Episode 322

Apparently they seem to be rattling across the sea, so I decided to hurry up the reorganization of the Milaldia army.

Since the Senate-era military regime was a mess, the knights, aristocratic officers, the militants, civilian graduates, and the mercenaries on a commissioned basis were mixed up.

Currently, all are managed by the council because there is no help for it.

What I want most is a knight.

As members of the aristocracy, they cannot cultivate the fields, so they have no choice but to continue to hire as soldiers.

On the other hand, ability is high. He is an expert in tactics and command, and can do calculations if he can read the text. We observe military orders and laws. It's a big difference from a mercenary like a bandit.

So I gathered the knights of Miraludia and suggested:

"Your loyalty and bravery are roaring not only to councilors, but also to the Demon King. When you were enemies, you were the greatest enemy of the Demon Army."

This is not a lie, so I will emphasize it.

My morale didn't break down, the equipment was fine, I was healthy because I was eating good things, and I really burned my hands.

If the Senate had not disturbed the scene by disturbing the Knights, the Demon King would have struggled more.

"You are now under the direct control of the Council, but it is your Majesty the Demon King who governs Miraraldia. The army of the Demon King will be essential."

Warroy once asserted that "I need an emperor's army," but I agree with it.

At the moment, human soldiers are inconvenient because they cannot be moved without a council vote.

On the other hand, the Demon King's army can freely move the Demon King, but the members are all demons.

Dispatching to other countries may be a bit problematic in terms of logistics and local activities.

I was worried about the upheaval in the Kingdom of Quebec across the South Shizumi, so I wanted to reorganize the army so that it could be sent there.

I want an army with responsiveness, flexibility, morale and skill.

"Therefore, the Demon Army wants to recruit human soldiers to increase its strength. The Demon Army exists to protect the humans and demons of Milardia, so their mission remains the same."

I told him as calmly as possible, but the knights still seem nervous. You can tell by the smell.

I chose words for persuasion.

"The Majesty is now the Eilean Devil. As a Lünheit servant and as a human, you will have a familiar feeling."

At the moment I said, the expressions of the knights were loosened slightly. You can tell the atmosphere by smell. I'm calm.

I coughed and continued talking, feeling my face getting a little hot.

"Those who wish to join the Demon King's Army will be called" Magic Knights "to distinguish them from those who report directly to the Council."

"A magical war knight? ..."

The knights were amazed.

Title and fame are very important to them.

Milardia Knights and Knights have some aspects like professional athletes and teams. A high rank in the famous Knights promises a high salary.

To that end, fame as a knight and past achievements are very important.

They are not pursuing honor with Date or madness.

So I fluttered them.

"The Demon Knight is an advanced post that performs advanced tasks, such as coordinating operations with demons. This is only for knights like you, who have been active."

Everyone nods.

Everyone has pride as a professional soldier.

Because they have been highly trained since childhood as a knight.

In this world, "a warrior who can read and write, understands war at the strategic level, and values law and morality" is surprisingly valuable.

"And the Demon Knight is a direct knight of the Demon King, assigned to the most dangerous mission among the knights. If you are an inexperienced person, you will not be able to return home if you become a Demon Knight. You should be able to complete such a task. ''

In other words, an invitation to the elite squad. Let me smell so.

"Of course, the treatment will be better. The salary will be added a little, and the cost of armor etc will be owned by the Demon Army. Use the best equipment."

And there is something important.

"A retired Demon War Knight will be paid a lifetime pension. In the event of a war death, a pension for the bereaved family will be paid for thirty years, and if he is alive he will give farmland every ten years of service."

There is no such guarantee for military personnel anywhere in the world yet.

The trade with the country of Wa has made the national treasury a little richer, so we decided to use it for personnel expenses.

The country is made up of people.

You have to take care of people.

I tighten my face and tell them with a scary face on purpose.

"That's a transfer that involves that much danger. It's not left to cowards very much."

I sigh on purpose and shake my head.

"The Demon Army wants only the dauntless fierce. I won't force me at all. I think it's a difficult decision, so come to a conclusion by spring."

Then the old knight advanced.

"Deputy Minister, if you are a dauntless fierce man, you are here. Please give me the Demon Knight."

The other knights immediately advance.

"I have no fear of danger! I will be a magical war knight!"

"I can't just leave the great role of protecting the Majesty to the demons!"

"His Excellency, me too!"

I got on, I got on.

I have a very serious face, nodding heavy.

"As expected, they are the brave-sounding Milardia knights. I'm proud to fight with you as a member of the Demon Army."

The former king, not Friedenrichter, finally managed to bring the human knights into the Demon King's army.

I didn't expect that such a day would come.

On the spot, I took the candidate to commission a Demon War Knight and shook hands with each one.

At a later date, they will be subject to an ordinance of ordinance directly from the Demon King Airia. The other guys can look at it and decide slowly.

