Chapter 4, Episode 2 [Shadow of a Sneaky Cloud of War] Part 2

Night of October 6, 2813, Western Continental Calendar

"There is movement in the kingdom of Ernesgoola. Looks like we'll be sending tens of thousands of new troops to the kingdom of Zaluda soon... hey"

Finishing reading the letter delivered by Simone to the end, Ryo Jin grips the letter when he tongues sharply.

The letter says the price of weapons and food is soaring. With several knights preparing for the Kiltantian Empire in the west shifting to the east, there should be some movement within a month at the latest, which ended in the words of continuing efforts to gather information.

"Sounds like you're getting pretty shaped up as an intelligence organization."

Simone's role is twofold: to trade and procure supplies and intelligence.

Whereas Zhongrong and the others are responsible for the defense of the secret detectives entering the peninsula and for the work they said was the assassination of the hostiles, what Simone and the others are asked to do is keep them informed of the general situation on the continent.

Starvation "Kiki", plague "Ekibi", war, rebellion.

There will always be some movement in the market economy before and after these occur.

In times of famine, food soars and if there is a plague, the value of the medicine rises.

Economic activity could be described as a mirror that mirrors the information of countries and territories without exception.

It is easy to predict military plans from the purchase of arms and food, as this one did.

In that sense, it can be said that Simone did his part to the full.

"Oh, sounds like you're doing your best."

Ryo Jin nodded in a quiet voice at Sarah's words.

But the look on his face is backward with words.

"It's not a good time..."

"Well, I can't help but say the stupid Gucci."

Liang Zhen loosened her expression when she heard Sarah's words, clapping her shoulders and laughing.

War equals a large rock thrown into the quiet waters.

Just as the rocks thrown in wave the surface violently and ripples spread everywhere, the war affects neighbouring countries in a variety of ways.

Good or bad depends on your position, but there is only one thing that is clear.

He said that he would be affected in some way.

And the problem is that we can't predict where the impact will be.

We may just have to increase the price of supplies, and depending on the circumstances, we may be sending reinforcements from Roselia to Zarda.

As head of territorial security, Bolts is now on his way with fifty soldiers to a fort built at the foot of the Tilt Mountains.

The fort, which was built with the permission of the Earl of Salzberg at a recent meeting, was erected in the name of defense equipment, ostensibly to stop the monsters Monsters southbound for Ipilos from the Waltenia Peninsula.

But the actual place, on the other hand, is a precinct for eliminating adventurers and snitches from Ipilos trying to get inside the Waltenia Peninsula.

The monster Monster is usually a vermin, but it is one of the most important industries on the Waltenia Peninsula today.

There is also the subhuman problem.

In order to build trust with the sub-people, you need to have faith in a person who says Ryo Mitsuzai is true, but it is impossible to predict what the adventurer will do within the Waltenia Peninsula.

That was the likelihood that some humans would come to the peninsula to enslave subhumans, just like pirates.

It can be fatal in the current situation, where trust with them has not been built.

We can't allow adventurers to act on their own right now.

And as Liang Zhen's aim was, the intrusion of the adventurers was visibly diminishing by the action of the Bolts.

Some people try to break in without using the streets, but we leave your disposition to Zhongwong and his clan, who are also on track.

Legs aren't bad.

But at that important time, the war in neighbouring countries may expand.

No, the war will surely spread.

And that was something Ryojin could never welcome today, who wanted to focus on developing the Waltenia Peninsula.

"But the main battlefield is the Kingdom of Zaluda. There shouldn't be much direct impact on us..."

Sure, Sarah's right.

There is no doubt that there will be an impact, but even if Roselia were to send reinforcements to Zaluda, it would not have been directly affected if Liang Zhen had even been in such a situation as to serve in his reinforcements.

But Ryo Trun didn't nod at Sarah's words.

A vague and ominous hunch of "Buktun" goes too far behind Ryo's true brain.

The current number of soldiers in Liang Zhen's possession is low.

Fewer than four hundred people can be counted as a force of war right now, even though the clan of Zhongwong joined together somewhat the other day.

It still takes a little while for the slaves to get delivered over Simone and become things.

Besides, assuming their training is complete, there will never be more than a thousand troops that Liang Zhen can move.

Between eight and nine hundred if it works. Would I have just said about six hundred if I was bad?

