Oukoku e Tsuzuku Michi Chapter 570.7

Chapter 570.7

Flashback.
I look out the window of the throne room with a smile on my face.
The ambassador from the Federation next to me follows one step behind.
Dressed in a formal uniform of gold and silver thread with jewels studded in various places, the ambassador was not merely an errand boy, but someone of considerable rank.
「I never thought the unification of the Central Plains could be achieved so quickly.」
Because we aren’t having a talk about particularly confidential matters, Adolph, Tristan, and my wives are positioned freely in the room.
「Many things have happened since then……but it is due to Your Majesty’s magnanimity that the nation has been maintained without major errors.」
I nod, exaggerating my happiness as my hand reaches to Celia, who is standing the closest to me, and rubs her ass.
「……nn……kh……u.」
Pushing the fabric of her thin indoor pants with my finger easily digs it into her anus, causing Celia to twist and squirm.
Then I suddenly steal the lips of Nonna, who is trailing quietly three steps behind.
「P-please stop!」
Nonna offers surface-level resistance, glancing awkwardly at the ambassador before giving me a light peck.
「A-ahem! In line with this, I once again ask that Your Majesty Hardlett visit the capital of my country and attack the Garland Em――」
I nod dismissively and show him a friendly smile.
「I will eventually impose on you, but not right now.」
The ambassador frowns at my vague answer.
「……is there a reason preventing you from visiting?」
「Hm? Fufufu, well about that.」
I call over Mel with a subtle gesture of my finger.
I hug her by the waist as she stands by me, pull her close, and fondle her breasts roughly.
「Ah, gosh! We’re in the presence of a guest……although Your Majesty’s orders are absolute.」
Mel raises her arms above her head, making it easier for me to access her body.
Her ass is as soft as it can be for her age.
「Fufufu, this year Mel is 4x. Don’t you think it’s amazing how tight her body and face is?」
I throw a few irrelevant words at the ambassador.
「……haa. Fruits are the sweetest right before they fall.」
「Aah?」
The ambassador checks left and right for the source of the low-pitched growl.
I guess he didn’t think such a noise could come from the smiling Mel.
「An overly ripe fruit is fine. Mel is a beautiful older woman. I’m going to keep loving you lots.」
「Your Majesty, how cruel……」
Mel protests despite happily wriggling her body.
Fumu, it feels like I’m lacking something.
Patting my left thigh, I call over Marta, the attendant.
Although somewhat confused, Marta politely bows to me and the ambassador, then guides my hand to the small mounds on her chest.
「Now it’s balanced.」
Mel pinches my thigh as I speak to the ambassador with an almost-bored expression.
「I crawled all the way up here from a punk mercenary.」
「Yes, Your Majesty’s rise――stories are being told even in the Federation」
By the way the eyes of the ambassador are darting around, I can imagine what rumors are being circulated, but that’s not what’s important.
「Currently, all of the Central Plains belong to me. I have attained everything in the form of land, gold, and women」
I spread my arms, calling the nearby girls.
Catherine clings to my leg, Carla hugs my neck from behind, Melissa and Rita bare their chests on either side and invite me to suck on them.
I disregard the mixture of disgust, disappointment and disdain on the ambassador’s face and continue.
「Honestly I am satisfied. Even without expanding my territory, I have enough of a feast that will last me a lifetime.」
The beastmen crowd around.
All of them cuddle up against me while supporting their pregnant bellies, licking my legs and face affectionately.
「Beastmen lovers? In my opinion, it’s immoral for the king of a nation to have children of mixed race with that of beasts.」
Oh he knows.
And he isn’t hiding his revulsion either.
「Hahaha, it’s not smart to dislike something without having tried it. Embracing them while petting their fluffy ears and tails was wonderful, I’ll have you know. I planted my seed in all of them in a single night.」
The beastmen roll on the floor, letting out sweet whines as they rub their stomachs.
