Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

... that night.

As the Book of Darkness descended, the enemy soldiers paused the battle and went back to their formation.

"Mr. Dida! A meal."

After the captain gave the crew a break, I was at my desk staring at the map.

Yeah, but I was worried that it wasn't, and I was just thinking about the war station by writing a lot on that map and putting pawns on it.

"Mr. Dida, I'll leave your meal here. Eat before it gets cold."

"Before it cools... nothing cools to preserved food..."

That's what I said and raised my gaze. Ahead, it seemed like a warm meal put on a basin.

This time the guard only brings hard tucks and bottled preserved food.

They are one of the things the princess has made her invent more as part of securing reserves than before.

Though I was eating them day after day this time, taking the effort reduction and haste...

"... who the hell made it? That's gonna be quite a lot."

"I'm a female aspirant."

"Oh well... What about the ingredients? Did you pay them right?

"You think it's unnecessary? I thought Iris would do something about it later, trying to run out of stockpiles. Because if there was one, I wouldn't be starving. And now he wants us to help him get rid of his enemies."

"Different."

I start eating when I put a basin on the desk I was facing earlier.

"Uh... don't stain your stomach. This would be great if it was booze."

"... don't be unscrupulous"

The crew who brought the meal laughed like trouble.

"Why don't you ask the princess..."

"Uh... Mr. Dida, that's a little..."

To my whining, I can see and wolf.

Or it was funny, and I laughed a lot.

"It's a joke.... but seriously... it's time for backup."

…… Just us, how many days will we keep? "

"I don't know. We have to do something."

My word sounds like a lot of throw.

"They're having fun. Hope you stay alert."

But that's not necessarily because I gave up.

I'm just trying to keep the anger that builds up in me off the table.

"He said the enemy is having fun... based on what?

"This is the only difference in power, right? You should come and slap me at once, without a chimatima attack"

"That's because the captain uses the details..."

"Abo. Too little for that. They can't help but have fun with us scratching our feet. Or... do you want to keep people warm to blame for the capital?"

Licked...... I mean, that's what I'm talking about.

That's why I was angry.

I've been thinking about how I can outrun my enemies... and defeat them so that they will never tread on the land of the Duke of Almeria again.

... though, the difference in power is still not something that can be easily masked.

"... Speaking of which, Mr. Dida. He said he had something that the aspirants asked for."

"Oh, seriously!?

Scratch the last bite and I'll pop out.

Long barricades in wooden vertical, with several thick strings and many large stones.

They were in line.

"Ooh! You've often made it in this short time. Thank you so much."

"I mean fine. If you could help me with this, so."

The faces of the city look proud.

"... hey. Are you sure about that? We can't guarantee security from here on out. Of course, I will do everything in my power to protect the city... but I don't know what will happen. There could be flow arrows, and there could be enemies breaking in from somewhere, right?

"Still, this is our city."

I get more and more confused by them who say with their breasts up.

"This place is our pride. It's our precious place. It's been easier to live with a young lady since she became a lord lately... I can't imagine leaving."

"When the fake Bordic family had a problem before, we knew the lady had come to the land herself and moved to solve it. The lady who loves and has mercy on this land, she sends you to protect this place even now, but she can't face you if she runs away, can she?

"If I had that one, I'd be fine. 'Cause you just have to trust me... that's what I'm gonna think. So what we need to do now is do everything we can to protect this place, right?

I laughed at their words.

Once upon a time... I lived in this city until the princess helped me.

Then, how many years.

The princess took the place of lord, and the territory... this city has changed a lot.

The streets, the institutions.

But apparently, that wasn't all.

People... the shape of people's thoughts also seemed different.

"Really... by the way, ladies aren't lords, are they? It's only proxy, proxy."

"Oh... is that true?"

"So one day you'll be gone from the top?

Everyone is anxious and dissatisfied with my scrutiny.

As such, I laughed from the bottom of my heart.

... they liked me a lot.

"Ugh... I'm sorry, can I ask everyone? Put this high shield in front of each front line. Then, the stones are placed in each squad"

"What about this string?

One of them questioned my request while the aspiring face nodded.

"The strings are stones and sets. Used to throw at enemies"

"Heh..."

"Well, I asked for it."

"" "Ooh" "

"Ah... and is there a guy in here who lives there and there?

"It's not home, but we're the ones using it?

"Well, come on... I need a favor"

Speak to them who are named, whispering the favor.

"Beh, it's nothing good..."

I smiled at them while I was confused.

"Thank you. It might hurt, but I'm gonna have to ask the lady to pay for the repair."

Then after watching them work for a while, I go back to my seat.

"How do you fight?

I was watching on the road, the guy who carried the meal asked.

"... harass him. grandiose."

Look at my laugh, the crew's a little behind.

Were you so stripped of your fighting spirit...?

Though I questioned him, he just left when he greeted him before asking.

... and the day after that, I had been calling the captains of each squad before the sun rose.

"The wooden shields that aspiring people made yesterday have been placed all over the place."

"Ha... But with a wooden shield, what the hell do you do?

Wooden shields, etc., would soon be knocked down with a sword......

Those who voiced such doubts and those who did not had them on their faces.

"I'll just leave that. … First, don't let the enemy near you"

"Won't you let me near you?

"That's right. Put a squad on standby at that house and that upper floor. Don't hesitate to leave your bow through the window."

"Oh, I see..."

The house I pointed to is a house facing the harbor.

The three-story building had several windows facing the harbor.

"We're not knights. I can't believe you're square according to chivalry, eat shit.... We can protect Mon, if we can protect him.... don't you?

Nobody opens their mouths to my inquiry.

But they were all showing their determination in their eyes.

"For that reason, it's a measure. From now on, until reinforcements arrive, focus only on not having your swords crossed as directly as possible and cutting enemy forces as much as possible"

"" "Yes" "

When the sun rose, there was movement in the enemy soldiers.

As well as until yesterday, they are breaking up with some squads and trying to break into the whole city.

The squad is fired upon by the crew who were holding back in the building.

Arrows shot from above accelerated and fell according to gravity.

Several arrows fall, relentlessly attacking enemy soldiers.

"A bow and arrow! Where are the enemies!

"Oh, there!

"Up there! Protect yourself with a shield!

Lift the shield, still marching towards them, throwing stones with a stone thrower than in the rear.

As with the arrows, they could not support the heavy stones to which gravity had been added, and some enemy soldiers blew up.

At the same time, they point their shields up and shoot arrows from the ground as well.

Bow and arrow from both directions. And on the stone, an enemy formation was disturbed.

"That's good. Do it.... but make sure everyone doesn't come forward."

Copy that, sir.

I get reports from each squad and think of each situation in my head.

And every time, if a correction was necessary, additional instructions were given.
