Price of Management

“In the meantime, ligand territory has undergone drastic changes. The Tex River Basin was on track, and the population was doubled with the influx of new territories. Thanks to this, the territory is unprecedented, but sometimes you will feel confused. ”

Dean, the most confused craftsman, nods justly.

“So this is the opportunity to significantly reorganize the management system of the territory and establish a new order. In that sense, Dean comes forward first. ”

“Yes, Lord! ”

Dean walks out and kneels before me.

“I appoint Knight Dean as my captain. I want you to cover all military operations on the territory. ”

“Yes, Lord. ”

Everyone was embarrassed by this decision.

“Then who's the lord's successor? ”

“Well. Is there someone else in charge of the lord? ”

“You've done well... ”

However, unlike everyone's embarrassment, Dean found himself extremely satisfied.

In the beginning, Dean was a soldier from the Horn Empire for a long time. I'm an expert on military matters, but I was forced to do other things. You must feel like you've finally found your place.

“And Baron Paoni. ”

“Yes, Earl. ”

Baron Paoni, the genius architect, walks out loud.

“I will appoint you the Construction Officer of the Territory. ”

“Construction Officer? ”

Baron Paoni, of course, tilted his head. It would be the first job I've heard of.

I just made it.

“It is responsible for overseeing matters relating to the civil and architecture of the territory. Switch this territory with your sense of genius. ”

“Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Baron Paoni takes it for granted. Because this is what he got me into in the first place.

“Last but not least, Vale. ”

“Yes? Oh, yes, Lord. ”

The veil hurries forward, surprised and surprised that it didn't know it was going to be called.

I looked at the veil and opened my mouth.

“I appoint Knight Vale as my new lieutenant. ”

“ ……?! ”

The veil flashes in shock.

Baron Dean and Paoni, who are kneeling next to each other, are also surprised to see the veil.

“On Lord Vale's behalf? ”

“But he……. ”

The hall on the first floor was buzzing.

You'd be surprised how long ago Vail, the leader of the Bandits, would become Lord of the Realm. But, you know, I think it's a perfect fit.

Let's see the veil from the days of the bandit leader.

Horse is the leader of the bandits, almost the lord. He has ruled over 1,000 men and thousands of their families in a barren environment called the Balad Mountains.

A crowd equal to the population of the Ligand Territory was ruled in the Ballard Mountains that are much more barren than the Ligand Territory. However, you can see the outstanding charisma of the veil as long as the group does not collapse and is well maintained.

And judging by the current state of the ligand territory, the veil cannot be ignored.

Who is the most popular member of the Ligand territory?

Of course I am.

And after me?

Originally, it would have been Dean, the Lord's successor.

However, thousands of the inhabitants who lived with the Vale Bandits in the Vallard Mountains were introduced into the ligand territory. They will still support the veil that led them.

That is, half the population of the current ligand territory supports the veil.

Moreover, more than 1,000 members of the Bandits who used to work for Vale became soldiers in the territory.

This means that the influence of the veil will become stronger over time.

Then you don't have to just rot away in Vale's leadership. He is more suitable for a lieutenant than Dean.

“Joo, Joo! I'm not the subject of such a great position. Just being the Lord's knight made me glorious.... ”

The embarrassed veil says something, but I shake my hand to stop it.

“I've already confirmed your abilities in the Vallard Mountains. Your past as the leader of the Bandits is not a big deal, but I decided to forget it all when I became my knight. ”

I kept talking to everyone in the hall.

“The veil is qualified and capable enough to carry out its lord's duties. I appoint him as Lord because I have judged him so. Therefore, I will not forgive anyone who disregards the authority of Vale as a matter of the past from this day forward. ”

The whole hall became accustomed to my ambition.

I looked at the veil and said,

“So do you, Vale. There are now a handful of you leading this territory, and more than 1,000 of them were your men. If you indulge in any kind of treachery with them, or if they believe in you as their lord, and act accordingly, they will be punished without hesitation. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

“Baron Paoni, Knight Dean, Knight Vale. Together, these three must become the main pillars of ligand territory. Baron Paoni's architecture, Dean's military side, and all the rest of the territory have the power and responsibility of the Vale. Unless otherwise problematic, ligand territory is governed by this regime. More than.”

After everything I had to say, I got up and left the hall.

New Lord Vale, Captain Dean and Baron Paoni the Construction Officer.

The three of them had an awkward time sitting across from the Lord's Office. It was the first meeting since the reign was reorganized with the triangle of three people.

The reason these three came together was because the state trooper, Carroc, was instructed to make plans to take over the Tex River basin.

You break the silence, and Dean opens the door first.

“Lord Vale, I must congratulate you first. ”

“Oh, thank you. I'm afraid many of you will be worried that someone like me will become lord of the throne. ”

The veil carefully examines Dean's concerns. Dean shakes his head.

“That's not true. I was surprised by your surprise, but I have no complaints. I resigned from the position of lieutenant because I was my own doctor, and the lord's judgment never went wrong. Don't worry about it. Get it over with. ”

Baron Paoni nods.

“Now that you're the Lord's successor, let's keep our heads down. Earl, when you take the time to get here, you'll need to move quickly through the Tex River. To use that great animosity. ”

“Thank you for your encouragement. So let's really talk about the Tex River. ”

Dean and Baron nod.

The veil unfolds on the table and begins the story.

“Among the monsters living in the Tex River basin, the Orc tribe was successfully wiped out, leaving only the Lizardman tribe. ”

“I found an ogre while trying to ambush him through the mountain pass at the back.... ”

Dean mutters, kicking his tongue.

“That's right. But I don't need to worry about the ogre now that the Lord is here. ”

Dean nods at Vale's words.

“You're absolutely right. More than that, the Lizardmen are no longer a concern of mine. It's a pretty prolific Lizardman tribe that dominates the Tex River basin, but it's only a post-appetite movement for the Lord. ”

“Yes, so there's no need for an initial strategy to lure an ambush into the mountains after an ambush on a mountain pass. So I would like to change the policy on exterminating the Tex River itself, but would you agree with Sir Dean? ”

“That's a fair point. Let's keep listening to the story. ”

“Yes. I think the Lord's plan is to block all roads and wipe them out when he attacks the Lizardmen." ”

“Agreed.”

“And more importantly, each point is to garrison an army in the Territory so that monsters will never breed near the Tex River again. ”

“The point is? ”

“It's a way to pre-empt the right place for the monsters to take the lead. I'm not proud of it, but this is how I took over the Balad Mountains during the Bandits. ”

“Oh? I went to the Vallard Mountains when I was a mercenary, by the way. Monsters used to roam more abundantly than this territory at the time, but I'm surprised they dominated such a place. ”

“I'm ashamed. I got lucky just trying to eat. ”

The veil scratches its head and smiles.

As the atmosphere grew warmer, the three of them took some momentum and developed plans for the Tex River pioneering.
