Chapter 144: A Civil Servant and a Merchant
After leaving the council chambers, I headed for the mayor's mansion.
My next visit to Nambonan is scheduled for after the new year.
When I entered the mayor's office, civil servants and staff members brought in one item after another that they wanted to take care of before the end of the year.
Most of them were just confirmations, so I really didn't have much to do.
I drank the tea Odie had prepared, put down my brush, and stretched my arms high in the air.
I got this information from a merchant: …….”
It was a civilian officer of the Quardenze military who said so.
He was sitting on a nearby sofa, organizing documents, perhaps waiting for me to catch my breath.
It seems that there is a secret buying of rations and weapons all over the former Vojstra.
Starting a war naturally requires supplies.
Once they began to buy and collect these goods, rumors would spread no matter how they were hidden.
The civilian officials also have many opportunities to communicate with merchants, so they also hear rumors.
Some of them may say, “Master, we are buying weapons in the neighboring territories. They may possibly invade us. Oh, yes, in fact, I also deal in weapons and rations. What do you think? I'll give you a discount for your husband who is taking care of you. Hee hee hee! It is said that there are some merchants who snitch on you at …….
This time, it was not the sales talk of such arms dealers, but an oil merchant who frequents the city hall who told the civilian staff member in the course of chatting with him, “By the way, there is a rumor that there is such a thing.
What do you mean by “Quite a few?”
'Here is a summary of them.
One of the civil servants stood up and brought the documents to the mayor's desk.
The letters were small and dense, but they were clear and easy to read.
He said, “Wow, you've bought quite a lot.
The estimated amount of purchases was given in a range, but even the smallest estimate seemed to be enough to move an army of a reasonable size.
I asked the Nambonan merchants to help me gather information.
Since I put a lot of emphasis on Roomon's skillful use of the merchants' network, they seemed to have had their own ideas.
The civil servants, under the guidance and advice of Roomon, have apparently begun to build a new cooperative relationship with the Nambonan merchants.
There are many merchants in Nambonan who are familiar with the area of old Vojstra, so it was not difficult for them to gather this information.
I am glad to see that they are making good use of the merchants, as well as the results of this survey,” He said. It was also a good decision to seek advice from Roomon.
Roomon would be just the right balancer between the civilian side and the merchant side.
The civilian officials, looking a little relieved, opened their mouths in unison.
I have already sent word to the Master and General Gulfis. If the young master would also be so kind as to take note of it.”
'It is clear to everyone that the Quardentinze army will be in full swing come spring. It is quite possible that this purchase is in preparation for a siege.
As Roomon said before, the economic exhaustion of the former Voestra, including the city of Oceloria, seems to be more severe than we anticipated. We have decided that it would be dangerous to conclude that this is a defensive purchase.
As if to say, “This is the result of our joint research,” The civil servants sitting on the sofa begin to explain.
After gathering a number of Nambonan merchants and interviewing them, they found that they were buying far more rations than they had heard in rumors.
The Nambonan merchants, perhaps seeing an opportunity to flatter the civilian officials of the Kuordentse army, took this opportunity to disclose valuable information to them.
If they were going to attack, where do you think it would be?”
For the past 12 years, I had studied the military and warfare to a certain extent.
But I have memories of a previous life as a commoner in a peaceful Japan. I always feared the possibility that I might make a mistake in judgment due to unconscious assumptions.
For this reason, I always seek the opinions of those around me regarding military affairs, politics, and aristocratic affairs, and reconcile them with my own ideas.
He is always seeking the opinions of those around him and reconciling them with his own. “The only important places around here are the frontline base that General Gulfis is building or the city of Nambonan. If we were to be realistic, would we occupy or destroy the outposts?
Yes, it would be foolish to ignore the outpost and head for Nambonan City. A pincer attack by General Garfis and the Nambonan garrison would inevitably destroy it.
Besides, the outpost would be like a spear on the Voestra plain, which would be an eyesore for the old Voestra.
Yes, if the outpost is used as a springboard for the fall of Raishleif Castle, they will never again be able to pass the night in peace.
The current war against the Quardenzes can be divided into three main groups.
The first is the current imperial dukes, who once reigned as the royal family of the Kingdom of Vojstra. This is the one that my grandfather wants to destroy the most.
