    My Viins Chapter 452


    66. Silver Prince (7)


    Prince Ulkar left for the east with his main knights and elite cavalry, so it was up to me to collect troops and prisoners.


    Earl Ines, the young head of the Milgrester family, her tutor, Viscount Cirillo, and Baron Lu Yan, who have be like idols on the battlefield due to their recent activities – even though there are several people with higher status and status than me, I pick the prince. entrusted all power to me


    Many nobles and knight officers sent eyes that were covered with envy, awe, or envy, but honestly, they weren’t happy at all. I don’t know why I keep trying to put on a coat of arms when I sleep with trust and it’s hard to even take care of myself.


    The feeling that came to be written like that was not usually heavy. It would not be an easy task to take a little over 1,700 troops—even 3,400 of whom were wounded—and to transport 3,700 prisoners.


    There was one element that made this situation more shitty, and one element that made it less shitty.


    The former was that the troops given to me came from a total of six provinces, so the chain ofmand was different.


    And one thing is for sure, marching with well over 5,000 people was really difficult.


    …fuck it. If I had known it would be like this, I would have followed the prince instead of arguing that I was tired.


    It’s much easier to imitate a human butcher while holding a sword and riding a horse than to wear armbands and act as


    guides for refugees.


    If there was a job search site in the world and Prince Ulkar’s warlords were registered, they would leave a very spicy corporate review. I don’t know about growth potential, promotion opportunities, andpany culture, but I’m sure one star is minus 5,000 in the work-life bnce category.


    The crowd I led arrived in Eisbobalt five days after the battle was over, looking like a pack of sick dogs.


    It was thanks to the veteran Confair and other friendly soldiers, the officers left behind by the prince, and the able retainers of the Milgrester family, who took care of me all the time, who endured my whipping. Perhaps, if they hadn’t yed their part, the number of less than 300 dropouts would have increased three or four times.


    After a lot of hardship, when I arrived at Eisbowald, a group of people had gathered in front of the gate. Soldiers lined up through the castle gate and drove a bicorn to get to them.


    An elderly senior knight who was guarding the city with a force of about 200 under themand of Count Ines. Deozen acts as a vignte leader, but is actually a gang leader. And four judges, including Reinhoyt, who seemed to have been dragged out by his gang. Finally, representatives of variousbinations and guilds of nobles and riches.


    After receiving a brief report on the current situation of the city from the old knights and the judges, I asked Deozen, the salted fish vendor.


    “What are these people?”


    The thug standing side by side with the powerful men of the city replied with his characteristic calm face.


    “Since you won a big victory this time, shouldn’t we have a small improvement ceremony? In my heart, I wanted to mobilize all the citizens, but unfortunately, I gathered only the gentlemen I could introduce to the ruler.”


    “…He made a sound like a fool and sat down.” The poption of Eisbowald is a little over 20,000, including the nearby manor vige and monastery.


    This is a big city in its own way, but it is difficult to ept the military enlistment of more than 5,000 people without any preparation. Besides, since less than a month had passed since they upied the city, it was difficult to secure food and supplies.


    So, as soon as I took over the troops and prisoners, I sent a messenger…


    “Did I tell you to prepare something like this?”


    “Don’t worry, Nari. We have already secured a building to serve as a temporary barracks and a site for a camp. It’s just that materials and food are a little short-”


    “So? Did these gentlemen drag you out because they wanted to hang you?”


    I growled a little, but he answered without blinking an eye.


    “If my lord gives these gentlemen a little guarantee, won’t they release their stockpile and food?”


    “guarantee? What guarantee?”


    “Your safety is our top priority. In addition to this, if you guarantee your position and assets in your name, you will be able to receive sufficient cooperation.” I nced at the influential people lined up next to the alumni gate and let out a big smile.


    “So, in a word… you’re saying that everyone came here because they wanted to protect my life and my food bowl, right?”


    “So to speak, sir.”


    “Ugh really.”


    It bothers me with trivial things.


    I gently pulled the reins and looked at the friendly soldiers standing behind me.


    “Hey,e here.”


