The night of the shocking interview.
Returning to the capital, I had a nightmare that the entire rabbit tribe had turned macho.
We were greeted by a single line of people, posing in a row.
It’s just a dream ……
It must be.
And I have to go home.
The march will be slow because the capital will include Prytanis’ people.
There are not enough wagons, of course, so healthy adults will be on foot.
Therefore, it will be a march with breaks in between.
The roads were paved and flat, so travel was relatively smooth.
However, the distance between forts was a bit far.
""
From my knowledge before my reincarnation, I remembered that the limit for horse-drawn wagons was about 190 km.
Based on this, we are planning the construction of the fort.
The population is not that large, so we have to squeeze in just barely.
Still, I had the forts built with as much leeway as possible, so that the distance between each would be within 100 km.
We should fill the middle more.
It would be possible because the population has grown all at once.
And we need to think about the disadvantages of increased territory and how to counter them.
As a result of the increase in territory, the necessary defense force will also increase.
As for that, we are in the process of constructing the most efficient defensive system possible.
Since the boundary between Dorius territory and the demon tribe is unclear, we cannot build an earthwork.
With reference to Limes Germanicus, we are repairing the existing fortifications.
We will build a base to connect the two, and create a network of roads to increase the speed of the army’s arrival.
This will do for the time being.
The borders are not set in stone.
Furthermore, there is a time lag in the transmission of information due to distance.
Dorius compensated for this by using beastmen as familiars.
I cannot use that method.
However, there is a high possibility that they would willingly offer to do so to show his loyalty.
Unlike us, there is not so much a sense of avoidance.
But if we allow it to happen, the scope will expand more and more.
We have to think of an alternative.
I need to gather more information about the demon tribe.
We confirmed this when Prytanis defected, but we have never actually fought them.
Therefore, we do not know how they fight.
Should we check again with Miss Kriemhild ……
I then stopped thinking and looked up, and my eyes met with Prytanis.
“Lord Alfred. What were you thinking about this time?”
“Directly, I guess, about the next battle.”
“You mean, it doesn’t stop there. I for one am looking forward to the Wise man’s showdown.”
I looked as annoyed as I could.
“I’m not a wise man. I don’t feel like appealing to myself as a superior person.”
The grumpiness is like taking it out on someone.
Looking at the wise men in the light novels and wondered what a wise man was in the first place.
The image I have in my mind is of a wise person or a thinker.
When a problem arises, they do not solve it in a forceful and violent manner.
Even if they have power, they solve problems with as little use of it as possible.
The wise man in the light novel ……
In other words, the light wise man solves things violently and superficially with his strong power.
And the people around him praise him as a wise man ……
Such a sickening image has become ingrained in me.
I have no intention of becoming such a clown.
I know you are not calling me that with such an image, but ……
I don’t like what I don’t like.
Then, the Demon King would be much better.
At my words, Prytanis laughed bitterly.
“I think it’s amazing how prepared and careful you are. But I can’t imagine Lord Alfred boasting about it, being praised by everyone around him. Well …… no matter how much Lord Alfred denies it. The other party will see you as a rival on their own.”
What a nuisance ……
“I’d like to say that I’ve had enough rivals. I wouldn’t want to go to war for that reason.”
Prytanis twitched the edges of his lips a little.
“But you don’t have a choice, Lord Alfred. The wise man considers himself as the smartest man in Ravenna. Since Lord Alfred’s arrival, he’s been in a state of anxiety. Before that, he had recognized Madam Magali as his rival. But she didn’t take him seriously, though.”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I pictured the disgusted look on that ill-natured grandma Magali’s face.
“That can’t be. Are you saying that Ms. Plunkett knows about the wise man too?”
“Yes. When the wise man is not taken seriously, he says, ‘It’s because she’s an old woman and has lost her ambitions”. Then someone presumably younger than him appeared and beat Madam Magali. He’s feeling a sense of rivalry with you on his own.”
Wait ……
What do you mean, “presumably younger”?
“I’m 17 ……”
Prytanis wagged his finger from side to side and said, tch tch tch.
“You’ve long since turned 18. You forget your own birthday, so you don’t look your age. Even I remember my birthday.”
What …… it’s already my birthday ……………….
Ah …… it’s already past that.
I look at them with a faraway look.
“I’ve been busy. I can’t be so obsessive about such trivial things. It’s only one day in the year ……”
“You’re going back to those who think it’s important, though …… I’m glad you didn’t get retorted. You owe me one.”
Why.
My birthday doesn’t matter.
I don’t mean to underestimate the wise man who may be my future enemy, but there is no sign that he is that dangerous.
Maybe he is a self-produced genius ……
My attention was focused on something else.
