Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Raul opens his mouth cautiously, taking a moment to review Ricaien's story.

“We've stopped the conflict, but we know it can happen at any time. In fact, His Majesty is constantly expanding the power of the Cavalry Minister, the head of the enemy unit, and he has heard in politics that his troops are increasing by a little, but also by a little. ”

Then Anton opened his mouth.

“Was it last year? I think I heard a similar story when I went to the Luo Kingdom in the south. It was that the king of the Luo Kingdom was expanding the enemy's budget while strictly prohibiting disputes between lands. ”

Forbidden territorial war means that it will eliminate the military consumption inside. On the other hand, it was like expanding an army.

After hearing the two men's stories, Lycaen continued to talk again.

“Yes, they're not giving up the Acronian Mountains, they're preparing for war to make their own. But it's not just between Bren and Luo. Raoul, have you heard anything similar about the Acronian conflict? ”

Raul nods.

“I heard that the Republic of Morellia in the southern continent was also scouring the western kingdom of Kelven due to the spread of the southern desert, which is also now silent. Other than……. ”

Raul tries to tell you something, but suddenly he claps his hands as if he's remembering something.

“Then again, so is the kingdom of Delos. Stanen said that the provocation against the Kingdom had stopped at some point. ”

A compensatory explanation came from Anton's mouth.

“I understand that the Kingdom of Delos is an inland country and that the Empire to the west has invaded the Kingdom of Stanen for maritime trade. ”

After the story of the three, Lycaen was spoken to again.

“That's not all. The Gronis Empire is also an inland country with no oceans. They were longing for trade with the western continent in the country, and they were aiming for the Kingdom of Cheslonia and the Kingdom of Kelven to secure an ocean port, and that stopped. In the fall, the Blessed Alliance in the north of the PerGrande Mountains has traversed the mountains to plunder their food, and for many years such plundering has been quiet. In other words, the act of war has disappeared throughout the continent. Peace now is a peace made that way. But it is a peace that holds the possibility of war at any time. ”

After Lycaen's long description, everyone nods cautiously. Obviously, I did. It is not peace that has come as the relations of the countries in conflict have improved, but it is only quiet when the war stops.

Lycaen looks at people's reactions and asks for Raul.

“Raoul, haven't you heard about it at the Academy? ”

“I remember hearing that. It started with the Blissen Tribe, just beyond the PerGrande Mountains. One day, the crossing of the mountains stopped in the Blissen Tribe. At first, the Empire thought it had gone quietly, and by the time it was two or three years, it had started to feel anxious. And when they did their research, they found out that the Blissen Tribe was discussing the formation of countries, not just coalitions. The Empire, which had determined that if they were to become a unified nation, would have a more powerful military force than ever before, began to stop provoking the Kingdom of Cheslonia and the Kingdom of Kelven, which had been heating up to prepare for that. ”

“Yes. And as the empire began to grow in power, other kingdoms that felt uneasy stopped taunting other countries and increased their forces just in case." This means that if a conflict is started in one place, it will continue in another place. ”

Anton, who was reviewing Lycaen's story, asked curiously.

“If you look at the entire continent, there are conflicts everywhere, but if you look at the countries, the original conflicts start again, don't they? ”

“Yes, but the problem is an excessive increase. It could be the empire, it could be the Kingdom of Bren, it could be Delos, it could be Morellia, it could be Kelven, but the moment they turn their eyes away from each other, their own wars in each region can turn into a chaos biting each other. Perhaps I'm not the only one making these predictions, and some places are already preparing for them. And I intend to. ”

Anton cautiously asked.

