Survival in Another World With My Master

I'll be busy when I'm done with the body. Rather, it is no exaggeration to say that this is my real job.

You're getting used to koske.

Well, that's a number.

Repair semi-destructed buildings and walls and install water fields. There were wells in the fort, but my infinite water supply is far more user-friendly. Everyone in the fort, which was bloodstained while I was fixing things, cleaned up beautifully. With 500 men, the cleaning itself progressed quickly.

"That's where the supplies are."

Merti's face was a bluff when he was able to successfully capture food and weapons from the warehouse. For now, the Liberation Army operates almost entirely with supplies I supply, so there is hardly any personal property. However, if we recapture the Kingdom of Merinard and return to the normal economic zone, we need to carry out very normal economic activities.

I mean, I have to pay everybody.

"Did you have some money?

"Yes, some. It's almost the personal money that the soldiers in this fort had."

"The commander of the fort has enough, doesn't he? I have to pay my salary."

"That's only fair. But it's a fortress on the front line."

I don't think it's enough from Merti. Well, you do know how expensive it is to have money in one of these small fortifications. Besides, Merty's right. This is a fortress on the front line. I wonder if you keep a lot of money in a place like this.

You mean like a fire thief or a bandit? This is a war. Looting loot is our legitimate right.

We dared to raid so early in the morning that we succeeded in recapturing the fort of the Holy King's Army in a very short time, and by noon the fort had been repaired and cleaned and repaired.

"In the end, all the buildings in the walls were to be rebuilt by Koske."

"I can't help it because it's cleaner, more robust and more user-friendly."

"That's right. I think so too."

While eating lunch we all cooked, we were in a quick and relaxed mode. Me, Sylvie, Ira and Harpy.

Today's lunch menu was like the so-called "Sotong", in which dumplings made of grain flour were placed in a soup filled with plenty of dried meat, dried vegetables, dried mushrooms, etc., stored in the fort. Harpy and the others use a spoon to taste delicious. In fact, the soup is amazingly delicious, with plenty of ingredients for dried meat, dried vegetables, and dried mushroom stock.

You think it's okay to be so relaxed? It's fine. I've worked hard already. Meals are important. After dinner, Sylvie will have a meeting about future policy, and Harpy and the others will have to scout each other.

Me and Ira? I've already finished my work, and Ira worked hard enough to incinerate the body and treat the wounded while I was working in the morning. In short, there is almost nothing to do anymore. We've got enough supplies in the warehouse, and we've got baristas on the fence.

"What will Koske do after lunch?

"I guess we're almost done here. I'll recheck the fort, make a field in the open, and when it's done, I'll take my time."

"Nh, I'm going out too."

I see. Maybe I'll call a meeting, so just stay there. "

"Copy that. You're all scouting, right?

"Yes, you're scouting in pairs. Thanks to Isla's Golem transmitter, scouting will continue."

"I'm glad it helps us all."

Harpy and the others appear to be on reconnaissance as I expected. Speaking of which, how far are the other fortifications? I didn't know so I asked.

"This is the middle of the three fortifications. There must be fortifications three days' walk east and west."

"Three days, pretty far. But at that distance, the magic waves of the Golem transmitter will arrive without a problem."

"Nh, it should arrive. There are no hills or mountains to dampen the magic waves."

I see.

After the meal, it is time for a short break. Get out the big bed you brought from the front line and take a nap together. It happened early today, and I got tired of fighting and then killing.

After a short nap in an hour, Sylvie and Harpy went out to a meeting and scout, respectively. The only two left are me and Ira.

"Fuahh... do you want to go to bed a little more?

"Nh, we're all doing our best, so we'll do our best."

I see. Isla is serious. "

That's why I walked around the fort with Isla and checked for defects. The Liberation Army soldiers look bright. Naturally, we took the fort of the Holy King's Army without much danger.

"You made me bark at the Holy King's Army."

"I wish I could hurt the Holy King's Army a little more."

"It's just an explosion. I'm a little overwhelmed."

