XX: Dorssen

TO the north of Farune and Cadonia lay a country called Dorssen. Dorssen was five times as large as Farune, and at least double the size of Farune and Cadonia combined. Said to have existed since the formation of the continent of Ares, Dorssen had a long history, and its royal family was alleged to be descended from a goddess. It was one of Ares’s great central powers, and in addition to its territory, its economy and military both surpassed Farune’s by a long shot.

From Dorssen’s perspective, both Farune and Cadonia were just buffer zones against the Forest of Beasts, but those buffer zones had suddenly merged.

The king of Dorssen wasn’t happy about that. Naturally, he was well aware of Farune’s recent expansion into the forest and accompanying sudden, rapid growth. He could tolerate that. But no matter how much a small country developed, there was a limit to its scope. Even the construction of that barbaric facility, the arena, and the revenue it generated from gambling, had earned only a derisive laugh from Dorssen’s king—poor countries were always desperately trying to find some way to stay afloat.

However, he couldn’t overlook the fact that Farune had annexed a neighboring country, thereby doubling in size. Farune still possessed nowhere near Dorssen’s might, but the annexation indicated it had territorial ambitions.

The country didn’t appear to have greatly expanded its military, but it had introduced the Hundred, which recruited a select, elite few without distinctions in status. The king of Dorssen had also received information indicating that powerful wizards of poor moral character were gathering in Farune after hearing that they could conduct unethical magic research there. Finally, there was the suppression of the stampede in Cadonia. Farune had apparently accomplished it with a small number of people, without the use of a large army. That showed that Farune’s power was not a straightforward affair. According to reports, the stampede had been relatively small, but even so, Farune’s strength was clearly nothing to scoff at.

TWO men stood before the king of Dorssen, bowing their heads. They were the first and second princes of Cadonia. They had fled Mos as soon as the stampede began, and when they had learned of the death of their father, the king, they’d immediately begun struggling over succession—in other words, they were irredeemable fools. It was that stupidity that had lost the royal family its internal support and allowed Farune to annex Cadonia in the first place.

If these two and the late king of Cadonia had been just a bit more sensible, they could easily have avoided their current predicament, the king of Dorssen thought.

The two princes gave an account of their hopeless situation and pled their case to the king of Dorssen. According to them, they had been unjustly banished from Cadonia; the annexation had been a Farunian invasion; their father had to have been killed by Farune, not monsters; Farune had caused the stampede; their younger sister, who was now queen of Cadonia, had conspired with Farune; and so on.