The second is the aristocratic family that was subordinate to the Kingdom of Vojstra and is now a count, viscount, or baron in the empire.
The third is the noble families who became part of the old Voistra faction because of factional strife in the empire.
Of these, only the second and third have actually been invaded by his grandfather Gulfis.He has never been invaded the main domain of the hated Imperial Duke, the avenger of his uncle.
Although he is now a nobleman of the empire, he was once powerful enough to call himself a king, and even today, he has a high territorial power, if not national power. My grandfather was not so braindead that he would have meddled without a plan.
The Vojstra Plain, which occupies about two-thirds of the imperial dukedom, is one of the largest granaries on the continent, supported by fertile land and abundant water resources.
The Imperial Dukedom, which completely encompasses the Voistula Plain, also has a large population of commoners.
If I were to create a ranking of the population of cities on the continent of Eluo based on my own judgment and prejudice, Othellia would be in the top ten. Top 5.
In addition, the Imperial Duchy has many fields.
In the Dukedom of the Reich, there are fields where high quality stone and mineral resources can be obtained.
Moreover, the fields are like fortresses that block the invasion of the Quardenzes, and are spread out from the north to the south of the great river, making them a natural stronghold.
Another characteristic of the Vojstra Kingdom is that the royal authority was relatively strong, and other noble families were subordinate to the king, a noble family, which was somewhat unusual on the Eluo continent.
The noble families that were vassals during the time of the Kingdom of Vojstra are now counts, viscounts, and barons of the empire, and are nominally on equal footing with other imperial nobles.
If they were to attack the imperial dukedom without thinking, there is a strong possibility that reinforcements from their former territories would arrive en masse, isolate them in enemy territory, and turn the tables on them.
That is why my grandfather and father spent 20 years slowly hunting down the imperial duke.
The frontline base that my grandfather is busy building is a long-sought-after bridgehead for the invasion of the Imperial Duke's territory, the Voistula Plain.
Originally, it would have been another 10 years before the frontline base was built.
Originally, it was a long-term plan to defeat the Imperial Duke in my father's generation, and if it wasn't in time, in my generation.
I feel like a Japanese whose house has been built on a three-generation mortgage because the plan was already in motion when I was born on the continent of Eluo.
The castle mentioned by the civil servants is located in the northernmost part of the vast Wojstra Plain and is built on top of a small mountain with excellent defensive capabilities.
From the Quardenze family's point of view, it is the strongest shield protecting the Voistula Plain and, by extension, the city of Oceloria.
The location of Leishlief Castle has many wide roads and is a strategic point for transportation to various parts of the country, so if the Quardenze forces were to overrun the castle, the nobles of old Vojstra would feel as if they had a spoon at their throats at all times.
More than 50 years ago, Emperor Zincaen, who had united the western part of the continent during the turbulent period of the war between the rival kingdoms, once attacked the Kingdom of Vojstra with a large army.
The story goes that he attacked from the area currently controlled by the Quordenze family all the way to the south, but the castle of Laishleif escaped the fall just in time.
Even Emperor Zin Kaen was unable to defeat the impregnable Raishleif Castle. It is famous even within the Kingdom of Levioth.
The Voigtlanders, who felt the Jinkaen Emperor's power in this battle, quickly surrendered before the second invasion, promising to dismantle the kingdom and even offering up their daughter.
In fact, the current emperor of the Jinkaen Empire, Emperor Ferold, is the son of one of the daughters of the Voistra royal family.
Emperor Zinkaëntook the daughter of the Vojstra royal family as a hostage to be his son his Arginis 'wife and chose to take the power of the Vojstra Kingdom as it was.
A few years later, Emperor Zincaen proclaimed the founding of his kingdom throughout the continent.
Considering the current emperor's loss of authority, it is clear that it was a mistake to bring the kingdom of Vojstra into the fold.
Emperor Zincaen, who was known by many nicknames, including “The son of turbulent times,” “The king of heroes,” And “The dragon of the West Sea,” Was probably weak in domestic politics.
He was always stationed at important points with soldiers on watch. When we confirm the invasion of the old Voestra, we can immediately send a quick horse to the city of New Neri. Rest assured.”
