I Said Make My Abilities Average!

"Again, was it..."

In the royal palace, the king had received a report from the official man he was sending.

Such is not the case, such as the opportunity for the less privileged to report directly to the King, and the official, who is a civilian, spoke all over for the King's pleasure. What Lykes didn't even say. He then altered what he had not confirmed himself, either by speculation or as the king wished, and reported it in a conclusive tone.

... I mean, 'The goddess or something hasn't shown up. That's a conclusion I made on my own, made up by a heavily damaged force commander to escape responsibility, it's a madness'.

"No matter how many demons you push off the border, there won't be much more damage over there. On the contrary, the damage over here is enormous, and the soldiers seem to speak falsehoods in order to escape their responsibility.

All right, let's go back to invasion immediately. Now proceed with the army across the border, to the edge of the Kingdom of Marlene, and drive the demonic flock out of the woods completely!

"" "" "Eh..." ""

Surprises were raised not only by the men of the official, but also by the nobles and soldiers who were on the jury.

"Heh, Your Majesty, the military's cross-border actions are considered (all) invasions! Running under implicit understandings like before…"

To the words of a senior officer who seemed slightly in a hurry, the king said openly.

"What's wrong with that?

"What?"

"Expand our country's territory. In the meantime, we'll merge that forest with the territory beyond it. Prepare him immediately!

"Ha..., ha!

It is a war.

Expand the territory of the motherland and acquire the wealth and workforce of other countries. It's an invasion operation, not a defense battle, so you get a loot and a new territory. That was that they would be given to those who mentioned the handles. The addition of territory to the existing aristocracy or the emergence of a new titled and aristocrat......

I was surprised by the story too suddenly, but that was never a bad story for the nobles.

It is mainly the general soldiers and the peasant militias they have gathered who die in battle. Not so many senior noble officers command from the rear die in battle, and if in crisis, surrender is all you have to do.

That way, we can safely return to the country if we pay the ransom later. Even while in captivity, they are treated politely if they are nobles. They don't imitate each other funny because they are 'Tomorrow is Us'. So compared to the advantages if you win, those possibilities are not a great disadvantage either.

Relations with neighboring countries were not very good, but the public assessment was that suddenly they were not enough to start invading. Therefore, the neighboring kingdom of Marlene, too, should have been delayed in responding to the sudden invasion.

"It prevented that forest from becoming a natural barrier and, over the years, a territorial dispute with each other. But that's not until today either. 'In front of the natural barrier, put down the force to protect it', that is the basis of the military.

If the centre of the forest is the border line, the conditions are the same for each other. But if we take all the forest to this side, we can make effective use of it as a barrier. And then we'll push the front line and cut out the forests with the harvesting resources, the mountain ranges with the mineral resources and all the way around the mafans ahead!

"" "" "Oh!!

"It seems that..."

Pauline says so in a spooked manner, looking at the stickers of mercenary recruitment at the Guild Branch in Wang Du.

There would be no new movement unless that official reported it, so a line of "Red Vows", which slowly moved to King's Capital while collecting and hunting for the main material, was affixed next to it as it was checking the information and request boards at the guild branch. That, the sticker.

"Mercenary Recruitment. Meal payment, combat allowance and merit allowance available. Details are available in the National Army mercenary department."

Of course, it doesn't say anything about crossing the border line, etc. We all know that the information here is out on the side of the Kingdom of Marlene. Of course, the army and the royal palace.

So it was only this time, as always, a recruitment that made me think that I would just push it out to the border line as a 'rearrangement of the last demon extrusion operation that ended in an unintentional result'.

It's not a misstatement, and military action is not something that hunters and mercenaries talk about. Besides, at the time of application, some explanation and hints would be given. "Possible Interpersonal Combat" or something......

If you don't come to a pin with that information given to the extent that it doesn't violate the contract, it was your own responsibility.

"I didn't know you would dignify stickers for 'Freedom Request' calls that don't go through the Alliance next to the Alliance's Request Board..."

Mavis also says that in a spooky tone, but if you're recruiting hunters as mercenaries, sticking them here is definitely the most effective way to do it. And if the royal palace tells you to 'let it stick here', you won't be able to say no.

Since the Alliance does not intervene in employment contracts, it cannot be said that, to this extent, it is contrary to the principle that 'the Hunter Alliance does not intervene in war'.

Of course, mercenaries in office are officially making requests via the Mercenary Guild. Until now, I had not spoken to the mercenary guild because I did not envisage interpersonal matches, except this time.

Of course, there will be other recruitments for city roaming, vagrants, etc. Send it out before regular soldiers and peasant militias, as disposable personnel.

"Ah, stop it, stop it!

"It will be your Buddha before he gets rid of you and you get your money."

"Besides, you guys are gonna get fucked before the fight starts. You're on your way to the next country!

That's what all the hunters who stayed with advised me to say to the face of the "Red Oath" watching the stickers.

"And..."

And one hunter who suddenly whispers.

"This time, it's me." Red Request. "During the last extrusion of the demon, they came out with 'Things You Should Never Hand Out'. Inside the army, the story is denied, and soldiers and forcibly recruited peasant militias are punished for spreading rumors, but it doesn't matter to us.

The hunters and city roaming people who were there last time are touching each other everywhere, so this time, the decent guys won't be joining. The only people who participate are the ones who don't have the hazard detection skills, the ones who can't afford to eat up and pick a job, and the idiots. So there are few participants other than the soldiers and the peasants of forced recruitment, which means that they will certainly be at the head of the force.

... Well, I think the ladies are likely to be forced to do 'another assignment'...

So, you're gonna take it? The job...... "

"I won't take it!

Answer immediately, Lena.

"I like that. Well, it doesn't matter if you take that request, but still, soldiers heading to battlefields where they might die are concerned, and some are getting fucked up. You better not walk away where there are bad soldiers.

After all, the best thing to do is to move to another country. Also, stop by on the way home. "

"Are you glad you didn't take that... It's easier to stay inside your enemies and get information, and it's easier to snag around…"

Pauline, the evil one, said so when she was looking for a place to stay after the Alliance branch, but Lena shook her neck to the side.

"No, you can't. If you're officially contracted and hired, you can't betray your employer unless that's obvious illegality, breach of contract, or coercion to act out of contract.

It's not illegal to hire mercenaries for war, and whether or not to declare war is a matter between states, and it has nothing to do with the mercenaries you hire. If the soldiers attacked you, it's a personal matter, and unless your employer ordered it, it's not about the contract.

So unless an officer or something shields you from your identity or status and forces you to do something illegal or non-contractual, you won't be able to betray your employer, when you sign a formal contract. That's not good, is it?

"Ugh..."

Pauline seemed to be the type to tolerate both lies and betrayal for the right thing, but Lena seemed to be the only type to adhere to the norm as a hunter.

And Mavis, needless to say, as a knight, shameful acts, shameful words and deeds are unacceptable types.

Miles are......

"Mr. Lena, 'It's It, This Is This', 'Make a shelf in your heart!' That's right!

"This is weird!!

Anyway, the 'proposal to be hired by the other side' seemed to be rejected.

"Well, it's unacceptable that people die or get hurt because of us."

Seeing the miles saying that with a face like that, I thought it would be like that, it was the three Lenas......
