55 – Episode 55 Alencia’s Request
After Gibson’s coming-of-age ceremony,
The way back to the river.
No problem. All right.
No problem. All right.
I recalled what happened with Alencia.
I touched Alencia’s forehead.
A subtle heat sensation felt on the forehead.
A slightly red face.
I shook my head quickly.
It is not the time to think like that.
What is important is the request she made.
Expansion of the duke’s territory.
Vampires territory is blocked on three sides.
East coast.
Southern coast.
Western Frontier Territory.
Even in the northwest, three baronies are located.
If they expand, it will be in the northeast direction.
‘It will be a difficult battle.’
The Magi of Ireland comes from north to south.
The distribution of monsters is also affected.
The further north you go, the more powerful monsters inhabit it.
‘The good news is that we have time to prepare.’
Alencia said she would be released in two months.
“Stop! “We will have an emergency meeting.”
I gathered my subordinates.
I gave them each a task to do.
[Hans – Slave Soldier Training]
“Is what you just said correct? “I wonder if that’s training…”
“Do as I say. “Only then can we fight.”
Large monster.
Not just trolls, but ogres.
You must also battle stronger monsters.
In order to do that, we need to change our thinking.
“I understand.”
[Russell – influx of wanderers, supply of construction materials]
“We are building the fourth city, Yuran. “Take care of the nomads who will live there and the construction materials.”
“I understand. “My lord.”
Even before receiving Alencia’s request,
The upper part of Ireland was in contact with nomads from the continent.
Some have accepted the offer and are on their way to the Frontier Territory.
[Isaac – City construction, plantation reclamation]
“Isaac focuses on building the city with me.”
“Yes, my lord.”
We need a village for wanderers to live in and farmland for them to work.
[Aine – Mercenary General]
[Inon – Preparation for departure]
[Celion – Defense of each village]
After finishing the explanation, I stood up.
“We are scattered here. “There is no time, so take the shortest route.”
“I understand.”
“I understand.”
Hans led the slave soldiers and headed to the river.
This is for specially instructed training.
Russell left to join a nearby top tier.
The mercenaries also moved individually.
And I headed to the outpost with Isaac.
To the place where Yuran Village will be built.
.
.
2Nd outpost.
To the second outpost created
North of Terra.
It is a place on the west side of the Alp.
As this was the fourth city to be built, Isaac did a good job alone.
Build a road,
Divided into residential and commercial areas.
A strong defense wall was built on the outskirts,
Agricultural land was created outside.
Leave the construction of the city to Isaac,
I focused on what only I could do.
‘Removal of demon energy.’
During Land Recovery (Lv 1), the magical energy in the farmland disappeared at an unimaginable speed.
‘Still, it’s slow.’
The time given was two months.
There was a lot to prepare for in a short period of time.
‘You must fight large monsters with your current strength.’
Thorough preparation was necessary.
While I was worrying, my magic power was restored,
I used the skill again.
‘Removal of demon energy.’
.
.
It took more than a month just to remove magic from the farmland.
“If my skill level hadn’t gone up, it would have taken more.”
Removal of demon energy (Lv 7)
Purifies demonic energy.
I visited Isaac, who was in charge of the construction.
“Master!”
“The removal of demon energy has been completed. “Don’t leave the rest up to you.”
“Don’t worry about this place.”
“When wanderers come, don’t forget to let them farm.”
“Yes, my lord.”
There is a reason why we took so much time to eliminate demon energy.
Respected farm owner (Lv 5)
Increases the loyalty of affiliated farmers.
Because I need to receive the effect of the skill.
That way, fewer problems will occur.
Leave the remaining work to Isaac,
I moved to Iron Village.
“What about ballista?”
The first thing I did was check the ballista.
In order for an ordinary person who cannot use mana to deal with large monsters,
You must have a weapon suitable for it.
The weapon is a ballista.
In a vacant lot near the village
A ballista shooting test was conducted.
‘Performance has improved again.’
Completeness of design 71.
As the craftsmen’s skills increased, they were progressing toward that figure.
“Put the ballista on the cart.”
“Is that everything you said?”
“Yes, everything.”
“Then what about the defense of Iron Village?”
The original plan was to mass-produce ballistas and develop self-defense capabilities.
“Things have changed. The village will be defended by Salamander mercenaries. “For any shortcomings, you can hire additional mercenaries.”
“That’s right. “I’ll put it on the cart right away.”
With all the ballistas in the village, we set off for River Village.
River Village.
This place was once the border of the Frontier Viscounty.
Now it has become difficult to find monsters.
People were active not only in the village but also in nearby areas.
