Those who cooperate with the kingdom's attackers are subject to the death penalty. The method is cruel because it is called burning.

Whoever was in command of the wagon we raided seems to have followed the enemy when they saw the Royal Palace collapse into fire. After the king's death, it seems a relatively minor measure...

"I cut off everyone's right hand. The incision was well cooked with pine light. Life will save you."

Looks like he pushed him into the luggage cage and sent him east.

Can you lose one hand and live and go... The laughter at that table must have been about fate.

It must be karma, but it must be a harsh sentence.

In a way, I guess it also has the purpose of showing off and preventing recidivism, but that seems a bit problematic.

The peasants and craftsmen said they sent them to the abandoned village.

At least we have food to eat, and if we open it, we can have our own farmland. I'm sure you'll encourage me.

As usual, Mr. Zairas came next to me as I waited for a wagon to go down the street at the table.

"You wouldn't look like a knight if you had one. It's better than that one-handed sword. And, uh, extra, but you want to use it?

An elaborate long sword and a silver pipe were placed in front of me.

I appreciate the long sword, but I've never used a pipe before. But if you're a bandit, it's going to be a painting even if you're puffing a thick pipe. And if you have to, it's going to sell high.

"Thank you. But there's a cigarette..."

A pong and a small leather bag were placed in front of me before I said it to the end.

Open the bag, smell the cunt, and you'll smell the cigarette, or the herb. Is this the cigarette in this world?

"You get quite a bit when you raid. If not, tell the Squad Leader. I'll make sure you get it first."

"Looks like a lot of guys use pipes. Your father was an enthusiast, but women have something to use. Why don't you give it to Marian too? I don't always use it. Sometimes."

That must have been pretty patient, huh?

I shoved a leather bag of cigarettes into the pipe I received and presented the rest to Marian.

"It just fits. Please use this."

"Is it good? There's one other person, but with this, you can enjoy it for a while."

Hopefully you'll be happy. I'll just enjoy this scent for a while. And if you don't light a fire, I'll hold it forever.

"It's time to figure out how to procure our goods. I just want the merchant to guess."

"Sure, we want to get food, booze, etc. steadily, but we're bandits, right?

"Do you want to raise future merchants? You want a poor, honest merchant."

When I leaked that whine, Mr. Lady opened his mouth, listening to us in silence.

"If you're a small businessman, I can guess. It's a trade that goes around the villages, but it also does business for us cats."

"That would be desirable for us, but we don't have the means to contact you."

I started talking when he laughed funny at my question.

They're circling the villages with their daughters and children in the back of one carriage. I don't have that many items, but if I ask, they'll get them right.

When the cats return to their hunting places, they have also brought large quantities of flour in their luggage.

"It's usually one, but if there's a lot of load, the kid carries the other one, the one who's 12 or 3 boys but can keep his parents to himself. You can tell immediately because you have a red flag on your luggage. If you can confirm it on the beacon platform, will I come out and talk to you?

"You want to wish. The question is what to buy, Princess, make a list. If you can, divide it into three categories based on it. There are three categories: what you need immediately, what you can wait for a little while, and finally what you want by the end of the season."

"Understood. We certainly don't need to put together what we're going to need. Besides, there will be high and low demands. Leave it to us."

"It's different from the demands, but I want to do something about this Ajito. The warehouse needs to be bigger, and we don't have enough room. Winter's gonna be tough like this."

"We all want to do something about that. Likewise, it would seem better to keep the guard post at the beacon station in the cabin. If the village had a pantry, they'd be relieved."

You nodded at my suggestion, so later Mr. Zairas must assign a detachment to proceed with the work and t twilight. The season has already changed into autumn. It's going to be winter if we don't get the job done early.

During the chat, if you ask about the climate around here, it seems to snow quite a bit in the winter.

I thought the streets would also be closed with snow, and they would carry their luggage in soli. They say a kind of small horse named Canattle pulls a sledge, but he says his neck is short and his hair is long, so he must be a pony kind of horse.

"You're sure there's not much traffic. We're going to be closed for a long time, too."

"So, what do we do in the winter?

I need some time to think about it.

There were about thirty of us in the spring, but the numbers are nearly tripling with slaves, prisoners caught in the war, and farmers who left the village to escape taxes.

