The next day, His Majesty said that he wanted to raise the morale of his soldiers before they went to battle.
Knights of the brave kingdom, when His Majesty speaks like this, I am convinced that this is what charisma is all about, especially when I see the end soldiers becoming more and more motivated.
Well, it didn't sound like I wanted to pull into the realm.
“Everything will be ready by today! Elite! Prepare yourselves and get ready to leave today! Tomorrow, I'll hit you on the side of Yellinetta!"
At the end, the emperor deliberately inspired in a barbaric manner, showing his teeth and a fierce smile. The soldiers responded with a loud voice. We've only been expanding our territory in battle, but we've gotten used to the soldiers.
"Good! Then, Till, please."
Yes!
After timing the signal, Till replies loudly and moves forward. Behind Till, a pair of girls in the same maid's clothes were lining up, moving apart in pairs.
There is a prearranged ignition stand on the street, and the lights go on one after the other. In the evening when the sun went down, a red fire lit up the street at equal intervals, creating a fantastic landscape somewhere.
His Majesty and the nobility, who know what to do, are silent, but the soldiers, who have not been informed of anything, are puzzled.
In the Scuderia Kingdom, it is customary to call a battle ritual to eat lavishly before going to battle. It was quite different, but it was like part of the battle ceremony.
However, since it is done just before going to battle, it seems that a cup of alcohol is usually served to a simple meal that can be done at the fort or in the camp.
Then you've come to Theato Village, so Van can help you make memories. With that in mind, I offered His Majesty a battle ritual meal.
"... do you think you can satisfactorily prepare meals for tens of thousands of soldiers in such a small territory?"
Jalpa told me that, but I just said, "Leave it to me."
After all, there was so much flesh left of the beast that it had to be disposed of. There is a limit to drying and long-term storage. This is a chance to clear your inventory.
After dozens of visits, the barbecue preparation was completed without delay. Confirm that and give instructions to Kamsin next.
Prepare the meat!
Yes!
Like Till, Kamsin replied well and stepped forward. Behind them were the Knights of Ceato Village, who pulled a trolley filled with beast flesh.
Trolleys with meat on both sides of the street ran one after the other. The soldiers looked at the situation with their eyes wide open.
When everyone is in position, the meat is placed one after the other on the barbecue table, and the smell begins to smell good around it.
Not only the soldiers, but also the noblemen will have a hard time tolerating saliva. After all, all I was baking was the flesh of rare large demon beasts that I couldn't even eat in the capital.
In addition, the seasoning includes expensive salt and pepper, and Van Kun's special grilled meat sauce. It is a pity that it is not rice but bread, but there is also alcoholic beverages, so there will be no problem. It offers large quantities of whisky, grape wine, and barley wine under development. There is also plenty of alcohol for the Mary Chamber of Commerce and the Commercial Guild.
Incidentally, Van's yakiniku sauce is made with grape wine, garlic, apple fruits, black pepper, onions, vegetables, and salt in the original meat sauce. I think it has become a pretty good sauce of yakiniku for me.
Till and Kamsin reported that the barbecue was ready while everyone was nailing it down.
Your Majesty, I'm ready.
With that, the emperor nodded deeply and opened his mouth to everyone.
My knights! Today is a more special battle ritual than usual! Usually, we can only distribute more preserves, but today, Baron Van has provided us with rare food! I want you to eat enough! "
His Majesty called out, and the other nobles said that they would start a dinner for each of the Knights.
Immediately after that, tens of thousands of soldiers arrive.
Soldiers clinging to the flesh with the momentum of thinking that this is truly a war.
Please eat slowly!
Here's your Van-sama sauce!
"That's good, this Van-sama's sauce!?"
No, the meat itself is so delicious!
Everyone's making a fuss and flattening the meat. Well, I left behind some delicious beast meat. I'm glad I cleared the inventory.
Well, shall we eat delicious meat too?
Looking back, the emperor looked at the soldiers strangely.
"Baron Van, what kind of beast is this meat?" The joy of those soldiers is unusual. "
Jalpa and the others who lined up behind His Majesty agreed with the words.
"Well, I guess... there were a couple of scorpions (skeleton wolf), crustaceans (armored lizard), black demon pigs (black boar)... ah, and a few vermilion demon tigers (red evil tigers)."
I answered with remembrance, and the aristocrats surprised me.
"If I were a Zhu Demon Tiger...!"
"It's stupid. Even the entire kingdom appears once every twenty years..."
"It's said to be a powerful demonic beast comparable to a dragon....."
I nodded as I heard such a voice.
"Certainly, it seems that Zhu Demon Tiger is unusual." You've only crushed five bodies so far. However, since it was ten meters in size, it was easy to aim for it with a barista. I was surprised when I first saw it. "
While smiling bitterly, he replied like that. I was surprised not only by the nobility behind me, but also by His Majesty's response.
"...... Zhu Demon Tiger did enough damage to halve a city, and finally managed to crush it with a thousand elite members of the Royal Knights and two top-notch Four Elemental Magicians."
His Majesty laughed in amazement as he spoke.
