Fun Territory Defense of the Easy-Going Lord - Chapter 77
[Another Perspective] The King’s Astonishment
He was a strange boy.
Not to compare him to my own children, but no matter how many times we exchanged words face to face, I never felt like I was talking to a child.
But he is not a bad person and has no ill will toward the kingdom.
Besides, he is the same age as Pista and is surprisingly competent.
If that is the case, it would be foolish to go out of our way to antagonize him.
Give him what he wants most and sell him a favor.
With the boy’s personality, he would be able to keep him mentally bound to the kingdom just by doing so.
If that power that can build a fortress in the blink of an eye is handed over to a hostile country, it will surely be to the detriment of our country.
Well, as far as I have heard his straightforward spirit as a lord, he would not attack other countries by himself, but it is certainly better to have him as an ally.
“Indeed… the Marquis of Fertio has an extraordinary son.”
Aperta said.
“But I heard that the Marquis had Baron Van removed from his house, as I recall. Because the Marquis is one of the most successful warriors among His Majesty’s valued nobles. Perhaps one of the reasons is that he was not a four-element mage.”
“…That sounds painful to my ears. Is it also influenced by the fact that the nobles have changed their mindset in order to build a strong country?”
We must take a fresh look at each of the magic arts.
People tend to think of the four elemental magic as the top magic, dividing each magic into intermediate and inferior magic.
However, a person with magical aptitude, who was recognized by everyone as an inferior magic user, has done such a great job.
When I return to Royal Capital, I will redo the research of each magical aptitude under my name.
“Now all that’s left to do is to slay the dragon.”
Aperta raises an eyebrow when I tell him this.
“It’s a pity that we went in small numbers so that the king’s absence would not be known. This group of people can probably defeat a medium-sized dragon, but…”
I laughed at Aperta, who said this in a troublesome manner, and looked at Van’s back as he went ahead of me.
“Maybe we’ll see something interesting again.”
“Although I have a feeling that I’ve seen enough.”
“Ha ha, indeed.”
Laughing, I followed Van to the top of the ramparts.
“Um, Your Majesty! We can’t go any further to the front…!”
“Don’t worry. I can at least protect myself.”
I lightly ignore the voice of my kinsman’s concern for me and stand on top of the ramparts.
Looking around from the top of the ramparts, I could already see men in unusual armor standing by the baristas, waiting for instructions.
They must be the knights of Baron Van’s organization of villagers.
Looking up, I saw the shadow of a small dragon.
It is flying very high.
“A wyvern, a two-legged flying dragon, flying alone…?”
There is only one dragon shadow, and it is flying in a large arc in the sky.
I feel a great sense of discomfort.
No, I am almost half convinced.
“Prime Minister, your opinion.”
Aperta nodded deeply and held his staff in one hand.
It was custom-made with high-purity magic crystals on the top.
Aperta pointed to the sky with his staff.
“There is rarely a situation where a wyvern will fly alone to attack. If that’s the case, I’m wondering if there is another threat nearby that is different from the wyvern.”
“Agreed. Is it Jiernetta?”
“I’m afraid so, given the location. If they move a large force, they will be noticed, so they must be working in tandem with the knights of local lords in neighboring area or smaller villages.”
Aperta expressed his observations.
Wyverns are relatively small dragons, and would usually move in a pack of five or more.
They form would form packs of up to a hundred, and would hunt in groups.
Because they cannot use breath breath attacks, the greatest threat of dragons, and because they are not agile on land, they are treated as sub-dragons, a lower class of dragon, but even one wyvern is a sufficient threat.
There is a magical aptitude to capture and enslave those wyverns.
Brainwashing and puppet magic.
Brainwashing the wyvern to make it an ally, and then manipulating it like a puppet.
This method of using wyverns is practiced by a few countries in the North, and the Kingdom of Jiernetta has adopted it.
Whatever the case may be, there is a strong possibility that the wyvern is manned by a puppet mage.
If they use the wyvern to do something, it is very likely to be discovered that they came across the border.
But what is the enemy’s goal?
“Why would they target a remote village and not a key fortified city?”
“The fortified city of Scuderia has stopped the advance of the Kingdom of Jiernetta on three occasions. They may be planning to use this village as a foothold. Well, they probably don’t know that this village is in such a situation.”
“That would be true. It is a substandard village that even I, who had heard the reports, could not have imagined. Even Jiernetta’s intelligence network most likely didn’t get all the details.”
I agree and look around.
The splendid walls and defensive facilities almost make me hesitate to call it a village.
But the important thing is that the knights are unique in appearance, and to put it bluntly, it is impossible to judge their abilities and skill level.
