Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

October 13, 7451

North of the Kingdom of Rombert.

Frakis, the second city of the Duke of Bertels' Realm, bordering the Granan Empire.

"I see. The day after tomorrow."

According to reports of reinforcements arriving at the Royal Knights garrison, Miroux has learned of the arrival of reinforcements from the Southern Front.

The late Squadron Leader had told me that it was only expected to take about three weeks for reinforcements to arrive - the moon or not - and that early arrivals would delight her greatly.

--It's a big advance to be here...

I was going to bite my teeth at the reports of the defeat of Honkulu Village to the east and the front that had been pulled back to Curry in the last few days.

Because it was strictly ordered by the sealing order left by the Company Captain, he did not go to move the 100th Knights of the Fourth Knight Regiment to defend Frakis.

Especially since Miroux did not have the right to command the Fourth Knight from the beginning.

In addition, Milu had only six troops, including her, and this small unit was also fixed as a force to conquer the fortress of the Junkel kingdom near the summit of Demakar in the north.

All she could do was gather up a small amount of troops stationed in villages and towns other than Frakis and send them to Curry as reinforcements, as described in the instructions that the Lombard Kingdom Army was allowed to open when it found itself in an unfavorable situation.

Of course, we have not forgotten to call for more reinforcements from the Duke's Knights and to report to the Royal Capital against the Duke of Bertus in the capital, Karoon.

But there are more than a hundred kilometers to the carrone, and Lombeltier is many times as far.

The Royal Capital, which is too far away, naturally calls for reinforcements for the Caroons, and whether they have arrived around here today. Where they have arrived, we still need a lot of time before reinforcements are organized and sent to Hesketh.

"Gather everyone."

Nodding to her words, Lieutenant Murrayg rushes into the Squad.

- I'm just lucky that reinforcements arrived so early.

As Miroux feels, the early arrival of reinforcements is certainly a good thing.

However, in the first place, the construction of horse-drawn carriageway railway lines has been started in the entire Dart region, which is covered by dense forests and there are many dangers, and the route construction has also started from the royal capital of Lombardy towards the south.

Reinforcements were able to pass through the tracks connecting the main cities of the Dart region in a "straight line" as planned by Al, and the trees growing there were also being cut down, so they were able to leave the Dart region without taking up much time.

In addition, a simple map of the planned area of the railway line drawn to the capital city (the topography and geography itself remain inaccurate, but the obstruction points in the opened roads are described, as well as the straight line from one city to another. Even if there is no road there, it is a meadow, etc., and even if there is little difference in height, it is possible to cut short in a straight line if there are no trees in the forest).

The cattle and horses that towed the wagons and the wagons themselves are the same, but this information was very helpful.

--No matter what, if you even fulfill the original order...

Looking at the foreboding back to connect the horses to the stables, Milu smiled with a little joy.

― ― If I destroy the fort, I'll be free to move. We can take three squadrons with us to Curry!

Under the knight Sir Kinshasa, the first officer who rushed in, he put his hands on his hips in front of a total of five people.

"I may have heard about it already, but the day after tomorrow, three Company Reinforcements will arrive." As soon as we arrive, we will proceed to attack the Fortress of the Hou Junkel Army, which has been identified near the summit of Mount Demakar. "

Her subordinates cannot hide their amazement in her words.

Because it seemed to me that it was nothing more than a declaration not to let the reinforcements who had travelled a long way rest.

"Rest assured, we will not allow reinforcements from the Southern Front to join the attack on the fort." Reinforcements will be tired of moving, and I will not force them. I'm going to ask you to rest for a while. Only the six people here are going to attack. "

The men who heard it did not speak.

Only six people were reckless enough to attack the fort, and even though it was far from the original plan to attack the fort, it was impossible.

The original plan was to take reinforcements to the fort and occupy the small square in front of the fort.

After being safe, Milu's magic blocks the entrance and prevents the enemy from entering.

Milu then destroyed the powerful fireball sorcery that could be used by shooting it into the narrow space (ma'am) that was open to the fort's walls.

