I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill
chapter-82-2

Chapter 82.2: Neutral Nations Conference (3)

The first issue was a small trade dispute between the Kingdoms of Rajane and Plagas.

“As you know, the trade route in the Northeast is very rough. The customs finance is a matter to be considered carefully considering that, King Solik.”

“Of course, I admit that, but I think it’s an issue that needs to be addressed here. The amount of salt imported from Rajan…”

They held the meeting in such a way that countries with conflicts discussed with each other, and countries that had nothing to do with it, sometimes offered their opinions and helped.

It reminds me of the first time I took part in the meeting of the Lords.

I heard words I couldn’t understand well with one ear and let it out with the other.

Because the little problems between them had nothing to do with me.

And all the while, neither the Overlord nor the Emperor said a word to intervene.

The Overlord just wasn’t interested in the first place…

I glanced around.

She was drumming her fingers on the armrests and humming in a low, inaudible tone.

She didn’t seem to be interested in what was going on at the meeting.

And the Emperor’s side probably doesn’t step forward because the Overlord was sitting still and there’s no need to provoke her.

The meeting went much more smoothly than I thought in that manner.

The agenda passed one by one until it was Earth Hill and Kajor’s turn.

“We declare territorial claim to the Lowalf Plain, which lies on the border with Earth Hill, King Longford.”

The King of Kajor’s direct remarks made the expressions of the King of Earthhill, and Tair standing behind him, harden.

I crossed my arms and gently lifted my back from the chair.

As expected, this happens.

Before participating in the meeting, I already knew Kajor would do something like this.

Lowalf Plains.

The Golden Land, one of the largest granaries of the Earth Hill Kingdom.

“Kajor has no claims of the Lowalf plains. The Lowalf plains are within the borders of Earth Hill. It is clearly our territory.”

Despite King of Earth Hill’s resolute words, the king of Kajor continued his argument without blinking an eye.

“We have been claiming the rights to Lowalf Plains continuously for 20 years.”

“Are you referring to the absurd data that was presented at the last meeting? Where is the credibility of that data?”

Listening to the war of words between the two kings, the situation was like this.

The King of Kajor, citing the records of his ancestors left in their royal family, insisted that Lowalf Plains was originally an important territory for Kajor, and Earth Hill refuted that this could not be supported.

No matter who heard it, Kajor’s claim was far-fetched, but the king still continued with this absurd claim.

In fact, there was no way the other three countries on the side of Santea would express opinions contrary to the emperor.

So, in fact, no matter what Kajor said, the justification was not important at all. This was just a struggle of rights and interests between the two countries.

“We have already tried to claim our rights to Lowalf Plains peacefully, countless times. But Earth Hill continued to ignore us. If you still continued on in this manner, we would not just stand by any longer.”

The King of Kajor declared.

“If Earth Hill intends to continue to adhere to its current position, Kajor will not hesitate to go to war with Earth Hill.”

War.

The atmosphere in the conference room became chilly.

It was a very calm declaration compared to the contents, but no one in the seat was surprised. Of course, everyone knew about this.

Not only did they know it, but the other three countries were all close to Kajor’s side in the first place.

I glanced at Tair.

He was quietly looking at the King of Earth Hill with an extremely hard face.

The King of Earth Hill glared at the King of Kajor with angry eyes.

“How can you say the word war so easily?”

“It was not a decision made lightly. It means that you should recognize that our resolve is firm, King Longford.”

“…”

“I’d love to hear what other people think about this.”

As the King of Kajor looked around, the other three kings said their opinions.

“I think Kajor’s argument is justified enough. I don’t think it’s a matter for Rajan to interfere.”

“Mator is of the same opinion.”

“So is Plagas.”

The King of Earth Hill’s expression distorted once again.

Soon the emperor’s mouth opened.

“Santea has no intention of interfering in the dispute between the two countries.”

The Emperor had no reason to interfere in their warfare.

It was for a simple reason. Of the two countries, the one that was a little more cooperative with Santea was Kajor.

It was also because if things went sour later, he could simply take back his words and used this incident to grab Kajor’s leash.

The only person left was the Overlord.

The King of Kajor glanced in the Overlord’s direction.

The Overlord, who was sitting in her seat with a bored look, yawned and opened her mouth.

“Calderic has no intention of interfering, either. You all can do whatever.”

At that moment, the slightest hint of anxiety that had been seen on the King of Kajor’s face disappeared, and a feeble joy rose up.

I thought for a moment.

The war between Earth Hill and Kajor.

In the main story of the original game, it was not yet time for the war between the two countries.

I didn’t know if the war had just started late after this declaration, or my presence simply caused some kind of butterfly effect.

Anyway, now Kajor was going to start a war to swallow Earth Hill completely, eating their lands one by one, starting from Lowalf Plains as an excuse.

The national power of the two countries was similar, but Kajor had also attracted the military support of the other three countries in the game, so it was difficult for Earth Hill to stop the invasion.

“What will you do, King Longford? Kajor is ready for war.”

The King of Kajor’s voice was relaxed, as if there was nothing to hold him back.

His concern about Calderic’s interference was completely wiped out by the Overlord’s remarks.

But he was mistaken. There was still someone here who could block him.

Even though the Overlord had declared that Calderic had no intention of interfering, that did not mean that I couldn’t.

“If you intend to start a war, I will support Earth Hill.”

Everyone focused their eyes on me after I spoke.

Bewildered, astonished, and shocked gazes.

The King of Kajor could not speak and blinked his eyes, then looked at the Overlord and asked.

“Certainly, Calderic won’t interfere…”

The Overlord nodded and looked back at me.

“Seventh Lord, I have no intention of granting the military authority to you.”

I already knew that.

Exercising military authority outside of Calderic was only possible with the permission of the Overlord.

I stared at the Overlord.

She narrowed her eyes. Then, as if she understood what I was trying to say, the corners of her mouth lifted and she burst into laughter.

“Puh, hahaha! Oh, did you mean that? Then I will not get involved.”

Others were just making dumbfounded faces, as if they didn’t understand the situation.

“I guess you misunderstood what I said.”

I moved my gaze back to the King of Kajor.

“As the Overlord said, Calderic would not engage in war. Even a tiny army, not even a single knight or wizard, will be mobilized.”

I said to him who blinking his eyes with a blank expression.

“It’s not Calderic who wants to support the Earth Hill Kingdom, it’s just me.”
