Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0
Turning Point and Commercial Opportunities
― ― ― Sulio in the corner of a lively square
”Hmm, I see... that's how you defeated the Earth Dragon”
A cloth was laid in the corner of the square where the banquet flourished in front of the armor of the Earth Dragon, and Sulio raised his voice in one hand as he grilled the main vegetable of the banquet, the skewer of black ghee, and Riode and Cleve nodded in the same cloth.
"And if you want to learn how to fight without relying on martial arts......
...... I'm not going to say anything about Master Zhu Ha, but I don't think he lacked the finer colors in the last rebellion... I wonder how to ask him as a mentor. "
Sulio went on to say that...... Kleve raised his hand in horror and slowly opened his mouth.
"As a matter of fact, when I was cleaning up, Mr. Monto explained to me... Mr. Monto said that Mr. Zhu Ha is an extremely good common sense person."
I'm a common sense person, so I try to measure everything with common sense... loss, greed, anger, resentment, love.
I'm very good at reading the way people move with such ordinary emotions... On the contrary, it seems that I'm very bad at fighting insane, confusing and unreasonable opponents who can't be measured with such emotions, such as loss and greed, which are not in the common sense of Zhu Ha's knowledge.
And the mastermind of the last rebellion, I don't know if it was really the purpose of the rebellion. If you wanted to succeed in the rebellion, you should have been able to do so, but if you wanted to gain land and profits, you should have gotten it... It's like throwing everything out along the way... It's like a ridiculous existence that Juha-san would have had trouble coping with except for Juha-san, who is the worst... "
With such words, Sulio half-eyed...... returned the words with a grumpy expression.
"Hmm... I see?"
I certainly don't know who the mastermind is, and I can't read the purpose of the mastermind... but I've survived that war well.
Even Master Zhuu Ha was supposed to be on the battlefield for quite a long time..... "
"Mr. Monto explained this to me... but when he fought those who went crazy in the war, he did something about it."
If Zhu Ha-san seems to be troubled, stopping his legs, or struggling, Diaz-sama goes forward without thinking about anything and kicks everything with his force.
If Master Diaz beat the enemy like that, then Zhu Ha would move and rearrange his entire unit with the help of Master Diaz.
It seems that Diaz is too intuitive to run rampant, but it seems that the root of his thoughts is an ordinary common sense person...... Zhu Ha only thought about how Diaz would move and gave instructions, and Diaz on the front line discovered the enemy's aim and thoughts based on experience...... "
"Ahh... I see, I'm sure that's what Master Diaz does..."
While battling the Earth Dragon, Lord Diaz's legs weren't that strong.
There will be be beastlings everywhere who can run faster, and there will be powerful beastlings who can't be defeated by their strength.
If they can fight the Earth Dragon and win... well, I guess they'll lose lightly.
You can't run without getting lost like Diaz, you can't stop looking at the gap for a moment, you can't stop the distance, you can't climb the Earth Dragon's armor again... you can't be afraid, you can't miss the gap, you can't get lost in your judgment... you don't know how to hesitate.
If it was normal, I would be afraid when the fireball was spit out. Whether I was approaching it, climbing the armor, or attacking it, I was hesitant to do anything.
Excellent intuition, with 20 years of solid experience to back it up... 20 years.
We fought to make Lord Eldan our lord, but we haven't fought in only a year for a few dozen days. "
With that said, Sulio was hungry...... and thought about it.
I knew there was a downside to Zhu Ha saying that, and that Diaz had helped me with it.
However, there was no Diaz on Zhu Ha's side... and there was no one similar to him.
If so, someone needs to take on that role... I'm lucky to have someone here who can learn that part from Diaz, and I think about it deeply.
Riord and Cleve thought about the banquet as well.
Even if there are shortcomings, Zhu Ha's abilities are amazing, and there are many things you can learn from the way Montpellier fights... If you learn here, learn under Zhu Ha, and become a military scholar at one end, you will be able to succeed in life even if you are like them? "
If only you could use your wisdom, you could defeat even that Earth Dragon, so it should be easier to defeat beasts and people...