"Oh, I'm not going to destroy it as it's planned." I'll change some of the maneuvers, so listen carefully..... "

The plan presented by Miroux was a resurrection of a plan she had initially proposed but denied to be too dangerous.

East Dart Region, the capital of the province, Lam York.

I plan to leave Lamb York this afternoon and return to Beghlitz.

Yesterday it was confirmed that he was willing to remarry Viscount Eckles Bartolim, the first-born deputy, and he is now putting together an administrative story with the deputy.

Incidentally, Viscount Bartolim didn't have any particularly evasive feelings towards remarriage, but only adored his two young children.

Until now, she had not remarried because she had not mourned her dead wife or organized her emotions.

Furthermore, as a viscount, since there were already multiple children with the deceased wife, even if he had a new spouse, he did not intend to have children, so it was difficult to find someone to admit it.

I don't want my children to struggle with inheritance, and I don't have any territory to rule over, even though the count is an official nobleman, and I will inherit it in the future.

The estate owned by the Earl of Bartholomew has only one large village in the territory of the Marquis of Gorutz, and the village itself is ruled by the Earls, who split their homes a long time ago.

The income from the village is only enough to maintain its dignity as an aristocrat, and a significant portion of the income of the Bartholomew family is accounted for as a substitute for the governor of the East Dart region.

In other words, although they are classified as senior nobles, they are considerably inferior in terms of income to those who actually own the territory, like me (although life at the baron's level is not a problem).

There is no doubt that a Viscount with a territory would have an unrivaled income.

Also, since the position of deputy officer itself is not something that is rolling, after twenty or thirty years, I said, "His Majesty the King. I will return the civil servant I have borrowed for a long time." If you kick him out, it may be difficult to maintain his dignity as a count for a while.

Listening to these stories, I thought, "It might be good as a project to press Andersen."

Andersen can marry a successor to the official count, and the viscount is a woman with an economic base who owns a city of the size of a Viscount.

As both an earl and a viscount, it is good to have a child who is able to succeed Andersen, and even a child is newly established.

At the same time, it is not surprising to even have the idea that it may be easy to grant territory depending on the future activities, since it originally has the official title of Count or Viscount.

Even Andersen doesn't really think he can do anything with me, and there should be age-related circumstances, so he wants a child who draws his own blood to succeed him.

Considering that, it seems that that is not the case.

As for me, I can take the title of Count and the marriage between the Viscount and the Duchess, so I have a foil.

Three sides, I hope you're doing all the good you can do.

West Dart, Rudd Village.

Loric, who ruled the village as a lord, was still sweating today to open up a new land.

In the wind, an appetizing scent tickled my nose.

I'm getting hungry, and it's a good time for lunch.

Essentially every household owns a bread oven.

This is for baking bread to be distributed to slaves owned by each house.

It is normal to bake bread for a few days to a week at a time to reduce fuel waste, and the day of bread baking is decided by the housemaster of each cadet family or his spouse.

Of course, the lord Loric's family of Far Elgars is no exception, and he has designated every Monday as Bread Baking Day.

I mean, today.

In the still-unmarried Far Elgars family, the bread baker is the maid, and it is up to a few experienced serfs owned by Loric to help with that.

"Alright, this is the end of the morning's work." Let's do it at noon! "

Speaking of which, I bought walnuts from a pedestrian who was on the train the other day. Thinking that she could eat bread with walnuts today, Loric hurried to the Mansion.

Slaves like Deng and Karim who walked next to him also looked happy.

And it looks like there was just a guest coming to the Mansion.

"Hey, Loric."

"Gnom... it's Fio!"

Loric ran out at the sight of his careless friend.

His escort, Dender and Karim, will be with him instantly, but the other slaves will be late.

"What's the matter, all of a sudden? Surely you were investigating coal around Mount Henson and Mount Wade?"