    “Who are you talking about?”


    “Yes you.”


    With the roughly paintedcquer jagged helmet hanging from the saddle, the ponytail Fritz spurred forward.


    “Yes Nari.”


    “Did you hear what I just said?”


    “What are you talking about with a rice bowl?”


    “uh. you handle it.”


    “How do you mean?”


    “By-self. Just bring your supplies.”


    Fritz, who had a rough expression on his face, raised his eyebrows in interest.


    “By-self? Is that true?”


    “uh.”


    “As you know, I have a bit of a personality”


    “I know, like a dog. It doesn’t matter because these guys are all gangsters and opportunists.”


    After that, he pulled the reins toward the gate. Then Deogen, with a clear look of bewilderment, hurriedly ran and blocked the path ahead.


    “Wait, sir! This is an important issue. The public sentiment of the city is- kek!”


    Before he could even finish his words, Fritz, who hade running like a madman, jumped off the horse. After being beaten in the chest, Ozen tumbled violently on the floor.


    “Didn’t you hear what Nari said? talk to me.”


    “……Knock off.”


    Deogen looked up at the dirty-looking Fritz and groaned.


    Other friendly soldiers clicked their tongues and pulled the reins, as if they could guess the future of Deogen and the influential people, and Donell, who had been burnt, followed Fritz with about 20 enlisted men.


    He handled other things simrly. In a word, it means that he hit his colleagues and subordinates at times.


    Well, if you think about it carefully, the expression that you hit the time is a bit inappropriate. Since there is a saying, ‘Grandpa is not enough’, wouldn’t it be enough to just ce the subordinates in the right ces?


    First of all, reorganizing the army that had been destroyed was the first priority.


    Although Prince Ulkar assured that there would be no major battles now, the emperor’srge army was due to appear within a few days, so he had to make minimal preparations.


    Well, if you properly divide the troops and appointmanders well, everyone will take care of the detailed organization and distribution of supplies.


    Of course, the soldiers from the Abiden region were entrusted to the great lord of Abiden, the ‘young Naga’, Count Ines.


    That is to say, Viscount Cyrillo and his army, who had appeared with Prince Ulkar, were incorporated under themand of Count Ines.


    Count Ines was only 15 years old, but he held his position until the end even when the defense line was in danger after being pushed back by the troops of the two electors.


    Thanks to this, Countess Milgrester’s vassals and soldiers reaffirmed her absolute loyalty and affectionate support, and Prince Ulkar also paid tribute to her courage.


    Count Cyril Loza, Count Ines’s housekeeper, at first abandoned him, saying that he could not bemanded by his young nephew, but eventually had to obey.


    He was a rebellious and powerful vassal, but he was not strong enough to defy both the authority the girl had built up for herself and the invitations close to my orders.


    The mercenaries led by Count Ines, Atnta, and other nobles all revised the contract and entrusted it to Grania, the ‘Shield Girl’.


    In the first ce, Prince Ulkar’s warlords included several mercenary corps or gangs of mercenaries, and among them, Grania stood out and became the leader.


    The number of mercenaries under hermand has increased to about 300, but she should be able to control it smoothly. Besides, since he’s close with me, it’ll be easy for him to handle many things.


    The Nudan warriors were the ones who worshiped Atnta almost like a god, so they had no choice, and the ‘Prince’s Commander’ Harold’s elite soldiers under the directmand of the Prince were a bit ambiguous.


    The ‘Red Dragon’ Baron Ruyan was in a simr situation.


    His unit consisted mainly of robber-like crossbows brought from Delhi Road, thend of the Earth Gitch family, and his loyalty was surprisingly strong.


    Also, Luyan is young, but he is a lord in his own right and has a dirty personality. It means that it is too troublesome to keep near.


    That’s why I nailed it to Count Ines’s army.


    Even if Baron Luyan could fly and crawl, he would not be able to act rashly in front of the Count. Earl Ines is the owner of a formidable tform, and there are plenty of trustworthy vassals around him, such as Sir Ben Lowe’s staff Fogan, so he won’t be swayed by his subordinates.


