Finally, he was able to enter the arable land that stretched out to the northeast of the Beiglitz, and when Al exhaled a small sigh, he turned his neck around while riding on the Uranus.

--You managed to make it on schedule...

The construction of the third fortress was completed, and the movement of the Second Knights, who were stationed in villages north of the fortress, such as Zendo and Raskel, to the fortress was confirmed around noon the day before yesterday.

--The two of you have calmed down completely.

I opened my eyes to the two knights I was accompanying.

Knight Kibnal and Knight Doriston accompanied them as escorts, but after witnessing the construction of Al's fortress, they rose to the heavens, and for a while they said they weren't here.

Both of them knew that Al was an excellent sorcerer, and the Knight Kibnal had seen the earth walls built in Tankur, Denan, and Kincaid villages, but he saw the great sorcery exercised on a larger scale and pulled out his hips.

However, he said to Al, "Don't blurt out. What's wrong with all-around vigilance!?", and surprised by the sudden construction of the fortress, he said, "Let's go get the monster that jumped out of the back of the forest! I was yelled at, and while I was desperately obeying my orders, I regained my self and calmed down.

Nowadays, I was constantly paying attention to my surroundings and flying a vigilant gaze. If I wanted to see a monster, one of them immediately approached the monster for containment, and the other was able to stand beside Al and take an appropriate position to shield himself.

- I don't know when I'm going to leave the Knights, but I'm sure Doriston can throw it into Emy's training next year.

Knight Kibnar was the eldest son of Lord Lucinda Kibnar, who ruled the village of Hash, so it was thought that Al would be able to belong to the Knights for not long.

--Thank you, Andersen...

The Midwest Dart Countess ruled the city of Dasmorg, formerly led by a group of adventurers named Black Topaz and now under the umbrella of Slaughter (Slaughter), a woman named Red Andersen came to Al to build a fortress and asked for a visit.

The purpose was to obtain permission for two young men from the old Black Topaz, her servant, to belong to the Knights of Count Dressler.

As for Al, I don't have any thoughts, but I don't have any particular objections, so I have given permission.

At that time, I asked two young men who had come with Andersen, Erland Bagmaia and Viktor Milstron, "Join my Knights..." You've already earned the knighthood in the Knights of Viscount Andersen, so you won't have any problems with your knowledge or fighting skills. Not to mention the fact that the black topaz was used to being treated by Lord Andersen, and the monster opponent was also used to it. Let's welcome you, "and immediately admitted him, and now he has an introduction letter for the head of the Knights of Dressler.

However, he continued, "However, the Knights of Our Dressler Knights will set new qualifications to improve their fighting power in the future. You need to go through some special training to get that qualification, but are you confident?” he asks.

Until the end of last month, the commander of the Knights of the Dressler Knights also observed special training at the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of the Knights of

Naturally, the two young men, not only the Lady Andersen, heard about what kind of training was being carried out.

Even so, Al wants to join the group.

However, in the first place, Duchess Andersen was from an adventurer, and there were not many vassals who could be completely trusted.

In other words, the old Black Topaz members were tiger children.

The city of Dasmorg, ruled by the Duchess, is a major traffic junction in the area, and the size of the city is bigger than Beglitz.

In addition, it was only created by cutting through the Dart Plains in a positional manner, and it also required caution against monsters.

In that sense, those who have served as regular knights as commanders of the army, but also have sufficient experience fighting monsters as adventurers in the upper reaches of the labyrinth city of Balduk, are not valuable talents.

--I didn't mean to take those two young men away from my men...

Are you so confident in your reign over Dasmorg?

If Al is the Viscountess, those two are the ones who can be counted on to compete for one and two in the House of Lords.

--Well, the other guys are overwhelmingly longer, and they probably know what they're up to, so do you have a choice...?

I tried to think for myself, but it's hard to accept.

--Even if you show loyalty to me...

Al's quest for a subordinate duchess is to manage, operate, and manage a city called Dasmorg.

To be honest, it wasn't a battle force that could be used directly against Al's hand.

And the man called Lord Andersen wasn't someone I couldn't understand.

--That's right...

Nell, the Reincarnator along with the Viscountesses, came to show his face.