“Does that mean that Earl Frost is also going to walk the gangplank route from now on? ”

“Of course. I don't intend to enjoy war, but I won't let my territory get in the way." ”

“However, there are challenges on a territorial level. The biggest obstacle is that unless there's a war, the number of armed forces must not exceed one percent of the population in the region. ”

“For now, we should try to find a way to raise an army of our own. There's a lot of convenience in the world. ”

“For example, what do you mean……. ”

“Don't make me repeat myself. That's not for me to figure out, that's for you to figure out. ”

At that moment, Anton hardened his face. Then I looked embarrassed and saw Julia, Wolf and Feron beside me. But the three of them turned away at the same time.

‘Those bastards……. ’

At that time, Raul said carefully.

“But there's a bit of a problem with that. ”

“What problem? ”

“Money. It's inevitable to raise an army. The money that Earl Leon had plundered and stockpiled for his colonies has gone steadily to the Earl and is now at a leisure, but it will be difficult if he maintains the 40% tax rate set by Earl Jeon. ”

“Well, if it's money you don't have to worry about. ”

“Yes?”

“We'll find out soon enough, so let's not worry about the money... Anton, let's start talking right now. ”

“Yes, Earl. ”

“First of all, except for the original Earl of Prokers, the Leon Confederacy is completely disbanded. And let's recruit again. ”

It was difficult in many ways to make two armies that were originally enemies of one another into one army. If so, it was the right decision to disband one side and then resume recruitment, and maintain a relatively highly trained Earl Frost and disband the Leon Bird Army.

“Very well. In that case, it would be wise to continue your training as Earl Frost." ”

Traditional exercises were physical exercises that were going up and down mountains all day long. It was already proven how powerful the strength and endurance it created were in combat. Lycaen nods.

“Of course I do. At the same time, select your existing knights in the same way, and make them the tradition of Earl Frost. ”

Traditional methods include promoting soldiers with enough stamina to be able to withstand knight training. Anton nods.

“It will be a motivational and motivational way. ”

“And there will be no more special features like you or Julia. It should also be a tradition that you can never become a knight unless you start in the army. ”

Given that the command seems to have already been thought of, it seems that they were already thinking about the basic development direction of the territorial army.

It was definitely a good way. Earl Frost's current training status was better than any other army. It is because I am well aware that I am open to becoming a knight even if trained well.

In addition, the fact that you have to start as a British soldier to become a knight means that everyone has an opportunity. If this is made traditional, Earl Frost will be more powerful than any other army. In fact, this is something only Earl Frost would recognize.

Anton smiles and replies with a fabulous expression.

“Haha, we're lucky. All right, so let's start by holding the basic skeleton like that, and then we'll figure out how else to build an army. ”

After completing a basic story about Anton and his army, Lycaen opened his mouth to Raul.

“Raul, organize the administrative tasks of the territory by department so that they can be done efficiently. If I leave the territory, there won't be any problems with the operation of the territory. ”

“Yes? That means……. ”

Generally, there is a large division of governance on a territorial scale that does not see work.

The commander of the Knights split into two branches of the municipality, and the gatekeeper dedicated his duties to various diplomatic affairs.

Although several clerks are placed under the administrative officer, the final administration is in the form of one clerk, after all. It is because the operation of the territory is relatively straightforward at the scale of a typical erl. Rather, there are aspects of efficiency because the work system is simplified.

However, Lycaen tells us to divide and manage it. Raul asked as if to check.

“In short, you want me to reorganize like the royal court, royal court, palace, cashier and hostile? ”

“No, there is a palace or a butler in the palace, so you must devote yourself to it and reduce its role and authority greatly. Instead, I want you to refine the job of the tailor and cashier. The enemy also consults with four Anton, Yulia, Wolf and Feron to divide the work further. ”

“Hmmm... I see. ”

Raul nods, groaning. It is because I know that it is never easy.

“How long can this last? ”

“Well, that's ……. ”

Raul blurred his words and was unable to answer. At a glance, I could revise it based on the detailed work in the five Royal departments. However, it was not easy to get them all to move organically from an equal position.

Lycaen, who hesitated over Raul, said that he cut him to pieces.

“In two days, make a rough outline. ”

“Two days?”

“Yes."
