A few days passed before the soldiers and servants who had come to the castle to get used to it, nothing in particular.

The soldiers were also surprised by the warring tribes sitting in the courtyard, but there have been no particular major problems.

No, I asked Rade if he could help me train the recruits, but of course he refused.

Where the atmosphere in the castle had settled, we decided to leave for Battle Axe Township.

This time accompanied by Yild, who is in charge of negotiating practice, Crawla as a consultant. Ted and three soldiers to escort and luggage. Needless to say, Leiha.

Sedham and the other adventurers and the Dark Elf sisters remain because they are necessary for the protection of the castle and the training of the soldiers.

Plus.

"In case it's my job to hunt your neck."

and it was also to be accompanied by a rade proclaimed in the face. If it's a beautiful girl swordsman or something I said, it seems like a tundelle, but I guess I'm 100% serious.

However, it doesn't seem to be at all inconvenient because if you try to protest with the utmost if you are too bad for your stature, such as being watched by a warring tribe, you will come equipped with normal armor that doesn't belong to the warring tribe.

"It's Mr. Margils' stuff, so don't treat it badly."

"Roger that, brother!

"That's Mr. Crawler's stuff! Be more polite!

Excuse me, brother.

Admire Ted as my brother (?) There is a group of three young men who conscripted in "Abyss Village" during patrols. He was originally woody, had strength and guts, and he's been following Zilk's training closely. So far, I'm under compulsory requisition for attempted assault on me, but if you're going to keep me serious, I'll officially hire you and pay you, too.

Until he left the woods east of the castle of Zitheias, he used the path cut open by the giants of the woods.

The cobblestone laying by the Dwarves, for example, was not yet finished but was moveable enough.

When I left the forest, I thought this was a big deal because once I went north, I found a street leading from Yule Village to Battle Axe Township and had to go east from there.

This route will take five or six days to Battle Axe Township, but if we open the trade route, we'll be able to shorten it to about three days.

"Sacko, pull over."

"Aiyi"

"Brother, I want to collect firewood."

Traveling for days is also a battle against leisure when you get used to it.

I'm also very sorry that I think that I can barely help with tents and meals for camping.

As I watch Ted instruct the youngsters to get ready easily, I can't help it because it seems rather faster and more efficient not to help.

On the contrary, the minimum personnel required, which means that if they weren't there, I or Ill or Crawla would have done these kinds of work or carried luggage while saying hihihihi.

As the lord of one castle, I feel sorry for the boulders... I will try to get them to work here.

Of course, Rade never had a meal with him instead of helping the camp.

I decided to do a little preview in order to use my time effectively.

"Ildo, I need you to tell me one thing"

"Yes, what is it?

"As for Philsand, east of Battle Axe Township. What kind of city is that?

Yes, it's an eastern city looking to stretch its trading route further east from Battle Axe Township and connect it to Giteias Castle.

Previously I briefly heard from Sedham that the metropolitan area of the new kingdom of the East (Felde) is one of the major cities where maritime trade flourishes.

"Right, it sounds like a city where maritime trade flourishes. They say it's more connected to the countries of the East than Felde, to the military gods of the South (Run Baltic) and to the kingdoms of the North (Shrendal) at sea."

"That's quite something..."

"Yeah, it just seems like the cost is very high because you need to pass through the waters controlled by the Dragon Empire to get to the southern kingdom of the military gods (Run Baltic) and the northern kingdom (Shrendal) on the route around the south"

"Dragon man here...... By the way, is War Axe Township trading with Philsand?

"To the extent that it is finely...? Either Dwarves and humans trade normally is rare. Maybe there's some other reason."

We need to find out why.

It would be nice if the monster could get in the way and not get through or something as simple as that.

The construction itself would be manageable with Dwarf's cooperation and my magic.

"What if. What would happen if we could connect Battle Axe Township from Philsand to Jeetaias Castle and have a route by land to the center of the continent?

To put it this far, naturally, Ill have figured out what I think. looked at me with a stiff eye, then nodded loudly.

"That's very effective. Even now, there are caravans and merchants taking the dusk wilderness by road to Philsand. But mostly because you get hit by dusk wilderness undead, bandits and other monsters and you get a lot of damage. If we pioneer a safe route to relay Jeetaias Castle..."