After finding Al's free time, Nell said:

"To be honest, I regret that I couldn't make it immediately when invited directly by the Lord, and that I had a boring look, but I am very satisfied that I have been picked up by the Lordess and relied on." I think that my current life is also fully blessed, and I feel that it is worthwhile to maintain, improve and improve this..... "

I couldn't understand what he was trying to say, so Al was just returning to life.

"... and that's because you wrote me a letter of introduction at that time."

"Huh? No, it was Bastral who found you in the first place and called out..."

"Still, I think that's because you gave me your instructions." Otherwise, Mr. Bastol wouldn't have found us. "

"Hmm, is that so?" Well, I guess so. "

"Besides, you wrote me a letter of introduction without any hassle for such a boring glory."

"No, that was because I couldn't miss the Japanese at that time." I'll write you as many references as I can. "

"Fufu. I think it would be nice of you to say that honestly without dressing up."

Is that a good point?

"Yes. I haven't said anything about the honor I've told you..."

……

"Anyway, no matter what you thought at that time, I have something now... otherwise I would still be an adventurer in the labyrinth of Balduk, or I would have set up a therapeutic hospital."

Isn't that a bad idea?

"That's right. But even if I kept dealing with monsters in the labyrinth or opened a therapeutic hospital, I wouldn't be able to beat the current situation." It's not dangerous to be a labyrinth adventurer right now, and I've earned enough money. ”

“Well, that's good.”

"Yes, that's why I wanted to find the opportunity and thank you directly... I'm sure that the opportunity itself has always been there, but... sometimes I've been embarrassed... the more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm going to go ahead and fix myself..."

"I'm not even trying to solve my feelings, even if I don't care so much..."

"No... I can only be saved if you say so." Even now, I still say "glory", but in essence, I was only lying to mislead you about your decision. I'm sorry. And thank you. ”

In the end, I probably wanted to say thanks with an apology, but Al only had the impression from the bottom of his heart that he "cared so much".



September 16, 7451

--It's such a big army...

Hiding in the woods, Zess shuddered.

A few hundred meters down the road, watching hundreds of people, and by some accounts, more than a thousand armed people, move.

Of course, it is the army of Uncle Junker.

Even if you are a former Japanese, you have never seen as many troops move in your lifetime as you have in your lifetime.

At most, I have seen the occasional military parade by foreign armies on TV news programs.

--But it's kind of a muddy atmosphere...

He remembers soldiers marching with their goose legs (goose steps) in perfect alignment, carrying combat vehicles and guns running side by side against the backdrop of the nation's capital and famous square.

But the army-like people in the distance now looked far from such things.

The footsteps are not aligned at all, and I can feel that I am talking to people around me.

The armor seemed to be in place for each unit, but the armor and backpacks seemed to be heavy, and it just seemed like I was walking wildly.

In addition, since the march on the goose legs (goose step) is only a matter of appearance at ceremonies and parades, there is no military organization that merely moves such a march between the East and the West.

However, there will be no army to move around in such a disruptive fashion.

---You don't seem to have high morale... and aren't you well-trained?

It's not surprising that Zess thinks so, the pace of the soldiers is disturbed, and some riding knights are asleep while being swayed by their horsebacks.

However, this is the average unless it's a battle or an important public event, such as an austere army.

Not to mention, the current situation is not a place that has a lot of visibility, such as the city.

As Zess, who has only half-knowledge of human society, it is not impossible to judge by the half-knowledge acquired in previous life, but only this point may be close to the correct answer.

The streets are wide enough for one carriage, so the lines of moving troops are very elongated.

-48…… 49…… 50…… times 24 is roughly 1,200 people.

Counting the number while shifting the circle made with his right hand, and counting the number of people, Zeth commanded one of the minions who was standing beside him, "Go back immediately and tell them not to go out for a while."

No matter how morale seems low and discipline seems lax, the army is an army.

And that number is a threat.

Even if the training seems insufficient, some of them are well-trained, and some of them are likely to use magic.

The number of Zess's subordinates has slightly increased, and it is possible that the opponent can win the battle depending on the fighting method, but it is also inevitable that he will suffer great damage.

