"Can you hear me, Kiku?"

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

"Yes. I can hear you, Mr. Alphonse. It's amazing, isn't it? I can hear Master Alphonse's voice in my ear, even though I'm in another room. It's amazing.

"Good. I guess that's it for now. Come back."

Yes, sir.

　The horns of the Valkyrie born in New Barka Street were cut off.

　He then used the horns to create a new type of magical communication device.

　It is worn from the ear to the chin, and has a magic circle painted on its surface.

　When the wearer speaks, the device seems to sense vibrations such as the movement of the wearer's jaw.

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

　The person to whom the wearer speaks also receives the vibrations.

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

　Then, the vibrations are heard as voice.

　It is said to be called bone conduction, which is easy to use because it allows the user to talk with the communicator while hearing the surrounding sound with the ear.

"Is it OK if I use this communicator, Mr. Alphonse?

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

"Of course. That's why I made it. For the time being, I'm going to give them mainly to the captains of the Barka mercenaries, especially those who come from orphaned families. You can use it on a regular basis to get used to it, but don't spend all your time talking nonsense, okay?"

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

"I understand. I'll take care of it.

　We decided to give the new magic communicator we had made to the former orphans who belonged to the mercenary group.

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

　If it is true, it might be better to give them to Walter and Zen, who are also the captains of the group.

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

　But the number of them is still limited.

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

　For the time being, we will give priority to the former orphans who have been educated by Ai.

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

　There was a good reason for this.

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

　Because, although Walter and Zen are indeed experienced in actual battles and good captains, Kiku and the others are better in administrative work.

　After all, the trainer is Ai.

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

　They are taught how to read, write, calculate, and even how to run an army.

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

　Kiku likes fighting more than studying, but he can do office work too.

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

　And among them, Ai especially emphasized supply for the battlefield.

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

　Strength is important on the battlefield.

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

　If you are weak, you are nothing.

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

　No matter how good you are at studying, if you are weak, you can't do anything.

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

　However, there are different types of strength, and the strength of an individual is a little different from the strength of a group.

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

　Basically, in a battle, the one who has more numbers is stronger.

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

　However, it is not simply a matter of increasing the number.

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

　It is important to have good leadership skills, and it is also necessary to have enough food and equipment to sustain such numbers.

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

　Food and equipment are consumables.

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

　They decrease with the passage of time.

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

　There is nothing we can do about it.

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

　Then they must be replenished somewhere.

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

　The common way of replenishment is looting.

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

　They take supplies from the victors and keep them for themselves.

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

　This would be the fastest way.

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

　However, Ai thought that if they wanted to build a stronger army, it would be important to build an organizational network that would allow them to replenish their own supplies.

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

　Apparently, as a result of repeated discussions at the Council of Wise Men in Barca, it was concluded that rather than advancing the army while looting various regions, it would be better to fight while maintaining a supply network, even if it meant building a dedicated supply unit.

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

　Therefore, I would like to make the supply system work well for the future, but this may be surprisingly difficult.

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

　What is the most difficult is the mental aspect.

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

　Most of the strong men want to fight and achieve results themselves.

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

　In such a case, supply troops are not good for them.

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

　If they are just carrying cargo in the base or in the rear, they have less chance to encounter the enemy, and it is difficult for them to take credit for the success.

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

　Therefore, they sometimes do not like to be sent to a dedicated supply unit.

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

　Moreover, supply was not an easy job.

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

　It is not enough to simply replenish what is depleted.

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

　This may be fine when the size of the army is small, but as the size of the army grows, it will not be able to keep up.

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

　It is necessary to predict in advance the number of your own troops in each area and the number of consumables that are expected from that number, and to supply them ahead of time.

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

　High computational ability is required to do this without any problems.

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

　This is not something that can be done by just anyone with experience in actual battles.

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

　In fact, many of them cannot even write or do calculations properly.

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

　Probably, even if you entrust Walter or Zen with a supply unit, they would have to be able to do it with a rough calculation or not.

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

　In fact, it would be a good job if they could still do a decent job.

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

　A surprising problem is the misappropriation of supplies.

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

　The military needs a large amount of supplies, and when they see them all stored in one place, most people think, "If I have this much, even if I cheat a little, I won't be caught.

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

　And it is a big problem if it becomes a common practice to take out supplies with such a thought.

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

　It may not be obvious once or twice, but it will make a big difference if it is done many times.

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

　Moreover, if there are a number of people who think like that, supplies will be depleted at an accelerated rate.

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

　Therefore, the supply team is important, although it is not so simple, and must be entrusted to trustworthy people.

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

　The students of Ai are the best qualified to do so at the moment.

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

　Therefore, we have decided to give them a new type of magic communication device so that they can work more efficiently.

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

　Now we will check if there are any inconveniences while actually using it in the unit.

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

　In this way, the supply team was prepared along with the newly made magical equipment.
