Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 251 - Tactical Advisor Koske

Now, the season is a time of overall decline in activity in winter, but I wasn't pushed down by everybody from morning to evening by myself... there were days like that, but it wasn't just those days. I don't have it. It's true.

"Border security is an urgent issue."

Sir Leonard says so with his arms tied in front of a map spread out on the table. Lord Leonard is strangely hyena-like these days. Rumor has it that several widows have pushed Sir Leonard, the man's wife, to take care of his private life... and finally the time has come for Sir Leonard to pay his annual pension.

"Maintaining domestic security is just as pressing a challenge as border security. Neither is, but both is."

Recently, Danang, whose taste has been strangely polished and masculinity has increased, said so with a voice that seems serious. Like Sir Leonard, he has heard that the lady who had been counting on him for a long time has finally caught him.

Well, the situation has calmed down by reclaiming the kingdom of Merinard. Perhaps he had refused until now to say, "Until we regain the kingdom of Merinard," but since we have regained the kingdom of Merinard, there is no excuse to refuse the invitation of the ladies who approached us.

Nanwu San.

Well, I don't care what happens to the men who are being held captive. It's a trivial thing that they've been consulting a lot lately and turning their attention to respect. Oh, it's a trivial matter. So stop talking about Master and Master. I told you not to!

"The problem is, we don't have enough men to guard the border or maintain security."

"That's right. Borders are long and wide. It's not easy to get our eyes across without being too scarce."

I see. Then all you need is..... "

"More people?

"That's a good idea, but I think I'd better put in place a system that can cover a wide area with fewer people."

"If I could do that, I wouldn't go any further... do you have any ideas?

"Of course there is."

As I nodded, I took out the compass. It's a compass that draws a circle, not a compass. I'll use the compass to draw some circles. First, we draw a circle around the fort on the border with the Holy King, and fill the border with a circle by drawing a new circle within its radius.

"What is this circle?

"The Golem comms are in range. It's about a hundred kilometers radius. I'm drawing a circle with a radius that ensures communication."

The initial Golem transmitter was a four-day walk away - that is, 120 km away. Now that the performance has further improved and the communication distance has increased, even considering some obstacles, it should be in the communication zone within a radius of 100 km.

Once the border line is filled with yen, we will now increase the yen to cover the main bases in the Kingdom of Merinard, in addition to the larger yen within the national territory. Ultimately, communications networks were drawn on the map, from the border to Merynesburg, from Merynesburg to Arrihiburg, and from Arrihiburg to the rear base of the Omit Great Wilderness.

"The smaller circle is the communication range of a portable Golem transmitter, the medium circle or the larger circle is the communication range of an installation relay base station or a stationary large Golem transmitter."

The communication range of a stationary large Golem communication machine is approximately five times that of a normal type. It can cover a wide area of up to 600 km in radius. Of course, this is also a distance to secure a certain margin by improving the transmission and reception antenna.

With regard to relay base stations, it was eventually decided to adopt small ones that were less conspicuous. The function was limited to simply relaying communications from remote locations, and emphasis was placed on miniaturization and material reduction. Still, it is able to cover almost three times the communication range of a normal Golem communication machine.

"And this guy...."

Now set white ink on the compass and draw a large circle around a certain point.

"What is this white circle?

"It's within five hours of the technical airboard. It's about eight days on foot. Whether it's raining and the roads are muddy or snowy, it's for sale that the speed of the rapid change doesn't change."

"I knew the speed of the technical airboard, but looking at it again, it's an incredible range of action...."

Danang looks at the size of the white circle and roars. Eight days' walk is a wide radius of about 240 km. This is the range when the technical airboard is driven at a cruise speed of 50 km/h. The range of this white circle is larger because it can actually run faster. It won't hit the boulder at the maximum speed of 200 km/h, but it will be able to reach about 80 km/h. That way, you can reach it in about three hours within this white circle.

"Using Golem communicators to build an early warning network, we hit the enemies we discovered with a technical airboard with armed response units. If you have the right number of personnel carriers, you can use crossbowmen and magic gunmen instead of technical airboards armed with light machine guns. It would be better to proceed with the formation of a military unit to hunt down a small number of infiltrating enemy units. That's his name... hunter?

It's going to be a little different from the hunters on Earth, but... considering the mission, isn't it?

Are you a hunter? Hmm, that's not a bad name. "

"The mission is to find and hunt enemies who have passed through the net... I see."

