Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
One Deal
After arriving in the kingdom, the lovers of Issac from the empire did not return immediately. They decided to tour the border provinces of Randall and Venz. It may seem a bit strange because they neglect their duties.
But since they have worked so hard, allowing her lovers to enjoy the holidays a little bit doesn't hurt. After all, too much work will make a person become depressed and become a hindrance in productivity.
Thank goodness they have trusted people who will take their place when everything is gone. So if not for a long time, Issac thought there would be no problem.
Everyone admired the kingdom. Although Venz is not as big as the Reichstaag, but everything runs in an orderly and orderly manner even when crowded. There are no slum narrow alleys. Children play cheerfully and happily in the open gardens scattered throughout Venz.
Highways that become vehicle traffic such as horse carriages or carts are separated from the pedestrian area. This was not limited to the area where the nobles lived. Ordinary folk districts were similarly tidy.
While in the commercial district, not only shops and markets are standing. New buildings that became the center of financial activity in the kingdom were also there. Including national financial institutions and financial institutions belonging to several trade unions. when compared to the Reichstaag, the turnover of money and capital in this place must be much greater even if they are in a state of peace.
"Under the power of the noble queen Aurellia, the kingdom achieved prosperity within three years. This is thanks to his intelligence and hard work. He was helped by Margaret. The smartest girl in the kingdom. Both are deadly duets."
"That's interesting. I've had many conversations with the noble queen Aurellia while in the empire with the communication tools you provided. If I could, I'd like to talk to him directly."
Hohhh. Well no problem anyway. They do have a lot in common and I'm sure they can be close friends. That's what he thinks.
"Lia was very busy. But I can arrange a schedule for you two later. If it were you, I'm sure he would gladly meet you."
Chris was happy. Hmmm, her face looks very sweet and pretty even though she is dressed like a man. Could he still be hiding his true self?
"Accept me, baby? Can you connect me with Via? I also want to talk to him a lot."
When Chris hugged her right arm, Carolina hugged her left. She brought two beauty flowers now. If Angelica and Agatha, they are busy eating meat-filled toast sold on the side of the road.
"There's no problem. I'll call him later, okay?"
They decided to go straight to the palace with Issac's teleportation magic and arrive at his study. After waiting for a while, Aurellia and Olivia came to Issac's office and spent time with all the imperial girls.
It's nice to see all her lovers get along. But his mood was slightly damaged when one of the envoys came with a letter addressed to him. And his mood got worse when he read the contents of the letter.
The content of the letter is more or less like this;
"The scout team has been sent towards the forest that is the border between the Heinz kingdom and the Garlin federation. They detected suspicious activity at some point.
"While it was on the Baltic river, ten boats containing beastmen had clashed with the border regiment troops. It is possible that they will carry out an attack of a larger scale in the near future.
"Sign up, Anna Starfall."
Issac clicked his tongue. It's faster than he imagined. The border regiment has directed a reconnaissance ship on the riverbank to keep a close eye on enemy movements. They were equipped with three cannons. There are also several fishing boats used for undercover missions.
A fourth army and a fifth army based in the eastern province have also been on alert at various points to prevent a possible surprise attack.
Aurellia already knew this information. After the talks with Chris and the others are over, he will invite Aurellia to hold an emergency meeting with the ministry of military affairs to take further action.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
At the headquarters of the fourth army, lieutenant general Adnold, the former chief of the port supervisory knights who is now the leader of the fourth army of the Heinz kingdom is having a meeting with the leader of the fifth army. He was Lieutenant General Charles Hill. Former Starfall squad leader.
"I don't know what their motives are for attacking us. But even if it's a small-scale attack, we can't take this lightly."
Arnold started the conversation. What he said was not wrong. Any aggressive action taken by another state against the Heinz kingdom was a violation of sovereignty. He can't take this for granted.
"Indeed right. We also do not have time to investigate their motives. While waiting for Venz's orders, let's prepare something we can do."
"Yes. We will continue to coordinate with the border regiment to monitor the situation. But worst of all, a larger-scale attack would occur. If we refer to the emergency procedures, we will directly send troops to counterattack."
Charles nodded. The other brigade leaders also agreed. They have alerted their forces at various points. Even if war were to occur in the near future, they were prepared to defend the honor of queen Aurellia and the kingdom of Heinz.
"Lieutenant General Hill, am I a border regiment enough to monitor their activities? It feels like we should also jump in there to work with them in anticipation of the worst."
One of the leaders of the heavy infantry brigade, James, advised the two leaders to cooperate directly with the border regiment. Right, it's James. Issac and Anna's best friends during their time at the academy.
He decides to drop out of the academy because he is married to his girlfriend, Evelyn, and is busy looking for income. Due to his excellent spear and sword skills, Issac personally raised him to command at the 12th heavy infantry brigade as soon as he entered military service.
"Considerate. It seemed that the border regiment alone was not enough to repel the attack if it happened. Alright, from the fifth army, I will send half a light cavalry brigade to the third and some scouting squads to help the border regiment."
"It looks like I am too. James, bring a third of your subordinates to join the border unit. I'll make a cover letter for them later."
James bowed and was ready to carry out the task. Personally, he was also worried because Evelyn and her children lived in Versailles which borders directly with the Garlin federation. So he was happy to be sent there.
The meeting was over and the troops they had prepared had left immediately that day for Versailles.

"That's the story, I'm sure we can't stand idly by when the kingdom's sovereignty is harassed by outside forces. I'm sure sooner or later, a war with the Garlin federation is inevitable."
Aurellia was leading the meeting with Margaret, Issac, the ministry of military affairs and others. Although it adheres to a passive policy, it does not mean that it avoids war. If war is needed to achieve peace, then Aurellia is willing to do so.
After being satisfied talking with Chris and the others, Aurellia immediately held this emergency meeting.
"Her Majesty the queen is right. If we keep this quiet, we will be negligent and we will never be ready to face external threats. That's why, we decided to send a standby signal one to the fourth and fifth armies in the East."
Margaret had the same consideration as Aurellia. He could not look into the eyes of this incident. He did not want to look for trouble, but if they acted first, Margaret was determined to repay them three times.
"If that is the desire of the queen and the prime minister, I will immediately mobilize the troops. I am sure that the fourth and fifth armies have also improvised in regards to this."
The minister of military affairs responded to Aurellia and Margaret's request. His ministry will arrange large-scale deployment of troops for possible war.
"In that case, I will make sure that the Eastern provinces are prepared for this possibility. Although I am sure, Duke Starfall in charge of the eastern province has a plan to address this matter."
Maximilian, who was minister of internal affairs, was responsible for ensuring the readiness of the eastern provinces to support the logistics and needs of the troops. Of course Issac who is here is ready for that.
"certain. I will use the resources in the eastern provinces to the fullest extent possible for this. The logistics and needs of the troops have been carefully prepared and the emergency tax will be immediately applied once this news spreads."
They all came to the same agreement. The war with the Garlin Federation was inevitable.
