Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 124: Hell In The Training Ground
there's not much going on during the four-day journey, as I expected, we'll be in Randall's territory in four days. it took me about five to six hours to reach the city that was the former Sinovac region.it should have been that way, but because my father and I had improved the road conditions in the entire Randall area, the journey to Chevron takes three to four hours.
it needs a high price to improve road conditions.so now, the road to the Randall region is not only land, but a kind of ancient asphalt or in my world is often called ancient concrete. although the price is expensive, the result is worth the distribution of goods more smoothly, the more easily transported to the city of Chevron and Romeon, and several other advantages, including political benefits.
Lia of course asked me if her territory could also be made like this. as a good subordinate, I answered her firmly.Of course, No! or rather not yet, at least, the funds that are now available are now only enough to expand the territory.
"hmmmph! you don't have to be as blunt as a stupid underling!" ahtur she sulked.even her words were rude, but because Lia looked so cute so I sincerely ridiculed like that.
I moved and sat down next to Lia and stroked her head, she looked embarrassed but did not reject her at all. "Just be calm, if Anna wants to be like that, I can take care of it. Well, even if it's expensive, I'll still try to negotiate with the investors."
Lia shook her head.she might be troublesome but still knew the financial limits of her territory.and understood what her priorities were so she did not force me to do anything burdensome.because it was nice so as a reward I spoiled Lia, she said, the mood was good all the way.

the temporary training ground of the Knights was a semi-permanently built place. Almost the entire building was made of wood, which could be dismantled at any time. there are five dormitories made to accommodate three hundred people.the kitchen, bath, and administrative building.
Issac guided Aurellia to the place where the Knights were being trained.When they got there, the princess was greeted by an astonishing sight.
"I-issac! is this just regular training? or...hell?" well, it was only natural that Aurellia asked like that to Issac. Instead of seeing the would-be Knights sword, spear, or archery, Aurellia actually saw how the would-be Knights were 'tortured'. running around the field in full armor, crawling on the ground and being shot at by various magic from above, and forced to swim with legs and hands tied.what the fuck!?
contrary to Aurellia's expression, Issac actually smiled.it made Aurellia shudder.it was not the sweet smile that usually showed her.it was the devil's smile when torturing her opponent.
w-what is this guy really thinking!? Aurellia inevitably had to look at all this and would ask Issac for an explanation later. Issac also came to a realization, it seemed like after this, he would receive a long lecture.
