Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Patrols On The Western Border
The western border regiment had a force of about 3,500 to 4,000 troops. Their duties were no different from those of other provincial border regiments, which were to supervise and control the border region. Every day for 24 hours, reconnaissance squads of about 100-150 people were sent to ensure that outsiders did not cross the kingdom illegally.
Ideally, if the procedure is appropriate, the border regiment will report any circumstances occurring at the border to the command stationed in their respective provinces.
The western border regiment also regularly reports on conditions. But today is different. Issac came directly there and took care of the situation at the border.
"Lately, there has been no strange movement here. Neither from the Grand Aria empire nor the monsters. Ah I forgot! Usually we also find traces of life in the forest."
Life trail? Nope, no. It doesn't mean there's no life in the forest. Sometimes there are indeed some hunters or adventurers who make tents in the forest. So it's natural.
But it seems like this time it's not that simple. Issac asked the commander of the border regiment to reveal in detail the trail.
"Hmmm..honestly, there is nothing unusual about the trace. There is only one tent that is still installed even though it is a bit messy and the former campfire that looks just turned off. That's it."
"That's it. No, wait a minute. Thats problem. Usually, the adventurers or hunters bring their tents again and as much as possible do not leave any trash or traces."
"Do you mean that this is a trap? Well then, it might be best if we keep an eye on those points."
"Is that? Well, it's better not. That's exactly what they want. When we focus on that, there's a good chance that the enemy will infiltrate our territory and sabotage the vital places in the kingdom."
"Then Mr Starfall, is there any action we should take?"
Issac turned his gaze to the map and marked some points.
"This is a vulnerable point. Due to the geographical condition of this region which was hilly, the place I marked this was a steep region. But there is still a trail that connects the Heinz region and Grand Aria.
"I'm sure you're loosening your guard in this area. It's not a bad thing but if this continues, we'll be cheated.
"Let's increase the care in this place. Also, please tighten the guard. There is a possibility that soon, the bandit action will be rife."
The regimental commander saluted Issac. Goody. In order to support their mission, Issac will soon be putting in place some new soldiers who have graduated from the academy. For the rest, he handed it over to the command of the border regiment.

"Is something like this really necessary? I don't mind the patrol. But you don't have to do this, do you?"
On a horse, Agatha followed Issac who was patrolling by her side. Issac himself asked. Since there was not much she did, Agatha decided to accept that.
"It's okay, right? I just want to see the conditions around the border. Ah, I know, you must be worried about me. Right?"
"Wmphhh! Who is worried about you?! Moreover, with your own strength, you can destroy all your enemies with one strike."
Issac smiled.
"That's right. But it was a little painful when my wife wasn't worried about her exhausted husband."
Eh? Agatha's face flushed. Nah! It's not what Issac thought!
"Bu-not that I mean!! You are strong! Ja-so for....Uhhh!! I don't care anymore! Anyway it's not like you imagined!!"
"Haha! Sorry-sorry. I was just kidding. I'm sure Agatha loves me and is always worried about me. Thanks for that. I love you, Agatha."
Uhhh.Agatha's face became very hot. While Issac was looking at himself while laughing complacently, Agatha became extremely embarrassed. I want to hide in a hole! It is Issac's habit to tempt him.
Along the way, they make out to each other in their own way. Issac teases and Agatha is angry. This is not a boring routine at all and both enjoy their time together.
Nothing unusual they found. That afternoon, they returned to the Mariendolf family mansion and spent the night there. With Angelica, Agatha, Sasha, and Misha.
