Chapter 135 – The Battle of Aslan’s Territory – 1
The armies of this world were smaller than expected.
Well, the military I know is that when I turn 20, I have to spend two years in the name of duty, and I have played a little bit of the Three Kingdoms as a cartoon or game.
In fact, it seems that the wars of the Middle Ages did not have so many troops.
But it will be more than now.
An elite troop of soldiers made up of only those with even the slightest bit of magical power.
And now, an elite knight that can be used in actual combat.
The minimum equipment they need.
It’s not just about having money.
It is said that a soldier only needs a minimum amount of magical power, but each and every knight is a living weapon.
If you think that one such child dies, the real loss is no joke. Just because you have talent in martial arts doesn’t mean it’s over, and magic isn’t something you can get just because you forcefully give it to you.
In addition, the equipment is really good because magic stones are used as a material. Good quality items are made by using hard-to-find items.
Well, the really good things are taken by nobles.
Chloe, who served as my secretary and knight commander, sighed.
“I’ve been buying it secretly before, but it’s hard to find now.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Originally, it was an item that was in short supply, but recently merchants began to take care of the unsettling air in the kingdom, including the southern part.
It’s a really top-notch magic stone. It’s a banned item, but…
Still, there is a market price for magic stones and magic stones at a reasonable level, and the price continues to rise.
Recently, the price of food, which can be said to be cheap in the South, is also rising, so as expected, everyone is noticing it.
And we set off that fuse… Do you mean this?
It’s fun.
“For now, we have somehow prepared only units that can be operated, albeit in a hurry.”
“Did you guys prepare Triana’s too?”
“Yeah. Prepared with top priority.”
I have mine, of course.
I prepared my portion from Franz, the things that the Muller estate already had, and the things that were constantly being purchased from merchants.
The most important thing in this war is, of course, Triana and the knights.
In the previous war against Müller, my father commanded, and my brother also… I believed in the Golden Lion Knights, who could be said to be the best in the South if it was simply a real battle, but I’m a little anxious now.
“Fine.”
“Yes?”
After thinking about it for a while, Chloe said with a serious face.
“No matter what happens, I won’t do anything to tarnish the lord’s honor.”
I can feel the determination in my eyes as if he noticed my thoughts.
But I don’t worry too much about that.
– Took.
“Life is more important than honor. Like I said before, getting hurt is forbidden.”
“… Yeah.”
He reached out and stroked Chloe’s cheek.
Chloe lowered her head, blushing at my words and touch.
– Poof!
“Wow!”
Chloe’s small body allows her to lift it lightly without strengthening her body with magical powers. She lifted her arms around her waist and rested them gently on her thighs.
He seems surprised by the sudden action, but when her eyes met, her eyes changed slightly.
“Did I really understand?”
“No, of course.”
Chloe’s waist, her hands on her stomach.
It’s small and neat, but a knight is a knight. Elastic abdominal muscles are touched.
“You know if you disobey an order, right? Now, repeat what I said earlier.”
“… Ugh, ugh.”
Chloe, who hesitated at my words with a bright red face, opened her mouth.
“My, my…”
“Mmmm.”
Back.
A small hand on my shoulder clenched into a fist.
It’s embarrassing, but that’s why it’s an order.
As I stared at him, he sighed as if he had given up.
“Sah, if you get hurt… , Until my, my abs are soft… Even if you continue to get pregnant and give birth, you will immediately get pregnant again… I can’t go out for the rest of my life… Ha, you did!”
“Nice job, Chloe.”
He stroked Chloe’s cheek.
It’s hot.
“Ugh…”
He squeezed Chloe’s soft ass.
I should be used to it now, but when I approach it like this, I feel embarrassed. Shall we enjoy it in this state? Could it be? Should I Shall I do it?
-Smart!
“Leo. This is Isabelle.”
“Ah…”
It’s a waste.
It must be a report on the Aslan estate. Can’t hear it either
Chloe, startled by Isabelle’s words outside, pretends to get off.
Well…
“Come in!”
“Le-sama Leo?!”
I grabbed the embarrassed Chloe’s butt.
Tak-tak-tak! It hits him on the shoulder, but it’s just a weak fist.
