Episode 69: Louise's Proposal

"My Lord. Why don't you go get Orihalcon's weapon?

Louise approached me in the office like she had decided to, and she said so.

To be precise, it was an invitation to go attack the legendary White Tower of Trials, rumored to give Orihalcon gear to adventurers who had completed a tough trial.

"That's abrupt, Louise. Why did you suddenly try that White Tower of Trials?"

"It's not sudden, I've been thinking about it. If I had an Orihalcon sword too, Takel would no longer have to fight"

Ugh, something about Louise feels strangely overprotective from the last fight.

With Orihalcon's sword, you wouldn't even say Louise could take out Crown Prince Fried instead of me.

Because I think I can beat Freed right now if I accidentally strike him with a "Neutral Sword" of hidden balls.

I don't really want Louise to take my turn.

But a strong weapon is also certain to have been wanting for a long time.

Once the war has been interrupted, it is not a bad idea to encourage equipment enhancement in the meantime.

If Louise had the weapon of the world's most powerful metal, Orihalcon, she would be even more reliable.

I know that's a thankful suggestion, but it's kind of a mess right now.

Dr. Lyle and Shelley are in the middle of an extended debate on the barracks plan in front of my desk, and something is stuck.

The desk is littered with whirlpool paperwork with unexplained numbers, maps and parchment, and I have no idea which one to look at.

Listening to the two of them and summing up the conversation, I think it means that there is no problem with the slight increase in the number of prostitutes incorporating them as a standing force, but that they are having trouble using more than 5,000 large mercenary regiments.

You can always tell me to come into this starchy air office and attack the labyrinth all of a sudden.

That's Louise, I can tell you, but if we're talking about such a long story right now...

"No, Captain Louise's suggestion, it's not bad. The White Tower of Trials was near the trading city of the Duchy of Rankt, wasn't it? Um, this could be a good idea"

Dr. Lyle puts a or hand on his cheek and thinks.

I'm even laughing thin, that's my face when I come up with something bad.

I have no idea what a good idea this proposal is, but Shelley seems to have figured it out right away.

Shelley gathers a bunch of paper with her little hand and laughs at me.

"Your husband. If you're a big city rank, food prices are stable, and I think you can cover it locally for 5,000 people. Considering mass transit from Est Hou Luan, it's rather quicker that way."

No, so what are you talking about? Either we're talking about a barracks station or a labyrinth attack.

I can't read the story at all, and the teacher says, "Here it is" with a short cane, pointing to a point on the map.

"The White Tower of Trials proposed by Captain Louise is located in the Duchy of Rankt, one of the Germanian Empire's territorial states."

"Funny, isn't that enemy territory?"

The map shows that the Duchy of Rankt is just next to the Knights of Lorraine territory in our country. It is a territorial state along the border between the Kingdom and the Empire.

It's good because it's close, it doesn't seem like it's going to have to be a long journey, but I wonder if it's a problem to step into enemy territory.

"This should rather be called power diplomacy. Our aim is the 'White Tower of Trials' offense, not the war. That's how they hustle, and they take 5,000 mercenaries across the border, and they break into the Duchy of Rankt."

"I feel like a messed up plan."

I don't mind taking the Grand Mercenaries and doing another dungeon attack in the military.

Assuming that is the territorial state of an enemy country, it doesn't seem strange to me to go to war instantly.

"The Principality of Rankt is a territorial state that keeps in trade. You should definitely want to avoid the start of an empire and kingdom war in your own territory, so reluctantly you will admit the passage of our army's territorial state. You can supply plenty of barracks in enemy cities while pressuring the Empire."

"Hmmm..."

Dr. Lyle snorts at the way he said he'd get my will.

The beneficial use of mercenary regiments during the truce can also be used to replenish them on enemy territory. With its "White Tower of Trials," three birds a stone if you get Orihalcon gear.

The size of the Oracle Grand Cave before this was about a thousand people, but now you're going to take five thousand people and attack the labyrinth?

Now it was going to be an even bigger, war-level labyrinth attack.

