Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend Chapter122

Chapter122

The second batch of supplies that were sent to was pretty large. 40% of the supplies were wood, 20% were preserved foods, 20% were scrap tals, and there were also all sorts of other things. These supplies would take quite a bit of space to store. I would instruct Sir Holzdeppe and the officials, who were confirming the arrived goods with the list, regarding where to store them.

Foods and weapons were obviously important for a siege battle, but unexpectedly, woods and scrap tals were also important. When the towns gate gets almost breached in a siege, the gate must be reinforced using woods and nails from the inside. tal scrap was also used to repair weapons, armors, and saddles. tal scrap would also be used to create arrowheads, while wood would be used to repair spear handles, for cooking, lting iron, and of course, for creating bonfires at night.

As I was thinking like that, Sir Holzdeppe approached .

Although the supplies have arrived safely, I am still wondering why we need these small-sized catapults, which are usually used as siege weapons?

Well, for many things.

For example, shooting stones. For humans, being rained down by stones would be pretty troubleso. Well, our opponents werent human, but I already had a different idea for using these catapults. After all, it would be impossible for to fight with the demon army that had a demon general to boot with just my human soldiers so sooner or later I would have to use the support troop to use these small projectile weapons.

However, unlike swords and bows, it was rare for small projectile weapons like this to be used in a war, so there were only a few people who were skilled in using them. I had only seen these kinds of small projectile weapons on television. Maybe I would also try to use it myself in a real battle later.

More woods will be delivered here in the future, so make sure to also prepare a storage for them.

Understood. And where should I put that thing?

Put it in the basent. Ill co to see it later.

Yes, sir.

After I had given all the necessary instructions, I didnt return to the office but went to the lords mansion. After this, I had to talk with the guild leaders of the Carpenter Guild and the talsmith Guild. Ah, I would say I want to build a fortress for observing the border. Technically, that wasnt a lie. Since I had a bit of complicated specifications for my order, it would be more appropriate for to be the one who went to et the two guild leaders, but if I did that, Sir Behnke would scold with you are being too humble! Ah, why did a simple eting have to be that complicated?

While I was thinking, without realizing it, I had already arrived at the lords mansion. This lords mansion was my private residence. Personal guests and secret guests would et with the governor here. Even though the one who would be living here was a governor, for so reason, it was called a lords mansion. Well, I just had to accept that it was a custom in this world.

Normally, the governor would live in this lords mansion with their entire family, so the mansion was big. But in my case, I ca here alone, not with family, so there were a lot of vacant rooms. Thankfully, a part of the vacant rooms in this mansion had already been occupied by Neurath, Schunzel, other people I had brought from the capital, and the servants I had hired. After all, I didnt feel comfortable if I had to live in this mansion by myself.

As I entered the mansion, I saw a group of familiar faces sitting leisurely while drinking tea. They were five mbers of the Iron Hamr party. I was glad to see they were doing well.

Its been a while!

Ah, Viscount-sama. Congratulations on your appointnt as a governor.

You being polite like that makes my skin crawl, so stop it!

We then laughed. Ah I liked this kind of light-hearted conversation. This reminded of Mazell. I wondered if he was doing fine.

But your reputation in the capital is pretty bad. So called you a wasteful Viscount while others called you a debt-ridden governor.

What they are saying is true, though.

Or, to be more specific, I hoped they really thought that they were right, or I would be in trouble. I wouldnt tell the Iron Hamr that, though.

As people have said, no smoke without fire. By going into debtto hire Gekke-san, I had lit a fire, so what I needed to do now was to let that fire beco bigger on its own.

Although His Highness and the Grand Duke promised they were going to support from the shadows, a rumor of their favoritism would spread if they sent supplies too frequently.

But that sort of thing wouldnt happen if the supplies were bought using the money I had borrowed. The only downside of this tactic was that my reputation would take a hit. I would rather have a bad reputation than die in the war with the demons because of a lack of supplies.

Still, I would feel ashad if people called my parents not being able to raise your son right, he beca a wasteful person! I had to apologize to my parents about this later.

I was entrusted with many things to give to you. First are these.

He then gave a magic bag and a letter. The letter was from Father.

Whats in the bag?

I was told that it has so necessary docunts.

Ah, I see. Although the letters sender was written to be Father, it was actually a letter from the Grand Duke. That was why the letter was sent along with this expensive magic bag. While thinking like that, I opened the letter and started to read it. Oh? What a surprise.

Mazel has returned to the capital?

Yes, thats what I heard, but we have not t him directly.

According to the letter, after defeating the first of the Four Heavenly Kings, Mazell returned to the capital and went to the Zeavert Mansion. He returned just a day after my departure to Anheim. What a pity. Well, I was glad that Mazell got to et his family for the first ti in a while.

Hmm? It seed that old man Uwe joined the hero party just like in the ga, but he wanted to et ? Why? Did I do sothing? I couldnt rember.

As I was reading the letter, I couldnt help but chuckle when soone from the Iron Hamr party ntioned they wanted to et the hero-sama, and another person replied youre saying that NOW!? That guy, Mazell, was as popular as always.

The Count has also asked to pass you two other things. First, this is a letter from Mazell-san and also this and that.

He proceeded to hand another letter and a bag. Inside the bag were about 5 to 6 Skywalks. Although I didnt need them now, I was sure they were going to be useful later. If the Skywalks wouldnt just teleport outside of a town, they would have beco much more useful, but I guess I couldnt hope for the impossible.

His Highness had also given several Skywalks. I was told to use them to send a ssenger to the capital in case of an ergency.

It would be troubleso if the existence and the ability of Skywalks were carelessly made well known. So people might say things like, the commander will save only his own skin using the Skywalk! or they will escape just with their family! I had no intention of doing that, but many wouldnt believe that. I guess I had to consult soone on how to handle Skywalks in the future.

Putting that thought aside, I turned my attention to the thing that was leaning against the wall. It was a brand-new spear which looked to be a pretty high-quality one. If it was a spear that was acquired after defeating the first Heavenly King, maybe it was the Spear of Fighter. I didnt know if that was true though, since the illustration of Spear of Fighter didnt exist in the ga.

Ah, right. In the ga, this was the ti when the hero party needed to buy new equipnt. Although I was grateful for the new spear, I hoped they just focused on buying their own equipnt.

Ill check that later. By the way, can you stay in this town for a while?

Are you going to give us another troubleso commission?

Thats for later. For now, can I ask you to tour the town as adventurers while investigating my reputation in town?

That much will be fine.

As for my usual troubleso commission, lets put it on the Adventurer Guild later. For now, I would write an introduction letter to the inn for the Iron Hamr. I would also read Mazells letter later.

I doubted the letter contained sothing important, since Mazell had a strange habit of telling important things only through a verbal ssage, not a letter.

I was glad that Mazell and his party had returned safely to the capital after defeating the first Heavenly King. It would be better if I could at least see their faces, but well there was nothing I could do about that.

Rather, since Mazell and his party seed to be doing well, I should keep moving forward.
