71. swordsman teacher(18)
Princess Eadina began to move quickly the very next day..
As soon as the morning sun rose, he rushed to Wisdom's Pavilion, convened a steering committee, and after a short meeting, decided to submit the agenda regarding the student punitive force to the palace. Thanks to my persuasion with Arthur and Os, we were able to unanimously submit the agenda without any opposing members..
A rough blueprint for detailed plans and organization had been completed based on advice from the heads of military and occult studies and teachers. Thanks to this, Eadina was able to run straight to the palace as soon as she finished the meeting..
The princess presented her plan to the palace council and explained her plan in detail in front of Zacharis and other ministers..
I haven't seen it in person, but the atmosphere seems to be very nice..
The plan itself was plausible, and the king's only daughter was talking hard and speaking well, so the reaction couldn't have been bad. Moreover, Eadina must have taken care of it in advance, and some of the ministers even acted as windbreakers, which was not appropriate for a member of the government..
In the end, Princess Eadina succeeded in getting her father's approval after about 20 minutes of suggestions and mediation - or a banquet..
Zacharis even gave the student punitive force to be formed according to his daughter's plan the idiotic name of 'Young Knights of the Royal University of Milano, brave as a lion and loyal as a wolf.' With permission for peacetime operation.
In other words, the student unit created to subdue the greenskins was given the name Knights, making it resemble a permanent club. Since that long name will rarely be used in its entirety, it will simply be called 'Young Knights of the Royal College' or 'Student Knights'..
It may seem like a laugh to hear a group of kids in their early 20s at most talking about knights, but most of the noble students had at least the title of knight, so it wasn't a ridiculous name..
Of course, Eadina did not achieve everything she wanted..
Although Zacharis and the court ministers gave the princess the title of knight commander, they never allowed her to directly participate in the subjugation. It was natural. Regardless of her status, Eadina is a sixteen-year-old girl who doesn't even know how to hold a knife properly..
In addition, Prince Aglas was also caught in the act. Aglas was skilled in swordsmanship to the point where he received the horse mark from me, but he was only fifteen years old..
Zacharis may have judged that giving the public the impression that he cared for the prince could damage the royal family's reputation, so he set an age limit. You can join the Young Knights if you are over 15 years old, but they set a strange rule that you have to be over 18 to work outside the royal capital..
Separately, this rule created a situation where a goal was struck. Shrimps, Count Gdoun, and others were unable to participate in the subjugation..
Shrimps and Gdun are both 17 years old this year, and as they belong to the Lion and Mae classes respectively, they are one of the strongest students among the many students at the Royal College. Those guys were not allowed to participate in this subjugation because they were one year younger..
Count Aeneas, a 'naga on horseback' who will participate as a student majoring in occult studies, narrowly avoided the age limit as he celebrated his 18th birthday just a week ago..
It's a funny situation in many ways... … . What can I do? It's the king's name..
The number of people in the program was also much reduced compared to the original plan drawn up by Princess Eadina..
Well, no matter how talented they were, it was an unreasonable plan to bring in two or three hundred students who were students at a time..
Of course, such opposition was expected by Eadina, and a preliminary plan was prepared accordingly. Based on that preliminary plan, and with input from ministers, an ambiguous number of 135 people was determined..
Of course, the punitive force was not formed with only 135 students. There are dozens of assistants, including teachers who will give advice along the way, priests and wizards to prepare for emergencies, and soldiers who will help with supplies. For your information, thanks to the princess's efforts, one of the five positions as advisor became mine..
As a result, I think the number of people moving as a unit under the name of the student punitive force is more than 200, including students and assistants..
There were many other parts that were forced to be modified, but the part that Princess Eadina found most painful was the date of departure..
The confirmed departure date was the first day of April, about two days later than originally planned. Five days from today.
I wonder if it would be possible to complete all the complex preparations for the expedition, such as organizing personnel, inspecting equipment, and preparing food, in just five days, but looking at the circumstances, it was not that difficult. This is the royal city overflowing with manpower and materials. A small unit of about 200 men can be dispatched within a day - no, an hour - after the king's order is given..
In fact, the only time-consuming part was the recruitment and selection of students. Eadina said that she would use full authority to complete this process in two days and set off immediately, but Zacharis did not allow it. The departure date was postponed to allow sufficient time to review applicants..
It is said that the king's will was so firm that there was no opportunity to insist or go to sleep, and the princess must have been quite upset by that. How gloomy the faces looked when they announced the confirmed departure date for me and Pasitea..
The reason Eadina felt so disappointed was because of the regular punitive force..
The regular punitive force led by the king's bannermen leaves in two days. As it is led by Baron Acraden, who also serves as the head of the Hunting Office, and Baron Daeon, who also serves as the commander of the mounted patrol, the members of the regular punitive force are also elites of the respective organizations and units..
As Viscount Arthur disparagingly said, they were only a second-class royal force, but their size was well over 500, so they should be able to easily subdue a small greenskin tribe..
In other words, the young knights who set out three days later than them might return after sucking their fingers..
In order to somehow reduce the time gap, the princess decided to form a student punitive force comprised entirely of cavalry... … . Well, I don't know if it will be of much help. Considering the traces they left behind, I think they'll mostly be wandering around the mountains..
