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

"Alright! The main force in the front is to attract as many sandbags as possible! Don't focus on killing! Step back, little by little! Whoa, never break the line on the side!

"" "" "Roger!

"Not yet... almost there... now! Ring the dragon!

"General Thunder, the left and right have succeeded in pinning down the sandbag herd!

"Alright! The front troops are attacking with all their might! Don't turn around behind the Beasts. It's dangerous for a sandbag to get hurt and run away. Once I've turned my back on you, I'll chase you down. But I can't get away with it."

I pulled out former Major Thunder, who had moved from King's Landing to Shipland as a hunter, and entrusted Mr. Golitown's army with commanding him, but he had achieved great results in the Beast Crusade instead of practical training.

Armies in this world's countries and nobles often hunt sandbag groups instead of training.

Because it was a one-stone, two-bird way to earn more.

However, there hasn't been a major war in the Great Desert in the last few hundred years, as much as a skirmish by a small army and the extermination of bandits.

They call it training, and they're hunting sandbags.

I don't know when they would attack, because the sandbag herd that attacked the town was more threatening than the unscrupulous enemy forces.

Former Major Thunder became General Thunder (now Major General), forming former Royal Troops and Officers that he checked and scouted with Aisha's ex-girlfriends who were hunting sand beasts and fighting sand beasts in quick combat formats.

"Strong. A swarm of beasts melt. I've never commanded an army, so I think General Thunder is amazing."

Aisha was right.

Her ex-girlfriends were quite good hunters.

That's why I've seen a lot of results so far, but General Thunder is so strong when he trains and directs them.

Aisha was a former bandit leader and his men often listened to him, but he would have been inefficient in terms of military command.

The number of people General Thunder summoned was increasing, but subtracting that from it was effectively killing the Sandbeast.

The sand beast herd is melting.

Oh, I'll leave that to the professionals.

"I can't beat General Thunder on my own, but I'm not far behind in command of the army."

The king will retire such a gem because he is a civilian, so his prospects for creating a new country may be difficult.

I got a lot of money.

"That's right. If I or La Label are in command, the motivation of the soldiers may be reduced."

"Isn't that right?

Mu wants to say that the soldiers don't want to be led by a scum like ourselves, but I don't think that's relevant in the army.

No matter how handsome or beautiful a commander is, if he is incompetent, the soldiers will die in battle.

"The Great Patriarch is right. Soldiers want good commanders. A good commander is about keeping a soldier down."

General Thunder, who had finished destroying the sandbag herd as scheduled, entrusted his men with post-battle processing and came to report to our sandstorm.

"Would one of us reduce the loss of soldiers? Don't we win?

Frau said, "It's most important that soldiers win, isn't it? '.

"Even if you win, if you make a big loss there, you have a better chance of losing next. Even if you lose, it's easy to recover with less sacrifice. The last one is likely to win."

Wars rarely end in a single match, and it is not uncommon to go into a long war, so it was very important to maintain your strength.

Not to mention our small population makes us all equally resilient.

We must try not to make any sacrifices.

"If soldiers who have spent time and money training are killed one after another, we won't be able to replenish them."

Using his skills, General Thunder summoned his ex-commissioned officers and soldiers to Gori Town as a family to begin training and education with the most promising of Aisha's men.

Nevertheless, the number of soldiers is still not that different.

After all, there were few professional officers and soldiers, just like in Shipland.

It was a mid-capacity strategy to hunt a herd of sandbags in a formed army, a hunter and a soldier.

"Grand Chief, it's finally starting to move a little bit."

"Beast crusades are faster than when I was in charge of my men. After all, I think a former bandit is better than a professional soldier..."

"Lord Aisha, you overestimate the Royal Bart Army."

"But you're strong, right?

"Originally the numbers are overwhelming... but there is a problem that nobles and their children will all become officers. No matter how incompetent he is. They pull their legs."

The Royal Army is large, but there is a problem with its command capability?

I remembered that many of the aristocrats were pretty bad.

"But don't you need complicated tactics for war? They're all leveled, so they won't be that weak."

"It's true that you're being pushed out by the numbers."

Unfortunately, General Thunder has told us that there is a 10-to-1 difference in strength between us and Shipland.

After all, it is absolutely advantageous to have a large number in battle.

"In any case, the Royal Bart Army's current replenishment capability will not reach Shipland. The kingdom itself, by surprise, has no ships."

"Yes, it is."

"Most of it belongs to merchants and nobles. Even if you try to recruit for the reason of war, if you recruit too much, you will not be able to live the life of the people. The rebellion is inevitable."

With most of the world's land covered in sand, it is difficult to organize a large army and expedite.

You want me to loot it locally?

If you do that, your local food productivity will be zero, and you will starve if you occupy enemy lands.

Water can be replenished from oasis, but people cannot live on water alone.

The ironic result is that the natural environment and low productivity of the world called Great Desserts are preventing large-scale wars.

"Anyway, I'll finish up quickly."

The military is usually also responsible for maintaining law and order in the city.

You'd better hurry up and organize.

With General Thunder here, I hope we can throw a round.

"I'm glad you called, Mr. Gori, because town is easier to live in. Well, I wonder what the name of the town is...."

I think so too, but Gorimacho, the town's administrator, decided to do it, so I can't change it.

It's a nice name, but I think it's better than a hard town to live in.

We have to increase the number of immigrants.

"I think there are many people who want it because the conditions are good. It's hard to sort."

Especially from the Kingdom of Bart.

Because the spy might be mixed up.

"I'll think after you. General Thunder needs an army."

"Okay."

There are a lot of good hunters and Major Thunder looks like an elite from the academy.

Leaving it to him, I encourage myself to work as a great chief... sometimes.
