Chapter 126: Morvania - Near the Border - 1. Morvanian Army Border Surveillance Unit

The meeting hall at the Royal Theodoram Castle was once again rough that day. This is because Fei Long soldiers, who by chance were flying near the border with Molvania, reported realizing that the position of the Molvania Border Surveillance Unit was at some point fortified… or that it was expanding in size - and improving living standards - equipped even for wells, arable land and ranches.

Looking a little back in time, the history of the matter was as follows.

"Is it true that horses are coming?

"Oh. That said, winter is near and only a few of them. The pasture seems to be growing fine, and they decided that the country should move to the next stage."

"The next stage… is the water quality test? Or is it a provocation against Theodoram?

"I guess both"

When Marcus and Theodoram were performing a comedy interaction in a sense around the search for adventurers who broke into the "rock cave of disaster," Molvanian border surveillance units - officially dungeon surveillance units - were making great use of the numerous wells drilled for the purpose of water quality inspections to start tilling land around the position and even raising livestock. As a result, the standard of living of soldiers could be greatly improved, but the original purpose lies elsewhere. That is, an impact study on crops and livestock grown or reared using local water and on those who ate it. Of course, the soldier is informed about it in advance.

Since the confirmation that the well water contains no arsenic, the surveillance unit - including General Carbide's and other bureaucrats - has used the well water for drinking, but has not had any health effects. Even seedlings grown from seeds brought with them for test cultivation did not have the effect of well water.

That said, small pigs were sent along with crop and pasture seeds to coincide with troop food and leftovers as the soldiers of the surveillance unit took turns. Already some of the pigs were slaughtered to examine the impact, and the corpse underwent a real food test as the willingness of the responsible position progressed… The report states that it was delicious.

Then for two and a half months, the sown pasture - which has been brought in by choosing a type that is resistant to drying - also decided that now that it has grown well, albeit mostly without water supply, the country should move to the next stage, namely a large-scale herbivorous livestock feeding experiment.

The implementation of these decisions and tests has generally also been well received by soldiers. Whatever the purpose above, it is to be welcomed that the standard of living in the garrison improves. I hear that the stress of joining soldiers has decreased dramatically these days, and that it is unfair from the first recruits to replace them. Might need to take another turn any time.

These series of trends were completely unnoticed by Theodoram. The reason is simple, because Theodoram's reconnaissance forces were not close to the border because of the appearance of a vicious dungeon in Shrek, and the trend could only be detected by observation from afar.

Morvania's surveillance unit is no fool either, so the fields for test cultivation are built on the invisible side of the theodrum. On the contrary, there was also the opinion that it should be shown off and provoked, but more than that, there was a great deal of opinion that it would be more shock for Theodoram to sneak up and build a massive field at once where everything was in order. At last, it is only here that we are distracted by the shadows of the night and sneaky reinforcement of our forces as well.

Eventually the military horses, secretly transported, began to eat the pasture without showing any vigilance when released into the pasture surrounded by fences.

Five military horses were conveniently transported. Not enough for a single cavalry detachment, but if you choose a soldier who can ride horseback, you might be able to make an impromptu horseback squad. However, the laboratory team has strongly requested that the test animals not be subjected to extra stress.

Nearly three months have passed since then, and the number of military horses, initially five, has also increased to ten. The first horse will be returned to King's Capital for more detailed inspection and observation at the next replenishment.

It was the other day that the vale of such Morvanian troops was stripped. It was by chance that a Teodrum flying dragon soldier, flying near the border, witnessed the full extent of the Morvanian border surveillance position, which somehow had expanded enough to prepare even the fields and ranches.