「Besides, you’re still naive if you get surprised this easily from beastmen.」
When I clap my hands, Lammy slithers in from the window.
「Wh- a lamia in the palace!? Summon the guards this instant!!」
The ambassador screams at the sight of Lammy and brandishes his ceremonial dagger.
「Waah, I’m not an enemy! I won’t do anything, please don’t point that dangerous thing at me.」
Lammy puts her hands up to show she has no intention to harm him as she settles down next to me.
A thin smaller snake coils around her long torso.
「Gosh, you scared me. I was wondering why you called me so suddenly……the kids are startled too.」
The small snake slips off Lammy, coiling around my arm and playfully flicking its tongue at me.
「D-don’t tell me-!?」
The ambassador’s face turns pale.
「Umu, Lammy is a lamia but as you can see, she’s quite pretty. So we made love to each other and had kids.」
「Children with a monster……how abhorrent.」
As he staggers backward, he bumps into damp scales.
「Kyaa! I’m sorry. Did I get you wet?」
「N-no, it’s no big deal. Are you also King Hardlett’s wi――」
The moment the ambassador makes eye contact with Mirumi, he executes a perfect cartwheel and distances himself.
「A fish!? No, another monster!」
「Yes. I am a mermaid.」
Mirumi bows deeply to the ambassador, then points at me, her eyes slanting down.
「Aegir-san, you fertilized our kid’s eggs again, didn’t you!? I told you it’s not good to fertilize your daughter’s eggs!」
「Incestuous monster rap……」
Mirumi’s lecture doesn’t end even though the ambassador is now speechless.
「Also, you threw our son away when he came to you, didn’t you!? Poor thing, he was crying!」
Saying it that way makes me sound like a heartless father. I had a reason for doing that.
「It was a natural reaction of my body. Call it a difference of taste or whatever, I can’t help it when the upper half of his body is a fish.」
Among the many children Mirumi gave birth to, occasionally some are born as fishmen――in other words, they are not like Mirumi whose upper half is human, they are the reverse.
「Don’t discriminate based on such trivial things. He’s our cute little son!」
It’s not trivial, but even supposing it is, I’d be fine if he was only a fishman.
In fact, if I close my eyes, female fishmen feel nice down there and there are times I cum more with them than with human women.
「That thing is not little or cute. He runs on thick hairy legs while howling in a very low voice.……」
Not to mention he has a long thing dangling between his legs.
When he jumped at me, obviously I would reflexively hurl him away.
「Oh……dear God.」
The ambassador’s face goes from pale to pure white and he supports his wobbling body with a hand on the wall.
「Are you not feeling well?」
「No, it’s nothing serious……」
The tan-skinned guard who calls out to him also has a belly that is large enough for a newborn child to burst out of at any moment.
Actually, it’s Sekrit.
I told her not to come out because her identity will be discovered, but she goes so far as to hide her face with a helmet and deliberately interacts with me.
I lightly pat the ambassador’s shoulder.
「Everyday I enjoy exquisite food and fine wine while impregnating women. That’s why I’ll say no to anything that requires a lot of work.」
He tries to smile amicably, but fails and makes an indescribably strained face instead.
「Your Majesty. It’s about time for ‘that’.」
「Umu, you may let them in.」
Celia reminds me with an unconcealed grumpiness.
「Do you mind if I ask what it is?」
「Umu, Goldonia is already developed so I’ll be adding entertainment――specifically, brothels. However, allowing anybody to operate them will result in too many low quality shops. Therefore, I will be personally examining the most popular girl of each shop and then granting permission.」
The door opens, welcoming in a group of scantily-clad prostitutes along with a breeze of perfume.
Trembling, I raise my voice.
「Oh, what improper and naughty individuals! This examination will be a strict one!」
「……my apologies, I’m not feeling well after all. Please excuse me, I need to rest.」
The ambassador says with a weary look.
「Mu, is that so? You did come after a long journey, so take your time and recover.」
I casually greet the tottering ambassador, then tightly hug the prostitutes.