Sulio, Riordo, and Cleve each renewed their determination... to enjoy this noisy and pleasant feast for the time being, and turned their attention to cooking, drinking, singing, and dancing.
- In a few days, all over the kingdom.
Suddenly, the Earth Dragon appeared in various places and was safely crushed, so that the kingdom grew.
Even though the earth dragon's simultaneous raids should cause a lot of damage, there is a lot of damage, and the materials obtained are many... I wonder if it can be used in buildings by researching new equipment and accessories by processing the materials to obtain them. Merchants, blacksmiths, carpenters and scholars are very vibrant... The domestic economy stimulated by this kind of stimulus has started to circulate well.
Even if we look at the northern part, there was no damage to the people, the village or the field, and dozens of knights only died in the honor of death... The honor and materials obtained were louder than the voice of grief, and the bravery of Uncle Aaring, who continued to command at the front line, was known throughout the kingdom... As a result, the faction of the Second Princess Helena made a big leap.
It seems that only the siege weapons were damaged in the east, but the discussion on whether to replenish the siege weapons was held in the Imperial Castle without losing many, many more siege weapons by throwing their own property without waiting for the discussion to be settled.
The Earth Dragon also appeared in the Empire, and it seems that Lord Sarshus, who had received information that he had successfully defeated the Earth Dragon despite causing considerable damage, was wary of reattacking with a weapon made from Earth Dragon materials, and made such a decision.
As a result, several siege weapon improvements will be implemented, which will improve the quality of craftsmanship in the eastern region.... Lord Sarshus' prestige will be greatly enhanced by the fact that he has crushed the Earth Dragon without human damage... The faction of the First Princess Isabel will also make a considerable leap forward.
With that in mind, the First Prince Richard's faction was unable to enhance its reputation compared to others, and could not acquire materials... It was in a subtle position, not to say harsh.
Lord Mahathi, who has expressed his active support for the faction, has crushed one Earth Dragon without causing any damage, and although he has acquired the Magic Stone in the form of a dedication from Lord Mahathi, he has failed to acquire the materials... The fact that the Earth Dragon did not arrive at the ruling territory would have acted as if it were unlucky if it hadn't... It has caused a relative loss of reputation.
All that could be done was to help the North, causing a lot of damage... Less damage in other areas was unlucky for Richard.
In a situation in which the power relations of each faction changed in this way, the most famous person was Lord Ma 'abadal, who distanced himself from any faction.
How many times do you want to say "dragon crusade"? Under the circumstance that two Earth Dragons are coming at the same time... There is no damage, and it is said that the Dragon Crusade was carried out by the public on its own.
The only thing left to do was to collect in a short period of only a year and crusade with trained conscripts... I guess the only skill I can say is that I managed to properly operate my troops while opposing the Earth Dragon.
Not only that, but I heard that we started to develop roads in the grassland where there should have been nothing, and began to create customs posts on the border between the West and countries that are said to be unknown and unexplored... The public's appreciation for what we have done so far in just one year will be higher than ever.
Some people suspected that it might be a lie because they could talk too much, but this time, they also naturally submitted one of the magic stones they had acquired to the King... At the same time, they also submitted a formal report on the street and the customs post, so the voice of suspicion disappeared in a natural way.
And when I heard those stories... the merchants who were buoyant with the good economy were going to send an incomparable heat gaze into the realm of Ma 'abadar.
The roads have been improved, there are enough human resources to create a customs post, and the public spending is moving around... and the dragon's materials are plentiful for the crusade so far... Recently, the guild has been actively investing.
The Mahathi Realm in the Greater Commercial Zone was a neighbouring territory, and rumors of mine development were heard... and it was impossible for a merchant to ignore it.
The power relations of each faction are changing fluidly, and the value of Lord Me 'Abadar is increasing in political terms...... The merchants of Sho 'Abadar have shown interest, so some merchants have driven their carriages towards the territory of Me 'Abadar.
