After that, there was a confidential eting of Teacher and the Demon King for the purpose of capturing Tuban by the third division. Apparently, the commander is also decided, so I got busy suddenly.
Ryun Height, where we currently are, is the closest from Tuban. Thats why, this city will beco the relay base for the Tuban capture army.
I ordered the inujin troops to start the construction work in front of the forest outside the west gate.
Its a place of rest for the soldiers tired from marching, just make it so to endure rain and wind! The rest doesnt matter!
Even if I say so myself, its a harsh statent, but there is not enough materials or personnel.
The main forces this ti around are the jinba race. Their upper body is human and lower body is horse. Its the so-called centaurs. They are a troubleso group.
What the trouble is that they require lodging houses of stable standard. Even if I let them inside the city, there is no place for them to stay. Because five hundred animals. No, five hundred people will be coming.
Therefore, in a hurry, I ordered the inujin military engineers to construct lodging house.
Yo, commander. There you were!
The one that called to halt is the blacksmith of werewolf troops, Jerik.
He rushed up to half naked, and showed horseshoe.
Because this is the size for jinbas use, the horse ones couldnt be used. I had no choice but to make it anew. How is this?
Even if you ask that
I held it in my hand, but I dont get it.
There wouldnt be mistakes in your work. I leave it to you.
Alright, then I will rush to make these. Dont put anything in my shift?
I understand already.
This ti, its Faan-oneechan.
Vaito-kun, what do the jinba race eat? Dry grass?
Well, because the upper half is human, may be they dont eat dry grass
What to do, I cant prepare that much at.
The ones that go at at, are only us, the werewolves. Its fine to put in bread and dry fruit.
Understood, I will prepare that.
Faan-oneechan hurriedly ran off.
Since the common sense and ecology is different if the races are different, anyway its a big job.
When we are having troubles with this and that, an inujin guard cos running.
Sothing is getting closer in the north gate! Around fifteen hundred!
Fifteen hundred?
Looks like a cavalry!
Its strange, considering the jinba troops, the numbers dont match.
Imdiately, I ordered the suspension of construction work, and made the inujin retreat inside the city.
What is going on.
When I reached the north gate, I ordered to close the castle gate.
I summon my underlings with a howling.
Receiving the ergency summons, werewolves gathered at the northgate one by one.
Vaito, isnt this the day for the reinforcents to arrive?
From that direction, enemies wont co, right?
To the werewolves saying unanimously, I ask them to be vigilant just in case. It was also just like when Tuban volunteer troops ca.
The ones getting closer certainly look like cavalry, but gradually their figures could be seen clearly.
What, isnt it the jinba race after all.
And soon the jinba troops are aligned before the castle gate, and a little jinba soldier ca forward from within.
A jinba equipped with a short spear and a small shield, brandishing and swinging the spear shouts.
Ya Ya I am the demon army third division aide, Violent Runner Fernel! Open the gate, open the ga~te!
Its the voice of a girl.
(TN: the second ti, she says it cutely, Kaimon)
Since Fernel was the na I had heard, getting down from the castle walls, I greeted them. The anxious werewolves also follow in succession.
This is third division Aide Vaito. Nice to et you, is it?
(TN: Here nice to et you is Hajimashite, which is normally used if youre eting soone for the first ti, thats why Vaito is confused if it was the first ti they t)
When I introduced myself, the girl of jinba race happily nodded.
Hmm, nice to et you! Although I am not a magician, I believe I am a disciple of Gomoviroa-sama! Please treat well, senpai!
O,oh.
Sohow the rhythm is amiss.
(TN: She refers herself as Boku, which is normally used by young boys, aka bokuonna)
It seems like there are no problems, so I guided them to the west forest.
Since there are no facilities for jinba race inside the city, I have prepared the camps here. Although its only for five hundred.
Eh, why is it only five hundred?
I explain, with a sigh, to the sullen looking Fernel.
Because you didnt report the exact numbers.
Well, the intention was to bring five hundred, however everyone said they want to ca along ehehe
Its not ehehe.
Since it cant be helped, I decided to order the inujins to spread out the tents. I cant bring myself to make the officers of demon army to sleep outdoors. Sohow it should be enough.
Fernel-dono..
I am a junior, so you can call without honorifics.
Fernel laughs. Shes innocently cute, but is she really fine as a commander, this girl.
Fernel, listen well. The demon army is neither a collection of hobbies, nor is it a charity. It is troubleso if you dont report accurately, or do not act according the decided plan.
When I rebuked, Fernel saluted straightening her back.
Yes, I will be careful from now on!
Hm, isnt she quite obedient.
So, please dont be angry anymore, senpai?
Cant you please stop that way of calling.
I invited her to the Viceroys mansion, lead her to the office. I think the carpets would be considerably spoiled with the hoofs, but well I will apologize to the maids of the viceroy later.
Well, its a discussion regarding the job.
The fifteen hundred jinba troops and three hundred shiro troops from reen-senpai. The rest are the thousand skeleton troops from Teacher, adding together its three thousand, isnt it?
Senpai?
Stop calling like that.
Sohow it feels ticklish.
Well, the werewolf troops have to defend Ryun Height
The chance of rebellion by the palace guards of Ryun Height is exceedingly low, but just because of that I cant leave it unattended. I cant move the werewolf troops.
Teacher was saying that she has lent senpai two thousand skeleton troops?
Cant take it out. I will use it for Ryun Heights defense.
Then Fernel cheerfully laughed.
Its fine, even if enemies were to co, they would be Tubans relief forces.
I fixedly gaze at the map.
As Ryun Height is a trade city, all the neighborhood cities are connected with trade routes. Although its convenient to attack from here, similarly its also easy to be attacked.
Just that, Mirarudia alliance armys main force is fiercely battling in the northern war front, the possibility of an attack here is very low.
But, we cant be careless.
When I was hesitant, Fernel leaned forward, and said.
Senpai, on the capture of Tuban lies the northern war fronts no, the demon armys future. We absolutely cant fail. Thats why, please, lend the soldiers.
It was a serious gaze. Without thinking, I nodded.
Th,thats right.
Besides look, once we capture Tuban, Mirarudia alliance army would co to recover Tuban first before Ryun Height? Wouldnt Ryun Height be peaceful?
With a complete change, Fernel made a carefree expression.
But, the serious gaze of Fernel was burned into my mind.
Also, her point is correct. As one would expect, she has the qualities to be a vice commander, and she sure has a discerning eye for the war situation.
Fernel. You, can you move the skeleton soldiers?
Impossible!
Then, it cant be helped.
I coldy refuse.
Fernel is disheartened.
Standing up, I patted her back.
Thats why, I would take the skeleton soldiers with . Get the permission from Teacher.
In the blink of an eye, her expressions beca cheerful, and kicking up her hooves she hugged .
Thank you! I love you senpai!
So, please stop calling like that.