"The circle I drew is a bit rough, so please fill in the details with the military. You understand the system itself, don't you? Golem communicators, light machine guns, airboards, magic guns.

"That's right. We also need to talk to the R&D department about confidentiality measures. But this way, we'll drastically reduce the number of people we need to guard the border."

"Ah, using this mechanism will also help maintain security in the country. We can still exchange information in an instant and send in fast and cohesive forces. Tactics and tactics change dramatically."

Well, I guess so.

We are fighting with spears and bows, swords and shields, bringing radio communication equipment and personnel carriers, machine guns and rifles, proximity air support, and so on. That will cover our strategy and tactics.

In today's world, mass warfare with dense formations is the height of the season. The concept of modern manoeuvre has been brought there to ravage it, so it will be unbearable as a holy kingdom. Until now, common sense doesn't work. I'm sure your army will be holding their heads by now, listening to the remnants who have returned.

"With all this power, we could attack the Holy King."

"You're going in?

"No way. It is foolish to do such a thing with the hatred of the Holy King."

That said, Sir Leonard raised his shoulders, but what did he really think? I looked at Danang, but he shook his neck silently.

"All we have to do now is protect the Kingdom of Merinard and its people. I will not destroy my enemies with hatred."

"... well, that's not really how I can say it."

I can't tell you not to use my power for revenge. You shouldn't have given modern weapons to worry about that from the beginning. It is better to be a good boy than to help them once.

So now we're talking about Magic Stone Bombs making weapons of mass destruction. With that, we could kill tens of thousands of troops in less than an hour.

"I think it's best to ask Koske about tactics that use new weapons."

That's right. It is difficult for us to come up with such sophisticated tactics and strategies. Can't you think of any new weapons or equipment?

"Even if they say new weapons and equipment... that's what Sir Leonard likes, isn't it?

"Of course it is. Koske's weapon is powerful, but it doesn't suit my taste."

"I don't know if that's what they say...."

Sir Leonard's preference is a white soldier's battle to shake the stage, right? That kind of thing was outdated in my time, or rarely used as a tactic... as bad as they are for tea all year round, bayonet attacks.

"Uhhhhhh... ahh"

I saw a white circle on the map and came up with something. It is a personal booster using an airboard barrel propulsion system. It's an imaginary cartoon maneuver that fights giants. Thighs, hips, and backs will need to be examined during the development process.

"Did you come up with something?

Da Nang also asks me how he looked when he was a little angry. Well, I figured it out.

"It's effective to pack up dozens of meters at once and start a white war, or jump over the enemy's vanguard, penetrate defenseless archers and throwers, and break out after a riot, right?

"If you can do that, of course it works, but if you can't help but stick it in, the arrow rain and spear are full of holes."

"I think we'll have to tactically solve it, or we'll have to manoeuvre the arrows and dive in... but I wonder if we can develop the wind magic boundary in a short time."

After all, we should only be able to prevent arrows for the first few dozen seconds of plunging into the enemy line, so how about that? Recently, I have become quite involved in the development of magic tools, so I can somehow understand how much power I can draw from a single magic stone.

"You have an airboard propulsion system, the cylindrical one. I wonder if it's a manoeuvring device that can be equipped by individuals to fly short distances at high speeds and penetrate enemies?

"... if you take one wrong step, you'll be sacrificed quickly with a spear, or you'll be beaten."

"It might be effective if you can use it..."

"I think there's room for reflection because the mobility of the infantry will increase dramatically. Don't use it in a rally, scolding or something. Isn't it convenient to equip the hunters I just told you about? Training will be necessary, but I think ants are the equipment to move each person at super high speeds."

It will probably be considerably smaller in size, so if we use standard size magic crystals, we can keep it magically costly for a few days even if it runs at full capacity. Even the replacement Magic Stone is not that bulky.

"Hmm... there's certainly room for reflection if you say so. I think it's okay to ask the R&D department for development."

I see. It seems expensive to equip the entire army, but it might be useful to equip it for some elite troops. "

Thus, it was decided to develop a personal high-speed mobile device. Subjects will continue to suffer injuries until it becomes practical… flying at high speeds and colliding with something, or failing to land and rolling the ground with tremendous momentum. I don't know who's going to take the role, but I hope you're safe now./(adv, vs) (on-mim) nagging/nagging/nagging/
