A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Now I'm leaving the 1st Crown Territory to make a move...

"Huh..."

Ann was sighing in the carriage.

When I looked in the carriage, your father and mother were asleep.

I saw three of them at breakfast, and Ann said, "Why are you looking so sleepy?" When I heard it, "I got excited yesterday," Lorna replied. Both Cliff and Selina were smiling bitterly.

"... why are you so excited when you're just going to King's Capital?

Oh, was it because Mr. Takeo's food was so delicious?

Ann whines... but no one responds...

So I remembered that my parents had eaten my own pudding deliciously and I thought, "Humph."

------------------------

"Master, have you had lunch yet?

Gina next to Takeo asks.

"Hmm... Gina, that's the same question you asked earlier.

But let's wait a little longer, shall we?

"Ugh... because...

Yesterday's dinner was so delicious!

How delicious is my sandwich... I want to eat it fast!

Victor and Meyer also nod at Gina's words.

"Even if you expect so much...

It's usually a cutlet sandwich.

Takeo had to smile bitterly.

"With that said, Viscount Ashton hasn't said anything.

Meyer squeaks.

"Right.

about courtesy greetings in the morning and at the time of dissolution. You basically don't even come near me.

Well, suddenly I have trouble changing my attitude.

"... is that what it is?

"Come on? I think nobility is a lot of stubborn people though.

Instead, isn't Mr. Meyer looking at all kinds of nobles?

"... stubborn or poorly placed, flexible thinkers... that's a wide variety.

Meyer says as he thinks.

"Hmm... well, is that where it's not uniquely painted?

... Was Speaker Clark indeed a flexible thought for the price?

Takeo also says as he thinks.

"Yeah. That one's a good guy on the surface, but you're pretty sticky.

"I guess.

You were trying to keep our nostalgia from hurting our example gratuities to me.

Well, maybe I was trying to figure that out as a wax, too.

"Is it?

"Deep down, you could also take that the first thing you didn't say about wazza was that you minimized the resulting expense by making me say it later.

Mr. Meyer, as a matter of fact, what side business do the nobles of Wang Du do?

"... there should have been a lot of real estate and shipping and liquor stores.

"I see.

By the way, Victors, what is the demon kingdom like?

"Hmm... I thought it was a little different from the Kingdom of Azpur.

It is recognized and strong by His Majesty the Time who accompanies the Lord in the first place.

"Is it militarily?

"It's a lot of force, intelligence, and control.

And lord = you will have the title.

If you become vulnerable to it, you will be replaced by the strong.

Well, if the current principals become weaker, they hide and take the strongest in the same family. For generations, the same race has ruled the land.

"Oh, I see.

Is there a title around the king like the kingdom of Azpur?

"You're not there.

Only a title is one who is responsible for local autonomy, security and war.

There are royal armies around the king, but...

Those people are in charge of the governance of the country.

So nobility is located under the King's Army.

"I see.

You feel like you're both centrally sovereign and decentralized.

By the way, is there a tax or something from the lord toward the king's capital?

"It was roughly 30% of the harvest.

I've heard they're lower than the rest of the country.

The demon kingdom is vast, so you're securing our own food.

Well, some people like to do business, so they're free to do anything.

"A subtly strange nation... no, is the kingdom of Azpur weird enough from the Victors?

"Yes, I wonder.

I know you can be more liberal... but I recognize that if a nation is being formed, this is the easiest thing to do in this region.

"Hmm.

Everyone said it was good to be free, but in fact, what kind of organization was Victor in?

"In our case, there are about 10,000 beasts who transform from humans to wolves as leaders.

We all make one city together.

We have a ruling group that focuses on the Counts and a knighthood that uses its power when it changes into a wolf, as well as a clerical group that is good at chores, commerce and agriculture.

And 500 orgs under the Knights, 1300 goblins under the Clerks... 1000 and 50000 oaks to make up the city.

"Huh!?

Meyer is surprised.

"What's up? Lord Meyer."

Victor asks.

"Hey... wait a minute...

Why are those numbers... so many that the kingdom of Azpur can ravage at once?

"Yes.

But not that many can be put on the actual battlefield.

Auga breeds it for combat, but it's on the defense of the city, and goblins do field work, and oaks do field work and livestock.

"I don't know what to say... I can even make you work and eat... that's exactly livestock.

"Well... are they on the battlefield?

Meyer asks without being able to hold back the surprise.

"I won't let you out.

Well, you can put out an ogre, but it's a customary war, and...

Plus, I don't want goblins, oaks, etc. to fit together.

"Foot hands together..."

Meyer's surprise is ongoing.

"I see.

You're aiming to secure control through uniformity of soldiers.

Takeo nods.

"Huh? Lord Kitamizato, isn't it natural?

We'll watch the newcomers and be able to make the same move first though.

"... Mr. Meyer.

Victors are different from humans.

"I know that, though.

"Do soldiers in the Kingdom of Azpar train marches?

"Yes, it's the foundation in the foundation.

That's the first overall behavior you learn.

"Victors, aren't the Beasts the first to train you to line up while you run?

"Lord, do you understand?

"It would be a difference in basic performance.

Humans run and fall apart, and move slower than beastmen... so you have to learn from forcing them to walk.

In contrast, beasts have different basic performance, so it is normal to run for long periods of time.

If you have been running in Noyama since day to day, calling it hunting anyway, your ankles should be strong.

So I guess you don't have to fit from stride like a human.

You seem to think it would be nice if everyone could run side by side and at the same speed.

With that said, what do the Victors live in in a human form?

"Lord, you're almost right, but we'll train marches once and for all.

More from day to day, only the Knights run around Noyama.

I don't know what day it is. It was just a day of clerical work.

Besides, everyday life is more efficient when doing something because the human figure needs less food and the hands can be cleverly used.

Conversely, wolves are more efficient in combat because they can direct their motor abilities toward attack.

"I see.

... surely you didn't like your nephew who might be succeeding Victor?

"Yes."

"Do you think I'm going to set you up?

"Not so far away.

But I thought a year or two would stay the same.

If we are going to make a full-scale invasion, we need His Majesty the King's permission and the approval of the next nobility, as well as the submission of plans and judgments against the King's army.

"Really?

You have a procedure, don't you?

"Yes."

"Mr. Meyer.

The tactical considerations of the test platoon assume for the moment a full-scale invasion of Count Elvis' territory from the Demonic Kingdom.

"Ha!"

"Collect information on geography, past combat reports, surrounding aristocracy, etc.

"Okay.

We'll get started as soon as we get back to Wang Du.

Meyer nods.

Takeo and the others discussed the strategy, etc. until the lunch break.
