Episode 199

The construction of the fort, which I secretly call myself “The Princess of Flame and the Snow Castle”, was proceeding smoothly.

Originally, temporary huts were built at the base of Eleora's army.

There are simple fences and barracks. Or, if you don't, you will definitely die.

It's not that difficult, because you just surround it with a snow barrier.

However, the troubles are still constant.

The outside was getting noisy as I read through the procurement planning documents. Is it a quarrel?

This is where the most powerful people trained in combat gather to fight. There are many fights.

The role of commander is to arbitrate if a riot is about to occur, so I come up a little.

It looks like an outside barrier construction site.

Oh, isn't that voice from the Gurney brothers?

"I'll kill you!

Gurney is yelling. His younger brother has also revealed his anger, and is about to transform. Please stop.

The Gurney brothers seemed to yell at the soldiers working.

Those are the ones who came to the Eléora army as disciplinary units. The soldiers were the garrets of Sveniki Castle, reporting to the traitor, Count Liag.

"Hey, no! Listen to the story!"

Disciplinary soldiers are desperately trying to defend, but Brother Gurney, whose blood is rising in his head, has no ears to hear.

This is going to be annoying, so I hurry in.

"Wait wait, what happened?"

Gurney pointed at the wall and shouted,

"Vight, they broke the wall!"

Is that true?

Looking sideways, a removed snow lump is rolling around. A lot of work has receded.

Gurney shouts.

"Weid, these guys are the dubniste family!"

Who is Dobniste?

I accidentally translated it into Japanese.

You are loved by the god of laughter, you are.

I soothe my cousin's stupid brothers to get things done.

"Wait, let's hear what they say. You'll have to decide whether to punish."

When I looked back, the soldiers in the garrison of Sveniki Castle were appealing to me.

"In this snow, it will melt first in the early spring."

"Dark snow is useless. It is not suitable for snow cave."

"It's quick to melt."

Oh, it was.

If you look closely, all the rolling snow clumps are muddy inside.

It seems that the snow has been removed somewhere, but this is no good.

The Gurney brothers seem confused and still angry.

"Isn't the color relevant! It doesn't matter what you look at!"

"Do you think you will be deceived by such an appropriate lie!

I smiled.

"No, they're right."

"Let's look!

Gurney looks back and cracks his eyes.

"Vight, what is it now?"

I explained them in plain language as much as possible while remembering their understanding.

"The dark color well stores the sun's light. It's easy to warm up. Therefore, in snowy countries, black sand is used to melt the snow quickly."

"Howl ..."

"You're as detailed as ever, you ..."

There wasn't much snow in the werewolf's hiding village, but his previous grandmother lived in the mountains.

That's the story I heard then.

That's it, but I'm going to tell you even more.

"On the contrary, the white color is hard to warm up. Look at the Belousa and Lozzo, the buildings and clothes were whitish, aren't they hot?

The Gurney brothers looked down and began to whisper.

"Do you remember your brother?"

"I can't remember it."

After all it is impossible. I didn't say it.

But Gurney continues,

"I can't make any mistakes with what Waid says.

"Okay, brother."

I can hear you.

"Oh, oh ... yes! I was right!"

"It was white! Because the hair of Taisho was also white!"

It has nothing to do.

Anyway, it's okay because the space is settled.

Don't expect much from the Gurney brothers.

I laugh at them.

"Don't despise the soldiers raised in the snowy country. You see, you misunderstood.

"Oh ... that's right."

They nodded and bowed down at the soldiers of the punishment unit.

"Sorry, we were wrong."

"I was suspicious, forgive me."

Gurney and his brothers seemed to have grown up a little after experiencing various things, although they would never have allowed humans to bow before.

The soldiers are stunned by the two who lower their heads.

I also smiled at the punishment soldiers.

"Mirardia soldiers are not familiar with snow, but you have helped us. This is your achievement. I will report."

The expressions of the soldiers suddenly became brighter, and the expression changed to an explicit expression of relief.

Achievement will relieve you of your punishment and return you to your original life.

I again instructed me not to use the dark snow and turned to the punishment soldiers.

"However, why did you do this for the Eleora camp?-Are you guys in the Dniesk army?"

I'm an enemy of their master.

It is a line that is grudged.

They laughed and shook their heads.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Liag, but Liag has died and there is no one to serve."

"Even if we pledge allegiance to the Dniesk side, that would not be called ..."

