‘Starting a war right now...’

“Why do you think that?”

“We won’t make it pass the winter’

“Milord, the scale of our farmland is small. Even if we do harvest by this winter it would be very bad for us. Sir Timothy and I  have concluded that more than 1,200 people will live up to late winter, and when winter comes, the other 300 will die from hunger. ”

This was something that Kang Chul-in had already known.

At present the Laputa territory had received 756 people(256 men/500 women) from the Tempaman Territory, and the population increased by more than half. This was why it was impossible to go through winter with their crop yields. So Kang Chul-in wasn’t trying to raise an army right after harvest.

“Must it be right now?”

“Yes, it is best to do it today”

“The reason is?”

"The problem of food shortages is the same now and after harvest. So why not plunder the farmland of the enemy early and procure the scarce food quickly?”

What Kwak-jung was suggesting was an extreme way.

Invading the enemy-> plundering food -> feeding the army with the plundered food -> moving the remaining food to the territory....
