Yuno’s rapid advance (2)

Yuno, who easily captured the Grime territory, gathered his soldiers and praised their hard work.

“Gentlemen! Thank you for your hard work. Today I won easily because my opponent was not on guard, but this was also possible because you guys endured the difficult training with me”

At Yuno’s speech, the soldiers showed proud expressions as if they were reminded of the grueling training of the past few months, but it seemed difficult to hide the bitter smiles on their lips.

“With today’s victory, we have hit the first button well. You’ve worked hard during your training, and I’ve ordered Count Grime’s warehouse to be raided and provided with special meals, so that the rest of the team, except for the guard troops, can eat well and rest! A little drinking is also permitted. I won’t be able to experience this kind of comfortable rest again”

Perfect!

When Yuno snapped his fingers, the Grime soldiers in charge of cooking grunted and distributed the huge amount of food they had brought.

Since the food was prepared by soldiers, it was not much different from what soldiers in the Yuno Territory usually ate, but the quality was high as it was used to make food for the lord, and the seasoning was also used sparingly, so the soldiers smelled the food. I went crazy and immediately rushed to the food and started eating it.

“Cheer…Eat slowly!! We have prepared a lot!”

The tens and hundreds of commanders tried to stop them, but the soldiers who had food in front of them ate it without listening to the commander’s control.

“You can eat as much food as you want, but alcohol is limited to two drinks per person! Anyone who gets caught eating more will have his head cut off according to military rules, so do your own thing!”

“If you eat so quickly and pass out from exhaustion, I will run around until you vomit everything you ate!!”

When McMorin and Gerard, the commanders of each unit who were embarrassed to show that appearance in front of Yuno, drew their swords and began to take control, they still came to their senses to some extent and slowed down their eating speed a little.

As the soldiers got food and alcohol into their stomachs, their tense bodies from their first battle began to relax. Only then did they feel the fatigue of marching all night, so they fell to the ground one by one and fell asleep.

Yuno asked Mayer with a disgusted expression as she looked at the soldiers who looked like a flock of monkfish.

“This is so… Mayer. Did I usually provide little food to the soldiers?”

“That’s not true… But aren’t soldiers always hungry anytime, anywhere? Hahaha”

Yuno once again realized the significance food had on the morale of soldiers and gave additional instructions to Mayer.

“Hmm~ Well, I guess that’s it. Always provide ample rations to the soldiers. Since we have to move to supply the enemy anyway, isn’t there going to be ample food supply??”

“Yes. Don’t worry. We will distribute any remaining food to nearby residents to secure public support. The cooperation of the people of the empire is the most important factor in carrying out guerrilla warfare”

“Good. Then, as originally planned, I will move to the eastern region, and I will only trust Mayer here. Please, Mayer~”

“Phew~ When this war is over, I’ll just receive a reward and I’ll really retire, so I’ll send my resignation letter or something…”

“Aaaah, I can’t hear you~~ Sister Isabella~ Get ready to move through space~”

“Your Highness? Your Majesty!!”

Mayer kept saying he was quitting these days, but although he had many talented people under him, he had yet to find a commander and strategist as good as Mayer, so Yuno had no intention of accepting his resignation letter.

‘Well, there might be someone more talented than Mayer in the future… Then why let them go when there are two great strategists?’

Ignoring Mayer’s screams, Yuno and the others traveled through space and headed to the Windrage territory.

Their vision darkened and then brightened, and they could see numerous nobles paying their respects, as well as knights standing in line on both sides of the red carpet road in front of them, giving their swords.

“Welcome. His Majesty the Third Prince. I was waiting like this when I heard you were coming”

And when Yuno and his party came forward, right in front of the space movement magic circle, Marquis Duca, the third highest noble in the Prinz faction after Duke Windrage, bowed and bowed.

“Hahaha, I am grateful, but why did you do this? It’s already a busy morning with work, so everyone please return to your positions. ah! There is only one person left, so please guide me to my brother’s office”

“Yes, Your Highness”

A grand welcome ceremony was prepared, but when the third prince’s response was lukewarm, the nobles headed to their workplaces with sad faces.

‘Isn’t His Highness the Third Prince’s reaction very strange?’

‘Is it true that His Majesty Prinz persuaded you? Aren’t we being stabbed in the back after entrusting him with the position of commander-in-chief?’

