Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 62. Variation (2)

That night.

Emergency meetings were convened in the Natural Conference Room.

There were seven attendees: Ferda and Silvan, Isha, Robert, Shantam and Tervand, and finally Radina.

But is it because the time is too late?

Radina's head flutters like a watered doll. Soon, I fell asleep in my real life. Looking at this, Ferda stood up straight away, smiling.

“Looks like everyone's here. Let's get started. ”

Ferda unfolds the map.

It was a map of all the erl's lands. He picks up a thin baton and taps the map.

“As I said before, fruits fall from the sky. ”

I was never going to tell you this.

It was rather annoying to explain.

But the second disaster is also a real disaster. Caution is absolutely forbidden. So, we packaged the disaster-related information as the records of the Ancients who obtained it in the tree, and we explained it roughly.

“That's why we deployed troops to cities and villages, not just by defending our borders. Tervand.”

“Yes, Ferda. ”

“Report the deployment of troops. ”

“I understand.”

Tervand, the summoned, rises quickly.

In the middle of everyone's attention, his description begins.

“Currently, there are more than 300 inhabitants in the erl, including the metropolitan area. And the army under the king totals 18,000. So we have seven hundred troops stationed in each area. ”

In summary, the servants of the realm protect each town or city.

Then Tervand looks back at Robert and says,

“With the prince's permission, I've also deployed fifty human soldiers to each of my villages. Ah, we'll be seeking additional cooperation from Elven Spirits as well. ”

Seven hundred undead guarding the village.

The answer is simple, if you ask me why I'm deploying human soldiers. It was because he needed someone to light the torn acacia right away. The reason for seeking cooperation from the spirits was as above.

“Finally, Mullen will have an additional 2,000 undead stationed in Mullen, and I will also be welcoming enemies to Mullen. ”

The golden glare flashes cold.

It's like I'm ready to fight anytime.

Thereafter, Tervand said he plans to divide the remaining two thousand undead into half and encamp near the mainland and border respectively. The reason we were stationed at the border was to protect a tribe of deserts to come soon.

“Then I want to hear about the next evacuation. ”

After Tervand's report.

Ferda's gaze turned to Robert.

Robert replies as if he was waiting.

“Mullen's fine. I've been trained to evacuate regularly, so most of them will be at the shelter at the latest half the day. ”

“Then how long will it take for the other cities to evacuate? ”

“Two days is enough. The only problem is the villages outside the territory. It's the middle of the harvest season, so I'm wondering if we should just follow the evacuation order. ”

Robert's face darkens.

Ferda was different. He mutters with a expressionless face.

“Leave it alone. If they want to die, they'll do it themselves. ”

He warned me it was dangerous. But if we ignore the warnings, do we really need to save them? Rather, isn't it consuming unnecessary energy to try to save them?

Ferda thought so.

Is that why? A cold answer came out naturally.

“We can't afford to worry about them. ”

Robert's face hardens momentarily. But for a moment, Robert struggled to add a smile, as if to when.

“They are my people, after all. So leave this to me for now. I'll release the troops and try to induce the evacuation as much as possible. ”

After returning, Ferda frowns slightly.

I've felt it before, but Robert has a weak mind. Especially when it comes to working with people. Ferda then insisted on a bit of a hard pitch.

“We have only ten days. Since then, I won't accept any outside refugees. You know why, don't you? ”

“· · · · · · · Yes. Said it was to prevent the infected from coming in. ”

Robert nods heavily.

An infected person is someone who has been hurt by Akasha. An infected person turns into Akasha in half a day, but what if he joins a group of refugees in this ambush?

Certainly something will happen that I don't want to think about.

“In ten days, the outsider will be treated like Akasha by anyone. ”

“I understand your response. I'm not trying to stop it. ”

That's why Robert nods heavily.

Even if it was for the people, I couldn't save one by putting so many people at risk.

“So I'll save as many people as I can until then. ”

No regrets left.

Roberts' eyes are filled with determination.

On the other hand, Ferda's eyes, which had discovered this, had a pale duvet.

When I first saw him, I had a relatively naive look like a young boy, now it was because I was close to the monarch.

“I see. I'll leave you to it. ”

How many people can we save?

Ferda's eyes sparkle with interest. A few conversations and reports later ended the story of the refugees completely.

“This should be enough defense for the territory. ”

It is an effective way to defeat Akasha, or you can discuss tactics later. We are gathered here today to share roughly how to prepare for disasters.

“So what's next? ”

“It's my turn to report. ”

Isha wakes up before Ferda's words are finished.

She smiles at everyone and walks straight ahead.

“I've been communicating with the tower and Duke Setier. ”

The topic of the meeting has now moved beyond the Earl's decree, into the realm. When the eyes of those who were in place became more serious about the water. Isha continues.

“First of all, the tower moves according to our plan. He summoned wizards all over the kingdom and said they wouldn't respond to the first air strike. ”

Robert rolls his eyes at her report.

