"Wow, come on!

Mother Julia said as she looked up at the outer wall of the fort.

"Yeah, because this fort is a major shock on the border with Sonorat. In times of need, the castle is built so robustly that it can also be caged. Ten-and-a-half meters is secured even at the lowest level."

While listening to Father Alfred's commentary, our carriage takes us across the bounce bridge of the fort.

"Ahhhhhh."

I climb out of the carriage window, under the bounce bridge, pointing my finger at a big, likely five meters wide.

"Ed's really smart. Yes, it's an important piece of defense. I don't attach soldiers to the walls, I don't even lean on broken castle hammers. If we raise the jump bridge, the only way to drop this fort is to fill it."

He also has ideas about the amount of water he puts in, and so on. The father is the dad himself who invited the children to visit the workplace.

"This fort can hold up to 5,000 soldiers. Well, that's only the biggest, and now it's about 1,500. Together with the 2,000 people who are stationed in the city behind me, a total of 3,500 will be under my command."

Master Oyaji, who is good at saying that and puts his chest up.

That's probably an amazing thing to be entrusted with that many soldiers at 39.

But [dominance] There's a little less than 4000 troops that can be dominated at level 4.

[Appraisal] sounds like a pretty rare skill, so I guess I'll have to do it empirically so long as this is all right.

It may simply be related to the number of soldiers in the Kingdom of Santa Mana.

As he listened to his father's commentary, the carriage crossed the bounce bridge and entered the interior of the walls.

The carriage stopped in front of a large building in the centre.

Exactly a fort! Several armored knights rushed out of a boneless building that felt like it.

"Welcome home, Commander!

"Yeah, thanks for the hard work"

Dad grinned and raised his hand gently.

"The border with Sonorat was peaceful itself, with no noticeable change during the two weeks when the commander was out!

"That's good"

Father answers with a smile and looks up at the fort building.

"Does everyone at the fort make a difference?

"Ha! I'd like to say..."

"Hmm, what's wrong?

"A request from the Earl of Gurshire to be sent a thousand soldiers to Fort Zachholz in the north came earlier this morning"

"Zachholtz? Why?

"The Black Wolf Tooth, a group of mercenaries who lost their earning ground as Sonorat's civil conflict ended, has been rumored to be entering our country through the North Road for the purpose of looting."

"The Black Wolf Fang... All right, let's get the soldiers together."

"Are you sure? I think sending a thousand soldiers will make this one less protective."

"I guess I have to." Black Wolf's Fang "is a rally of rough men for the purpose of looting, but is highly skilled as a mercenary regiment. In the unlikely event that Zachholz is pulled out, what the hell will happen to the city or village behind it...... Sweet. This fort is a strong guardian. Even with five hundred left, there will be no problem for a while. from the rear city... right, I order you to send half a thousand"

"Ha. Now let's get down to forming a hurry squad!

"Yeah, I got it."

The armored knight rushed across the building when he decided to salute Bishi.

As for me, I was impressed with the command that went into my father's hall.

Language is gentle and polite, but his father is quick to grasp the situation, makes a quick decision, and gives clear instructions.

I was a salesman in my previous life, too, but I didn't patrol with my boss who could get my kick-ass job going so far.

My men's knights also conveyed signs of respect for my father.

When I think of it and look at Mother Julia,

"Uh, I'm working for you, Al. Nice too!

What a mess I was talking about.

... I'm about to fall out of that arm from time to time, so use [Physical Magic] to maintain my posture.

Even then, many other armored knights come and ask for their father's instructions, but his father does not break his grimy expression, but listens seriously to reports, considers them, and gives instructions.

Exactly. I was just away for two weeks and the report was flimsy.

Dad ordered me to call the secretary to show Mother Julia and me to the living room in the fort.

The young man's secretary seemed to respect his father, and he led us through his work at the fort, talking to his mother about it.

My mother and I were finally able to get comfortable in the guided living room.

"Your father is amazing ~? Edgar, look at your father's work, right?

"Bubble!

Then, when the sun was about to set, my father, who had finished sending reinforcements to another fort, came and rented the fort's reception room for dinner.

It was a simple meal just for the fort, but my mother was eating really good looking at my father.

I was getting boobs before my meal. I'm just watching, but in such a boneless fort, it's good to have parents and kids together.

My father also said, "I'm glad I brought you here," and stroked my head.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

My day at the fort was just like that, and my mother and I were supposed to stay overnight at the fort and leave the next morning.

But the next morning.

A blue-faced armored knight jumped in front of us as we made our way home and spared our farewell to our father.

"What happened?

My mother and I kissed each other, and my father's face, which was long and loose, tightened in an instant.

"- And it's an enemy army!

"What?

"- From the Sonorat side, a mercenary group and a bunch of bums are coming this way in a state of war! At least two thousand! To see the banner raised - it's Black Wolf Fang!

Father looked up to heaven.
