Isekai Apocalypse MYNOGHRA ~The Conquest of the World Starts With the Civilisation of Ruin~
Lesson XII: Home Affairs (2)
It was expected that some assurance could also be obtained with regard to the production of food by building the 'tree of human meat'.
Since the opening of agricultural land is also carried out in parallel, there will be no particular problems unless the population increases rapidly.
Whilst the 'Eternal Nations' and this world are very different in their own right, it is roughly the same thing to keep an eye out for when one considers the prosperity of a nation.
In other words, it is an enlargement plan, a domestic development plan, an armaments plan and a research plan.
Of these, the expansion plan has been put on hold to prioritize the restoration of national power, and the domestic development plan has been to increase food productivity, mainly the "tree of human flesh".
What remains is armaments and research.
He turned in his usual member, the state operator, and the Takudou people were still meeting that day to decide on Minogula's policy.
"So today's agenda is about research, right? I don't have a lot of effort to crack it at the moment, but I was wondering if it still matters..."
"Yes, research creates new technologies. New technologies make a huge leap forward in the power of the state at all times. It's urgent for us, small countries, to acquire advanced technology."
"I thought you were right. So, Lord Atu, what technology do you want me to study from?
"That would be up to magic technology!
"Exciting"
"Ha-ha-ha, that's exciting, my king"
Atu happily proclaimed just waiting.
Takudo and Atu have extraordinary thoughts on their internal affairs. It therefore possesses some sort of maddening character that constantly seeks to conduct internal affairs even in such a sudden state of affairs of transworld migration.
It was still unclear where the source of that madness was, but it could be a blessing for the Mortar old men Dark Elves not to say anything about world conquest or the annihilation of all life forms anyway.
"Oh! There was a little bit of magic in the eagle, too, and it gets a little exciting when it comes to new magic technology. So, what technology is it to research?
Old Mortar hasn't been too nervous lately, even before the king.
Of course, I feel the same fear and awe, but above all, I no longer feel the same bottom-cold fear that I had when I first became evil and under the king's command.
I am therefore also speaking in a relatively lackluster manner on this occasion.
There may have been some reason why Wang Taru Takudo did not talk and Atu, who is relatively easy to talk to, is talking in the main.
Takedou is thus increasingly applauded for loneliness and communal handicaps.
That said, the meeting proceeds. Of course, Takudou has agreed to it.
It was about the study of witchcraft, and it was also the most important item they attached importance to.
"Military magic, right? It seems that your magic is usually used only between individuals or in a mass battle of dozens or so. Military Magic expands this scope to allow large-scale combat by clashes between the military and magic to exercise influence over massive lands. I'm going to need a mana source for this... well I'll explain the details later"
Old Mortar accidentally listens to Atu talking about rap.
Originally he was also one who aspired to the end of witchcraft. Since I became the head of the tribe, I have been chased by various jobs to drill magic, but I still have a desire to peek into the abyss of magic.
He is also proud to be able to handle quite a bit of witchcraft, but that is in the battle between individuals. Of course, if it's him, Atu is right. It's possible to incinerate dozens of rogues with flame-based magic at once, but if it's not a miracle, we can't raise that range to the military scale.
What is the world of demons that the king knows? I wasn't looking forward to the wisdom of a world I haven't seen yet.
"Now pick a few of you who are good at witchcraft with your research. Let them develop new technologies. Hey, it's not that hard of a technology. You'll be able to develop it in no time."
"Ha ha, we will now move quickly to the selection of personnel and the construction of the laboratory"
"It would be good. Well, you've been busy..."
Potty and grunting atu.
Hearing her words, Takudo nodded and raised the throne again as usual.

A research item has been selected.
Research in progress! [Military Magic]
―――――――――――――――――
In this way, an obvious policy was also decided with regard to research.
In the current situation, where the size of the country is small, researching very advanced science and technology would be the most difficult choice because the effort involved would be enormous if it were ineffective.
With that in mind, Old Mortar puts in some detail about that, this, and the selection of personnel.
"And the dust is military. What policy does Lord Atu have in mind?