"Don't be too careless. On the contrary, if it hadn't been for that explosion, someone might have been dead."

After all, there were no dead in this battle. The opponent's resistance was sporadic. There were several people injured by an arrow stabbing, but no one died instantly because of the poor impact. All wounded have been healed by Magic Force Healing Magic.

"Let me know if you find anything unusable or problematic in the fort. I'll fix it."

The Liberation Army will accept my request in their own words. This way, getting along with all the PLA soldiers will make my job easier.

"It doesn't seem particularly problematic."

I see. Do you want to make it in the field? "

"Nh, it's important not to get hungry."

It doesn't seem to be a problem even if I look at it all the way through, so I place a farmland block in the vacant land that I decided to make farmland in advance and plow it with squid. This way I can harvest crops in about a week without seeding them. Unfortunately, it's a stinky production capability.

"Plant what?

"Nh... I like things that are easy to eat and save"

I'll make it a tarimo.

"Nh"

Taruimo is a sweet potato-like salmon made in the village of elves. If you keep it in the dark with dirt on, you can store it for a long time, and even if you wash it and simmer it with salt, you can eat it quite deliciously.

After planting Taruimo, my work is now complete. [M] The days are still high.

"You're done."

"I think Koske has worked enough. It's important to rest."

I see. That's right. "

That's what Isla said, so I went back to my assigned quarters and had a nice time with Isla. I couldn't give it to a boulder in such a situation, so it was enough to ruin it together or skinship lightly.

Aren't you going to the meeting or planning the operation? That's because it belongs to Da Nang and Silfi. However, even in the case of the PLA's maintenance and operation, which resulted in the supply of weapons and the blowing up of 5,000 people, my combat skills have become a bit difficult. It's not good to be too loud. Isn't he better off alone? It's troublesome even if it feels like it.

Of course, if you ask me for advice, I'll give you advice, but I'm an amateur of war in the first place. I can suggest strange solutions that use my abilities, but it's also dangerous to rely on only strange solutions. Sylvie and Da Nang are not going to embrace me in battle.

Nevertheless, Harpy's aerial bombardment is highly effective, so I don't think he has a choice. It's one of our greatest advantages.

"Koske, do you want to make dinner?

Um, let's go curry today.

"I love curry."

I don't want to work anymore today. The body was gloomy...

The next day.

We left a hundred Crossbow soldiers at the fort, five of our warriors' troops, and a Warg as commander, and set out for the fort to the west.

When I came here, the surrounding landscape became more like a plain than a wilderness. Even though it's not deep, you can see forests a little farther away, and there's a feeling that you've crossed the Omit Great Wilderness.

The frontier fortress of the first occupied territory now... let's call it Fort Alpha. We are heading west on the well-developed street that stretches west from Fort Alpha. Surrounded by plains, it is a truly tranquil place.

Of course, scouting is tight because it is difficult to mount a battle against the Holy King's Army on a plain like this. The main force is the Crossbow soldiers, so if the cavalry attacks you, you won't be able to catch your eye.

If I can find my enemies in advance, I'll be able to set up a dry field.

When I thought about it, there was a communication in Da Nang's communication machine. It appears to be a transmission from Harpy's reconnaissance unit scouting the direction of travel.

There is a carriage line with escorts in the direction of travel. They're on their way.

"The Holy King's Army?

Seems different. Probably a merchant. "

"Destination is the fort, right?

There's only a fort ahead, maybe.

All right, track him down before he knows it.

Copy that.

We're losing communication. Okay, what's going on?

"Are you going to attack me?

"We're not bandits. I'm not in any trouble with supplies."

"But the fact that you're heading to the fort with supplies means you're a merchant who's helping to supply the King's Army."

"Why would a merchant do that? It must be the work of a heavy army."

"I was wondering if this was the reason why Koske blew up the heavy army that was responsible for replenishing the area at the makeshift fort. It's just a prediction."

Danang, Sylvie and Merty start discussing the response. Danang votes for the attacker, Sylphie votes for the not, and I don't know what Merty thinks.

