Leslie territory, Tanzan Town, thin and tall Viscount Andrew has stepped onto the city wall, looks in the looking into the distance point of city wall to the direction of wharf area.
Newly-built wharf tower is towering in the Clearwater River bank, the tower attractive apex is reflecting the brilliance visionally under the sunlight, but under tower, Clearwater River over a thousand sails rolls by, every large or small ships communicated like the busy ant continuous, an entire river course busy scene.
The so busy and lively scene is starting from last year.
A cool breeze blows, because of takes magic medicine excessively becomes the sensitive throat is all of a sudden ill, Andrew? Leslie Viscount cannot bear send out several fierce coughs, stands goes forward in nearby steward immediately, the warm growing hair coat will throw over on own master.
Recruits less than one year of steward a little to be also worried newly: „Sir Viscount, you should go back to rest.”
„Blows the cold wind to be helpful to pondering calmly,” Andrew spoke thoughtlessly saying that the line of sight took back from the wharf, and has swept in the newly-built warehouse, mill as well as western city district, he sighed one suddenly, „really quick.”
The stewards have not heard clearly: „What?”
The steward who draws on newly works reliably, the brain is also flexible, but the date and time was still eventually short, lacked tacit Viscount Andrew to sigh in this aspect with slightly, shook the head afterward, flung the mind some not quick memory: „Nothing. Are the messengers still waiting in the castle?”
„Yes,” steward nods, „Horsman Earl is waiting for your reply.”
Viscount Andrew silent moment, suddenly asked: „You said, this war who will win?”
„...... Gawain? The Duke Cecil situation is not wonderful,” steward has hesitated, said in a low voice, he knows own master and Duke Gawain walk is very near, but requested him to say the true idea at this time loyally, „, even if he were a legend, in his hand also only had several thousand people, but Horsman Earl has organized several tens of thousands people of armies......”
Viscount Andrew shows neither approval nor disapproval: „Several tens of thousands people ‚army’......”
By the mobilization capability of this time, in addition Southern Region bleak dispirited aspect, can summon that several tens of thousands armies truly is a very extraordinary digit, after all here biggest aristocrat also by Earl, the private soldier quantity that can maintain has the limit eventually.
After having thought for several seconds, Viscount Andrew looked at own steward one eyes: „It seems like according to your meaning, I should respond the summons of Horsman Earl as soon as possible, good to stand in side of victor as soon as possible.”
The stewards deeply lowered the head: „My suggestion is insignificant, I am only a steward, still not enough ability understood your enterprise.”
Andrew feels is a little senseless, curled the lip in the angle that steward cannot see, afterward looks these trebuchet pedestal these trebuchets to the city wall faces the Clearwater River direction, in a century ago, the Leslie Family ancestors once depended upon this to face the city wall in rivers to resist the robber who attacks from the waterway and becomes a fugitive the soldier, that is the Ainz civil strife just finished soon time, Southern Region does not have today to be so safe. Now hundred years crossed, in city wall these trebuchets because have traded decayed and frailly several times, but they for a long time have not applied very much.
Also is a cold wind blows, city wall the lungs of wind as if always exciting especially person, this Viscount has bound clothes, has coughed in a soft voice two: „We go back, Horsman Earl messenger waited to be very long.”
The stewards follow immediately: „Yes.”
„Moreover looks for of several Cecil territory releases to me again ‚newspaper’, about «Aristocrat Overhaul Bill» that they carry out and «Land allocation Law» material, looks to me some...... I must understand.”
An army is building up in the northern area.
Besides divides forces to give to cultivate the wave Earl 20,000 people, as 50,000 people of main force after being ten long time reassignments and accumulations, the plain of mostly proper, continuous tent and flag southwest the Carroll area on direction were spreading out all over, a lively piece of beyond example giant rural fair seems to be common.
Here is gathering the armies from Southern Region regional dozens on the spot aristocrats, from the Baron to Earl, all honorable and legitimate bloodlines gathered one. Soldier who each aristocrat brings little less than hundred people, many are over a thousand, and defers to the size to pitch camp respectively voluntarily. They first defer to the aristocrat title height of its giving loyalty to assign the big region, then defers to arrive at the rallying point the priority order to carry on two assignments in this region again, ultimately has formed one piece jig-saw patterned, incomparably chaotic and all kinds of base.
Dozens types of different flags flutter sky over this piece of giant barrack, among each camps seems to be the labyrinth curving intriguing path, wears various assorted numbered clothing and type armor, grasps various types of flags, leading various voices messengers to be upon the jump in this labyrinth same barracks area, was howling loudly, only then their people on one's own side can do to understand that( or did does not understand) the verbal command, the confusion of eruption will sometimes occur just quickly to be flushed the military force to stop by the knights because of the order wrongly.
The equipment that the soldiers in camp dress also and their camps are equally chaotic, even simply is a lively display, gathers to the most excellent whole body steel armor from crudest half-length leather armor in this same place unexpectedly, they are used to mark oneself status the method are also completely different, some dependences have the duster of symbol on body upper hood one, some are tying the arms the different color cloth strips, has symbol that on the dependence shield, has simply then not any mark, entire with village remembers the face depending on the soldier mutually, this could not be borne will be worried about this. „Army” was dismissing that day of return trip to be able some people with mistakenly the team, caused to go into other territory to come up, but this worry completely had the possibility in fact, even truly has occurred.
