Prinz’s visit (2)

next day. Prinz rode around on horseback with Yunas and freely roamed throughout Yuno’s territory.

Prinz, who was smiling as he saw food piled up in the warehouse and the energetic appearance of the territory’s residents, walked towards the military training center in the Yuno territory.

First, Prinz, who had been impressed by the cavalry of the two hundred troops trained by Cordelia in the Tesseito style, was completely amazed when he came here.

“Huh~ There was a reason why Yuno confidently said he would participate in the war!”

In Prinz’s eyes, soldiers who looked tougher than any soldiers he had ever seen were training and sweating profusely.

Although they were poorly armed, perhaps due to the limitations of local private soldiers, the heat and passion of the soldiers undergoing training impressed even him watching through the wall.

“That’s really amazing. At this rate, if we provide armed support, we have a chance of winning even if we face the imperial army head-on”

“Hahaha that’s right. If you’re fighting one-on-one, you’ll be able to fight against any soldier. I have trained my physical strength to a level that is comparable to that of knights”

Prinz turned the whale around at the sound of a voice coming from next to him.

“Huh? What about you? Isn’t he the one who served as temporary commander instead of Yuno during the last Battle of Streve? You were here? ”

“Yes, that’s right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I’m honored that you remember. My name is Mayer and I am the commander of the garrison of the territory under His Majesty the Third Prince and in charge of military training”

“Okay, Mayer. Nice to meet you. The conducting at that time was quite impressive. By the way, training the soldiers that much… was that your idea?”

“No. I just train my body according to the guidelines given by His Highness Yuno. We are just training them so that they can respond on their own in case of an emergency by mixing in some tactical training and mobile tactics.

“Hmm… I see. Still, it’s really great. This is my first time seeing soldiers who show such passion for training. How on earth did you train it?”

“Hahaha we only gave the soldiers a little motivation. The person with the greatest physical strength within each corps is selected, and is given an armband called a special soldier and an additional 20% pay compared to regular soldiers. Instead, you can measure your physical strength again every month and change it at any time. And the soldiers with the worst physical fitness records were given additional training every day, so they trained hard on their own”

“Is that also Yuno’s idea?”

“Yes, that’s right. Moreover, His Highness Yuno always participates in the soldiers’ training, leading by example and running at the front. Sometimes, he participates in camp training and even rolls around in the mud with them. Even though he said he would not use mana and always wore a mana seal bracelet and played with his soldiers, he never allowed us to come in first place”

“Huh~ It’s Yunoro after all. amazing. Really”

“In addition, His Highness Yuno promised that if a soldier with better records than himself was found, he would be given a rank of nobility, so the soldiers gritted their teeth and ran”

While listening to Mayer’s explanation, Prinz’s eyes widened at the huge number of soldiers pouring out of the barracks while inspecting Yuno’s army.

“Ah… how many people are there? I expected about a thousand people, but there were only two hundred cavalry and this…?”

“Currently, there are 3,000 soldiers who have completed military training, and they are forming a 1,000-man corps of 1,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 light infantry. In addition, we are training 1,000 new soldiers starting this month, but the supply of weapons is delayed, so we are training mainly on physical strength, excluding military type training.”

“Hmm… I guess I can help you with that. After I return, I will send you the remaining equipment through space transfer. If there were about 1,000 light infantry equipment, we would be able to supply them through spatial movement. By the way, are there no archers? Actually, it would be difficult to train archers in a short period of time”

“If you support us with equipment, we will be able to turn you into a great soldier really quickly. And archers were excluded because they can mobilize Monster Mountain rangers. As you said, it is a difficult type of soldier to train in a short period of time”

“You’re mobilizing rangers? Then, if monsters enter the territory, wouldn’t there be a lot of damage?”

“Ah… That’s because there are mercenaries currently guarding our territory…”

“Mercenary? Are there such large-scale mercenary groups coming into this mountain valley? Besides, why hire mercenaries when you have such a great military?”

When he was defeated in the last battle with Heinrich, he had experienced painfully how difficult mercenaries were to gather, so he was surprised that Juno had hired mercenaries.

“Hahaha…. If you go to the Ranger Headquarters, you will naturally find out”

As Mayer avoided answering, Prinz became even more curious about what kind of mercenary he had hired. Therefore, Prinz sent only Yunas to ask for understanding for the originally scheduled lunch with Yuno, and then quickly rode his horse to the Ranger headquarters at the beginning of the Monster Mountains.

“I… Your Highness! Ugh, why are you talking so fast? Looking at this, it seems that it is not for nothing that His Highness Yuno has an impatient personality”

Mayer could be heard muttering behind him, but Prinz ignored him, got off his horse, and headed toward the guard post where the rangers were standing guard.

“Stop!! Please identify yourself!! From here on, unauthorized persons cannot enter!”

