The Branded Female Fencer
Small ripples, part 10 - Future ideas ① -
Alphilis was silently working in front of the mountains and loaded paperwork. It is a sincere endeavor, as creepy as the ecra we work with is. Already staying up late. He cared about Alphilis, who worked without showing how tired he was in it, and worked for Alphilis while Ekla served tea.
"Alfi, shouldn't it be time to rest? Or at least take a break."
"Yeah, and if I make an application for the construction of a new building and an opinion on the addition and renovation of the training ground and the old building,"
"Is it another build-up? I think we have enough mercenaries to live in now."
"So far. But if we get more people as we are now, we won't be enough after six months. I'm just about ready to get ahead of you now."
I replied to Ekla as Alphilis smiled and received the tea. I don't see the color of fatigue in that look. He also seemed to work as more of a delight.
"You still think there 'll be more people like this?
"It'll increase, won't it? I asked Lisa and Guild to explore the current situation of mercenary regiments in the neighborhood, mostly those operating in the east, but it seems that every small group of mercenaries has a hard time operating because of the low number of wars. Our great success in this battle has already been communicated within the Alliance. I've rooted for that to happen, but our mercenary regiment has been upgraded all at once. There are no 10 mercenary regiments on the continent that are now above our size in terms of quality and quantity.
In that case, it will be possible to attract a small group of mercenaries who will have difficulty gaining momentum and increasing their size. They'll want it, too. "
"But even with all the numbers, there's no choice in a collection of UAE."
"Proper material. As a mercenary, there is nothing to fight for. I am aiming for a mercenary regiment to undertake anything from simple person searches to personnel good offices at construction sites and reading and writing letters to people who cannot attend school. We need a variety of people to do that, and we have a lot of headcount to start with. Besides, competition will also be the bottom line for the whole thing. In the meantime, my immediate goal is 5,000 members."
"5,000!"
It was an ecra that could not hide its surprise in the goals set by Alphilis, but Alphilis surprises Ekla even more.
"It's no big deal. The Karatzel Cavalry is a mercenary regiment from a total of 2,000 men, as well as a 5,000-strong mercenary regiment of castle attackers. Friedelinde is said to be close to tens of thousands, including backward support humans. There must have been 3,000 Muller steel soldiers, just in terms of actual mobilisation. Even if there were 5,000, there would have been roughly 1,500 actual troops."
"Still, if you're bad, you'll be about the size of an army that protects the border. If mercenaries possess so much power, wouldn't they be wary?
"Given the scale of the request, there won't be anything like driving out all the personnel first. That's unless there's even a war involving the whole continent.
Besides, my goal is that my mercenary regiment will eventually exceed 30,000. Just the land now given, that much capacity. If I'm going to go beyond that while I'm alive, we need to get new land. "
"Saman -"
Ekla was letting her mouth pound at the impenetrable numbers. If what Alphilis says comes true, an unprecedented large mercenary corps will be born on the continent. From small requests to wars. Ekra thinks it might be the creation of a single nation.
And now Alphilis said, "While I'm alive". In other words, you may consider her concept to extend into the coming decades. A mercenary regiment that continues to move under a certain will, even after her death. It is customary for mercenary regiments to be disbanded if the commander dies or dies, but what Alphilis is aiming for was a mercenary regiment that has never existed in the past.
Once again, Ekla realized what kind of person she was moving with. Ekla, who remembered her mild dizziness, was starting to feel more in need of rest.
"... I'll sort out my thoughts a bit. Because it seems like you'll need to reconsider my plan again to make what Alfi says come true. We need to review the mercenary regiment chart itself."
"Well, I also think I should if I get a chance. In that case, it would be too much for you alone to divide the interior. Cowen needs to be asked to do something else, and once again, another kind of people - especially arbiters and so on - need to gather intellectuals. I mean, people who can understand my thoughts."
"Right. I don't think it's possible for an intellectual to understand Alfie's thoughts."
It's a sweet realization that people who lobby for countries can handle it.
"Well, what do you think? I'm going to ask your people to call on the Alliance, but I'm starting to get a headache over the total amount of work that I can imagine, whether or not there are people who would like an officer to the mercenary regiment. Now cut it up and I'll rest."
"Yeah, that's how you get it. I still have to work for you. Oh, the training outline for recruits tomorrow before bed and the interview order for the new captain candidates. Keep it up."
"If that's the case, I'm ready there already. Keep your eyes open."
"That's fast work and helpful. Good night, then."
"Yeah, excuse me first"
Ekla left the office behind, keeping the eyebrows in check. It may not have been my fault that the footprint fluttered somewhere.
Alphilis scrapes his tea and glances at Ekla's leftover material. Despite the simplicity, the number of candidates for captainship rose to 30, and the training of recruits was complex and varied. This is an overview of the next 20 days of training. But when Alphilis glanced at those materials in an instant, he put a mark on the dizzying human being and wrote some modifications to the content of the training. And when you finish paperwork in no time, give me one stretch.
"Uh-huh, I've worked well today. There are a lot of things to do, but are you taking the day off yet? You've had less time to wield your sword in the last few days, so your shoulders are stiff. Maybe tomorrow we'll do Rosetta or Venn and the sword archery. Oh, but just doing an interview will take half a day. Hmm."
Alphilis is troubled. I have to increase my strength myself for the coming battle, but physically it's going to take more time to work out than it does now, and in order to improve my magic, I will need to work in a calm environment such as meditation. Besides, it is desirable to practise magic naturally and deeply, but it was difficult in this city, not knowing it during the journey.
"You're in trouble. I wonder if there is any way to practice and train at the same time. The last thing I want right now is time."
Nevertheless, it's not something you can do about it if you want. Alpha Reese snuggles into bed when she wears it, and she's fast asleep. The switching speed of this thought is also the strength of the alphilis.
I got into my eye for a moment before I went into bed, I cared about Remegate.
"(That sword - I wonder what it is after all. I have little memory of when it was activated at the fort, and what Lisa asked me later is refreshing. Asked Miriazal, he said he didn't know the sword of Remegate, and Larna didn't even know it. Muscade made a rare and difficult face, but he said he still didn't get it. Was there anyone else you could ask about this sword? Ah - should I not be a person? You had Maia and Lakia. I'll even ask tomorrow - and there's more -)"
Alphilis, thinking about it, was immediately invited to a deep sleep.
