“Was there a reason why Mil came over here?”
At night, when we were alone, I asked him why Mil had come over.
I thought there was a trigger that made this phenomenon happen.
Mil thought about it for a while and …… suddenly started to hold her head.
“Ahhhh! That right …… I forgot the thing about reporting to the village chief about the situation ……”
“What situation?”
Mil answered.
“Well, we aren’t able to sense the beastmen settlements presence.. I came to check it out, but I only found out that only the people were missing from the village. They didn’t seem to have been attacked.”
“Oh …… that’s it. The werewolves have moved here.”
“There were quite a few werewolves, but all of them were from the original settlement?”
“Yes.”
I explained the process from the attack to the migration.
“I see …… I’ll have to report it to the village chief.”
“Are you going away again for a while?”
It had been a long time since we had seen each other, so it was complicated to think that we would be away from each other again for a few days.
Mil winked at me.
“─ Don’t worry, I’ll just broadcast a message at the entrance to the forest. If we have horses, we’ll leave in the morning and come back in the afternoon.”
I was relieved after hearing the explanation of the Spirit language.
(T/N: Changed words of the spirits to spirit language.)
“That’s good to know.”
Mil looked at me and smiled.
“Oh, you didn’t ask me about the principle of Spirit language.”
“Ah, you’re right. I guess the thought of being separated from you again was overwhelming me.”
“I don’t like that either. Well, is there anything I can do to help you with?”
I scratched my head.
“Well, I need you to be my secretary. I’m pretty busy at times.”
“Okay. I don’t know what kind of work you do, but …… I’m sure I’ll know it if we work together.”
“I’d appreciate it too if you could help me with my mental stability.”
Mil looked surprised.
“Are you saving that much?”
“No, everyone is …… expecting a hell of a lot from me. The more they expect, the heavier the pressure.”
“Then you can be vulnerable when we’re alone.”
“Yeah, thank you. And don’t hesitate to tell me if I’m about to do something wrong.”
Mil looked at me and smiled.
“I understand. But aren’t you raising the difficulty on yourself?”
“Ugh, that’s, well ……”
I’m starting to feel like I’m being dragged down by my ass, but …… that’s okay.
And then I thought to myself.
It is true that I understand how the wives and mistresses of powerful people have power.
At least in front of his subordinates, he can’t show his true colors that much.
If a woman asks them to do something for them in private, they tend to listen to them.
◆◇◆◇◆
The next day, I entrusted Mil to the knight and sent her off to the forest to report to the village chief.
And then I decided to start the next task.
As the population increases, we need to seriously consider disease control.
For now, we need to set up public bathrooms in the town.
The toilets are being installed along with the sewage system, but we need to hurry up with this as well.
It is too late if we do this before it is needed.
""
Politicians need to be able to build levees before floods occur.
Even if they are ridiculed.
If it reduces the damage, they can be ridiculed all they want.
There is also an urgent need for security.
We need to ask the beastmen for information about the other tribes.
I’ll ask Mil, who will be back this afternoon, about the area around our village as well.
Oracio growled.
“The werewolf tribe’s previous war with other tribes?”
“Another tribe is settling in the village where the werewolf tribe used to be. And there’s a good chance they’ll attack us.”
We have to take into account things like the Great Germanic Migration, which collapsed …… due to the barbarian’s heart-thickening condition.
I need to have a map of the surrounding area in my mind to plan my strategy.
However, since the area is surrounded by mountains, there will not be a large number of barbarians.
However, a war between other tribes would be inevitable.
Oracio pondered.
“It is true that …… the reason we attacked here in the first place was to take refuge from the attack of the beastmen’s further in.”
Mil raised her hand in a reserved manner.
“The hidden village was in the middle of nowhere, so there weren’t any tribes nearby. The elves have a small population, so they can get by in remote areas.”
I’ll have to check the situation for now.
“What kind of race was the beastmen that attacked you?”
Oracio folded his arms.
“The attackers were tiger, dog, and cat people.”
Oracio had an annoyed face.
“The tiger people control the dog people and the cat people …… they are powerful enemies. But I don’t know everything about this region either. I don’t even know if the tiger people are backed by anyone.”
“Does it feel like they’re holding you down with force?”
Oracio put his hand on his chin.
“You’re right. It seems to me that the purpose of this pressure is more than territorial.”
“What purpose?”
“A show of force. They say that the social status of a tiger people is determined by his strength on the battlefield.”
That’s true.
In primitive societies, war, as in the theory of war, is not an extension of politics.
It’s not uncommon for war to be an end in itself.
“Hmmm …… Are the dog people and the cat people treated as if they were sacrificial pawns?”
“Yeah. It did seem that way. I heard that they are weak, but there are so many of them that they can be replaced at will.”
“Is it possible that the reason why Oracio and the others were pressured in the first place was because you were outnumbered?”
“Yeah, we can’t be beaten in individual battles, but …… there’s too many of them.”
I was able to grasp the general situation.
“…… They probably won’t attack us any time soon. But it’s urgent to take precautions. Please give me information about them. If do not have any, please gather information by any means necessary.”
“I can tell you what kind of fight it is. Do you need more than that?”
“Yes …… It’s just a matter of taking them down. I won’t do anything like that. It goes against my principles, after all.”
Charles gave me a confirming look.
“My Lord, do you intend to bring the other beastmen into the fold?”
“Of course. If possible, I would like the elves from the hidden village to move here before they get into any danger.”
Mil shook his head.
“I think it will take some time, even with their strong distrust of humans. The village chief seems to be looking forward to it, though.”
“As for the elves, let’s leave them for a while. We need to know as much as we can about the beastmen in order to bring them into the fold.”
Oracio nodded his head.
“But, the lord shouldn’t have known much about us. And yet you still fought so well. Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?”
“No, that was just Sir Rossi being brilliant.”
""
Charles grinned.
“Well, my lord’s judgment was correct. He didn’t make fun of Oracio and his men at all, and he read their strategy as if they were his equal in wisdom.”
Even if you praise me, nothing will come of it.
Oracio also began to praise me.
“The way you fought was also the reason why we decided to join you. We thought it would be easier to protect the children if you were so strong. And I didn’t expect you to invite us after you defeated us. Maybe the others don’t know what the lord is thinking and are reluctant to make a move.”
Mil nodded.
“They might think that …… the fact that all the inhabitants of the village have disappeared may indicate that they are so strong that and has run away.”
I folded my arms.
“It’s possible …… It would be easiest if they gave up attacking us. Whatever the case, it will be difficult to come to any sudden conclusions.”
I looked at them all.
“Anyway, let’s gather some information. I’ll ask those who have information directly from them, and the information can be the child’s own trivial stories.”
A question mark seemed to appear on everyone’s head except mine.
One of these days, I’m going to have to lecture them on analyzing information.
The accumulation of knowledge also requires countermeasures against forgetting through the intervention of apostles.
