"There are two main types of military alliances between the Dragon Nation and the Moving Nation. One is defense fighting together. I mean, if either country gets attacked, let's fight together. If one of the cities of the moving-country is attacked, the moving-country and the dragon-country become enemies. Sounds like it."
"That's a pretty strong alliance, isn't it?"
I can't afford to wage war with this.
"Right. The other is military cooperation. This has sent a large number of driven infantry troops to the path of the Shadow Moon."
"I've heard that. He said he was also good at driving infantry to gain combat experience."
"Quite a few of them are still being mobilized. But if you do, you won't have enough driven infantry in the country."
"Right. I wonder what's going on."
"I'm making it up to you with dragons, but there's a back here, and everyone sent by Dragon Nation is a non-combatant dragon jockey."
"... Huh?
"I told you. There's a back. By the way, the Athletic Country has also been recognized. Dragon manipulators sent by Dragon Nation have been responsible for communications, reconnaissance and transportation."
It seems that the information network of fellow merchants has been stretched everywhere, and many of these facts were soon to be known, he said.
Send driven infantry to Dragon Nation that can fight from the Moving Nation to prepare for a major transfer.
Instead, they send dragons to the kingdom of moves, but they are just the type of dragons who do not fight within the dragon.
"The dragon jockey my dad used from time to time is going over there, too. I met him the other day, and he was doing fine."
"Are you sure? You're a non-combatant, aren't you? So military cooperation? It's made up as an exchange?
"That's why we have a defensive fight. The dragon will contact you soon. The dragon army is coming from Dragon Country. That kind of alliance."
The dragon kingdom ran out of dragon jockeys, but instead of putting in action dragon jockeys who had been non-combatants for years and decades, he said, he hit the moving-country driven infantry.
Instead, he sends non-combatant dragon jockeys to the Athletic Nation to use them.
Dragon kingdom and mover kingdom gain from each other. They created the contents of the alliance to be so.
"I see. That might be a pretty good way to do it."
The Moving Power's defense decreases, but Dragon Country manages that in hindsight.
Driven infantry has a short operating time in the first place, so it has to be transported from other clan territories for days. It's not good for backpacking.
Given that, it is many times easier to use a dragon where reinforcements can rush quickly.
If aggression from other countries is kept solely for surveillance, the costs near the border can also be reduced.
As Linda says, I guess it's a mutually beneficial relationship.
"I heard the Dragon Nation also has an apprenticeship in driving infantry operations, so it's a good idea to take the military."
"I guess you mean the backup system"
Maybe I told Her Majesty I was paying attention.
I would have introduced it from the time of the roundabout to create a base immediately rear to operate, but that would be the only burning blade.
Apprentice of the sophisticated operation of the country seems like a good thing.
"I get it. And then there's the demon kingdom..."
"You don't have much information about the Devil's Country. I don't know if it feels like we're losing AC rather than deliberately blocking it. Instead, my fellow merchants say... they're coming soon."
"You mean coming... you mean attacking me?
Linda nodded.
"The Great Transition will make the barn zone of the Devil's Country useless. The merchants have made many estimates of what the price of food will be."
"But it's gonna take years for it to become completely unusable."
"This year, I wonder if I'll be depressed by about 40% of the harvest. I wish I had 20% next year. Zero from next year."
"... tough."
"It's tough. Something even 40% of this year is a little short. There may be some starving deaths next year as a result of the stockpile collapse. Poor again from next year. In other words, the food situation in the Devil's Country has come without waiting."
"You knew that for a long time, didn't you? So I've been playing dragon country, technician country and business country."
I know all of them well because I teased them. [M]
"It's only natural that we'll try to figure it out while we have food. … so they say it's time to invade from October, when this year's harvest ends."
I see, after the harvest is over, is it a battle?
At that time, I will not stop until I have decided on a female male.
I don't know which country the Devil Nation will attack, but maybe that's an inevitable fate anymore.
"Is that all I can tell you?"
"Thank you, Linda. Enough. It was a lot of help."
That's great informing merchants.
"Really? I hope so."
"I'll be back in Saul's town after graduation, but what about Linda?
"The college will be closed, and I think I'll come with you. I have some luggage I'd like you to carry."
"Okay. Speaking of which, is school better?
Unlike me, Linda went to Royal School for three years.
I'm still in business without going to class, but won't I stay in the year?
"I don't know if I can handle it with a supplementary lecture and a paper. Of course I'm taking my exams properly. Someone who runs a lord at the son of a nobleman is going back to his parents' house, and I think he can graduate as long as he gets the grades right."
In addition to that, it seems that submitting Linda's commercial activities as a report has changed the class.
By the way, the exams are pretty difficult, so you think that regular Linda is putting on tutors and studying between jobs?
She is quite a talented woman.
In the meantime, Linda's misunderstandings seem to be solved, and all sorts of concerns are gone.
Good. Good. If that's what you think.
"Yeah, well, I decided to carve out the charazard wooden statue and sell it, so thank you. Give your aristocratic opponent a splendid one of 'wood-carved charazards'. We plan to make a simplified version of 'Hand Riding Shalazad' for the general public. I've been thinking about your wooden statue, too, but what do you want me to do with you?
"Stop mine, never!
What's Linda thinking?
My statue almost came out. [M]
"... zannen"
That's what Linda laughed at.
No alarm or gap at all.
