Town chapter 96: Conclusion and Coronation
What is a tank in the world where n.o.buhide came from? In short, a moving battery. They move faster than horses, they can move forward and backward freely and their armor is strong enough not to be repelled by half-baked attacks. It can fire without any preparatory action and its flight distance is phenomenal.
But now, the ten tanks that are traversing the enemy in front of them aren't just tanks. Their name is [Type 10 tank].
The crew consists of a commander, driver and gunner. The main gun is a 44 caliber 120mm gliding cannon, next to the main gun is a 7.62mm machine gun as a secondary armament. A 12.7 mm heavy machine gun M2 is mounted on the turret attached to the outer frame of the captain's cupola (Hatch). The maximum speed is seventy kilometers per hour. It has an advanced shooting system that automatically tracks and fires targets while moving, and has a variety of other cutting-edge technologies, but the ability to use satellites is not available in this world.
[Type 10 tank] 950 million yen
With the appearance of this [Type 10 Tank], the battle situation in the Fujiwara territory has changed completely. Until recently, the Initia Kingdom army was the attacker and the protector was the Fujiwara army. But now it's quite the opposite. The Fujiwara army was able to bombard the Initia army from anywhere and their offense and defense were swapped.
Nine [Type 10 tanks] hit the Initia army from diagonally right and left and the remaining one bombarded the Initia army's main unit. Then, a retreat bell rang from the enemy and the main unit of the Initia Royal Army, which had set up in front of the southern wall where n.o.buhide and others were, receded quickly with only one [Type 10] bombarding.
Furthermore, in the armored unit, the left general, Komatsuna, shouted out loud in a loud voice, but his voice was immediately cut off by the bombardment from the [Type 10 Tank]. The beastmen who had been attacking the wall with the willingness to die heard the retreat bell and turned back.
It can be said that the power of [Type 10 Tank] was enormous. When the main unit of the Initia Kingdom army was destroyed in an instant, the [Type 10 tank] stripped its fangs to the Infantry of the Initia Kingdom Army, which surrounded the east and west of the castle in search of more prey.
Boom! Boom! When the barrels of the ten [Type 10 Tank] ignite, the soil is vigorously rolled up as if the earth is bursting and the bodies of Initia army soldiers flies into the air. The soldiers scattered around and tried to escape, but there was a merciless sweep of machine guns.
"Don't do that anymore! We're losing! The retreat bell is ringing!"
"Gyaaaa!!!"
Sounds of begging and screams between the sounds of the gunfire show how disastrous the Initia soldiers are. A soldier full of injuries who doesn't know life or death, falls to the ground, a piece of a soldier who does not keep its original form is sown on the ground and a sea of blood is created all around.
Just a h.e.l.l picture. The Initia infantry, facing the walls of the east and west, took time to escape because they had entered deep and it presented the aspect which could be called a living h.e.l.l.
"Whether the main unit chose to withdraw early. The battle was decided. You probably didn't expect a tank to come out"
It is n.o.buhide who relaxed his cheeks on the wall for a breath. This is not to delight the enemy soldiers deaths. He thinks of his own win.
n.o.buhide knew that today's battle might have been dangerous. But if he looks at the results alone, this is a result that can be said to be a complete seal without leaving a single death. All in all, thanks to the town's population of 10,000.
The 「That」 moment. It was when he tried to intercept the enemy's harsh attack without revealing his ability. He could hear a voice that only he could hear and he could see something that only he could see.
《The fund has reached 1 trillion yen and the population has reached 10,000. Would you like to update 『Era Settings』? When renewing, it costs 1 trillion yen of funds. Click [Yes] to update. If you do not want to update, please press [No] 》
【Yes/No】
The mechanical voice that echoes in his mind and the image reflected on the retina. That is because of the population reaching 10,000. Calling 『Town Data』, the population was [10028].
Family registration was faster than expected. It's common to think what happened, but n.o.buhide acted first rather than thinking.
Whether to update 『Era Setting』. Of course, he chose [Yes].
《 『Era Setting』 has become 『Modern』 》
That's the only reaction he got. Given the struggles up to now, it seemed like there could be something a bit more, but there's no help without it.
