The story of Miline and Zinto has a later story.

After a few days of searching the house, Miline suddenly came to visit the chamberlain.

I'll do anything. I'm a confident seamstress and good at cleaning. Let me work!

When I saw the scene I called her and Jinto.

[Milline]

Age: 21 years]

Martial force: 5]

Intelligence: 59]

Conducting: 10]

Her ability value is this.

There was an interesting part to this ability value.

I've never studied properly and my intellect is 59.

Martial prowess, intellect, and command, all show up in the numbers when talent and hard work are combined.

In addition, something called a talent limit is applied to the system values. The higher the limit value, the higher the value is. Of course, a high limit value is useless if you don't put any effort into it.

This talent limit had something called Class A breakthrough.

Personnel with the ability to break through to A level means that the value can exceed 100 and become S level.

Mana's talent was also closely related to this.

The system also had a [skill] that allows you to see this talent limit. However, to use this skill, which can identify even potential talent, you need 3,000 points.

It's impossible at the current level.

After all, Miline should have never tried to increase her intelligence.

Because I wouldn't have been in the environment to do so.

Still, if the figure is 59, then if there is a combination of effort, it may be transformed.

Such curiosity was born.

Do you want to work?

"Yes, my lord!

Mirinee fell down flat as soon as she came in front of me. Then she pulled on Zinto's arm.

You too, quickly get down on your knees! The action had these meanings.

Forget it. It's unseemly for a vassal to prostrate himself. And Jinto is a vassal. And his wife, you may call her by her name, too.

"Your Excellency? So, it's ......

Mirinee in confusion, rolling her eyes with a face that you can't call it that, fearfully.

I immediately got to the point.

More importantly, you want to work?

Yes, I'm not sure how to repay this favor. I don't know how to repay this favor: ....... I really will do anything I can to help!

"Can you do any job, no matter how hard it is?

"Yes!

To that affirmation I replied with a towering shoulder.

"Then why don't you study? You'd better learn the letters ...... first.

At my words, Miline blinked her eyes for about ten seconds and stared at Zinto.

It's not Jinto. He's a far cry from that.

A distant one. Miline pointed to herself at those words.

"I am? Oh, no! No way! Isn't writing something that is learned by the nobility?

I'll say it again: vassals are quasi-aristocrats. If you really want to work for the estate, you should start by learning to read. Otherwise, I'm not going to make you work.

When I declared this, Miline looked puzzled with her mouth open.

"But! Would I be able to ......?

I don't know about that either. If you work hard, the results will come. I'll wait for the results for now.

Yes. That was the really unknowable part. Either intelligence rises. Or no change.

Besides, there are many types of intelligence.

The intellectual power to manage and operate a territory. Intellect to fight in war.

You don't know what kind of intelligence it is until you experience it.

It's like waiting for the results of a lottery draw.

*

Currently, my level is 19.

In the last war wiped out the army of the Kingdom of Narja and became level 18.

And in the process of taking out Miline, the battle with the border patrol turned him to level 19.

Armed forces 64.

All that remains is 300 points.

Chapter 1

Finding and upgrading talent is the part that should continue.

It means you have to stay involved in various battles.

Of course, that will be after the territory is prepared.

'Hadyn, assemble the whole army!

First he gathered his entire army to introduce his new vassals.

Then he held a competition, this time with a prize.

I can see the ability value of human resources. But the others can't see it.

Except for me, I don't know what kind of people Jinto and Yusen are.

So, this was just a competition to show off the military prowess of the newly joined vassals.

The results are not to be seen.

It's more like a tournament where the process is important.

Because there is no one who can defeat Jinto.

Even Yusen had been defeated after just one sword stance.

Naturally, the winner was Jinto.

The second place was Yusen.

The extra match pitted the centurion and Jinto against each other at once.

The purpose was to make them realize firsthand how strong Jinto was, and this result was also an overwhelming victory for Jinto!

After this event the positions of vassals were newly announced.

Hadyn, the only nobleman among the vassals to be heavily relied upon, continues to be the general commander of the army.

You can also use the same amount of time and energy as you would in a traditional wedding.

In addition, the newly created commander of a thousand men and appointed Givens and Bente, both of whom were suitable for entrusting a force of more than a thousand men. Givens' command was 76; Bente's was 82.

In this way, the shortage of personnel is severe.

In Zinto's case, his command is too low.

So, he appointed him commander of a special forces unit that does not yet have a subordinate. It's the same grade as a thousand-man commander.

After reviewing the position, he now turned his attention to the troops.

The current Aintolian Territorial Army was 14,000 men, but this was not a fully-fledged regular army. If you look at the history of China and Europe, the number of elite armies that can generally be considered professional soldiers is about 1% of the population.

This 1% was not the general infantry, but specialized troops such as cavalry and archers' cavalry.

However, in the case of the Chinese, they often conscripted up to 10% of the population; 1% was a standing army and professional soldiers, and the remaining 9% was a reserve force that was usually engaged in agriculture and operated as needed.

The requirement that they be normally engaged in agriculture made it possible to recruit as high as 10% of the population.

