"All right, I guess it's my turn now. I'm gonna go now, Kyle.

"Yes, please, byte-brother. Take care of yourself."

"Oh, I'll take care of it. Baltic, let's get out of here.

　Kyle took Reed's army, defeated some bandits, and succeeded in taking control of the outskirts of the former site of the Holy City.

　And once the Reed army returned, the Baltic army led by Bait's brother took turns to march out.

　They destroyed the bandits at the location Kyle had instructed and established a new stronghold there.

　And so, using that base as a new bridgehead, they further expand their power.

　With this, the Reed family succeeded in steadily increasing their territory.

"I heard that the name of the city here will be Richard. That's a good name, Kyle."

"Thank you, brother Ars. I combined the Reed family name with Charlotte's."

"It's pretty fancy to build a town for the man you're going to marry and name it after him, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about, brother Ars? I'm just referring to my brother Ars, who built Dresslina for Mr. Lilina."

"Oh, I see. Well, I used to do something similar."

　The Reed family gained a new fiefdom.

　Having received permission from the Kingdom of Fontana to cut off their lands, the Reeds seized the site of the Holy City, at the request of the Blue Saint Mirialia, who was at the site of the Holy City.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Holy City itself was raised to the sky by my brother, the Shield of God, and now the Reeds have made the ground part of the city their base.

　A fortress-like city built on the banks of the Holy Lake, a newly created man-made lake.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle named it Richard.

　Incidentally, he plans to name the castle he will eventually build Charlotte Castle.

　Charlotte's face was not so full of joy and her cheeks were blushing happily when she was told about it while she was still in Fontana.

　It seems that Kyle has won his wife's heart perfectly.

　With the city of Richard at its center, the Reed family is expanding its power to the east.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the lands originally ravaged by Naja are in that direction.

　They gain territory in the form of a lateral line to the south of the royal sphere.

　Therefore, from the northern part of the metropolitan area, the powerful house of Reinsatz is located to the west, and the kingdom of Rizzolte is located to the south.

　The vacant area between the two camps will be taken, but it will not be a simple matter to manage the territory in the future.

"Are the former bandits and the peasants who were ruled by them going to accept the Reeds?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So far, they are obediently following. I've dealt with a number of bandits, but it seems that none of them had that much money in reserve. Once they realized that the Reeds had enough food to keep themselves from starving, they became quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"As I thought, the policy of giving money away is effective in the short term. The places that can afford to accumulate wealth are being crushed by the part-time brothers because they don't listen to us.

"In terms of fighting, yes. But we have a lot of work to do. First of all, we have to find out who and how many people live where and determine their land, so we can collect the taxes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, but I'm sure Kyle has plenty of people who can do that paperwork for him. Good luck with that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, as it stands, the Reeds have been accepted by those around them.

　Or rather, the lack of food is the main reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The city of Richard is surrounded by a wall, and the abundance of food has gradually attracted people who are in need of food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, even if the bandits could manage for a while, they probably didn't have enough food to last through the winter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing the Reed family's overwhelmingly strong military operation and almost unscathed in their banditry, the weaker bandit groups came to the Reed family themselves to offer their help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle forgave them generously, and it is said that he succeeded in showing the people who were frightened by the bandits that they could rely on him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Reed family's reputation is well deserved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there is a band of thieves who are not so keen on the Reeds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such is the case with a bandit group that has a leader who has emerged from the many bandits that have appeared in the surrounding area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such a group grew and increased its numbers by absorbing other bandit groups.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, they were able to secure enough food to survive the winter, and above all, they were like fake lords who threatened the inhabitants of the surrounding area to pay up their crops to collect taxes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From their point of view, the sudden appearance of the Reeds would appear to be nothing more than a thief's right to steal from them what they have taken, their lands, and the profits they intend to continue taking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the reason why they could not act to obey them meekly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But to such an opponent, Kyle decided to turn to his brother Bite.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He probably expected to get a spectacular result by sending his fighting brother against such a belligerent opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the Bite Brothers did not disappoint Kyle's expectations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Bite Brother, who is as powerful as the head of the family, leads the cavalry mounted on Valkyries and fights with great flair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, the Bight Brother had fought against bandits in other noble families before, and he was used to fighting against them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He went on a wild rampage, finding bandits and slashing them to shreds and throwing them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even the defeated bandits did not have an easy time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After all, they had originally come to fight for their lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Stopping banditry is directly linked to death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the members of the bandits, who were scattered after their strongholds were destroyed, scattered to various places and tried to attack merchants and villagers like guerrillas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But in every case, the Bite Brother chased them around on his Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The area around the village was now much safer than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe now the merchants will be able to come to this lawless area a little more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the time being, I think we can say that we have completed the first step of taking control of the suburbs of the former site of the Holy City and stabilizing it by the end of this year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, the second step is next.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is necessary to further stabilize the Reed territory and win the hearts and minds of the residents more firmly for the next year and beyond.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To do so, Kyle had come up with a secret plan.
