Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0

- - Ilk Village Klaus

When Diaz and Narbant were collecting material from Trent, a special training session was being conducted in the village of Ill.

"The winter clothes that Ellie has provided to everyone are made and cold proof differently according to the hair length of their respective families!

For the short haired Senji family, give them solid winter clothes made from thick fabrics! The long-haired Masti family has winter clothing that emphasizes breathability with thin fabrics!

Make sure you learn exactly how to handle it and how to wash it, while fully appreciating that care!

It's my job to take care of my clothes when it's a time of war! You'll be able to wash your hands no matter how cold the water is!

Yes, when Klaus raised his voice, as Klaus' men, the dogs working as lead soldiers said, "Wow!" He replies, "and rushes under Ellie, who teaches us how to wash each wash the bucket and the shape of the hooded Senai and others who match the shape of each race.

That's how I did the laundry from Ellie, learning what I shouldn't do in the laundry, and as the dogs diligently did the laundry, Canis approached me and called out to Klaus, watching how things were going a little further away.

"You also train to cook meals when this is over, right?

... do soldiers have to do that too?

Klaus, who was tightening his face tightly to that question from his wife, returns the answer as he loosens that look.

"Absolutely. I do my own thing. Eat well, sleep well, and don't get sick as clean as you can.

At least we, the people who lived under Diaz, were not indispensable without one exception, and we adhered to Diaz's policy. "

"... If you did that during the war, do you mean you have a lot of problems, or are you going to march slower or something?

"No? That's not true.

You can stay healthy because you live a solid life, and you can be active on the battlefield because you are healthy.

Instead, we, the people under Diaz, boasted the fastest march in the kingdom. "

"Sa, fastest?

I can't imagine what...?

"... one of the reasons Master Diaz pulls everyone off by taking the lead himself, is that he didn't plunder them, I guess.

Once we started looting, for quite a while... it lasted a few days when we were bad... and we didn't do it. We were able to march fast as a result.

It was also a big deal that I needed to keep moving because if I stayed in the same place forever, I would eat up all the food in the neighborhood due to the fact that I was getting food from buying and hunting with the money I earned without destroying my life there. "

In response to the explanation that, Canis is not doubting Klaus' words, but he leans when he is unable to catch up with his thoughts and turns his neck around.

See how that goes. Klaus said,

"If you don't get it, don't get it. I think that's good."

And that's what he said and smiled softly.

- - Eldan's own room, Eldan.

"But Lord Jouha, how the hell did you keep the soldiers morale?

Even if we don't make looting a good thing, sometimes we need to...?

At the same time, I was accidentally blooming on the same topic as Klaus and the others...... Eldan, who was learning all sorts of things from Juuha as usual, throws such a question.

Then he said what he once did... that he was going to do something particularly during the war, and Jouha gives him a slightly bitter look and slowly returns his words.

"Don't be a privilege only allowed to heroes there.

Soldiers who do not plunder starve badly... this is not about their stomachs, this is about their minds.

Exhausted and withered in the unusual midst of war, what can I do to satisfy and heal a hungry heart... one of the answers to that is plunder, but Diaz healed it with words alone.

Well done, you did your best, let's keep up the good work next time.

That's all there is to it... "

Eldan is surprised at the words.

Nobody worries about how to maintain a soldier's morale if it just works with praise, and when Eldan tries to return words like that, Juuha keeps his hands up and stops and continues to say what he knows.

"Diaz is a man who doesn't lie.

To Diaz...... If a man called a rare hero praised me from the bottom of my heart without falsehood, then anyone would be heart-shaking?

In other words, Diaz filled the hearts and minds of the hungry soldiers with his lust for honor.

Whoever takes the initiative to stand forward and praise the soldiers at the right time that there is no more, taking what he thinks is right as a model….

It's a pain in the ass for Diaz to do this without any calculations... so the honorable soldiers started acting like Diaz or right, what a ridiculous story. "

That's what they say. Eldan groans, "So much so" as he nods over and over again.

When I was recognized by my coveted hero Diaz, I was so happy that I thought it was a dream when I agreed with that thought that I had had had over the years.

If that was the battlefield, I am convinced that if my heart was starving, it would be even more so.

"So, when the soldiers began to behave that way, the people of the enemy countries, who would otherwise have turned their gaze of hatred, even the people of the occupied territories began to praise the soldiers, and turned their eyes to envy, which again inspired and satisfied the soldiers' lust for honor.

As they became more welcoming to the enemy people and even allied themselves, the flow accelerated… The people who were supposed to be volunteer soldiers, who were supposed to be just civilians, peasants everywhere, became more disciplined than any other, transforming them into elites above the Knights.

Well, it's Diaz, it's that war, it's an exception, so it's not helpful. "

Having said that, once the words were stopped, Zhuhah... turned his gaze toward the western meadow and exhaled his voice with a sense of reality and strength.

"That's how that idiot is troublesome because he even unintentionally produces surprising results.

I guess I'll keep doing things... maybe I'm still doing something. "

After Jouha, a former comrade of war, so affirmed, Eldan stared at his own arm, which was getting thinner and thinner than it had been before, and nodded forcefully, wondering if the benefit he had received was one of them again.

- - In the northern wilderness, Diaz.

"But how could these Trents have been here?

This wilderness can't be the right place to turn into a tree and strike, can it?

Torrent's material on the luggage car, just looks like wood. Saying so while loading it, Narbant roars "hmm," thinking for a little while, then... returns the word as he lifts the material.

"Monsters are the only ones who know what a monster thinks... but they may have fled here because they can no longer stay where they were originally for some reason.

Maybe there was something in the woods where Trent lived... or something in the magic of monsters nesting across this mountain. "

"... When I say forest, I took a few trips to a forest to the east to prepare for winter, and you think that has something to do with it?

"Hmm? If you saw the boys in the woods, as I was saying, they attacked you with an inquisitive order... something else... oh, yeah, someone in the woods made a bond, maybe.

I came from the demonic realm of the north for the forest due to some circumstance, but I may have had to stay here because of the junction in the forest. "

In that word of Narbant, "What is the kingdom?" And as I tilt my neck, Narbant looks subtle with half an eye... I just put the material in my luggage car with nothing more to say, grab the handles of the luggage car, and start to tow as it is.

"Look, kid, I've been thinking about something extra. So we're just going back to the village.

If I put fire in the magic furnace, I'd have to rebuild the boy's armor, build him all sorts of tools, and enrich the village's life.

For Ora and I, that's what makes us alive and useful and productive... we can't just keep wasting our time like this. "

That's what they told me. I stopped thinking and retaken my battle axe...... I gently did my hand behind the luggage, pushing the luggage with a degree of force that would not interfere with Narbant, and I was on my way home.
