The next day.

I was in the office working on paperwork. One by one, Ildo checks the documents he gives in front of him and stamps them. I don't use my head because it's mostly a regular report, but I don't use it for that matter.

"Sounds like a wolf...... whoops!?"

I succeeded in stopping the seal on a single document in a critical manner. Ugh, and wipe the cold sweat.

"Hey, what's going on?

"... it's another Elizabeth prank..."

"Ah."

Pinch and flicker the paperwork (which, to be precise, had been misled by countless other paperwork) submitted by Elizabeth, a sensitive girl diplomat proud of Ziteias. So, Ill know what's going on.

"I almost got married by accident"

Yes, the name of the document, which Elizabeth perfectly made and then just stamped my seal, was "Marriage Pledge".

"Ha ha... in that case, it would be a prank, but it would also be possible to bring it to marriage."

"He's a horrible kid.... Phew."

Thank you very much from yesterday. I have too much connection to the word marriage. My head, which was originally thin on romantic issues, is already on the verge of punk.

"Mmm!"

"Duh, what's wrong?

I slapped myself on the cheek with both hands. Consolidate one strong determination by reason forced back by that pain. As a king, I don't do what I have to do now.

"In the meantime, let's forget it all once"

"What?"

"In the spring, we'll have to negotiate against the Dark Alliance with the Kingdom of the North (Schrendal) and the Kingdom of the West (Rainddal). We need to find the Divine Library. So this winter we will concentrate on putting in place a solid system within Zytheas"

"Right, right"

Crawler, I mean, let's think about marriage when the country settles down. Let's do that.

Afternoon.

I had come to inspect a new military field that cut through the woods at the foot of Mount Foresight. The squad yard is divided into two areas. One is a vast athletic field. The other is a mock battlefield with lumber and rock obstacles all over the same square. According to Sandar, who proposed this format, 'Fighting the dark will require more experience in mountains, forests, villages and other diverse terrain than in the flatlands'.

I was taken by Sandar and climbed to the YAGURA, where I could look down at the entire simulated battlefield.

"Come on, the whole thing looks good from here, Your Majesty!

"I see. I wonder if this is the kind of setting that drives away the demons that attacked the village"

"You're right!

The mock battlefield was looking like a little village. It seems that the third squadron waiting inside first is in the dark, and the first squadron and second squadron in the soldier's service alternately attack that step.

From above it is well understood that there are about fifty First Squadron troops assembled at the entrance to the village. There are about ten third squadrons hiding themselves all over the village.... Ah, it was Deane who waved at me.

"The dark side is less overwhelming..."

"The Third Squadron is the fierce Schulds led by Lord Deane. That's probably not going to win the 1st or 2nd Squadron."

"I see. That's the Schulds"

Indeed, many of the soldiers of the First and Second Squadrons were originally young men with no combat experience. In comparison, when it comes to Schulz warriors, we have fought the Duke of Philsand army for years, so there is a difference in experience between cloud thieves.

"So... here we go!!"

"Langer!"

"Go in, go in!

Sandar announced the start of the simulation with an awesome loud voice. Soldiers from the First Squadron enter the village simultaneously.

If you look at the simulated battlefield with a long-sighted lens (Telescope Lens), you can see the movement of the soldiers well. Zilk, the first squadron leader, seemed to decide to have his main unit near the village entrance and to be thorough in command.

Third Squadron, on the other hand, the Schulz warriors...... don't have much movement. Many hide themselves behind the village. Confusion appeared in the faces and movements of the soldiers entering the village.

"Oh, there he is!

"Dayer!"

and several Schulz tribes were attacked by soldiers who were divided into a few and were in the process of dominating the village. In the power of the individual, the Schulz are overwhelmingly on top. Occasionally, two, three and a soldier are knocked down with a wooden sword.

"This way!

"Backup, please! Three opponents!

"Enclosure!

"Show the king what's good!

The soldier's collaboration was quite a thing. We continue to assemble to ascertain each other's location with callers and ringtones, and to besiege the Schulz warriors.

"Damn it, retreat!

"Run!

Speaking of the Schulz warriors, he had turned his back and fled like flinching numerous enemies in front.

"All right, good!

"Take it down!

"I got a bonus!

... No, but this... About thirty First Squadron soldiers hunted down three Schulz warriors to one end of the village? Meanwhile, the rest of the Schulz warriors lurking in the back of the village were secretly as quick as shadows, aiming for the entrance to the village. I can also see the zilk rushing to command from the main unit.