The regular Knights are made up of about two thousand and five hundred people, which means less than half the strength.

Of course, the number of standing guards a regional lord has is a broken battle power.

If we can all use magic, it would be a shame.

I can say that it is quite a defense of the territory.

But...

(Lower the hurdle slightly, but we'll have to increase the number of people. Tell Simone to add about a thousand people…… later, let her get ready)

I firmly complain that Liang Zhen's investigation is dangerous in the current number of soldiers.

This earth, Earth, was summoned to the world and polished as he experienced the exchange of life. Liang Zhen obeyed it.

Because I understood that it was up to me and my people to decide if I could be prepared in advance.

"Hmm. It's a very elaborate city. There's a ditch on the side of the road, but are you trying to escape the rainwater?

To the sight of it spreading out the window, Nanai "Himuri" shrugged as he narrowed his eyes.

The moonlight illuminates the streets.

The other day, the compartment given to the Igazaki clan over Ryojin.

Five men and women surround the table in one of the mansions built in its centre.

It is the face of the elders who decide the decisions of the Igazaki clan.

"Bye. On the Lord's proposal. The streets have the same workmanship."

"Sounds like a lot of ideas."

Makoto nodded as if he was impressed with the answers to the Answer.

"Takeshi is a pretty functional city. And amazingly fast."

Ryusai leaked words of admiration.

The city's landscape, which stretches out the window, changes from day to day.

The expanding city.

Nor is that developing in a mess.

It develops under intense calculations, with kitschy zoning.

"It just lacks elegance."

Return it in a tone that makes fun of Ryusai's words.

As you put it, the city of Ceilios is a well-considered construction in terms of functionality, but it is completely ignored in terms of artistic aesthetics.

It feels artificial and inorganic.

A Japanese house with wood as its main impression would be different again, but Ryo Jin, wary of the fire, had built the building with stone as its main part.

I guess that's what makes this city look extra martial.

"Well, now it's a world of war. I can't help you with elegance."

"That being said, Mr. Hachinai. Don't you need elegance, like the capital of Kyoto? I don't want you to end up a lord on the border."

Plum softly appealed to the words in the palace as if to ignore the importance of elegance.

Elegance.

Perhaps it should be described in terms of the fragrance of culture, or sophisticated artistry.

Takeshi is never bad, but it can't be just that.

Culture is power.

The power of an important country, not like violence again.

This is one of the key elements alongside force in committing state theft.

"Well, let's talk about the future around there. On the contrary, I am anxious at the opposite end of the line in Kazuru, a head that seeks elegance at this stage."

Culture is one of the important elements for the country, but there are numerous people who have destroyed too many countries to dump on it. Ryusai's words are the best opinions.

"The Lord seems to be very interested in the culture of the subpeoples. Well, that and this isn't the story since they stole those people's hearts. It's a long way from here."

A strong frightened look of the subhuman appears on the back of Jong-hoon's brain.

Though it's much easier to talk than when we first met, it's hard to say what a broken relationship is.

The only salvation would be that we would not see any disgust for the subhumans on our side.

Most of the human ages living in the city of Ceilios were in their early teens, and the mercenaries do not fanatically believe in Meneos, the god of light.

If the sub-people chose to be hostile, they would be relentlessly eliminated, but it was quite fortunate for Liang Zhen that he was unwilling to be hostile solely because of the fact that he was sub-people for religious reasons.

Later, time should fill the ditch lying between the two.

"I still think that Ryo Misaki is the one who asked for the first generation, but how about all the people?

Everyone remained silent in the words of Jong-hoon.

Wish of the first Igazaki crowd leader.

For this reason, the clan has been polishing the business of "purposeful" that is passed down to its own clan for five hundred years.

Wandering without the Lord, they sought.

As a Gentile, he scorns and is sometimes persecuted.

And I finally found it. A man by the name of Ryo Shiba.

"Perhaps it's time to talk to the people at the division... and then cry to your children about whether or not" Kikoku "will fall out..."

A squeaky fine voice leaks out of the mouth of the plum.

Five gazes were poured into a single knife that was sacrificed before the shrine.

His sword, named Cry, is placed in the white sheath Shiraya and continues to sleep.

Just be quiet, waiting for the Lord to use himself...