However, the things that can be purchased were renewed. Modern items that had been purchased at a price 100 times the regular price were displayed at the same price. Looking at it, there was a sense of accomplishment. n.o.buhide was delighted with the possibility of expanding what he would buy in the future. However, at present, there is no time to think ahead.
n.o.buhide immediately [Purchase] nine [Type 10 Tank] in the special zone. With this, there are 10 [Type 10 Tank] together with the one he bought some time ago. That's enough. n.o.buhide then ordered the defenders at each wall――thirty people who had trained to this day――to immediately go to the tank.
――The end is the current situation. The enemy's camp was crushed in a blink of an eye, and the war situation was decided in the form of an overwhelming victory here.
The enemy army retreats without even reporting a single arrow. In this way, n.o.buhide's thought came to the conclusion that a single tank that had been [Purchased] before may have been enough, but this idea was canceled.
(If there is only one tank, it may be stuck to that general named Komatsuna and lost)
Komatsuna's power was extraordinary. But if there were more than one, the enemy would have no way to move on anymore. Did Komatsuna's voice disappear? Unfortunately, during the bombardment, the sand smoke was heavy and it was not clear what had happened to Komatsuna.
Eventually, the Initia kingdom soldiers in the east and west were scattered and the attack ended. What about pursuit? Either way, after reloading ammunition, a break will be needed. n.o.buhide concluded that way.
"Di, Did we win......?"
"How great was that vehicle......"
The surrounding beastmen are stunned as they watched the battle. The tank is a weapon whose details are unknown except for Chief Jiharu´s wolfmen tribe. Occasionally, they only saw the whole town and it was natural that they would be suspicious.
"Fujiwardono, that is......"
The Ox Chief was taken aback as he asked. n.o.buhide didn't understand the question, so n.o.buhide interpreted the intention and answered it.
"I couldn't get it right away for some reason"
"Umm....... Quite terrible. So what are we going to do?"
"There's nothing to do. The enemy also retreats from the main squad. They cant win anymore"
"Is that so, gain victory"
The Ox chief muttered as if to make him realize the victory. Then his face smiles violently and he speaks loudly to the walls.
"Our victory! The enemy is leaving! Everybody laugh!"
Silence reign over the wall. However, it is only for a little while. In just a few seconds, Uoooooo! The beastmen shouted at once, the roar of victory. Subsequently, each spits out words of their choice toward the escaping Initia Kingdom Army.
"It serves you right, humans!"
"Did you realize our power? Keep running to the ends of the world!"
Satisfaction. They all look very satisfied. n.o.buhide thought that the beastmen would be drunk by the never-drinked sake of victory over an human army.
Voices celebrating the victory spread throughout the walls and the beastmen keep raising cries of victory forever. It continued until an enemy messenger with a white flag came.
One horseman comes from the enemy as a messenger. It is a beautiful person with silver hair flying on silver armor.
That person looked like a woman, but the costume reminded n.o.buhide of a man. The word pure white suits perfect for him. A white man came with a white flag.
"My name is Reanis! Fujiwardono, please lay down your arms now!"
The voice of the messenger came from the front gate. n.o.buhide was surprised to hear the name. The thought of being alive came first, but then he thought about whether to shoot or not to shoot.
If he shoots, the battle with the Initia Kingdom of Initia will be settled. This area will be safe for the time being.
"Are you really the enemy general, Reanis!"
"Yes, I swear I'm not lying!"
There is doubt that the enemy general will come alone. But n.o.buhide has to make sure about that first. There is a technique.
『Tell me three countries from our original world!』
Words popping out of n.o.buhide's mouth. The beastmen who were there fluttered their eyes because of the j.a.panese language. The reaction is natural, since only Jiharu´s wolf tribe knows about it among the beastmen.
『America! England! France!』
Reanis made a steady response. There is no mistake. Those are countries that existed in the original world.
In the letter of surrender recommendation, Reanis claims to be a j.a.panese. Moreover, it was clear that it was a person who a.s.sumed the general post though the appearance was confirmed by binoculars and it was not understood whether it was really Reanis. If the evidences are aligned so far, it will not be a shadow warrior either.
"I understand! But what's the point of coming here and fixing the contradiction!"
