"Hey, Ars. Where are we going to attack this winter?
"Huh? What are you talking about, brother Byte? Why bother talking about fighting in the winter?"
"No, you're just saying normal things about what you're talking about. I can move my army even in the winter with you. Then the other five houses of the Northern Lordship Union will also be attacked during the winter months"
"No, no, why should I do that? I'm having a hard time placing people because of the rapid expansion of the national territory. We're gonna have to get a good grip on the land for a few more years, so we don't have to move or afford to move any more."
"You can think later about being understaffed. More than that, there are still hostile opponents left, so it's safer to crush them there. Besides, this isn't just my opinion. There are a lot of people who want to fight."
"... seriously?
"Oh, my God, seriously."
It was when I was in the city of Fontana doing my domestic work while giving this and instructions.
A part-time brother, who had led the Fontana army to rebel all over the place to exorcise bandits and maintain law and order in newly increased land, came to his face.
Along with the bandits, he also seemed to be fighting the survival of knights and aristocrats who were defiant against Fontana.
After hearing the report, I was slightly shocked by what Brother Byte said.
Could it be that many of you think I'm going to fight this next winter?
Generally speaking, it's not the first thing to move an army in the winter.
Whatever you say, it's cold, and there's food problems.
but it is true that in recent years the Fontana army had moved the army even in the winter as if to ignore such general common sense.
It is possible to minimise the cold by using the ice sperm I put out in [Ice Essence Summoning], or you can use Valkyrie for travel.
Besides, food can also be used for long-distance expeditions if it is packed in magic bags that are prepared by increasing production in [soil improvement].
For this reason, starting with the Percival family's Labyrinth Street offensive, in addition to the cuts in Lubich and Hermes territory, he also carried out an eastern expedition over Mount Big Snow.
Thinking about it, I don't even think you've been moving your army around like every winter lately.
but as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to fight without a winter break or anything.
I hope you don't take winter wars for granted or something.
'Cause when that happens, you can use [Ice Summons], and I'll be driven out to battlefield every year.
I don't like that.
I want to relax in the winter, soaking up hot springs, listening to opera princess songs with Lilina.
"What Mr. Byte says is true, Master Ars"
"Lion, you were back"
"Yeah, I also reported it using [Reading], but I thought I'd come and report it right here."
"What do you say, new Graham territory? I know it's hard being a sudden seal, but is it working?
"Yeah, I managed to manage without a problem. It was originally relatively close to Fontana. I think it's easier to summarize than the outer realm."
"Good for you. So, what do you mean, you're right about the part-time brother I was saying?
"It means as it is. As Byte said, within the kingdom of Fontana today, we are talking about which aristocracy Ars is going to target this winter."
"No, I told my Bite brother earlier, but it's time to consolidate inside for a while. There's no point in extending our territory meaninglessly."
"I do think Master Ars' idea is a realistic one. But not for the others."
"What's the difference?
"I don't know what to say, but people are basically what you think about yourself. And knights are all things that you want to gain territory by showing how they work in battle. In other words, there are many who want to fight about Master Ars and achieve merit there and have their own territory, or expand it more."
"... I see. You mean you want to fight for yourself, not for your country."
"Exactly. With Master Ars, this one can move even in the winter, and the opponent can't move. Furthermore, we all know that the walls of the walled cities no longer function as defenses in this battle. If it's a battle with an arithmetic to win, and if you can argue for a knight or a champion there, it will be an achievement, then everyone will want to go to battlefield."
"But where I led and fought the Fontana Army, it doesn't necessarily give him territory, does it?
"Right. So it seems like a general idea to join Uncle Borderline's army and join the Winter Formation. If you are a Borderline Army, you are likely to gain your own Knight's Land as a Knight now."
"Right. Do you get more of those if you win too much? That's quite a hassle."
Would you even call this a so-called main warrior or a belligerent?
Apparently, there are knights and knight aspirants in the Kingdom of Fontana who think it's the arrival of a bubble, coming out of a situation where recent wins have continued or where they have a chance to gain territory.
I don't really want to fight this one at all, but if it comes from the people whose self-interest was at stake, does it feel like I should know that?
However, it wouldn't be a very good deed to get flushed by the opinions around here and attack somewhere.
If that happens, we'll have to listen to what they have to say and keep fighting for the rest of our lives.
but war is not a reason for that.
It should only be something that has a purpose as a country and exists as one of the means of solving it.
Maybe I should think about what to do with this issue before the belligerents have a lot of opinions.
