"Thank you very much for this battle, Arus. Everything seems to have been a dangerous victory."

"Thank you, Leon. Well, the terms were good. House Rubić was barely functional in advance, and House Hermes attacked without showing proud defense. And all we had to do to get to the last Bootica house was make recommendations for surrender."

"That would be a big winter march. So, what are you going to do? I would like to see if I intend to continue to move my army every winter to take over the aristocratic domain."

"That's not true. We can't march in the winter, but it's hard to move the army. Above all, an army that doesn't work unless I summon Ice Spirit will no longer qualify as an organization."

Gallo Calendar 2 years.

The Fontana army, which began to move shortly after the New Year's celebration, succeeded in putting three noble territories under its control with the momentum of bamboo rupture.

With that success, we will be able to mass-produce victories if we move our troops in the winter as well.

Normally everyone would think so.

But it's actually not that sweet.

There are only a limited number of Servants named Valkyrie who are comfortable with the cold and heat.

And in moving people, I'm relieving the cold with the ice sperm I called in [Ice Sperm Summon].

But it's just relaxing, not that it's never cold.

If the weather is good, you can rest there at the worst, but not during the winter.

We need to think carefully about where we can rest and eat beforehand.

Besides, even if I can cope with the cold, it will be difficult to get away from me too much.

In addition, heavy troops carrying food are also burdensome.

This time, there were no problems with the subsequent movements because the noble realm, which was not far away, had acquired a place where it was easy to manage food immediately after the Rubić attack.

In short, it is hard to fight in winter.

I can't, but I can't rely on that.

However, we did not know that winter marches would be difficult.

But why did you attack other noble territories this time?

There was also an opinion that there might be a way to lock up in the shell like a shell when Carmus's defensive wall was built.

Nevertheless, I stepped into the war.

There is, of course, a reason for that.

This is to show the other aristocracy that it is possible to cut some aristocracy even in the winter.

As it stands, Fontana was independent as a kingdom, but there were many assessments that she was still inferior to other great nobles.

But never in winter.

Rather, it can be seen as a powerful country that cannot be ignored.

And if this appeal is successful, we will be able to take the next step.

Negotiation or manipulation.

If even the Allies have a strong defense force to retreat, and if they find out that they have a terrible invasion force in winter, other nobles will not be able to ignore the Fontana kingdom.

Alternatively, some aristocracy will come up to us in search of shelter.

That way, we might be able to expand our forces without fighting each other.

"I think that's a good policy, too. After all, we cannot say that there is no instability immediately after independence. Speaking of which, what about the newly acquired territory?

I see. Do you need to make a firm decision there? In the meantime, House Boutika will be relieved to receive it. I barely resisted and surrendered as we asked. "

"That's right. I think that's fine. It should be a good example that surrendering to other aristocracies will not reduce territory. But the Rubić and Hermes will confiscate their territory, won't they, Ars?

"That's right. Then we seal Erance of Burma and Wagner of Kirilla. Elance Border Country will enter the former Rubitch realm and Wagner will enter the Hermes realm as a new Border Country."

"And Lord Wagner? So you're moving the ex-Uluk Knight from the Uluk District?

I see. Let them do their best in the new heavens and earth. And the territory they leave will be under the royal control of Fontana. "

"... only the territory of the royal family will grow together. I hope you're not dissatisfied."

"Well, instead, the Border Master will have the right to make his own cavalry and cut off the territory, so let him do his best."

"Speaking of which, aren't we going to extend the walls of the Carmus district? I think that would make the defense quite different."

"Barca can't build a wall on his own in Border Country. If there's a request from the other side, we'll start negotiating the amount."

"... I don't know what that means. You're a terrible person, Ars."

I don't know.

Some may be worried about being given territory outside the current border wall.

But it was only natural that there were no walls in the first place, and the territory was not dwindling.

Besides, Elance and Wagner will work hard if they are free to cut.

Elance said he wanted territory for a long time, and so would Wagner.

Takes responsibility as the Xylia family that triggered Urk's demise, aiming to improve the position of the Knight of Urk.

There should be no dissatisfaction with acquiring new territory.

And the territory they left will be reorganized under the direct control of Royal Fontana.

Basically, it will be ruled by deputies.

But this may not be enough.

There is more power than ever before for a country called Fontana to protect and maintain its territory.

That's why I decided to start restructuring not only the territory, but also the Fontana army.
