Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

The next morning.

Ichigo was visiting the dossier room with Liese after breakfast.

Led by Reese with a candle, he slowly progresses through the dim indoors.

"There was definitely... around here. Are you sure it's related to the import and export of supplies?

"Yeah, I hope there's some material out there that also shows how much resources are produced in the territory. And I'd like to see some materials from other countries."

When Reese nodded and handed the candle to him nicely, he took one bunch of skin paper out of the shelf.

Move to the long desk behind the room, transfer the fire to the candlestick between the walls, and then spread the skin paper.

The contents appear to be trading materials with the neighboring territory of Gregorn.

"There was a record of salt imports..."

Ichigo turns them all over, checks the contents and puts them together in the corner of the desk.

Only to sort out what you need and bring it back to your room.

"Some diplomatic intelligence material?

"I'm here. Let's wrap it up and take it to the room. I've had a lot of trouble picking it up."

The two of us split up and wander between the shelves, retrieving the materials we seem to need from one end.

After collecting it for a while, Fuji got a good look at the plate that said 'War Record Book'.

"War-related paperwork... that's an amazing amount. Is that all of this?"

So twinkly, look at the shelves lining up shifty.

There seemed to be quite a few shelves of wartime record books, and all of the shelves were packed with tons of paperwork.

Yiliang took out one bundle of records from 10 years ago with reference to the year number written on the plate on which it was affixed.

Move to the long desk, spread them out and light them with a candle.

The contents were chronological descriptions of the movements of the military in the territory before and after the beginning of the war.

"What, on May 12, 511 in Arcadia history, under the command of General Ixios Slan, along the river near the Barbell border... uh, lazy... damn, I can't read military jargon at all..."

I was able to read a lot more letters than before, but with more jargon, I was in a good shape.

As Yiliang roared, the scent of a fluffy gentle lavender tickled her nasal cavity.

Looking in that direction, Reese was peering into the material right next door.

This was also the case when we were pressed before, but Reese's face, which we see in a dim place, looked even more beautiful than usual.

To be honest, it was awkward.

"Ah, wartime material. Take it with you?

"Well, let's make sure."

When Ichiyoshi answered in the guise of calm, Reese nodded and went back to the shelf.

Drop off Reese's back and drop her eyes on the content again.

Naturally, the material is full of jargon and can only be read in insect eating letters.

I was struggling to decipher it for a little while, but I gave up on this and went back to find the material.

The two of them were checking the materials after returning to a good room.

We sat next to each other, and Reese answered a good question.

"Shall we first look at import and export related"

Yiliang spread the material and started the laptop and printer.

To scan everything you bring and save it as data with a legible name.

By the way, the other faces who aren't in the room are taking their seats off for another job.

Isaac arranged for a defensive unit in the village of Grisea. Havel oversees work in the new opening.

Narson and Zirconia, respectively, are preparing for the meeting.

From Clayratz it seems that the great men of the army will come, and from the Isterian side there will also be several other heavy towns of martial arts officers present in addition to Zirconia.

Once Ichigo retrieved the trading materials with Gregorn territory, he ran his eyes on the import records.

"Uh, salt, meat, fish dried and... you import a lot of stuff"

"Gregorn territory has good salt quality, and meat and skins are cheaper than other territories, so you buy a lot. Looks like there are a lot of animals, and the quality is good."

"Really? Does a lot of animals mean you're investing in livestock?

"Looks like there are some big ranches there, but there are quite a few wildlife compared to the rest of the territory. Salted wild kafk meat is popular. It also comes in salted fish, but I wonder if the amount that comes in from clay rats when the dried food is combined"

According to the dossier, imports of salted products appear to be quite high.

Sometimes I'm just selling salt deals.

"You're making a lot of salt. If you can sell high quality and high, you will make a lot of money and invest in production."

"Not just high quality stuff, but inferior quality salt, too. I think I often use cheap and low quality salted products because the high quality products are still high in value. Lower quality products seem to be better at mass production."

"I see, I see."

Hmm, nodding and looking at the material, set it on the printer and scan it.

Supplies purchased from Gregorn territory, such as salt, meat, fish and clothing, are high in groceries and daily necessities.