Ildo, who was usually too calm, salivated.

"This will make a terrific profit."

Mm-hmm, right. I feel confident if Ill push my heartbeat.

"With the magic of Margils out of common sense, that would be the plan. Just..."

Apparently, Crawla, who had heard it from the way in, arms up and adds.

"I don't know if it's a good idea, but Phil Sandwich seems to be a big city problem. For one thing, the Duke, the ruler, and King Felde are unfamiliar... And you've heard rumors that there's a lot of barbarian raids in that city."

"Hmmm..."

The alliance I want to form with countries is only against the dark, not military alliances in the ordinary sense, etc. Every country must be on an equal footing. Conversely, I don't want to touch civil unrest, civil strife, power strife, etc...

"Well, let's just say that."

"Hmm?"

"That's what I call buying a clap in front of a grand horse. First of all, we need to form an alliance with the Dwarves of War Axe Township, right?

I just had to snort that me and Ildo were the best to quote Crawla's words quoting the alarm of this world (Sedia), which would probably mean the same thing as for the calculation of a raccoon that didn't get caught.

A huge rock rolled, and the ups and downs made a big difference. The journey went well until around half a day to Battle Axe Township.

He says he's got Leiha ahead of him because he's got left and right pinched with rocks and bad vision.

"Lord! There's a shadow of alien in the front......!

She changed her blood phase and ran back.

"It's like a giant... be vigilant"

"Giant!?"

Me and Crawla put up their canes, and Ted and the soldiers set up their weapons in a hurry. The rade also pulled out a giant sword and came to the side.

"Seems I haven't noticed this one yet...... I'm making some strange moves"

……

"Anyway, let's see"

When it comes to monsters, it's simply a giant monster, not much of a threat if that's all. Rather scary is the type that moves fast and has a lot of numbers.

Nevertheless, when you move up to the high ground to be pushed by the rushed face of a usually calm deposition Reiha...

From the high ground, we first saw two mountains lined up like walls on the far side. Is one mountain a volcano or is it raising smoke from near the summit of the mountain?

Much ahead of those two mountains was a rocky mountain about a third tall. I don't know much about it in the distance, but Rock Mountain looks like an artifact sticking up. If you keep going down the road, it seems to lead to Rock Mountain, so maybe that's the battle axe town.

And.

"... what the..."

"Humans... for..."

"That's not the right size."

What Me, Crawla and Lade gaze at and gaze at was something like a 'shadow'. The silhouettes of two thick hands and feet and a slender torso are boneless but powerful.

It stands about halfway between Rock Mountain and us, and if we want to reach Rock Mountain, we'll pass at the foot of the shadow.

Compared to the path at your feet, the rocks around you, etc., obviously......

"Big."

"I thought it was twice the size of a forest giant the Lord serves."

Leiha explains with a serious look.

I can't imagine how much, even though I'm not afraid of monsters that are just big. It's almost like a mobile suit.

What's more, not as shadowy but eye-catching is something huge circular around it. The most similar would be the amusement park Ferris Wheel. That was five or six, soaring to grow from the earth, and it seemed to spin.

"Ugh, is it working?

"Mmm..."

The shadow was moving as well as something circular.

Slowly, lift one arm out of place and keep your knees bent...... stretch...... Dancing, gymnastics or whatever it is, it is a motion without judgment.

"Oh, brother, no, don't suck?

"Bye, fool. If you're Margils, that's one shot, one shot!

The soldiers are also standing, but Ted barely keeps them down. Luckily, I haven't seen him coming this way yet......

"Dwarf has such a giant? Or are you being attacked..."

"Oh, uh, Master Margils"

Ill speak to us face to face with an encounter with an unexpected being.

"Master Margils did have items to observe the distant ones, didn't he? So take a good look."

Speaking of which, I had a 'far-sighted lens (telescope lens)'.

In short, when you pull a lens with the effect of a telescope out of your back bag and peek in......

"Which..."

What I saw there was "The Stone Statue of a Super Huge Dwarf" dancing silently and oddly against the backdrop of a water wheel.
