begins with an abnormal weather phenomenon suddenly occurring after successfully fending off a monster attack.

A group of players entered the contaminated zone to find out why the ground froze and entered winter.

There, you defeat the ice attribute boss monster and the second main scenario ends.

‘That doesn’t happen here at all.’

The third scenario will begin in about a month.

Things happen in the east, a little away from the front lines.

An infectious disease whose exact name is unknown has begun to spread.

The player’s unit moves there to find the reason for the epidemic, and when the problem is solved, the emperor issues an imperial decree that will provide enormous benefits to those who cleanse the contaminated area, just like the imperial decree he issued this time.

‘That’s the fourth main scenario.’

It was a trick that the emperor, who felt a sense of crisis due to the bad things that kept happening around the contaminated area, came up with to move the nobles who were struggling.

‘Now, the wave has been blocked without any major problems, and the monster attack hasn’t become a big problem. So the fourth scenario happened in exactly the opposite sense.’

At that time, the emperor gave such an order to move the nobles who only turned a blind eye and refused to move even when a crisis came to the empire, but now it was the nobles who moved the emperor.

‘How long will you let down your guard? I’m sure I’m confident that I can solve any number of monsters.’

Nobles who do not know exactly the power of monsters.

And will the awakened people belonging to it be able to properly deal with the monsters?

Not only that, when entering the contaminated zone, there will be a lot of fighting between nobles.

It was a subjugation that was uncertain whether or not we would succeed even if we worked together, but there was no way that a good outcome would come out since all kinds of secret battles would take place there.

Chechen, who was listening to my explanation, nodded and said.

“…I didn’t know there would be this much agreement.”

“yes?”

I was also surprised by Chechnya’s words.

“I feel bad saying this now, but actually, I had the same opinion as Suhan from the beginning. So I have nothing prepared right now. “I will not participate in the subjugation.”

I worked hard to convince you, but that’s what you originally decided to do?

“…You thought well. “You won’t lose anything if you do it later.”

“yes. you’re right. I also think the same way. “It is obvious that the advance team will overturn the contaminated area, so why not incur losses by getting involved?”

“I’m glad to hear that you don’t plan on investing in subjugation. “I was worried about how to persuade you.”

“I made a big mistake. sorry.”

Since I found out that he was intentionally hiding the truth and saying things to test me, it was no surprise that I showed off my displeasure.

“And I didn’t mean to, but it ended up in this situation, and the reason I came here today was to tell you this.”

Chechen held out something with a shy expression.

No matter who saw it, it was a gift to me.

It was obvious what meaning that gift contained.

‘I guess he brought it because he wanted to see what kind of guy I was, and didn’t have a good excuse.’

Since I knew what was going on, I accepted the gift box without hesitation.

“This is a gift from the princess. And the small box next to it is a gift from me to congratulate you on your title.”

“Just giving you a title is enough, but you’ve given me another gift?”

“Princess Haehwa says she will come directly to the empire on her next trip.”

“ah!”

This is Princess Haehwa, who returned to the north carrying a lot of supplies obtained from our merchants.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to come on the next trip because of work on the front line.

Was it almost a fait accompli?

However, it is said that a call came from Princess Haehwa.

Princess Haehwa decided to move again for the next material transaction.

“Although the princess made an effort to communicate with Princess Haehwa, she believed that if it had not been for Suhan’s ‘gift’, Princess Haehwa would not have decided to come right away.”

“I see. In fact, I didn’t expect that Princess Haehwa would immediately say she would come to the empire.”

“Princess Haehwa said she often mentioned Suhan’s gift.”

Did they hear that I wouldn’t be there in two months?

Since you saw the unique equipment, it probably caught your eye.

And there was a high probability that he couldn’t bear to hear that he would no longer be able to receive it if he visited after two months.

‘So, it is thanks to me that Princess Haehwa decided to come to the empire.’

Unique equipment was used for this situation.

It was also proof that the unique equipment paid off without fail.

“If that’s the case, I will accept it without hesitation.”

“Maybe you’ll like it when you see it.”

I was curious about the gift of Chechnya’s confidence, but it would be rude to open it right here.