"I think it's a good story about selfishness, but I want to talk first! Yes, we have used force to invade the Dryad Kingdom and made its territory our own! Today, I came to this Fujiwara territory because of making it my own! But it's also true that we were trying to talk to people from the same country! Let me ask! While having such power, why didn't you move to the importance of the country!"
"As lords, I have the minimum will to dedicate myself to the sake of my country! But this time it was beyond that minimum category! I don't want to sacrifice the people for my country!"
"Do you intend to take care of your self-esteem! Don't you want to use that power for the continent?"
"I don't think so! I'll do my best for me and my territory! That's it! Only today I've paid the sparks that fall!"
"If you don't see here, you can't see it! There are things you can't see unless you actually see it! Have you ever seen the current state of this continent? Taiping is too short on this continent and there is always a mayhem going on! Many people are suffering and panting!"
"So what about it! There are things that people can and cannot do! I don't want to risk myself and stick my head in the fight of others! What are you doing in the first place? I don't need any c.r.a.p here! If you're still going to continue, you're going to be my opponent!"
There is no necessity of argument to n.o.buhide though the exchange of words was repeated before one is aware. Overwhelmingly, his own army has won. The beastmen also agreed with n.o.buhide's willingness to continue the fight and screamed to scare Reanis.
"No, the question and answer is up to here! I understand Fujiwardono´s nature well! I wish to make peace! Please let's decide the conditions here!"
Considering each other's position, a request for peace from Reanis is synonymous with surrender. It's just gentle. In addition, having the conditions presented here is an unconditional surrender.
However, suspicions arose in n.o.buhide's heart. Considering each other's superficial power differences, there is no unconditional surrender. At present, the population of Initia Kingdom has a population and territory that are several tens or hundred times greater than those of Fujiwara territory. Should he consider this peace only as ad hoc and not asking Reanis to keep his promise?
"Do you intend to give me a blank check! What's hidden behind your sweet words!"
"There is no such idea! If you doubt it, I don't care if the condition is this neck! "
Suddenly, n.o.buhide thought about what would happen if Reanis was killed here. If the ambition of the united continent of the Initia Kingdom was caused by Reanis's intense ambition, it would be the end if Reanis died. Perhaps it is possible to give up the territory they have occupied to this day.
But if there is another will behind Reanis or a successor to Reanis, the story will change. If n.o.buhide kills Reanis here, the Initia Kingdom will eventually enter the Fujiwara territory. In other words, the death of Reanis doesn't seem to make much sense.
Does n.o.buhide wish to have the Dryad Kingdom territory back? After the reign of the throne, the land of the Dryad Kingdom is his own.
But this was an outrageous idea. With n.o.buhide's current strength, there is no way to protect that territory from other nations. Just as with the lack of soldiers, no matter how modern weapons are used, it is only a pretense. The soldiers don't know the essence of weapons and if something is wrong, they'll get stuck on the road.
In the first place, what he wants most now is gold. n.o.buhide has spent a great deal of money to date. His current funding has fallen to around 90 billion yen. With many people, the future is a bit uncertain.
Now that 『Era Setting』 has become 『Modern』, its worthless to kill Reanis. Then, it will be the greatest profit to his ability to obtain money above all.
"Fine! I will send a peace messenger over there!"
n.o.buhide isn't stupid to stand in front of the enemy. Reina and Jiharu were convened and after consulting with them, they decided on the request. After that, a desk and chair were prepared in front of the gate and Reina and Jiharu held discussions on peace conditions on behalf of the Fujiwara territory.
Within a short period of time, peace was reached under the enormous amount of compensation, the pledge not to step into this land ever again and other conditions. Of course, it is not possible to believe it completely, but it is decided that Reanis will be held hostage in order to obtain the first enormous compensation for the time being.
Once, Reanis returned to the army again, he came back with Initia Kingdom soldiers without weapons to retrieve the survivors. The only thing they do is recover the injured people and it is decided that the disposal of the corpses are done here. The real intention is that they don't want to wander around for a long time.
Thus, the Fujiwara territory battle has come to an end. If you open the lid, it's only a one-day battle. However, the preparation for many months was done and n.o.buhide was filled with the feeling that the load on his shoulders had finally dropped.