「What are the results?」
「An intelligence officer, disguised as a town dancer ……got a hold of one of the members of the delegation. Several directives have already been transcribed.」
The prostitute I hugged is Rebecca.
「What about inside surveillance?」
「I could install a listening device, but the situation will worsen if it is detected, so I’d like to borrow the abilities of “The Invisible One”.」
（I will do my best to serve the nation!）
Casie straightens her back and salutes next to Rebecca.
I acknowledge her with a straight-faced nod and then go on.
「Casie isn’t the smartest. Keep your orders simple. Ask Neisha to confirm any ambiguous information.」
（You’re so mean!）
The following is a summary of the report from Rebecca and the Invisible Coalition.
Month X Day X
Someone kicks a desk, knocking over cups, which shatter as they fall to the ground.
Pumpkin confections spill. What a waste.
「Lecherous king? That’s just a sex maniac!」
All the members of the delegation are silent.
「The attitude he displayed in front of someone appointed by the great emperor……that’s also minor! He should be ashamed at the mere fact that he bedded beastmen, yet he made children of mixed breed with monsters, that should disqualify him as a human being, let alone royalty!」
A few members of the delegation calm the ambassador.
「For a king of some rural place like the Central Plains to refuse an invitation to join the Federation just to indulge in debauchery――」
The individual I believe to be the second-in-command gestures at the directive and halts the ambassador’s tirade.
I go to check the order but can’t see it due to poor positioning.
I bumped into the candlestick and yelled out.
Two people scan their surroundings. They might have seen me, I better be careful.
「……I know. Goldonia’s royal authority is trivial, but unlike King Alexandro who had ties with the Federation, that man is equivalent to a mountain bandit. The logical move was to have him come as king to White City and inform him of where he stands in the world……however, that is not our top priority this time.」
The ambassador regains his composure and returns the desk he kicked back to its original location.
He appears to have checked the date twice.
「Invasion of the Empire has already begun. It’s a massive invasion that mobilizes land and sea forces, failure is not an option. We should play all the cards we can……we won’t be asking the likes of Goldonia to defeat the main army of the Empire. Luring the local army by rampaging in the east and hindering the transfer of soldiers and supplies to the west, that alone should make a difference to the remaining strength of the enemy.」
Looking closer, isn’t that the pumpkin sweets I hid in the shelf? So mean.
「In this case, the visit to White City can wait. For now, we must at least make him promise to advance on the Empire.」
The ambassador speaks with two subordinates.
「He can’t gather a decent army in that condition. Push comes to shove, we will have to set the stage.」
He scribbles something on a document and hands it to his subordinate.
I believe that person to be the liaison with their mother nation.
My sweets were half-eaten, unforgivable.
「Let’s go to the city on the coast of the North Teries, Elektra――whoops, I accidentally used the old name……I mean the city of Lolokhleks, and lend them some funds and supplies. There’s no chance we’ll get it back, but we have to prepare an army that can sortie as quick as possible.」
Month X Day X
As the liaison returns to the Federation, he claims that he has fallen in love with the officer disguised as a dancer, and pleads with her to accompany him, which she accepts.
She is proposed to on the spot, and in order to complete the mission smoothly, she agrees.
In a personal room on board the ship heading north along the North Teries, he, under the influence of alcohol, has sex with her four times consecutively.
The liaison climaxes dramatically and she matches by pretending to faint from the pleasure.
「Fuu fuu……aah, you’re such a good woman……she’s mine……my wife…… the best……」
After confirming the liaison was sleeping, she unlocks the report case and undos the wax seal, having prepared the necessary tools to reseal it.
The report contains a letter detailing the lending of supplies and money to Goldonia and an evaluation of the king.
The summary is written below.