“…From the side, it could be taken as a great opportunity, right?”
“That’s right. I’m not sure what to make of it, but it seems to be giving some instructions from above the wyvern. Perhaps…”
Hearing Aperta’s words, I moved quickly.
“Baron Van! The enemy is not only the wyvern, but most likely a small group of elite knights as well! Be careful!”
“Understood! Either way, the adventurers’ town is still not well protected, so let’s evacuate them here! Dee!
“Ha! I’ll ask them to evacuate to the village immediately!
Van quickly responded to my advice and gave instructions to his men.
He is smart, after all.
He is also quick-witted, and his subordinates trust him so much that they do it immediately without worrying.
It is pleasant to watch the highly skilled knights in training.
“Well, how do you plan to defend it?”
“Originally, the Espa Knights were supposed to establish the first line of defense from the adventurers’ town, but unfortunately, we haven’t even been able to conduct proper exercises yet. So, we will have the Espa Knights guide the evacuation of adventurers, and the full-scale defense will take place in this village.”
“Isn’t this the first time you are fighting a human army?”
“We already had it in mind. No problem.”
“Hmmm, however, it is not easy when the opponent is human. If the enemy has a wise man on their side, they may attack with unimaginable methods depending on their moves.”
I gave him the same advice as I would guide my own child’s thoughts, but Van replied almost without thinking.
“Yes. We are considering a variety of surprise attacks, including siege weapons and magic from long distances, means of breaking down the walls, and ways to enter the village without engaging in battle. In some cases, we are also prepared and ready to abandon this village… just in case.”
He replies with a sullen smile.
Like a knight commander who has fought many battles, he answered with a variety of contingencies in mind.
I would like to ask him about each of these assumptions in detail, but I regret that I don’t have time.
“Everyone! We’ll provide covering fire, so don’t be hasty! Don’t forget your valuables and evacuate calmly!”
“Hey!”
“Oh, I forgot the gold!”
“Where is it? I’ll get it!”
“Don’t be stupid, you idiot!”
Van’s nervousness was evident in his instructions, and the adventurers who responded were somewhat distracted.
The adventurers, who promptly evacuate despite all the fuss, and those who may be the Espa Knights.
After accommodating them, the main gate was closed and the bridge across the moat was raised.
The evacuees were all moving without hesitation without instructions, as if their positions had been decided beforehand.
Even if this village were an ordinary fortified city, it would be quite difficult to make it fall.
The number of residents is small, but they are united around Van, and everyone is thinking and acting on their own to protect the village.
“…This means that even if we can’t take the boy back to the Royal Capital, we’ll have to think of something.”
I muttered quietly and took out my own magic crystal wand.

Trenorol muscle mass
As suggested by Baxmann et al. (166), measuring serum cystatin C
may be extra dependable to estimate GFR in wholesome
people with larger muscle mass and potential delicate kidney impairment.
Cystatin C is a protein that’s produced by all nucleated cells
and is freely filtered on the glomerulus. Compared with
serum creatinine, serum cystatin C concentrations are much less affected by age, intercourse,
race, and, most significantly, muscle mass (167). One study so far has investigated the effect of excessive dosages
of AAS on serum cystatin C concentrations (168).
Serum creatinine and cystatin C concentrations had been measured in 57 current AAS customers, 28 previous customers, and fifty
two non-AAS-using weightlifters. Unfortunately, because of its cross-sectional
setup, this research doesn’t enable to deduce causality.
Proportion of participants of the HAARLEM research that used
one of many under talked about androgens throughout one cycle of anabolic steroids (based on label information).
Some attribute clinical manifestations are nausea, pruritus, fatigue, jaundice, and darkish urine with elevated
bilirubin and ALP, but with out vital elevations
of AST, ALT, and GGT. Such traits are indicative of cholestasis with minimal
irritation of the liver or bile duct. Resolution usually
happens upon discontinuation of anabolic steroids, though some case reports point out
benefits of hydrocortisone and ursodeoxycholic acid treatment[13,39-42].
Different short-acting testosterone preparations include these which are designed to be administered by the sublingual or buccal route.
Such short-acting formulations are of specific concern in sport,
as the exogenous supply of testosterone is quickly eliminated following cessation of treatment.
Increased out-of-competition testing helps to combat the cheat who
is utilizing short-acting preparations and ceasing administration previous to competitors in anticipation of testing.
It is of curiosity that an illicit preparation known as
‘The Cream’ was designed for transdermal application (see
the part ‘Designer steroids’). Oral activity could be conferred by substitution of the 17?-H on the steroid
nucleus with a methyl or ethyl group to make the 17?-alkylated anabolic
steroids.
