Night of November 14, 2813, Western Continental Calendar

"So? Why did you offer such a condition?

It's about the conditions that Ryo Shin gave at daylight sight.

Lupis accepted all of the conditions put out by Liang Zhen.

Naturally, it was suppressed to such an extent that it didn't feel as itchy as it did for Lupis.

Without being able to hang to meetings, including those of the ministers, Lupis was able to spy on the fact that he was summarily executed on the spot.

Well, the truth is that Liang Zhen deliberately suppressed the terms so that they could be instantly executed, but if you try them, you won't know that.

"Was there anything suspicious about it? Elena."

Liang Zhen answered Elena's question with a grin.

It doesn't look very much like there's a back from that look.

But Elena was certain.

"Suspicious? There's nothing like that. No, it's too much."

Liang Zhen could not hide her surprise from Elena, who strengthened her tone to assure her.

"No, what do you mean you can blame me for not having one?

That is a natural objection.

I can still understand if you have any suspicions, but I am not convinced that you will be asked even though there are no suspicions.

But Elena's expression didn't change.

"Ryou-jin... what are you thinking?

Those eyes are serious and unwavering.

Unless you get a satisfactory answer, Elena won't pull it off.

(Oh man...... well, does it look unnatural from Elena's point of view)

I accidentally had a bitter laugh on Ryo True's face.

It's not like there's much behind it.

I was just suggesting a slightly lower chance of winning unlimited.

I'm the one who dies if I don't do my best than go to the battlefield.

And in an army that can be led by Liang Zhen, there is very little power to dictate the battlefield.

How much work can just a few hundred troops do on a battlefield where countries collide with each other?

If you can, a special blow with a punch in the gap. Is that the place?

The protagonists on the battlefield would be the Knights led by Elena and the reinforcements of the Kingdom of Mists.

It's the real thing to say to lower Elena's burden a little bit.

We just tried to be a little more favorable to ourselves.

It's cheap to break even as a nuisance fee.

(I have no choice. If you bring suspicion to Elena, this one will taste bad...)

Ryo Jin sighs one thing and asks quietly.

"Is this about military funding?

A preparation period of about a month to join reinforcements for permits to emigrate to the peninsula of displaced persons and civilians living in and around the Wang capital.

The emigration of technicians seems to have become somewhat of a neck, but still not enough to say aloud.

Migration of displaced persons would be a deteriorating restoration of security in the Wang capital, and I can even say that it would be rather short if it were a month as a preparatory period for joining the reinforcements.

If so, all Elena cares about is the 50 million baht obtained in the name of military funding from Lupis.

"I thought you told me you were going to prepare the armoury food here.

Elena turned her exploratory gaze to Ryo Trun.

The name of the military funds is unnatural, and the amount is small.

Elena also understands that we need funding for the development of the Waltenia Peninsula, but then, to be honest, it's just a good thing.

Everyone knows that you are imposing an imposition against Ryo Trun.

No one will complain about conditioning financial aid for peninsula development on reinforcement participation.

Nothing needs to be denominated as military funding or anything like that in this situation.

Sure, but if you look at the state of the King's capital, you're too scared to leave it to me.

"What do you mean?

"It means as it is. His Majesty has no control over the current King's Capital. On your knees, right? Do you think you can collect and manage supplies from within the country in that situation?

Elena's face tenses strongly to Ryo True's words.

"Well, it's not like His Majesty collects them directly..."

Shoulders shrugged and laughed brightly, Elena felt her spine get cold.

(This kid... you said you read that far from the situation in Wang Du?

Indeed, Lupis' reform has never been successful.

No, you can almost say you were frustrated.

Originally, Lupis was the head of the Kingsguard Knights, and he doesn't have much contact with bureaucrats and nobles.

As a result, the totalization of power to the king that Lupis aspired to was causing a great deal of backlash as greatly limiting the powers of existing bureaucrats and nobles.

If you try them, the amateur of politics, who knows neither the right nor the left, is using the king's power as a shield to invade his own territory.

That's the only image I have.

If Gerhardt had died now, they might have given up too, but Gerhardt, who held the royalty of saying Ladine, had been the opposite stronger in terms of real power, although it was the title that lowered him greatly from Duke to Viscount.

The ministerial class, which is specifically the head, was indeed replaced.

The nobles, headed by Zeleif, Count Bergston and others, who have ever had an unusual day as bystanders, are in office.

But it's the intermediate, junior bureaucrats serving Gerhardt from his time in power who execute their lives.

The country can't move well with that they turned that way.

In fact, since the decision of the reinforcements to Zaluda, until now, they had ordered the procurement of supplies, such as arms and soldiers, mainly in the King's capital, but only about two-thirds of what was needed had been gathered.

Regardless, we will be able to get supplies from the Kingdom of Zaluda as well, but we cannot leave everything to ourselves.

We can't loot on the ground more than go to reinforcements, and it's only natural that we prepare ourselves to some degree.

In fact, behind the army, which also led the prestigious Knights, the kingdom of Mist was followed by a luggage truck full of many supplies.

Food originally consists of spare weapons and horse leaves. Medical supplies for wounded soldiers.

"Liang Zhenjun... you"

Elena lost her word.

The young man in front of him knows what an army is at this young age.

An army equals a giant creature.

It's also a giant beast that just eats up enormous supplies and produces nothing of its own.

The habit, if the food is scarce, creatures who immediately say army begin to run wild.

But few people understand that.

Except for some human beings, who are also called senior executives in the military, this feeling would not be acquired.

But on the other hand, the question that comes to Elena's mind comes to mind.

(This kid... where the hell are you going to source it from?

Sure, we need supplies. So I can tell you the story of military funding.

But no matter how much money you have, it doesn't make sense if you can't sell me supplies.

The amount of supplies consumed by the army has fallen off.

A knighthood led by Elena and hundreds of soldiers led by Liang Zhen. Combining the two is less than 3,000, but still not the amount you can buy in shops all over the city.

There is no other option than to ask a chamber of commerce of such a magnitude, but at first glance there would be no chamber of commerce to take such an order.

Without such a proven track record, we cannot contract with the Chamber of Commerce.

Because there are risks associated with purchasing.

"Oh, it's okay. To be honest, we've already talked. All you have to do is pay for it."

"Huh?"

Elena unwittingly inquired into Liang Zhen's words, which she said away as lightly as nothing.

"I've already spoken to the Chamber of Commerce in Ipilos. Well, I was lucky. That's why I'm securing supplies for the other six months."

"Yes... so that's a month"

The young man, smiling calmly in front of him, came to this king's capital all ready.

In advance, I just think I was thinking about the possibility of being called.

Liang Zhen is trying to work for this country by himself.

That's supposed to please you.

But that's not possible given the past.

(Since what time the hell... No, I don't. What the hell was that for?

Elena did not ask Ryo Trun the questions that arose in her own mind.

Everything will collapse if I put it into words...... I feel that way.