    Lastly, I entrusted all of the newly gathered troops beyond de Bay – about forty soldiers and dozens of swordsmen led by Sergeant Gotthrop – to Conwhir.


    Putting it all together, the number was a little over 130, but Confair didn’t seem too burdened.


    I just did it. The private army organization I led recruited new members several times in a short period of time, so there was nothing to be afraid of, and the rank system based on skill was solid.


    Starting with the guys I hired as subordinates right after arriving in Longville (Archer Cole, Freckles, Myra, Stidman, One-eyed Simos), the guys I hired on the way out of Longville, and then the ones I took an oath of allegiance to (Veteran Confidential Fritz, Heavy General Dervish Crossbows Gidon Heavy Swordsman Umberta Plump Esson) Deserters conspired from Modos (Burnt Donnel Yuk Son Yi Mittelman) Youngsters from the outskirts of Paulville (Cavas the Grasshopper Poacher, Shea the Clever, etc.) The mercenaries and soldiers who guarded (such as Keegan Hairy Henrik of the Spearman Mackaig’s Bone Armor) and the warriors obtained through the consideration of the Marquis of Eavon in Lianwell (such as Taggart Doherty the Iron Fist and O’Bryn the Drunk of the Eton Brothers). From the settlement of Keibor to the recruits recruited by Confair himself.


    Since the unit has gradually increased in size over the past year, there is no reason to be confused just because fifty or so new faces are added.


    Well, while most of the existing staff are from the Kingdom of Mnol, the new recruits are all Gens, so it’s a bit worrying – no, it’s not. As long as it’s Confier and Fritz right now, they’re Gens, so there won’t be any problems.


    On the other hand, because of the increase in the number of family members, the cost of maintaining the unit also increased significantly because the sry was for your own food and other supplies. ording to He, who has been in charge of managing the unit’s funds from a certain point on, it costs more than sixty gold coins a week. Is this why the military is a money-eating hippo?


    If it had beenst year, my hands would have trembled at the amount of sixty gold coins, but things are different now.


    because of the war


    Even if you kill just one warhorse with a good lineage, thirty or forty gold coins are ridiculous, and in the case of nobles of high rank, the ransom jumps to over a hundred. Besides, if you win a battle once, cartloads of loot will pour out, and if you capture a city once, it’s practically like hitting the lottery.


    So, over the past few months, my assets have grown tremendously.


    The troops under mymand upied Proshafen, a prosperous port city and provincial capital, Eis Bobalt, a city of considerable size, four forts, and over twenty viges, capturing vast amounts of loot.


    And since I was neither a phnthropist nor a protector, I


    won my rightful right as amander leading an army and at the same time the vanguard who saw the first blood in every battle.


    What he took was 20% of the loot that his allies had swept through the two provinces of Angst and Obdorf over the past two months. No more, no less, just 20%.


    Thanks to the rapid increase in property, there was no need to worry about the huge unit maintenance cost. For a while, that is, for about 41 weeks.


    Just as the gang leader Deogen and the city’s influential people were entrusted to Fritz, Reinhoyt and other judges were entrusted to He.


    To put it simply, it means that most of the city’s work has been entrusted.


    He, the daughter of a duke’s family, has indirectly experienced the rule of the huge ind of End.


    So, I believed that I would be able to do it easily enough to take care of the city for a few days.


    In addition to this, after entrusting various tasks to his colleagues and subordinates, he finally became free. The problem I had been putting off was right in front of me.


    “Did you sleep with He?”


    “…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”


    On the evening of arriving in the city, Ellen appeared out of nowhere in the office of the headquarters of the guard and asked another question with an expressionless face.


    “With the bundle?”


    “…No, why are you asking such a thing all of a sudden without any context?”


    “With sister-inw Utequai?”


    “Is it Eopi? hey are you crazy It’s her baby.”


    I jumped up in surprise, but Ellen just sat still and stared at me.


    “…Yes. I don’t think he is.”


    Facing his cool blue eyes, I had to reflect on my slightly promiscuous life.
