Early in the morning.

North of the Kingdom of Rombert.

Frakis, the second city of the Duke of Bertels' Realm, bordering the Granan Empire.

Knights of the Kingdom garrison on the outskirts of the city.

At present, there are many soldiers fighting there, mainly the Second Knight Regiment and the Fourth Knight Regiment.

Milu came back to the garrison yesterday, but she was asleep last night because the time was late.

And today, a few days ago, I finished the pre-march instruction for a total of three squadrons that had moved from the Southern General Army.

Of course, Miroux and the others ran to the capital every day to tell the battle situation.

All right, units, let's go!

A total of just under 800 troops began to move on Miroux's orders.

Only about 100 Knights of the Fourth Knight, who had originally been ordered to defend Frakis, remained in Frakis.

"I want to get to Curry by tomorrow, but..."

Milu said on horseback, but it was a little difficult to consult.

There is no need to worry about the weather as long as there is no heavy rainfall or storm to avoid snowfall.

However, there were two main roads leading from Flukis to Curry, but both of them had quite a few difficulties, which took a lot of time.

Of course, there is a third path, but if you choose it, the overall itinerary will be about twice as long, and there will not be any difficulties.

In the first place, Lord Lardock, who had already passed away as Miroux's superior and was aiming to invade the Kingdom of Junkel, had also chosen a third path.

In any case, since the main purpose of this time was to speed up the number of days until the arrival of the curry, it was considered unavoidable that some sacrifices would be made in difficult places.

It's a good weekend, isn't it?

The Lieutenant will answer, but it will be reasonable.

"Ahh, that's right after all..."

There are many narrow cliff trails that only one rider can cross.

If you make a mistake, you'll be in the valley.

Such places can be disassembled once by wagons and carriages, and they cannot be passed unless they are transported by hand.

In addition, there is no reason why the Duke of Bertels could not be more careful against the invasion of the Junkel Kingdom and thus the Granan Empire.

In this era, even if there is some inconvenience, the difficult road becomes a defense facility against external enemies.

It has a higher defensive effect than building a full-scale barrier against cities and villages.

In fact, even in the earth until the Middle Ages, there were a few cities and villages with barriers.

It exists, but it stands in the way of the expansion of the city.

In addition, it takes time and effort to transport materials such as stones, and it costs a lot of money and time to build.

In the first place, it was useful only in times of war, such as the barrier, and only in the case of the castle when it was attacked.

Even if it is not an important city, it will not have the benefit of being worth the cost of building a barrier.

"So, what do you want to do? Do you still want to go ahead?"

Milu laughed at Sergeant Murag, who asked, “Of course.”

Reinforcements are entrusted to lieutenant Knight Sir Kinshasa and another soldier, and four or less of them advance to Curry.

It will be necessary to work hard, but with only four people, we can expect to arrive by tonight.

Not to mention the fact that all four of them belonged to the First Knights.



It is about 50 kilometers southeast of Hesketh, the capital of Uncle Junkel's country.

A large tree grows in the midst of a small hill overlooking the city of Gerk.

There was a small voice in the cave.

"That's right. Then I guess I didn't take it in...?"

It's Mi Mi Mi.

In front of the sinus (willow), there was a thin thread that was not well observed.

“Okay, go there again and observe.”

Mi Mile's voice slowly moved into the forest.

"So, were you listening?... are you still asleep?"

There was not a single sound coming from the cave.

Midwest Dart (Count Lancel Territory)

Daytime.

A few hours from the nearest village.

Although it is not super express, it still runs at a speed of more than 10 km/h, and finally arrives at the construction site of the fourth fortress.

The third (Cervonne) fortress built in the central Dart region (Count Dressler's territory) has been completed on a rough square, so today I stopped by to build a fourth fortress that has not yet been completely burned down.

Since there have been two large-scale fires so far, there is no obstacle to visibility in a fairly wide area.

However, the remaining trunk of the burning tree is still there, so it's quite a windy scenery, and the view is not very pleasant.

This fourth fortress is going to be built more attractively than the third (Cervonne) fortress, so we need to prepare it carefully.

Next to the planned construction site, there is already a luxurious barracks to describe it as a "barracks", filling a platoon of infantry.

Well then, let's go burn it.

I didn't even take a break before I arrived, so I didn't like Bath or Hegs.

"These guys..."

"Bath, Hegs, follow me."

Well, I can leave the guards to the infantry, but without the horses, we'll have time to move.

Got it.

When you drop off your saddlebags with the infantry you pick up, you drive your horses with them.

Today and tomorrow.

I think that if we work hard for two more days, the area of the original plan can be baked up.

