Chapter 112 – Prinz’s Visit (2)
Prinz’s Visit (2)
Next day. Prinz rode a horse with Yunas and freely roamed throughout Yuno’s territory.
Prinz, who smiled as he saw food piled up in the warehouse and the energetic appearance of the territory’s residents, walked towards the military training center in the Yuno territory.
First, Prinz, who had been impressed even after seeing the cavalry of Li Baek trained by Cordelia in the Tesseito style, was completely amazed when he came here.
“Huh~ There was a reason why Yuno confidently said he would participate in the war!”
In Prinz’s eyes, soldiers who looked stronger than any soldiers he had ever seen were training, sweating profusely.
Although the weapons were clumsy, perhaps due to the limitations of local private soldiers, the heat and passion of the soldiers undergoing training impressed even him watching through the wall.
“This is truly amazing. At this rate, if we provide armed support, we would have a chance of winning even if we went head-to-head with the imperial army.”
Haha, that’s right. If we fight one-on-one, we’ll be able to fight any soldier. I’ve trained my stamina to a level that is comparable to that of knights.”
Prinz turned his head at the voice coming from next to him.
“Huh? Who are you? Aren’t you the one who became the temporary commander instead of Yuno during the last Battle of Streve? You were here?”
“Yes, that’s right, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. It’s an honor that you remember me. My name is Mayer, and he is the commander of the garrison of the territory under His Highness the Third Prince and is in charge of military training.”
“Yes, Mayer. Nice to meet you. The command back then was quite impressive. By the way, he disciplined his soldiers so much… Was that your idea?”
“No. I’m just training them physically according to the guidelines given by His Highness Yuno. I’m just training them to be able to respond on their own in case of an emergency by mixing in some tactical training and mobile tactics.”
“Hmm… I see. Still, it’s really amazing. This is the first time I’ve seen soldiers who show such passion for training. How on earth did they train them?”
Haha, we only gave the soldiers a little motivation. We select the person with the most physical strength in each 10-strong unit and give them an armband called a special soldier and an additional salary of 20% compared to regular soldiers. Instead, every month. That can change at any time by repeating the physical fitness test, and soldiers with the worst physical strength test scores receive additional training every day, so they train hard on their own.”
“Is that Yuno’s idea too?”
“Yes, that’s right. Moreover, His Highness Yuno always participates in the soldiers’ training and takes the lead by running at the front. Sometimes, he participates in camp training and even rolls around in the mud with them. He always wears a mana seal bracelet and says he will not use mana. Even though he played with others, he never allowed him to come in first place.”
“Huh~ It’s Yunoro, of course. It’s amazing. Really.”
“His Highness Yuno also promised that if a soldier with better records than himself were to come out, he would be given a rank of nobility, so the soldiers gritted their teeth and ran.”
While listening to Mayer’s explanation, Prinz’s eyes widened at the huge number of soldiers pouring out of the barracks while inspecting Yuno’s army.
“Ah… No, how many troops are there? I expected about a thousand, but there are only two hundred cavalry troops and this…?”
“Currently, there are 3,000 soldiers who have completed military training, and we are forming a 1,000-man corps of 1,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 light infantry. Also, 1,000 new soldiers are being trained starting this month, but the supply of weapons is delayed, so military type training is not yet available and physical strength is limited. “The training is focused on discipline.”
“Hmm… I guess I can help you with that. After I return, I will send you the remaining equipment through space transfer. If it is about 1,000 light infantry equipment, I will be able to supply it through space transfer. By the way, are there any archers? Actually, it wouldn’t be possible to train archers in a short period of time.”
“If you provide equipment, you will be able to turn them into excellent soldiers very quickly. And we excluded archers because they can mobilize Monster Mountain rangers. As you said, they are also a difficult type of soldier to train in a short period of time.”
“You mean mobilizing rangers? Then, if monsters enter the territory, won’t there be a lot of damage?”
“Ah… That’s because there are mercenaries currently guarding our territory…”
“Mercenaries? Are there such large-scale mercenary groups that come all the way to this mountainous area? Besides, why hire mercenaries, leaving behind such a great army?”
When he was defeated in the last battle with Heinrich, he experienced painfully how difficult mercenaries were to gather, so the fact that Juno hired mercenaries was surprising.
Haha… You will naturally find out about that if you go to the Ranger headquarters.”
As Mayer avoided answering, Prinz became even more curious about what kind of mercenary he had hired. Therefore, Prinz sent Yunasman to ask for permission to have lunch with Yuno, and then rode quickly to the Ranger headquarters at the beginning of the Monster Mountains.
“Um… Your Majesty! Why are you speaking so quickly? Looking at things like this, I don’t think it’s for no reason that Your Highness Yuno has a short temper.”
Mayer could be heard muttering behind him, but Prinz ignored it and got off his horse and headed towards the guard post where the rangers were standing guard.
“Stop!! Identify yourself!! Unauthorized people are not allowed to enter from here on out!”
