"Here we go, soldiers, prepare to intercept."
I issued an order while looking at the impending Grugalia army from above the barrier built by [Wall Construction].
Listening to that voice, the Orient army immediately began to move.
The number of Gurgalian troops approaching was about four thousand.
There are about 3,000 Orient troops here.
The Orient was originally a country with cities and surrounding villages, and the number of mobilizations was not so great.
I don't know if I can do my best to get 5,000, but of course they are full-time craftsmen.
If they lose their lives on the battlefield, the technology they have developed will be lost.
Therefore, it seemed that it was difficult to gather enough troops to actually mobilize.
Besides, we are sometimes surrounded by other small countries.
This time, we dared to induce the Glugalia country to attack, and although we will intercept it, that does not mean that we can release our vigilance over other countries.
So, as it should have been, there were fewer troops to defend this land.
But there are about three thousand men here, and yet there are men guarding the rest of the land.
This was made possible by the presence of the Barca Mercenaries.
More to the point, I think it's because of some of the mercenaries in the Barca Mercenaries who come from variants.
Many people have moved to this area from a remote variant of the foot of the mausoleum, which is a completely different area from the small country group, and are standing on this battlefield.
Some of the guys that came here with me, some of the variants that I called in last year after I let the assassins go.
In other words, many of the newcomers are here now.
Originally, some of the people who came with me were married to former high-end whore women in New Barca, and they also left the task of making magic equipment to me.
I made an Orient Magic Union, but they didn't come here much this time, because it's still a magic tool made exclusively in New Barca City.
Just like the artisanal Orient, the new city of Barca has become a more efficient place to separate engineers and fighters.
That's why more than half of the Orient forces that have come here to defend the Orient nation from the Glugalia forces are of variant origin.
Shit, I think the mercenary regiment is pretty much the main force.
Well, some migrants don't speak the language of small countries well.
From the perspective of the Orient people, it may not be immediately clear that this Orient army is an army of our own.
But that was one of the reasons I became Secretary of Defense.
Because I was already able to mobilize about 2,000 to 3,000 mercenaries as an individual.
It would be advantageous to the Orient people if I became Secretary of Defense and used someone other than my own to protect my country.
That's why we've given them strong authority.
Moreover, people from the variant were gradually being evaluated.
Normally, people from other lands would hate to come to their own country.
It's simply not interesting and I don't know what to do.
We don't know the exact statistics, but most migrants don't have the money, and then they end up dyeing their hands on crime.
That's why the more these people are, the more voices you worry about getting insecure.
However, since the humans of the variant actually emigrated, the story that this happened has not been heard.
A long time ago, I banished sinners to a place reminiscent of the death of the mausoleum.
Survival at that time settled at the foot of the mausoleum.
So I wondered how bad the variant people were who came from such a place, but when I opened the lid, I didn't have any problems.
Well, even though I came to the Orient, I started living there by creating a new city on the land of the abandoned village that was no longer inhabitable due to salt damage.
The people who live in the city state are completely separated from the people who live in the city state, and they do not cause major problems in the new city.
This also had the power of the new church.
A mysterious ceremony takes place, in which the law is vowed to be observed.
Those who swear the oath will have heartache if they break the law, and they will soon see false statements in the trial.
As a result, little by little, even the birth of a variant was being accepted from the Orient country.
But even so, there is still something of discrimination.
I don't think we'll be able to see as much of the people who were born and raised in a harsh environment, separated from civilization.
But if we fight together to protect our country, we may change our minds.
It can be seen that migrants are willing to do their best to be hosted more by the Orient countryside, which is a city of the countryside.
It looks good.
Those who emigrated last year are grateful for their high fighting spirit, even though they have no actual combat experience.
Even if we look at the number of Glugalia's armies, I wonder if it's a good material that hasn't weakened.
The Orient forces are now preparing to intercept the approaching Glugalia.
The attack was launched by both armies.
