Chapter 40

Chapter 40: 40

Arrive at Castle Canale. It was easy to get by without being stopped by soldiers like the second time.\n

“Als, you’ve come a long way… sorry to hear about Raven… I’ve lost a spare man…”

County Chief Le Maire said so with a sinking face.

“My spare time mourning Raven’s death is the hard part I don’t have right now. As soon as the other Lords gather, we will begin a military debate.”

“Understood.”

Later, some time later, other lords climbed the castle. Sit back on the round table as before.

“First, we need to talk before we start the military debate. The other day, Lord Lamberg, Raven Lovent, fell ill and died. He was a talented man, more active than anyone else on the battlefield…”

The other two lords are not surprised because they already know the death of their father, but listen in the face of sinking pain.

“We don’t have time to be sad about Raven’s death. Keep fighting for the future of this canale, and it will be my condolences to Raven.”

Le Mail said so in a powerful tone. He urged me to stand up after that.

“You know, this Ars takes over after Raven and becomes the head of the Lovent family. Still a child but spiritually as fine as an adult. I will always do my duty as lord.”

Again Le Maire made my introduction. \nLooks like I should say something here, too.

“I’m Ars, the new lord. I’m a young man, but I want to do my best.”

Too normal a greeting, but it would be better than giving a weird greeting and getting hitched.

Those who were listening to my greeting begin to applaud. It stopped in a few dozen seconds and I sat down again.

“Then we begin the military debate. Raise your hand if you have any opinions. Don’t hesitate to say things that are off-target, because you won’t be angry or punished.”

That’s what Le Mail said.

Sounds like you’re willing to listen to your ministers as well as your lords.

Turn your gaze to Chilari and the Reeds.

Reetz nodded lightly as she and I met each other. It would be a signal to say anything.

Roselle was trying to hide behind Leeds.

Hi, Roselle. Looks like she’s activating an acquaintance. This is unlikely to be expected to give an opinion. \n“Shall we first elaborate on the current situation? Menace, I asked you.”

“Yes, sir.”

Le Mail left the explanation to his minister, Menace Leonard.

“Firstly, there is a lot of interaction between Clan and our house under the water. This time I did the marching because I had an arithmetic to win the battle. He says he has succeeded in reconciling four counties, including the current Mass, with a total of nine counties in the five counties on the south, and has signed a contract with the Maitro Mercenary Regiment, better known as Lowfile State, to retain enough fighting power and is sure to win”

Naturally, you’re doing quite a lot of things. My brother seems quite capable, too.

However, it would be exaggerated to say that winning is a certainty.

There will be no certainty in the war, and my brother will naturally not be trying to shut up.

“The only county on the west side, Perena County, has not responded to the adjustment. Perena County will be in a situation where they say they will be completely surrounded by enemies if they don’t get to the clan in terms of location, but they still don’t get to the clan and when they get to the basamark, they won’t change their claims. We have a life to lose in this Perena County manoeuvre, or in battle.”

Perena County is the county next to Canale and has been a place of constant skirmishes lately.

Then the tuning is difficult, then will it be dropped in battle?

“It may be difficult to adjust, but I’ve never been to drop it without fighting, so I’m going to try to adjust it first. So we’d like to ask you some ideas for a way out.”

\nAnd he’s been whining, gazing at me.

Are you telling me to suggest it, maybe?

I know it’s a little reetsy care to raise the ratings from the county superintendent to me, but honestly, it’s a little embarrassing to be dined on.

Well, shall we ride you here?

“How about hiring a mercenary regiment to gather information? I know the perfect mercenary regiment for this mission.”

“Mercenaries… once my minister also has someone who has an information-gathering role, unfortunately I can’t say I’m that smart. Is that mercenary regiment good?

When I looked at Chirali and Leeds, I was nodding. If Leeds says he has arms, at least he won’t be a pompous one. I replied yes.

“Then let’s leave the role of exploring the inside of the Perena County Sheriff’s house to the Lord. However, if you can’t hire a mercenary regiment, or if the mercenary regiment turns out to be an untrustworthy bunch of people, you’re coming to report that you failed immediately. Failure is not a sin, but keeping it quiet is a sin.”

“Understood.”

Don’t say something pretty good about this guy.

I had men in my previous life, but I have the greatest difficulty in failing and being silent.

The military council opened once, and I left the castle to meet Shadow.