"Well, naturally to increase it, you can't be too aggressive in the current situation. The army doesn't generate anything because of all the resources, magic and maintenance costs. Why does that exist?
"That said, we cannot protect ourselves from external enemies without an army. The current number of warriors is about a dozen. Honestly, as an army that protects the king, there is not enough power... is it possible to create some powerful subordination with the help of the king while overtaking?
"Hmm. That's a subordination in the sense that you don't detain the people in military service.
For once, there are quite a few means, but either way, it consumes a lot of magic and food, and most importantly, it can stand out when you create an army. You can't afford that, honestly. "
"Is there an urgent need to increase national power first…? We will notify all warriors to be strict in their training."
Gear, the warrior chief, answered with a slightly more difficult look
Atu, who at present had decided that he did not need to focus that much on the military, nor did he bother to aggressively increase his power, behave with that attitude? and shake his neck.
But eventually I turned my words to Gear with a good look at what I could think of.
"Oh, you guys care about the chaser. From what I've heard, there could be a bunch of bounty hunters or something?
"Yes, there can be no march of troops held by the coalition on boulders, but I, who are quite well known as warrior chief, and Old Mortar, among others, have a prize on them. And a dark elf without human rights will be gold."
"Hmm..."
Atu thought a little and sent his gaze to Takudo to turn to him for judgment.
It is within our expectations that a chaser will come to them.
And embraced them as citizens, including by dealing with them. Therefore, I am not going to say anything about the chaser now.
The problem is dealt with. They thought it would be easier for them to decide on future military enhancement policies, including future aspects, although the current force would not seem to be a problem.
"I'll make a hero."
Atu, who received the king's word, nods loudly.
It was certainly the least costly and, above all, less risky if that way.
Atu explains on behalf of the king to the dark elves, who are not sure what the king's words are intended to be.
"Lord Atu, what the hell is a hero?
"There are heroes in Mynogura who will be under the King's command. They are all powerful and bucket things with all the screws off their heads. There are so many limitations that everything is not enough to summon them all as it stands, but it would still be possible for one or so of them"
"What is a hero... so powerful? No, I don't doubt the great king and his men."
A hero is a unique unit that exists in the "Eternal Nations".
It goes without saying that Atu also belongs to the hero and is Takudo's favorite.
Because they are so powerful, they work enough in the game to decide how to win or lose by that operation, but of course the dark elves who don't know that just put a question mark on their heads.
"Heroes are cheats"
"Yes, heroes are cheats."
"Chi, what is a cheat?
"Heroes have been powerful since the beginning. Besides, they have a nature that grows stronger over time, and the more you leave them alone, the more powerful they become."
"The more you let it go, the stronger it gets..."
Old Mortar is stunned by the words.
Often on the battlefield, something smiled at by the goddess of war and good fortune is lucky enough to survive the battle.
Such a person was sometimes called a hero in praise of his accomplishments.
But if you were born with that quality, and you would be more powerful than you have been experiencing without doing anything, that would be exactly what you would call a hero.
And if such a warrior commands the front line, he can no longer measure how much power the army will raise.
Just leave it alone and you'll be strong. The dark elves on the spot feel an irresistible excitement for heroes with abilities out of common sense.
"In other words, in a state where secrecy is needed, and where there is not enough power in the country to sustain the army, generating a hero is the need for national defense."
Typically, forming an army requires enormous costs and time, as well as personnel.
But if "Eternal Nations" prepares the proud hero, the problem will be solved easily.
It's enough to defend the nation if they have a powerful ability, and the cost is for one, unlike the game. Loyalty is also high and above all discreet.
And inconspicuous means you can buy time.
Time works in their favor. As long as you have time, heroes become powerful.
In other words, it is possible to be a small country with little national power but equal to a great power.
It was a pioneering road that had felt the difference between this world and the game in various respects, but in this respect it could be said that the system of 'Eternal Nations' was working in its favour.
"Oh! What a dependant! If such a strong man were in the army, morale would climax and soldiers would use their power many times more than usual! It's gear!
"Uhm! You're right, old Mortar. The power of what stands in the line is, namely, the power of the army! Examples of strong and courageous commanders overcoming and winning a number of disadvantages cannot be overstated in the past. To be able to summon such a man is a boulder, our country, our king!
