A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 233: About this raid on goblins, etc. 1.
"And you're a little out of line.
"Oh. But developments within the realm are also important.
Count Godwin nods.
"Yes. I just have to figure out a good way to do it with each.
Grandpa Elvis and Frederick nod at Takeo's words.
"Next, then, is the raid of goblins, etc. between...
They're reading the report, though?
"Yeah, we're getting reports on our way here.
I just want to hear from Grandpa, Alice, and Takeo because it's a simple thing.
"I get it... right, from what...
Mia, come on out.
"Yes."
Mia leaves Takeo's chest pocket and goes down to the desk in front of everyone.
Look at Mia. Count Godwin and Jesse solidify.
"" Fairy!?
"Lord, it's a long way to go to introduce me.
I almost slept.
Mia comes to protest Takeo.
"" Lord!?
Again, the two are surprised.
"Ha, that took a hard time.
"Count, I'm back.
"Um, Mia, welcome back.
"Nice to meet you, Mia, one of the men of the Lord Takeo.
Mia greets the Counts of Godwin.
"Ah... huh?... Oh, it's Godwin.
"Alice's sister's... it's Jesse.
The two greet each other with surprise.
"You're done greeting me.
Mia, you can come over and eat my treats.
This includes things that Leila and the others didn't say directly.
"Uhm."
"Yes."
The two replied, and the faces of the Elvis family nodded.
Mia starts eating Momoku as she sits down a treat in front of Takeo.
"Now, I don't know exactly what their intentions are, but exhaustion of the Elvis family is considered an end.
"Are you exhausted? You don't think I targeted Leila and the others?
Both Count Godwin and Jesse had been told by Alice that Takeo did not know the identity of the three Leilas, and that he was trying not to touch them very much, but Count Godwin wanted to hear it nonetheless.
"The cut may be true, but the fact that we are suddenly raiding the city where the Count's residence, the heart of Count Elvis' territory, is located.
Additionally, only a number below the resident strength shall be put in.
... If you think the goal is to reduce the number of soldiers here, well, you understand.
"What lies ahead... don't worry.
Count Godwin worries about "Mmm".
"We'll discuss that later.
Shall we talk about it in chronological order...
Two days ago at dawn... between the praise section bell and the one o'clock section bell, right?
A soldier spots a group of goblins about 10 km from the castle gate.
Everyone snorts.
"The breakdown of this population is Goblin 350, Auga 50.
I assume the assembly method is a bulk convocation by metastatic magic.
"" Ha!?
The Counts of Godwin are astonished.
To his surprise, Takeo turns to Count Godwin.
"... is that true? Metastatic magic... does it exist?
"In the first place, we are taking a way that there is no clapping at a time when there is no sighting of anything beforehand from nearby villages and towns to summon that many.
That's where the highly probable information came in: metastatic magic, so as we Elvis family, we thought it could be.
"... um... right.
Everyone nods at the grunt of Count Godwin.
"You keep talking.
A report enters the Elvis residence around the bell of the 1 o'clock section.
The castle gate is scheduled to arrive around the bell of the 3 o'clock division, and you've been briefed by the Knights Commander and the Soldiers Commander that there will be a raid.
"Um, that's what happened.
Grandpa Elvis nods.
"So the story came around to me, so I made one suggestion, and it will be accepted.
"What suggestions did you make?
Jesse asks.
"Er, Takeo-sama's suggestion was to wait in a semi-oval shape like a plate, right?
Alice tells me as she remembers.
"Right. We proposed formations in which 100 people would be placed in the center, 200 on the left wing and 200 on the right wing to receive goblins, etc.
Takeo explains as he writes in the notes that were around there.
"Take it... shouldn't we thicken the center?
The center, which would even confront the enemy the most in a raid, should be thicker... "
"In the center, me and Miss Alice went in.
"Oh, I see. Then...
What... wait... how can you convert with Alice and Mr. Takeo for more than 100 soldiers?
Count Godwin nods at Jesse's inquiry, but the Elvis family faces are grinning bitterly.
"Me and Miss Alice were doing a massive exercise on the soldiers' opponents beforehand.
Um... vs. about 150 people?
"180 people.
"."
Count Godwin and Jesse are frightened.
"Er... it goes on.
After forming, when I formed 50 meters from the center and the enemy came to a position about 550 meters from me, I started firing.
"Can Takeo use magic?
"Yes. My magic is small, so I can only use elementary magic.
You made my own magic weapon to deal with.
"Master Takeo doesn't have much magic, but he doesn't reduce it, so he can use as much as he wants.
Alice provides a supplementary explanation.
"You are... but 550m is broken.
"Oh, you've never heard of 550m shelling.
It's normal to start a shelling battle in about 200m when it comes to the feeling of combat so far.
"That's what Alan and the others told me...
I did hit it at 550m, but the hit accuracy is poor, so you actually used it for about 200m.
Still, it won't hit unless it's targeted... so I think you still need training to be sure of accuracy.
"I see."
The Counts of Godwin snorted.