"Yeah, I think we've done a lot of research." I went to Beglitz to report it, my lord... it seems that Al-san has been mentoring the Knights and the Government in your territory. Looks like it's still going to take a while to get back, so I came to see your face. I don't have any other urgent assignments, and I'm on vacation. ”

Loric laughed when he saw Fio's burnt face on the day he said it with a broken face.

"I see. That's good." You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you? Today is a baking day. It contains walnuts, and the baked goods are delicious! You'll eat it!? "

"Oh, it looks like you're in the right place." But I didn't just come here to eat. I thought I'd have a drink with you today, so I brought you some wine. "

In Fio's hands, the great virtue of being able to get a lift was lowered.

"Good! Let's have a drink with him tonight!"

Oh, Lord Firefreed, there's also a smoked Iwayna prepared for you.

"Oh! That's good, isn't it?"

"Do you like it, too?"

"That taste isn't very good." By the way, are you alone? "

As a matter of fact, I looked for Grace, but I couldn't find her.

"Hmm? Oh, Grace is a soldier." That's right, you should leave the Knights. "

"I see... but even though it's a holiday at the corner... is it okay to come to me?"

"It's okay." I'm still a sergeant, so I'm not going to get you pregnant. "

"Hey, hey, hey."

"No, it's really fine." Grace and I spent last night together, and the horse-drawn carriage railway can take us to Galle in half a day. "

After a long time of reunion, Loric took an afternoon off (the work itself continued by ordering Sanno and Lutz) and ate a soup full of baked walnut bread, meat and vegetables.

I couldn't do this without being the lord who ruled the village.

And even though the sun is still high, it's a booze boost.

"... so?"

"Oh, it looks like a pretty good coal. Your Lordship was pleased that this quality would give you enough coke."

"Huh, that's a good story." By the way, what do you use coke for? "

That's fuel.

Can't you just stay with the coal?

"It's fine if it's just normal fuel instead of firewood." However, by making it into coke, it becomes a fuel that burns at higher temperatures. Don't you know that? "

I don't know.

"You're in college, right?" I'm the only one at [National School]..... "

"I'm in the [humanities]." I thought it was normal to burn coal or something like that. "

Well, now you can build a blast furnace.

"Blast furnace?"

"It's about a steel furnace."

”Hmm, that means you can make iron... even now, right?”

"Production will be out of order. According to your Lordship's story," blast furnace "and" conversion furnace "could be built right away, but there was no fuel that could burn for a long time even at high temperatures."

"Oh, is that so..."

"Besides, you're discovering 'Oil', right?" "Light oil" and "kerosene" can also be made easily in the process of making coke. "Light oil and kerosene certainly need to be handled with care, but they are not as dangerous as gasoline, and they are more user-friendly than coal if you use them as fuel for general use."

"Oh, the first thing you can do by distilling 'petroleum' is gasoline, and then 'kerosene'?"

"At first, it was naphtha." Well, it's like gasoline... it's a precautionary product after all. "

Oh, you've heard of it.

"This is the basics of 'Heavy Chemical Industry'." I learned it at the National School. "

"If you ask me, it's like I learned it in [elementary school]...?" Did you learn that? "

"I've learned... I feel... ah, I learned it in [National School] after all." It will fuel ships, planes, and tanks, and Japan was at the cutting edge of oil refining at the time, and it will also be involved in the military. Everyone knows "The Army Boy". "

"Um, 'Army' is a bad time."

"Really? I don't think it was as bad as I was told." "I don't know the language of education."

"I don't know." It's the most militaristic thing, isn't it? "

"That's not true... there were many moral good things written..."

"Well, that's fine. The contents of the gnocchi." I'm not interested. "

I see... I see.

"Let's get back to it. It's iron."

"Oh, now the majority of the iron made in the realm is used in the tracks." That's not enough, so you know you're buying it, right? "

Yeah.

"With a blast furnace, the amount of iron that can be extracted from the same iron ore will increase considerably." Production per hour will also increase considerably. "

"That's because until now, someone who can use fire magic has only melted it by raising the temperature of the stroke..."

The two of them spent the day talking late even when they ran out of alcohol.