However, many of the mercenary regiments are arguably quite suitable for former bandits, adventurers and labyrinth exploration.

I don't want to waste it because it might be a good idea, and most importantly, it's Louise's suggestion because of it.

"Okay, I get it. Let's go to the White Tower of Trials."

"Talk about it, you've made up your mind. I'll be touching the Galan Mercenaries in a minute, we're out of line!

Dr. Lyle and Louise just left the room for military action.

Well......

"Shelly, do you want a souvenir?

That big city rank is like a pretty rich city, so maybe some things are rare.

Shelley's been working hard for me, so I've always thought it would be better to reward her with something.

Stoic, she's in trouble because she's not into her diet, and she only wants about fine paper and new books.

"Master, eat and drink plenty in the city of Rankt, and buy and fish conserved food occasionally to keep the imperial food prices as high as possible. That's the biggest souvenir I've ever had."

That being said, Shelly is no better than a teacher and has a bad nymmali laugh.

I guess it's not very emotional and educational to have a child near the teacher...

Lead my Kingsguard team with over 5,000 Grand Knights.

From the castle of Ox, via the city of Spike in Oracle Territory, to the territory of the Lorraine Knights.

I first came to Lorraine Knights territory.

When we crossed Mount Mona into the realm, it was really just a lean land with nothing, just a whole lot of wilderness and a small swamp.

Strategically, it's just a road to the city of Lorraine or the city of Spike, which the Empire has made a passage through.

In the war ahead, the Lorraine Knights were just splitting up into imperials and kingdoms for a skirmish, but now the kingdoms seem to be winning and settling down.

About fifty knights arrived and were greeted by a knight in a weird Tongari helmet who named himself the leader of the Lorraine Knights.

Everyone wears sheet metal armor from a long time ago, but the plates are damaged by bumps, and they look like they're wearing antiques.

"Hi valiant, my name is Bagamon de Culchadia. I am the Baron and I am entrusted with the rule of the Realm."

"Ooh..."

Captain Bagamon on a skinny pony lowered his head deeply as he descended in front of me.

If Tongari's helmet did it, it would be a long time, so I thought they would eat the head poke.

"In the battle ahead, I was betrayed by the deputy commander, Associate Baron de Marse, who took the unconsciousness and was not at all helpful and not up to the facade"

"No, that's fine, Baron."

Originally, I don't expect anything from the Lorraine Knights.

The Lorraine Knights realm was apparently dysfunctional, with the captain and deputy captain fighting over it.

Seems like we were seriously fighting as honorable knights as ourselves, but that little battle is completely abandoned in the empire and in the kingdom because none of it has any strategic value.

By the way, they are pathetic people.

They definitely wanted me to stop by the Knights of Lorraine's castle, so I stopped by but what was there was a wooden digging shed, surrounded by a coarse wooden fence.

I'm sorry to make such an analogy, but their castle stands almost unchanged from the somewhat rich farmhouse Rod family in the village of Rosgo.

"Uh..."

"This is the castle of our Lorraine Knights' Culture Chadia de Marse de Lorraine."

"Is this it?"

"Yes, it is the castle of Culchadia de Marse de Lorraine"

Like a RPG villager, that's all I repeat, Baron Bagamon.

It's a pretty hectic life with about thirty knights living in a splendid named digging shed with a dot attached to it.

The farmers in the neighborhood, they get food and they manage to live.

It was the strong bread dipped in water that they asked me to serve with them, thank you. This seems to be a treat for them to serve.

"... Baron Bagamon, if you like, you can eat my rice too."

Considering the possibility of becoming a battle, the food is available at leisure.

It's not a big deal. The wine, the ham, the sausage seemed like a treat to them, and they were eating first with the guts.

The Knights here are all knights who have a fine position as associate barons and generals, but it's like a bunch of skinny, hungry children...

"Dear brave man, Kazake, Kazake"

When I see Baron Bagamon chewing up the cut end of the ham in tears with regret, this one feels like nothing more.

