Chapter 128: Brothers and Sisters

* Kent Perspective

When Lydiane's pull-out was complete, the officer, soldier, who was on the list was finished. My mother-in-law's pulled out clerical officer was quickly assigned to each department to start work on each one.

The Civilian Corps is part of the Estefort Army, but they also essentially have clearance and clerical settlement work in my territorial management. My mother-in-law was divided into four departments: the Military Department, which directs the supply and maintenance of the army; the Commercial Department, which directs the licensing and rights adjustments to merchants; the Civil Health Department, which directs the receipt of petitions and card management and registration of residents; and the Engineering Department, which directs utilities and water treatment projects.

The clerical officers acquired this time will be identified for their abilities and assigned to their respective departments. Currently, there are more than thirty clerical officers, but they were considerably understaffed compared to the volume of work.

Since fighting demons is a priority in the south, many people choose combat skills and jobs over those who take clerical skills. So it's a difficult environment for a civilian to grow up in. Still, your mother-in-law chose to train you into a tunnel.

[Talent Excavation] With his skills, he was encouraging people who thought he was here to help him with administrative work with more than a market salary to get clerical jobs. My mother-in-law seemed to intend to hire them as junior officials in the future.

Meanwhile, Arne's cavalry also scouted twenty men with an incremental frame, but the talent with horseman skills he pulled out this time was at a level that seemed hairy to the amateur. I could ride a horse, but I didn't have enough equestrian skills to carry out manoeuvres as an army.

Arne decided that the new recruiter was not used to horse combat with heavy equipment and decided to treat him as a light cavalry. However, it was considered that that was not enough offensive power, so it was decided to remodel some of the enlarged prototype Elizina in the gun workshop into short barrels, short gunbeds and lighter Elizina carbines and pay for it as official equipment for the light cavalry.

The Elizina carbine can also be treated as a short spear by attaching a gunsword to the tip with a demon gun that reduces the total length to eighty centimeters, and the position of the suspension ring has been changed so that it is easy to take around even on horseback. But Aida, who modified it, said the recoil, muzzle blast, and firing sounds during shooting became more intense, resulting in the disadvantage of decreasing the hitting accuracy of the core, and also shorter life span of the gun itself.

Light cavalry equipped with demon guns were developed as manoeuvrable forces by changing their nomenclature to 'Gun Cavalry', but the current capabilities only combine to such an extent as to devour melee fire after a towed shooting and a gunshot assault. Arne was also aware of the matter and had trained the gun cavalry to leave once and for all against their enemies.

Due to limited efforts, gun cavalry was likely to be able to manoeuvre to withstand combat. The cavalry also seems to have succeeded in expanding its new capabilities.

Later, with the help of hunters eager to develop a hunting base, the village of Godard, which was under development as a relay base in the southern region, was rapidly being maintained and turned into an accommodation base with water trenches, earth bases and walls guarded by slab walls, he said. Akbes, the head of maintenance, also had an incredible number of hunters participating in Godard Village development free of charge.

That's all, the hunters thought they wanted a base of operations in the southern region. The fact that demons that taste good for intermediate or higher hunters have only been seen in the southern regions since the onset of the Great Strike seems to be one of the reasons for the increase in the number of participants.

There were two regular carriages out of Estfort in the morning and evening to the well-maintained village of Godard. He has also told me that some of the merchants who deal with demonic material have also begun to show up in the village of Godard to open a shopping center.

So far there are no settlers, but there may be settlers in the near future. I'm not going to have the army stationed, so I asked the Hunter Guild for Godard Village security as a request to the Hunters.

The southern part of the country depends on the triumph of the cut and the circulation of the true demon kingdom, so the village of Godard that I rebuilt became my territory. However, since the surrounding area is a dangerous area where demons walk wide, it was thought that development would begin after hunting had progressed and demons had decreased.

And the development of the village of Godard also conveyed the situation of Fort Fer 'ad, which had been interrupted. Fort Ferguard is currently recovering the garrison's survival and crusading the surrounding demons with about a thousand troops, he said. Currently taking command of the fort seems to be a demonic cadet named Garbay, I don't know the details, but he was a junior officer in the garrison, which means he's the most senior officer of the day.

Former soldiers and corporals under strict military law said they were comfortable with him and united to guard Fort Ferguard dead.

I decided to ask the hunters to send relief supplies and food to Fort Ferguard as soon as possible. And after consulting with my father-in-law, I also decided to send a decree appointing Garvey as the defensive captain of Fort Ferguard. Fort Ferguard's defensive captain serves to monitor the ever-liberating Gate of the Universe (Avisgate), which is the greatest threat in the southern region in the important post of the General Class, but was in fact a post in which a person who had been moved left from the centre or left out of office took office.

