200 Episode 195: Day 12: A debrief after dinner. (Combat report and the formation of the Elvis family. ）

"Well, the perfect place, Takeo, Alice, I've had a rough day.

Grandpa Elvis labors the two of them.

"Thank you, Grandpa.

"Thank you, Mr. Elvis.

Other faces snort.

"Takeo's little gun looks good.

"Right, Mr. Alan. I managed to use it in action.

It's just... this time I was blessed with the power and luck of a small gun.

"Really?

William asks Takeo what he thinks.

"Yeah. You didn't run out to the critical that Auga was softer than you thought.

"You did walk long enough in front of me.

"... auga... no. Is that what demons are for?

"No... you must be close to the beast.

I hear they make flocks in small numbers and if they see their prey, they attack them... "

King Azpar is troubled.

"In the battle against the demonic kingdom?

"It's pretty dominant... but if the battle starts, assault battles are the main thing.

I've never heard you walk so much.

Besides, there are no reports that the demon kingdom was supporting the war.

This raid with you unprepared for war... don't get caught up a bit.

"... well, that would be good if the Wang Du decided.

I'm glad you didn't have any victims now.

"Right.

And the tactics of Takeo and the recovery tactics of the soldier chief... you did well.

King Azpar says happily.

"It worked... good.

Takeo laughs bitterly.

"How much did Mr. Takeo envisage?

William asks about the casualties.

"... 30% of the recruit platoon... 10% of the Knights and soldiers...

I assumed a minimum of 80 people.

"Well... were you ready?

"Yes... people die on their orders... and I had a decent imagination of that.

Including cursing from survivors after the battle.

"But, gentlemen, don't you understand?

It's a defense of the city.

... that dying for the city is an honor... that we have no choice.

Smith boy says what he thinks.

Takeo thinks with a difficult face.

"... Smith boy, that's a governor's delusion.

It is the responsibility of the person who gave the order that the soldier dies for whatever reason fits.

Don't let your eyes slip away from it.

Of the kingdom of Azpur... dying for the Elvis family is an honor...

... It's rare that people want to die in honor.

For the sake of the country, for the sake of the city... do not let those who stand above people get drunk on comforting themselves without seeing reality.

You mustn't trump it with words that you have no choice.

I'm fine, glad to hear you say you're okay... what's the point of comforting yourself with those words?

Responsibility for all those who lost their lives in the war is borne by those who ordered it.

And we just have to take all the wishes of those who are dying... those who are coming after us from behind and move forward step by step.

Moving away from reality doesn't change anything.

If the hard reality is a wall in front of you, you just have to get over the wall, if you can't get over it, you can turn from side to side, you can go in different directions.

But you can't pretend not to see it.

If you can't see reality, you don't qualify as a governor.

You should return your territory to your country now.

Excuse me, I'm going to chill my head a little.

Takeo tries to get out of his seat.

"Well, take your time.

King Azpar speaks to Takeo.

"Excuse me."

Takeo did not look back and left.

Seven were left in the guest room: Grandpa Elvis and Alice, Smith, Frederick, King Azpar, William and Leila.

Frederick was serving tea to everyone.

"Smith, I'm glad Mr. Takeo said it now.

Leila says over a cup of tea.

"Yes... but..."

Smith leans down.

"No, no, that, but Mr. Takeo was kind enough to say it.

Don't be absurd in your tone... like you teach.

William speaks gently.

"Count, how the Elvis family is ruling Elvis territory...

If you don't tell me a little more about what that means, don't let it leave its roots in the future.

"Ha! Thanks for the advice.

"It will drive the people and ministers to their places of death, bound with pride...

History proves it in other countries, in your own country.

That's what William adds.

"Mm-hmm. So do we take our seats off, both of our sons and their wives?

King Azpar and William, Leila, are also leaving.

"Phew... Smith, Alice, listen carefully.

What is the Elvis family in the first place?

The first generation worshipped the land from the then king of Azpur, entered to protect the kingdom from the Dwarves, the demon kingdom, and stretched the streets to form a stronghold... that's what made the Elvis family.

The first thing the first generation did was know the land.

He said he walked in the realm and thought about what it would take for people to be happy.

What do you mean people will be happy?

... It got to the idea that there was enough wheat to fill the belly, and the first generation said they encouraged opening and slightly revamped taxes compared to half of the harvest and other territories.

The people who were suffering from heavy taxes rejoiced, glorified and admired the first generation.

That's why people gather in the Elvis family, inspire people to gather and start developing.

I mean, the Elvis family is the Elvis family because people admitted to being the Elvis family.

The Elvis family is not where the people are. The people will recognize us and support us so we can stay at the Elvis house.

If you mistake our name as the Elvis family for something special, it will one day snap its own neck.

Don't make a mistake. We are staying in the Elvis family because the people are there, and there are soldiers and civilians to help us, and we are supported by them.

"... yes.

Smith answers in a whisper.

Alice only snorts.

"Mm-hmm. Okay, Smith, you know what?

"Yes. I'm going to apologize to Master Takeo.