‘No matter what, Heinrich and I have been enemies since the time of the imperial palace, so I couldn’t believe I ended up on that side. You actually came this far.’

‘Ah~ What’s your business in front of power? People like us follow His Highness Prinz for justice, but His Highness Yuno might do the same.’

‘Tsk tsk, what kind of justice are you talking about fighting for? Heinrich’s side already had no seats, so he stayed here.’

‘Uh-huh~ This person?’

Yuno could not hide a bitter smile as he heard the whispering sounds of the departing nobles reaching his ears.

‘The nobles who followed you didn’t come with great expectations of justice. I already knew, but hearing this actually makes me feel mixed… Of course, there are people who don’t… Just like that person.’

Where Yuno’s eyes turned, he saw a young nobleman observing him with shining eyes. Since he seemed to be the one guiding her, Yuno approached him first.

“Are you the one who will guide me to my brother? What is your name?”

“Meeting His Highness the Third Prince. He is said to be Viscount Leverkin, who is in charge of the Crown Prince’s affairs”

“Ah~ You are the bold schemer who sent your brother on an errand to get you coffee. I heard about it from my brother. Please take care of me in the future”

Viscount Leverkin took Juno’s outstretched hand and shook it vigorously.

“Yes. Please take care of me. Your Majesty”

“Then let’s go. If there is a suitable stall along the way, can I buy something to eat there? I haven’t eaten anything since last night, so I’m a little hungry”

‘Hmm~ Just like His Highness the Crown Prince said, he is a person who is not particularly formal with his subordinates… I’ll have to wait and see… but the first impression is not bad.’

Baron Leverkin was lost in thought as he watched Juno buying some bread from a street vendor on the road to Windrage’s residence and sharing it with his companions.

Yesterday, when Prinz announced that he would make Yuno the commander-in-chief and entrust the military to him as soon as he returned from the Teshidanikana territory, the Prinz faction was shocked.

There was opposition from numerous nobles, but Prinz pushed his opinion, citing the strength of Juno’s territory army and the fact that it was Juno, not him, who actually led the army during the battle to occupy Streve.

Although some disappointed nobles withdrew from the coalition along with their troops, Prinz did not change his opinion.

The book photos, including that of Viscount Leverkin, were equally perplexing, but I thought there must have been a reason why Prinz, who was good at people, recommended Juno as commander-in-chief, and he decided to work by Juno’s side and evaluate Juno’s abilities before the full-scale war. I decided.

“Brother! I’m here!”

“Oh! Yuno is here. okay. I heard that Grime territory was safely occupied. Looks like you took your first step well”

“Yes. older brother. From today onwards, I will do my best as the commander-in-chief of my brother’s army”

“Hahaha, don’t put too much effort into it already. Wouldn’t it be possible to lose strength later?”

“No. From now on, I would like to receive full authority over the training of soldiers”

“Huh? Not command authority? Can’t we just give instructions to each commander for training?”

“No. Please gather not only regular soldiers but also all friendly soldiers in this Wind Rage territory, excluding those on the Eastern Front. And we will gather them all together and train them”

“Huh? That much?”

Since most of the soldiers here were private soldiers brought in by nobles, they were not pleased with the pale young Yuno becoming commander-in-chief.

Moreover, it was very clear that the nobles would object if he asked them to hand over their soldiers when the war had not yet started in earnest, but Prinz had an embarrassed expression because he had no choice but to grant Yuno’s strong demands.

“Well… if you’re having a hard time, I’ll collect it myself. Still, it was you who brought me here, so if any nobles come to you crying, I would ask you to comfort them”

“Huh? You came to me crying? To me?”

Prinz tilted the whale as he saw Yuno speaking incomprehensibly, but Yuno just smiled and did not answer.

In addition, Yuno also requested authority over the food distributed to the soldiers, and Prinz decided to grant all of Yuno’s requests since this was going to happen anyway, so he wrote a deed transferring authority over the food warehouse to Yuno. .

“Thank you, brother. I will definitely dedicate victory to my brother who has been looking forward to it”

“Hahaha, I am so thankful, even if just for the sake of my heart. I don’t know what you’ll do, but… this guy will believe in you until the end. And I will definitely make you the emperor of this empire!!”

The brothers shook hands again and looked into each other’s eyes, confirming once again the will to win in each other’s hearts.

Yuno, who made additional requests to Prinz and got them all approved, left the office with a satisfied smile and returned to the room assigned to him.