However, when it was newly restructured, it was out of the jurisdiction of the Central Army, and Fort Ferguard became the direct command of the Confederate Army, so Fort Ferguard was no longer a place to wait for death. It became a place to fight as a frontline in the hunt for demons. For that reason, this HR promotion rewarded Garbay for keeping the fort dead. Special payments are also to be distributed to soldiers and corporals in the fort.

He and the thousands of soldiers under him want the Confederate army so much that they can get their hands out of their throats because of the defense of the gate. If he rejects this decree, he thinks I have no choice but to board Fort Ferguard for direct judgment. With that in mind, the door was knocked when I was signing papers in the office.

Concon.

"You can come in because you're free."

"It's Condorato. I brought the Schweiger brothers and sisters."

"Excuse me, sir."

Two young officers came into the room ahead of Condorato. The two hid their faces with a white overhanging mask and left their coats woven so that they could not even see the lines of their bodies. At night, when I met him in a dark place, he showed up feeling bad for his heart.

"Uh... you're the Schweiger brothers and sisters? Which is your brother Alphonse for now?

"Ha ha, I am my brother Alphonse. I would like to give His Excellency Kent the pleasure of knowing you in the future."

It was the officer on the left who came forward. Looks like he's my brother Alphonse. However, they are both identical to the same mask, coat, and hairstyle and cannot be distinguished.

"Oh, you're Alphonse. Nice to meet you. By the way, what is this outfit?

Condorato came forward to my question and knelt down and begged me.

"My lord! If you feel disrespectful, forgive me! Alphonse says he can't serve without this outfit. Forgive me for my appearance in this outfit!

"Oh, no. I don't care what you look like… I don't know which one is Alphonse and which is Veronica."

At that moment, it stuffed Condorato better to call him Alphonse.

"Lord Condorato! After all, Lord Kent is not trying to put his sister Veronica at bay! That's why I didn't want to serve. I cannot bear for my precious Veronica to be your comforter!

Stuck Alphonse is screaming, grabbing Condorato's collar, his boss.

"Wait, Alphonse, don't get too fast! That's not what your Eminence said.

Apparently, Alphonse was an extreme sister skiing person. Alphonse seems to think I liked my sister Veronica and hung up on her. My sister Veronica spoke to me in the middle of a bustle.

"My lord Kent, I know you've been offended by my brother's illness, but I risk my brother and sister's life to serve my lord Kent, so forgive my brother for his abuse."

A masked man, supposedly my sister Veronica, had bowed his hand and pledged allegiance to me. Alphonse grabbed me when he saw it.

"My lord! What are you going to do with my sister dressed like that! You were trying to do something horny!

Damn, you brought me a tough guy.

When I sent that kind of gaze to Condorato, he was sweating his forehead like he was scared.

"My lord! I won't let Veronica touch a finger while I'm alive. Yikes! Ohh."

Veronica was punching her back fist into Alphonse's belly.

"My lord... my brother has been very rude... and I am ready to take care of you..."

"Well, my wonderful sister, what a man with love has done... I'm going to ask you today."

"That's it!... Now I thought my troublesome brother would disappear..."

Veronica seemed preoccupied with her brother's excessive interference. I do think Alphonse's behavior may go too far as interference with her adult sister, but I also wonder if it is her sister who wishes for her brother's hands-on.

I was turning my gaze to Condorato again. Condorato was soaking sweat like a floating ball of forehead with a blue face.

"Lord Kent... Alphonse is such a man, but he shows great skill in organizing information. Look at the material you brought here."

Condorato handed me a bunch of paper out of Alphonse's pocket that was stretching. Various types of buried resource maps, demonic distribution maps, topographic maps suitable for combat on each scale, etc. were compiled in the southern region. Even I'm not good at reading documents. The information I needed was so compiled that I could read it immediately.

It's kind of complicated to think that this Ciscon guy produced this material, but Condorato's right, he definitely seems to be good at organizing information. If you show it to your mother-in-law, it's going to help you develop resources, and if you try Condorato, it had some very useful material on it for your demon crusade.

"The original information on my brother's materials came from merchants and hunters in the area. It was unfamiliar land, so it was a little tricky, but the information accuracy is carefully selected. I don't think it's coming off."

"You collected it? Your brother has forgiven you very much."

