Chapter 295: Puppet War (12)
“Use their hatred? Please elaborate.”
Marbas asked in his usual calm demeanor.
If you had to pick out a Demon Lord with the most notable political viewpoint, then it would naturally be ex-Rank 5 Marbas. He will most likely understand me the most. I spoke while holding this hope.
“Sir Marbas, to put it simply, Frankia has two governments.”
First, there are the royalists and the republicans. This isn’t all. The royalists are also split into two sides. There are royalists who are hostile to Brittany and royalists who are friendly to them. People normally refer to the former as patriots and the latter as traitors.
The republicans are also split into numerous groups, but let’s narrow them down to two for now. If I make it complicated from the beginning, then the other Demon Lords wouldn’t be able to follow along.
“A fair number of people in Frankia support the royalists. Should I say about fifty percent of their total population? On the other hand, the republicans have the support of roughly thirty percent. If you compare this ratio, the royalists have an overwhelming advantage……but if you consider the safeguarding factions, then that changes things.”
“Safeguarding factions?”
“First, the republicans. I will preface this by saying that the republicans in Frankia were slaughtered. The north is where the people who barely managed to survive have gathered. Most of them do not have the spare manpower to create an army.”
