I commenced the operation to exterminate all the wild boars and entrusted everything to Charles.

I asked Teacher to accompany them to gather information as well.

 

Originally, I would have liked to go and gather information myself, but there was so much to do before the war.

In preparation for the coming battle, we have built several forts and are accumulating supplies there.

One of them is the site of the former settlement of the wolf tribe.

 

The road has been laid out in a straight line, so it used to take an adult a day to get there, but now it can be cut down to about three-fifths.

 

At the same time, the old people of the wolf tribe wished to die in the place where they were born.

The fort is a campsite, shaped like a small town, so I’ll ask them to help us manage a simple fort.

Accompanied by Mr. Aaron, about twenty elderly or pre-senile wolf tribesmen headed for the fort.

 

After seeing them off, Oracio gave me a deep bow.

 

“I thank you, my lord, for granting the wishes of the old men.”

 

“The future war is fixed. That’s why I was so worried.”

 

“I explained it to them, and they still wished for it. I’ve had my share of conflict and I’m prepared for it.”

 

“However, I’ll make sure that their attack won’t make it that far.”

 

Oracio nodded and then left.

He must have a lot of work to do.

 

My escort, Ramiro Rio, thanked me, but I just waved him off and told him he didn’t need to thank me.

 

Safety is my top priority ……

I couldn’t refuse the old people’s earnest request.

Before I was reincarnated, I had been a grandmother’s child, so I’m vulnerable to the earnest wishes of the elderly.

 

Unlike the time of the plague prevention measures, I had a plan to prevent the attackers from going that far, so I allowed it.

In fact, I wanted to wait until after the war was over ……

 

However, one day, one of the old men suddenly passed away.

I guess that drove the old people to become impatient.

 

I can’t be consistent either, I thought to myself.

I can’t say anything great about it.

 

Changing my mood, I went outside to visit Onyxim’s workshop.

It’s also a hangout for curious children.

It’s okay if they’re having fun.

 

But I had to be very careful not to soak the kids in vodka.

 

“Oh, milord.”

 

Onyxim raised his hand, but …… quickly returned his attention to the weapon he was developing.

 

The request was for a repeating crossbow.

In medieval Europe, there were crossbows, but not repeating crossbows.

 

However, it existed in ancient China, so it is feasible even with the technology of this era.

And above all, unlike longbows, it is easy to train.

 

To put it bluntly, if a longbow archer is killed or injured in battle, the strength of the force is greatly reduced.

However, the repeating crossbow can be quickly replaced, so it is difficult to lose strength.


 

 

In World War II, Japan relied on master craftsmanship, but the U.S. prevented the decline in strength by automating the process.

I’ll learn from anything if I can reduce my casualties, even if it’s a copy.

 

“You seem to be having trouble.”

 

“Yeah, the rapid-fire mechanism …… I feel like I’m almost there. But there’s one problem with making it happen.”

 

“What’s that?”

 

“The arrows need to be uniform in size. I can’t get that far. Do you have any ideas?”

 

Well done, we’ve arrived at a common standard.

Onyxim is good at what he does, but if we stop accepting things without thinking about them, there is potential for everyone ……

 

“Let’s see if we can find a rabbit tribesman who is good with their hands and can make many things. I’m sure they’ll do a great job.”

 

“I’ll leave it to you. It’s too dangerous to leave it to a child, after all ……”

 

“Instead of arrows, why don’t you think of a mechanism to shoot round clay-like objects in rapid succession? You might come up with some good ideas.”

 

Onyxim’s face showed that he had noticed the blind spot.

 

“I’m sure you’re right …… As I thought, If we get stuck, we should talk to the lord.”

 

“There’s also something else I need to ask the engineer.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“The current long spear is two meters long, right? I need one that is four meters long. About six hundred of them.”


 

 

Onyxim spurts out.

 

“Don’t suddenly start talking outrageous things. I’ll talk to them, but …… Anyway, we’re short on manpower.”

 

“I’ll get you some of those rabbit tribesmen who are bored and emotionally unstable.”

 

“All right, I’ll leave it to you.”

 

In case we ask the Rabbit Tribe, it would the chief’s if it’s the other tribes ……

There is some kind of strange territory, and if I don’t talk to Ms. Adelaida, who came first, there will be trouble ……

I don’t want to start any trouble right now, so I’ll just follow the custom.

 

Then I headed to the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

 

Just then, I found Ms. Adelaida, who was working with some documents.

At first, Adelaida couldn’t read or write.

 

However, the administrative forms are simplified as much as possible, and if there are any unclear points, they ask for verbal confirmation.

Even though Adelaida’s level of reading and writing has only just begun to improve, she is getting by.

She’s been studying hard and improving fast, but ……

She’s definitely not fit as a good teacher.

I’m sure she wouldn’t be good at making flexible changes to suit the children.

 

The system around here is a model case that was painstakingly created by Umberto Orengo, who was forced to become a minister from an ordinary person.

 

“Ms. Adelaida, I have a request.”

 

She was working with the documents, but her ears perked up when she heard my voice.

 

When I asked for a request, she looked happy.

If I ask her too much …… she’ll probably work until she dies of exhaustion.

 

“What can I do for you, my lord!”

 

“Yes, we’re looking for a dexterous rabbit tribesman to help us develop weapons for the Ministry of Science and Technology.”

 

“How many people do you need?”

 

“How many people do you have available now?”

 

“About thirty!”

 

Thirty emotionally unstable rabbit people …… Let’s get it over with quickly.

Because of the large population, we were not able to assign people to specific jobs.

 

It seems to be stressful for the rabbit tribesmen if they’re put it as temporary help when short on manpower.

It seems that the rabbit people are stressed when they have to devote themselves to a certain task.

 

It would certainly be difficult for them to get along with the other tribes.

Some of them may be fine with it, but …… those who are will probably become adventurers and leave.

 

“Then send all of them to Mr. Arensky’s Science and Technology Department. If they wish and are suitable for it, they will be officially affiliated.”

 

“Yes! I’ll go tell them right away!”

 

She said and started running quickly.

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a remote region …… but all women are powerful.