"My brother doesn't know I'm collecting information. All I know is Lord Condorato and His Excellency Kent. So please don't tell my brother. I like my information-gathering work a lot. Because as soon as my brother finds out, he'll make me stop..."

"Fine. I'll shut up. You're free to gather information, and I'll tell Condorato the cost and get you out of the military's classified expenses."

Veronica was arching again and bowing her head deeply.

"Thank you for your consideration."

There, the resurrected Alphonse grabs me again.

"I won't let you! I won't let you do it! Kent Blackdagger the devil livestock! Don't touch my sister. She'll be pregnant! Up."

He hit me, so my fist came out reflexively by accident. The fist hit Alphonse's jaw clean and collapsed from his knee. I felt terrible, but in view of his abilities, I decided not to ask.

Her sister, Veronica, then left her fainted brother and left, and began to speak in a serene tone as if she suddenly regained reason when she found out that Alphonse was alone.

"I was rude to His Excellency earlier. Alphonse, it's a lifetime of unconsciousness. When it comes to my sister, I'm out of control."

Alphonse, along with Condorato, had repeatedly apologized in a flat-headed position. Except for my sister, who seems to be quite a competent officer, it's troublesome when it comes to turning into a dangerous person as soon as her sister gets involved.

So I decided to suggest that it be in Alphonse.

"Alphonse... I have one suggestion. As for Veronica, it's dangerous to put her on my side with you, so I'm gonna put her on the Civilian Corps as a clerical officer, but what do you say?

"My lord... are you going to make Veronica a civilian? That's right... I don't think my sister is suitable for battle... maybe an inside job civilian would be better suited."

Alphonse seems certain he doesn't know who his sister is. In order to get Veronica to gather information, we decided to send her to the Civilian Corps to make sure Alphonse's eyes were hard to reach.

"If Alphonse convinces me, I'll tell my mother-in-law to get a post ready. Civilians are understaffed."

"This is my wonderful sister, thank you."

Alphonse was delighted that Veronica was going to be a civilian on the inside, but he was actually going to ask me to go out to various places as my informant.

"Oh, I'll take care of it. As an intelligence staff officer, Alphonse is ordered to assume the rank of deputy general of Condorato. It's hard to believe you can help my army with that extraordinary intelligence skills."

"Ha ha, I will work in shattered pieces as far as my abilities are concerned"

Answered by Alphonse in a royal military ceremony salute with his hands on his chest.

* Gwein Perspective

I felt signs behind me as I stood looking out the window of the office blurry. Looking back, there was Suven, the head of the intelligence organization.

"Don't stand behind me without permission. I won't let you complain if they cut you off..."

"This, excuse me. I was hoping to report to you, as reports came up from the men who forced me into Estefort."

Souven was peeking at his wrinkled face from his black-crushed robe.

"Estfort... oh, you were such a kid as Kent... you seem to have begun to be recognised as a man married to an idiot daughter even in King's Capital"

"It's Lord Kent… we're still looking into it using multiple sources, but we're getting reports that combat technology and combat command are not extraordinary."

"So why did you launch such a great success three times in a row? You can't be a normal person. That's a great credit."

"The report also states that concubines and concubines, including Miriam Aria, are extremely capable of excellence."

The ability of a sidekick or concubine… why do such competent people flock to such a lad? Until a few months ago, we were just ordinary people...

"Is that to say that Kent is good at attracting talented people?

"You should say you haven't neglected to invest in competent people. They say Estfort Army salaries are paid in 20% increments without Pinhane."

Assuming a 20% increase in payment without a pin hane, it seems that the salaries the soldiers and officers are receiving are actually close to a 50% increase.

"Is Kent an idiot? I didn't expect to hire soldiers or officers with such high salaries..."

"But due to the war effort earlier, the state is now paying salaries…"

"You did... but isn't he willing to accumulate assets?

"It seems that we intend to cover Master Migliaria's assets and revenues from the territory given to us. My people will probably earn at least ten large gold coins a year when the development is complete."

I was surprised at what Suven had said. Because only aristocrats with multiple territories can count with one hand, such as aristocrats with territories that make up as much as ten large gold coins a year.

"There can't be such a territory in the south..."

"No, Estfort has become a territory assumed to be about the same size as Avisvena. The inspectors assured me."

"It's about the same as Avisvena! You idiot, take the rest of the day off. Say it! There's no way a 50,000 man city could make a wheelchair!

"The population is still between 5,000 and 6,000, but in view of the volume of walls, etc., I still thought it was about the same as Abysvena..."

The south had a strong image of the border, so no one was seen migrating inside, and it was always an underpopulated area.

