Sweet Reincarnation

Morteln Territory Thersteden.

Rumi and Marc, who had returned to their familiar hometown for the first time in a long time, ate a magical candy and felt the sweetness of the mouth, while turning to the lord's hall.

Huh? Rumi and Marc?

At present, it was the Mortelun family who tightened the security for Dalong. I quickly found a familiar pair of patrol sergeants.

"Brother Lamito, it's been a long time."

Rumi raised her hand lightly and greeted her lovingly. It was Ramito who was on patrol. Although he was a young servant of the Mortelun family, he was the real brother of Lumi, who would be placed at first sight as a future cadre candidate.

What's the matter with you guys?

The earliest insanity is an abnormal mortel in everyday life.

I wouldn't be surprised if I thought unnaturally that there were two people who couldn't be here.

I don't know if Lord Pais has done anything about it, but it's in the area of giving up.

Sadly, the fact that Lamito hasn't lost his imagination.

"Hey, I'm back on Pais business." You should talk to him or Casserole-sama. It's sudden. Or if you tell me where it is, I'll do it on my own. ”

Before the education at the school, he entered the museum on his own without having to say no, and stormed around the office.

Even though there is still a lack of education, we have only made progress in properly checking in and out of the room in advance.

Lamito tells both of them in amazement at her sister's growth.

Okay, you're both in the temporary quarters of the 2nd Battalion.

Temporary dormitory?

"I rented out the square and garrisoned it." Go to the square. "

Square, ma'am...

The Second Battalion is currently stationed in the territory of Morteln.

It also means that Pais who ordered the Great Dragon was absent, and avoided the Mortelle being emptied, but the significance of the presence of Casserole in the Mortelle is great.

However, since military service as a function is a priority, I will not go to the office to work as I did when I was in the lordship business.

But we must give priority to our position as captain.

Therefore, in order to add public and private kejime, we rent out the first-class square in Zarsden and use it as a base for the second battalion.

When Marc and Lumi walked along the road so accustomed that they could walk even as they woke up, they reached the square, where they found a tent village.

There were two thousand and two hundred men in the garrison.

There are many national armies stationed on the border of the region, and the number of people who actually fight is small.

Many powerful knights are included, and the brutality of the actual strength is daunting.

"Stop there, you two!!"

Is it immediately or is it a boulder?

Rumi and Mark were being held as they tried to get closer to the garrison.

As for the two of them, they are not so much familiar with the city as they are tired of seeing it, and they are familiar with the Thessaloniki, but they are unfamiliar with the people of the 2nd Battalion. It was only natural to be suspicious.

"I am the servant of the Mortelun family, Luminito = Idrihappa."

"Likewise, it is Marcarlo-Doroba. I sent a hasty message to Viscount Mortelun."

Marc and Rumi bow to the salute that was slammed into the school.

It is strange because it looks like a military man at one end.

Obviously, a message runs while keeping vigilant to the movement of the human being being being trained.

The order to bring them from the 2nd Battalion Captain Mortelleun led the group to the battalion captain's tent.

My lord, I'm taking you with me.

There were two great men in the tent who knew each other well.

"Good work. Stand back and stay on guard."

Haha

And the young man that brought them, saluting Casserole, left the place.

All that's left is the two people who were brought.

And Viscount Morteln, the deputy commander of the 2nd Battalion. Besides, there were resupply officers from the 2nd Battalion and a few people behind them.

Soldiers fought in the first battle.

What's the matter, both of you?

Casserole asks.

That's the two I've known since I was born. It can be seen in the atmosphere that it is nothing but an unexpected situation.

I received a message and a letter from Master Pastry as soon as possible.

From Pais?

From your son, I don't know which one is required.

The lieutenant said that he did not know whether the message from Pais was to the "Lord of the Mortelle" or to the "2nd Battalion Captain of the National Army".

Usually, Pais is the lord's substitute. When you contact your father, it is often a matter of first contacting the owner of the Morteln family.

By contrast, Pace is now the first Lieutenant Extraordinary Assistant. If you hear from us, it could be the National Army.

Why did the vice president care about such a position? Because there is a confidential relationship.

If we're talking about the inner circle of House Morteln, we'd better get out of our seats, or if we're related to the National Army, we'd better ask ourselves.

Wait for Casserole's instructions in the sense that she is lost in what to do.

"Did Pais say anything?"

Marc nodded on behalf of Casserole.

“Leave a message, and when the time comes, we'll take care of everything.”

"... hmm, then you're talking about the National Army?" You kept the letter, too. "

Yes, this is it.

Pais' letter, once received by his men, was given to Casserole.

Cassell glanced inside, his face dazzled.

"I see, there was a disturbing movement in the Voltuzara Kingdom, and I was prepared immediately..."

The content of the letter is extremely short.

Briefly, it contains the results of intelligence gathering and scrutiny in the Kingdom of Voltuzara.

If we were to summarize it, there would be no wonder that there would always be a fight, so we wanted to be prepared.

Will you attack me?

Casserole nodded at the words of her subordinates.

"There doesn't seem to be anything specific, but it seems that the disturbing signs are getting darker. Marc, Lumi"

Yes.