“I am Mayer! There is also an identification card here, so check it”

William, who clearly knew his face, had received word from Juno yesterday that the crown prince might visit, and ordered him to stand guard unconditionally according to the manual, and Prinz was impressed once again as he watched the rangers check his identity in detail.

‘Maybe it’s because it’s a territory ruled by Yuno, but everyone is working reliably. It is clear that if Yuno becomes emperor, he will make the entire empire like this.’

Although there was a slight misunderstanding, the rangers acted extremely surprised after checking Prinz’s identification card, further deepening Prinz’s illusion, and he felt that his faith in his younger brother was becoming stronger.

“Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! My name is William, and I am leading the mountain rangers of Tesida Nikana Territory”

“Nice to meet you. William. The rangers’ discipline was really well established. I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work leading the rangers and protecting the outskirts of the empire.”

“Thank you. majesty. It is not the hard work of just one person, but the hard work of everyone who makes up this territory. We are able to protect this place with peace of mind thanks to the rangers working hard on guard and the territory residents behind the scenes providing our support.”

“Hahaha That’s true, but how does that diminish your merit? Excessive humility is also proportional”

“I will keep this in mind. Your Majesty”

Following William’s guidance, Prinz checked the anti-monster weapons and the rangers’ armament at the guard headquarters, then returned to William’s office and briefly talked over tea.

“By the way, according to Mayer, in times of emergency, rangers may participate as archers in the territory… Is that okay?”

“Yes. That friend is right. Even if we are away, the powerful mercenaries who are still hunting monsters in the forest are on our side”

“Earlier, Mayer said there was a mercenary, but he didn’t tell us his identity… Who on earth is that mercenary? They are mercenaries who will go anywhere for money, so they would absolutely prefer doing various jobs in the capital rather than being in the woods…”

“Hahaha Your Majesty is curious, so I guess I should introduce it to you now. Please wait a moment”

After briefly asking for understanding, William stood up, went to the window, and blew hard on the small flute hanging around his neck.

BEEEICK!!

After a high-pitched, tearing sound rang out from a small flute, Prinz felt a large vibration beneath his feet.

“This…is this? Aren’t monsters attacking? Are you saying the monsters reacted to the sound of the flute?”

However, none of the rangers in the headquarters office took any action, and some rangers were seen resting outside and playing ball, so Prinz had to hold his head in confusion.

“Kwaaa!!”

And when three huge trolls appeared outside the window with a huge roar, Prinz pulled out the sword he had on his waist for self-defense.

“What are you doing? You’re a troll!! Kill that troll right now…”

“Crung! A long time! William! What did you call me for? There was no separate contact from Yuno and Miri”

However, when human words flowed from the mouth of the largest troll standing in front of him and the troll shook William’s hand in a friendly manner, Prinz’s jaw hung wide open and he did not know how to go up.

“Nice to meet you. Ahjin. It’s not a big deal, His Highness Yuno’s brother here said he wanted to see you, so he called. If you are my master’s older brother, wouldn’t it be better to reveal your face?”

“Creung. That’s right. nice to meet. I am Ajin. Although I am Yuno-sama’s older brother, I only serve Miri’s husband, Yuno-nim and his females. So I won’t give a separate example”

It is said that the giant troll speaks human language and serves Yuno, and when Mayer asks to see the bougie from next to him, Ajin raises an ax and creates boogi, and Prinz realizes that he is a master troll who speaks human language. I lost consciousness while standing due to the excessive shock of the fact that it was being destroyed.

“I…Your Highness!! Come to your senses!! Your Majesty!!”

“Crrr! Yuno-sama’s older brother is such a weak person! Shouldn’t we feed them more meat?”

“Ajin! This is not the time. If this person dies here, who do you think is responsible? Go right now and bring me cold water!!”

After hearing Mayer and William’s words, Ajin thought that she might be reprimanded by Miri, so she ran as fast as she could, filled her large hands with river water, and splashed it on Prinz’s face, which had fainted.

“Fuuup!!! Hehehehehehe… Oh, Mayer… I’m sorry about this. I must have been in a state of despair… A troll speaking human language was spewing black energy from its axe… I had a very bad dream. Hahaha”

“Crrr! A human called Yuno-sama’s older brother! I think it would be a good idea to train your body more! If you want, I will give you some healthy ogre meat”

“Huhhh!!”

In the reality that it was not a dream, Prinz felt his heart attack again, which was not good at first, and he almost fainted once again. The situation calmed down when Ah-jin brought him some herbs containing tranquilizers and fed him them.

‘Whoa~ Really… this Balkan… no, the strongest territory in the entire continent was none other than this place. I couldn’t even imagine that it was a territory with five masters. In addition, 4,000 strong soldiers, 500 veteran elite soldiers, 200 Taeseito-style cavalry units, and 30 troll units….’

Thinking that he could not guarantee victory even in a battle with the 20,000 troops he led, Prinz planned to take revenge on Heinrich, saying that it was a godsend that he personally came here and attracted Juno to his side. I remembered them one by one in my head.