Although the Young Knights raised the flag with many regrets, the response was very enthusiastic. On the day it was decided to establish the Order, more than 80 students applied to join..
It may seem surprising, but it was actually expected to some extent. The reason Eadina and her friends used all kinds of tactics to set the mood was to create a good start..
Perhaps because of this, more than 300 people ultimately flocked to the Young Knights through three days of recruitment. It was not just a simpleton, but a young man of high status or talent enough to attend the Royal University who applied so much..
The princess had everyone, except about a dozen who were disqualified, join the Young Knights. And a student punitive force was formed from people selected from among them..
It is never easy to select a capable person among people you have never met. However, as the chairman of the steering committee, Eadina had sufficient information about the students of the Royal College..
No, it's actually more than that. The list of people to be taken to the subjugation was filled with about 80% from the beginning..
The number of people finally chosen was exactly 135, as decided by the palace. There were 26 students who majored in occult studies, and the remaining 109 students studied military studies..
Among them, there were as many as 71 students listening to my lecture. More than half of the punitive force are my students..
Most of my students were listed, except for those who were subject to age restrictions, such as Shriffs, Count Gdun, and Prince Aglas, and commoner students who could not obtain permission from their sponsors..
Actually, there was a small problem here, because as many as ten of them were members of the chicken squad. Even though I had set the mood and paid attention to it during the lecture, I still applied anyway..
I immediately asked to remove these idiots from the list, but the princess did not accept this. It was because of other torture teachers..
It turned out that the ten guys in the chicken class, although somewhat poor at swordsmanship, were good at handling horses, bows, and crossbows, and seemed to have distinguished themselves in lectures on command. Thanks to that, I received a recommendation from another advisor, Lord Akeshion and Baron Shaenna.…….
Well, it can't be helped because the situation is like that..
Ah, yes. Baron Shaenna, a woman like Sagal also joins the subjugation..
After Zacharis ascended to the throne, most of the king's sixteen horsemen were performing certain duties in the royal capital or nearby places..
Acraden No. 5 and Daeon No. 6, which are constantly mentioned, are such cases. Number 4 Patina serves as a court mage, and Number 14 Griff leads the Royal Military Police as a military police officer. I heard that the positions of Ordnance Inspector, Adjutant General, and Senior Commander of the Northern Corps are all occupied by the king's bannermen..
8Shaenna, a monk, also served as a teacher at the Royal College for roughly similar reasons..
The correct title is Supervisory Teacher of Military Studies, but as befits his status as the king's standard-bearer, it was an odd position that was assigned directly to the president, omitting the head of the department, General Terov..
Considering that the position of President of the Royal University was in fact a position in name only, and that Bishop Partus, who sat there, was also not interested in the school, it was as if it had no business with her..
Of course, this world was not so kind to a woman with a bad temper like Shaenna. Currently, she was like Eadina's mutt. When the king's daughter, Geumji Ok-yeop, asks for help with the business card of the chairman of the steering committee, she, the king's standard-bearer and a teacher, cannot resist..
Watching the vicious woman who made me completely sick of Gistol lie down and almost open her stomach in front of a 16-year-old kid makes me feel sorry for myself - it's a lie, it's so exhilarating that my heart flutters..
Anyway, she took part in this subjugation after receiving Eadina's 'recommendation'. And that too in a fairly large role as a senior advisor..
Additionally, she plans to command the soldiers who will support the young knights - no, they will help supply them. Of course, those auxiliary soldiers are Colmaros' personal soldiers..
Because of the princess, the family's most precious private soldiers were sacrificed, so it was obvious that Shaenna would say all kinds of shit in Eadina's absence. And since there was a fight that wasn't a fight in the courtyard of the Training Hall before, there was a high probability that I would be the main target of that shit..
But I'm not really worried. Well, just stick close to the students, what's there to worry about??
Os, who won the position of subjugation leader as a result of an underworld deal I brokered, Garwin, who will act as a mid-boss next to him, Aeneth, who controls all the aces in the occult science department, and Arthur, the powerful person among powerful people with over 20 members. Pasitea, Princess Dina's representative and my friend, Euphria, who has been smiling openly these days whenever we make eye contact, etc..
There are a lot of people like Shaenna who are so noble that they can't even speak to them. I'm very reassuring, I'm very reassuring.
The last day of March, a day before the departure of the student punitive force, the mansion of the Earl Helmworth family..
Led by the landlady Pasitea, the princess's 15 people, including Olaz, Ochair, and others, were talking together for a long time about the subjugation that was to take place tomorrow. I joined in and said a few words to each other, and only after eating a large dinner did I leave the mansion..
Four days went by in a hectic manner, following the princess every time she called, stopping by the event to establish the Young Knights, holding meetings with advisors, conducting lectures, and finding appropriate equipment..
But the work was still not done. In fact, the most important thing remained.
Since I plan to leave the capital for at least a week, or more than 15 days if I'm unlucky, I have to look around at my colleagues, subordinates, and helpers one last time..
“……Ah, it's annoying.”
I sighed softly but continued to walk diligently..