『Goldonian King, intent to invade the Empire is weak. Inconsistent with prior information describing him as a belligerent usurper.』
『Also refused to visit White City. However does not have any hostility towards the Federation, simply appearing as lazy, vulgar, uneducated, unintelligent, lustful, incestuous, corrupt, and the pinnacle of immorality. I’m afraid he will not obey Your Imperial Majesty, but he is no danger.』
『Additionally, did not aggressively reject invading the Empire. I suggest providing support with supplies and money to help organize an expedition army.』
『The nation is stable based on my information and can withstand an extended campaign if encouraged to fight.』
『As a fool dominated by carnal desires, I also believe things should progress smoother if he is presented with a hundred second-class females with massive assets.』
『Unable to contact former admiral, Ivanna. It is unconfirmed whether she was killed in the wars during the usurpation.』
Month X Day X
Intelligence from the room provided to the ambassador.
「After receiving funds, supplies……and women, under the pretext of immigration, he accepted our demand and promised to undertake the formation of an expedition army. Word has already been sent back home.」
There are no inconsistencies with the information given by the intelligence officer.
The liaison is deeply in love with the officer and detailed information can be extracted at any time.
Furthermore, multiple pieces of personal information on the ambassador have been obtained.
Screams of men and women can be heard outside from here, everyone including the ambassador looks out the window.
When I passed through the wall and peeked, Aegir-san was immediately doing naughty things with the women who were brought in.
All of them were wearing only a shirt and appeared to be splashing each other with water.
The confused female shrieks gradually changed to amused cheers.
It sounded like they were having fun, so I also joined.
「……ambassador, did he really promise an army?」
「Like he could form an army. He passed it off to his subordinate. Documents!」
A subordinate in charge of investigation hands the ambassador some papers.
Copies of the documents are already in hand and have been collated.
「Leopolt――a man who once acted as his military commander.」
「For someone who appeared so unenthusiastic, he assigned a rather important person to the task. Could there be something behind this?」
The ambassador scoffs at the subordinate’s statement.
「Continue reading. At the same time he stole the throne, Leopolt was sent to be part of border patrol……border is in name only, he was essentially demoted to the woodlands. And it happened on coronation day, indicating there is a considerable amount of discord between them.」
「……then should we be worried?」
The ambassador answers the question with a wry smile.
Casie, confirmed to be neglecting her duties.
「It can basically be interpreted as him saying, ‘I don’t care what you do so do as you please’. It’s better if that sex maniac is not involved. Everything should be fine if we can get this Leopolt to cooperate.」
「The person has promptly requested a meeting. Apparently, he says there is a shortage of particular supplies and is asking whether the Federation can lend them on short notice.」
Lord Leopolt has not made contact with the intelligence department as of yet. Unable to confirm.
「Now that logistics are concentrated in the west, the only places in the east with reserves are Lolokhleks and Tukarev. Maybe the main force of the local army in Tobilolsk has some.」
New information confirmed.
「Regardless, we somehow moved that fool so our biggest job is done. Now we just have to……」
Someone knocks on the door.
An intelligence officer, disguised as a servant, enters.
「Um um……I was ordered to tend to Mister ambassador today, my name is Kolka. I’ll do my best not to be rude!」
Dressed in a black butler’s uniform, the individual with the code name Kolka acts in an extremely nervous manner.
「Umu work hard. Hm, you’re pretty frail. How old are you?」
Upon learning the servant’s age, the ambassador nods and walks around, examining Kolka.
「Your face and body is almost like that of a girl’s.」
「Y-yes. I’ve often been told that.」
Seeing Kolka give a slightly uncomfortable smile, the ambassador stops moving.
「Ahem. You two, go and talk with that Leopolt. I’ll stay here and organize the information.」
After his subordinates leave the room, the ambassador sits next to Kolka and puts his hand on the servant’s shoulder.
「You’re really like a girl. Are you deceiving me?」
「Certainly not! Although if you would prefer a female, I can request a substitute.」
The ambassador stands up, seemingly flustered.
