Terrible Enough to Cry
In theroom of Rhuvenns Castle, I received a report from Lianne
General Blois and Baldoir, as well as Adele-san fro their reports
“Fro the reconstruction of Rhuvenns, so it’s going more steady than planned It’s certain to be at least twenty percent over our predictions”
Twenty percent was in relation to food In order to e army, no… in order to move people, food was a necessity For that sake, we had to hurry with the village rebuilding, reconstruction and developress was favorable
But for it to be so s to Lianne’s abilities She had a wide field of view, and securing goods and transportation routes could all be left to her
General Blois seemed impressed as he looked over the report
“Good job taking it this far To be blunt, it was so jumbled, I wouldn’t have been surprised with a twenty percent reduction Well, it’s our luck that our leader Lyle-dono is so knowledgeable about cultivating As expected of a feudal noble, I guess?”
He thought I was lacking in on-site experience, but it seems he had revised his evaluation
From the Jewel, I heard the Third’s voice
『Well, we’ve all taught hi, I’m here for you man Despite how I look, I did do some field work and territory development after all』
The Third was the lord of the tie and experience pertaining to developo to the site to apply it
I looked at General Blois
“How are things on your side, general?”
“Things are going favorably I had my own subordinates from the start, and plenty with achieve, so all that was left was to keep training and heighten e portion of theh”
He had split his forces into three large groups, having them rotate and train on and off
But the Beiathered on Adele-san She looked down a bit
“Things aren’t so good in Beioal”
Baldoir looked at Adele-san
“Eighty percent, is it? I’m sure you were allotted quite a share of hands”
He wasn’t particularily pressing her, but from Adele-san’s point of view, it wasn’t much different
“We’re exercising caution and offering leadershi+p, but their individualistic ”
Prioritizing the, it seeone as planned, but even for sending in support, there were disputes over where they would be sent
Baldoir was mildly fed-up
“Adele-dono, I didn’t want to say it, but I’d like it if you got a grip/”
Fro Adele’s responsibility But the circumstances on the Beim front were a little different When I was about to open h for her, Lianne spoke up first
“It’s because Beim’s form of rule was a peculiar one Up to now, they decided various things by conference, and even if Adele-san gives out orders, I’et out of that habit”
Baldoir didn’t seem to understand
“If it’s s, we have our own”
Lianne smiled
“Theirs were a bit different As they didn’t have any absolute lord, it’stime to fine tune their own claihty percent of schedule could have only be done by Adele-san, or so I’m led to believe”
Lianned looked at me, and I nodded Adele-san looked relieved as well
“Baldoir, Bei well”
Baldoir looked over Adele-san
“My apologies It does seem I didn’t understand the rule of Beim”
Adele-san shook her head to the side
“It’s a fact that eren’t able to reach our goal”
There, Lianne took a report in hand, and perhaps she was calculating in her head as she spoke in regards to food
“About the supplies we’ve got on hand, our purchasing is reaching its lio by these calculations… as I thought, a long-term battle will be harsh”
Maintaining a large army required just that much amount of food
And we didn’t have the necessary sta-term battle
I looked at Lianne
“To what extent can we fight?”
“If all goes well, we’ll soe three months But that’s the limit To be blunt, if you don’t determine the verdict within two months, there will be hard times to coh food to get home”
Adele-san placed a report on the table as she spoke
“… In Bahnsei manpower at such a tiot a food crisis before their eyes It’s questionable how much food is left in Centralle”
There, the Third offered me a serious voice
『Lyle, be careful in choosing your invasion route Play it poorly, and you’ll pass through a nues And if it coers will speak tales of you abandoning thees as much as possible on your march』
As I gripped the Jewel in rew stronger
『This isn’t a game Do you plan to lose to Celes for so your food supplies? If you lose then in the decades to come, people will die on the millions scale』
After so space
“… For our route, rather than the shortest distance, we should choose a route to contain our food consumption We have to consider the worst case where there’s no food in Centralle to take”
Adele-san tilted her head
“Eh? Um… if we don’t choose the shortest route, our supplies won’t hold up”
Once Adele-san had said that much, General Blois nodded with a serious look in his face
“I see, so we’ll be avoiding villages facing famine We’ll have to look into them… how unpleasant”
It seems General Blois understood Lianne was the same
“Considering distance and food expenditure, we need to choose the opties pained by starvation, it will directly affect your reputation It will influence soldierin order to save the continent, for them not to even save the people before their eyes”
Baldoir rubbed the inner corners of his eyes
“… Even if you know the logic behind it, when you see it before your eyes…”
Adele-san tried to say so, but Lianne shut her up with her eyes
I addressed everyone
“We’l have Rauno-sa… Rauno investigate We’ll neede in the next few months”
Like that, thecame to a close

… After the
Adele walked beside Lianne Diagonally behind Lianne, Valkyrie Unit Thirty Four kept herself scarce
Adele spoke as she walked
“For the greatest benefit to Lyle-san’s fa the shortest route, we should distribute food as we head for Centralle”
