The offer of total surrender from the Idra Empire was a satisfactory outcome for the Minister of Military Affairs, who had spoken beforehand with us in the presence of the talks.
However, it seemed incredible to the vast majority of generals and troop leaders who did not know the circumstances, and the eyes that saw Eina had come close to fear through respect.
Well, I don't think you can either.
The information on the surrender of the Idra Empire was communicated to all places by the soldiers of the Idra Empire, who were also able to surrender safely the main cavalry unit, which was wary of the trend.
At the time of the surrender of the Idra Empire, they were in position for about two days from our headquarters. It was quite remarkable.
But as a result. We took control of the Idra Empire with incredibly little damage: four wounded in Glider's landing failure...
After the surrender of the Idra Empire, Ms. Eina stayed in the Old Empire for five days and handled the transfer of the Emperor to the Kingdom of Pharos, confirmation of the governing mechanism, arrangements for the restoration of waterways and the city, the return of refugees, the replenishment of food and supplies to the Expeditionary Force, the integration of the Idra Imperial Cavalry into the Expeditionary Force and mountain-like cases at an even faster pace.
The city has burned to a considerable extent, but the damage to agricultural land is small, and even restoring waterways is likely to help rebuild it.
Most of the food and farmland was safe, and if we bought livestock from the nomads, they'd be able to include the portion to supply us.
And in time, if Mr. Listella's merchants arrived from the Kingdom of Pharos, they would be able to circle without any problems, so the rule seemed fine.
They leave 1000 soldiers as static troops at once, but after all that one-sided loss, and since the military were mostly relieved (mostly) of their original status, there would also be less risk of insurrection.
The loud, flashy armored (okay) guy said he was doing all kinds of wrongdoing, and he seems to be in the barn at first sight. Sovereignty of these disciplines (because of Kokushiku) also seem to be a factor in gathering support for the new system.
And on December 15, the sixth day after the surrender of the Idra Empire, the expeditionary army had been restructured as early as possible to begin its southward descent.
The destination, of course, is the Kingdom of Sidal to the south.
Even after leaving, Ms. Eina seems busy talking to the commander to master (soak) the newly added ex-Idra Imperial Cavalry, reading a large number of reports that will be pursued (likely to follow), and sending directives out in large bags full of them if they are written in as large quantities.
For the sake of minimizing luggage, the directive appears to be reusing the back of the report to write.
I think it's very ecological, but you don't even feel a shard of authority (pieces) that a directive from the Supreme Commander of the Expeditionary Force reuses the back paper, do you?
If you knew Eina, you'd laugh and convince her.
By the way, I asked you to take down the Elf Ranch within the Idra Empire.
Suddenly emancipation is not possible locally or in our receptive attitude, so the idea is that if we turn down supply for now, the rare value will increase and the price will go up, and if the price goes up, the treatment will be somewhat better.
Nevertheless, even after much research in the short term, there seemed to be over 400,000 elf slaves in the Old Empire alone.
Including the minutes of being in other, mainly small and medium-sized cities that exist near borders with other countries, it is also possible to exceed 500,000.
There were more than 400,000 people in the old Markham kingdom, so naturally, I guess, but it's a distracting number.
In the meantime, I ask you to send a letter to the mine along with the directive sent by Mr. Eina, asking him to proceed with the building of the village because the Great Forest of the Idra Empire is now available, and to create a base in the forest as close as possible to the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital is far from the border on all sides, but it may be a little easier when it comes to transferring to the forest because of the distance of about five days by carriage from the Great Forest Zone.
Nevertheless, it will be ahead of us for the time being, as that is also after the reception attitude has been put in place.
Think about the Kingdom of Siddhar, another destination for this expedition, while now taking measures to improve the situation of Mr. Elves at all.
The Kingdom of Siddhar has territory in the southern part of the continent and, unlike the Idra Empire, is a rich agricultural country.
There will also be a large population, and that is why many Mr. Elves are used as slaves.
And it is mainly Mr. Marsh Elf who is there.
Feels like I had a conversation with Mr. Marsh Elf who took me to the mine before I left for the expedition, food and lifestyle are quite different from the Lynne Tatsuyama Elf.
Knowledge of sampling, etc. is not common, so it will be necessary to develop core personnel from scratch.
It depends on how many elves are not from the ranch, but quite a lot of work is expected.
Honestly, I think it's in my hands, but it's what I have to do to make good on my promise to Lynne, who helped me and my sister.
With renewed determination, I turn my attention to the Expeditionary Army, which continues southwards in pursuit of the Kingdom of Sidal.
Again, only formation of riding troops and lightweight high-speed carriages, but most troops are clustered together within relatively close range because there is no concern of enemy attacks.
They're planning to buy food once they discover the nomads, so they're placing a reconnaissance team with kites (octopuses) around the perimeter to get them to hit the search.
The strength is 7,000 for the original Grand Duke Faros infantry and 3,000 for the cavalry. About 5,000 of the former Idra Imperial Cavalry, who were prisoners, and 3,000 horses, wanted to continue serving.
The newly integrated Idra Imperial Cavalry has 25,000 horses and 10,000 horses added in the Imperial capital, a total of 41,000 horses for 40,000 soldiers.
It is considerably more enhanced than it was when we left the kingdom of Pharos, on the contrary to wear out.
I think Eina will die of overwork, but she comes to our carriage once in a while and spends the night wrapped in the same blanket as Rhina.
That makes me feel better so that I can see it differently the next morning, so much so that I suspect that even electromagnetic waves with a fatigue recovery effect are coming out of Mr. Rhina.
Well, I guess it's an electromagnetic wave that only works for Mr. Eina.
That's how the march progresses, the year changes and January 15 of the continental calendar year 424. We were close to the border between the old Idra Empire and the Kingdom of Saidal.
As we go south, the wasteland decreases and the proportion of meadows increases, and when we see the meadow grass length (crustaceans) growing sparsely, we feel that the land is becoming richer.
The Kingdom of Siddhar is a rich agricultural country that extends to the southern part of the continent, with an alleged population of 8 million more than the former Kingdom of Markham and the Idra Empire combined.
If we go further south from here, one side of the meadows will turn into one side of the wheat fields and paddies.
Ms. Eina stopped the army once in front of the border and ordered it to raise the balloon.
I also rode a small balloon for observation, but what seemed like the other side of the brown sea of dead grass was a gray wall, lying like a giant snake on the meadow for a long time...
