I Visited the Kalendale Kingdom Again

　I've been busy since this morning. After finishing breakfast, I went to the supply depot where Yamato, also known as the horse beast man, works, and pushed several treasure bags I had made last night.

"Each item holds enough supplies for a carriage, so please use it."

"Um, isn't this really expensive?"

　The image of a well-built bipedal horse embracing a leather bag as if holding something fragile... is surreal.

"Nera says that a mansion can be built with just one. Don't get stolen."

"No no no! I'm too scared to use something this expensive!"

"Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the crossroads, so arrange trade goods and pack them. Arrange an escort. And get used to it, from now on, you'll be moving that kind of money from right to left."

"You don't feel like listening to me!?"

　I completely ignored Yamato's protests and left. No, I ran away. I'm also on schedule. I believe that Yamato will do it. Good luck, Yamato.

　The next stop is the prisoner of war camp. Since Flam did his best to separate the captives from the Kalendale Kingdom yesterday, I will transfer them to the royal capital of the Kalendale Kingdom. There were about 200 people, about a quarter of the total number of POWs.

　After being transported to the Kingdom of Kalendale, they will be forced to work for the crime of being involved in the rebellion against the kingdom. Having said that, it is certain that they were not in a position to defy the feudal lord, so it seems that the period of labor will be a very light sentence of three months.

　Further restraint could affect next year's crops and cause famine in their hometowns. And in the event of a famine, it is the Kalendale Kingdom that will deal with it. Therefore, it was decided to deal with it so that famine would not occur from the beginning.

"Master, preparations for transfer are complete."

"Thank you. Wasn't it difficult?"

"No, it's nothing like this."

　Flamm says so and smiles, but there must be days when he has to be careful about dealing with the invading army for a long time. I always ask for it too.

"Leave it to your subordinates and rest early today.

"Yes, I understand"

"Then get ready to transfer. I'll fly over there first and check the transfer destination. After that, I'll open the transfer gate, so please take care of it later."

　After saying that, I concentrated my magic power and flew to Alfen, the capital of the Kalendale Kingdom, using long-distance teleportation magic. The transfer destination is in front of the main gate of the royal castle. I'm getting used to this blackout and floating feeling.

"Yes, we have arrived."

　When I arrived in front of the main gate, the guards guarding the main gate were wide-eyed, probably surprised by my sudden appearance.

"Good morning, I'm the hero Taishi. I'm here to discuss the transfer of prisoners of war.

"Ha... Ha! Please wait a moment! Hey"

　One of the gatekeepers winks, and lightly armored soldiers run with all their might through the back door. Fumu, the heavily armed gatekeepers are in charge of protection, and the lightly armored soldiers act as liaisons to various places? This might be a know-how that can also be used in Clover's defense, let's remember. No, it doesn't make much sense since there are centaurs and beastmen, right?

　While thinking about such things, the knight in charge appeared at the main gate and was guided to the large training ground inside the castle, where the prisoners were accepted. This is where royal guard knights and castle guards train day and night, and I remember Marl and I used it many times when we were staying in this castle. The grounds are large and large enough for 200 prisoners to enter.

"Then I'll open the transfer gate and transfer the prisoners, are you ready?"

"Ha, no problem."

"Then let's go."

　Concentrate your magic and open the transfer gate. A teleportation gate that looked like a dark door appeared, and the knights and guards who acted as guards let out voices of surprise.

"Who will accompany you? You can boast that you've seen a clover in the middle of the Great Sea of ​​Trees."

"Then I"

"Come on, too."

　Several knights have put forward their names, so I go through the transfer gate with them. After passing through the transfer gate, the transfer gate was connected to the open space near the prisoner of war camp as intended. The prisoners' attention gathered on me and the knight who came out of the teleportation gate, and the place became noisy.

"Kalendil Kingdom people, line up and proceed to the transfer gate! Your homeland is waiting for you!"

　When I arrived, I was a laborer. Please be grateful that I didn't take your life.

　With the support of the knights and Clover's guards, the prisoners who were lined up began to move, but somehow they didn't have the courage to pass through the teleportation gate and they were stuck. Well, it's scary, it's the first time.

"Hey, you and you over there, come over here."

