Volume 6 Chapter 72 (2/2)

The outer wall surrounding the toasn't tidy but it had rectangle shape

There were gates at four directions We had to place troop there

Who had to be placed where That was also a proble

『It's also a proble the crossbow also takes time, so it isn't likely that it'll be really useful It will be great if there is more of it』

The Second had different opinion

『Is that so? If we have this ht to reload the arrow and hand over the crossbow to the shooter If you exchange the crossbow too after finishi+ng shooting, in theory you'll be able to fire continuously』

The Seventh wasn't energetic for soun Even though it'll be great if it get unpowder Because of that, the way he fought also specialized in using those To put another way, he was inferior cos weren't available

Well……

『I only have idea for several traps Lyle, go ask for bombs to Miranda I want the type that will explode flashi+ly』

It couldn't be said that he was useless though

Morris-san observed my expression

「Ca, can in?」

I declared

「We'll win I'll win and protect the town」

──Clara atching the town's condition

After Lyle's speech, the toas coly People were filled with liveliness

The subjugation force and the townspeople ere disunited were divided into groups to do work or training

Nearby, Sophia was standing with a nervous look

「What's the ht while leading people I, don't have that kind of experience」

The reason of her nervousness was because soldiers, knights, and also volunteering townspeople were assigned to her

In order to protect the four gates, a coned to each of them Morris, Miranda, Aria, Sophia, these four Lyle was the top who commanded the whole troops

「Normsan should be the one placed here」

Sophia complained She was flustered from suddenly placed as a commander

「It's because the command has been handed over to Lyle-san Perhaps he think that the scene will fall into disorder if Normsan comes out?」

「Even so, I think it'll be better thanit There is also Noveether with ic is a precious existence after all」

Novem who could heal and Clara as the driver of Porter would be in rear support Monica and Shannon were also the sa Monica to the front line However, to move this many people, it was difficult to prepare the necessary food and s with human labor

Monica could do it, so Lyle could only put her in charge of the rear support

「I understand that we don't have enough people but,her head at her wits' end Clara gave her a follow up

「Does Sophisan think that Lyle-san place you in command because he has no other choice?」

「……Perhaps Because I'm inferior compared to everyone」

「I am weaker than Sophisan you know?」

「Clarsan can drive Porter I can't do that」

「The right person in the right place Sophisan should be confident Lyle-san should be thinking that if it's Sophisan then you can do it」

Sophia raised her face

「Is that so?」

「Yes There is no doubt」

It wasn't like Lyle had said that directly But, even from Clara's perspective, Sophia as specialized in battle could only be placed here

She was far stronger than even the average knight

「The, then, I'll try doing my best」

「If it's Sophisan you can do it」

Clara thought that if even Sophia couldn't do it, then this battle was already the sae of the positioning Really, why is soot driven out of his house? I can't understand)

Clara was questioning Lyle's action that was like so the outer wall Dig out moat around it』

I listened to the Second's state in front of the prepared athered the appointed supervisors and explained what to do fro

I had to speak simply and clearly

「We'll repair the outer hile creating ainst theMorris-san and the representative of the townspeople starting froround

The visibility was good, and there was also no obstacle at the four directions The difficulty level was high for the defender

『Place traps before the gate When the ene, lure them inside into the trap』

「After that, we'll create traps inside the town When the ene, lure them in and use the trap to repulse them」

There wasn't a lot that we could do I heard froriffon still wasn'tHowever, there wouldn't even be one week before they startedpointed at thehis opinion

「In that case we should prepare more traps Let's create a watchtower here, and then let's also place a trap here If we destroy the building──」

The townspeople who heard that opposed that suggestion

「It'll be troubling if you create soe there is few If you destroy the building, on'tbe able to live there!」

「The ene! This isn't the ti our livelihood!」

It was getting rough so I clapped ather everyone's attention

『Lyle, the material and manpower are limited Tell them that even just this much is the limit Anyone can speak about the ideal Teach them that we can only do e can』

「Our material aren't sufficient for more than this Besides, the tie that this is the liht fell silent Even I wanted to harden our defense and armed everyone as much as possible to feel a peace of mind But, e could do was limited

The townspeople questioned h?」

「We won't dig too deep, it's fine to just do it asus I'll ask her to help」

I ended up relying on Noveician's Village” but, is it okay?」

His fellow knight laughed teasingly at hi that kind of fairy-tale?」

There was also quarrel breaking out at the ether with Luka

Shannon as useless to begin with could do nothing except staying quite Even if there was so that she would be able to do, it would be for later

Shannon was reading a picture book together with Luka as like a little brother

「Shannon-sae”?」

「Oh, you don't even know that? Very well, I'll teach you」

Shannon was obtaining the feeling of superiority as the older one while talking to Luka about Magician's Village

(Fufu, I know because I asked Onee-sama to read me the picture book Good job, me!)

