Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

- - Diaz.

The battle bell rang and the enemy army in the center stormed in, stopping the movement... then a little time passed, but the enemy army remained motionless like this.

Peek into the binoculars and see how each enemy army is doing...... the soldiers in the center are still looking around at the perimeter, not trying to advance or retreat, just standing up on the spot.

The left-wing mercenaries don't stand up for weapons, don't even try to look at this one... they seem to be discussing something or rubbing it.

And the right-wing Eldans... they were starting to line up some chairs with a white table that they pulled out of the carriage behind the formation about what the hell happened and what made them think to do that.

Place a tablecloth on the table to decorate the vase and decorate the flowers… right on its side, it has even begun to set up the "

What the hell are the Eldans trying to do......

"Ah, Dear Diaz.

Deane and the others made a move, one of their squire from under Deane, each rushing towards the left and right.

... I wish I didn't use the battle bell from the beginning... "

I got that report from Klaus, who was watching the enemy army with his binoculars as well as I did, and I turned my binoculars towards you... oh true, your squires are running in desperate shape.

Decree...... you mean your legs are too slow for it, and unforeseen things have happened that would have to turn them into decrees like that?

... I don't know what the hell happened.

"... let's see how it goes until the enemy forces have movement like this"

What the hell is going on with the enemy army, what the hell does the enemy army want to do?

I didn't know anything, but I gave instructions to wait for the enemy to move, both in the raven and in the corner.

- - Deane Army, Right Wing

At the end of the installation of a simple kitchen for the battlefield, a fire was placed in the kitchen… an elongated kettle placed on top of the kitchen begins to boil water.

Right on the side of the jar, Camarotts is starting to prepare tea leaves and teapots, and Diane's squire under those Eldans... a fat middle-aged man running in with silk brioche and leg coats.

"Oh Lord Eldan, what the hell are you going to do!?

Why didn't you move the army when you were instructed to storm the whole army!!

Eldan, sitting loosely in his chair, answers nothing but sending a cool glance at a middle-aged squire who roughs his voice when he rushes in.

Eldan, dressed without weapons, without armor and unusual, prompts him to sit on a chair placed across from the table with graceful tricks silently… When a baffled middle-aged squire lowers his back on that chair, he finally opens his mouth.

"It's teatime."

"... what?

"It's an important tea time.

My father Enkers' will tells me to be noble at all times and under all circumstances, and to make sure that noble tee times are indispensable.

So now it's more important to enjoy tea time than to move the army. "

In Eldan's words, which he never expected, his middle-aged squire can no longer say much of a surprise.

I'm moving my mouth around trying to say something, but nothing good comes out of what I say... and I'm getting ready for tee time while my middle-aged squire does that.

A white teacup was placed in front of Eldan with a qualitative but luxurious feel, and an amber tea poured out of a teapot held by Camarotts... so the middle-aged squire spits out the word as to whether the idea has finally come together.

"O, are you going to defy the King's life on the grounds of such paranoia no longer!?

What the hell does Lord Eldan consider his king's life to be!!

Even with the words of such a middle-aged squire, Eldan quietly and calmly returns the words, enjoying the colour of the tea with his eyes, without breaking its cool expression.

"You say strange things, I have obeyed my royal life properly.

I want you to remember, as stated in the royal decree, that we cooperated too much with food, money, weapons, force. "

"Gu, don't try to move the army a step. What is cooperation!!

Move your army to fight that enemy immediately...!

"... enemies? Where are the enemies?

You're pointing to Lord Diaz and his enemies, aren't you?

Are you going to tell me that those two men, who stand in dignity even in front of this great army, are the enemy?

So Erdan cut off his words once... with a sharpened gaze he stares at his middle-aged squire, turning his voice into something cold before continuing his words.

"I don't look like an enemy.

All I can see is a fine lord ruling the land, who showed up to greet me with only one squire in his attire.

Even if those two are enemies, I don't think you need to move as many as 1,000 of my troops.

Dear Deane, I think it's enough that the elite people over there are proud of you.

Anyway, there's only two of them!

I don't think there's any need to move as many as 1,000 troops out of the way. [M]

... In general, it only said to cooperate with the royal decree that didn't even write that address ~.

I have already cooperated far enough to comply with the royal decree.

If Deane wants to make something out of it, she can do it herself.