　Call one of Clover's guards and one of the knights who accompanied him from the Karendil Kingdom to the immediate vicinity of the transfer gate.

"We will enter first, so follow us."

　After saying that and giving the two of them a wink, go through the transfer gate. Immediately my vision changed and I successfully transferred to the training grounds of the Kalendale Kingdom. After me, the knights and guards also appear at the training ground.

"Was it a good experience?"

"Yes, it was a valuable experience."

"Heh, is this the Kalendale Kingdom?"

　The knight nodded with a serious expression, and the Clover Guard looked around the training ground curiously. I don't know the name of this guard, but he's a blue-skinned demon tribe, so he must have moved from a demon tribe village. While I was away from Clover, quite a few people migrated from the village of the Oni people, the village of Arkenia, and the settlements of the river people.

"As you may know, I'm Taishi. What's your name?"

"It's Souji. I heard it was amazing, but the general's magic is really amazing."

　While introducing ourselves to each other, we watch over the captives who are teleporting. Since we passed through the teleportation gate first, they were able to feel a little relieved, but they teleported one after another while feeling a bit frightened.

　The time it took for about 200 people to move wasn't a big deal. Finally, the knights remaining in Clover pass through the transfer gate and return.

"I have confirmed that everyone has been transferred.

"Okay. I'll close the transfer gate once."

　As I closed the transfer gate and watched the names of the prisoners being read out one by one, Souji spoke to me in a low voice.

"General, are you going home as soon as this is over?"

"That's what I meant, but what happened?"

"No, I'd definitely like to see a human town."

"HM"

　think. After this, I'm planning to put a check on the Geppels Kingdom, so I don't plan on spending so much time on it. Besides, it's boring to go on a date with a man, let alone a bride.

"I'm sorry, but I'm busy, so I don't have time to show you around the city. After finishing my business here, I have another business."

"Really..."

"But well, there are one or two places where you can see the royal capital Alphen from this castle. It's fine if you just look at the city for a while."

"Really?

　The blue demon Souji smiled happily. It doesn't change anything from a young human brother just because he has pale skin and horns.

　It seems that the comparison with the list was finished while we were having such an exchange, so when I asked for guidance to a place where I could overlook the royal capital, he kindly guided me. She was guided to the top of the outer wall surrounding the royal castle, the upper part of the main gate, where she could splendidly overlook the royal capital.

"Oh, what a nice view."

"It's a superb view that only castle workers like us can see. Seeing this spectacle, we have a strong feeling that we must protect this royal capital."

"This guy sure is amazing"

"Well. I want to aim for a city like this."

　Souji seemed to be moved by the sight of the city spreading out in front of him. Large aristocratic mansions and majestic temple facilities stand near the royal castle, and smaller buildings increase as you go deeper. How many people do you have? I forgot Well, Clover's population hasn't even reached 1,000, so it's kind of pointless to compare.

"Well, let's go back. If you want to see the sights of the city, Yamato will go to Crossroads to do business tomorrow, so why don't you run as an escort?"

"Oh, I see. Thanks, General."

"Okay, then we're going home with this. Tell the king to contact me if anything happens."

"Ha, be careful"

　I waved at the saluting knight, grabbed Souji's shoulder and transferred to Clover.

"Oh, it's really a moment. I feel like I've been tricked by some kind of genjutsu."

"Goodbye.

"Oh, thank you, General!"

　Raising his hand in response to Souji's words of gratitude, he searches for Flam. Then, it seemed that he had found me first, and I saw him scurrying towards me. Get closer from here.

"The transfer has been completed safely. I checked the list over there, so it should be fine."

"Thank you for your hard work, master."

"Yeah. So there are about 700 people left?"

"Well, that's about it. Food seems to be fine for a few months, but..."

"Don't you have much time to spare? I'm going to the Geppels Kingdom now, so I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, be careful"

　I had a discussion yesterday about the matter of putting a click on the Goebbels Kingdom. Even though it was a verbal promise, I will not forgive you for breaking the promise. Last time I only beat the crown prince, but this time I'm ready to use force.

　I waved at Fram with a worried expression, concentrated my magic, and teleported to the sky above the Kingdom of Goebbels.
