A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 570: Nonsense 13: Is it bad luck or bad luck?
Collard-Bannet-Mard-Robelly is an emerging associate baron.
A newly recognized associate baron, he is the current owner of the birth of the Associate Baron of Robery.But the Baron has no territory, no people, no ministers.
I have had soldiers who have been with me since I was a knight, but not so many of them.None of my men can call themselves skilled or sharp, and Collard only has the “minimal” skill of giving orders and doing the right thing.
However, Collard was not so pessimistic about his situation as to lament that he had not done all this.
This is because, although we have truly survived all kinds of hardships, very few of us have come from a generation of soldiers to knights, from knights to knights, from knights to quasi-bars.
Collard has made every effort to match his current position.I have trained myself, learned and practiced my knowledge, survived dodging through a number of dead lines, dived, and sometimes rolled.
Of course, Collard thinks there will be quite a few who are doing something similar to themselves.Those who have come to the position of knighthood from empty-handed fists have some difficulty and have made a commensurate effort.
From time to time, some climb to knights with just superior talent, but that may be the exception.In a country called Mataroi, the “basic upper limit”, which can be ascended by a generation, is the knight, and those who can go from there to the quasi-bar need to have some outstanding merit or ability.
In that regard, Collard did not have outstanding achievements or abilities.Some of the knights are stronger than Collard, and many are better in merit.
However, among the many knights in the "total power”, few are better than Collard.
Strength, intelligence, group leadership, negotiation, practical skills, connections with others, including power holders, etc.
By analogy, if there were ten subjects, Collard would score about 65 to 75 points in all subjects.Collard sometimes loses in one subject, but the total score is better than the others - such a person.
In addition, Collard had good luck.
Originally from Rovama, the capital of the King, the family is a small merchant trio.Although such a born Collard, being born with magic was the first lucky thing in my life.
Compared to a good wizard, the magic is tiny, but it exists to the extent of a common wizard.There was no talent for attribute magic, but even if you can use the Auxiliary Magic "Enhancement", you can say that you are blessed compared to ordinary people.
Collard entered the King's army because he had no place at home.The eldest son succeeded in the household business, and the second son remained as his assistant, and when the eldest son welcomed his wife and had a child, Collard left his parents' house.
I think that's a good way to take advantage of the "reinforcement", and I'm actually climbing up to the Baron.Now it's just a joke, but sometimes I wonder if I should laugh bitterly or despair of being defenceless when I was young.
The second lucky thing in my life would have been to be Natalia's Servant in the 3rd Magic Corps I was assigned to.
The family pattern of his family was good at dealing with others, he was bright in numbers and counting, and he was good at gathering information. Moreover, since he was from the King's capital, Collard, who was familiar with the King's army, was heavily used by Natalia, who became the captain of the Third Magic Team at a young age.
--At the same time, I saw a lot of “hell.”
Still, Collard, who had emerged as a squire, was classified as a knight, and began to leave the king's army and follow his own path.While selling his face to various nobles, he travels around Mataroi to maintain security by killing monsters and capturing bandits, which is an achievement.
The knight's official status, the skill he developed in the Third Magic Team, and his eye-catching ability to spot and sell “where he thinks he needs his power."Nobles everywhere gradually remembered their faces and names, and more and more were asked to help them by naming them.
And the third luck - or bad luck - in life would have been “encountering” Reurus.
This is the “exception in exception," Collard knows, from civilians to knights to adventurers to quasi-bars.He accompanied the request received by Reurus to another country, surveyed the request in hiding, and by the accumulation of achievements to date he became a baron.
There is so much danger, and it is because of the accumulation of hitherto, I am lucky to have been recommended by the Baroness as a result of taking amateurs and traveling around other countries for a little over two months.
However, there are some unfortunate parts.
It is still good to be Natalia's assistant, who gained the status of a baron as a former boss who couldn't get his head up.I gave up a long time ago.
It is still good that I contracted to develop Baron Amendura's territory and build the town of Speranza.In the future, the neighboring land will be transferred from Natalia and become a “pre-practice” to entertain the village.
The exception to this exception - Reurus somehow lifts himself up and looks like he's nostalgic - is still something for Collard.While I taught swordsmanship, every time I understood what I was doing, I felt pain in my stomach, but it was still good.
