Survival in Another World With My Master

Chapter 040: Policy Decisions

The next day, after harvesting the fields, we once again crossed the wilderness to the Black Forest and returned to the Elves without any trouble.

Hello, Princess. You're safe.

"Yeah, we're back."

Silfi nodded back to Da Nang, who welcomed me. The waist was equipped with a revolver housed in a leather holster. This is a revolver dedicated to silfi that was made this morning. Since I taught you how to use a pistol yesterday, it won't be a problem.

By the way, the 45 caliber automatic pistol bullets were difficult to prevent, but Sir Leonard said the revolver bullets using the 357 magnum bullets were difficult to deal with when fired. That's almost twice as fast as the first gun mouth. It will be more powerful accordingly.

"How'd it go?

"I can't go into details yet, but I'm fine."

"So now we won't be called toilet birds either!?

"Maybe. Well, there's going to be another problem."

Pilna was quickly surrounded by her colleagues, Harpy and others. It is not surprising that they were eager for a new weapon for Harpy. Until now, their mission on the battlefield was basically reconnaissance from the sky and 'bombing'.

Of course, there was no gunpowder, so even if it was a bombing, the aim was to reduce the morale of the enemy by dropping fine, large stones, boiling water, and hot oil. A smart person will notice, but there is something more effective to use in that sense.

Yes, unk. To be precise, this is the one that came out of the toilet. They flew through the stench many times and kept flipping the bucket over the enemy soldiers. Thus, the nickname given to the enemy soldiers (mainly the soldiers of the Holy King) was "Toilet Bird."

Originally, Harpy likes them very pretty. Daily bathing is essential, as is the care of feathers. Sometimes there are many women of different races, and I like fashion and care about my taste.

Toilet bird shouting was an unbearable curse for them. Also, I can't help it, but I just don't like to go into battle again and carry unks. No one wants to get near the smelly, dirty stuff, not just the girls.

"Good... good!

"You don't have to carry smelly stuff anymore!

"It's coming to my mind... and I can't smell it for a while"

They were glad to cry. Well, the next thing I'm going to drop is an aerial bomb... which certainly doesn't smell like it, but it's more likely to be resented by enemy soldiers. I'm sure that's another problem Pilna was talking about. If I were an enemy soldier, I'd call me a fucking bird, a fucking harpy, a toilet bird.

If they get caught, they'll be treated like snipers... and their operations will be safe first.

Now, with that in mind, we are announcing the completion of the construction of the first base and consulting on a change of policy. The main people were gathered in the usual space.

That is, Sylvie, me, Danang, Merti, Isla, Cubi, Sir Leonard, Miss Zamir, and Schmel. Many others have come to see how this meeting is going. It's a meeting where we can decide where we're going. The listener doesn't have a say, but he can't be blamed if he just listens. Well, that's the only way we can do it because of the number and the situation.

"Well, first of all, regarding the construction of the first base, but this is over without a problem. Surrounded by a solid wall 7 m high and 3 m thick, it also has a dormitory that can accommodate over 300 people. With regard to water, multiple wells were drilled and water quality surveys were completed. It was water that I could drink without any problems."

The listeners hear a pleasant groan.

"It has also been found that cultivation can also be carried out through the work of Koske. As you all know, Koske's power is special. It looks like it's going to grow in a slightly different direction from normal soil but in some cases it's possible to be self-sufficient in terms of food at a fairly early stage."

Now there was a confusing sigh. Well, I guess so. There's no way you can suddenly become self-sufficient in a wilderness field. Exploring the wilderness is a very laborious task.

The rocks and stones must be carefully removed and the thirsty, lean soil must be improved over several years or, worse, more than a decade. Is it true that you might be able to be self-sufficient at an early stage? I think so.

"To be honest, there are parts of Koske that don't know the bottom line. There are many things to verify. Therefore, I would first like to send about 50 people to the first base to conduct the operation test of the farmland made by Koske. At the same time, we plan to start building a second base."

"I see... how many bases will we eventually build?

"Well, I'm still thinking about it... as you know, the first base will eventually be handed over to the Black Forest Elves. Therefore, what can truly be called our base will be after the second base. Is this good?

Everyone nods at Silfi's words that answered Danang's question.

"We will definitely need three hubs to interact with the Elves, this hub that serves as the hub for our activities, and the hub that serves as a front line defense. There will also be a need for multiple bases to serve as shelters when traveling between each base. As originally planned, we will leave the base in the morning so that the moving personnel can spend the night safely, and build those small bases at a distance that we can reach before the sun sets. So, the location of the front line hub....."

Sylvie looked around everyone's face and then opened his mouth again.

"Make it a five-day walk from the realm of Merinard. Omit, it's in the middle of the wilderness."

The greatest groan has ever occurred. Given the policy of recapturing the kingdom of Merinard, the shorter the march for an attack, the less fatigue the soldier will have. Five days on foot makes you more tired and more likely to be attacked by gizmas.

"Excuse me, but what are your thoughts on the location?

"Hmm... a change of policy. First of all, we don't have many."

That's right.

"With the weapons Koske makes, we can win the battle. Probably. But we don't have enough heads to maintain the territory after winning the battle. Isn't it?

Danang meditated on Silfi's question. That would mean yes.

"I was going to talk to Leonard and Zamir a lot and try to change the policy. But, of course, that's not about despising Danang and the others. So we're going to talk about it until we're convinced."

"The more... five days from the realm of the kingdom of Merinard means that you are aware of the presence of the King's Army in the kingdom of Merinard and the invasion from the Holy King's Land."