"Dayer!"

"Die for my you. Yikes!

"Wow, here you go!?"

"Damn, I knew it was an ambush!

The Shulls used the first three. First Squadron caught off brilliantly as funny. Seven or eight Schulz warriors below Deane, who win by their individual fighting power, quickly wiped out the Zilks' main squadron of First Squadron. No, the zirc was pretty sticky.

"Oh, come on, that's terrible"

"Oh, my name is' children's ball kicking '.... I don't see the face. The soldiers don't know the battlefield yet."

Sandar said carelessly as he handled his stunning beard.

Well, for what I'm seeing from above, the young soldiers' movements were naive. However, in a situation where there are many obstacles and information is restricted, it is neither possible nor impossible to think only of the enemy in front of you. And, I mean.

"It's kind of a sight I saw somewhere."

In multiplayer online games when I was in Japan.

"Any human being narrows his horizons the most when he thinks he's winning. Overcoming that is training…"

"No, I guess I could just feel it, but the soldiers could have grown up."

Yeah. That's a very good lesson for me, too.

"My lord, no!

He then changed the combination several times for a mock fight but was the total winner of the third squadron led by Deane. Deane pops up before me after training and stares at me with red eyes.

"We're stronger now, aren't we? More, I'll work out to be of service to you!

"... right, sounds like you're working hard. Besides, I want you to fight in a way that will serve as a model for the young soldiers. That was fine."

"Eh."

Deane opened her mouth pompously for a moment to my compliments. That, did it taste anything wrong? But the worry seemed worrying.

"Eh heh. Is that good? Oh, my God, you liked it, didn't you? Hehe."

"The princess... no, the captain can win even if he fights from the front, but then it won't be their training, so I figured out a lot of maneuvers."

"Good for you, princess!

"You're not a princess. You're a captain!

The deputy explained it to me from the side where Deane, with her brown skin red, was so lit up. Well, this kid's growing up right, too.

"Oh, I'm more than happy that Deane thought for everyone in Zitheas, not just for herself."

"You're right! Shulls and Zitais are here for you! If that's what you want, I'll do anything!

"... ugh, um"

Deane made red eyes shine and affirmed. I also kind of feel like I see a glue vortex in the back of those eyes....... Is it more scale than growth, this?

After the simulation, I decided to accompany the wounded soldiers to the treatment center.

I would also like to check the condition of the treatment center. Since the appointment of Salia as Medical Officer for the "head of the doctor" of the Schulz tribe, I've left it to you.

"Well, dear. Are you all right, sir?

"What a scratch."

"You'll disinfect it, I'll stain it"

"I was there. Please be nice a little bit more."

Wooden new treatment center, its treatment room is quite large enough to accommodate more than a dozen people at a time. Each of the wounded soldiers had been put to sleep on the bedside and had received generous treatment.... from raucous young daughters.

"What do you mean?"

"Every day, every day, soldiers are brought in with mountain injuries, right? I have no choice but to ask young children from other villages to help me as well as the Schulz."

Salia, a well-widened middle-aged woman, answered my question. I see, is that an angel in white?

"Demons before...... as His Majesty said, not only do you ask those kids to help, but you teach them exactly how to treat and nurse. In a year, I'll try to raise them in public."

"You're reliable. I hope so."

"Speaking of which, it's a medicinal herb that Your Majesty has magically raised. It's clear that it works the same way as regular herbs."

Magic is the spell of 'Plant Domination (Control Plants)'. When they made rough ointments (hand creams), the herbs themselves were precious, so I tried to make the herbs huge with this spell. That medicinal herb was okay means that you no longer have to worry about your inventory for other useful medicinal herbs.

"That's good news too!

"The Chancellor has asked me if I can produce a large quantity of medicine."

That's Ill, you don't have a loophole. Well, to strengthen our country's financial base, let's get it working.

"One mole... poor thing"

"Pfft. This is also to protect your country...!

Nevertheless, when it comes to the seemingly delightful things of the soldiers being treated by your daughters. Deane just gave me a bump, but I can do it.

But if they ever get married. Is this the first time a baby is born in a country called Ziteias?

With that in mind, there is neither the appearance nor the unforgivable appearance of the young men in front of us.

"Oh, lady, I'm a little eye-catching... could you knee pillow me?

"I can't help it anymore."

... forgive me, but I think I'll tell Sandar to make the training from tomorrow a little tougher!