Listening to the story, I knew that Captain Bagamon was from a poor martial family too, a similar background to Viscount Ortlett's.

From poor martial families, they have no funds to precede them, the villages are collapsing and reconstruction is not progressing, the end of which is collecting waste materials and building digging huts and castles.

Obviously, they're failing to run their territory.

If this is the case, I should have given them a little financial assistance as well as Viscount Ortlett.

When I regretted it so much, it was Dr. Lyle who struck me in the ear.

"This is fine with them, if they don't have anything, they won't take it to life"

"I see..."

I think what the teacher says is best for them who are giving me about the Royalists because of it.

I think you can do as much as leave the food for a moment.

From the Knights of Lorraine territory, he entered the Imperial State of Germania and the Duchy of Rankt for about four days by road, and gradually the streets grew thicker and bigger, becoming a splendid road laid to the cobblestone.

The villages along the streets can also be seen becoming large and rich lands.

Beautifully cobbled streets and other things that can only be seen in the King's capital in the Kingdom of Silesier.

It has become a busy atmosphere just watching, with many merchants' carriages and adventurers on their journeys crossing its splendid path.

"Lord Takel, this is the traded city of Rankt, which is regarded as a Germanic treasure."

"That's amazing"

To lean against the great Tulbe river, multiple white lacquered walls are erected, and to the exterior of that wall, a surprisingly stone building connects the houses.

In the heart of the city there are luxurious castles, even buildings like stone square buildings.

Compared to trading city ranks, such as Wang Du Silesier, the countryside is also a good place.

It was a super huge city, even from the modern man's point of view, you could call it a big city without complaining.

"It's said to be a hundred thousand cities, but it's a hundred thousand for citizens alone. When you combine non-citizen slaves and runaways, there are about 120,000 or 30,000 people living there."

"How could such a rich city be?"

"It's a boat's luck," the teacher said, reaching out in dazzle and looking at a glorious city like a gem, made of white lacquer and red bricks.

It is more and cheaper to carry by boat than to carry by carriage.

At a time when there are still dangers to the sea, the luck of the Tulbe river crossing the Eura continent is the best way to trade.

"This river Tulbe runs from the estuary of the Principality of Transubania to the north and to the Principality of Roland to the south. Moreover, even if seen by road, the large city Rankt hits the streets connecting the Germanian Empire with the Kingdom of Silesier. Even on the Eura continent, no further major traffic shocks for location conditions exist.... you want it"

"What..."

Now, did you say you wanted it the last time?

"No, well, I hope I can...... Trading City Rankt is a gemstone-like city where all the wealth of the Eurasian continent gathers, so covetousness is what you call a city like this."

Rarely did the teacher sigh, look out at the beautiful city, and crumble into lust.

Mm-hmm. Well, let's remember. If you take the jewels of the Eurasian continent, the big city rank, as a drawer, the teacher might take the proposal as well.

Well, that's just a joke. I am not willing to wage war of aggression.

... If your teacher really takes you seriously, you can think about it.

Noise erupted in the front row of the Grand Mercenary Regiment as they watched people cross the bustling streets, and were caught in such silence.

Well, the big mercenary regiment is approaching the big city of the enemy state, so when I walk away, I hear a cute, familiar voice that will cause me about trouble.

"You've come to invade my country, I'm not kidding!

A lady knight in burning flaming armor is furious with her fists raised to heaven as she flips a luxurious cloak adorned with a scarlet eagle, the crest of the Duchy of Rankt.

Uh, well, the Duchy of Rankt, if you think it sounds familiar, is it the father's territory of the princess knight Eleonora?

The head of the Garang mercenary regiment, who was leading the Great Mercenary Regiment, was in trouble with an orgy with a blonde princess knight wearing a chamon.

Garan Doddle is the strong side of the skinhead when he takes off his black clasp helmet. On its shallow black face, it is a mighty warring man with countless ancient wounds from the war.

Before General Galan, who led that great regiment of 5,000 mercenaries, he did not pull a step. It's awesome that he's still a straight knife (a sabel) on his hips, screaming with a sword screen full of slashes.

