Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 708: Strange Peace

"After all, you didn't come during the night"

For ventilation and surveillance, Paperino rubbed his eyes on the sleeping beard, narrowing his eyes in the morning sun from a window where only one armored door was opened.

"Sort of. Even if they call for reinforcements, they won't be able to get all the personnel right away. Mercenaries and private soldiers are either drunk in a liquor store or sitting at a whore's place in their spare time. It's just a job to get those guys together and tailor them. I don't think he's as proficient as he is at night marching, and no matter how many clients make a scene, he doesn't move quickly."

Regardless of the covert forces, it is hard to imagine that the enemy would align a large number of assault units with only their direct soldiers.

It costs money to have a soldier anyway.

If you think only of simple combat, each time, it's quick to hire people.

If it's a dirty job like this one, it makes sense to dispose of mercenaries and adventurer collapses that move with money to avoid later rot.

"I guess. Soldiers (of which) are in the immediate response and absenteeism groups under the policy of the leader of the regiment, but it will only be possible to do so within the ranks of the soldiers (of which)"

The Swordtooth Corps was organized with an outpost led by Jilboa and an absentee led by Swiberry, and is now moving with a separate kind of request. Its equipment is ample, its training is rigorous and its personnel morale is high.

But that's because the Sword Tooth Corps is a true first-rate clan. Ordinary mercenaries, they don't.

"When will it come," he thinks to Paperino's question.

"Well... the enemy will also assume that this one requests backup, so they'll want to put a piece on by the end of the day. Leaving early in the morning, after noon, or in the evening"

Thinking about being an enemy commander, if you were going to make a raid, you'd want to put a piece on it by the end of the day.

The more time we have, the harder this defense becomes.

"On the contrary, if there is no raid until tomorrow morning, the enemy will have given up. Then the job of returning the wheat bags (these guys) to the warehouse and returning the chickens to the cabin awaits"

"You want me to give you a break about that. The chickens won't listen to me."

The chickens are connected by remembering Sarah, who feeds them, but other human things stick hard as egg thieves.

"Yes, sir. More breakfast than that!

Sarah gave me a glass of herbal tea and a few well-cooked biscuits served in a wooden dish.

Is this the one that smelled good from earlier?

After a bite, the saggy toothpaste and the aroma of nuts spreads to the nose.

"That's good. It's not like the extraordinary food we used to eat when we were adventurers."

"That's right! Because they use good flour and vegetable oil, and they have eggs and nuts in them!

Except it doesn't contain sugar and butter, I use extra superior ingredients than what I was making in the original world.

It would have been cooked as a preserved food for the cage castle, but it could also be used as a confection.

Some other biscuits on the plate have dried fruit instead of nuts.

"They're carrying water barrels, too, so it's okay."

Water barrels are also brought into the corner of the room as drinking water. Inside, herbal leaves are added to prevent and fragrance rot.

When this water is boiled in a fireplace fire, it becomes a thin but aromatic herbal tea.

"When the rice is not very good, it doesn't feel like a fight," Kilik chuckles as she pinches the biscuit with her thick fingers.

Totally. There may be a battle, but there is a strange tranquility and peace in this place.

"We're fine, but aren't the villagers scared?"

"Sort of. But he told the church to get together, and he talked to the leaders. I also give them metal tools to protect myself. In the first place, the church is made of thick stone walls to prepare for monster raids, and it's as easy to consolidate defenses as this mansion. There are also more than 100 people who can fight. I don't even have enough wealth to be targeted. How safer than here."

Their aim is the printing industry, the printing press, the blueprints and the technician Gorgogo.

All of that is in this mansion.

If it's a condition that we have to put a piece on it by the time the backup comes, we just have to aim here first.

Of course, if the enemy is a total outlaw, a real bandit contender who arsons a building on his eyes as he marches, or becomes a bloody eye at mowing the wheat in the field, it is possible that the measures will not work in the first place.

But even in that case, if there's a big difference in his power, we'll have to cage him and wait for reinforcements.

So the measures to be taken will not change as a result.

Now, wait anyway. That's all I have.