The truth is that we want to start building the foundation, but we need to completely remove the remaining burning trees, so we will still need a little more time to start building the foundation.



October 22, 7451

Kingdom of Rombert, capital of the kingdom of Rombertia.

The owner of the royal castle there had an unexpectedly disgusting expression.

A subordinate stands in front of the king's desk.

It hasn't been a minute since my men entered this office.

"... so you quit Curry?"

The king asks his subordinates with the look of biting down several bitter insects at the same time.

The Northern Front has reported.

You were supposed to invade from here after next spring.

It must have taken the king by surprise to be completely ahead of him.

"Huh..."

His subordinates are stuck in words with a thoughtless expression.

"Give me the map..."

Perhaps the king's men had prepared a large parchment in advance.

It contains a map of the Duke of Bertels in the northeast of the kingdom.

You can read "Jallow" next to the landmark of the easternmost village, and "Honkle" in the village to the west of the person, but both names are underlined by a red color.

By definition, it is a sign for cities and villages that fall into enemy hands.

It should be noted that there are no lines drawn in the Curry, which is drawn a little further to the west.

……

The king roared with a big sniff.

And as soon as I reached for the bell that was on the desk, I shook it violently.

"Is that what you want..."

One of the butlers serving the royal family, an old man of the elves bent over, appeared in the office.

"Call for a notarial account. Right now."

The old man disappears into the king's life.

"You stay put."

When he saw off the old man, he ordered his subordinates to stand by while standing still, and he began to look at the documents that had been dodged by the desk.

The treasury office is not far from Lombardy Castle, but it is still a few hundred meters away, so it will take some time for the treasury to come to this office.

"So, do you have a list of those captured by Honkulu and Jallow?"

The king, whose expression had disappeared, asked as he signed the document.

"No..."

His subordinates also replied with a careless face, but the king raised his face in anger at the answer.

Normally, you'd make a list of captured people.

"There's still time."

"... just say it."

“It was the Junkel army that was approaching Curry, but on the fourth day after the attack on Curry began, they retreated.”

"I've heard that already. Then what is the cause of the retreat?"

It seems that it is still under investigation, so it is not completely known, but it seems that the Jallow who occupied it earlier was attacked by a monster.

Monster?

The king asked in a sceptical voice.

Jarrow is a village occupied by Junkel's army.

I was supposed to be using a certain amount of force to guard the captives I'd normally gained and the loot before I sent them back.

It wasn't supposed to be anything like a monster attack.

"From the footprints and the bodies left behind, the group that attacked Jallow after the occupation was composed of Augur, Hobgoblin, Orc, Nord, Goblin, etc., and the total number is estimated to be very low, even if it is 200 or more."

"What? It's over two hundred!?"

With this number of stones, I had more guards than I could handle.

Not to mention, if only there was a Augur.

Before that, even in the group of monsters confirmed in the Kingdom and recorded in the past, the scale is about a few dozen times in the second half.

"Yes. In addition, there are records that monsters and other monsters may be used as slaves by other races, but this kind of multi-racial mix......"

The King also nodded to his men's reports.

It has been confirmed from time immemorial that orcs and the like can domesticate and ride horses and wolf monsters, and Nord and Hobgoblin and the like can enslave and obey even weaker races.

In addition, it is a much smaller number - at most a few - than your own group, and if it exceeds a few dozen or even a hundred...

It's true that even monsters talk like words.

“Yeah, it sounds very simple. However, there seems to be a difference between the races....."

"Hmm. I remember that too..."

After that, the two of them confirmed the information against the monster.

"... this should be called Naoshi Miyauchi..."

His men quickly lowered their heads and opened their mouths to the king's murmur.

"We are also calling out to Lord Darth Line." by now..... "

The Imperial Considerations are right next to the Imperial Castle.

Much closer than the Ministry of Accounts.

I see. Is it true that Jallow was the only one who was attacked by a monster?

"Yes, only Jallow is confirmed at the moment. Honkl didn't seem to have it, and most of those captured were left behind, and their testimonies were confirmed.”

"Jallow doesn't survive..."

"It seems that they killed all the lords and even the slaves... more than a hundred Junkel soldiers have been identified in the body..."

"I'll kill you all..."

"It's the cause of death, but it seems that many people were killed in the battle, but it seems that there were quite a lot of murders, and the whole village said that it looked miserable..."

A knock echoes in the office when a report is made to that extent.

He is the Marquis of the Darthline of Naosho Uchi.

When I asked him for the monster's opinion, the book of accounts, Brigadier Bertels, came along.

His father was the Duke of Bertels, who ruled the lands attacked by the Junkel kingdom, and he was set to succeed his father in the future.

Therefore, the military viewpoint was summoned to the land registry.