In recited in the story of roaming poet, then vividly described has this kind of story: Soldier who is called Tom, possibly is the mountain person, possibly is the Kang Sike person, attended a grand war, has actually admitted mistakes in returning in triumph the face of senior official, arrived with others' army one breath left home not to know that far place, he found a wife to give birth in foreign land another region, lives for eight years, then in a new war once more with mistakenly the team, muddleheaded returned to own hometown...... This story spreads in Southern Region quite broadly, even is regarded as by many knights „romantic battlefield life” symbol.
Callovian who wears the golden red Earl overcoat? Horsman rides on deep red warhorse that in oneself most cherish, under several accompaniment of Viscount and Baron across this stretch of giant camp, in his recent position, puts on Carroll Viscount of black straight coat.
Callovian? On Horsman Earl face is having the relaxed happy smiling face, at present this piece of scale astonishing barrack, as well as in the camp reaches 50,000 armies to establish and gather under his unsurpassed prestigious summons, this magnificent scene had then proven Horsman Family was still magnificent in his hand, but this is he as best awarding that a Horsman Family institute can obtain.
„Has a look, so the strength of scale, really does not know that our ancient heroes must resist with anything,” Horsman Earl points at the front with the whip, the intonation cannot be bearing rise, „speaks the truth, I almost a little regretted now perhaps I do not need to call these many people, here each flag, may probably assign spoils of war fairly.”
„This had proven exactly your generous, my Sir,” a Baron smiles was saying, the tone is respectful and admiring, „you not only to maintain the Ainz law and tradition bravely steps forward, and is looking after everyone on this lands generously.”
The surrounding other people echo, in the aristocrats talked, some disturbances transmitted from the nearby suddenly.
Horsman Earl looks up, saw one crowd of wear lock armor or the half-length armor soldier are noisy wrestle by the tent in the same place, seems is erupting to dispute for the qualifications to fight for first fetching water, but they have wrestled shortly, then the armor bright knight walks, the person who 2-3 fighting all knocks down.
„Look, the knight of adhering faithfully is keeping the order, this is the duty and significance of aristocrat is,” Horsman looks at this satisfied, was sighing, „does not dare to imagine, if did not have the strength of this maintenance order, here will be chaotic to any situation...... Therefore I do not dare to imagine, our ancient heroes deprived the privilege of knights, maintained after the aristocrat the function of order destroyed, is to do anything.”
„He wants why perhaps only then the gods know, the consequence that but he such makes he affirmed that has experienced,” Carroll Viscount was saying, shakes the head to sigh, „the knight and mages who receives the insult have smashed him ‚Alchemy Factory’, but also has blown up his warehouse, he disrupted the order, now the order vanished from his land, can only say that reaps what has been sown.”
On Carroll Viscount face is having regretting and regret really he will certainly feel regrettably, because since the winter of last year, has traded potion to Holy Spirit Plain as well as from entering the Cecil merchant there collection high quota tax money of city is his important source of income, now Cecil territory Alchemy Factory was destroyed, the potion supply quickly wanes, how this can regret and regret.
Those who make Carroll Viscount annoyed is, when he has to seek for in the territory original Alchemist, when wants with the traditional alchemy medicament alleviates stockout temporarily, his suddenly Alchemist could not find......
If not this attack, will grasp the neutral Carroll Viscount such quickly thoroughly not to join Horsman Earl camp, and will take to give the army to be stationed the big piece plain of territory edge.
„Does not know that cultivates wave Earl there situation to be what kind,” Viscount in team said suddenly, „that Andrew? Leslie with is very near, this time has not responded your summons that Cecil walks, perhaps he will disregard you to write to his letter.”
„My own handwriting writing a letter makes him treat in the castle, do not block to cultivate the wave Earl road, this is the biggest courteous reception and tolerated,” Callovian? Horsman gently snort/hum, „, if he disregards intentionally does not matter, cultivated wave Earl to have 20,000 people, must hit also to have more than enough small Tanzan Town for two days, even if that Leslie Family sickly person went to Cecil to move the reinforcement, put off the fire in his castle without enough time...... So long as his brain did not have is ruined by magic medicine thoroughly, he knows how should do.”
Hears this systematic analysis, the surrounding followers approve.
Horsman Earl raised the head, looked that to the distant place toward the messenger who oneself dash.
He smiles: „We as if received from ‚the ancient hero’ reply.”
What in seeing the messenger gives itself when is one quite looks familiar the paint tube that Horsman Earl could not bear select the eyebrow, but when seeing paint tube that parchment volume of letter own writing by hand, his facial expression was puzzled were many deceived anger.
This anger launches, sees end of the letter that word the time in him parchment completely to the peak, actually transformed one to laugh.
Nearby some people regarding this are very puzzled: „Is my Sir, in the letter the rebuttal words?”
Horsman Earl stops laughing, snort/hum, the parchment volume in hand has been on fire and fired the ashes gently baseless quickly: „No, is ‚battle’.”