"It depends on the attitude of the merchant, but I think he's probably a leading merchant in the neighboring city, and there's nothing wrong with being close. I think it's good to talk without asking questions."

Looks like Merty voted to stay out of the way. The atmosphere of letting you do it depends on the other person's attitude.

"So you're going to let him eventually escape? Our movements will soon be passed on to the Holy King's Army."

"Think about governance after occupation. If the local merchants hate you, it could have a huge impact on governance. You're not going to kill all the saint kings in the Kingdom of Merinard?

"I wouldn't say so...."

"Danang, I agree with Merty. It's outrageous to be licked, but I don't want to be held up too much."

"If Her Highness says so."

"Merchants are brilliant at profit. If you do well, you may not be on our side... but you'll be a good business partner."

Apparently, Merti has an idea. That kind of negotiation seems good, Merty.

Well, I'll leave the negotiation to Merty.

Yes, I'll take care of it.

"Now, let me do my best to ensure I capture the train. I want Koske to help me."

"Yes, sir."

It seems that Danang is going to lay his soldiers down on the side of the road and surround them all at once. If you lay down on the plain, you'll be scattered in the grass and you won't be able to see much during the day.

I'm here with Sylvie, Merty, and a handful of elite soldiers to welcome the convoy into the streets and install brick blocks to keep them out of the way. We can stop the gizzard from rushing in. There's no stopping the carriage.

After a while, I saw dirt and smoke in the front. It seems that the train train is visible.

"I think it will stop, but be vigilant. Install the blocks as soon as you can."

"Yes, sir."

Standing next to Silfi as he arms up, he welcomes a carriage train. They seemed to have noticed us, slowly slowing down and stopping at a distance from us.

And from the carriage comes down a man who looks like a merchant, along with armed men who look like escorts.

"We are members of the Pence Chamber of Commerce from the city of Millene. You blocking the road....."

That said, the merchant noticed that Silfi was an elf and that the elite soldiers around him were subhuman rather than human. The expression becomes obviously harsh.

"My name is Sylvie. Would it be easier for the merchant to say" witch of the black forest "?

When Sylphie raised his arms, about 400 soldiers appeared lying on the side of the road. With everyone carrying weapons, the intimidation would be considerable. If I were that merchant, I'd be a little scared.

"Hih, hihhhh!? Why!? Witch Nande!?

"I'm not going to kill you. Unless you pull out your weapon and resist... what do you do?

Sylphie smiled at me with a cruel smile. Oh, then the merchants will be in trouble... and the guards will be pale. There are even people who drop their weapons early and raise their hands to surrender.

Well, there's nothing but suicide volunteers who resist because of this difference in combat power. There are five carriages and about ten escorts. In contrast, we have 400 fully armed men. It won't be a match.

"That's wise."

Sylphie nodded satisfactorily and gazed at Merti. Merti nodded and stepped forward.

"My name is Merty. I am a person entrusted with the distribution of supplies under Mr. Silfiel. We are not thieves who steal loads and work innocents. Was it the Pence Chamber? I want to make a 'deal' with your Chamber of Commerce. A fair deal."

I think Merty probably laughed. I can't see her face from my position. Yeah, that's why I have to guess. I'm sure he laughed... but somehow the merchant blew a bubble and fainted, strange dancer.

While the merchant was stunned, the carriage was pulled to the edge of the road by Liberation Army soldiers and the cargo was inspected. It's loaded with groceries, salt, and a little taste for weapons and arrows. I don't see any special supplies.

"Mr. Koske, you have jewelry and beer in stock, right?

"Oh, yes."

"Could you let me out a little? We'll make a deal as soon as he wakes up."

"Leave it to me."

Merty looked a little weird on me when I answered politely, but he decided not to mind. Merty's been in a lot of trouble because of the long and decent external negotiations. I'm sorry to hear about the fainting merchant... but let's encourage him to drink some honey today. Mm-hmm.

I swore to myself as I watched Merty boosting his motivation rather than killing an unspeakable aura.