… Still, if you really want the army to move, waiting until tea time is over is the courtesy of begging for cooperation "

Eldan's middle-aged squire tries to say something back to that word of Eldan, but he stops such a middle-aged squire by raising one hand, and gently attaches the other hand to the teacup and begins to indulge in the scent drifting from it.

A middle-aged squire throws words like that and emotion at Eldan, but Eldan slowly and gracefully lifts the teacup and enjoys the flavor of tea... I think he emptied the teacup and immediately replaced it with Camarotts! and speak up.

In the end, the middle-aged squire finally sensed where Eldan had started drinking his third cup of tea when that tea time was something that would never end... and left the scene with indignation without saying anything more.

- Deane Army, Left Wing

"... I thought it was weird.

I wonder why the rest of them didn't get this job when they're probably paying well.

Even the thief crusade is headed west, which is a weird story...

It's rough. There 'll be more thieves in the east though. Ooh...

But hey, I can't believe the target is Diaz... the princess is trying to discuss Diaz. I don't know how you feel about that...

Don't be in a hurry because the war is over and there's less food to feed... "

Mercenary captain Gordon, who brings up the mercenaries who lay a line on the left wing, said he had been in this meadow since he confirmed Diaz's appearance with his eyes, and that's how he kept boggling alone.

The mercenaries that Gordon could follow didn't respond no matter how many voices he spoke, slapped on his shoulder or grabbed him, and kept his head full of bossy grey hair and mustaches, just kept bobbing.

Even as the battle bell rang and all army assault signals were given, Gordon, who continued to voyage in that state, finally frees his own head from those two hands with one of Gordon's sane questioning mercenaries laying his hands on the pattern of his sword.

"Retreat.

If you have time to unplug a catfish like that, just start getting ready.

We're getting out of here before Diaz sees us. "

If you don't stop holding your head, the mercenaries around Gordon who said so without even looking at the mercenaries who tried to pull out their swords will freak out.

"I can't read that many signs, so can a mercenary captain do it?

I'm sane, I'm not worried about you being extra worried.

... Look, we don't have time for this, just get ready to pull out "

There is such a Gordon instruction… The mercenaries are divided into those who honestly follow the instructions and begin to prepare to withdraw, and those who deliberately exchange words with that and this without following the instructions.

As Gordon's surroundings become noisy that way, one lower-end mercenary speaks to Gordon reluctantly and other attitudes.

"... Oh, uh, captain?

Why are we talking about retreating again? There are only two of them, no matter how much they're heroes of the Redemption, right?

Success rewards are huge... don't pull back. Let's do it the way we always do.

Ra, it's an easy win, those guys!

Perhaps the mercenaries who didn't follow Gordon's instructions told me to ask you at the bottom.

The lower-end mercenary is odd at the waist to see.

Gordon sighs deeply at such a low-end mercenary and then... shouts aloud so that all those who do not try to follow the instructions can hear him.

"Nah, it's an easy win, you idiots!

What you see over there is the Blood Axe. Kill them all, that Diaz who was told he was a Mad Warrior.

Besides, what you see next to it is Klaus, the unruly trooper who joined Diaz and kept pushing him into the enemy line.

I'm not dreaming of an easy win!!

When I'm frightened by Gordon's shouting like that, and the lower-end mercenary can't say anything, one of the other mercenaries speaks up, like there's no choice.

"... but we have 200 fighters over here.

200 guys against each other. This one loses or whatever it is... "

"... Sora, with 200 people, you can win no matter how strong Diaz and Klaus are.

... We can win, but we're talking about how many people will be killed for it.

30 or 40...... maybe 50 people will get hit.

Besides, it's also a problem that the land is over there with their ropes.

If there was an ambush that was a trap, it would be worse... the worst case scenario would be that over 100 people would be hit.

I don't know what happened, but Lord Casdex's army doesn't seem to move either... and if anyone still thinks it's right for you, do whatever you want after I run away.

Give it to the guy who wants to do the advance and the reward for success. "

That's what Gordon says. He takes a bag full of gold out of his nostrils, and throws it at a loud mercenary.

However, the mercenary does not try to receive the bag, but jumps back and distance himself from the packed bag of gold coins as if he had been thrown something nasty.

Gordon's words and attitude are heavy on the other mercenaries, and as for who, I will not attempt to approach the bag.

