Kakei Senki Wo Kakageyo!

That only looked like an abandoned castle at first glance, and Lauri began to make serious observations of the surroundings. Summer grass is depressing here and there. The border between the dry soil and the crumbling walls is boundless. Once stubborn in nature, the fort now embraced wind and snow and was like a shell out.

(We came the wrong way to the bandit's Negijo... nothing, right?

I cannot deny the possibility of disgust. It is a tight rauli on my cheek. He carries only the smallest of his luggage, and he's not wearing any dimensions. It seemed to me that he was accustomed to the security of Hellevy territory, and Lauri had to be strongly aware of where he was now.

Marquis territory of Maryaranta on the north side of the central part of the Kingdom of Aslia, of which the area is located to the north. When it comes to the biggest town in the region, the Chitoga Town is it, showing its prosperity as a logistics hub in the waterway stronghold where the East Dragon River and its tributaries connect. The great river carries north-south and tributaries east-west… its vibrant landscape was familiar to Lauri as well.

Going south from such a big town goes into somewhat steep terrain. Since mountains and forests also appear to wave in the eyes of people traveling on the water, it is called "land surface" and so on. It's a land where travellers don't even come close. Everyone chooses to pay change and be rocked by the ship.

The reasons why it can be avoided are obvious. The roads are extremely poor because the streets are left to be destroyed. If we go south here, the road to the King's Capital opens flat… The land surface is an ancient battlefield in which the Royal Athletic Army and the Eberian Imperial Army waged fierce battles. Now that the front line has become the source of the disaster, it is now a land that is no longer viewed by the convenience of water transport.

But Lauri traveled through its land waters. I can't help it because the destination is there. Among the military bases built large and small during the war, it is temporarily a fort that the King himself is said to have garrisoned with the Knights. After the Imperial Army took it, the name was only inscribed on the map.

(You can't do it on a boulder... yeah, you can't)

One flag is not flipped, so this is Lauri, who is serious about going home. Though it's good now that the sun is high, there's going to be an unexpected danger at night. Lauri imagined the role of the bad guys in the picture story, the witches and ghosts. This fortress at night would be worthy of such a presence.

Let's at least check the main entrance of the fort... Lauri struggled through the poor scaffolding and discovered a big man sleeping nagging with a sword in that windy spot that collapsed and was also the main gateway.

"Oiva!"

"Hmm? Oh, Lauri, are you here?"

A great stretch was unleashed into the blue sky. If he stood up, he would just look up and be prestigious. For Lauri, who has no fighting power, the way he represents strength in nature in this way is only made into love.

"Is that it? Did you come alone? I wish I could bring you about an escort."

"It's a pedestrian habit, I like to travel with Stasta alone. But I was just regretting it. It's better than listening, this land surface..."

"Right. It would have been a very troublesome place to fight. A good number of mercenaries have named themselves on this land."

Rauli looked around at his surroundings as he followed Oiva, who would lead the way as normal. I see. If we're going to fight on stage here, it's imperative that we brawl. Noisy clues seemed to jump out of the shadows of the grass bushes at this moment as well.

"Did Beltran also fight here?

"I don't know... the people who raised noble heads here are dead. When they caught me, they killed my name. He's a slaved mouth, so, well, maybe he didn't work here."

It is Oiva, who speaks of the life and death of the battlefield. If that's the reality of seeking merit with a sword spear, something terribly vain in Lauri. Because the merchant's way of life is something that will take a little longer. For example, the town of Chitoga was there before and after the war, and the owner was the one who replaced it, but it was never destroyed. The fort, on the other hand, is about to sink into a sea of grass.

(The brave man is dead, Salomon is dead, and only the kingdom is still there. So the dragon's about to be feathered... what's the end of Marco...?

Even remembering the odd cold, Lauri squeezed her mouth tight and shook it off. I thought it was cowardice to think bad about everything just because the landscape I expected was betrayed.

"... but what can I say, it looks like a bandit's twist, doesn't it?

"Right, yeah. I think so, too. That's why I didn't use it."

The woods broke off and my vision suddenly opened.

Hundreds of tents lined up neatly, with soldiers moving stiffly between them. The ground is even and there are several brand-new wooden facilities. There seems to be more than one well. The heat of life is radiating into the open blue sky, and the white and long flag hangs vigorously everywhere, whether it is a testament to its vitality.

