Bandit, Be Ambitious! To Accomplish Kingdom Revival!

Silence flowed through the hall.

You couldn't imagine calling yourself a tens of thousands of refugees.

But that number comes with a pillow saying at least. No wonder it's over 100,000 if it's a lot.

"I can't stop you..."

"It's going to be a Kingdom-like population. There's no place like that in Crabble!

"Neither in Torresti nor in Sylvania. But……………"

Indicate a corner of the expanded map with your fingers.

"Now, we're busy with sand gold mining!

"It's been over a year already. Whether we can mine like last year this year...... Next year, it will be almost mined out."

"Sand gold seems to be thinly and widely distributed. Sure, I'm not thinking about the future."

"In the future, it will be a pioneering village. I think it is possible to create an urban state if the lines of the borders of the three kingdoms are also indeterminate."

You can relocate the main mountain of the Order. If we suppress the territory of the Order to about 10 km square, the impact on our kingdom will be small.

"I don't think it's a very good place, but I'm sure there's no other vacant land. Besides, that's fine if you don't have to. We just have to think about preparation."

"That said, food seems to need to be prepared early. We'll have to be ready in conjunction with the construction materials."

It will be quite a lot, but you should take advantage of the empty house in the King's Capital. Mr. Zairas told me that the old aristocratic mansion remained.

"It's the last line of defense. It would be called a fence connecting some of the fortifications. But the distance is long and not very effective."

"There are as many ways to temporarily stop the enemy. The point is, you just have to avoid a cavalry assault. The foot soldiers are not walking so fast. If the distance traveled during an attack is long, you will be tired and out of battle."

If there are no trees to harvest, you can dig an empty moat and build a base with that soil.

You will have to release your weapon once to get over it even at a height of about 1 m. If there is an empty moat before that, the substantial height exceeds 2 m. Then it would be a hard task to cross if you didn't prepare the hashigo.

Behind that, if you create a simple defense, you must be able to stop your opponent with a bow.

The problem is the power ratio. In some cases, if you conquer three kingdoms, you won't invade them with more than five battalions.

It's a wasteland battle that doesn't have mountains on all three sides, like the Kingdom of Sylvania, so it's easy to imagine the power ratio separating wins and losses.

"O'Brie tells me that there are soldiers in the army of the Kingdom of Sylvania who call themselves militias. If you ask me, they're arming the people and acting as a guard for the defense and the attacking army, but I feel like they're right for a wide area defense mission like this one. I don't know. Can you raise a militia in our kingdom?

I see, this is the purpose of the visit to Fort Aldes.

A proper development of the militia organisation would allow it to have some fighting power. I'm pretty sure we were helped, too.

But it's a war. You won't be able to exchange your life in the White Soldier War. You should train as an archer.

To do so…….

"At least you don't want the White Soldier War. Be aware of that in advance. The cost of equipping one militia would be about five silver coins. A platoon also needs two or three regular soldiers. In the kingdom of Sylvania, while regrouping the militia of the Knights, we are now creating another kind of soldier."

Saying so, I went to Mr. Bynum and the others to explain the militia and the Tundan soldiers.

Mr. Bynum listens jizzily and Mr. O'Brie listens as he takes notes.

"The Sylvanian army will be horseback riding units and heavy-duty infantry, as well as mobile infantry. Are there other militias that protect Tunda soldiers and towns that can respond immediately if necessary………"

"Soldiers Tunda is thinking about two squadrons. I guess all the militias together would make two battalions, but the basics are the organization that defends the towns and villages you live in. I feel like a vigilante."

"It doesn't seem like a story that we can't do in Sylvania. O'Brie, you're looking at the militia, too. They could have used it?

"I was struggling as a regular army reinforcement. Some of them participate in enemy interceptions just like the regular army."

I think jizzily of your daughter's words.

It would be difficult to decide whether a militia is needed in a stable kingdom of governance. To tell the people to carry weapons can also, on the contrary, provoke rebellion.

Even the Krabble kingdom, which looks like a stable kingdom from the side, can't say enough that there are no forces opposed to the kingdom.

"I envy Sylvania. So even the people who suffered from oppression were on their side."

"Lord Banter, there was another unit, wasn't there?

Smile and Mr. O'Brie looks at me. Mr. Bynum is looking at me with that word. The problem was getting used to wearing black clothes.