"That's right. I intend to use the Omit Great Wilderness itself as a natural resource. At the same time, we will free King Merinard's people from local villages and towns by invading Merinard Realm territory from the great wilderness of Omit."

"Are you bringing a wearing citizen into the wilderness of Omit...."

Danang distorts his face. Perhaps he remembered the desperate march across the Omit wilderness to the Black Forest.

"I've been thinking about that. We plan to create a safe and discreet refuge underground by Koske's hand. Store water and food, and make sure you get through the night safely."

"I see, so gradually we gather the people from the realm of the Kingdom of Merinard and accumulate power."

"Hmm. At the same time, I want to make contact with my fellow countrymen who are hiding in the Kingdom of Merinard."

"Speaking of compatriots... it's human, right? Are you trying to spread the word? It leaks to the Holy King."

"What do you want? It's a front line base for that."

When the Holy King's Army attacked us based on the information, we'll just have to face it. Well, I would definitely apologize for attacking the fort after five days of marching on the gizma's sprawling Omit wilderness.

"... I understand the policy. This means that Her Highness will change her policy in the direction of accumulating power in the great wilderness of Omit and then reclaiming the kingdom of Merinard."

I see. It will be a long story. But we cannot fail. If you hurry, you'll have to turn around. "

"Sincerely,"

Danang seemed convinced of Silfi's policy shift for the time being. Merty then raises her hand and speaks.

"Princess, I'd like to talk a little more about the part of cultivation that Mr. Koske works for."

"Hmm, that's right. Let Koske speak directly about the story. Koske"

"Huh? Me? Seriously?"

Mr. Sylvie, did you push me against Merty? Ah, I missed my eyes. This has been pressed.

"Ah, for now, I want you to see this."

I put a bowl of wheat next to the table. Six of them. Since it weighs about 60 kg per person, it is 360 kg of wheat.

"What is this?

"It's a barrel of wheat, 32m by 32m in size, which means it was harvested from about a dozen yards of land."

"... did you harvest it? You've been there for less than a week...?

"Ah, yeah. Well... it didn't take me three days to harvest it, did it?

"Are you serious about that?

I'm afraid of Merti's eyes.

"That's what I did with all the dirt I prepared, from raising the fields to sowing and watering! I'm not bad! I don't know what happens when someone else does. That's why Sylvie said he needed to verify."

"I see... this harvest from the opposite field is incredible... May I see the contents?

"Go ahead."

Merty lifts up the lid and struggles to untie the rope, then takes the lid-like part on the side of the lid and opens it. Hee, that's how it's structured.

"The grains are huge and shaped... aren't they the finest?"

Hee, that's right.

Because I don't know that.

I mean, this is the first time I've seen a pigeon alive. For me, rice is sold in plastic bags at the supermarket, and wheat is already powdered and lined up on the shelves.

I've seen unpolished wheat with my own eyes since I came to this world. I've seen it on TV. Well, I've seen barley for barley. I've been having a rough time.

"This much doesn't take three days, just from the opposite field...?

Merty is holding the wheat and trembling with a trap. I'm terrified. And then Isla's eyes are dead again. What's wrong with you?

"Anyway, is that how it is? It's all about who farms my fields, what happens to the land I just farm without using the soil I make, how many times I can harvest it, what happens when people other than me dump my soil into ordinary fields, and so on."

"That needs to be verified. If you can harvest this much in three days, and that's all you can do with Koske's hands... fufu"

I'm scared of Merti's eyes! I'm scared! Depending on the outcome, I'll be cultivating fields all day long! I'm a craftsman and a survivor! I'm not an agricultural worker!

"Haha, by the way, what happened to Isla?

"... one of the secret drugs of alchemy is a cultivator."

Huh?

"The effects depend on the quality... the farmland in Caucasus is like using the finest cultivators like hot water."

"Hahaha, don't worry too much about this because it's like an inch."

"... yeah"

You managed to hold it back. I'd like to talk to Isla about something.

And I want it to be a jetty against Merti. Actually.

"I know about the fields. We certainly need 50 people to verify this."

"Yeah, I'm glad you understand. Uh, Sylvie? Anything else?

"Nh, that's right. Do you have any other questions?

Now Schmel raised his hand to Sylvie's words.

"So you're telling me to stop beating up the Holy Kingdoms?

"Well, we don't bump into each other from the front. But I'm not doing anything. We have the task of infiltrating the Kingdom of Merinard in small numbers and liberating the villages. This will be a very dangerous mission."

"I see. Well, I don't know what's difficult. Whatever you want the Holy Kingdoms to do. The will to fight has not changed. However, in order to deal with each other properly, we first need to increase our allies and build up our strength. Is that good enough for you?

"Oh, that's definitely what I think."

"Yeah, then I'm not dissatisfied."

Schmel seems to be in a trance, but there's something like a strong vengeance hidden in his heart. King Merinard's people here may have grown bigger and smaller.

"Anything else? Now, let's decide the policy. We will open new horizons in the great wilderness of Omit and free the people of the kingdom of Merinard who are still under the control of the Holy King. And build up enough strength to regain the kingdom of Merinard. It will be a long way, but let's work together to overcome the hardships."

Everyone at the table nodded to Silfi's words and the audience said, "Whoa! The cheers rose.

A bridgehead was secured in the Omit Great Wilderness and the policy was decided.

How much wilderness can we explore and how much can we feed into the realm of the Kingdom of Merinard before the Holy King understands our movements? Fighting time from here on out.