The young beside Princess Eleonora is also splendid when she gets this far, like an axe of roaches.

If you do it, Dr. Lyle advances in and responds soothingly, replacing Garang, who is stuck by a fierce princess knight and confused.

"Lord Rankt will see you as your son, Lord Eleonora Rankt Ammine. May I ask why it interferes with our steps?"

The teacher's tone was somewhat gentle and polite, speaking of which, he was dressed in the official attire of the Secretary of State before entering the territory of the Principality of Rankt, but this was naturally due to the fact that it would be a splendid diplomacy.

Miss Eleonora, with her heavy shield infantry, has no idea.

"How dare you attack my city, Giresier's brave men and the mischievous ones who give it to me, we met here, but it's the centenary!

"With all due respect, Your Highness Princess Eleonora, we are not here to attack your country, but to explore the White Tower of Trials. To that end, we have officially consulted your father, Lord Rankt, to obtain permission to transit through the Territory."

"You've come to take my country with such a mere excuse, I won't be fooled!

If I suck, does this reckless princess knight know that the war will resume on this occasion?

Even with your heavy infantry, there's only about thirty of them, and they'll all be gone in no time.

Behind, the heavily armed infantry holding back with a large shield is also trembling with a tense face.

Ordinary people know when it's okay to sell fights and when it's bad.

I'm sure no one can turn against this bouncing princess.

Is it hard to serve the palace?

Deacon Knight (Senecial) Kato, "Come quickly -!" Did everyone's wishes go through, "the silver-haired old gentleman rushed to me, spanning Junma (Shinme).

Refreshing, jumping off the horse, the old butler drinks the princess knight Eleonora.

"Princess Eleonora, what are you doing!

"Grandpa, I'm trying to protect my country..."

That's right, the princess knight is also a little vulnerable to the majesty of this silver-haired old gentleman.

The tone of my voice dropped.

"How do you defend this number of soldiers?"

"So if you call the Imperial Capital that the Silesier brave men have attacked you..."

Hearing that, Mr. Cato revealed a quiet rage when he frowned.

"Does the princess understand what it means to say we are going to wage war here? You think the daughter of a lord who should protect her people is going to expose this beautiful city and people of Rankt to the danger of war!

"Gu......"

That's Senechal Cato! He made it clear that everyone told this abusive, no-watch princess knight what she couldn't even say if she wanted to.

I can sibi there, admire it!

Smiles returned to the mercenary regiment over here and to the heavy-duty infantry regiment over there.

Nice, Mr. Cato.

"If you intend to make things rough against Lord Rankt's will any longer, how dare you, Princess, keep this Cato quiet!

"Ok, ok, you just have to pull..."

Eleonora, the princess knight, had left awfully with a face that said how outrageous she could be.

The heavily armed infantry corps also followed after a princess knight who bowed with joy and left angry with her pump and shoulder.

"Dear Silesier valiant, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by the impudent princess of our country. Please forgive me for this occasion."

That's right, I had a bag of properly packed gold coins in my horse's saddle, an old knight Cato.

Trouble is solved with money, I don't know if it's normal, but if you're in a position to get it, it's completely different.

"Sa, as you cross the border, I will guide you to the city. Of course you can supply the city, but please don't make any noise."

"Oh, of course, thank you"

Originally, it is forbidden for security reasons for this number of large groups of mercenaries to approach the city in groups.

Mr. Cato even arranged for everyone's place to stay by talking to the guards. Exactly, endless considerations.

Continue along the streets of the red brick, creeping through the splendid semi-circular daimon and into the large city ranks.

It was a different world filled with riches with people who thought it was a festival.

"Is this the trading city rank…"

It's petty to have a princess knight with a face who seems to resent us from a distance for showing Mr. Cato around the city.

A princess knight can't do anything as long as she has a butler knight as her target.

Now we're in a big city on the continent competing for one or two. The "White Tower of Trials" strategy is also important, but a little sightseeing of the city is good.

In this trading city, which is the hub of distribution, you are sure to get rare properties.