Among other things, salt has been supplied steadily for decades, and prices seem to fluctuate less.

The only major price fluctuation would be that it has been two discounts since four years ago.

There is little trade in cereals and, with the exception of the free provision associated with immigration policies, small quantities remain rare to and from each other.

The main exports from Istell territory are metals such as copper and tin, mineral resources and pigments such as marble and plaster.

"When the deal suddenly shrank even though it has been supplied steadily for a long time, the weather is so bad."

"I don't know. I don't know about the weather, but if you're ready to 'cut yourself out', it seems you can handle it, so there's nothing you can't do, right?

"Hmm... that means salt making can be done without weather. Do you even make salt indoors on a large scale?"

"I think I probably have some reserves. As soon as production stops, there's no salt shortage, so there's nothing you can do about it when things go wrong."

"I see."

When Ichigo nodded as he was convinced, Reese laughed softly.

"What's wrong?

"Something, until now, I've been taught all kinds of things, and it's weird that I'm on the teaching side today."

"It's been about three months since I've been in this country, but I hardly know anything about internal affairs... for a while, Leese's the teacher and I'm the student"

"It is. Then let me be sure to tell you."

"Yeah, tell me a lot. Gently and politely, if possible."

"When you've done well, I'll bake you another cookie. If you can't do it right, go ahead."

"Yep... I like your handmade by Eira or Marie"

"... what?

"Liar! It was delicious! Please again!!

As I looked at the material with a light slap, the contents moved to those of the milling territory and the Wang capital.

From what I have seen, imports from milling territory appear to be dominated by cereals, fruits and fish.

Production of mineral resources seems to be quite small, exported in large quantities by Istel territory.

Because rivers can be used for transport, mutual transport costs are cheaper.

There are many imports of goldsmiths, foreign goods and clothing from Wangdu.

Others seem to import slaves as well, but according to the dossier some slaves look free and purchased.

Since donations seem to be sent regularly to the royal family, is it something like that in return?

"It looks like we don't have a drug deal at all, but what's going on?

"Every territory produces very little medicine, so it's just enough for me to use it. The union of spellmakers has a monopoly on the method, and you can't increase it that much if you tell them to mass produce it."

"Really? Speaking of which, you said Mr. Isaac would make the dossier before. After that, okay?"

Subsequently, after also checking the records of transactions with Clairatz and past Balbert, the material moved to military-related.

Take the bundle of materials and turn them flat.

To read more about what I saw in the library.

"There was. I just saw some jargon. I can't read it at all. I was wondering if you could help me read it."

"Yeah, fine."

When Reese received the materials, she read them in turn from above.

"" On May 12, 511, Arcadia history, under the command of General Ixios Slan, deployed an establishment unit along the river near the Barbell border. Start building the Legion Fortress. Start building a castle in the field on a hill nearby. ""

"Is Legion Fortress the kind of military facility you've looked around in the meantime?

"The scale varies depending on the situation, but I think it's more or less the same."

"What's a field castle?

"It's about defensive positions you make in preparation for battle. Sometimes the building changes, but I guess the image of building a fence or digging a hole to interfere with the cavalry."

"Is it a pit or a pile at the bottom of a hole"

"Yes, yes. Sometimes you can put a small pile so thin that it penetrates your legs to cut down on infantry and cavalry propulsion."

"Ugh, just imagine, don't let your legs mumble"

I don't know the detailed shape, but it's probably like sticking a nail or a stick of pointy wood up the board, albeit with the iron bits used by ninjas.

"When you get bigger, you build defenses, you build defensive towers."

"What's a defense base?

"Grooves and walls to blunt the enemy's feet. They attack with stones and arrows while the enemy hits."

"Heh."

Base defense refers to earth bases and empty moats built to prevent enemy incursions.

Sometimes towers are set up in front of the base to carry out arrows and stone throwing.

Naturally, it is more effective when built on slopes.

Those made by digging or serving soil collapse when it rains, and are sometimes reinforced with stone when used over a long period of time.

On Earth it is a defensive building used since BC, and in Europe what remains as a ruin can be a tourist attraction.

