Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord ~The Nameless Village Is Made Into the Strongest Fortified City by Production Magic~

There was no chase, but there was intense fatigue on the faces of the citizens.

Not far from the neighboring town, the distance was about a week by carriage, but it eventually took two weeks.

With this amount of time, the fortress city should be fully functioning as the base of the Kingdom of Yelinetta.

Though the roads are not well developed, the Yelinetta kingdom base on the back would have greatly improved the frequency and quality of replenishments and reinforcements.

On the other hand, we were left in a corner. We must help the Knights of the King's Landing, the Knights of the Border, and the nearby superior nobles to recapture the fortress city.

However, even if we gather a significant number of troops, it will take years to attack the fortress city.

"Regroup the Knights. The Commander of the Knights of the Border is dead. Ask the Lieutenant Commander for casualties and future strength. The rest is supplies. Make arrangements as soon as possible."

When I give instructions, my men run out. Having arrived in town, I was beginning preparations immediately.

Soldiers and armour were worn out slightly, but morale fell sharply.

That unknown weapon was bad. Soldiers who lost their allies without knowing why would have been afraid.

But there were those who fought against the enemy who manipulated the unknown weapon.

"You didn't help us retreat back then....."

As he murmured, many knights appeared and filled the entrance to the town. At the beginning is a figure of Murcia wearing white armor.

"Father!"

On my instructions, Murcia, who had gathered troops from elsewhere, finally arrived in this town.

"It's too late. What were you doing?"

With anger in her mouth, Murcia stretched her face and spine.

"Ha, yes! I'm sorry! I thought I had as many soldiers as I could, so I used them to get them all together! We split up into the First Army and the Second Army to avoid delay....."

The excuse gives rise to an irreplaceable rage.

"Stupid...! You're too late to do anything! If you are a normal person, learn one and know one. If you have a good memory, you will learn one and accumulate two or three knowledge. But you finally learned ten."

"No, I'm sorry! Oh, I'm aware that you don't remember well...."

"If you realize it's too late, think faster and move faster than others, idiot!

When he yelled, Murcia shrunk and atrophied. I buy my usual efforts, but this weakness of mind and poor memory are hard to forgive.

Looking at Murcia with anger, it was mainly a group of cavalry who saw new soldiers from the entrance of the town.

"Marquis Jarpa Blu Atti Fertilo. Not as many people as the Lord say so. Young people are shrinking."

As he turned to the voice, he knelt down on one knee and crouched down.

"Your Majesty, this is an ear stain....."

It's the only master's voice that I can't mistake. I lowered my head deeply, feeling the anger and frustration that had never existed before spreading in an instant.

You can hear a pebble treading nearby, and a voice falls from above your head.

"Marquis, stand up. Explain the situation. What's the status of the war?

That's how I realized my face was twitching.

But I have to answer.

"... the castle city, the scudet, has fallen. But I will definitely recapture it. I'm preparing for that right now....."

"... I understand the status of the war. Tell me the details. By the time Sir arrived, had he already fallen?

A cold sweat flows through that voice, which makes you slightly irritated.

"When I arrived, a mysterious attack with Wyburn approached the fall of the Scudette. As they were completely surrounded and caged, they attacked from the western side of the street and cut off one side of the siege. However, when the enemy threw a mysterious spherical weapon, many of our Knights were blown away."

"... what? A magic trick?

"I don't know. However, its versatility was high and there were few signs. Just throw it and the spark will scatter, and the moment it hits something, there will be an explosion of flame with a loud sound. He retreated and was attacked, and even Wyburn dropped his spherical weapon from the sky."

When I explained, I heard a roar.

A moment of silence makes you feel like a criminal awaiting the death penalty.

Her Majesty's mouth was opened when she felt the dryness in her mouth and breathed long and shallow.

"... okay. So you're retreating? What about the damage?"

Your Majesty was calm. You notice that your body relaxed and your shoulders and back were stretched unusually.

"The smaller the damage to our Knights, the more 30% of the Knights of the Frontier deployed to the Squad died in battle. Another 20% were seriously injured. Citizens have completed their evacuation with almost no casualties because they were not pursued during the last retreat."

"... weren't you chased?

A skeptical voice resounded.

This could be my suspicion of connecting with the Kingdom of Yelinetta.

When I noticed that, I had cold sweat on my spine.

"Yes, it's a vague report, but when we started retreating, we got some backup from the south side of another street. I don't know what happened. However, there were no signs of magic, and I saw Wyburn fall in an instant. The enemy considers it a threat and points the soldier to someone....."

Saying so, I squeal my teeth.

What a shameful report. It was decided that defeating a third party dealing with a mysterious weapon was preferable to slashing the backs of our Knights and the Knights of the Border.

If we miss the enemy, we will lead double our troops to attack next time. That's why you have to crush a threatening opponent when you have the advantage.

But the kingdom of Yelinetta gave priority to mysterious third parties over me.

This fact boils down again and again.

"……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… But he won't be able to prepare that many soldiers yet. I wish you'd run without engaging."

And when I heard the voice of His Majesty, I raised my face unexpectedly.

"Va, van...!?

The voice came from behind. Murcia sent it.

In surprised Murcia's words, His Majesty relieved slightly the wrinkles between his eyebrows and nodded shallowly.

"Aren't there rumors already in the Marquis? The Van Nei Fertio boy pioneered the surrounding village and slaughtered the dragon. In honor of that achievement, he was to be recited as a young man."

His Majesty says so satisfactorily.

In that words, Murcia opened her eyes to surprise and eventually laughed with tears.

I wanted to reprimand you for being stupid, but now I'm not.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for taking the liberty of saying so. How was Van able to accomplish such things as crushing dragons? I couldn't do four-element magic, and there were a few signs. To be perfectly clear, I can only imagine someone intervening."

Speaking of his thoughts, His Majesty's eyes hung. And obviously, the voice of anger comes down on your head.

"... Marquis. You think I'm lying? Or are you saying that someone is deceiving you? You think I'm caught up in such a nasty scheme? Does it look so shallow?

I was told that I deeply apologized with my head down.

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that...."

As I lowered my head, I saw Van's face as I walked inside my head.

Is that kid really killing dragons?

But how the hell...?
