In a World Filled with Deserts, an Old Man with Electronic Money

"Former Commander Thunder, are you still leaving King's Landing?

"Ah, this tax rate doesn't make you look stupid. It's not impossible to live, but there's no way to live a life without a cut. Go to Shipland with family, party members, other hunters and their families."

"I see... I'm sorry..."

Well, don't be silly. I don't want to join the Royal Army anymore. Then we have to leave. "

I went to see former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder, a veteran of the army and a hunter, when I heard he was leaving King's Landing.

Though he would be busy preparing for the move, he didn't give me any money, and he welcomed me with pleasure.

I suppose this is because I am considered to be one of the few matomo aristocracy among the many nobles who hate me.

I was ignored by His Majesty now and by the royal and aristocratic coalition opposed to him, but I was grateful that former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder did not dislike me.

"The tax rate for hunters is 80%... are you licking it? It's going to be so stupid and stupid to leave."

"Your Majesty says it is a matter of patience for the kingdom."

"That's a fine thing. We commoners have endured a poor life, and His Majesty and the nobles are as luxurious as usual, right? No fool gets caught up in such an argument. I'm just scared and patient."

"There is also the option of belonging to the military. That would lower taxes."

"You're a military man. I was an ex-commissioned officer, no exceptions. Stupid noble officers have fewer chairs. The sandbag extermination that those idiots ordered me to do, the reward is the same, but I don't care how many lives I have. I don't know what that king wants to do."

"The conflict between Your Majesty and the nobles is still intense. All of a sudden, I can't get rid of them. So the policy is halfway there."

The hunters' integration into the Royal Army was to strengthen their power.

However, the majority of Royal Army officers are aristocrats.

Many hunters have been retired to give cadets to nobles.

Ex-Colonel Thunder, too, and if we put them back into their original ranks, the rebellion from the nobles will grow, and there will be no more posts.

That's where the aristocratic officers took command.

The powerful hunters were forced to join the Royal Army because they could not live because the tax was 80% if they remained free.

Lead and level the increased number of Hunter Soldiers with Noble Officers.

Their noble officers had a bad reputation because they had benefited from level-ups while in the safe zone.

Hunters like former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder, who knew this, were more and more likely to leave King's Landing with their families if they could no longer live in it.

Most of them are on their way to Shipland.

"There are problems, but the Royal Army is expanding well."

Regardless of the quality of the Commander, there are no noble generals or matomo.

However, excellent aristocrats also have drawbacks.

The greater the nobility, the greater the number of relatives, relatives, messengers, factions, ministers, citizens, etc.

Regardless of status, there are more ordinary people and incompetent people than competent ones.

Sometimes they weaken the tissue to give them seats and candy.

Even if the nobleman himself is competent.

"Overall, where is the reinforced Royal Army heading? Baron Suitan, I hope we don't have to decide on a female in Shipland."

"Is it the Vicomte de Shipland?

"In any case, being in King's Landing is Omama's food. That's what it is. Baron Stein is a civilian. Are you okay?

"But it's cold rice."

Better than dying.

I see.

Former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder and former military hunters are moving to Shipland.

If the Royal Army were to attack Shipland, they would stand up.

It's advantageous in terms of troop numbers, but given average training, combat power, and commander abilities... a good hunter is also mixed with many good ex-commissioned officers, so if it comes to war...

Whoa, this was the biggest military secret of my Royal Bart Army.

Instead of being incompetent, more than half of the noble officers are pulling their feet.

Personal combat power has become stronger by leveling together, so it can be said that it is of an extra poor nature.

"Although it is a distortion, the development of the Royal Army is progressing. But I'm not talking about right now."

"The Transformer? Baron Stein."

"That's what it is. That's more than four years away."

His Majesty disliked the 'transformer', who could only be summoned once every fifty years, pretending to be banished and murdered secretly.

If the "Transformer" died prematurely, he could summon again in five years by gathering the magic to move the magic equipment for summoning.

That killed Lord Tallow.

Poor thing you've done, and there's no guarantee that the next "Transformer" will meet your wishes, but what do you think of it?

"Will Baron Stein be here?

"No, because I am noble in the Kingdom of Bart. I can't help it."

It's not that I can't eat cold meals, and I'm not involved in a struggle between the nascent aristocracy that you and your Majesty have raised and the old grand aristocracy. I just get my job done and I get my job paid.

Not that I'm not dissatisfied, but I can't crush Baron Stein's house in my place.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm not good at fighting."

"How about a merchant? I think he's talented."

I'm glad you praised me, but it's not my problem alone.

Because there are also the lives of families, a few, but also ministers and servants.

That's true, too.

"I support former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder's efforts in the new world."

Sometimes I wish I hadn't been born a nobleman.

But I'm already confused, and my son is an adult.

I can't choose to throw away everything I have.

Certainly, I am assured of my status as a nobleman and a certain income, but sometimes I envy former Lieutenant-Colonel Thunder, who can freely dispose of himself.

From the other side, I envy us who can get a pension without doing anything.

Humans are creatures that envy something they don't have.

Exactly. "The oasis next door is blue."
