Babington and Alderson have a normal meal in a regular tavern.
The seats around... well, the Knights will be around at some point.
"... how's the territory running?
"Thank you. It's just... it's just not enough.
People, things, money, time. You're missing everything.
I'm sorry that the exam platoons at the lab did something different than their practice.
"There's no problem, and you won't be able to help there.
Less than 500 men have gathered... and not enough soldiers.
It is said that the degree of patrolling each town and village is part of the training and geographic grasp in nominal terms.
Well... I have sympathy.
(i) A civilian has territory overnight. Soon the territory will be thrown in with a destination.
"... His Highness William, as long as you have a one-year respite and envy...
I guess that's because your highnesses.
"You can't deny it.
Besides, His Highness will not be able to prepare a civilian rooted in the land.
Even if they were able to do so, they were sent by the current Wang Capital.
In terms of talent, the directors must be smart... but there's no one who can actually work.
"Yeah. Am I still blessed in that respect?
Civilian personnel have been replenished by His Highness Neil and the Viscount Ashton family, and thanks to the legend of exam platoon personnel, soldiers have been gathered from noble territories other than the demonic kingdom and the king's capital.
"Are you blessed?
All I can see is that it's stuck... "
"That's enough for you.
Civilians can accommodate supplies by entering from adjacent territories, and by putting in each soldier to patrol and gather towns, villages and towns (...) that do not belong to any nobleman can be created.
Containment and verification of each other is mandatory.
"... I've received reports that soldiers were beating each other up..."
"You can't breathe around there, can you?
I can't imagine what should have happened.
Babington is having a pale dinner while he is there.
"... well... whatever I say... I can see why His Highness Cliff recommended you.
It ripens well.
If you look at your current judgment, you can ask me if I would have worked in a civilian capacity.
"Really? I'm just judging normally.
I know exactly why you were recommended by His Highness Neil. You seem to be very good at understanding people.
The soldiers and the Knights will not refuse your order.
With that said, I asked our Knights Commander, did he compete in the competition in front of Wang Du?
"It was a long time ago. I didn't win eventually, though.
"I hear you ate to the top.
"... let's just say the difference with the top wasn't hard enough.
But it still seems to be the highest place in the region from the Knights.
"That would be enough.
It's a good thing that that fame still strikes the soldiers.
"It's also a question of how long such a title will work...
I don't know if the backwards are truthful or if I'm good.
"At least I'm sure you and I are better than certain.
Besides, our sync is full of brilliant people.
The new nobles of Wang Du... are the ones whose names come up when you look at the documents of the past.
The newest would be Lord Kitamizato.
"... battle report or...
You were so calm that you didn't actually think you'd accomplished it when you met him.
"I guess. I guess that's why I became a nobleman.
Besides, I got a report from Wang Du this morning.
Babington takes the paperwork out of his nostalgia and puts it in front of Alderson.
"... ah. You came this morning.
Lord Babington. How do you see this?
Alderson pushes the papers back to Babylton.
"Hmm... it would be living information that Lord Kitamizato saw, heard and acted upon in the Wilip Union.
Will the King's Capital move that Lord Alderson has also been notified?
Babington gets paperwork in his nostalgia.
"That's what I was talking about.
... Lord Babington. Will you make it?
"Five years later... no. If we need a prep period, we'll have to put the territory's operations on track within three years.
It's going to be hard as it is.
"Right.
I don't know what we're going to do with the tactics either... but I guess Babington's back there.
"We can scratch up to a thousand marches... even if we can do it, it must be elephant.
I think it's more important to train the 500 people who are here... 1000 people.
Babington lifts the wine glass up and says as he looks at the wine.
"... Lord Babington. How many days do you think we can move this territory when we move 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers from Viscount Ashton territory to His Highness Neil's?
"... soldier... on foot as well... is it the 9th?
Horse-riding alone would be a small number, so I would estimate two days.
"I see.
Will that be the opinion of those of civilian origin?
Alderson nods at Babington's answer.
"Different?
"Ah.
I've hardly ever actually moved 5,000 people on the largest scale.
On the part of the Katlanda Empire, there are only records of two nobles travelling towards the border, 1,500 His Highness, 2,000 towards the border and 500 His Highness, and 1,000 and 3,000 on the part of the demonic kingdom, on the part of the Union of Wilip.
It's also in a state where we know (...) when to start beforehand.
"... I did base my march to Viscount Ashton's territory on 5,000 people when they said...
How many days did Lord Alderson have?
"As it stands, 11 days to move around this territory. Two days for horseback riding only.
This is under the sweet thought that we all wish we could stay calm.
"... that the battlefield is different from the battlefield?
"Those who are distracted or discouraged... can all assume a drop in morale.
It may take more when it does.
"... Implement tactical considerations for a single research test platoon as soon as possible to raise the worst report.
I guess all we can do here is improve the streets and cook them out.
One effective way to prevent morale loss is not to worry about food.
We have to have more reserves.
"Right.
Let's work on it as soon as we have a building after April.
"Yeah. Please.
Babington and Alderson ate while making a difficult face.