Inside her heart she praised her past self as listening to Miranda's story in the past

「In the past, there was a se was poor There was also little food so everyday was hard A ician was ae he created houses and fare fields for all the villagers」

「He was really kind person!」

Seeing Luka happy ician also felt happy at first And so, he worked even harder for the village's sake The village becaer and really prosperous」

「How nice」

「But you see, before long the villagers were gradually getting reliant on the er hoers who tasted luxury becaranted all their wish, they became spoiled」

「A, and, what happened next?」

「……Thehe was an oldof who to rely on next」

「That's terrible」

「That's right Because they were terrible they got punished The village that got big due to ht the eyes of an evil God The evil God caers had never worked until then so they found it difficult to even cultivate the field Because they had known luxury they lae becaician caot scared

「An evil God caic Then the evil God will come?」

Shannon was amused by that purity that caht get eaten when the evil God co at the scared Luka, but there Novem came She spoke to Luka with a smile

「It'll be fine」

「Ah, Novem-sama!」

When Luka looked happy with Novem's arrival, Shannon felt like her little brother had been taken away and got miffed

Novem talked about that fairy-tale

「The evil God destroyed the village that the hty The evil God won't co hard to protect a town like Lyle-sama」

「Really?」

「Yes, it'll be fine Besides, the ”Magician's Village” will be destroyed even if the evil God didn't come」

Shannon tilted her head

「Is that so?」

Novem nodded

「After all this fairy-tale is a story of warning that you will beco co, even Shannon

「……Eh? Then, isn't the entrance of the evil God unneeded?」

Noveht But, this kind of story sometimes is based on true story, so perhaps the people of the past ot their ”country” destroyed by an evil God」

Luka was getting scared again, so Noveht once more to cal with Luka evenother children

Shannon atching that felt soely kind to Luka Even so, why did she say ”country” and not village? Even though it's a story of……Well, it doesn'tout of place seeing Nove affectionate to Luka like this, al Shannon's disposition wasn't good at thinking deeply She immediately beca the next day of theco over the town froht that it was a s of ”protecting” it, it looked really big

I got worried whether I would really be able to protect this town to the end

「Lyle-san, the workers who drank the water I prepared collapsed fro

I held my head

「I told theic! I told them that clearly didn't I!?」

「It seeht They said that their body isn't that soft and drank the water Please send Novem-san to them」

I asked Clarsan to prepare water and hot water for people to clean their body I had told the workers thoroughly that water created froic would break the sto my dissatisfaction to the workers

Next Arisan climbed on the roof

「Lyle, there was a dispute and so!?」

「No, they said so corners in the work」

I covered my face with both hands

「……This kind of report keeps co」

……It made me anxious whether ould really be able to protect the city and defeated the griffon

This kind of report was co in one after another

「……Nove, so wait for a bit ic in order to create moat That as the priority If they weren't in a situation where they would die soon, then I could only ask them to endure

Clarsan made a troubled face

「Then I'll treat them normally, but their return to ill be delayed The work efficiency will fall」

Just what should I do?

While I was feeling troubled, the ancestors were talking

『It's nostalgic It was also difficult atatching this as third person! I couldn't laugh at the slightest when going through this hardshi+p on h』

『They'll do it even when told not to I also had it hard』

『……If it was ht yell at thery However like this……it's funny!』

『It's funnier than the average coh even louder exactly because I can understand the feeling』

Perhaps because they were in the position of only giving advice, the ancestors were laughing

I couldn't laugh at the slightest

「If it's like this should I go out to workthat

「It will be troubling if another report come and Lyle-san isn't here If possible I wish you will stay here」

Arisan was also troubled

「Also, it's also terrible at Sophia's place I also have no leeway, so can Lyle cover for her? You know, that girl is too serious so she'll force herself to e somehow」

Even I wanted to cover up for her However, the reports kept co one after another that I couldn't ood if I don't have Noveood, there is only the useless Shannon left」

Even while at ave the two their instruction and they left I sat down on the spot

「……Why isn't things going well?」

The Third spoke happily

『Have you learned slightly froirls around Lyle are all capable isn't it?』

Could it be, the ancestors were telling me to accept the request this time was in order to teach

『It's great that you properly had each person sign the contract If you only had the right of command transferred to you, there also will be people who cohty』

The big reason we purposefully ned a contract was in order to make it clear to the money

It was done in order to make them think that they would be able to receive reward if they listened toWill it be alright?」

『There is no probleation with that¸ is not so that I can say but, if there's a 』

Surely he waseerily was scary

I stood up to think about the ry and stop their work though~」

Evsan clih, spare me already you all
