“Cheers!!”

Feasts were being held all throughout the shop.

From the 560 people who participated in the battle, 380 people rushed and joined the banquet, and appreciation parties were held for each platoon at the bars in the city.

The remaining 180 people were on duty and standby, and they were planning to join the celebration at the bars after their shift change the next morning. 

Everyone was talking about this battle.

If we listened to what was being said…

• When they heard the news, they didn’t know what the battlefield would be like. 
• It was a new and first battle tactic but they were glad that it worked. 
• The recovery tactics of the commanders were quite good.
• They didn’t think they would hit 600meters of extra long distance magic in the early stage
• Kitamizato-sama one-on-one combat was brilliant
• The cleanup by the final knight order was impressive  
• The last 10km search was the act of the demons.  
•  The sight of Kitamizato-sama and Lady Alice hugging each other before the start of the battle was impactful

And many more were talked about. 

In a bar that was a little more expensive compared to the bar that the platoons were drinking at, three men were also having a reflection meeting. 

“Everyone, thank you for the hard work today.” 

“Yes.” 

“Indeed.”

The three men were Harold, with the Deputy Commander and Chief Soldier.

At Harold’s words, they tipped their glass and started drinking. 

“Really, who would have thought that even with the 400 enemies, there were no casualties.” 

“Kitamizato-sama’s battle tactic was spot on.” 

“The soldiers also did well.” 

“Yes, that’s true. Battle tactics and battle plan, it’s a result of both working out well.” 

“When I heard the news, I wondered how many casualties we had.” The Chief Soldier said. 

“Before Takeo came, it would have been a side-by-side assault.”

“That… had always been the battle tactic.” 

“When I heard the battle tactics, it made me think that there was such a way of fighting.”

“Exactly. What we have learned till now, is the method to battle with other countries. This is because each of the lords will bring in their soldiers. If we have used Takeo’s battle tactics, we will not be able to grasp the right timing and it would only lead to confusion. The side-by-side assault does not cause confusion and the timing is easier to grasp.” 

The other two nodded at Harold’s commentary. 

“But from this battle, we can conclude that this battle tactic works well in a battle with only one lord’s army.” 

“That’s right. Shall we consider this at our own place?” Harold asked the Deputy Commander. 

“Hmmm… I think we can try it but…” The Deputy Commander hesitated. 

“That’s right. Until now, we have never thought about that kind of idea. Maybe it won’t go well.”

“Should we ask Kitamizato-sama?” 

“Yes, if it’s Takeo, he would know other battle tactics but.. will he tell us?”

“He will not tell us until we think about it.” 

“Yes. Takeo is strict about this part. Chief Soldier, what will you do?” 

“Well, maybe I’ll ask the platoon leader or the soldier to give it a thought?”

“Seems like we can make it with more people involved.” Harold sighed. 

“By the way, the patrol of the 10km perimeter after the battle has no abnormality?”

“No, actually it’s too much of nothing.”

“What do you mean?”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

“Not only a goblin but there is not even one of the other creatures. Slime, insects, beastman… we couldn’t find anything.” 

“What is the connection to this attack?”

“Maybe it has a connection, but I don’t know how it’s connected. Chief Soldier, how was it 2 years ago?”

“2 years ago, we didn’t do the 10km perimeter patrol. But as I can recall, the creature damage and requests for suppression were scarce.” 

“Hmm… The surrounding goblin must’ve gathered together so it would make sense that the goblins are gone but… The fact that the other creatures are also gone…”

“It seems.. intentional.”

“What about the client that’s coming?”  

“Usually, it looks like it. But this trip seems like not one that was decided in advance. They did come suddenly. Then, does this mean that they also suddenly brought that large army? If that is the case, if they move with a detailed plan, they should be able to prepare quite a large number.”

“We might need to change the training content of the soldiers.” Harold muttered and to this, the Chief Soldier said with a concerned face. 

“Yes, so do the knights. When protecting a town or village, it might be dangerous if we don’t prepare to deal with enemies up to two times, no, three times the size. First, we should prioritize strengthening the soldier instead of the battle tactics. We need to be able to be perfectly coordinated with just a command.” 

“Firstly, let’s re-train from the basic stride and march.”

“Until the next… it would be great if we had more time…”
 

“For now, rather than being anxious, we’ll just do what we can do.”

“Yes, let’s reinforce the basic training. Well, in case of a national emergency, we’ll have to count on Takeo to do his best.” 

The three forced a smile and continued talking.

Elvis Mansion, in the parlor

For now, everyone was freely conversing. 

The men were discussing while looking over Takeo’s rifle.

On the other hand, Layla and Alice;

“Hey, Alice..”

“Yes, what is it, Sister Layla?” 

“This incident will also be made into a fairy tale. Is that alright?”

“Regardless of what I say, you already plan to do it, don’t you?” 

“Yes, so you already know.” 

“The previous fairy tale had great sales, is what I heard from the bookstore.” 

“Haha. I became a hot-selling author in such a short time. I earned a lot of pocket money.”

“So? Until which part do you plan to write?”

“Hmm… I will have to dramatize it a bit..” 

“Dramatization is a must for you, is it?”

“Of course? I have to make it interesting. From the encounter to the engagement of Alice and Takeo, the progress of this battle and noble title. Ah, should I include the clothes too?”   

“How much do you plan to include?” 

“A lot.” Layla said while laughing. 

“Of course, I won’t write the part about Takeo being a foreigner and the rifle.”

“Of course.” 

“Ah, I would like to portray Taeko as knowledgeable. I want to include clothing, combat techniques, and battle tactics. And cooking. Takeo, can you tell me a recipe for a simple dish?” Layla suddenly asked Takeo. 

Takeo, who was in the middle of the discussion, turned to face Layla. 

“Butter sandwiches are good, if you gather the ingredients even Layla can make it easily. It’s for William, isn’t it?”

“Yes.” 

“I will write it down before the departure tomorrow.” 

“Thank you!” 

“Takeo, how can you teach a recipe so easily?” Alice was disappointed. 

“Haha. As expected from Takeo-san.” 

Layla continued to happily talk with Alice about the fairy tale.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