Four units of eight per detachment participate in the raid in the streets. One detachment on the lookout and one detachment on the defense of the abandoned village will have about forty armed personnel. Fifteen of the rest are artisans and nearly forty peasants.

The defense of the abandoned village is one detachment, but a peasant and a detachment of stone bowmen are made, because Dwarves are a species like born warriors. There seems to be no defense problem.

"You want to plant crops in an open field next year. Then I worry about the beasts coming from the mountains."

"You mean the fence...... You will also need to defend the village. But isn't that something we can do with the abandoned villagers?

"We will further expand this Azito. Mountain roads to the peak fire platform are also poorly scaffolded, and we would like to develop trails to near the exit of the cliff on the street."

"Sure, you had a guy who fell and got hurt when you went out to raid. Maintenance will be necessary in a way that is invisible from the streets."

If you make your way, you'll have to think about raiding from the other side. The number of stone bows has exceeded 20, but it is likely that it will need to be increased further. Mountain roads to abandoned villages are better than beast roads, but you should be able to cut out the trees around you in a position where Rabba can pass, so that you can go back and forth to this Azit.

When that happens, does winter work mean building roads and improving defense facilities?

This garrison will have to be expanded and resized from Azit to the fort.

You need a simple drawing.

"I'll take a few days and draw some drawings. Let's use that as a basis for winter work."

Everyone nodded at my words.

"Do banters have anything they want?

"Is it me? Nothing in particular......, yes! Cigarette, please."

Looks like Mr. Zairas is listening to everyone's hopes.

When I asked him if he had that much money, he gave it away from the nobles and merchants who were in the carriage at the time of the raid.

He said that slaves and nobles fleeing to other countries are not busy, but that's really banditry. Sure, we need food, booze, etc. If you think it's income from the bastards, don't feel so guilty.

"I came into contact with an example merchant. In the meantime, we decided to secure food, but cigarettes are in it too. One bag would give it away."

"Then do you have the tools to see far away? It's going to help if you get a few of them."

The telescope would not start without transparent glass manufacturing and polishing techniques……

The answer to my question taught me that the blind have the glass to see. It seems that the method of use has not yet developed up to the telescope.

Then why don't you make it?

It would be nice to combine convex lenses for farsightedness with concave lenses for myopia, but it would be nice to have large lenses for objective lenses. Short-eye lenses for eyepieces would be good for smaller, shorter focal lengths. Would you like me to make some different types and combine them?

"It's an unusual request, but there's nothing I can't do. It'll probably take about a month, but what are you going to make?

"It's a little workmanship. But if you can, you can use it conveniently."

It will be Galileo-style to make it easy to see a positive image, but the view range is narrow and the magnification is small. But I guess it would be convenient to use it if I were to monitor it on a beacon platform.

After a few days, I can see the bottom view of the fort. It's a simple plan and bird 's-eye view, but if you had a schematic of what you want to make, it wouldn't be that difficult.

Just widen the square a little, build a fence with piles, and create a ramp to the mountain path to the abandoned village.

If it's on fire, it's going to burn right away, but there's a fountain, so you can turn it off with a little water.

If it is Isa, you can escape to the abandoned village.

If you spread those drawings onto the table, they won't come out of everyone soon.

If I had a good reason, I wouldn't be shy about changing it, but sometime the drawings moved in front of the princess from before me and the princess started reworking herself.

"Is this what this is?

"I'd like to make this entrance not left or right open, but jump-up. So, you can block the path that leads from the cliff. It's surrounded by woods, so you can't put in a big army at once."

"The western fence should stretch to the slope to the valley. You can make the square bigger, and you can make one more cabin in the future."

The road to the Peak Fire Station is likely to be built anew by branching the mountain road to the abandoned village. The idea is to hide the existence of the flaming platform wherever possible.

"Okay. Based on this, we'll start work tomorrow. When the most prey comes, we'll do our job."

Everyone's nodding at Mr. Zairas' instructions like that, right? I'll have to help you, too, but I don't have the strength.

Still, everyone is looking at the drawings and thinking about where to start.

I wonder if there's a tsuruhashi or a scoop? If we're going to build a fence, we're going to have to dig a hole where we can put the whole thing in.