“That's amazing. The wizards who snore so easily. ”

“That's right, Wizard Keshamif ordered it himself. ”

Earl Keshmif is the master of all the steeples.

So of course I have to follow. Isha shrugs.

Meanwhile, Ferda nods with a light smile.

I thought the steeple would be easy to get through. Earl Keshmif, no one else, is a powerful supporter of the realm.

“And here's a report on the nobles in other parts of the country. ”

Isha's face is somewhat darkened as she continues to speak.

After a while, the reason came out of her mouth.

“They say they're preparing for an air raid, but they're not as meticulous as we are. Even Duke Setia, it must be hard to convince all the nobles. ”

Isha then added a detailed description of the situation.

It is said that the more nobles who strongly support the first and second princes near the capital, the more cautious Duke Setier was.

On the other hand, if you are a nobleman or a knight family guarding the border, you have built a defensive system following the word of Duke Setier. Especially some nobles following the Duke have even declared an exhibition.

When I heard that, my mouth was full of smiles.

‘That's a good sign. ’

In the beginning, Ferda had no intention of persuading all the nobles. I knew it was impossible from the start. So, the authors of the previous round were satisfied with just keeping the information out.

But this time it was different.

There are fewer, but there are nobles following the warning. This was a very meaningful change, even if it was only one in ten.

‘You should be thanking Duke Setier. ’

If it wasn't for him, none of this would have made a difference.

When I said a thank you I couldn't hear in my heart, my silent practice opened my mouth.

“Then I suppose the kingdom is half ready? ”

“Well, let's see. ”

You didn't convince the nobles, but you did get help from the Horse Tower.

Also, the protection of the Earl was very thorough. Even if half is prepared, it is no exaggeration. Ferda gives me a positive answer, and the truth is, she rubs her chin and mutters.

“Now all that's left is... ”

“It's about how the other kingdoms will emerge. ”

Fruit doesn't just fall into the Kingdom.

It also falls into the mountains bordering the Kingdom of Laderon, Jerome and Serrahim the Holy Kingdom. Deserts, Serenek Forest, and far-away eastern empires are no exception.

Therefore, this disaster had to work with other kingdoms as well.

“First of all, according to Lord Harga, the kingdom of Jerome seems to be listening to our advice. Not as well as the erl, but he should be prepared. ”

Last time, Jerome was greatly injured by the second disaster.

Half the kingdom has been corrupted, and many knights and people have died. Jerome, who was so shaken up that his country eventually merged with Sererheim, helped expand the Holy Land.

‘I can't let that happen this time. ’

That's why I sent June Harga, Robert's knight, to Jerome's kingdom. It was to warn about disasters while also guarding against them. And fortunately, this time he said he was prepared in his own way.

‘The rest is up to them. ’

Just when Ferda whispered so deeply.

Robert finished talking about the kingdom of Jerome. Then, he tapped his knee and asked, as if he had remembered something between the stars.

“Oh, by the way, don't you have to tell Ser Jaime? ”

The Holy Kingdom of Cereheim.

Ferda's face stiffens, fearful of the name.

“There's no need to tell. ”

Starting with a voice as hard as your face.

Day after day answers poured out from everywhere.

“I didn't want to tell you in the first place. ”

“I just want you to perish. ”

In fact, she grimaced her face, and she smiled coldly.

At the same time, Robert realizes his mistake after a violent reaction. It was because I had forgotten for a moment what kind of power Isha and Silvana used.

“I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up. ”

He lowers his gaze as he looks at Robert, who is overwhelmed.

The Holy Nation must fight one day. So there is no need to warn. And the word "trust" comes down to the Holy Kingdom anyway, so I will prepare myself without having to say it.

And one more thing.

There were fearsome weapons in the Holy Land, able to withstand disasters.

‘· · · · · · · Cardinal without name. ’

Sererheim's strongest paladin.

And the enemy who caught up with him twice in the last round. When I think of him, I clenched my fist. At the same time, the spirit of never losing this time was engraved again.

“Hmmm! I think that's enough sharing. ”

Then Robert clears his throat. Your ears are slightly reddened, and you don't seem to be able to handle the awkward atmosphere, so you want to end the meeting.

Ferda smiles and nods.

“This is the end of today's meeting. Good work, everyone."

That concluded the meeting last night.

Robert then disappeared as an excuse, and Isha also said she would stay in touch with the tower.

“Then, if you'll excuse me. ”

Tervand bows to Silvan and Ferda.

After a short while, Ferda looks around the room naturally. It was because I had something else to say regardless of the meeting. But then, there was a voice that came one step ahead.

“Ferda.”

The man who kept his mouth shut the whole meeting. It was a shantam.

When I turned my head to the sudden call, I saw a somewhat stiff face. Why is he looking at me like that? I was tilting my head curiously.

Shantam opens his mouth with a serious face.

“· · · · · · · I have something to say. ”
