Tsumi Kake Tensei Ryoushu no Kaikaku

Sola had a meeting with Gorge and Sania, Llu, with the members who had exchanged chaffs.

Maps of Count Sola's territory are spread out on the table, with maps of all the kingdoms on the walls.

The map of Count Sola's territory contained two colored stones, white and black.

Sania puts the black stone over the town where it says Zira.

"White, a town where black is home to the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce and many chambers of commerce that have been captured, is a town where there are many chambers of commerce that have been captured by Master Sola and the Woodora Chamber of Commerce."

Sola analyses the situation overlooking, while associating the Beecher from the white and black stones placed on the map.

─ ─ Lost far in large numbers of forces, politically distressed, geographically slightly disadvantaged, etc.

The Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce forms a cohesive force throughout the central part of Count Sola territory, with the area of power crossing Sola.

"Strange placement."

Chaff, who was looking at the map, frowned and dropped his words.

He took out the finger stick and indicated two points on the map, the northern and eastern villages of Count Sola.

Both are villages on Sola's side.

These two villages were built by Sola from the time of Viscount Lordship and developed by sending in a large number of refugees.

It serves as an important trading hub combining the territory of the Marquis of Beltze to the north and the warehouse of goods to be exported to Count Trinen to the east, respectively.

"In addition to these two villages, this incensed wood village, which is eating within the power zone of the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Federation, is arranged as if to monitor the export industry.... Sir Sola, how long have you been anticipating the present situation?

Sora grins at Chaff's focus. Unfortunately, the mask got in the way and Chaff didn't seem to understand.

"Unfortunately, we did not develop a village of incensed wood in anticipation of this situation. I was thinking about making that village a trading city."

"Don't you deny the warehouse?"

"In addition to serving as a watchdog for the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Federation, it was intended to serve as a hub for the establishment of a trading city."

While Sora was struggling with a shortage of talent assigned to a trading city, she was pushed ahead by the Zira Chamber of Commerce Federation.

Gorge gazes at the river on the map and opens his mouth as he hears the conversation between the two nobles.

"However, thanks to Master Sola's creation of the village, the placement of soldiers is easy. All major rivers can be seized."

Sania, sitting next to him, nodded at Gorge's words, pointing to the main river.

"Every river is used to transport goods, but with this arrangement, you can also grasp the trade. It might be hard to keep it in the warehouse for a while and make a dark deal."

Build a warehouse on the border with other territories to store the goods. The counterparty steals goods from the warehouse and smuggles them to other territories, and the Chamber of Commerce with the warehouse denies involvement by saying the goods were stolen.

Such methods also limit the weight of goods that can be transported even if there are warehouses far from other territories, making them difficult.

Sola was surrounding the Zira Chamber of Commerce coalition with her own forces so that her opponent could not move behind her whenever possible.

"But it's time for the limit."

Lulu looked around the map with cold eyes and squealed.

I guess you are referring to the reason for the visible representation of the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Union's sphere of power.

Sora turned her gaze to Gorge.

Gorge takes Sora's gaze and single-handedly speaks of the material Cor has compiled in advance.

"According to the materials, the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce hires mercenaries in the name of escorting merchandise, and there will be problems. Now it's only used to guard warehouses and ships, but some people seem to be frightened of the Zillah Chamber of Commerce coalition with armed private soldiers, and the vigilante will apply to reinforce their armaments."

Sora put her elbow on her desk and sighed.

I had been told beforehand that I was hiring mercenaries, but when I look at the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce force chart, it gets more serious.

Against the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce, which has a cohesive force in the centre, Sola has a force that circles the remote areas of the Count's territory.

Surround your enemies, but when you move your soldiers, they travel longer and take longer to align their forces.

The siege of an oligarchy works only if the enemy is small.

As it stands, they will only destroy each one.

Complaints had been received from various nobles, as every day, at Sola's.

For nothing is Sola the only aristocrat who is jeopardising the expansion of the Zira Chamber of Commerce Union.

Disband the Zira Chamber of Commerce Federation now. However, various nobles told me that they would not cooperate because they did not want His Majesty the King to stare at them.

A letter written in euphemistic terms has been received from the King at heart telling him to silence the existence of the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Federation.

Sola, who remains isolated, underfunded and understaffed, must contain the Zira Chamber of Commerce Coalition.

But, as Rhulu said, the limits were close.

Sora often silences herself.

A historical word had emerged from the memory of a previous life.

─ ─ The Hanza Alliance, huh?

The Hanza Alliance is an urban alliance in which a merchant guild called Hanza became a leading player in an imperial city that vowed to subordinate to the Emperor, uniting with the cities to monopolize trade.

Historically, he also broke Denmark and crusaded pirates threatening commercial routes.

But it was also possible because it united as an urban state and retained force.

No matter how many mercenaries the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce employs, they can be beaten before they grow to be that much of a threat.

The problem is that Sola was used for a blank period between her execution as a Viscount and her return as Count.

And Sola has very little retention power.

The Kleinsert Earl Army is being dissolved by the King during a blank period because corruption may not necessarily revolutionize violently.

A group of mercenaries that could be defeated if in other territories was also a clear threat in Count Sola territory.

Besides, the king nailed me not to get my hands on it, and I can't get support from other territories.

─ ─ Is the Zira Chamber of Commerce willing to assist the Royal Family with funds in return for its right to monopolize trade?

Now, it is not yet on a scale that we can assist the royal family with luxurious funds, but if we build strength in Count Sola's territory and enter other territories, it will be no longer a dream.

The royal family also has a weakened aristocracy and can take control of the economy through the Zillah Chamber of Commerce Federation.

─ ─ Instead of being isolated and helpless, if the royal family is a potential enemy... you've packed it.

Sola looks around together and secretly solidifies her resolve.

─ ─ We have no choice but to crush the Zira Chamber of Commerce Federation.

If so, and Sola shifted her gaze to Chaff.

Chaff has ties to Yellah, the deputy town official for Zillah.

Though there was something troubling about the person, I didn't know what it had to do with Sola because she didn't say anything.

─ ─ You need to know what Chaff thinks of Yella.

In some cases, it must be removed from the operational members.

Sola opened her mouth.

"Chaff, explore with me the relationship between the Zira Chamber of Commerce and the Royal Family."

"I don't mind because I want to know what Yella thinks, but can your majesty smoke me?

"I don't have a choice. Let's get in touch with His Highness, too. Whether or not it's the royal will to acquiesce to the Zira Federation of Chambers of Commerce will change the response."

No one challenged Sola's decision.

"This concludes the meeting"

Sola, who marked the end of the meeting, saw Sania and Rhulu.

"Sania, create a simple magic formation for me. Lulu asks you to prepare the bronze plate"

Sania and Rhulu tilted their necks in alignment at the abrupt request of Sola.

We look at each other, and as Lulu's gaze prompts us, Sania speaks of the doubt.

"Nothing, but what do you use it for?

"I need to try something."

Sora glances at Chaff and teases him.

─ ─ We just have to get ready.