Best of all, if the Dark Elves were mixed up, they would be forced to run away on their own instead of winning.

- Is it going to start a war?... well, I guess so.

I'm not interested in a war between humans at this time.

No, I'm interested, but I'm not going to stick my neck in it.

In addition, if there is a battlefield trail, the body of the soldier killed and abandoned will be food, and there is a high chance of obtaining valuable metal weapons and other equipment.

― ― We shouldn't miss the fight anyway.

Metal weapons and other items will be valuable among humans, and we must not observe whether or not we can obtain such items.

Otherwise, you won't get what you get, and you won't be able to grasp the strength of a real army.

Moreover, the tactics that will be used on the battlefield and the command of the troops will be of great help to Zess.

--Would you like to try it on for a while...?

When he saw off the army, he left a few men there to contact him, and Zess decided to return to the base once.



September 17, 7451

Two mercenaries, the Red Army and the Augur Regiment, are leaving Hesketh two days late for their home unit as a backdrop to their offensive against the Kingdom of Lombard.

According to a liaison officer prepared by Uncle Junkel, as of today, the delay was packed by a day and a half, and the Red Army captain, Vasco Benditz, stroked his chest with a smooth stroke.

By the time you reach the village of the Kingdom of Lombardy, your immediate destination in the Gisool Valley, you'll be about a day behind schedule.

"Hey, Tania. Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"I have the affairs of the detachment, that's fine. We can't be together."

"Don't say that, come on." Usually, it's not something you do while you're on the move, is it? "

Another young man from the Augur Regiment - the captain's son is making trouble for Vasco's lieutenant, Tania.

As for Vasco, he is honestly angry, but he is also an opponent of the operation.

And his Augur Brigade boasts an incomparable strength compared to Vasco's Red Soldiers, and he is also the captain of the heavily armored cavalry, which can be said to be the core of it.

The number of heavy cavalry he leads is more than 40, which is more important than Vasco's red soldiers in terms of the importance of the operation.

But the other is the other, and the house is the house.

"Mr. Tax, would you mind confusing my lieutenant?" I have a discussion with her, so.... "

Kicking the belly of the horse and catching up with the two of them, Vasco said.

"Hmm. The captain of the poverty zone is only such a shikket armor... I mean, talking about the workmanship of gold is a big deal, right?"

Even though he was angry at the taxi that apparently looked at Vasco lightly, Vasco managed to thwart his rough emotions.

What he is saying in the first place is not entirely out of place.

The kitchen situation of the Red Soldier is not easy at all times.

“It's a big deal for us. I'm sorry, but if you would like to speak with the First Officer, please officially speak with the Commander of the Nephil Regiment.”

"Damn, in the second word, can you let my dad through?" My dad will retire in a few more years, and I'll take over. That's why.... "

"Still, the current head of the Augur Brigade is His Excellency Baron Zaboin Nephil. It's not you."

As for Vasco, here and there, he said, "I have a baronet too. The Imperial Imperial Virgin's mouth is unforgivable to the Baron." But I want to do it.

However, Vasco's title was originally obtained as a first-generation title in the kingdom of Rombert, which is the opponent of this battle, and he became the official baronet in the kingdom of Bakrny, who was mistaken in the inheritance.

Naturally, Vasco is no longer even an associate junta at the same time as his father's death, and he can't even call himself an aristocrat.

In short, a nobleman of lies.

In contrast, the Baroness of the Order of the Augars is the official title of the Kingdom of Cambits.

When I said something similar before, I was pointed out, and as Vasco, I thought I would never say it again.

Anyway, we managed to get rid of Tax.

"... I'm sorry."

Vasco apologizes for the loss.

"I'm used to it, and I don't care anymore... because I'll always be steadfast when you're around."

Tania replied with a little joy.

……

Vasco, on the other hand, cannot give one thoughtful answer.

It was because I felt sorry that the Red Soldier I was leading was lacking in strength.

In this battle, we will have no choice but to take a bigger leverage than the Augur Regiment and name the Red Soldiers.

In order to do that, it is necessary to keep your head twisted in anticipation of various situations.

Even though she was an adjutant, Tania understood Vasco well in her heart.