"... that's wise.

Assuming Diaz's crusade goes well, you can't live in this country anymore if you know you've done Diaz harm.

Think mercenaries from all over this country will turn to their enemies if they do this.

Many mercenaries say Diaz saved their lives in that battle. Even if not, Diaz is the benefactor who protected my country and my hometown.

You guys know how important it is that all the jizzies in the industry are such brother-in-laws, right?

... Now our top priority is to get out of here, and we'll both bow our heads and explain.

... the idiots who try to get their hands on Diaz in this industry aren't in that war. They'll be like you or the bandits. "

When Gordon says so, another... voice rises from one of the mercenaries that Gordon doesn't seem to remember his face or his name.

"But, you know, kicking the princess's request is a problem, right?

"There will be problems, but still better than turning mercenaries all over the country against their enemies.

Besides, don't forget that if that princess died, she wouldn't have had the problem herself.

... Look, don't be a jerk. That's it. Get ready for the retreat. "

Leaving the scene and returning to the city before the princess... so look at the situation and deal with the princess in some cases.

The mercenaries, who perceived that intention behind Gordon's words, will continue to follow Gordon or not, but will resume the preparations they had already begun, if they begin to prepare to withdraw.

As preparations were under way to lay down his weapon, cover his body with a cloak, and throw away what seemed bulky there…, a squire would run from under Deane and make a request to march according to the warring bell's signal, but Gordon would not lend any ears and push a bag of gold coins against his squire to drive him back under Deane.

- - Diaz.

The order ended its role and went back under Deane, but the enemy's situation remained unchanged and not a single step moved.

... No, around Eldan having a cup of tea or the mercenaries starting to retreat, it's good to say that the enemy's situation hasn't started anything yet, but it's getting worse.

The reason Eldan is doing so... well, I can somehow guess, but I'm not sure why the mercenaries are about to withdraw.

The mercenaries I knew during the war would never have fled in front of the enemy under any circumstances... I don't think the current situation is overwhelmingly advantageous on the enemy side and there is any reason to withdraw...

Thinking about that while peeking into the binoculars, Deane and the others have movement.

The servants who had earlier run to the missionary order and those who had refrained from the side of Deane were somehow armed... to join the central army, they began to rush with a sad look toward the central army.

In the rear of such squire, Deane on horseback seems to be waving a flashy, conspicuous wand, screaming something with his madly stained face as he hits a battle bell with his wand... The central army, where the squire joined, begins to march this way with no morale or momentum, being pushed back by such Deane screams.

Oh, no more... If neither Eldan nor the mercenaries can move, and there's nothing we can do about it, then why the hell would you recklessly march the soldiers on something good once you've retreated and reconstructed the operation?

Diane frightened me, and so did those who followed Diane... and sympathized with both, I realized that Klaus and Murph and Amma's gaze in my nostalgia was right for me.

... right, now wasn't the time to worry about the enemy army. The enemy is marching this way anyway.

... All right.

"... the number of enemies is a little at 50, the morale is low, and from what I've seen, the practice is low.

If we join forces, we won't lose first. "

In the middle of my words, Klaus laughs nicely and the Murphs start shaking their tails hard.

"- And I want to change the operation.

In the meantime, all those soldiers, let's take up their weapons and disable them after they've been intercepted and beaten like this here.

If I disable them all, I run under Deane, and Deane punches them one shot too.

If you hit him once, all those idiots will wake up. "

And, when I finish the words, Klaus only gives a surprise look for a moment before laughing loudly, and the Murphs bark waffly and small in their masks to make their tail swing even more intense.

"Duh, how does that happen -!!

That's not the difference in the number of hands you can give or take -!!

Such a dangerous imitation, absolutely not -!!

and as the only apparently opposed operation change, Eima, hits me hard in the chest, I will work out a fine maneuver with the Klaus and the others on how to fight.

While doing so, enemy soldiers approach us... and I raise my roar with all my strength, trying to intimidate my enemies, trying to inspire my allies.

Using that voice as a signal, Klaus rushed out and Murph and the others began to move around the grass... and the curtain of battle rose.

――――

'... yeah, it's a good shout (kanji).

We can't lose this, either.

... Okay, if Diaz says he won't argue with you... at least with one end of the meadow curse, let's try to engrave that idiot's head with no more fear '
