Chapter 20: The Allied Forces' Main Camp

It will be a few more days before the peace conference. Until then, I will let you teach me more about the goodness of Nambonan.

The look on Anna's face at the moment it was confirmed that she was going to be raped for some time to come was so cute that I wondered if I could have another round.

I finished my deed, put back my disordered clothes, and left the small room, where my guards were waiting for me.

Apparently, they were waiting for me to finish my act.

All of them, including the guests.

I was so rude to you, but as the girl said, I judge that you were deceived by the liquor. But it won't happen again.”

An air of relief spread through the room, and at the same time, there were voices of gratitude and concern for Anna.

Anna is still holed up in the small room.When I left the room, she seemed to be crying, her voice stifled.

Behind the door is a beautiful woman stained with white fluid. I couldn't afford to arouse the lust of male customers, so I gave the owner strict orders not to let anyone near her for a while.

I was curious about something, so I decided to ask the owner about it.

Is she single?”

A 26-year-old woman is considered a retard in this world.

Despite Anna's beauty and good body, she did not look like she was married or had a partner committed to marriage.The reason why I thought so was because she had normal pubic hair.

There is a custom around here for women who are married or have a committed lover to shave their pubic hair.

I don't know if it is on a global level, but at least in the Levios Kingdom and the Zincaen Empire, the shaving culture was widespread.

So, if men in the empire or kingdom want to know if a woman they are interested in is free, they can ask her to show them her cunt and they will know in one shot. It would probably be faster to ask her directly if she has a boyfriend.

Ha, yes!”Anna's husband died in an epidemic two years ago! Yes, sir!”

The shopkeeper speaks frantically while her voice is backward from nervousness.

How could a good woman like Anna be unmarried, after all? She was a non-virgin, after all.

I returned to the main camp of the Quardenze allied forces deployed in the city and let them cleanse themselves with a wet cloth.

It's too bad I can't take a hot bath, but it seems that the public bathhouses in Nambonan are closed for business now that the city has fallen.

I could easily make a makeshift open-air bath using magic, but my adjutant told me that the soldiers would take advantage of me if they found out I was taking a carefree bath on the battlefield, so I could not do that either.

Unfortunately, the bath was postponed.

As the daylight hours are passing and night is drawing near, I have nothing to do, so I wander around the main camp.

I went to check on the soldiers I had taken care of, and I walked around looking at the soldiers led by my grandfather and the knights who were associated with Quardenze.

The soldiers, who had nothing better to do, were spending their free time with prostitutes, drinking, and doing whatever they wanted to do.

With such a large number of soldiers moving about, prostitutes and peddlers would follow the army on their own and start doing business.

If I had held the prostitutes in the main camp, Anna would not have had to suffer, but I was a little nervous about dealing with professional women, and above all, there were no women of my favorite type, so I went all the way into the city.

When I spoke with the prostitutes, they told me that because the soldiers would immediately rush to the city just because they were women, the prostitutes in Nambonan whose faces and services were not so good would go all the way to the main camp in the city to sneak in and make some money.

The soldiers who are stationed at key points in the city are forbidden to act arbitrarily, so they look forward to their shift change time with the soldiers in the main camp.

I wondered if the people in the occupied city could come to the main camp so easily, but I guess they are doing a good job of that.

Even if they tried to escape through the main camp, their escape routes were limited by the water moat created by drawing water from a large river.

The atmosphere around the main camp was a little festive and joyful.

“Wilk-dono. Are you inspecting the camp?

I turned around and there was Viscount Galiana.

Somehow, I feel that the encounter rate with this person is high.

Yes, I have nothing to do, and I'm bored out of my mind.

In my room at New Nellie Castle, I would read the materials in the storehouse or the books I bought at the market, but there are no books here.

Even if there were books, he would not be able to read them in the main camp.

But even in a world where there is no entertainment, it is a real waste of time if you can't even read a book.

I see. Then why don't you come to my camp? I just got a very good bottle of sake in the city a few days ago.

“Oh? Is Mister Dean Rissi not here?

If he's my son, he's holed up in his tent her right now.He is probably more interested in talking with his young daughter her than with his father her.He has gone to the trouble of bringing her from the castle.

Viscount Galiana laughs.

It seems that Deanlissi, who was in his first battle with me, is having a lot of fun with his favorite girl.

I would have brought Eve with me if time permitted.

Many of the neighboring nobles of the Quordentse lands, including Viscount Galiana, gathered for the Nambonan campaign this time.

However, most of the forces of the neighboring nobles were only a token participation.

They were small in number, and while the Quardenze family army numbered 60,000 men, the armies of the other families numbered only about 10,000 men in total. Each noble family has sent out only a little less than 1,000 soldiers.

What they came to do was to have their children make their first battle.

Nobles who have sons want them to make their first battle in the safest war possible.

In this respect, the battle for Nambonan was the best.

Nambonan is a well-known city in both the empire and the kingdom, so it sounded good to have the first battle there.

From a safety standpoint, the area around Nambonan was already in the territory of Quardenze, so the route would be safe, and since there were no noble lords among the enemies, no one with great magical power, and the general-in-chief was General Gulfis, who was known for his constant victories.

