Camp (Part 2)

The time of the 5th has pa.s.sed since the 500 strong Imperial Army arrived in the area where the other army will appear.

But they still do not have any battle with their enemies. On the contrary, they could not even capture the enemies.

Rather, although there were reports of the discovery of enemy traces several times by the scout platoon, there was nothing there when they rushed to that place by horse.

As soon as they reached the spot that the scouts had discovered traces of the enemy, they hurried out each time.

As soon as as the scouts discovered traces of the enemy, they hurried to the spot each time. Day and night, no matter how high their morale started off, it was inevitable that the morale declined.

In the first place, the advance party was composed of knights who were taken from the main Knight Order. Needless to say, the advance team was also faced morale problems, much more than the main group.

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; Hey, this time we found an enemy trace to the east.”

“Wasn't it in the west last time? What are you scouts doing?”

“It's not a mistake to check it out, right?”

Every time an order comes down, there are people who b.i.t.c.h about it.Original Google MTL: Every time an order of sorting comes down, there are people who complain of b.i.t.c.hes.

However, they have no choice but to put in the work for the order.

They packed up the simple tents and set off on horseback. However, as before, when they arrived, there were only traces of the enemy, and no enemy to be found.

People began to call for the scouts to take responsibility, but since they did find traces of the enemy, the advance team continued to send reports to the main party.

“&h.e.l.lip; Oita, the sense of tension inside the troops is getting loose”

”Hey, the troops are becoming complacent.”

Royce and Kelvin's tent.

When Kelvin came back after patrolling the camp, Royce did not start eating the meal that Kelvin brought, and instead looked at the doc.u.ments strewn over the simple desk.

”There seemed to be another commotion last night, so it was a pain to defuse the situation.”

Kelvin swings his head in the words of Lloyd’s labor and places his sword on the corner of the tabernacle.

Kelvin shakes his head, lays his sword on the wall of the tent.

“It may be useless if this swing continues,”

”If this goes on, it will all be futile.”

Negative feelings proliferate, and the army's discipline is unraveling.

The intensity of the complaints against the commoners at the end of each expedition revealed their discontent.

A skirmish like a bully to the students of the commoner who is a weak person in the troops, followed by a platoon of people. Kelvin went to arbitrate the fuss because some of the Lloyd’s platoons came involved last night.

Kelvin had to arbitrate and avoid a duel to bully the commoner students who were in Royce's platoon last night.

”Since the morale has fallen, they will begin to complain about the weakest link, since the rift between the n.o.bles and commoners is deep.”

”Especially since this group is made up of people who don't have mainstream frequency, and the captains and other officers are all made up of n.o.bles weakened by their vanity. Well, it's to be expected, but&h.e.l.lip;”

Royce signaled for Kelvin to take a seat, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, and arranged the doc.u.ments spread out in the table. He then put a crystal into his chest.

“Were you communicating with them?”

“There is no problem, I just finished the call”

It was a magic crystal for communication. After imbuing it with magic, and splitting the crystal into two, and it becomes possible to talk with others with each piece. Although it was a highly confidential item, it was very expensive, so it was not very popular. Originally it was a tool that only commanders and important imperial officials could use.

“It seems that the talks have progressed successfully, and the negotiations seems to also be on a travelling s.h.i.+p.”

”So you're trying to get a trump card for certainty?”

”We have to use what we can. It's natural to go for the weak points.”

Kelvin accepted the cup of tea that Royce had poured, and Royce took a bite of the bread that was his supper, which had cooled down on his desk.

”It's tasteless. None of the military rations are delicious, but this is definitely of low quality.”

Frowning, he dipped the hard bread in the cold soup. Kuchakichi(TL: sfx?)

Kelvin sat facing him, and picked up the bowl of cold soup and drank a spoonful with a bitter smile.

The soup had chicken and beans, with only a little seasoning.

“There is also a sideways flow of munitions supplies inside, so whatever you think, there should not be no fraud in the middle now”

”There is also the internal trading of munitions, but there shouldn't be any embezzlement by the middle man.”