Well, the battle is over. Currently, the recovery of injured soldiers by Initia soldiers is under surveillance of the beastmen.
But there is one thing that n.o.buhide is worried about. It is the family register with an abnormal speed.
n.o.buhide asked Chief Jiharu for the defense of the wall and he returned to the government office with Reina. What he saw was members of Polo Company who are doing the procedure of the family register and those who seem to have taken a well-dressed senior position among the soldiers of the Dryad Kingdom. In addition, Edenstam and Queen Olivia are working in the government office to register their family register.
"I felt that it was meaningful to keep registering the family register even during the war and I asked them to cooperate. Her Majesty offered her cooperation. Was that annoying?"
Reina is polite and asks a question while bowing. Of course, there is no way that it is annoying.
"No, you did well"
It is a blessing that she understands my intention without saying. An ally that is hard to get. Very reliable. So, it is necessary to deliver the good news to them like that.
"Everyone,we have won the battle! I will serve alcohol and meat to everyone today! Heal the fatigue of your trip and nourish your energy to your heart's content!"
Oooo, inside and outside the government office! The cheers rise. Well, even if it is called meat, it is a strange lying chicken breast meat of the production area.
[Frozen Chicken Breast] [1 kg] 390 yen
Over the course of a day, family registration proceeded smoothly and it ended up with the registration of the Dryad Kingdom soldiers at last. The population is about 18,000. Everybody was given a home and taking advantage of the fact that modern products were cheaper to buy, n.o.buhide distributed soft futons and blankets. With that, it enriches the daily life of the people and the people's mind is obtained.
n.o.buhide also held a festival to celebrate the victory over two days, pacifying those who were tired of the long journey and battle. Whether it was the human-living section or the compartment where the beastmen lived, people were very excited and you could hear the voices of joy until late at night.
During such a festival. he was discussing with Reina ahead of the ceremony of his coronation. The place is among the other government offices that also exist in heterogeneous settlements.
"A country name and the name of this town?"
If n.o.buhide gets the throne, Reina said he should give a name to the country and a name to the town as soon as possible. Everything has a name. The southern village, where the lord's mansion was located, had a name and in the former desert town it was called the beastman town by humans.
There were no names for the wolf tribe and their homes, but this was not necessary. Since there was no communication with others, the words town and home were sufficient. But not this time.
"But even so, let's add something after the place name"
I honestly can't think of anything. I thought about something like j.a.pan or Zipang, but I don't think it's a good idea. Is it because of the difference in scale?
"I have one suggestion"
"What is it?"
"For the country name and this town, why don't you give either of them the name of Fujiwarsama himself?"
"......I'll ask why"
"The most dangerous thing for a new nation is a rebellion. By giving the name of Fujiwara, you will be able to let the people know that the town is both Fujiwarlike in name and reality. Those who try to revolt will lose one of their causes"
It might be true. Certainly, when n.o.buhide names it Fujiwara Country or Fujiwara Town, it will be difficult to justify the cause of rebellion. He has a feeling that if someone have a complaint, they can get out.
But giving it his own name? It's kind of confusing. Well, it can't be helped. When asked whether to choose shame or the danger of rebellion, n.o.buhide choose shame.
"Which one? I think it's better to name them both after me"
"That would be confusing. I recommend that you give the country name a different name than Fujiwara's first and last name and why not add it as a new name of Fujiwarsama. That's what many kings have done since ancient times"
So that's it. For example, if he names the country Tokyo, his name would be n.o.buhide Fujiwara Tokyo. Speaking of which, Princess Mireille of Sandra Kingdom must have had Sandra's name in her first and last name.
"So let's decide on a new national name and take the town's name from Fujiwara's name"
When the policy was decided, n.o.buhide thought about the name of the country and the name of the town and worried for a while. He goes around the world as long as he remembers the countries and places of the past world. Eventually there was something flas.h.i.+ng. n.o.buhide was confident that this is it.
"Okay, I've decided. The country name is Edo. Let's name the town Fujiwara"
Edo is Edo. My [Ability to create a town] began in the Edo period. The current city is also from the Edo Period. That's why Edo.