"Wouldn't it make sense to build such a city in the south? There's no way people can get together."

"I can't say enough about that. Recently, I've been hearing from orphanage officials that Lord Kent is pulling threads behind the" Orphanage Southern Transfer Plan. "

"The" Orphan Southern Transfer Plan, "the plan to simultaneously pick up orphans, the rubbish of the example Wang capital, and send them to the south? That was a really good plan. It's a wonderful plan to take me to the criminal reserve from orphans to get my useless garbage confession free of charge."

"Including orphans, orphans, orphanage officials, there will be thousands of people transferred to the south."

"But they're all useless, aren't they?

"I can't say enough about that. In the south, even cats are understaffed."

Does anyone who can use it, whether it's an orphan or a criminal reserve, use it… I guess this thousand people will die being treated like slaves. Stupid people.

"Even the Wang capital is beginning to emigrate more people for work, mainly the unemployed. There has been a boom in sending people recruited in Wangdu, mainly the Chamber of Commerce, which has branches in Estfort."

"If the incompetent man in the King's Landing went to the south, the disturbing signs would heal."

"But the South is going to increase its population and increase its power. That's what General Gertrude's letter said about southern independence."

Souven seems to believe in Gertrude's delusion that his real brother, Arbalest, is plotting independence over the true demonic kingdom by talking to Kent. My brother, who split the blood, and took over as Uncle Borderline at my back, couldn't possibly have betrayed me.

"I'm worried. Even if Kent plots independence, Arborest stops."

"Master Gwayne believes too much in his body. Just in case."

"Ok, ok. Keep it in mind."

"And then some strange rumors are picking up between us. First of all, they say there are religious groups that are Kent denominations, which gather their followers by calling Lord Kent the rebirth of the demonic ancestor, Mr. Orfable. Besides, they say this denomination is reserved for women."

A female-only frigid religious group... supposedly a denomination created to gather ladies of ladies. Nevertheless, the rebirth of Master Orpheus is what blew the Great Magnum.

"Is there any real harm?

"Not at the moment. It seems to be a religion preached only to Estfort in the south"

"Then throw it away"

"Ha ha, and this is information from an intelligence network posted in the Principality of Black Dragon, but it turns out that the last stop of the True Demon Clade with his daughter was the old eastern garrison."

As soon as I heard the information Souven had conveyed, I felt the smell. This sense of smell has kept me alive until now, so I'll be honest with you.

"Don't smell it. You think Kent and Crade are connected?

"We have too little information to judge. However, it is suspicious that Lord Kent's concubine has a true demonic Callamia and a demonic concubine named Delprius."

There is a true Demon concubine and a side concubine named Delprius... did Crade leave his daughter with Kent to hide herself? Or is it someone else of the same name?

"Let those who let Estfort go find out about a concubine named Delprius. And Karamia, the true demon."

"Yes, I have already ordered it"

"It's important when Kent is truly concubining the Black Dragon Duchess to the west. The kingdom will bring its enemies west and south."

"I'll let you look into it in a hurry. I'll keep looking for his father, Craid."

When I imagined that the Duchy of Black Dragon and the South had joined forces to defy the kingdom, chills ran on my back. With Kent, who seems to have plenty of money connected to the Kingdom's strongest armed group, the Duchy of the Black Dragon, it could take a considerable amount of time to crack down when the insurgency broke out.

If we're connected, we should crush Kent, who's still weak. It was considered bad for Arborest, but not a talent to keep alive, even though he was my stepson.

And I don't understand a kid named Kent Blackdagger. The report says that the military and administration leave everything to their men and that they are immersed in demonic crusades and women's fishing, but are they really?

The sense of smell that's kept me alive said Kent stinks.

But there's still too little information to cut it off. He's becoming a Southern hero, so it's hard to cut him off badly and really be independent of the South. We should focus on gathering information for a while now.

When I found out, Souven asked me about my complexion, and at some point it had disappeared from the room.

"Phew, it's time to cut a gap on Gertrude, who's eaten a second-degree squad with the same hands... what about his successor... it's a total pain in the ass"

I dismissed Gertrut and started selecting a successor. Candidates were likely to be difficult to navigate because they thought that sending in talent from Arborest and each other would be the second dance of Gertrude.

When he became a person capable of suppressing Kent's outburst while trying to reconcile himself with Arborest, none of them, even though the Royal Army was wide open, became famous.

Would the weakening of military personnel be the price of too much peace...

I was peeking at the list of officers of my faction with that in mind.