I return to my office with a smile in my heart.

He contacted the Baron, the commander of the Knights of the Ryujin, and explained the situation in the office.

"That's why I decided to hire human knights in the future. It may be a bit difficult to handle, but thank you."

The blue knight, known as a master of twin swords, nodded with a gentle expression.

"Please leave it, Mr. Weid. I'm quite used to talking to humans, so I'll do it well."

"That helps a lot"

Among the dragons, known as expressionless solids, Bartze is a pretty cheerful class.

According to the Ryujin soldier, "It's always fun, but he's a fierce fighter, and he can do both military and political affairs ..."

Is it a very good but disappointing person? I only see him as a solid thing.

He seems so strange to the dragons that he is soft.

Since I was a freshman, Bartice, a senior veteran, had been in touch with me without feeling a hierarchical relationship.

So I trust him very much.

As usual, after a chat about work, I heard about the Red Knight Schule.

"By the way, what is Shule like now?"

Schule is a woman of the dragon race and a colleague of Bartse. He seems to be the most beautiful woman of the Dragon race. Baltze is in love with her.

Soon Bartze became restless.

"Shu, Schule?-Well, yeah, well."

Ryujin who react like humans are certainly unusual.

It's interesting, so I'll try a little more.

"Balze, today's military is over, isn't it? I have imported molasses, so let's drink it with sake."

Molasses imported from the southern continent is made from sugarcane. Made from molasses, a by-product of sugar production.

Rolmund has sugar beets and sugar cane on the south continent.

It grows in Miradia, which has a different climate, but cannot harvest enough to meet demand. So sugar is expensive.

The common sweets are dried fruits.

I mix a little bit of citrus juice with clear molasses. And a little precious sugar. I'm going for a daiquiri.

However, since there is no shaker or ice, I will steer lightly and complete it.

"Wayde, why are you so apologetic?"

"No ... there's a better way to drink it."

If you have a shaker, ice and a good bartender, it will taste like a paradise in this world.

Sorry for such a poor cocktail.

"This juice is quite fragrant, so today I've reduced it to about 15 to 1. Montgomery."

"What is it?"

"In the past, there was a cautious general with such a name. It seems that he would not attack unless he was about 15 to 1 dominant."

I don't know the details because it's a story I heard in my previous life.

First of all, it's about Martini, and it has nothing to do with Daiquiri.

No, if it's a frozen daiquiri, it's the last minute with Hemingway connection.

"I'm basically the same as General Montgomery. You have the courage to fight without overwhelming dominance."

When I say that, Bartse looks strange.

"Whether you're going to be outnumbered and charged alone?"

"If I go alone, would I be the only one who would be wiped out?"

I said so and smiled and gave Balze a cup.

Toast with them, and I drink a sip of molasses cocktail. The squeezed juice is effective and refreshing. The palatability is getting better.

Yeah, it was a 15-on-1 correct answer.

However, it is sad to be lukewarm for a cocktail.

"We can see that our troops have become 15 to 1 visually, but it is troublesome to be invisible to humans."

"It's not a number."

Bartze nods.

Certainly it would be easier if it was easy to understand like a game.

"To me, just a coward, negotiations with humans were terrifying, but still."

"Humbly"

Bartse laughs, but I'm a human being so I know the fear of humans.

Bartse smiles and tilts the cup quietly.

"Still, Waid reconciled with the humans, and on the contrary, was married to a human being. It's a strange one."

"No, romance was particularly difficult ... I'm not good at anything that can't be guessed by theory."

"I see. Women's hearts are like the wind. They are invisible and cannot be captured, but they certainly shake my scales."

A very poet, Bartse.

"How did Mr. Weid catch the heart of Her Majesty? I would like to refer to it."

"In fact, it's refreshing to me ... It's like being launched on the beach while struggling on the ocean."

Without Drowlight's treasure case, I was probably still in a relationship between Ilia and her colleagues.

I'm a timid person, and I have to be about 15 to 1 to take action.

And in the case of romance, it's hard to tell how far the distance is, 15: 1. I still don't know.

Maybe you won't know.

Still, there was one thing I could say.

"But if I waited until I was convinced of the victory, I would probably miss the plane. I was in danger."

"So that's it……"

Bartce stares and then empty the cup.

"I heard a good story. The married person's opinion is also helpful."

As he got up, I tilted my head.

"Are you already going home?"

"Yes, I could do a little bit. I'm sorry."

A few days later Bartze came to my office singing her humming.

Congratulations, Barcese.

In addition, it seems that the recipe I made at this time was too popular and the recipe spread along with Bartse's chatter.

It has been called "the blow of the werewolf" or "blessing of the aide", and has become a staple at the Lünheit tavern as an auspicious liquor for reckless victory.

It's not that delicious ...