「Don’t be silly! It’s wonderful that you’re a man with that face――ahem, nevermind. I am not unhappy with you. You can remain.」
Information obtained from the liaison on the ambassador’s fetishes confirmed to be accurate.
End of report.
「Now then……」
I skim through the reports that come in daily, then take the ones that I usually stuff in my desk while picking my nose and toss them in the fireplace. They’re not needed anymore.
I get up from the bed fully naked, and mutter softly.
「Celia.」
「Yes.」
Celia, who was sleeping next to me completely naked as well, quickly rises.
「Could you call four people for me? First Leopolt, then Adolph, and lastly Tristan and Rebecca.」
「Understood!」
Celia stops right as she is about to dress herself, and only throws the sheets over her body before flying out.
While we wait, let’s free the tearful Casie who has a “unfit for intelligence” sign hanging around her neck.
「Sorry to keep you waiting.」
Leopolt arrives in just five minutes.
Considering how large the palace is, that is unusually fast.
There’s no need to waste words.
I wouldn’t have let Celia run out in that state if I had such time.
「Nice time of year, don’t you think?」
「Yes. The fourth month is the month of budding.」
It will only get warmer from here.
「How are the preparations coming along?」
「With the supplies and funds provided by the Federation, the expedition army is well-equipped to cover a vast expanse of land. And the information we have gathered over the past five years is sufficient for the operation to be a success. Further, much of the ambiguous areas have been filled in by the information gained from the delegation party.」
The door opens again.
「Can the nation handle a war?」
「If it’s for two to three years――Can I say my opinion?」
As Adolph replies right as he arrives, I tell him that he can curse at me as much as he wants later.
The door opens again.
「Doesn’t seem like they noticed……or do they suspect anything at all?」
「Not a thing. We also received aid from the Federation yesterday, plus in the reports which our intelligence officer stole a peek from and the topics in their pillow talk, all they’ve been focusing on are the foolishness of His Majesty and other insults.」
「I also stayed up at night reviewing the battle formation of the eastern local army, however no matter how much I scrutinized, I am sure that their level of caution is zero. In fact, there are signs that they are preparing to move west.」
When I nod, Celia returns.
Although she hesitates a bit from being seen by Leopolt and the others, she had some determination beforehand that there’s no time to waste, so she simply removes the bed sheet and starts dressing herself out in the open. Seeing something as good as that is undoubtedly a sign of things to come.
I don’t smile.
This is all a bit absurd even for me.
After all, we are fighting the source of our support, so there is no justice.
In a sense, this is worse than rebellion.
And the difference in military strength is like the gap between adults and children.
It’s a war where we have to keep winning by an overwhelming margin on the frontlines, we’re finished if we lose the first engagement or if we hold on.
「Do you honestly think we can win?」
I ask with a mischievous smirk.
「I don’t know.」
Leopolt answers immediately.
「But this is our greatest chance. We won’t get a better situation than this. If we can’t win now, we won’t ever win in the future.」
Then we have to follow through.
It’s not a choice of whether to go or not.
It’s a matter of when to go.
「Then let’s do it. Expedition army move out, change course 180 degrees. Target of attack, Elektra and the Olga Federation.」
I say plainly as everyone obeys.
「Rebecca. About the ambassador and company-」
「They will be taken out.」
As I thought, that’s the only option.
「Aaah! Aaah!」
「Ooh, it feels good! I love you, you’re my wife now! I’m never letting you go!!」
The intelligence officer who has taken the form of a dancer is shaking her hips on top of the liaison of the delegation party.
「I also love you. Here, let me bear your children. Cum for me, shoot everything inside me!!」
「Uoooooh!!」
The man grips the woman’s hips until his knuckles turn white, and howl like an animal as he releases his seed.
「Good bye. I actually enjoyed our time together quite a bit.」
In the next moment, she takes a small knife and accurately stabs the man in the heart.
The man, who arches his back and closes his eyes from the pleasure of climax, dies without ever knowing why.
Voices of several young men can be heard from the ambassador’s bedroom.