Among them were slave soldiers and Innocent mercenaries.
A vacant lot near the village.
I stood on the hill and watched them training.
The soldiers were sweating profusely and moving without stopping.
What is unusual is that there are no weapons in the hands.
Many people even took off their armor.
“You’re doing well.”
The training I am doing now is what I ordered.
So there is no need to scold me for putting down my weapon and taking off my armor.
Watching the training,
I calculated the date in my mind.
I thought I could rest for two days and then leave.
“Hans!”
“Lord So! “Are you here?”
“Let the soldiers rest today and tomorrow. “We are leaving for the Duchy of Vampires the day after tomorrow.”
“I understand!”
**
**
Northern part of the Duchy of Vampires.
7,000 Troops were gathered there.
60 Knights of Vampires participated.
Clan Kent joined with Baron’s troops.
The Gray Magic Tower also provided wizard power support.
Alencia must lead this army and subdue the northern monsters.
This is not a simple subjugation.
You must occupy the territory.
‘Such unreasonable competition.’
The mission given by Duke Vampire is becoming increasingly difficult.
We have already surpassed the level of training successors.
‘It’s not growing, but rather it’s eating away.’
How many people will die in this war?
Casualties will occur not only among soldiers but also knights and wizards.
They are all people who support themselves.
From Noble mtl dot com
“Sister.”
Elena Frontier has arrived.
As expected from Frontier blood, her magical talent is outstanding.
I already know how to use most of the 3rd circle magic.
“Sister, these are my classmates.”
I introduced my friend who came with me.
If they were classmates, they would be those studying at the Gray Magic Tower.
1~2 Circles.
They are not helpful in war.
But I have no intention of ignoring it.
“Thank you for coming here.”
“No. “Princess!”
“Princess, I will work hard!”
“Please leave anything to us!”
The spirit is good, but…
“Your job is to learn how to fight. Don’t stand in front. “Focus on rear support.”
Some students looked disappointed.
“Sister, see you later.”
“Okay. “Rest.”
They are talented people for the future.
It cannot be consumed here.
It wouldn’t be helpful in the first place.
In the war against large monsters
Because there’s almost nothing the low-circle wizard can do.
“Um…”
Thoughts turned to Elwin.
This is a frequent occurrence recently.
When I thought about something, Elwin came to mind in the end.
“Did I just call you that for no reason?”
I was worried about Elwin fighting a large monster.
Elwin has no personal force.
His strength is force.
Then is that force strong?
Not even that.
Slave soldiers are elite.
Even so, you cannot use mana.
What about mercenaries?
Weaker than a knight.
It will not be easy to control on the battlefield.
The only thing that helps is the ballista…
Ballista’s limitations are clear.
It is difficult to move,
The hit rate is not high.
In the end, it is the wizard’s backward compatibility level.
‘As expected, I’ll have to leave the rear.’
“Princess.”
“What’s going on?”
“The Frontier Little Lord’s troops will arrive soon.”
“I see. “Prepare your welcome.”
“Yes!”
Alencia stood up.
To meet Elwin.
Northern Vampires.
Alencia Unit.
I stood outside and waited for Elwin.
‘Are you going to bring all the troops you saw at South Castle? Then maybe a thousand people.’
Lush forest.
Elwin appeared there.
‘Elwin…’
After that, a mercenary group was seen.
‘You brought the Innocent mercenaries.’
This is the largest mercenary group operating in Ireland.
A slave soldier was seen behind them.
Well-trained elite troops.
‘It’s a shame.’
If your opponent is not a large monster, you can expect great performance.
But the number was unusual.
Even though a thousand people came out of the forest,
Subsequently, a new slave soldier appeared.
1000.
2000.
3000.
‘3,000?’
Even if Elwin’s forces were comprised of slaves, 3,000 was an excessive number.
This is the level where they gave up some of their defense and brought him in.
‘Have you left the rear to mercenaries?’
The Salamander mercenaries were not visible, and there was a reason.
A ballista was seen behind the 3,000 slave soldiers.
10.
20.
…
50.
‘Did you produce more in the meantime?’
Elwin’s total forces.
Slave soldiers 3000.
Mercenary 150.
Hunter 300.
Ballista 50.
In terms of his quantity, he was no less than his own troops.
‘You are placing them in the rear?’
Alencia’s head turned quickly.
Because Elwin’s power was so great that the entire strategy had to be changed.
“Princess.”
“Princess.”
“What’s going on?”
“Elwin has arrived.”
Elwin got off his horse and was kneeling on one knee.
“Thank you for coming. “My… dear friend.”