I heard that there are a number of soldiers monitoring the area between Nambonan City and the frontline base, as well as in the vicinity of Raishleif Castle.
If the army was to be moved, rumors would spread in the neighborhood, and it would take some time to gather the troops, no matter how hurriedly. It is unlikely that the guards would miss it.
The army led by the knights marches at a fairly high speed because its strength is boosted by magic power, but there is a reasonable amount of time between when the army is roused and when it departs.
The army will advance at a fairly fast pace because the knight-led army will have a high level of magical strength, but there is plenty of time between when the army is roused and when it departs. Don't care. This is the most critical time. You can't be too careful. I will advise my father of this.
An army led by a knight marches quickly, but there is another army that moves even faster.
The ancestor, who possesses overwhelming magical power, is able to boost the speed of his army by reinforcing the soldiers under his command with his powerful magic.
If the old voestra is really in dire straits, it is conceivable that a nobleman might lead the army.
Ordinary nobles are basically self-defensive and will often go to battle in their own territory, but they rarely come all the way to enemy territory.
However, considering the investigations of the civilian officials and the advice of the roomon, I became somewhat uneasy.
We need to respond quickly to the movements of the army led by the nobles. Confirmation work is important, but if there is any disturbing movement, we need to get the first report.
Ha! Then we will inform the military.
My grandfather and father started this war, so I want to make sure that it is settled by the time my generation comes along.
We must not leave the burden on the next generation.
I put my work away and return to my perverted mansion.
I have been staying at the pervert's mansion for the past few nights.
“Welcome home, master. Master.”
When I entered Rave's room, I was greeted by a smiling beauty.
She seemed to have finished bathing a long time ago, and although she was dressed in her nightgown, her body was not on fire.
I took Rave's hand and sat down on the sofa while exchanging “I'm home” Greetings.
Normally, we would have kissed and engaged in intercourse, but today, I had something to say first.
I have something to say to Rave.
Yes?”
I touch Rave's body and explain to him that we are going back to New Nelly.
I'm the son of an aristocrat, so I have a lot to do during the New Year's holidays.
I will not be taking Rave to New Nellie's.I will be hiding her presence from her from Eve.
The best way to hide her presence from Eve is to leave her in Nambonan.
No matter how much I try to keep her quiet her, if there are two beautiful elves in the same city, there is no guarantee that some information will not be passed on to Eve's ears her.
You know,……”
When I told her I would be gone, Rave's face Her turned blue Her color Her changed drastically and her expression Her hardened into a tickle.
I squeezed her trembling hands tightly and kissed her cheeks.
I'm not abandoning Rave.
'So, but……
New Nellie City will be a different environment than here.
I'd still like to be with my master.”
The actual “I'm not a fan of the newest and most popular”.
The actual “I'm not a fan of the way you look at it,” He said, “But I'm not a fan of the way you look at it.
The softness of the handles made my cock clench unintentionally.
'I think it would be better for Rahve if he stayed with the girls in the mansion.
U……”
Rahve blends in well with the circle of protective daughters, and the servants are only women, except for Tesh.
For her, the perverted mansion is a place where she feels safe.
Besides, I'm really busy over New Year's and New Year's. I don't know if I'll be able to come to see you at night. Then Rave would be all alone.
Well, that's……
I care about Rave a lot, and I don't want him to have a hard time. I care about Rave a lot and I don't want him to have a hard time. Trust me, …….”
I smiled at her and hugged her as hard as I could.
It was a very pleasant sensation.
Rave mumbled a few times as if she was chewing on my words. She may have been trying to argue with me, but in the end she remained silent.
Rave.”
I put my hand around the back of Rave's head, narrowed my eyes, and brought my lips close to his.
Master……”
Our lips touch each other and our tongues intertwine.
We exchange saliva, feeling each other's breath, the softness and warmth of our lips.
My testicles are almost at the limit of their capacity, desperately trying to produce a child.
'I won't see you for a while. Tonight I'm going to plant my seed in Rave in abundance.'
In the end, I ejaculated inside Rave three times that night.
Today's sexual output was one shot in Rave early in the morning, two shots in Anna in the afternoon, and three shots in Rave in the evening.
I feel something like a cycle hit.
If the fertilization occurred, I would treat it as a homerun.