Third Princess Paulina SS Garrison.

The place of purpose where Lauri bravely came seemed to exist a little further from the fortress where it was supposed to be. A thousand and five hundred warriors gathered under the banner of the princess...... the truth is Marco's gesture, but it is only SS executives and Daniel, and Lauri, who know it.

"Hey, that's awesome. Some fields, some villages."

"I do. Just a short walk away, arable land and grazing land are made. I was going to come here as a field commander, but these days, he's a valuable blacksmith in the village. You're taking care of the same number of swords, right?

"Haha, you don't betray technology. There's a dojo, isn't there?

"Of course. Bamboo bundle swords are fun. I made the spear one, and this is interesting again."

What the two headed for while they were making a joke was a building built near the center of the garrison. It is the headquarters of the SS.

"Good luck on the long way. You've come a long way."

It was a beautiful boy with dark hair and blue eyes who opened the door and welcomed him. In the SS, the title is squire with a regiment, but Lauri thinks he can sort of believe it or not as it is.

It's Marco. He's thirteen years old and his hands and legs have grown, but he hasn't yet. I don't know if it's an egg shell or an angel's feather, but I haven't finished shaking such a shard of childhood off its body. I don't know what I don't have time to cut or how long my hair is, Lauri keeps criticizing me on the inside. This still puts me through with a beautiful girl.

"Mm... somehow there's some discomfort there"

"Wow, I didn't have that coming my way, Marco"

"That's... yes, that's right. Thank you. But even we're opening a garrison in a land that didn't even have a chair."

"Looks like it's going to be awesome. I wish I could have come a little sooner too."

"No, I'd appreciate it if you did a good job there. Not yet."

While recommending the chair Marco laughed nicely, Lauri felt a little flashy.

Three of the pledged companions reside in this place. It's Accelli, Oiva, Yarucco. Lauri hears that Daniel is still living his days exposed to the public in the Wang capital. But letters seem to go back and forth frequently, and I can see how he's being hunted down. He seems to have a terrific edge attack.

I had heard that Beltran had already visited several other times. His criminal organization is influential not only in Hellevy territory, but also in the surrounding territories. There is also their breathtaking boarding house in Chitoga Osho, and there is no doubt that there is a mix of organizers in this garrison among the husband of the miscellaneous.

And it is Lauri who arrived a season late. He was busy running the Hackinen convoy. It's tough because the main force has moved to SS with every commander. Escorts, which had originally tended to shrink, changed their organizational structure considerably. Though it is the minimal force, the power to conduct mass combat on a 100-person basis was lost from the current convoy. Turned into a more commercial organization.

Still, it remains unchanged that the nominal person responsible is Daniel and the person responsible in practice is Lauri. Even now that we have come to the garrison, the logistics in Hellevy territory still have a great deal of influence from the convoy. And it is Lauri's role to help Marco with it.

"I was finally able to attach my permission from Maryaranta Marquis. Lauri will be entrusted with road maintenance from the town of Chitoga to this fort. If we can do that, we need to get personnel to renovate the fort."

"Yeah, I've done a lot of digging and preliminary negotiations. I think we can move as soon as we have a permit after that."

"You're a boulder. This is the permit."

Marco put it on the tabletop in a luxuriously decorated scroll. Maryaranta territory, situated between the front line and the Wang capital, is said to be commercially developed and the wealthiest of all. Its financial strength also supported artistic development, and Maryaranta Marquis was known as an ardent supporter of stage theatre.

"I think as long as we can get the road, we'll be able to move supplies and soldiers easily, but what about the ship?

"Oh, that's asking Beltran to investigate the tributary fleet. I'm going to wait for the results. Well, there's still an obstacle if I'm alone... with someone, I guess."

Marco, who says so and leaks a small sigh, has no words to speak of, even as Lauri. I remember the words I heard in Kiko Village. He always had a twist between the sight he saw and the hands and feet he could move. I can't carry it out even if I work out a plan. My body doesn't even follow me to fight. Lauri thinks Marco is the one who endures jitteriness while holding it back. And even if I don't want to be so "a child who doesn't enjoy being a child".

