Chapter 67 War Economy 1

Marquis Icebringer and Earl Bozes went back to their territories, along with the prisoners of war .

But unlike the way they got here, the return trip is very long because there are prisoners walking . If the Earl starts his journey from the morning, he can reach his territory by nightfall, but in the case of the Marquis…

Well…, It’s just awful……

Oh, you can just leave the prisoners to your subordinates, so that you can quickly return? Is that so?!

But it seems that the Marquis has departed on time .

Oh, actually, the next invasion from the Kingdom of Vanel is not so scary, as long as I’m alive .

First of all, it’s not going to be a sudden attack . In this case, it will be the purpose of investigation of several ships . That is, if the commander is not a strange person .

Anyway, because it’s unclear whether the reason for the missing fleet’s demise was due to the unforeseen disaster, destruction by an enemy ship or water and food shortage .

And also, it will be several months before the expedition fleet comes back home and reports to the country .

This time it is several months to send the messenger of the country and several months to return .

There is a bit of room to talk about slavery or fighting .

If the fleet becomes unknown due to [any unfortunate accident],

there will be talks like,

[Diplomatic missions? You’re not coming, are you? I wonder whether he was distressed by storm or something . . That’s too bad…… . ]

Yea, something like that . .

Then we can even afford more time .

The distance is the largest barrier, yeah .

Like this time, [I don’t know what happened to the other party,] as a way to clearly realize the loss .

After that, even if it comes to fighting, there are still a lot of methods like:

[Metastasis Bombardment . ]

When the enemy ships are ready to fire, the trajectory of the cannons will be transferred towards the other side of the enemy ships .

Then, repeat . (Repiito . )

[Dive Bombing . ]

Transfers the cannon ball to the sky above the enemy ship and let it fall . (aka . Raining Cannon Ball)

Cannonballs, glowing in red, can cause a fire inside the ship .

Also, instead of cannonballs, use potted jar, put oil in, cover with cloth, lit on fire . (Early Molotov Cocktail . )

It’s just a big sailboat, so the sails, and the hull will be wrapped in flames .

[Such A Mysterious Sinking . ]

Continuously bring a large amount of seawater directly into the bottom of the ship to see [how long can it last] .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

Or take away big a part of the bottom of the ship to see [how long can it last] .

There are a lot of ways to do this, but well whatever…

As an ultimate means, there is also a way to ask a country somewhere back on earth, to send out a small ship loaded with a Minigun . (or a Vulcan . )

If you give him a dead body of a goblin or an orc, you will receive a fun cruise for a few hours .

No, it should really be, the last, last resort though .

………………………… . .

The only problem is, if I’m not there…

After the stunning display; death, severe injury, serious illness, and so on, cannot be transferred .

In that case, build a new warship and prepare a weapon that is superior to the enemy?

But then, it would probably be too early for the artillery with explosive shell . The enemy is currently on the smooth-bore gun and cannon with spherical munition .

I guess for the gun would be a Minié rifle . It’s a high-performance gun that uses a conical-cylindrical bullet, it also has riffling for better accuracy, it’s completely different from it’s predecessor .

Yeah, Breech-loading weapon is still too early .

This is form the net with the thread, [Everyone Please Help! The Chronicles of the Viscount’s Territorial Management . ]

It’s so unfair… Because it’s a real war, a tale of killing people .

I am afraid of being drawn to it, but on the contrary it is also scary that a war-maniac will make a great suggestion to strike .

Just think what a murder can do in this world . Because in here, it’s not really against the law . Otherwise you will only be killed .

I also killed people in this world . No matter how much I read a lot of hard-boiled novels, or how much I watched a lot of war dramas, never in my whole life, have I expected that I would really kill people .

But this is the kind of world that she’s in . The definition of legitimate defense is interpreted extensively compared to the earth, a legitimate world .

So in this sense, as if to slander the back of the hands of a molester, I will get back at the thieves that attack them . ( だからここでは、痴漢の手の甲を抓るような感覚で、襲ってくる盗賊を返り討ちにする。)

But that is because she’s in this world, she doesn’t intend to give the people who lives in earth, an inspiration or a fantasy to kill people .

She invited everyone to talk about helping others and boosting the economy .

