319 Dissatisfied and demanding

"You seem rather unscrupulous."

"Are you impotent? Nothing. I didn't do anything in particular, Lord Peacha. The Percival family at the corner of the three nobles is in the present situation because of the sins they have committed."

"Hmm, I see. So let's do that."

"Do so. So, what happened today? Wasn't Lord Peacha supposed to have returned to the Knights of Einrad?

"Um, I went back to territory once to match the snowmelt. I had received a report from the minister about the impact of the earthquake earlier, but I wanted to see it in my own eyes. But now that I'm concerned, I'm back in Fontana City."

"What do you care? Can I help you?

"... is there anything, isn't it? I heard stories of your subordinate Vargas and Knight Bites ascending to the ranks of the principals. I'm moving to make sure it's true."

"Oh, is that what you mean? Right. Those two confirm they can activate a spell called [Spirit Summoning]. You may say that you have the strength of a master."

"... Again, huh? And is the rumor true that your power is heavily involved in that?

"It will be their hard work, for one thing, that the two of them have climbed to the top."

"Can't you just tell me the truth as a story here? You used some method, didn't you? If you tell me the truth, it could be a little bad."

"Bad thing, is it?

"That's right. It is still good that my friend Vargas has become the lead. but i am a little anxious that the knight byte has become our main class. If you do it badly, the Urk District could get rough."

"The Urk District? Did Brother Bite do something, Lord Peacha? Or did the knights, who originally belonged to the Wolk family, make a move?

"... No, it's not. It is not the knights of Urk origin who are dissatisfied with the increased power of the knight-bytes. Elance von Burma, who ruled the Knights of Burma."

Why not?

Brother Byte has become our master.

There are those who don't care about that.

That in itself, I can wonder if some people would think so.

but why does that lead to the dissatisfaction of the Knight of Fontana?

I had no idea by my senses, but when Peacha explained it to me, I finally understood what it meant.

The cause of Elance's strong dissatisfaction with his part-time brother governing the Knights of Burma territory in the Urk district.

It came from things like sequences and ratings.

Nobles and knights who find themselves in a terrible environment in which powerful things take their territory away from each other, but there are still formal things such as sequences and ratings.

Whoever has the highest sequence in Fontana territory today is still a toddler, but the future lord, and Garrod, the remaining child of Carlos, the previous lord.

And the knights of Fontana are beneath it with Garrod as the top.

I am currently in the position of principal proxy, but in my capacity I am the Knight of Fontana who has sworn allegiance to the Fontana family owner.

For once, I have also been exceptionally certified by the Church as the Holy Knight, but let's leave this for now.

In contrast, Peacha and Elance are also the knights of Fontana who ran through the battlefield with their predecessor, Carlos, and are in a position of equal standing if I get off the position of principal proxy.

but Bite brother or Vargas is not the knight of Fontana.

These two are Barca knights, whom I named.

I mean, we're a step down in things like sequences and ratings.

I guess that means that the Fontana knight named Elance, who governs the Knights of Burma, can't tolerate that a person who is inferior to himself has become the main class.

From me, I don't know, but if Peacha told me, I'd know exactly how it felt.

Well, if you think about it, maybe that too.

Because, normally, there's not much more magical going on downstairs than there is a magic path.

For the most part, if you are a knight belonging to a great nobleman, these cases are also common.

Because the internal structure of the great nobility, as it has grown by absorbing other nobles, is complex, and often strength cannot be measured by simple sequences alone.

But Fontana still held only about a third of the territory together until a few years ago, so I guess many think like Elance.

It would be possible to say against Elance, let it be, don't make a mess of it.

But that's how Peacha came to tell me when she met me.

Perhaps this issue is not limited to Elance.

Maybe the Ikes' Ghana, which governs the Parameter Fortress and others, is thinking something similar in the Arborest district, in terms of Vargas, which has become the main class.

So, isn't it a good idea to respond too badly?

If the Burmese were the only ones who were dissatisfied, even if they could be resolved by tough measures, if the knights were dissatisfied with me throughout Fontana territory, they would be able to skip other nobles into it.

"I understand what Lord Peacha is trying to say. But I'm not willing to casually use the newly developed method of enhancement. If you want other knights to do the Barca enhancement I did to the Barca knights, you need to pay the price."

"The price, huh? Well, naturally I wouldn't ask you to offer it free of charge, but what price do you want?

"Ask them to provide the land designated here as a dedicated transport route"

"Transport only route? What the hell is that supposed to mean? If that means a transport route, do you use Barca's [road laying]?

"Well, is that what it is? Even so, I lay the tracks, not the roads."

In the far south, the three great nobles are in contention with each other.

While gathering information about it, there were also those who said many things in Fontana territory.

But it might be just the right time.

With this in mind, I thought about introducing further reforms in distribution.

Flirting the enhanced method of demon stone implantation ceremony, which may become the main class, against the knights of Fontana with territory, they seek the right to use the land of each knight territory.

And that's where I decided to build the track.
