Infinite Gacha - Chapter 278

The first thing Lilith did upon her accession to the racial queen's throne was to review ...... tariffs, ban racial slavery, and prohibit unjust racial discrimination.

These contents are said to be based on the "absolute racial (human) independence principle" espoused by the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

The contents of this letter will be sent to each country.

The Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the United Beastmen Kingdom have already been informed and have accepted it without any problems.

The Dragonute Empire is waiting for a reply.

undefinedAnd the remaining country, the Demon Nation, has apparently received a reply.

The civil official who appeared in the office briefly mentioned the reply received from the Dragonic Empire.

The Majin Kingdom will never recognize the notification from the racial kingdom, and will not approve the accession of Queen Lilith to the throne. As an economic sanction, we will suspend the export of salt, magic stones, dungeon items, and demon materials indefinitely.

The Majin Kingdom is second only to the Dwarf Kingdom in having a large number of dungeons.

The items, magical stones, and magical materials extracted from these dungeons are the centerpiece of their exports.

The Majin Kingdom is the northernmost country on the continent, and because of its cold climate, wheat cannot be harvested.

Therefore, they grow crops that can be grown in cold regions.

Wheat is basically imported from the racial kingdoms.

As a condition for the lifting of economic sanctions this time, we must continue to deliver wheat, racial slaves, and other goods until the demon kingdom side is satisfied. If they refuse, we will take aggressive measures.

The details of the offensive measures were somewhat blurred, but it seems to say that they will enter the territory of the ...... racial kingdom and plunder wheat, hunt racial slaves, burn villages, make an example of the racial slaves, and commit massacres.

A civilian man fearfully presents the document to Lilith.

At first she was puzzled by the one-sided content of the document and checked it, saying, "There is no way that such a sentence is really written in ........." But then she realized that it was a document that had been sent to her by a civil official.

What?　Ma, ma, Majinkokuuuuuuuu!　You are too much of a fool!　We are not your vassals, slaves, or convenient livestock!

...... Queen Lilith, you are in front of our guests."

I skimmed over the documents handed to me by the civilian men and found that they were indeed exactly as reported.

Forgetting that I was sitting on the front sofa, Lilith stood up on the spot and shouted out in an outburst of emotion.

The civilian men were frightened by her voice, and Yume (fake), who had become the chief maid at her side, admonished her.

Lilith, who had stood up on the spot and exclaimed when Yume (fake) pointed out the situation, remembered me sitting on the sofa and Gold and Nemmu standing behind me, and sat back down, coughing in embarrassment.

'Shhh, excuse me, Master Dirk. I'm sorry for making you look so uncomfortable. ......"

No, I can understand Lilith-sama's feelings painfully."

I did not mean to sound like a "build-up".

I was seriously sympathizing with Lilith's anger.

It doesn't matter if the Majin Nation doesn't recognize Lilith's accession to the throne as the queen of her race.

It was also fine that they would indefinitely suspend salt, magic stone, dungeon items, and demon materials as an economic sanction, although it would have an impact.

Both of these actions were just barely in time, but they were in line with the rules that a nation can follow in diplomacy.

In a sense, it would be interference in the internal affairs of the Demon Nations to deny Lilith's accession to the throne and to restrict imports and exports.

Even if one country does not recognize it, if other countries do, there will be no problem in the long run in terms of politics and economics among nations.

Lilith has no authority to restrict how other countries behave, and imposing it could cause problems.

It would be difficult for Lilith to interfere in the internal affairs and policies of other countries.

Nevertheless, the Majinkoku has loudly proclaimed violations of rules far worse than interference in internal affairs and imposed them on the racial kingdoms.

They do not declare war, nor do they silently launch a surprise attack.

They simply declared that they would enter the territory of the racial kingdom and plunder wheat, hunt racial slaves, burn villages, make an example of them, and commit massacres, all from a one-sided, superior perspective, though they avoided direct expression.

This is what a nation does!

This is like banditry!　Are we willing to kill people, burn villages, and enslave those we capture if we feel that the other nation is less than our strength?　Such things are not for the state to talk about!

Lilith lowers the civilian men.

We are once again the only ones in the Oval Office.

Lilith raises her eyebrows as if her head hurts.

He says, "...... For now, as for the economic sanctions from the Majin Nation, they are painful, but they have been factored in, so there is no problem."

The racial kingdom is a nation in the center of the continent.

It has a lot of flat land that is easy to cultivate, so crops are grown mainly of wheat.

However, since it does not face the sea and rock salt is not available, it had to rely on imports from other countries for salt.

If Lilith were to assume the position of queen and submit a strong proposal based on the "absolute independence of the human race," without having the other five species' support, the country would not be able to stand on its own simply because the salt supply was cut off.

However, since the Queen of Elves, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the United Beastmen Kingdom have already been informed of the situation, there is no need to be frightened if the salt supply is stopped only in the Majin Kingdom.

(In the worst case scenario, we can just export the "N, salt" that comes out of the "infinite gacha," a gift.

Even if I am not at the bottom of the "abyss," the "infinite gacha" (gift) is always being pushed to eject cards.

Therefore, even if I export "N, Salt", there are still enough cards being discharged.

Back to the story.

Lilith tells us with a serious expression.

Salt can be imported from countries other than the Demon Nation and the Dragon Empire, so there is no problem. The same is true for magic stones, dungeon items, and demon materials. Even if economic sanctions are imposed by the Majin Nation, the racial kingdom will not dry up because of its connections with other countries. However, the ...... problem is the banditry that will be committed by the Demon Kingdom if it refuses to accept the sanctions, and that is not the kind of banditry that one would expect from a proud nation."

Currently, the racial kingdom is in turmoil with the accession of Queen Lilith and is taking time to seize control.

It cannot afford to protect the villages near the border of the demon kingdom, and the race is originally the weakest of the six species. It would be suicidal to take on the soldiers of the Demon Kingdom.

It was impossible to defend with our own soldiers.

So, were we to remain quiet and give in to the threats of the Majin Nation?

Lilith looks straight at me.

Her eyes were shaking with seriousness and uncertainty, not knowing if I would get her approval.

Lilith clears her throat and opens her mouth.

Lilith clears her throat and speaks, "Master Dirk, it is difficult for us to offer you what you want in return. But we cannot continue to sacrifice our people!　So, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, ...... can you help us to prevent the violence that is unreasonably coming at us from the demon nation?　Of course I would be happy to do whatever I can do to help you in the future. So please ...... please ......"

Lilith bows deeply.

A plea from the Queen of the Racial Kingdom.

The answer to this question was obvious.

Rather, there was only one.
