Episode 111

With the birth of the Commonwealth of Milaldia, I have one more thing ... two more troublesome roles, but I was able to settle down a bit.

Don't come and go to the countries to increase your allies, at least after the railway is built.

With that in mind, I will expand the map for future directions.

"Oh?"

This map is a map of the whole southern part of Milaldia.

In fact, there is no proper map for Miraraldia.

Perhaps it's around the Senate, but the map that each city's Taisho surveyed is only around the city.

And they hate publishing them for military reasons.

As a result, the connections between cities are ambiguous, such as "Three days east on foot" or "If you come out on horseback with dawn, you will arrive by sunset".

No one knows whether the trade routes between cities are really optimized.

I've been using it for a long time, I just use it now.

However, the map also shows roughly the location of the cities.

Milardia is a country with an alpine zone called the "Northern Mountains" at the northern end and an inland sea at the southern end called the "South Shizumi".

I heard that there is land on the other side of the North Wall Mountains, and there is land on the other side of the South Shizumi.

However, there is little exchange in both.

It seems that the Northern Wall Mountains cannot be crossed without full-scale climbing equipment even in summer, so it is not a place to trade.

The south-eastern sea also has active east-west routes, so few ships head south.

The west is the "Daiki Sea" where the demons live, and the east is the great desert called the "wind ripple desert". Neither can be so easily crossed.

There are 17 cities in the Miraraldia Plain, surrounded by nature on all sides.

Eight of them are now part of the Demon King's army.

The map also had some new lines redrawn on trade routes.

"Oh, it's surprisingly close to Zaria."

Indeed, have you ever detoured more than necessary?

There is also a relatively flat route to Belousa, which seems quite useful.

I hope it will be helpful.

The only question is, "Who made this map?"

"Oh, maybe you're a Vite. You're just watching my masterpiece."

The Demon King Gomoviroa appears fluffy.

"Teacher, did you make this?"

The master nodded lightly.

"Working with dragon race technicians. Did you always say you need an accurate map?"

"I said ..."

I have not asked Her Majesty to survey me.

"Maybe the teacher was wandering in the name of making a map?"

She looked away as she glanced over the map at the teacher.

“I can see the terrain from the sky. I wonder if this would be a loss if not utilized.”

"It makes sense, but ..."

It seems that my motivation is impure, but it certainly helps.

However, is this second-generation Demon King pushing everything troublesome to me?

"By the way, the council did not want to attend, did you do that?"

The teacher then turns away from his eyes.

"The Rikken Kunsei, the form of the first king, is said to be the ultimate ideal.

Understanding is ugly.

He has a keen insight into magic and natural sciences research, but is completely useless in the humanities.

It's bad for teachers, but it's better to leave the politics to the field guards.

Constitutional enactment may not be possible yet, but let's do it in the form of the co-existence of the king and parliament.

Then, should you allocate work to the demon king who seems to be free?

"Teacher, it's okay if you have time, can you make a skeleton soldier about 12,000?"

"Well ... I guess you don't need it!"

"Because I will also help veterinary necromancers under senior Melene."

"What are you going to use for so much?"

Within our Federation of Milaldia, Berneheinen, Tuban, Zalia and Vera are adjacent to the north.

Looking at the completed map, it was once again clear that it was standing in front of the north.

"I want to deploy skeletal soldiers in these four cities, three thousand by three."

"What is the basis of three thousand?"

"At most, the Milaldia Alliance moves only a few thousand soldiers at a time. It only mobilized 2,000 in Zalia's attack, and the estimated limit would be five or six thousand."

Civil soldiers are not counted. It's just a professional warrior.

Civil soldiers have low skill and strength and do not pose a significant threat in expeditions or siege battles.

For example, I show a sketch of Berne Heinen as an example, and put thirty coins everywhere as a unit of 100 people.

"If you pick up six thousand soldiers across the wall, there are two thousand, what a great deal. But skeleton soldiers are not as flexible as humans, so three thousand to make room for them."

"If you sum up 12,000, it will take 4 months. How about 20005?"

"HM……"

I chose five coins out of thirty and removed them.

It's pretty much the same, but it doesn't cost any maintenance and I want a lot.

"Then, for the time being, we're going to deploy 2,000 each, and then increase it by a thousand."

The teacher is sighing in my reply.

"Would it be nice to have such an aide who uses the Demon King ..."

"Is it okay to have a demon king who pushes such annoying things to his deputy?"

I and my teacher look away and smile at each other.

"Well, there is no way. This is also the king's will."

"Yes, let's do our best."

At that time, Ilia came to the office, so we decided to take a break and talk with us.

"By the way, Lord Eyria, could you tell me about this" Wasteland of Discord? "

Looking at the map, I pointed to the wilderness that spreads between the south and the north.

According to the master's survey, it is not a wilderness, but rather a rich land with forests and grasslands.

Then Iria clouded her expression.

"After the end of the Reunification War, the" War of the Discord "was enacted as insurance against a civil war.

In order to make it a non-aggressive blank zone, it seems that the document says, "This is a wilderness," and we will leave it without reclamation.

"Since the south is independent, control here is first-come-first-served."

"Yes, I don't know how the northern part moves ..."

The Demon King has not yet considered invading the north.

Northern People's sentiment for the Demon King is worst, as the Second Division has done much in the past.

Forcibly occupying will only be a hassle. If a northern citizen becomes a guerrilla, it will not be noticeable.

However, there is a possibility that they will be set up from the north.

"Okay, let's set up a surveillance base with the protection of trade routes as nominal. We'll make a few forts in the wilderness of discord and have a small unit of troops there.

"Let's talk to the next council because it costs money and people."

It costs construction and maintenance costs, but if you're locked in a city wall, no information comes in.