「Aah, I can’t believe it. All of you are really amazing……why are there so many lovely men in this remote region? If you three do it together, I’m going to……I want to leave the wife I married for the sake of my career and live with you guys. I won’t let you go even after this assignment is over! I’ll take you back home and shower you in luxuries.」
Peeking at them doesn’t feel right so I ask you to conclude that he was finished off at the best possible moment.
The preferences and tastes of the rest were also thoroughly investigated by Rebecca and they had their lives claimed at the height of ecstasy.
A certain individual died after finishing a serving of the finest black beast meat.
Another individual died as he watched the rising of the morning sun at the break of dawn.
Yet another died as he felt the bliss of picking out a giant booger.
A special individual died as brawny women spit on him while calling him a piece of garbage not worthy of living.
「I guess this is the final battle.」
Celia reacts to my words.
「Don’t jinx it. Aegir-sama will win this one and continue on to face the next one.」
「I don’t know if that’s a happy end.」
Smiling, I pat Celia’s head and stand at the head of the army which has started to march.
End of Flashback.
「So if he loses, we’re going to be raped and torn apart.」
「Umu. That’s why when things get dicey, we gotta run early.」
Carla cackles.
「Well, I’ll go if Aegir runs together with us. If he dies first, I’m staying here until the end. I’m already at a good age. If Aegir is gone, my life is as good as over.」
Carla says half-jokingly as she hugs Ekaterina and sits down next to me.
If I die, then obviously she would die and the kids would die. That’s why I can’t die so easily.
「Mmm, no matter how much I think, it feels like we’re screwed!!」
「Irijina-san, you don’t have to think so deeply. More importantly, make sure you properly wash your armpits with the newly developed odor-eliminating soap.」
Irijina stops racking her brains.
「As for me……kyaaa!!」
I lift up the gloomy Nonna as high as I can.
Nonna tries to cover her exposed breasts with her hands, but they’re too big to be hidden.
「In the first place, why should we be thinking of defeat when we’ve won consecutively since the beginning? In fact, we should be throwing parades.」
I shake Nonna in the air.
「Lower me! They’re jiggling! It hurts when my boobs jiggle! Milk is going to come out!!」
「Impossible……wind is blowing over here.」
Anastasia looks at her own mother in shock.
Hey, I’m sure you’ll have breasts as big as that one day.
I put Nonna down when she finally lactates from the stimulation and give her a kiss.
That’s when Rebecca stealthily comes over.
「I have good news and bad news.」
「Let’s hear the good news first.」
I feel like saving the unpleasant stuff for last.
「A familiar face has returned.」
I see that the intelligence officer disguised as a dancer is waiting beside Rebecca.
Her stomach is, remarkably, big.
「It was a safe day and I used contraception……but I guess it was an ejaculation to my soul. I figure this is fate and am thinking of giving birth to the child.」
Umu, good to hear.
Now for the bad news.
「It’s regarding the information she brought back. The army coming from the Federation is estimated to be around 20 000 to 30 000……」
「It increased?」
I ask, lifting up Ekaterina like I did Nonna.
「It’s probably close to 50 000. The number is within the limits we can handle, however…… it’s highly likely the army is an elite winter-specialized battle unit. It’s possible they were concealed in the northern parts out of our reach.」
「When will they arrive?」
When I kissed Anastasia on the forehead as she came to Ekaterina’s rescue, she washes herself and then gives me a peck on the lips.
「If they don’t rush, it will take them two months……I think they’ll be here on the twelfth month at the start of the cold season.」
I smile as Anastasia swims away, splashing me with water from her flutter kicks, then get serious.
「That reminds me, I haven’t seen her recently.」
「There isn’t anywhere to go though.」
I squeeze in between Celia and Nonna as they are chatting, push them down and go in between their legs.
「Wait, I said not to do it in front of the children!」
「I’m already used to it, but don’t cum in the water father!」
I mount my women as Melissa and Anastasia scold me.