"Sure, there are other troops, but I find it difficult to simulate them in the Kingdom of Crabble. It's a mountain hunter and a ninja unit where I say in my country. Mountain hunters are troops specialized in fighting in the mountains. Ninja Squad is a unit specialized in enemy intelligence and sabotage."

"The opening of the northern fort and the king's capital is the work of the Ninja unit... I also feel that if we surround the three sides with mountains, we can see that it is a unit specialized in mountain warfare. So you know more about Warram and Tornia than we do?

"Those in the Kingdom of Tornia will be down Mandale by the end of the year. So there is no invasion this year. We are infiltrating quite a few people to purchase information for next year. As for Warram, the intrusion investigation has not progressed because this is exactly the case. We know that two battalions have been reduced to squadrons asking about the situation on the west street."

I can't give you much detail because you're a hiding unit for once. You should let me know because Mr. O'Brie would know a little bit about the inside.

If you keep answering the kind of questions that put in Mr. Bynum's exploration, cold sweat will come through here, too.

He's not just here to talk to the militia, he's here to see how far we know about the situation in the surrounding countries.

A long story came to a close, and the wine cup was carried again.

Take a breath of relief and drink wine. Fatigue is more than fatigue.

"With Lord Banter, Sylvania would be able to protect him. But Torresty is powerless. We must join forces."

"What do you think? You want me to try and create a coalition of three countries out of the blue?

"That's an interesting idea. Specifically?

Take out your notebook and start explaining briefly.

It is fundamental to send two squadrons from each kingdom to prepare them as an immediate unit.

Travel in a wagon from moving quickly. Become a soldier equipped with two squadron archers, two squadron spear soldiers, and a long sword.

"Either that or it's going to take the form of reinforcements that can try to intervene quickly. Without walking, it can be put on the front at more than three times the normal speed. Let's talk to Torresti, too, along with the militia story. You can manage militia training, can't you?

"Two detachments will do."

With a satisfied look at my words, I drank the rest of the wine.

We're in the middle of training, but we can handle a heavy infantry if we train the militia. We have to get the troops out of the people packing in the king's capital. This has to be coordinated with Mr. Zairas.

I stayed at Fort Aldes for about two days and Mr. Bynum and the others left.

He will tell the king about his new strength and report back to you later on how Sadie is doing well.

It's still far from spring, while we're stuck in Fort Aldes, we start improving our optical communications.

It's the same way to trap a light sphere in a barrel of metal and send light in one direction, but given the battle ahead, it's difficult to have a short communication distance. Close proximity would be good, but given the communication between the bases, we have to create a relay station in between.

Possible solutions are ways to strengthen the light source and to focus the diffusing light.

When I enlarged the cylinder to put in the light sphere and forced three light spheres into it, I looked at it and it turned into a large one light sphere. Using this, I can communicate with the guard table with considerable accuracy by trying direct communication during the day. Since the identification of the communication text is about 80%, it will be communicated accurately if contacted about three times.

I'll try focusing next. Create a hemispheric mirror and place the photosphere in the focal area. It's supposed to be a magnifying mirror, but it's hard to make such a mirror. If I had asked Mr. Rieddus, he would have made it by tapping on the silver plate.

When I tried it quickly, communication with the watchtower improved considerably. I don't know if the intensity of the light source has increased or if the light has focused.

Sending long sentences doesn't produce so much misidentification, but the numbers are a problem.

Finally, try to provide a large convex lens in the cylinder. If you focus the mirror on the focal length of the convex lens, it should theoretically be parallel light......

If you try the test, this time there will be no misidentification at all. I guess that means that the focus of light went somewhat well.

"You can't use it securely if this is it. You can't move and use it."

"I'm going to use it to communicate between the forts. At night, you'll be able to get to the north fort."

Look at the optical communicator mounted on the fort's watchtower while holding the pipe with Mr. Rieddus. A tea bottle popped up in a small tar, but the lens is attached to the tea bottle. A shutter made of thin iron plate is attached to the opening, and the shutter can be opened and closed by lever operation to send light signals.

I made it sturdy so I can finally move it by myself, but there seems to be no problem because the shutter operation does not change the direction of sending light.

"Five by early summer would be good. Use two pieces of silver, but it won't be a problem."

"Can't we make it six? You'd better have more."

You didn't double the distance you could communicate.

Still, there will be no problem with communication between the forts.