Aintorian's 14,000-strong force was a mixture of the two.

Today, the Lunan Kingdom has a population of about 10 million.

And the population of Aintorian territory is 220,000.

Entering a period of warfare, the intention was to prepare 20,000 men to increase the regular army to 10,000 men and to engage in agriculture.

The primary goal was to have a combined force of 30,000 men.

The problem is that, being a border region, it has a smaller population than other territories.

However, recently it had shown a big change.

The original population was around 180,000, but thanks to the tax exemption policy, plus my fame, the population had increased by 40,000 due to the immigration of refugees from the northern part of the Lunan Kingdom, where the war was taking place.

Even after the tax exemption period is over, the population will continue to grow if the taxes are reduced moderately and the land is cultivated. Borders are always dangerous, but in times of warfare, such problems arise virtually everywhere you go and people will choose safe places.

If you give people confidence that they are safe, the population will grow.

Once the population reaches 300,000, we can operate a force of 30,000 men.

This is the first goal.

Do you want to do a draft?

In the meantime, we moved the system toward the first goal, because we could operate a force of 20,000 men.

Who will do the draft?

It is a little interesting to note here that the higher the military strength and command, the more effective it is in increasing the level of training, and the higher the popularity within the affiliation of the conscripting general, the less likely it is that the popular sentiment towards the lord will fall.

[Hadyn, popularity within the affiliation 90]

Jinto: 50]

Bente The popularity within the company 70]

Jusen: 50]

Givens: popularity within their affiliation 50]

Miline 50]

The reason why the popularity of the newly joined vassals is 50 is because of the popularity within the territory.

It is no surprise that he has only been in the territory for a short time.

The expectation was that Yuseen's affinity and good personality would soon make him more popular within the organization.

Even though he had high expectations, the only one suitable for the draft in his current state was Hadin.

Would you leave the draft to Hadyn?

[6,000 draftees are available]

[Forecasted Decline in Public Sentiment 5↓]

I chose Haddin and this message appeared

I thought about it for a while, but this time I decided to do it in person.

The most recent war that Aintorian experienced.

And the 70,000-strong army of Nalja that invaded the Lunan Kingdom.

It's time to have enough of a sense of urgency.

I decided to call on that emotion and see.

Nalja keeps adding to her army. Soon, the time of war is coming. The time will come when you must protect your families. Of course, when that time comes, I will do my best to protect Aintorian. But I can't do it alone. I need you to protect your families and Aintorian by yourselves. This draft is for Aintorian's protection. So I will send you to war, but I promise you one thing: I will lead you in that fight. But I promise you one thing: I will lead the way in that battle. I will be in the front of you all!

The popularity within my organization is pretty good.

The times are the times.

So, as a result of conscription in the square, I made this declaration to the people of my domain.

[popular sentiment has risen by 2]

Surprisingly, the people's mindset went up by 2 as well.

Thanks to this, the number of troops increased steadily by 6,000 to 20,000.

This 20,000 troops were reorganized and training began anew.

He left the training to Givens, Benteh, and Yusen, and let Jinto help with it.

The number of vassals is small.

So they all had to work.

He was going to choose a regular army from among them and pay them a stipend. The training of 10,000 vocational soldiers.

Out of the 10,000 thus selected, 2,000, who could be considered elite, would be selected to create an elite force.

Although there are no knights in this game, I plan to build up these 2,000 men into an elite unit like the Knights of the Order and give it a name.

Fortunately, war funds are not a problem, so it's a race against time.

This was the part where we should thank our Aintolian ancestors.

After doing this much, all we need to do is to wait for the training level of our troops to increase.

So, do we just wait for it? Of course not.

Because what is really important is rather the external part.

In fact, this external part was of some importance when you think about it a year later.

The situation is very quiet in the Narja Kingdom Army, as history has shown.

Its history has been rewritten, but the Great Conquest will not begin so easily.

The Naluyah Kingdom's pride and joy is its elite troops, led by each of the ten warlords.

They are named after the ten generals, each with a flamboyant name, and are quite troublesome in the game. This troublesome entity must now be dealt with in reality, which is not a game.

No matter how much you increase your troops, the level of troops of a mere territory is different from that of a kingdom class.

Therefore, what is needed is strategy and tactics.

In other words, you have to use your head.

If you fight purely on the basis of military strength, the chances of victory are zero.

Of course, to use the head, you need an army that is small in size but still serves as a limb.

That's what we're training now.

At the same time, we are going to prepare for the external world.

Because of the strategy to expand its power as if the Chinese Three Kingdoms.

Soon the news of the war will be heard.

Not a war involving the Kingdom of Nalja and the Lunan Kingdom.

It's a war that took place between the countries of the South.

Originally, the Lunan Kingdom had already been destroyed when this war broke out.

The Narya Kingdom was not involved in preparing for the Great Conquest.

But history has changed.

Due to the relationship between the war-torn country and the Lunan Kingdom, something interesting was going to happen.

If that happens, the part involved comes out.

The opportunity to lay a foundation, though not quite as big as the three measures under the sun, was coming.
