「Strategic Retreat」
The nextstarts at the usual inn, and I wake up with my usual appearance
While sitting on the bed, I took out the bread fro into the bread The bread was very different from what I used to eat in the other world There is a salty taste to it, and it is heavier and harder It like it just sits in the pit of your stomach……
While there was a bakery in the city, it seees only made it for festivals and other celebrations I learned froers e
It was unexpected that they would have japanese porridge in this world Its impossible to have takeout, but I could make it forI don’t have to fear overeating but it was hard to find places to eat
When I finished eating the not so good bread, I carried e down to the first floor I passed by the e
I headed to the adventurers guild on thein front of the request board This is the first ti When I approach the request board, without even speaking, the other adventures looked my way in surprise
After all the request board only had personal request that gave out pocket le plaque that offered more then 5 silver coins on itSince there were no quest that interested ame on the outskirts of town and sell it to the merchant association
The destination is south of Rubierute, I enter the forest on the opposite side on the river bank I was excited because its like I’ame
I ended up searching the forest on the other side of the river all day I first caroup of orc, but after I beat one the others ran away at full speed It appears that orcs were cowardly monsters
I carried the orc I killed over my shoulder
The forest had a variety of monsters and animals in it A a to kill me Drops didn’t fall and my experience point didn’t increase when I killed a monster either
Yet, the living area of humans was predominantly small Perhaps the territories can’t expand without a constantforce
Deep inside the forest I found a minotaur inside a cave The minotaur was about 3 meters tall, with the head and lower body of a cow, and the upper body of pure human muscle
If it was the game, then this felloould have been equipped with an iron axe, as the race had acquiredhu around a club
Speaking of which, I have yet to see a hu the human territories Maybe the nature of the power and the power structure of this world keep ic out the reach of commoners
While thinking about such things, I crossed through the west gate, and made my way to the merchant association’s warehouse Like last ti man came out to the inspection table I sat the orc down from my shoulder and asked the price
“One orc is 7 sek and 5 sok”
It was the sa burba? These bodies were cheap Was it because the orcs were easier to chase down than the burba?
Well since oal is to steadily earn an income I don’t mind When I said I’d except the offer, then man left his seat to prepare the money
While I calmly waited forIt’s conore information that can be useful to you
“Recently, there’s a ru near the border Near the east border village and Reburan, a caravan that was passing through suffered heavy daes”
“The forest is close to the wind dragon e, it’s not unusual for there to be more monster around there, is it?”
“Idiot, monsters don’t usually come all the way down to the road”
“He?”
The staff member appeared withabout the dragon thethe amount, I place the money in my pouch
Taking a leisurely walk though the city, I conte to the usual inn today I need to establish my own base someday and determine where I should wander from there A base of my oill allowabout anyone seeing
With 【Transfer Gate】, even if my base is at the bottom of the sea I can instantly move back to town
First, I should investigate the geography while earning a steady income
Third person point of view
The city or Rubierute has strategic ih both the city of Diento and the royal capital, that is in the center of the Rhoden kingdom
Going from the northern boarder of the capital there are two e One path leads to the east while the other to the west
Although a short distance from the capital, the western path leads to the ribot wastelands The wastelands were dotted with small tohere the water supply was scarce The barren terrain also e-scale transportation difficult
In comparison, the eastern path traveled down the rydell river, that brings water into the capital, and is composed of a low hilly terrain In addition, the the eastern side of the calcutta e cities You had to cross the rydell river, which flowed froe, twice on this path, but other than that its relatively easy to advance
Diento is the city upstreaht in front of a e starts off at the city’s south gate and crosses the entire river This fact also ic importance Therefor, the city was built with double layered walls that allowed the city to act as a fort when needed
The city was governed by marquis Triton The castle in the center of town could be coht The castle walls were twice the size as normal, and the moat twice as wide
In the office of the fortress,over the open documents on his desk
Diento’s ray hair that reach his legs, and had grohite mustache His was dressed up in overly flae frame
Hearing a knock on the office door, he raised his eyes froave permission for the person to enter
“Excuse me”
The one that entered the office was Cyrus Dorman The nervous Cyrus’s face was pale, as he slicked back the thinning hair on top of his head, to cover up his bald spot
Cyrus came before the desk and offered a deep bow to his ain when it fall out of place
“The matter in Rubierute…… seems to have ended in failure”
At Cyrus ‘s words Triton twitches He lifts his head froe sigh
“When I asked for talent, I heard that they were skilled correct?”
“I’m sorry They were indeed talented, all of the escorts were defeated, but unluckily an adventurer was near by, and he defeated the bandits……”
“After all, a bandit is a bandit…… The botto only kept the women alive, they lost due to their own carelessness”
With a bitter expression, lord Triton spit out his criticisreement is seen on the pale-faced Cyrus
“Why does prince Douglass want to sow discord in Rubierute anyway?”
“Well In order for prince Douglass to gain the support of the east he has sent out this dehness’s faction then the east will co to him, and he would be able to pursue Reburan in the ithout worry This would be beneficial to us because trading in the east will be centralized here”
“Rubierute has the support of the west, so it likely to join her highness’s sect Since it hasyet to aligned with a faction, this shouldn’t be publicly know, but ……”
“If this isn’t discovered then it should be fine We must hurry and secure the products You must shi+p them soon We need them delivered to the proper nobles before anyone catches wild of the plan! You must insure that princess Juliana doesn’t find out about this”
Triton’s large body wiggles as he reaches into his desk’s drawer, pulls out a cigar, and lights it Puffs of s Cyrus reports the products’ status
There are 4 products and they are being held in the “storehouse” underground I will go secure the new addition right now……”
“Securing the products is getting harder as well Have the ilance?…… Hurry it up as much as possible I haven’t seen Audrain in a while, how is that fool doing?”
“When I checked in Audrain-sama’s room, he said the the swords used for the product procurement were not satiable for the task”
“That ih to enter the elves’ forest with, anything else would just drag theh, leave”
Upon hearing those words Cyrus gave a gracious bow before quietly leaving the rooar before violently rubbing it out, he then scowled at the documents open on the desk
