62 – Autumn in full swing
I apologized to everyone once more and instructed them to start taking pictures.
Fortunately, the members overlooked my mistake without saying anything, and instead praised the druid’s strength and scolded me.
I got spanked by Piyi for cutting off a tree branch and eating it, but I felt like my overall morale went up as I showed off my power.
“There is no need to be too meticulous! We’ll roughly cut it into large pieces and transport it! Cut them into pieces along the joints!”
“Yes!”
Through this hunt, I was able to confirm the possibility of the herbivore corps.
However, in Qingqing Yingyue, there were still many rules that needed to be ironed out.
It would be like ripping up the city’s traditions from the ground up, but since they had a wild male god behind them, there was nothing to hesitate about.
I called Vice-Captain Evie and explained our future plans.
“Evie. “From now on, we will not be doing the storage and transportation work.”
“Yes? “Then who are you going to order from?”
“We need to mobilize the remaining non-combat personnel in the city.”
First, there was a plan to drastically change the rules for harvesting and material transportation.
Until now, warriors had been in charge of all hunting, storage, and transportation tasks, but no matter how much one thought about it, it seemed too inefficient.
“You mean non-combat personnel?”
“Okay. “The warriors will just cut the monster’s body into pieces to make it easier to transport, and leave the rest of the work to those who have free hands.”
“Ah. I understand. However, since my job is to transport meat, I am worried that there might be an attack by monsters. How do you plan to ensure the safety of transportation personnel?”
“Don’t worry. Because I didn’t mean to tell anyone to do it. We plan to establish a new corps that will be in charge of harvesting, transporting materials, and transporting the injured. “If you go through proper training, you will be able to deal with monsters on your own.”
“Hmm. I think that would be of great help. “Many people will cooperate for the well-being of Cheongcheongyeongwol.”
After hearing my plan, Evey nodded her head and showed approval.
Since she was thinking of entrusting the newly established ‘volunteer corps’ to Evie, her approval gave me the greatest support.
In that case, it would be better to tell you all your plans now.
I continued speaking while looking at the dragonfly and Piyi running around.
“And we plan to further increase the size of the herbivore corps. Since the tradition has been abolished, we will be able to recruit members openly.”
“To what extent do you plan to expand?”
“It will attract everyone except children, the elderly, and essential workers. “Those who find it difficult to fight or are weak will be taken out as volunteer corps.”
“Everyone… “Do you understand?”
“Okay. If there are a lot of people, the burden will not be concentrated. Ultimately, I plan to turn all members of Qingqing Yingyue into warriors.”
“Ha, Haona Gaul. In that case, there may be a loophole in the work of the herbivorous beastmen.”
Turns all members of Qingqing Yingyue into warriors.
Evie expressed her honest concerns about my extreme plan.
But I also had a plan in mind.
I asked Evie while looking at the members working on the capture work.
“What do you herbivorous beastmen do in the city?”
Like the elves, the beastmen were a hunting-oriented society with monsters as their staple food.
So, what do herbivorous beasts who do not go hunting do on a daily basis?
Evie answered my question by unfolding her own hanbok.
“Most women make a living by weaving and making clothes. “All the clothes of Qingqing Yingyue were made by herbivorous women.”
“Then what about men?”
“I mainly spend my days building houses or mining ore. “All the houses in Qingqing Yingyue were built by the hands of herbivorous men.”
“Okay. You make clothes and houses. “Carnivorous beastmen are in charge of food.”
Like this, food, clothing, and shelter in Cheongcheong Yeongwol were completely separated.
While herbivorous women made clothing and men built shelters, carnivorous beastmen were responsible for providing food.
I looked at the hanbok that Evie was wearing. And I thought about Cheongcheong Yeongwol’s house.
The beautiful hanbok was worn in soft colors and the mansion that came to mind was incredibly stylish.
In short, it meant that there was room to be stylish.
Of course, it was proof that all the members did their best in their respective positions, but it could not help but seem regrettable because the meat-eating beasts were risking their lives.
“I won’t work so hard that it interferes with my existing work. We also have to satisfy the hunting desires of carnivorous beasts. “They only become active as warriors during the hunting season when monsters come flooding in.”
“So you only go out in the fall?”
“No. Herbivorous beastmen only come out ‘when the Qingqing Yingwol is in danger.’ “If we force you to only help in the fall, you will be inflexible and wait for the fall.”
“Ugh! Wow, I definitely think so.”
Because they were very knowledgeable at the tribal level, they needed to be very careful when establishing new rules.
