Chapter 43 The Job Known as Akechi Mitsuhide
“And so, I was thinking of using the dwarf called Kelara as a commander too . ”
I wouldn’t be able to put these people whose abilities I don’t know into actual combat if all the battles were important so these simple battles also have meaning .
Strictly speaking, forming a battle formation with 3-4k soldiers would overpower the enemy and Brando Naham will also be grateful .
“Ah, that person who is called the scholarly knight . ”
Raviara had a somewhat cold expression .
“Are you perhaps thinking of taking her in as your wife? Types like that can’t be found in the inner palace after all . ”
“Oi, oi, do you take me for a pervert or something…? Well, it is true that I can’t stay long in your place either but…”
I have been properly visiting Seraphina’s room, Fleur’s room and Raviara’s room so that they don’t think that I don’t care for them . Although, all three of them are very pretty so doing that is not a bother to me at all .
I do know of kings of previous generations harming their health by going about the castle too much or by doing too much work so I am being careful of that .
“I-I am sorry… Even Raviara understands Alsrod-sama’s position . We also selected Fleur because we trust you… But, it’s just a bit lonely when there are many women around you…”
“You don’t need to worry, Kelara and I having nothing going on . It’s just that I think she has skills . ”
“Oh, that reminds me, Altair-san was also blessed with a child . It’s a girl . ”
I made a difficult expression this time .
“If, I was a king by birth, I would have definitely been admitted to a monastery…”
“Alsrod-sama is also equally selfish as Raviara, huh?”
“What’d ya say? Seems like someone needs to be punished . ”
I quickly started tickling her .
“Alsrod-sama, not there–I am weak in those parts… ah, it tickles! Stop! Ahaha! Hahaha!”
I know . I have known you for quite a long time after all .
I advanced towards the south with 3,500 soldiers .
Not to meet up with Brando Naham, rather in a way to attack the feudal lords’ union in northwest Orbia prefecture .
Orbia prefecture is also situated deep into the mountains just like here so it will be troublesome if they were to use guerilla tactics .
“Kelara, I will a.s.sign three hundred soldiers to you . Fight with that . ”
“Understood . ”
Let’s see what you’ve got first .
Normally, most of the officers do not command imperial soldiers . However, while they are in my faction, they might have to take command of a few thousand of such soldiers depending on the situation . I want to determine whether she can do that or not .
On the other hand, Raviara had stepped into the countryside as I gave the command . Maybe it’s the elves’ blood or something, they seem to be really fired up when fighting in the jungle . She’s not up against a very strong opponent so I think it will be fine .
After a while, Kelara came back wearing a nonchalant expression . She’s so calm it’s hard to think of this as a battlefield . Her face looked as if she was reading a book or something .
It’s different from being chivalrous . The aura around her is more of a civil official than a commander . Although, a wild and rough person also isn’t suited to be a commander .
“You’re awfully early . Did it not go well?”
“We killed 3 of the enemy generals . ”
“Oho! That’s some good work in such a short period of time!”
That’s quite an achievement . This is a mountainous region so completely annihilating the enemy would be next to impossible . Considering that, her work was more than enough .
“If I am not mistaken, is your job a war related one?”
Now that I think about it, it wouldn’t be weird if her job was ‘swordsman’ or ‘shogun’ as she was a female knight .
“No, I do not have such a special talent . As such, I just executed the best possible tactic recorded in the old strategy doc.u.ments . ”
She was calm and collected as ever .
“In a sense, that suits your way of fighting . Can you still go on?”
“Yes . I shall obey my master’s commands . ”
At the end, Kelara ended up killing five more of the enemy’s general after that .
That was more than Raviara who had gone into battle after a long time . Although, Raviara was more specialized in solo missions so comparing them like that won’t do any good .
We have dealt quite a serious blow to the enemy feudal lord and there’s next to no casualties on our part . Brando Naham will also surely be thankful . It was a huge success as a plan .
Specially ‘cause I got a good hold of Kelara’s skills .
She can’t do anything flashy but her ability to steady take down the enemy is valuable . With her skills, she won’t probably fail miserably even if I entrust a big army to her .
“You did the most work this fight . ”
I told Kelara, while riding a horse beside her on our way to Maust after winning .
“It’s an honor . ”
Oh, right, I still didn’t hear about it .
“Kelara, what exactly is your job?”
“Actually… it’s quite a peculiar job, most people don’t really believe me but…”
Kelara said with a somewhat gloomy face .
Even this woman can make such a troubled expression, eh?
“I won’t doubt you . Say it . ”
“Yes, I don’t know what it means but, Akechi Mitsuhide–”
“Yes, I don’t know what it means but, Akechi Mitsuhide–”
I felt startled .
I feel like I have heard that name somewhere…
—Like I thought, a supreme ruler’s intuition is mostly correct .
Don’t go complimenting yourself there…
—Alsrod, be careful . This woman might betray you . After all, her job is Akechi Mitsuhide .
However, I felt even more intrigued for some reason .
I will put a leash on that Akechi Mitsuhide .
After all, he’s a chief va.s.sal Oda n.o.bunaga used for a long time, right? That’s proof that his value is really high .
“Can you hear that Akechi dude’s voice or something?”
“No, can jobs even have a voice? However, it just seems like my knowledge about ancient military tactics and strategies become three times as more… It’s probably the name of a post which can rule over ancient tactics or something…”
“Right, there’s no way a job can have a voice . ”
It seems to be fundamentally different from my Oda n.o.bunaga .
—As I thought, only a supreme ruler such as myself can withhold his ego even after being turned into a job .
Like I said, don’t go complimenting yourself there…
