"Has the application for an extraordinary budget been rejected…"

With a sinister face, he is the commander of the Gregorum-based "Eagle" Regiment.

Ever since this year, dispatches to the pits and raids by the subordinates who opened the May festival - and they all failed. Guess because there aren't even any bodies left - so you're polishing down your troops plain, and do it. It's border security. If it's a dungeon investigation, then there's more movement of soldiers, and the expenses for that were squeezing the budget. As a result, the number of personnel stationed in Gregorum is decreasing, so consumption should also be reduced, which was the reason for rejecting the application.

"Sure, there are fewer soldiers here right now, but you think the soldiers who sent them out don't need rice or firewood..."

The number of soldiers stationed in a place called Gregorum is decreasing, but it is the truth that they are pressing the budget because of the greater expense of troop movements, such as food, fuel and horse feeding for the soldiers they send out. Most importantly, the problem is that we are already late in arranging the necessary firewood for the impending winter. Eating more than cutting the cost of food is the cost of heating. Maybe the guys upstairs want to tell you not to talk about luxury, but if there's something like a soldier freezing and slowing down because of lack of fuel, it's directly linked to his ability to deploy when things happen. This should be considered a matter of a different dimension from luxury, a necessary expense to move the system called the military. That's what the commander insisted, but the munitions and finance bureaucrats spoke out against it.

You (more) also have quite a say in the munitions and finance clans. Though we have finished the currency conversion (kai) cast (chu), the exchange for the key new currency has been delayed due to this. As a result, it has not been possible to secure the profit from the modification (kai) cast, and only the cost portion of the Ning (mu) roll modification (kai) cast (chu) has been taken out. Yale's slump at the May Festival is applauding this, with the result that the kingdom's finances are in a tight state. It is true that we forced Gregorham and Nicholas to incur unplanned expenses, but that is why we cannot only account for a special budget for these two regiments. Even the deputies of the other regiments and garrisons have decided to keep their mouths shut and say something about it. All seven regiments have a special budget, but they can't afford it. Now if coal had been discovered, it would still have been different, but the good news of raw hate (unfortunately) coal discovery has not arrived.

The commander of the "Eagle" Regiment, who considered his support insufficient for the impending winter, decided to issue an order to open the situation.

"I had to. If the special budget doesn't go down, we'll have to raise fuel on our own."

"... what are you going to do?

"If you don't have firewood, you can pick it up. It's easy."

"But...... there is no place around this town where you can pick firewood. Just a little firewood is not enough to cover the demand of the regiment, and if you do poorly, it will oppress the lives of the residents."

"If there's no firewood near this town, we'll have to go where the firewood is. It's easy, too."

"... where did you say you were going?

"North. There are narrow but forests along the border. If we cut it out of there, we'll be able to cover at least this winter's share."

The northern border of Gregorum refers to the border with Illustria. Even if I don't say it's rugged, it's a mountain... or hilly, and there are certainly forests left there. However, the problem is...

"Wait, please! It is true that there are forests along the border, but it is within the territory of Illustria that there are forests!

The forests on Theodoram's side had been deforested a long time ago, leaving only a portion of the forest's body in Illustria's territory. When it comes to cutting it down, it is a history of pillaging… or border violations and pillaging.

"The border with Illustria is tentative. What the kingdom is not convinced of is that it also understands from the 'recovery' plan, which ended at the end of the line. If so, what is wrong with the legitimate owner using the timber resources in his legitimate territory for a legitimate purpose?

It is unscrupulous reason, no, it is rational. Thank you, Commander, for harassing the upper echelons, it seems that you intend to act in a manner (deliberately) and problematic manner. It is not (occasionally) suitable for those who are attached.

You (more) and the commander seem to have a good math. It is a reading that Illustria, rich in forest resources, will not try to set things up with its neighbors' armies for only a few firewood. In case you blame me, you just have to reopen and intimidate that this is Theodoram territory. If Illustria sends out its troops, they're going to condemn the unjustified monopoly on timber resources. He is a commander of poor quality.

"The dwarf is a Theodoram soldier, and it is against Theodoram's soldiers that the dwarf should be held responsible. Not against the people of Illustria. Under his responsibility, the officer seeks to procure fuel to let the soldiers of the Theodoram Army do all of their work. Is there a problem?

…………

"First, unless you source fuel from somewhere, there 'll be frozen deaths this winter. And when it does, it does. So, they're gonna hold you accountable anyway. So what's wrong with involving the people up there?"

"... right... If you eat poison, it's even a plate. Let's do it."

"Good. Conduct a fuel procurement operation with a squadron of infantry. Just get ready."

"Yes... is it a squadron?

"It would be troublesome if we split it up."

Because of the history of S (Ka), the monstrous operation that remains in the history of Theodoram was carried out.
