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

Cliff and Neil had tea in a slightly larger room in the inn.

Of course there are a few guards, but neither of them cares.

"Brother Cliff.

Earlier we were told that Takeo had found a new source, how was it?

"I thought Takeo was awesome again.

Cliff nods pleasantly.

"Ha, the Elvis family is going to prosper more and more.

"Totally... you want to hear how that business genius has grown.

"Would it be helpful to hear..."

Neil shrugs as he drops his gaze. Cliff is also in giving up mode saying "Wouldn't be helpful".

"So, I heard Amy met Alice earlier... but Brother Cliff called me or something.

"It's an extension of the side room story.

Viscount Ashton's granddaughter is my number one candidate... "

"You make Alice listen.

Well, I've been decided, so... Brother Cliff, you choose carefully.

The next king's daughter-in-law looks tough.

"Even Neil and William are in trouble, aren't they?

To the west, Neil, to the east, William would each become a general and create an immediate response system that would receive backup, backup, and replenishment while I move the center.

Besides, scouting and intelligence-gathering will be done in the Wang capital, but basically the facing aristocrats should have it.

Well, the demon kingdom isn't because intelligence reconnaissance itself is dangerous, but it won't be that hard because Counts Elvis and Godwin are focusing on border surveillance instead of being able to reconnaissance.

The United States of Wilip remains the status quo, but Neil will be receiving information about the Katlanda Empire from now on.

Be prepared because the burden will be considerable.

"If you don't think you can make a decision, I'll throw a round at Wang Du, so please, Brother Cliff.

Neil says pleasantly.

"Well, if things don't get worse, that's good too.

I don't know, because in today's aristocratic system, I can't help but be somewhat arbitrary. Maybe we need to be able to move our soldiers around successfully.

Cliff answers with a bitter smile.

"Did you hear anything from Takeo?

"Why not?

"No, because there are frequent stories of soldier interaction.

"Hmm... right.

Takeo will report back to his father in Wang Du for more information, but will he speak briefly?

Cliff explained to Neil what Takeo had reported.

"It seems certain that the Katlanda Empire is after something.

I heard Cliff talk. Neil says as he devises.

"That's right. But as Takeo put it, we'll have to commit ourselves to creating an unbeatable nation.

Therefore, I think that we need to think about how we can quickly increase the number of soldiers at the border.

"I know that's the basics..."

"You got something?

"No, I was listening to that story and I thought...

Perhaps we should invade the Wilip Union when the Katlanda Empire attacks the Wilip Union.

"Hmm... what are you gonna do?

"All I can imagine is that the hinterland will let the Katlanda Empire invade and take on the backbone of the Wilip Union. In the meantime we will occupy the area facing the sea.

Of course, the invasion speed is led by the Katlanda Empire.

"... I see you won't let them make salt.

"Yes. I was wondering if that would enable post-war exports.

"I see.

But you don't have enough troops to invade.

"Yes. Our country has only the strength to defend itself.

Do you think it's possible to increase the number of people across the West Side?

"If it's inadmissible and you say it, it's okay...

Actually, how much finances do you have?

"But for once, I really think it's worth considering.

"Right. Shall we all think about it in Wang Du?

Cliff also agrees with Neil's idea.

And when the door is knocked and Cliff responds, a civilian comes in.

"Both highnesses, I came to the report because I have a general idea of what's going on.

This clerk was like a deputy mayor at the top of the list of clerks overseeing this town sent by Wang Du.

"Thank you. So, what's it like?

Neil listens.

"Ha!

Two high oaks, 10 oaks and a Lizard Dragon are assembled at the edge of the forest.

"Lizard Dragon? Why are you here?

That's the southeast of the kingdom of Azpur, east of Temple Count territory and south of Godwin Count territory.

Is that high certainty?

Neil listens.

"I asked a soldier from Count Temple territory to confirm it, but I have no doubt about it.

"Hmm... almost certain...

How are they doing?

Cliff asks.

"Actually... it's not moving.

Earlier, I received my sixth report, but I haven't repositioned it.

"... why?... No, I don't want some place to get attacked, but... that's puzzling.

At least I think the orcs will look for the village... "

Neil conceives.

"What measures are you currently taking?

Cliff listens.

"We are currently continuing surveillance by half platoons.

The patrol platoon is just coming to this town, so I think we can handle it there for now, but we expect a struggle in relation to the presence of the Lizard Dragon.

First, we were supposed to send soldiers from this town to a nearby village to build an extraordinary defensive network.

I apologize to both Your Highnesses, but the soldiers in this town are paying for anything but soldiers of the investigative system.

We are currently requesting reinforcements from the military bureau of Wang Du.

Civilians answer with a difficult face.

"Got it.

Give all your strength to protect the neighboring villages.

We'll take care of it in case you come this way.

... because we can't move Takeo or Alice about the mayor on a boulder.

That's the only way to handle it.

Cliff sighs.

"My apologies, Your Highness.

I shouldn't have counted on the escorts of both Your Highnesses if I were you... "

A civilian bows his head deeply.

"I don't mind.

You wouldn't expect a high oak or a Lizard Dragon anywhere near a king's capital like this.

Rather, it's good that we're here.

Neil laughs bitterly.

"Both Your Highnesses, I really want to... thank you.

"Well, this town will be fine. Takeo and Alice are here.

Cliff laughs bitterly too.

"Is it the new Sir Kitamizato and the Fresh Red Palace?

Lord Kitamizato is the director of the Royal Institute, Lord Alice is the Elvis family warrant... and I can't even ask for it.

I hope neither of you feels bad... "

Civilians make troubled faces.

"Isn't there a problem?

They'll both be here later. You can explain it and convince them.

You're both smart, don't worry.

"Ha!"

Civilians bowed their heads deeply to Cliff and Neil.
