The town was on alert as the knights went out to guard the dog people.

There is also the strategy to catch them off guard and attack them with ambushes.

However, it is impossible to do so if you are not trained.

 

Reduce the damage, even if only a little.

As a leader, this principle is non-negotiable.

You’re happy with your plan, but you’re doing more damage.

I don’t have such a hobby.

 

I’ve entrusted Robert with the command of the defense.

It’s a fool’s errand to make people aware of two people’s instructions when they need to make an immediate decision.

 

I’m staying in the house to keep my mouth shut.

I don’t want Jules, who is in the habit of guarding me, to be bothered by me wandering around.

I told him that until the battle is over, I would not pay any attention to the mansion so he should concentrate on defense.

That’s what I told him.

 

As a supervisor, I’ve said I’ll leave it to you, so I’m going to give you the authority.

I will take full responsibility for any problems that may arise.

But it’s not unprincipled.

 

This does not apply to deviations from delegated authority.

If your main task is to defend, but you neglect defense and cause damage because you’re preoccupied with pursuit.

Furthermore, blaming your subordinates for your own errors in judgment.

These are punishable.

 

This was the method of operation advocated by Charles’ faction during the unfavorable times.

I approved it and made it an official rule of the Ravenna Knights’ code of operation.

Above all, this code will have no effect unless I comply with it the most.

 

I had the feeling that there was a debate in ancient China about whether it be the king or the law.

Should the king obey the law, or is the king outside the law?

 

The rule of man is a story that can only be told in traditional China.

I don’t remember the official source.

 

It may have been a fictional story.

 

I think it was about the First Emperor and Han Feizi …… Han Feizi was a distant cause of suicide by poisoning.

Han Feizi, who advocated the perfection of the rule of law theory, said

“Even a king should obey the law.”

The first emperor, who considered the rule of law to be a tool of governance, said.

“The law is for the subjects to obey. Why should I, the supreme authority, obey anything?”

 

I think it was something like that.

 

If everyone doesn’t obey, the theory falls apart.

You’re supposed to be the most powerful, but if you follow something, you’re not the most powerful.

 

That’s the difference between a theorist and someone who uses theory as a tool.

I was just a commoner before I was reincarnated, and the theory of the rule of law makes sense to me.

And when I lived as an aristocrat, I realized that it was much more difficult.

 

In my previous life, I was forced to obey the law.

If you broke them, you will almost certainly be punished.

 

Now, I have to obey the law by myself.

Worst of all, you won’t be punished even if you don’t obey them.

 

The repercussions will come, but they will not be immediate.

How difficult it is to discipline oneself.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

When I’m not busy defending myself and staying in my house, I tend to think about things.

In fact, I’m not just holed up in the house.

 

It was in the mansion that I met with the cat people.

And there are not that many buildings.

They’ll take advantage of the gap in the battle to target me, the leader in the mansion.

 

It’s possible.

There was also the idea of evacuating to another building.

If I did that, my whereabouts would be unknown.

If that happened, there was a possibility that they would attack a suitable building.

As a result, the citizens would be harmed.

 

In the worst-case scenario, they could set a fire and flush me out.

I decided to make my whereabouts clear.

 

When I had enough time to defend myself, I could quickly go to the rescue.

That was one of the advantages.

""

 

At the very least, I might just want to make excuses for the damage by taking on the risk.

However, I was not going to stay in the house without a plan.

 

I wanted to evacuate Kiara to another place, but she would never shake her head.

 

I couldn’t afford to waste time on an argument that had a foregone conclusion.

So, I asked them both to stay in the mansion.

 

Kiara is wearing pants, not a dress, to make her look more mobile.

She usually wears her long hair hanging down, but now it is tied up so that it does not interfere with her movements.

She also has several daggers wrapped around her belt on her left and right thighs.

 

I asked Kiara why.

 

“Long swords are a hindrance in a room.”

 

She looked so cool and calm.

I wondered if it was because she had memories of her previous life.

 

I’ve asked Mil to do a special mission for me.

The chief of the elven village can search the forest for signs of life.

The main thing they can look for is the presence and movement of creatures.

 

When I heard what the theory was, I had an idea.

 

You have to live in the forest for a long time to be able to do this.

You have to be in contact with the forest and gradually increase your connection with the trees.

I heard that’s what gives you the power of sensing.

 

I had a conversation with Mil about this.

 

“If it’s not a tree, can it be a plant?”

 

“Yes. I guess so  …… but the range and accuracy of the detection depends on the size of the plant. So trees are the best.”

 

If that’s the case …… I’ll grow a plant about a meter tall in a flowerpot.

Place them inside and outside the compound.

Ostensibly, it is ornamental.

In reality, it is a surveillance radar.

 

I asked Mil to take care of the plant and grow the connection.

Apparently, the plants can tell who was taking care of them.

She will also find out where the plants are most likely to connect with each other and decide on their placement.

 

Some of the plants were placed in strange places because I gave top priority to their connection.

Since I’m known as a weirdo, I’ve decided to pretend that it’s the lord’s hobby.

 

Mil is in charge of spotting the entire house.

 

She can detect if anything strange that will sneak into the house.

When I told Mil about this idea, she looked at me in astonishment.

 

“No one had ever thought of such a thing before.”

 

But she gladly agreed.

 

This is actually a top-secret matter that only …… Me, Mil, Kiara, Charles, Robert, and Jules know about.

 

I’ve asked them to be on alert and to sense the battle when it starts.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the energy.

 

In such a state of alert, there was an attack on the second day.

It has begun ……