If there are heroes, they can be glanced at by other countries and crossed to some extent. At least the multiple states present in the southern part of the continent of Idraggia will no longer have the kind of things they come to offer in a detour.
The strong in times of war greatly shapes the morale of the battlefield.
A ride with the other strong, for example. Martial courage on the battlefield. Sounds like a loud voice.
Less mental damage they do to the opponent's army.
One thousand is what I used to say. If a hero is in the army, he multiplies that power.
That is how Old Mortar and the Warrior Chief Gears judged.
That's how I got it wrong.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm one of the Heroes. And you seem a little mistaken, so I'll correct you, but we're heroes."
Atu releasing a much more outrageous word.
Everyone is surprised, but convinced that she deserves to be the hero who serves the side of the great king.
Then, for some strange reason, Atu rises from his table seat and walks towards Stasta and the woods outside the royal palace.
A simple royal palace with no walls and a conference table.
I can also confirm the appearance of Atu, who left the royal palace because it is not huge...
Eventually she stops quietly and suddenly starts to stretch her creepy tentacles out of its back.
Its elongated tentacles resemble gizzards and strangely moving halibut.
That moment when the dark elves who saw it remembered once again that the girl known as Atu was what would bring her into the presence of darkness......,
The trees that were in front of them were literally swept away.
"It's called the Hero because it has the power to destroy armies on one horse."
"" "Nooooooo!?
Trees that break as they overlap with vacillations.
More than a dozen trees broke from their roots with a wave of tentacles she unleashed.
Old Mortar roars unintentionally at its incredible aggression, and Gear instantly understands and opens his mouth to the power that was put into an earlier swing.
They were mistaken. I was thinking of the existence of a hero only in my personal sphere.
When you are an individual with great martial arts skills, you say you are unrivaled in heaven.
Heroes were not such easy creatures.
A monster just comparable to a single army. One elite army walking on the battlefield. Extremely powerful to overshadow a war situation.
That was the hero that Minogula was proud of.
"If you can accumulate power at this rate, a nation to the extent of the area around the Great Curse Realm can cross without any problems. And the two great nations are far north of the land. As things stand, there's no reason to send a massive army."
How it works, store the tentacles that were swaying every bit until earlier, and Atu returning with Stasta in the same way.
The face of knowing her power greets her with surprise.
"This isn't even a hundredth of the full season yet...... the power of heroes, have you thought about it?
"Hey, what... what a wonderful help!
"What's so powerful about this! Once again, we understand the power of Lord Atu and, more importantly, the greatness of Lord Ira-Takt!
"Hehe! I will destroy all Takudo's enemies. So don't worry about the military. I don't have a problem with the status quo, even if I'm not willing to strike out."
Sit on a chair and stretch your chest.
That's just the look on your face. But surely with her, she would be cheap when it comes to the power of Mynogura.
On the contrary, I am convinced that no matter what chaser comes, she would easily destroy it.
The dark elves' eyes bear the colour of joy. The grief they had was cleared up again by the power of the great king.
"Atu."
"Yes, my king!
A voice comes from the king to Atu, who was proudly flustered.
Atu, who only made the mood even more upward, turns to his beloved king and replies cheerfully when he smiles all the time with the innocence of a girl.
But back to back with her thoughts I thought I'd get a reward word.
"Clean it up properly."
"... Huh"
The king said, "Why are you destroying the forest on your own?" was. "
Everyone stays here and calms down.
Honestly, I didn't need to destroy the forest anywhere.
Rather, I would have just said that I had more extra work to do given the hassle of cleaning up.
Atu walks to the trees he himself destroyed as he softened.
Old Mortar and Gear decided to call in the Warriors and clean up with them because they couldn't wait.
Atu cleans up the lumber with tears as he scolds me because I thought I could get compliments. Old Mortar thinks as he stares at her back like that.
This girl alone has the same power as an army of nations, and even more so, it is growing every day.
With that fact rebuffed in their heads, the Dark Elves were to clean up the trees with unspeakable expressions.