“I’m Mayer! I have an identification card here, so check it out.”
William, who clearly knew each other, yesterday received word from Yuno that the crown prince might visit, he ordered the guards to be on guard according to the manual, and Prinz was impressed once again as he watched the rangers check his identity in detail.
‘Maybe it’s because it’s a territory ruled by Yuno, but everyone is working properly. If Juno becomes emperor, it is clear that he will make the entire empire like this.’
Although there was a slight misunderstanding, the rangers acted extremely surprised after checking Prinz’s identification card, further deepening Prinz’s illusion, and he felt that his faith in his younger brother was becoming stronger. Br〉
“Meeting His Highness the Crown Prince! My name is William, and I am leading the mountain rangers of Tesida Nikana Territory.”
“Nice to meet you, William. The rangers’ discipline has really been maintained. I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work leading the rangers and protecting the outskirts of the empire.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty. It is not just my hard work, but the hard work of everyone who makes up this territory. Thanks to the rangers working hard on guard, and the people of the territory ensuring our support behind the scenes, we can feel safe here. You can protect it.”
Haha, that’s true, but how does that diminish your merit? Excessive humility is also proportional.”
“I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.”
Following William’s guidance, Prinz checked the anti-monster weapons and the rangers’ armament at the guard headquarters, then returned to William’s office and had a brief chat over tea.
“Anyway, according to Mayer, in times of emergency, rangers may participate as archers in the territory… Is that okay?”
“Yes. That friend is right. Even if we are away, there are powerful mercenaries on our side who are still hunting monsters in the forest.”
“Mayer said there was a mercenary a while ago, but he didn’t reveal his identity… Who on earth are those mercenaries? They are mercenaries who will go anywhere for money, so they absolutely prefer doing various jobs in the capital rather than in a forest like this. I would prefer it…”
Haha, since Your Majesty is curious, I should introduce it to you now. Please wait a moment.”
After briefly asking for understanding, William stood up, went to his window, and blew hard on the small flute hanging around his neck.
Beep!!
After a high-pitched sound sounded from a small flute, Prinz felt a great vibration beneath his feet.
“This… Isn’t the monsters attacking? Are they not reacting to the sound of the flute?”
However, none of the rangers in the headquarters office took any action, and some rangers were seen resting outside and playing ball, so Prinz had to hold his head in confusion.
“Kwaaaaa!!”
And when three enormous trolls appeared outside the window with a huge roar, Prinz pulled out the sword he had on his waist for self-defense.
“What are you doing? You’re a troll!! Kill that troll right now…”
“Crung! It’s been a while! William! Why did you call me? I haven’t heard from Yuno or Miri.”
However, when human words flowed from the mouth of the largest troll standing in front of him and the troll shook William’s hand in a friendly manner, Prinz’s jaw hung wide open.
“Nice to meet you, Ajin. It’s not a big deal, but His Highness Yuno’s older brother here said he wanted to see you, so he called me. If you’re my lord’s older brother, wouldn’t it be good to make your acquaintance?”
“Kreung. That’s right. Nice to meet you. I’m Ajin. They say I’m Yuno-sama’s older brother, but I only serve Miri-nim’s wife, Yuno-nim, and his female. So I won’t offer a separate courtesy.”
It is said that the giant troll speaks human language and serves Yuno, and when Mayer asks to see the bougie from next to him, Ajin raises an ax and creates boogi, and Prinz realizes that he is a master troll who speaks human language. I lost consciousness while standing due to the excessive shock of the fact that it was being destroyed.
“Um… Your Highness!! Come to your senses!! Your Highness!!”
“Crrrr! Yuno-sama’s older brother is so weak! Shouldn’t he be fed more meat?”
“Ajin! This is not the time. If this person dies here, who do you think is responsible? Go and bring me cold water right now!!”
At the words of Mayer and William, Ajin thought that she might be reprimanded by Miri, so she ran at her maximum speed, filled her large hands with her river water, and sprayed it on Prinz’s stunned face. Abandoned
“Pooh Up !!! Heo Oh … Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I had a bad dream haha”
“Crrrr! A human called Yuno-sama’s older brother! I think it would be a good idea to train your body more! If you want, I will share some healthy ogre meat with you.”
“Huh oh!!”
In the reality that it wasn’t a dream, Prinz felt his heart, which was not in a good condition, start to attack again, and he almost fainted once again. When Ah-jin brought herbal medicine containing tranquilizers and fed it to him, her situation calmed down.
‘Whoa~ Really… This Balkan… No, the strongest territory in the entire continent was none other than this place. I couldn’t even imagine that it was a territory with five masters. In addition, 4,000 strong soldiers, 500 veteran elite soldiers, 200 Taeseito-style cavalry units, and up to 30 troll units…’
He feels that even if he fights against the 20,000 troops he leads, he cannot guarantee victory, and Prinz plans to take revenge on Henry, saying that it was a godsend that he personally came here and attracted Juno to his side.
Came into his head one by one.
