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

"Why are there so many sandbags attacking a convoy this size? It shouldn't be common sense not to come near...."

"Last night's blood! It's drawn by the smell of blood!

Most sandbeards are neither foolish nor reckless enough to attack a convoy of this size.

However, if you rub a lot of blood like this, the smell will attract a lot of sandbags.

General Thunder taught me that when we hunted the Beast in military training, it was a valuable way to attract it.

"Shit! Lots of them!

"It's a sandwich! Lots of them!

During the day, the convoy was attacked by many sandbeards, and the death toll was small, but the wounded continued.

Many more magic medicines are used to treat them.

Again, we began sabotage operations against the Royal Bart Army, which was exhausted by the daytime disturbances and sleeping tightly.

"Because magic boxes are expensive to buy."

"Take as much as you can."

"You do have to return this to the merchant, right?

"Fleur, we're not giving it back, so don't worry."

"That's right. I give it back to the king."

That night, I succeeded in stealing an unprecedented number of magic boxes.

Besides, it's almost halfway between King's Land and Shipland.

The Royal Bart Army is unable to reach Shipland and return to King's Landing at its current level of supplies.

We're going to run out of replenishment, and we're going to be completely jammed.

I wonder if this is the case. Retreat! "

It was a hunt, Lord Tallow.

"The magic box sells well. We can use it ourselves."

"Master Tallow, the enemy has finally noticed."

"Hehehe. It's too late to notice now. Turn into a safe zone at once!

The ship that carried us was successfully evacuated to the Zone without the Royal Army noticing.

The sabotage operation is going well.

Yeah! It was an ambush by a small ship! Why can't you prevent a night raid of that magnitude?

"However, Your Majesty. The ship was very fast, and the raiders seemed to be small but elite....."

"Then why not crush it with the same skill!

I was afraid.

These idiots.

Can't you do anything unless I tell you the details?

This guy's always useless.

Nevertheless, the raiders use unpleasant hands.

Soldiers took a lot of food and water from the magic box, even though they didn't have many victims.

However, the absence of victims is a problem.

Food and water holdings have become critical without reducing food support.

Buy from neighboring oasis to beat the paste, but the nobles who rule the oasis may see their feet.

Especially the great nobles who refused to join the army this time.

Did you really think I didn't know or realize that they didn't send soldiers because they only bought luxury goods and didn't have any money?

This is a large army, so we'll intimidate them with our troops and buy them for a price.

I bought it cheaply and was told later that I had merit, but I couldn't even see it.

They'll crush us sooner or later, but not yet.

Luckily, I've got a lot of sandbags and god goods.

I rub sandbag blood on my fleet's ship, and then I attract a lot of sandbags.

Shipland mercenaries say there are many veteran hunters.

A cunning veteran would have done it.

If Shipland falls, I'll catch him and hang him.

"Majesty!"

"What's wrong?

"That's when the merchants came to sell water and food. It's a big ship, but there's no magic box, so it's not as big as I thought...."

"I don't mind. Make sure you check it carefully before buying it at the market."

It would be better to have some food and water.

If it's a market, you can buy it.

"More than that, it's a matter of life and death for them to take food and water again tonight! You must not be taken from me again!

We still don't have enough food and water to get to Shipland.

If they take water and food again... there are cases of magic boxes that have been stolen.

I can't even say that I can't give it back because it's owned by the merchants.

Everything has to drop Shipland and take the magic box from the Shipland merchants...

First thing we need to do is get to Shipland.

It's still water...

With the attraction of the Beast, the meat was obtained, so there was a little room for food.

Conversely, because the soldiers were actively moving, there was a shortage of water...

Anyway, the number of troops is overwhelmingly advantageous, so if I get to Shipland, I win.

Tell the merchant to come back tomorrow and sell if he has any water.

I was afraid.

It is painful now, but I will definitely drop the Shipland.

That will increase my power as king.

I will destroy the great nobles who defy me with the sword that I will return, and I will surely create a kingdom of Burt with great kingdom.

"You want me to sell you water?

"Yes"

"I wonder if we could afford some food from the Beast crusade. The problem is water...."

"There are few wars in this world because of the difficulty of replenishing the water, but didn't my brother notice?

"Sometimes you don't notice such details when you're doing a king. Or I couldn't pull it."

"I can say Lord Tallow has pushed us that far, and my brother probably doesn't have a trusted minister."

"My blood line is fine, so I think people will come by. Look, I'm a commoner with the right origins, so I'm struggling to secure people."

"General Thunder and his men are tough men, but we don't have the middle and lower ranks. There may be future ministers in that convoy. We have to keep the damage as low as possible."

"That's why I can't let you cut the water. The more you take the water, the more it will sell, so you will continue to be an active merchant."

"You're not going to kill me alive? I was wondering if that's okay."

"Tarrant... Tarrant. How are the residents of Shipland moving?