In the end, he seemed to have given up, grabbing my shoulders and lowering his face.
“Excuse me…”
Isabelle entered her room, greeted her, and raised her head to find me.
Isabelle paused for a moment before shaking her head.
“It is still business hours, Leo. Please make it a little easier for Chloe.”
“Is this an expression of affection?”
“Work piled up.”
“I get it, I get it.”
But it’s time to listen to the report anyway, so you’re not working, are you?
I enjoyed the feel of Chloe slipping into my arms.
“… This is a report about the Aslan estate.”
“Yes. Tell me.”
Isabel, whose expression changed at my words, began to speak skillfully.
It looks like you’re used to it now.
At first she had trouble speaking properly. He also has a talent.
“You seem quite angry. Belatedly, adventurers and other soldiers are being summoned.”
“Even if you are an adventurer, it would be useless to come and gather soldiers now.”
It only increases the damage.
Even if the number of small pikes increases, one elite knight is not enough. What matters is quality. In a world where equality using the unconventional power of magic is impossible in the first place… It’s not like you don’t know that.
– Mungle!
Listening to the report while feeling the touch of Chloe’s butt definitely relieves stress. Is this animal healing?
Humans are animals too.
“Well, that would be better than nothing. So what about Triana?”
“We moved as planned.”
The important thing in this war is Triana. A power that can deal with nobles except me. It wouldn’t be impossible if the knights joined forces, but the damage would be severe.
“Because I can’t send Irina away. She will do just fine.”
“Yeah.”
Irina is still a guest… If you want to work under me, it’s a bit like right now. Still, the fact that the defense of her castle is guaranteed just by her presence in Müller is psychologically reassuring.
After listening to the report, Chloe buried her head on my shoulder and whispered softly.
“I could have done it, but…”
It feels a bit mixed with complaints. Although Isabelle also shows confidence by nodding her head.
“It’s not that I don’t believe it, but not yet.”
“… Yes. Sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
The way knights fight against nobles has been studied for a very long time. There is a definite difference between a noble and a knight, but just as a difference in engine output does not necessarily mean that a fast car wins a race, there is no way to do that. But the damage is extreme.
When I see them, I think
This world is cruel.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how talented you are.
The limits of origin and lineage are clearer than Earth.
“Tell Triana to keep a close eye on her.”
“Yeah.”
Isabelle nodded her head.
As she watched, she gave Chloe a signal by squeezing the butt in her arms.
“… Aren’t you going to do that?”
“Ah, yes. Sorry.”
Did you cross the line?
He became sullen at the cold tone.
“There is a call from the capital.”
“Ignore it.”
Not a hog either.
In the first place, territorial warfare was the authority of the nobility.
Well, I don’t know if I pay a moderate bribe, but the capital will never want to devour Aslan’s territory, no matter how much money you give.
“Consistently ignore it. Do I have to listen to what they did for me? I don’t even need a title of nobility in the first place.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Although both Chloe and Isabelle are making awkward faces.
That’s what a local power with strong power is originally like.
“And there are people who stop in the middle, right? Right, Isabelle?”
“Yeah. Both Franz and Borin received positive responses.”
Nice
As expected, you agreed to help.
I don’t trust her unconditionally just because she’s a family member, but she’s trustworthy compared to other nobles. There is also a fair price prepared.
If it’s a problem, Müller’s warehouse is empty with this.
“Still, if we get the Aslan territory, we will take the road to the Great Mountains. The benefits would be enormous.”
Aslan estate.
It is one of the lands where numerous trade takes place because it is located further west than Müller and is close to the waterway flowing from the Great Mountains to Lake Rainia.
Needless to say, its benefits.
In particular, the Georg Basin, which is justified this time, is one of the places directly connected to the waterway.
The problem is that it is close to the great mountain range, but let’s think of it as an investment.
It is a place where many benefits can be made if the security is stable. And if you use that as a base, you can create a new trade route.
The best is to swallow Aslan’s territory. Lanes should be obtained at least in the Georg Basin.
Then…
“The letter to Princess Amelia?”
“Yeah. Arrived safely.
Nice.
The barheun stock I invested in is going to die!
