I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 439

"Hey, there's too much paperwork...."

"That's right, Ars. I left Fontana's domestic work behind from the end of last autumn until spring. It's only natural that there's a lot of work."

"Maybe, but there was Leon and Kyle in Fontana, so there's never been so much paperwork, is there?

"Listen carefully. Work is fundamentally plain. As the prime minister and general of this country, Ars is in fact entrusted with the country's movements, so it is natural that there is a lot of work like this."

"Of course you're right. I've been working a little bit further east, so why don't you work for me, Mr. Leon?

"... in your words, do you know how little Arus has done over there?

"Well, yeah, well. It's not that I don't understand."

"I'm sure it's true. If the Church is right to know that Arus was Oriental, it would be no surprise that he was recognized as an enemy of God, just like Najah."

The season is already spring and the climate is warm.

I came back with Oriental Expeditionaries like me and my part-time brother, who couldn't return with the Forward Stones, and I thought I could finally grow my feathers.

I was thinking of inviting Lillina to a hot spring inn, and Rion called me back to Fontana, where I was being chased back to work.

Important projects that should be settled are summarized as documents, but they came in so many cases that they were likely to cause headaches.

Leon tells me to look at it and puke.

Indeed, Leon was quite reckless in the east, as he said.

I was only on my way home from Tanatos, but I thought I had a fight with a country in the east, and I made a deal with the other party.

Besides, it has to be said that the transaction details are grey, which is close to black.

After all, I spread the magic by naming the church without permission.

There was no church-like organization in the East.

No, they say there is a religious organization.

However, there was no organization that used magic systems such as naming and magic paths.

That's why I got in there and ate the church's profits first.

If the church finds out about it, it will undoubtedly be angry.

That's why, for convenience, the variant is not my territory, but the outpost in Atmos's Castle offensive defense, leaving the ruler to the locals.

That's where our local allies are, not our territory.

Therefore, the Church cannot actively cooperate with the advance of the Fontana Kingdom to the east and has no responsibility whatsoever.

That is, whatever is happening over there, I don't care.

Few people in the church know that I can name them.

The rare exception, Archbishop Paul, pays a large sum of money while providing a copy of an Oriental religious book that Charlotte gave to him.

It should be okay for now.

Well, it's also a fact that you can't escape in the sense that you're doing the same thing as Naja.

There is no difference in using the magic team of naming rituals on its own.

Don't bother getting certified as God's enemy.

"But Najah is also a bit moody."

"Yes, the Marshall mercenary regiment led by Naja is still alive. Sometimes it was too late to be recognized as an enemy of God, and it seems to have consolidated its defenses around the castle under its control."

I wonder if the information we circulated from behind turned into revenge?

"That's right. It seems that the nobles and knights succumbed as a result of the fact that Naja's [Collection] deprived them of their inheritance rather than their magic."

"... did I miss you? I don't know if the stolen inheritance will return or be lost when Naja is defeated. Well, when you hear that, you won't be willing to fight for yourself. It's a smarter choice to wait for someone with courage to take care of Naja."

"Besides, the Guinean house closest to the Marshall Mercenaries hasn't moved."

Discuss the information Leon gathered.

Now Naja, the enemy of God and demon king, was stared at by the church and thought it was no longer a headlight.

In fact, he seems to have survived the winter.

The church identified Najah as an enemy of God and ran a bounty.

It seems that a significant number of mercenary regiments have escaped.

but it will also reveal another side.

The rest of the mercenary regiment is only a cadre who can't even escape with a bounty neck and only members who can follow it, so it seems that the bond has been consolidated.

And it seems that such a core group is threatening unstoppable mercenaries and preventing them from escaping.

They created a situation where they could not be emotionally separated due to immediate physical advantages such as gold and alcohol, and where they could not escape by threatening the families of mercenaries.

As a result, the Marshall Mercenaries, driven by a backwater formation, fought in unison against the attacking forces.

But it was Najah's [Collection] trait that made it difficult to crush him.

Why do nobles and knights fight?

That is to protect their vested interests.

This is true of status and prestige, but what is particularly important is the power inherited by the ritual of inheritance.

If it is defeated by Naja, it will be taken away.

As soon as it became known, there were no noble armies fighting the Marshall Mercenaries with their backs tied in.

Someone else will do it, so they don't have to risk it.

Moreover, there was a presence that propelled it.

The Heikei family of the land that the Marshall mercenaries first destroyed and acquired.

The Guinean family next to the Heikei family has been killed by mercenary groups.

This Guinean house would have fought Naja angrily.

But for some reason, the main Guinean family does not move.

This is related to the fact that the leader of the Guinean family seems to have much more magic than before.

I wonder if this is also a characteristic of Naja's [Collection].

Najah can defeat the lord of the aristocracy and steal his power.

However, the Guineans were not the masters of the aristocracy, and the knights they named were defeated by Naja.

In other words, Naja has the right to inherit the knights of the Gizanian family.

It's a complicated story, but Naja's seizure of the knighthood of the Guiana family led to the magic pass connecting with the Guiana family.

In the form that the head of the Gizanian family is Naja's parent.

This meant that the stronger Naja was, the stronger the Guinean family would be.

The leader of the Guinean family noticed this as soon as possible.

It's only natural because it's your body.

And you thought.

If Naja gets stronger and she gets stronger, that might be it.

Originally, Najah, who was just leading a mercenary regiment, targeted the Heikei family, not the Heikei family, which was by no means a powerful aristocracy, but at that level.

And you can imagine the Guinean house next door.

In other words, the Guineans were a less powerful force, but in recent years they had to survive the massive struggles between the Menmen and the Reinzats, or the Kingdom of Resolute.

If you're willing to risk fighting the Marshall Mercenaries, you'd better leave them alone.

So he declared to the people around him:

Efforts should be made to defend the Guinean experts.

It was like saying in the dark that the Marshall mercenaries would not be attacked.

Naja understood this correctly.

The Marshall mercenaries declared that they would do nothing unless they attacked Guinean territory.

With all the surroundings surrounded by enemies, it would be helpful if we could at least not compete with the adjacent territories.

Thus, the Marshall mercenaries, who were supposed to be the enemies of God, and the Guineans entered into a war alliance without any dealings.

This makes me reluctant to move to crush the Marshall Mercenaries until such time as other nobles leave their armies.

If the Church cooperates with Naja, who has been recognized as the enemy of God, they will be enemies of God as well, but if they do not, they will not be enemies of God.

It was here that Naja survived for a long time despite the end of winter.

"The church won't allow that. What am I supposed to do?

"I don't know. But the Church has no fighting power. Aren't you going to make a request to destroy God's enemies somewhere?

"... you don't have to say weird things. In the meantime, let me declare it first. Tell Archbishop Paul that the Kingdom of Fontana is committed to home affairs."

"I was wondering if that's okay."

Archbishop Paul doesn't pretend to know me, but he doesn't know what the church will do.

Therefore, Fontana takes the lead and declares that she will invest in her country.

There seems to be an economic blockade on the Marshall mercenaries so far, so it could dry up anyway.

Thus, I decided to start my work in the Kingdom of Fontana again, with information from Leon and others.
