2305 Lesson 2289: Royal Meeting. (Rejecting horses was a kind of obstacle.)

King Azpar's office, where Takeo and the others left.

"Excuse me."

"Um... sorry I'm late at night."

“No, there's no problem.”

"Yes, no problem."

"Excuse me."

William, Alma, Layla, and Erica are coming under King Azpar.

"Hmm... I've got a chair.

Please sit properly. "

"" "Yes." ""

Williams and the others sat down.

"Well... did William tell you?"

Yes, it's about the war in the territory of Count Godwin.

Alma says.

“Well, just in case, Count Godwin's wife, Jesse, asks to go home to Elvis.”

"Yes, it's a boy, so I think we should consider it just in case."

Leila says.

"Hmm, I thought it would be okay because Alice is here, but I guess I can't fight because Alice is pregnant."

That's why we're sending Amy and Erica.

Erica will be accompanying Amy on a tour of the region and a preliminary meeting with those who will be working for the Elvis family next year. ”

You're sending a spirit magician.

"Ah, there was a raid last time."

It might happen again, but if Alice can't make it out, we'll have to put in the right amount of power.

... I can't move the Knights at this stage, and I don't want to stimulate the Demon Kingdom by using my fighting power poorly.

Amy and Erica will use the Elvis house well.

Erica, please tell me about Amy and the others. "

“Yes, I understand.

By the way, how much information is collected in the war against the Demon Kingdom? ”

Erica asks.

"... um..."

King Azpar looks up at the ceiling of the office.

"Um..."

Erica is a little anxious.

"No... information..."

Hmm... I don't know.

Alma and Leila are at home, and Erica is going to Elvis.

You should know that.

But from now on, you're not allowed to talk until I give you my permission.

If you've left this room one step, don't say anything.

This is the command of a king. "

"" Yes. ""

Alma, Layla, and Erica reply.

Hmmm.

Elvis and Takeo reported it to me.

It will be information only for this war, but it will be quite a lot.

In my personal opinion, Elvis and Takeo are doing well.

So, let's talk about what this war is all about. ”

King Azpar was going to tell the four of them.

------------------------

In Takeo's room.

Mia and Ku are sleeping in a children's bed that has been converted into a private bed.

Takeo, Gina, Smith, and I drank tea during the season.

"... Gina, I'm shocked by the war."

"Yes, 6,000 gold pieces... it was said to be three platoons, but it wasn't three times as much."

"Research costs have also increased... but nothing has been achieved..."

I think I fought quite a bit. "

"His Majesty said that, but I had to think of it as a sign of expectation."

Are you likely to achieve results? ”

"Hmmm... it seems that I can't get rid of the original just by using my inventive shield."

Ah, by the way, did your Majesty ask you to develop a shield that has the strength to withstand even if an automatic doll (automata) of the size of an auger of the Katranda Empire comes in?

It might be better to start this early. ”

Takeshi says while thinking about it.

... Master, what are you talking about?

It's a request to develop a shield that won't break even if something big comes in.

"Isn't that too... impossible?"

Gina said in amazement.

"Hmm... if it's easy to think about it, it won't be difficult if it's simply a shield that can't be broken."

Is that so?

"Yes, but it's not easy to carry around, and the wall will be thicker than a shield."

And even if you achieve satisfactory ruggedness with the size of your shield now, you will not be able to withstand the impact of the soldiers who support it. "

Takeshi says with a bitter smile.

"... that means, takeo-sama, if the shield is sturdy and there is some kind of support that can withstand the impact of a large object coming in, can it be used?"

Smith will tell you.

"That's right... but at that point, not with a shield, but with a barricade...

Hmm? In the first place, the difference between an obstacle and a shield is about whether they are installed or portable.

Gina, what do you think? "

"I don't know what an obstacle your husband is talking about, but if it refers to a shield that is as thick as a wall that can't be carried around earlier, then that's right."

Gina says.

"The main purpose of the shield is to defend against direct attacks by enemy swords."

If the main purpose of an obstacle is to defend against enemy projectiles... it is good to endure even if an automatic doll (automata) pushes in, and it is more difficult to carry than a shield, but it is good if it can be deployed immediately to a certain extent.

Obstacles may be more meaningful than shields, especially when it comes to protecting your territory. ”

"Well... that may be true."

"I'm going to prototype a rejecting horse with the Elvis family this time... this is also a kind of obstacle."

Isn't it rather a type of obstacle?

Do I need the results of the experiment? ”

Takeshi thinks.

Master?

Takeo-sama?

Gina and Smith gave a strange look.

"Hmm?

Oh, I'm fine.

I just thought there would be a little bit more reporting to His Majesty after this war. ”

Takeshi was keen to say.