When my father extended an invitation to the neighboring nobles, saying, “If you want to join us for the first battle, you are welcome to do so,” It seems that quite a number of nobles gathered.

My father did not elaborate on why he went to the trouble of making such an invitation, but he had a strangely wicked look on his face, so I guessed that a nobleman's scheme was stirring in the air.

The other family's army had fewer men, so even though they left later than we did, they arrived there earlier than we did. I didn't think they even had time to bring their favorite mistress.

And so, the Quardenze army nominally became the Quardenze Allied Army, and they hoped to fight the Battle of Nambonan.

The way Viscount Galiana had invited them, it would not be noble to forcibly refuse their offer.

Besides, there was no reason to refuse.

I answered with a smile.

I see. Then I would like to accompany you. I would like to ask you some questions about Nambonan.

I was sure that Viscount Galiana, a former member of the Nambonan council, would have some interesting things to tell me.

I was led into the Viscount's tent.

I heard rumors circulating among the citizens that a blue ogre had appeared in the tavern.

The amber liquor was poured into polished metal goblets, and at the same time as we toasted, Viscount Galiana opened her mouth.

Nambonan seems to be completely frightened by the red and blue ogres staring at him.”

I drank my sake while thinking about how I should react to Viscount Galiana's words his.

The taste was similar to that of apricot wine, if you compare it to the wine of your previous life.

……Did Viscount Galiana remain in the city for a while?

He entered the city with me this morning.

I returned to the main camp before lunch, so if Viscount Galiana had heard the rumors, it is highly likely that he had been in the city for a long time.

Yes,” He said, “I was in the city for lunch and dinner. I had lunch and dinner in the city. We ate secretly at a diner where the citizens gathered, and I heard many interesting stories.

A story about a bar idol who was raped?

I heard that someone in the tavern was plotting a rebellion against the Quordenze allied forces, and that a blue devil who happened to hear about it became enraged and immediately cut off the ringleader's head.

What?

“Perhaps the ringleader's blood was n't enough to cool his anger his, so the blue devil then turned his sword on the guests in attendance and unleashed his magic power his.

“Eh,……”

The girl who was the signboard girl of the bar bravely stood in front of the blue devil as the overwhelming magical power covered the bar and calmed his anger by showing that she had no intention of rebellion by talking about her love for her for her hometown of Nambonan.

The way he treated her was completely haunted.Is it not a mistake to see her position as a …… Noble from a commoner's point of view?

According to Viscount Galiana, the city's eateries were full of rumors about it.

With a wry smile, Viscount Galiana continued.

So, what is the truth behind the rumors?

He has the look of a man who completely knows that I am the one behind the rumors.

However, rather than pursuing the truth, his face was more like he was broaching the subject as a topic for conversation.

'Haha, the content seems a bit extreme. I'm afraid of gossip.'

I told him about the Nambonan Success Story that Anna had told me about, and then I made some tea.

From there, I let the conversation drift in the direction of the Nambonan Council.

I heard that Viscount Galiana used to be a member of the Nambonan Council. I don't know much about the Council, so may I ask what kind of organization it is?

Of course.

Viscount Galiana began to talk with a slightly smug look on his face.

The Nambonan Supreme Decision-Making Body, the Council.

This is a council organization consisting of 10 council members.

One councilor per district is elected by the citizens. Since the city is divided into five districts in total, five council members are elected.

The remaining five seats are then appointed by discussion among the five elected representatives.

Since commerce takes precedence in Nambonan, it is customary for the five seats to be filled by big businessmen.

The first five councilors to be chosen by …… Are chosen for their popularity with the citizens, their popularity, and their virtue. That person can be trusted.

I don't know who would be the best person to choose, even if you ask me to choose someone who knows how to run a city,” He said.

But Mr. A, who lives in the neighborhood, is a very good person and has a wide network of contacts.

If that is the case, we can rest assured that Mr. A will choose someone who knows how to run a city.

It seems that the idea of ​​…… Is at the root of Nambonan's civil administration.

In this case, Mr. A is elected and becomes a council member, and Mr. B, who has wisdom and knowledge, is appointed by Mr. A to become a council member.

From the citizens' point of view, all they had to do was to vote for the “Trustworthy person as a human being” In their district for the time being.

The actual running of the city was mostly carried on by the five nominated council members chosen by them.

Because the power as a council member is equal for both elected and appointed council members, only five votes are required for a decision to be made by the appointed council members alone.

Since a majority is required to pass a resolution, it requires the affirmative vote of at least one elected councilor. Policies that put too much priority on commerce and disdain for the citizens will be rejected, said Viscount Galiana.

As I nodded my head, the waiter poured drinks into my empty goblet.

The waiter poured the empty goblet and asked, “How do you evaluate the council's choice of this outcome, Lord Wilk?”

Viscount Galiana's eyes as he looked at me became serious.

It was like the gaze of a merchant trying to determine the value of his opponent.I decided that I could not give a careless answer.

Now, what should I say?
