The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

"So? Are we going to be able to secure the number of soldiers we need to fight?

"Despite a number of strict conditions, such as volunteering over the age of eighteen, successive soldiers were gathered from each tribe, finally bringing together a total of 800"

Eight hundred, or in this starving state, it could be more than expected. Apparently, firearms, Operation Magic Book played a role. Either way, enough to accomplish the purpose of this battle.

"But is it good to take such a deceitful approach?

Speak of the question that Aquid spreads among everyone.

We actually have food that won't starve all 30,000 people for another year. All I'm telling them, on the other hand, is false information that the rest of the food is about a month away and that the only way to save the family is to recover the food they took from the Laddle people who keep it at the Fort of Arcloy.

"No, perhaps you have noticed that Lady Grey's words are nothing more than pre-construction,"

Klama gave me an accurate response, even as I rubbed my jaw.

"I think so, too. Theo and the others have already noticed."

From this definitive word, you did something with Jude's guy, firearms, Operation Magic Book.

"Indeed, the representatives of each tribe seem to encourage the people of Radl to eat without restrictions. Besides, there's not always food in Arkloy, and I'm sure there isn't. That's how you expect him to be."

"Gray, you're the Raddles themselves, you need to drop Archroy. Is that what you're thinking?

"Naturally. If you think about the harm of doing it on our own."

"The General is a member of the Chamber of Commerce at the same time as he is a lord. If we get our hands on it badly, there could be a quarrel with the members of the Commercial Alliance from the Kingdom. Is that what this is?

As always, Jude is sharp. Rather, the thought of damage may have followed the board even as a merchant.

"Of course there is that too. But more than that, assuming we share food and free them with strength from the Royal Army, they will not follow my instructions in the true sense."

I'm not a politician. I don't know what a ruler should be, and I'm not interested.

But there is no consideration whatsoever, and there is nothing disgusting about mere existence to give. Such a thing makes no claim to any evil emerging religion.

More than that, it presents a plan with adequate research and research, which, if followed, will always succeed. Such an advisory role deserves so much more credit.

This applies equally to rulers. That's what I think.

"Gray's trying to get someone else's credit, in a way, is fresh."

"Not at all. Or, honestly, creepy."

The whole room is more and more engulfed with laughter. Not at all, they're rude.

For me, the development of this Ladore district is a major undertaking. If successful, it will enter huge assets that are not comparable before and allow for large research with different result digits. Failure will never be tolerated. And the acquisition of their trust can be an important guiding principle for the future. Rather, it would be natural to be concerned.

"Explain the situation!

I urge you to report it so that you can stop talking stupid.

"Base Construction Team"

Judd instructed the officer in charge to stand up and open his mouth to begin the explanation.

"Near the summit of the Ladore Mountains, a base is currently under construction. It's a stick, but in a week you can finish it."

From the fort of Arcloy, a base was created near the summit of a mountain of about ten kilometres. Magically camouflage until the time comes, but sometimes in the highlands, if the conditions are met, it becomes a fortress of intransigence.

"Weapons Manufacturing Squad"

"Already, there are 200 bolt-action small guns. 30 stationary cannons installed and 40 mobile cannons. The bullet is currently about 1,000 rounds"

The sigh leaks from everyone. If the factory in the manufacturing department of the Sagami Chamber of Commerce had been fully operational, the manufacture of heavy firearms to this extent would have been more assumed than originally.

It was the bullet that made the neck. Anyway, even 10,000 rounds, per capita for a hundred people, that's the only calculation you can hit. Not very much, but not manually catching up.

Since the collision with [Laguna], I had sent an instruction to the Sagami Chamber of Commerce in order to eliminate the threat as quickly as possible. It is the development of firearms and the full automation of bullet manufacturing using steam engines.

In the first place, the bullet consists broadly of four parts: 'warheads', 'drugpods', 'gunpowders' and 'detonators'.

Of these, 'warheads' and 'drugpods' simply dissolve lead and copper metals and immobilize them with moulds, and for 'gunpowder' and 'detonators' we have already seen their completion during the undead raids.

Additionally, once you've even made the parts, install a detonator tube at the bottom of the pod, fill it with gunpowder and cover it with a warhead. That was all the work, compared to precision engines such as refrigerators and computers, and even steam engines that were in the prototyping phase were adequately covered.

"How much of a day do you manufacture bullets?

"Approximately, around 400 rounds."

"Uhm, not much"

"Don't be impotent. With that power, it's not as good as this."

Leroy disputes just my simple thoughts.

"So is that."

Yes, the steam engines are so inefficient. Yet it did not jump on electricity and there is also a reason for exploring the operation of steam engines.

Science is deep. If we don't build a foundation, and develop it in a single flight, we will always be unable to do so, and we won't be able to apply it. In particular, my aim is the development of science in this world. Improving the technical skills of other associates is essential to this. It is impossible to produce new technologies even if I alone have deep knowledge.

However, the development of electricity is still essential for the development of large-scale industries. Perhaps we should move on to the development of electricity, considering that the experiment with steam engines is now complete at first.

"Training Course"

Aquid stands up.

"As instructed, the 32-member troop leader class focuses on magical training.

For the small gun squad and the artillery squad, 260 selected people are in training. They all seem to be more confused than magic, but now they focus on basic simulation training in order to save money on wasting balls, but they plan to go into live ammunition exercises soon.

Other than that, we are splitting into infantry, archers and training ourselves "

Archers and infantry are also going to have their own ideas. Whatever, there's gunpowder.

"I think it's gonna be a bump job, but please"

"Copy that. Let's make it look good."

Nodding loudly, Aquid lowers his back to the chair.

"Reconnaissance team next."

Klama rises and gives me a gentle thank you.

"The military wing of the fort of Archroy is one general, sixteen martial officers, forty magicians, 497 horseback riders, 2320 archers and 5511 infantry. Civilians are like 300 merchants who do business with military opponents."

"Eight thousand troops. That's about ten times as powerful. Besides, are there any civilians? Is Archroy's fort robust?

"Surrounded by high stone walls, I was wondering if there would be considerable sacrifice in the usual way"

It takes a lot of time and effort to move weapons. It's catastrophic to be attacked while on the move. Plus, I can't scratch civilians or anything. I want to refrain from mixed wars and riots whenever possible. We need to reduce the number of enemies to less than half for a smooth future operation.

"Now, as soon as the fortress on the summit of the Ladore Mountains is complete, send Camelot with a surrender recommendation for the martial officer who attacked him."

"Whose name shall I give you?

"Right. In the name of General Theo of the Raddle Army."

I don't even think the kingdom knows about the undead raid. Give me my name and you'll be on guard.

But if you're a Ladler licking it off with a barbarian. If it's a single cell as I expected it to be, it should come mad and attack me in large numbers. Whatever it is, the condition of not killing them all is to open this fort of Arkhroy bloodless. For it is most humiliating to be merciful to those who considered it to be below.

"As always, there's no forgiveness. I sympathize from the bottom of my heart with a bunch of buckets like you."

Everyone nods yeah to the sentiment that Aquid described as smudging.

"I'm not kidding, I'll keep going"

"No, I think it's from the bottom of my heart."

Using Leroy's whispering words as an opportunity, we boil the plan down to the details.