"Nevertheless... really, it was addressed to an awesome fort in a great place"

Listening and seeing change the quality of sighs. Lauri's. Maybe that's just better if it's still a fresh taste of exhalation. Those in this garrison will be the breath that leaked again and again.

In the spring, it was the SS that was inaugurated in this kingdom of Asuria, but its operating history was to overlap the unusual after the unusual from the very beginning. Since the beginning is the attempted assassination of the third princess, it may not have had anything to do with the normal operation from the beginning...... Lauri thinks so, too.

First of all, the approval formula was coarse, such that the abbreviations were extremely abbreviated among the abbreviations. Only Accelli, the captain of the regiment, was summoned to the royal castle, and the king's words were delivered to him, and he was finished. Without the members bathing in the praise of the censors, without receiving the word of the princess, and without receiving any blessing from the Church. It was just allowed.

Next is the position of the army line when the princesses return to the king's capital. Although it is customary for the authorized SS, or leading forces, to be placed above the national army at times, they were sent to the rear for abusive and obnoxious reasons of security convenience. The executives were upset by this anyway, but Marco gave one instruction there.

"It will mean that the Imperial Army will come from the north more than it goes south to the Wang Capital, but it is we who are guarding the rear of it. This is a very important role. Form a cavalry platoon to keep perimeter alert. Shows you don't miss out as one of the enemy's scouts. Our first assignment is extravagant. I will protect not only Her Royal Highness Princess Paulina, but all Her Royal Highness."

All the members of the team, who were told by the team leader's accessories, said they were excited. It was an early military exercise, an event that cemented the consciousness of the regiment… it could also have been an act of demonstration to someone.

The protagonists who arrived at the Royal Castle were given the opportunity to receive Paulina's words on the spot, and promised lodging and liquor under the castle. And after three days, you get one royal life.

"Take advantage of that courage in this context of growing tension with the Everian Empire. Give down the king's fringe fort. In the name of Princess Paulina, show me how crushed you are."

It was said so admirably, but the place was pushed into a deserted fortress. Lauri sighed when she heard it, but when she actually looked at the scene, her thoughts became even more distracting.

"Well, it feels like even a thousand and five hundred people have their first cup."

"Yes, I'm sure you're not expecting that, but until the fort takes shape, it's the right number."

"The fort will be renovated in a hurry... but there will be an increase..."

There are many other anomalies to SS, but one of the most dangerous is the number limit. Normally, it is organized as a battalion with three thousand men, be it SS or Knights. Even the third princess SS, which began with a thousand and five hundred men, planned to increase its strength, but limited it to half a battalion of one thousand and five hundred men in normal times. Treasury burden was considered an issue for the reason. The cost of maintaining the SS is the expenditure of the State Treasury.

Lauri thinks it's obvious that it's harassment. And it must not be harassment. Whatever else they do, they can do it, but they increase the danger on the battlefield if they are prevented from expanding their power. More danger makes unexpected sacrifices. I'm afraid of that for Lauri. Because blade alleys are not the usual way to lose something important.

"It's okay. Absolutely fine."

It was Marco. It shines brightly even in the shaded indoors.

"It doesn't make sense on the battlefield, such as limited time. With the front line in the plain, the SS can fight for three thousand men."

"Yeah, well, it's something that never gets raided here...... but are mercenaries that easy to align?

Is it because we have seen each other for a long time, or because we have seen the likes of the fort? Lauri couldn't stop herself from disclosing her anxiety to Marco. I have also become familiar with mercenaries from organizing them as escorts. It is difficult inside to have as many as a thousand and five hundred trustworthy mercenaries. If that's what we're calling for urgently, it's even worse.

But Marco makes Lauri laugh like that.

Lauri hears that in pleasant, delightful, ear-comfortable tone. And I was feeling signs. I was feeling the breath of a dragon, of one who showed me a landscape that was invisible to my ordinary eyes.

"What are you talking about? I already have it all. An extraordinary thousand and five hundred."

"Uh... oh, well... what!? Can you give me a thousand and five hundred?

"Yes. If you can't, you can get some more out, right?

I can see the flames leaking out of that neat mouth... I feel that way Lauri. Listen.

"A thousand and five hundred rides superior to the inside of a horse thief, you can call them at any time"

Burri, and Lauri trembled.

The dragon's authority was unleashed.