My dark side is enough for me . (TN: Darth Loli LOL)

========================

Mitsuha: 「I want to build a harbor . 」

「「「「Eh?…」」」」

In my sudden words, the people of the fishing village made a surprise face .

Village Chief: 「Ano~, Mitsuha-sama, what do you mean…… . 」

The face of the village chief, looks uneasy .

Mitsuha: 「No, I’d like to keep a ship that is anchored at offshore until the port at the Bozes territory is completed, and I need a mooring place for the boat that will go a round trip from here and the port of Boses territory, that’s why I want to build it . Ah, the construction is not a free service role, I will pay for it properly and most of the construction will be done here, so everyone else will only be able to help with the preparation of the final phase . Also, I wanted to ask if it would be convenient for everyone if I built a pier and where……」

The villagers suddenly have sparkling eyes .

It’s cash, you know .

I wonder if the dock should be a floating dock . It is convenient because the height difference of the ship and the pier doesn’t change constantly regardless of the tide . And also, less environmental destruction because it doesn’t need any landfills .

The mountain village will also be pleased to be able to work other than the game board .

Although it is said that it will be a lot of money, for the men, I think that the work that was split would be boring .

==========================

Late night after a few days .

Updated from novelhall[.]com

I secretly came to the seaside, I stood on a rocky place a little away from the sandy beach .

The terrain and seabed conditions have been confirmed .

[Transfer!] I brought out a lot of rocks from the ocean floor .

Then I went back by [transfer] . In order to position the rocks that was brought up from the seabed to form the breakwater .

[Transfer!] Connect the uneven parts of the shoreline .

Then I went back by [transfer] . To place the rocks at the location of the breakwater .

[Transfer!] Make a road to the village wide enough using rocks and remove the bulky ones out of the way .

==========================

The next day, the residents of the fishing village are making a big fuss .

Because in just overnight, we suddenly have a breakwater, a wide flatland, and a rocky road to the village .

But, well, everyone knows who did it, so after everyone devoted their prayers to the Viscount’s Mansion, they started working as usual .

Yeah, everyone got used to it, so it seems . Even if you didn’t know the burrowed condition of the ocean floor .

I’m going to mess around with the road to Bozes territory tonight .

Shall I leave it flat, or swing straight ahead~ .

I will refrain from creating a tunnel, I’m afraid that it will suddenly collapse .

Ah, you wish to leave everything up to me and make it into a valley~… . .

==========================

Earl:「Mitsuha a~a!!」

5 days later Earl Bozes came .

Mitsuha: 「What’s wrong, you seemed to be out of breath……」

Earl: 「What is the meaning of this! After receiving reports from subordinates, I came here but … 」

The Earl is breathing heavily . What in the world did you do?

Earl: 「What is that road! When did you start the construction!」

Ah…… .

Mitsuha: 「I thought that the traffic volume will increase from now on, so the road should be well maintained……」

Earl: 「So, how did you do it? No way……」

Mitsuha: 「Yes, a little bit life force…… . 」

Earl: 「You idiot! Argh!」

Hi ~yaa, Earl, is seriously angry …… .

Mitsuha: 「But, I just wanted to improve the highway and the road will remain even if I die, so no one will be troubled if I suddenly disappear…」

……………………… .

Pashi n! (slap to the face sfx)

He slapped my cheek .

It hurts . (Itai . )

Seriously I got slapped…… .

Earl: 「You, do you not care about yourself anymore! You, you, you’re a massive idiot!！」 ( ōbakamono ga!! )

She should have taken care of the road properly .

But, in this territory, there is no work force to do that much construction . There is no money to hire people from other territories, there is neither production nor accommodation and facilities that can support many workers . Even if she keep doing it little by little, everything goes well . If that is the case, she’ll just do it all at once and then disappear .

Since many people will visit from now on, if you do not do it before that, it will be a big fuss if the road is expanded overnight . Besides, it’s not going to be a topic now because of the confusion made by the invasion .

So, my abilities will be a little bit exposed, but I should take care of it now .

I have no regret in that judgment .

However………

……………… .

Mitsuha: 「Go, go be d’da zai ~i ~………」 (I’m very sorry . . with a crying voice . )

I cried… I cried as hard as i can…… .

It’s not because my cheek hurts .

Because I got angry .

Because I got scolded .

Gyū ū ~ (burying her face to Earl’s chest while crying . )