And in Katakana, Edo is really western-style. Not bad, I think it's a rather cool name.
But apart from Edo, Fujiwara is really embarra.s.sing. n.o.buhide wonders if he will be called by his first name instead of his last name.
At the end of the two-day festival, the following day, the coronation ceremony was performed. The place is the northernmost of the human settlement area. A sandbox was erected in front of the gate leading to the inhabited area, and on the stage were me, Queen Olivia and the wolfmen with rifles.
The imperial soldiers are watching the stage mixed with the general public. They are not allowed to carry weapons today. However, as n.o.buhide said, 『This is a formal dress!』, only armor was worn.
In front of the crowd, Queen Olivia explains in tears in front of everyone. First, she lamented her powerlessness and apologized to the spirits and people of her ancestors for causing today's situation. Next, she praised n.o.buhide for defeating the Initia Kingdom Army and told he was worthy of being the king.
n.o.buhide thinks it's a really impressive speech that really touches people. Mercy on the queen whose country has been robbed. Glory to the new king. Everyone was naturally made to think like that.
All the soldiers are weeping at the end of the Dryad Kingdom. Those who followed up to the end. The allegiance to the country and the Queen is probably more than one.
In particular, Prime Minister Edenstam is bad. He falls on his knees and hits the ground, shouting 「Uoooo! Uoooo!」 and scattering tears and having a runny nose. Despite the high density of people, there was a gap of about a meter in diameter around Edenstam.
At the end of the Queen's speech, her crown, cloak and cane are handed to n.o.buhide. Those are the testimonies of the king. n.o.buhide puts on the crown first, then the cloak and lastly he takes the cane.
"My name is n.o.buhide Edo Fujiwara! The name of the new country is Edo! The name of this town is Fujiwara Town! As king of this country, I promise peace and prosperity to those who live properly!"
When n.o.buhide declared with the cane in his hand, a huge applause occurred. Anyway, his achievements to date seem to have been favorable for the residents. In this way, the coronation was over and n.o.buhide became the king of a nation.
After that, a festival is held again. This time, to celebrate the birth of a new king. Today must be better for the people.
However, n.o.buhide still has something to do. He must report to the beastmen that he has taken the throne.
Olivia has to come with him and from today on onward she will be allowed to live in a heterogeneous settlement. Well, even if she's a hostage, she is allowed to meet anyone in a limited area and there will be no such inconvenience.
I took Olivia, still crying, behind, and moved on to the heterogeneous settlement. Olivia's tears are painful because of her beauty, though I don't mean to eat it separately. In addition, Edenstam shouts, 「Olivisama! Olivisama!」, which was very noisy.
When they enter the heterogeneous settlement, the gates for entry and exit are locked. War is tiresome, but rituals like today are also tiresome. n.o.buhide was just trying to exhale, 「Huu」――.
"Huu, I'm tired"
Oh? He thought. Someone uttered a faint voice before n.o.buhide uttered it. He wonders who it is and looks at the surrounding wolfmen.
The tone must have been a female voice. Looking at Mira, she shook her head desperately to dispel doubts. A little cute.
n.o.buhide looks at others. But others are just men. Is it true that a man did a female voice purposely? What is the purpose? Or is that a hobby?
No, there is another woman. When n.o.buhide turned around his face to her, their eyes met and the woman returned a smile. A beautiful smile that makes n.o.buhide admire her. The voice earlier seemed to be anxious.
Even so, n.o.buhide was a little worried that Olivia's tears had stopped cleanly. It's as if the tears were just acting, but that's not the case. n.o.buhide had a pure impression of her without mercy, although he had only touched her a little yet. Then Olivia says to him.
『Then, could you show me around, Fujiwarsan』
"Yes, I understand......eh? Now what"
n.o.buhide doubted his ears and inquired back. The wolfmen guards are also surprised. Because the words from Olivia were j.a.panese words that he taught the wolfmen.
『I'm finally released from the heavy responsibility and feel very refreshed. Please treat me well, Fujiwarsan』
Not a false face. Natural body smile. It is completely different if you think she is a neat and elegant lily flower. n.o.buhide thought of a sunflower which bloomed a big ring in the sun from seeing the appearance of Olivia laughing carelessly.