"How did you guys feel?"

“There was no immediate sense of crisis, but I felt an atmosphere of vigilance towards us.”

"... um"

It is better to have more information.

Casserole listens to a lot of things from Rumi and Marc.

In addition, Casserole had a strong weapon called the National Army's information network.

"Certainly, the market is doing exactly what Captain Morteln's son says, and the information is up. It was a mixture of foolishness and complaints from the military station command department."

It's more sensitive over there because it's making a snag out of a budget roll.

In the words of his subordinates, Casserole becomes even more convinced.

"But will you actually attack me?" It's hard to attack the territory of Morteln, isn't it? "

said the First Officer.

Certainly, if they had just come in here easily, the Morteln territory would have been ravaged by foreign countries earlier.

Surrounded by mountains, there is no way to invade. This is the land where the Mortelleun family, which is originally poor in human resources, has fortified their defenses.

These days, the city is surrounded by rugged passageways, and the moat is also circled, making it difficult to strike. Rather, the casseroles have struggled to do so.

“Our mission is to pre-empt domestic anxieties until His Royal Highness's sunny stage is over. To stabilize the rear and assist the Prince in his mission. I think we should consider the seeds of contention, including the Great Dragon."

If so, would you like to place more soldiers in key locations and increase patrols?

"I see. Let's do what we can." It's better to waste it than to regret it later. "

It's because the elite is the elite that decides to move quickly.

The 2nd Battalion, which is provided by Casserole with a map of the territory of Mortelleun, quickly begins to rethink its defense plans.

Can I have a word with you both?

In such a rushing environment, Rumi and Marc called out to Casserole, who wondered if they should return.

Sneakily on the edge of the tent, it was like a private conversation.

"In the letter, there was a detailed mention of money orders. But I am alienated from things around gold. What is Pais so concerned about?”

Apart from the military threat, the letter also expressed concern about the economic threat.

But, to be honest, Casserole is not good at accounting for gold.

Originally born and raised in a poor environment, the lord's life was long a life of tolerance, and moreover, almost all of the policies that have enriched the territory are the result of the dedication of Pais and others.

In the military, there was education from my parents' home, and I have studied actively, and I have a lot of knowledge just because I have experienced it in the actual battle.

However, there is a sense of being tone-deaf about economics. In the meantime, the Mortelun family has grown rich in recent times. There is a lack of knowledge and experience in casserole that can only move large sums of money.

"Pais says... there might be humans out there trying to use gold to rough up Morteln."

At some point, Marc's fearful attitude was peeling and becoming cluttered.

Marc was more capable of understanding Pais' intentions and chewing than Rumi.

With the money, right?

"Whether it's supplies, weapons, or necessities... anyway, there's a way to embarrass the enemy by buying something up." If a soldier can't push with his strength, he might come with his hand, right?

Pais didn't feel suspicious when he saw nothing but the price.

He had been thinking about defense for a long time.

Even if they attacked me by force, the Mortelun territory had a ground to bounce back. Although Casserole is a part of it, there are many friendly houses that can mobilize the national army and expect reinforcements politically.

That is why it is easy to predict that if pressure were to be brought to bear on the Morteluns, it would be more economic or diplomatic than military pressure.

It is natural for Pace to know that economic and logistical blockades are educated by modern people. If you are a modern Japanese, you will learn from the history that developed from the economic blockade into the war at school.

However, the Mortelun territory is basically self-sufficient. Moreover, it was the magic of casserole, and it was difficult to get in trouble by blocking the essentials. You will be trying to impoverish them indirectly, rather than directly by hoarding strategic supplies.

In other words, the assailant is squeezed into the economy.

If you know the direction and means to attack, you can sense even a slight movement. In fact, Pais noticed.

"Hmm, I see, that's what it is."

Rumi took over Marc's explanation.

Rumi is better at understanding the interpretation of chewing and explaining it to others.

The academic performer did not date, but conveyed Pais' concerns to Casserole in a truly understandable manner.

"All right, Pais is particularly concerned." We will respond as soon as possible. ”

Can you do that?

"I don't know how to do it, but it's okay, right?"

If you use armies to kill each other, it's war, but it's also war to crush each other for weak spots.

Even with Casserole, who was familiar with ambushes and peculiarities, I remembered that Pais' concerns were gradually being contoured.

The territory of Mortelun is a wealthy territory with a surplus of gold. The influence of the Mortelun family is also supported by economic power. Then it's only natural that we want to destroy it.

It is the usual practice to aim for supplies. Casserole understood the crisis deeply.

And above all, my son is reliable.

How far ahead are you reading it?

”Now, let's get the two of you into the realm of Ratesh... no, let's go to the realm of Bombino”

Bombino territory?

"One is to secure ahead of the sea." And the other thing is... it's a trick. "

Do you have an idea?

What are the measures of the economically stunned lords?

Casserole smiled bitterly at Marc and Rumi's strange faces.

I have to tell you that what I'm trying to do is not my idea, and Caserol made both of them fly the paper.

"... he's got something like this ready for you."

A few pieces of paper enclosed in the letter.

It was marked with a title.

"Knowledge of Economic Warfare"
