"That's the opposite. I categorically disagree, my lord general. The act of being given a surname by a nobleman should not be carried out with such ease. Because naming knights is something that should be fought through with its life on several battlefields, but in honor of those who hold together a noble spirit. It is never given to peasants who have just been conscripted into the army."
"So as a Lubitsch family, you disagree with this proposed military reform, Lord Brams?
"Of course it is. Let me tell you as many times as I can. Even if you don't do that, if you let my Lubitsch family go to war, let them work with this life. Think about it, General."
"Really? So what about the Hermes family? It's not long since I've taken over the Lord from Lord Gazer, but I'd like to hear your opinion, Lord Gary von Hermes."
"I agree with Lord Brams, General Ars. The magic of the Hermes family is special. I don't see how it would be abused if something inadvertently imparted magic against an unspecified number of things. Besides, I don't think we should use aristocratic magic like that."
"I disagree with this one, Barca's. Even if it's okay for the Burmese family to transfer the former Lubitsch territory to rule, it's not good that there are things that can spread so much magic in the Fontana Army"
"Why, Lord Elance? The fact that the Fontana army is stronger should in itself help the Burmese family."
"It could be. But there are other problems. In front of both of you, it's a little hard to say, but that means that the presence of newcomers, the Rubitches and the Hermes, is too big within the Kingdom of Fontana. If that were the case, the two families would have too much influence over the army to defend the kingdom of Fontana, and a Fontana knight like ours could be placed outside the mosquito net."
... I see.
I hadn't thought about Elance's opinion for a second.
For those who have gone from being knights to aristocrats of Fontana Spectrum bills such as Elance and Ghana, they may not like the look that suddenly comes in from the outside to make a big face.
Most importantly, it is not a matter of nobility and knight naming the soldiers of the army, but only that the power of command rests with the army.
Just because you can now use Rubitch's magic doesn't mean that soldier needs to listen to Brams.
but still not without influence.
Maybe he's worried about that area.
Hmm.
What's the matter?
The military reform proposal I told Lyon had eaten up a brilliant waste of things.
Apparently, you don't get much ambient endorsement.
"… So let's sum up what we've been talking about. Both the Lubich and Hermes families oppose the granting of magic against the soldiers of the Fontana army. And those of Fontana, including Lord Elance, are also afraid of the increased influence of both houses. Is that okay with you?
"That would be too clear, Master Ars. But apparently, that's what most people here think."
"Sounds like it, Lion. So, how about a part-time brother or Kyle? Are you against offering magic to the Fontana Army?
"Me? I don't care. I wouldn't mind using the Baltic surname if you'd leave the general in the Fontana Army, Ars."
"Well, I'm not dissatisfied now because I've always given the Reed family names to many people, Brother Ars."
"Then it's settled. The Fontana Army will be given the name of Barca Barto Reed there, with a new army of 10000 engineers, 5000 cavalry and 1000 telecommuters. However, the power of command over the soldiers of that squad shall lie with the army and not with the Barca, Baltic or Reed families. That's it."
"Wait a minute, my lord general. Then the story is different. As I said earlier, nobility gives its name to knights because they have a deep relationship of trust."
"Lord Brams. This is the Kingdom of Fontana. And thou hast become a nobleman of the kingdom of Fontana. If so, I would like you to follow Fontana's way"
"... the Fontana way, is it? Are you saying that in Fontana you sometimes give your name cheaply?
"Since Fontana was still in contention with the aristocratic realm, that's what the Urks and Arborests were fighting for, Kyle, my brother and head of the Reed family, had done so. He was selling the Reid surname to knights with territory in Fontana under the grand king Carlos. And that's still the same now. Many Reed surname people within the Kingdom of Fontana are involved in practical work and so on. I'm just saying that this time it applies to the military as well. If you say so, you can also say that you were just supposed to sell our name to the Fontana army. Don't you think it's strange that you can't do what Fontana has been doing since before she grew up, after she became a kingdom?
"But, but. That being said, there is something called the history of nobility and knighthood. Some wonder how it would be to use the magic of a historic aristocrat to make money like that."
"Then there's nothing wrong with that. The magic of Barca Barto Reed is a new magic developed by our brothers. It's not historic. If so, if it's not the magic of a historic aristocracy, you can sell it."
"Ugh... That's..."
"May I have a moment, General Ars? There's something I want to ask you."
"What is it, Lord Gary?"
"It's the number of engineers, cavalry, and telecommuters earlier. The first explanation was to give magic to the entire Fontana Army, but in the numbers I've just mentioned, it doesn't end there."
"Right. In fact, you won't necessarily have anyone to abuse the magic as Lord Gary feared earlier. To do this, at first, I thought I'd create a limited number of trustworthy teams to give them magic."
"I see. Then let me also provide my Hermes family with a name. But the magic of my Hermes family is a little special. Therefore, the commander of the scout's unit would like me to use it as well. If you do, create a team that can definitely scout anywhere."
"Are you sure? And even if Lord Gary is in command, he will ask the scouts to follow his orders as an army."
"I don't mind. The Hermes family became part of the Kingdom of Fontana. If so, there is no difference in working for the Fontana army that protects that country"
"Thank you. Okay, that's right. Let's make it about 1,000 scouts for now."
Copy that, Admiral Ars.
"So what gives the Fontana army magic is that it includes the Hermes family. Lord Elance, is that all right with you?
"Ugh, um. I was wondering if there was a limit to the number. But the magical soldier asks you to pledge your loyalty to the army."
"Yeah, I know"
"Dear Ars, can I help you? If you give Barca and Bart names to soldiers, about 15,000 people together will be able to use [road laying] and so on, right? Does that mean you can use it as an army?
"Oh, right. Lyon is right. Until now Barca has been doing farmland improvement, road laying and many other things in Fontana. I intend to leave this to the Fontana army in the future"
"Does that mean that we should in the future ask the Fontana army for development projects and so on that we have been asking Barca for for a fee? What else are you going to do with salt?
"Requests for work, and the sale of holy salt to the Church, will also henceforth be reserved for the Fontana Army alone. Shall we condemn those who can use the magic of Barca if they also use it on their own to make money? Instead, Barca will receive a fee for the number of people who gave their name to the Fontana Army"
"Are you sure? Wasn't it a business that has supported Barca's management?
"Fine. Instead, you get money, and Barca now has other income."
"Okay. The same goes for farmland improvements, etc., but if the military were to be responsible for selling the holy salt, it would also likely be able to partially cover the maintenance costs of the military. Good news."
"Okay, that's settled. Then the forthcoming reform of the Fontana army was officially recognised here. I'm adjourning this council meeting."
The Loubitches are acting weird.
Might need to follow up later.
but for now, I succeeded in increasing the number of people who could use magic.
The whole army couldn't be a job change for a wizard, but this would change the army considerably.
Besides, the system itself can be used regardless of magic.
Thus, the Fontana army turned into a new form.
As a result, new fathers and Hector brothers also became the main class where [Ice Essence Summoning] could be used.