"We also have a family. I want to be free soon and go home."

The betrayed Earl Liag seems to have been admired for a while, but this is not the case for ordinary soldiers.

For them, the lord is just the president who works. They are employees of the Dniesk Group, Liag.

"I will work with you so that you can finish your punishment early and return to the defense of Sveniki Castle."

"Thank you"

They bowed as if they were aware of our identity or were afraid.

Some of Sveniki Castle's garrisons have witnessed the werewolf squadrons attacking.

It seems that the werewolf was talked about at the martial law conference, but nobody listens to what the soldiers at the end, traitors say.

They were being discarded by other nobles as an incompetent group whose castle was robbed by a few soldiers.

Were killed by a werewolf and saved lives, and they were all upset.

With such a feeling, sometimes troubles occur, but the construction proceeds safely.

The Warroy army in the castle at Lake Jojo seems to be aware of this move.

However, on the opposite shore, Ashley's army seemed to be on the verge of disappointing, so it seemed that he could not easily find a way out.

The current problem is that there is not enough snow.

I want to make the barrier higher. Like a full-fledged castle wall, we want to be able to climb without a long ladder for the siege.

But this requires a tremendous amount of snow, which is certainly not enough. I make ice, but still not enough.

All the fresh snow nearby has been collected, and if you use the muddy snow below, it will melt from there.

Bolsh, the work supervisor, returned with a difficult face.

"At the moment, I can't help preventing infantry invasion, but it's more than enough to prevent cavalry charges and arrows."

"Is this the only thing we can do in the snow-collecting unit?"

When I grinned, the Lenkov platoon commander of the magic battalion came in.

"Sir Weid says there are reports from the punishment soldiers."

I will go to the construction site and hear from them.

Then the platoon leader of the punishment unit advanced.

"Weid, heavy snow will probably come later tonight. Please arrange for everyone to warm up and be ready to collect the snow tomorrow."

The elder warrior pointed at a distant mountain with his gnarled fingers.

"It's a mountain that locals call the snowy wolf mountain. In this season, it is unlikely that there will be snow clouds, but it will always be heavy snow."

According to the legend, heavy snow falls every few decades.

He actually experienced it when he was young.

Since Sveniki Castle is not far from here, the garrison of Sveniki Castle is familiar with the geography and climate around it.

I decided to believe in old soldiers' words. There is nothing to lose if the snowfall forecast falls off, and if it hits, it may freeze to death.

"Okay, let's arrange it right away. It's going to be snow of grace."

Of course, I will not forget this.

"You have helped me again. I will report your achievements responsibly."

Soldiers with happy faces.

I'll do it with alcohol later.

Later that night, snow began to fall silently, as the old soldiers said.

It was heavy snow that couldn't be seen before. Big snowflakes are falling rapidly while dancing in the wind.

"Ah, Mr. Weid. No, you can catch a cold if you wear light clothes."

Lashii came and wound a muffler around my neck.

You're becoming more and more like a grandmother in the countryside.

Lashii looks up at the sky and first rounds the eyes of the snow turbulence that is rarely seen in Miraludia.

"It's better than Klauchen, this is it."

"It seems to be once in decades even in Rolmund."

"Tensuke is that guy!"

"It's too much by accident"

It's too lucky that heavy snowfall once every few decades falls just when snow is scarce.

I suddenly saw a mountain pointed by an old soldier. South direction.

"South ..."

To the south is, of course, Miraldia.

I suddenly remembered a great sage wearing diamond dust.

No way.

The master is a master and has a job to bundle the Demon King's army. You can't fly this far with transfer magic, and you can't tell your situation.

Oh, but did Miraraldia have an astrologer, Meety? Is there a possibility?

No, no way.

Rashii has a difficult face with his arms folded, thinking of the same thing as me.

"Maybe this is Mr. Movi ...?"

"Now, how about ..."

Let's ask if we can return home safely.

I suddenly imagined Gomoviloa, a great sage, floating far above the Northern Walls.

It is a master who dances happily when swirling while wearing the freezing cold.

"Fufu, myself and the guy are no good."

I felt like I could hear such a tweet.

"I don't think it's true, but thank you for the moment."

I bow down south. Rashi followed her head down.

We raise our heads and look away.

"It's cold ..."

"Oh, yes. The members of the squadron battalion have made a sweet bean soup.

"Oh, good.

It will be busy tomorrow.

I'll do my best, Master.
