I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 465

"Hey, Ars. Where are you going this winter?

"Ah? What are you talking about, part-time brother? Why do we have to fight in the winter?"

"No, you're just saying what you're saying. With you, I can move my army in the winter. Then the five remaining houses of the Northern Alliance of Nobles will be attacked during the winter."

"No, no, why do you have to do that? We're struggling with the rapid expansion of the country. In a few more years, we'll need to take control of the land, so we won't have to move any further."

"You should think about the lack of manpower later. Rather, there are still hostiles left, so it's safer to crush them. Besides, this is not just my opinion. There are a lot of people who want to fight."

"... seriously?

"Oh, seriously."

Whether I was in Fontana or not, I was doing domestic work while giving instructions.

A part-time brother who was leading Fontana's army to fight everywhere to exterminate bandits and maintain law and order in a newly increased number of lands came forward.

Along with the bandits, they also fought the survival of rebellious knights and aristocracy against Fontana.

After hearing the report, I was lightly shocked by what my part-time brother said.

Maybe a lot of people think I'm going to fight this winter?

Generally speaking, it is not uncommon to move an army in winter.

After all, it is cold and there is a problem with food.

It is true, however, that in recent years the Fontana army has operated in the winter as if it ignored such common sense.

You can use the Ice Spirit I gave you in [Ice Spirit Summoning] to minimize the cold, or you can use Valkyrie to move around.

Moreover, if food is packed in a magic bag that has been increased by [soil improvement], it is possible to travel to a long distance.

For this reason, he began the Percival family's labyrinth strategy, cutting off the Rubic and Hermes territories, as well as conducting eastern expeditions across the snowy mountains.

When I think about it, I certainly don't think I've been moving my army around in the winter like every year lately.

But as for me, I don't want to fight without rest in winter.

Don't take winter wars for granted.

After all, when that happens, I can use Ice Spirit Summon and I'll be driven to the battlefield every year.

I don't like that.

I want to soak in the hot springs in the winter and relax with Lilina and listen to the opera singing princess.

"It's true what the part-time job says, Ars."

"Leon, you're back."

Yes, I was reporting using Remarks , but I thought I'd come here and report it immediately.

"What about the new Graham territory? I don't think it would be difficult to turn the seal all of a sudden, but is it going well?

"Yeah, I can handle it. It was originally relatively close to Fontana. I think it's easier to summarize than the outer border territories."

"That's good. So, what do you mean, my part-time brother is right?

"It means as it is. Bite is right, in the Fontana kingdom today, the question is which noble domain Ars is targeting this winter."

"No, I told my part-time brother earlier, but it's time to consolidate for a while. There's no point in expanding territory in vain."

"I do think that Ars' idea is realistic. But it's different for others."

"What's the difference?

"Whatever you say, basically people think about themselves. And knights generally want to show their work in battle and gain territory. In other words, there are many people who want to fight against Arus and have their own territory with merit or want to expand it even more."

"... I see. You want to fight not for your country, but for yourself."

"Exactly. With Ars, we can move even in winter, and the opponent can't move. In addition, we all know that the walls of the city no longer function as a defense force in this battle. If it is a battle that can be won, and if you can beat the knights and the protagonists there, then everyone will want to go to battle."

"But when I led the Fontana army into battle, it didn't necessarily give him territory, did it?

"That's right. So it seems that it is a common idea to belong to the border army and join the winter team. If you were a Border Guard, you would probably get your own Knight's Reign as a Knight in Border Guard territory."

I see. Will there be more of them if they win too much? It's a lot of trouble. "

Is this a so-called warrior or a militant?

Apparently, there are knights and knight aspirants in the Fontana kingdom who believe that the bubble is coming, either because of the recent victory or because they have a chance of gaining territory.

I don't really want to fight another battle, but I wonder if people who have self-interest would know that.

However, it would not be very good to attack somewhere with opinions from around here.

When that happens, you'll have to listen to them and keep fighting.

But war is not a reason for that.

It should have a national purpose and exist as one of the solutions for it.

I was going to bother myself that I might want to think about what to do about this before the militants get a lot of opinions.