When Yiliang depressed the gavel, Reese began to read more.

"On May 15, the 1st Legion advance arrived at the Legion Fortress. Engaged in construction work and securing materials'

"On May 20, the provisional establishment of the Legion Fortress and the Field Castle was completed. Work on strengthening defenses'

"On May 28, the successor to the First Regiment, commanded by General Narson Istel, arrived at the Regiment Fortress"

"On May 31, the 2nd Corps advance team commanded by General Zirconia Istel and General McGregor Slan arrived at the Corps Fortress. After replenishing supplies, both generals led selected soldiers to move to mountainous areas and start crossing mountains. Command of the remaining units is delegated to General Ixios Slan '

"Mr. Zirconia, you're certainly 16 years old when you say 10 years ago. Troops lead the way across the mountains in that year... or do you even do that even though you are a lady lord"

"Immediately after the start of the war, Mother always seemed to be at the forefront fighting for herself. I'm just not sure why we're crossing this mountain."

I don't know what month Zirconia and Narson got married 10 years ago, but what the hell is the point of letting a young girlfriend lead troops across the mountain?

Looks like another general followed him, so maybe the actual commander was him.

When I thought back to it being a name I had heard, I realized that I was an old soldier who had shown me how to train soldiers before.

"You don't have the materials or anything left?

"I don't think there's probably any left. I've heard it from McGregor, but he couldn't tell me anything, so I guess it's something I shouldn't hear."

Ichigo looked strangely at Reese, who said it without any particular emotion.

"You don't care?

"That bothers me, but when it comes to something that can't even be on the record with a story in the middle of killing each other, it's more or less unimaginable. I'm sure that's what happened."

Without worrying about the best of jamming words about what to say, Reese reads on.

"On June 14, two legions of Barbell troops approached the border. Start building a faction '

"Is that it? Sure, Mr. Barletta said, 'Barbell attacked me all of a sudden,' but didn't he eat an ambush?"

A story I had previously heard from Barletta was that Arcadia was suddenly attacked by Barbell to enter the war.

But that's not actually what happened, and Arcadia seemed to have had time to prep and set up a defensive system.

Maybe Narson foresaw the attack and just prepped for defense first.

"... what valletta?

"She's the daughter of the mayor's house who was staying in the village of Grisea."

"Hmm."

Reese returns her gaze, which she was pointing at perfectly, to the material and opens her mouth again.

"On June 16, the Barbell army will notify us of the declaration of war. Barbell Army Total Attack Started. Destroy this after noon. Direct battle and pursuit. Enemy is broken. Destroy enemy camps and collect supplies. The damage to the First Legion is extremely minor '

"On June 17, we crossed the border and began the burning of the countryside on the Balberg side. Capture hundreds of residents on the first day. Destroy two villages. Perform receipt of supplies'

"... kick your attacking enemy in the other direction and do whatever you want"

Fighting results such as a near complete victory against enemies slightly outnumbered by their own forces.

I don't know what the process was like. I don't know about this material alone, but I guess the Istail army is excellent.

Reese nodded, stripping her eyes to her surprise.

"Yeah, it looks like the opponent was licking the underestimation of the power of this country, and the battle went well right after the war. As it ended, I heard it got pretty dangerous."

"Heh," he gavels at Reese's response, continuing.

"On July 6th, there were reports that a large unit of the Barbell army left the capital. All troops, withdraw to the Legion Fortress and regroup the troops. There have been reports from diplomats that Kreilatz has also entered a state of war with Barbell."

"On July 7th, one legion came in from milling territory. The cavalry is here more than Gregorn territory."

"On July 8th, the baking unit was withdrawn. Destroy a total of seven villages. The majority of the residents appear to have fled. Capture the old man and dozens of sick people. One legion is here from Wang Du. The second legion's successor arrives. The command of all the armies will continue to be exercised by Narson Istel."

"You've got legions assembled from all over. One big showdown."

It was a big war in the early days of the war.

He also checked wartime materials for some time afterwards and looked at the diplomatic situation with other countries.

At the end of the day I handed Reese the cosmetics I had brought with my souvenir, and Reese went back with a hock-face.
