Chapter 303: Empire Murderer (5)
Barbatos raised her head.
“……Why are you the one going in to meet their queen?”
Barbatos’ unique characteristic was the fact that she would always talk in a playful tone, but her voice sounded weaker than usual right now. No. Should I say it was weaker than usual or that she was deliberately being monotone?
“Our goal was to subjugate Agares and we accomplished that goal earlier. It was thanks to this cause that we were able to block the intervention of foreign nations like Bernicia. If we don’t show even the slightest bit of mercy to their queen, then things will get rather annoying.”
Winning is good, but stomping on the enemy excessively would only make the other nations warier of us than necessary.
The commanders pitched in for almost all of the war expenditures this time. Three months have already passed since this war started, and it was usually around this point that funding became a concern. People are probably thinking about making up for it through pillaging and taxes now.
This was the perfect time to end the war. The demon soldiers would be happy since they’d be receiving a good wage after not experiencing much danger, the monsters would be happy because they were able to eat a lot of human flesh, and the Demon Lords would be pleased since we would be getting the greatest conclusion despite not having spent that much money. This was a happy ending no matter how you looked at it.
However, Barbatos’ expression said otherwise. She brought up something random.
“No, I mean why does it have to be you?”