"Almost everyone is on board and heading for Gori Town, or the move is over with the Great Chief of Katu's 'Base Transfer'. Minister of State Stein has also informed us that the reception is going well."

"So, that barricade? Baron Trest."

You're willing to intercept.

"But you're actually about to surrender on good terms, aren't you? I don't understand the nobility's rush."

We succeeded in carrying out the night raid last night, with the Vicomte de la Shipland as a temporary base.

Likewise, Taranto, who was actually the Count of Shipland, has let his followers escape to Gori Town.

Many ships organize their convoys and ship them out with people and loads.

Women, children, the elderly, etc., I carry them on "base transfer".

Not so many of them can be sent to Gori Town, so even the journey on a sandboat is hard for people.

On the other hand, Baron Torrest and his family, their followers, were building a barricade in Shipland.

Rather than fight to the last soldier, it will be to destroy the bones.

And it appears that the baron of Trest retained his position through negotiations with the kingdom of Burt.

A noble rush... Aisha leaned her neck because she didn't understand.

"What if you can't negotiate or surrender?

"It must be unacceptable."

I don't know what the label is.

"I lived in the same castle for many years. The brother's thoughts are easy to understand.

"If you want Shipland to be under your command, and you want to give Baron Trest a title, don't you think you can give it to the knights around you?

Oh, is that so...?

Baron Torrest worked hard to prepare for the battle thinking he could negotiate with the king, but when the Royal Bart Army arrived, he was relentlessly twisted.

It's the only ingredient in combat.

From the people who follow the king.

"Such a lack of sense can also be said to have caused the loss of the Oasis of Torrest. It seems that Taranto had more than enough, so if we take Gori to town, he might pull his leg."

"I don't think it's convenient because I couldn't get rid of it because I didn't have any particular reason."

Sure, Baron Torrest would be a downside if he took it.

Cold as it sounds, the label and Mu are right.

Hopefully, there will be fewer human beings with whom he will perish.

"How many Shipland residents are with Baron Trest?

"Not as many as I care about. There's no way we can save them all, so we just have to split them up...."

When I asked Tarant about the evacuation status of the residents, he said, "I can't abandon my home! There are a certain number of people left behind for that reason. '

I don't think I can persuade you to do anything.

"Conversely, almost all of the residents of the former Torrest territory responded to the evacuation order. You must have run out of love."

Already once the lord has softened and lost territory, the evacuated Shipland will be treated as an obstacle.

To put it bluntly, we started a defense in Shipland under these circumstances.

Isn't it wonderful that they think you're incompetent and abandoned?

"The evacuation should be over by the time the Royal Bart Army arrives. The question is, can they get here?"

"That won't be a problem."

The night operation to damage the ship and take the magic box is linked to the frequency and amount of merchants going to sell water and food, and the Royal Bart Army is calculating how close it is to reaching Shipland.

Let's get some rest for the night.

"The mansion is completely quiet now."

The residence of the Vicomte de Shipland, which we borrowed, was now wrapped in silence because we were the only ones using it anymore.

I have brought out my household goods, so I only need to use what I bought in "Online Shopping".

"Today, I'm going to try and compare various cans that are excellent for preservation."

Normally it is possible to cook, but I would not have had the opportunity to eat at this time, so I bought cans at "online shopping".

"Saba Miso Stew, Whale Yamato Stew, Beef Yamato Stew, Yakitori, Sake Stew, Oyster Smoked Soy Sauce, Sea Urchin, Scallops, Curry, Stew, Beef Rice Bowl, Bread, Various Fruits and Desserts. There's a lot of different kinds, isn't there?

"It's amazing. And I can't believe it's stored at room temperature."

The label was touched by a large variety of cans.

Especially, I think I like Saba Miso.

I eat a lot.

"It's really delicious for food preservation."

"The bread is also delicious. Most of the bread we sell is crispy."

"There are many kinds of fruits, too. Is it soaked in a sweet syrup? Uhm."

Muu, Huu and Aisha were also tasting the contents of the cans as rare as they were, but I was surprised because the other things were delicious.

Most of the world's preserved foods are dried products that take advantage of the Great Desert climate.

When I eat it, I lose the moisture in my mouth and my throat gets dry. I can't say that the taste is good either.

When I heard it was a preserved food, I thought it was surprising because it was very delicious.

"This ramune is also delicious for drinks."

"There is a round sphere of glass in the container, but is it for this?

"Actually, I don't know."

I couldn't answer Mu's question.

There are a lot of things Osan doesn't understand...

"It's refreshing and delicious."

"It's interesting to be shushy."

"The world of tallow is a world where food is delicious and technology is advancing."

Now that we've finished eating, let's go to bed and get tired.

It's been more than a month before the Royal Bart Army attacked this Shipland, but we need food and water to get there alive and well.

That's why we're living our lives day and night differently.