The problem is that Reus went to King's Landing and Natalia followed him.
Originally working as the site manager of the development, Collard's absence of Reurus meant that Eliza and the others were absent, reducing the strength of the town of Speranza.
With 35 dwarves and many adventurers selected as workers from the abandoned city of Laval, it would be enough combat power.The town of Speranza is already surrounded by earthen walls and has an empty moat so it is not easy to fall.
Still, there are places that can't be protected because there are only about 100 fighters in total, but in that case, Collard saw that the planned residential area of Natalia in the center of the town - now in a place like a fortress with an empty moat - would be able to withstand three times the number of opponents.
If only Collard knew all the powerful, such as Reurus, Natalia, and Zilba.
No Reurus, no Natalia, no Gilba.With many dwarfs, some enemies will lower them, but it will be difficult to defeat them if advanced monsters attack them.
Such warlike anxiety is one thing.The next point is that Collard has become responsible in a real sense, as long as Natalia is in King's Landing, irrespective of the title.
And finally...
"Ahhhhh... I'm so tired..."
Collard lays on his bunk in a makeshift dwelling assigned to him.
Dwarf's wooden beds around the town of Speranza are comfortable to sleep on, and if he cares, he sleeps, but Collard disciplines himself to think.
"We need to check the materials brought in later today... what was the status of the food stockpile... and check the progress of the dwarves... Speaking of which, we need to put together a plan for the leader's equipment..."
Collard gathers his thoughts on each matter of concern while murmuring and murmuring.
"I mean, it was a problem before the Army's equipment... because I was originally an adventurer, the skill level was fragmented, and the weapon I used was also fragmented... but I had the courage to save the monster..."
The most important of these concerns relate to the formation of the leadership, which was handed over by Natalia.
Collard ordered me to move as a commander, but the development of the town of Speranza is also proceeding in parallel, so I will not make any progress at all.Also, some of the adventurers in the abandoned city of Laval are having trouble organizing themselves as a leader.
The adventurer is not so strong except for exceptions like Reurus.Weapons and armor acquired in the Waste City are known to be expensive, most of the way to fight is classy, and only a handful of people can use magic.
From Collard's point of view, the adventurers were only fighting monsters and had the courage to fight, and they knew a little about how to fight.Therefore, it is “worse in nature than recruits".
Originally, adventurers - or, to be precise, people living in abandoned cities - have an exclusive nature and are gentle to their families but harsh to outsiders.They, from their point of view, are more extraneous than Collard.
What would happen if such a leftover (Collard) stood up and took command of the town and acted as the leader of the army?
Collard has been plowing fields together, buying nightmares, and doing various chores, so he's getting over it.However, it seems that there is a ditch in the fundamental part, and in the current situation, it is unlikely that even if we organize a leader, we can save each other's lives.
In addition, I thought it would be better for the adventurers to put their people - Reurus - in the Commander's seat.It is easy for Collard to perceive the air, even though he has nothing to say.
--My stomach was screaming at the air, but it was a secret that I was getting over my face like a mask.
In that sense, I even thought it would be better to train recruits from scratch to be part of the leadership.It's easier to teach adventurers how to fight than to "correct” them.
However, it is not a good idea to abandon an armed force other than the military, rather than become an official town in official territory instead of a waste city.It is also necessary to accept the leadership in the working sense of those who have been adventurers before.
For the time being, the development of Baron Amendura's territory is unlikely to cause a rash at work, but it is not suitable for anyone but to fight - "that's all we can do”.
"If you want to think about the future, have the Captain focus on educating the children of the territory... but will there still be any rashes?But the Regiment can only have the right number of troops to organize with territorial revenues... and I think we should put it together to report to the Captain later. "
If you narrow your mind down to one thing, you can derive from it and create new jobs.Does Collard's character and abilities make it so, or does the developing town of Speranza still make it so?
"If we let the Adventurers admit that they beat each other without weapons... will we admit it?I need you to convince me when Reurus comes back... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... "
Collard rises from his bedside as he endures a problem that is about to split.Then he exhaled a deep sigh of emotion from the bottom of his heart.
"Hah... I want a peaceful home... or first I want a decent home for myself..."
The development of Baron Amondola's territory is progressing better than planned, but when will my marriage be?
With that in mind, Collard sighed again.