Ivy, who is flexible, will understand my intentions to some extent, but most of the beast people will just follow what I say.
We had to avoid a situation where bad habits were passed down to future generations, saying it was a ‘tradition established by Druids’ due to an unnecessary slip of the tongue.
These guys are the ones who will get away with it.
“Warm clothing and a sturdy shelter are as important as food. Even if you survive the fall by hunting monsters, you won’t be able to survive the winter without clothes and a home.”
“Yes. I understand. If you only help in emergencies, there will be no problem. “I will make sure that Gaul’s intentions are not distorted.”
“Okay. Please.”
Luckily, Evie seemed to understand me perfectly.
As expected, Evie seemed like the perfect candidate to take charge of the volunteer corps.
It feels really good to have a conversation.
I felt a little excited and started pouring out my future plans to Evie.
“And from now on, we will have meat-eating members and native tribesmen patrol around the city. The Wooin tribe will wait in the city and be dispatched when they hear that a monster has been discovered. Then we will be able to defend all defenses with only a small number of people.”
“Oh, yes. It certainly looks efficient. “It will also be easy to control the fatigue of members.”
“That’s right. As expected, Evie understands quickly. Next time, I don’t plan on letting Kaa out of the Blue Moon.”
“Are you talking about Warrior Commander Kaa?”
“Okay. Kaa, who can use recovery magic, is a more valuable power than anyone else. So, we should confine them in the city and allow them to focus on healing. “If Kaa stays inside the city, he will be able to respond even if a flying monster attacks.”
“Hmm. In that case, why not ask Kaa’s mother, Rua, as well? Lua is also well versed in her recovery magic.”
“That’s really good information. “Let me ask you a favor.”
Operation method of each corps and utilization of special personnel. And other complex tactical details.
Leebee was not only able to easily understand those plans, but also offered additional opinions.
Even though I explained it so roughly, I can’t believe you understood it perfectly. As expected, this young lady’s understanding of tactics is amazing. It was almost like Joan of Arc in the Blue Moon.
I smiled with satisfaction and shared my final plan.
“Finally, I plan to instruct you to secure the border of Qingqing Yongyue and build a defense line as quickly as possible.”
“Border… “Do you understand?”
“Okay. You have lived in peace until now. Although we are now suffering from monsters, we have never once experienced invasion by a foreign power.”
“Yes. That’s right….”
“To put it bluntly, Qingqing Yongyue currently has no military power at all. If I turn into an enemy now, will you be able to stop me? If the elves invade, will you be safe? Or, if the human kingdom to the east invades, will we be able to protect the Ley Lake?”
“Well, that’s…” .”
“Nine times out of ten, we will perish. If you live in peace, you will lose your military power, and if your military power is weak, you will become defenseless against invasion by foreign powers. Of course, that doesn’t mean peace is bad. But I have no intention of allowing Qingqing Yingyue to become defenseless.”
Because I know the language of those countries very well.
I swallowed bitter words and lightly ruffled Evie’s hair as she lowered her head.
Just because our lifestyles are similar, doesn’t that mean our painful histories need to be similar?
All I had to do was use the bad precedents in history as a lesson and be a little more diligent.
Fortunately, I was familiar with a race renowned for its strong military power.
A race comprised mostly of warriors. A race that cannot live their lifespan due to their warlike nature. A race that dominates the great forest centered around the World Tree.
They were none other than the elves led by the high elves.
The military power of Qingqing Yongwol could be strengthened just by imitating Eldennor.
If that doesn’t work, you can use your position as a druid to request support.
After making that promise, I tapped Evie on the shoulder and smiled brightly.
“I didn’t really mean to scold you, so don’t be intimidated. Because people who try to destroy peace are strange.”
“Yes….”
“And is it okay for the support leader to show such weakness? “As a leader, you must always appear confident.”
“Yes? Support leader? “Am I right?”
“Uh. I did not know? “You were the head of the support group from earlier.”
“Well, this is the first time!”
“Of course. “Because this is the first time I’ve said it.”
“Gasp!”
I chuckled as I looked at the rabbit girl who opened her rabbit eyes.
After laughing for a while, I looked around at the members and realized that the capture work was roughly completed.
I rescued Piyi from being attacked by a dragonfly and gave orders to everyone.
“I’m hungry! Let’s all return to Qingqing Yongyue with meat and ingredients!”
At the same time as my command, a low sound of wind was heard from the Foster Mountains in the south.
It was the second roar of the mad dragon Hista, showing off its territory in the face of the approaching monsters.
“It has begun.”
With the second roar earlier than expected, fall has finally begun in earnest.