Furthermore, AAS are usually taken in cycles, with deliberate off-drug durations, to lower potential liver toxicity and adverse results.
This skilled analysis will discover the relationship between AAS use and
CV risk and provide an strategy to the management of AAS within the sports
activities cardiology clinic. Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs), generally known as anabolic
steroids, are a big group of molecules together with endogenously produced androgens, such as testosterone,
as well as synthetically manufactured derivatives [1].
Testosterone, Nandrolone Decanoate (ND), methandienone, and methenolol, are the
most generally abused androgens [2]. AAS use is
widespread as a end result of their capability to enhance muscle development for esthetic functions and athletes’ efficiency,
minimizing androgenic results [3]. Indeed, androgens are able
to improve the size of muscle fibers as nicely as Trenorol muscle mass energy, and while their use was initially restricted to
skilled bodybuilders, these days it has turn out to be more popular amongst recreational athletes [4,5].
Indeed, AASs had a task in the therapy of chronic kidney disease and osteoporosis in postmenopausal
girls, as properly as inoperable breast cancer, and for ailments characterized by a negative
nitrogen steadiness [2].
The common degree of information about the AAS was 2.ninety five out of eight (37/100),
with a median of three. Furthermore, only 36 (10%) individuals had passable knowledge, scoring 80% or extra.
The questions with the very best stage of knowledge have been these asking whether AAS will
increase the danger of CVD and whether cessation of those medication decreases muscle
mass. On the opposite hand, the questions associated to the lowest degree of knowledge were concerning the legality of utilizing these drugs for muscle-building functions and whether cessation of those
drugs would enhance the risk of depression. One Other essential question on the unwanted effects of AASs showed that only roughly 40% of the respondents knew about
this side impact. The research tool used was an electronic questionnaire
generated via Google® paperwork, which was shared as a link on the
Division of Physical Education web site. [newline]All the scholars within the division had been invited to finish the
questionnaire only as soon as. The first section included a consent form that clearly defined the examine goals and emphasized that
all the information collected could be saved confidential and used for research purposes only.
The content is created by healthcare professionals and based mostly on one of the best out there evidence but might turn out
to be outdated or inaccurate over time. The website doesn’t provide medical
recommendation or services and doesn’t establish a doctor-patient relationship.
The homeowners and authors do not assume any legal responsibility or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness,
or usefulness of the knowledge supplied. Following dimerization, the complicated binds to androgen response
components (AREs), that are specific promoter regions of
goal genes, and this interaction impacts the transcription course of [9].
In addition, fast steroid hormone activation can happen by
way of non-genomic pathways, which involve the interference of
the steroid hormone with the G-protein coupled receptor.
Androgen receptors expressed in thyroid tissue may result in thyrocyte proliferation in culture, independent
of TSH, as a outcome of the influence of intercourse steroids on thyroid function [12].
However, the current World Anti-Doping Company (WADA) listing indicates that different
substances with an analogous chemical structure or comparable
biological effect(s) are prohibited. The efficacy and security of the overwhelming majority of designer steroids have not been correctly evaluated in animal and human scientific trials, thus, the use of these medicine may lead
to unexpected unwanted effects. The info summarized in this
evaluate was obtained through an in depth review of the
literature by looking for relevant books and articles with the Internet of Information, SciVerse Scopus, and PubMed databases.
With Out the drug of their system, they might really feel drained
and stressed, cease eating and sleeping, lose their sex drive,
and crave the drug. The average nonprescription dose of anabolic steroids is 10–100 times stronger
than one a doctor would prescribe. This makes unwanted effects much more severe when you use
them and not using a prescription. Mild hirsutism happens in around 1 out of 5 women given one hundred fifty mg testosterone
enanthate every 4 weeks and is reversible after cessation of use (223).
Similarly, in postmenopausal girls who previously underwent hysterectomy with or with out oophorectomy, 12.5 mg and 25 mg
testosterone enanthate weekly for twenty-four weeks led to a small improve in hirsutism (224).
Decrease dosages as a lot as 6.25 mg weekly did
not, suggesting a threshold for developing hirsutism in response to
testosterone at a dosage someplace between 6.25 and
12.5 mg weekly. Technological advances have led to extra sensitive measurements of cardiac construction and function.
In our expertise, normalisation of sperm depend lags behind
normalisation of plasma testosterone concentrations.
Due To This Fact, a wait-and-see policy is justified as a first step, that’s, semen analysis shouldn’t be accomplished inside the first 6 months after stopping anabolic steroids.
If the sperm depend is severely compromised
6 months after the last injection and the affected
person denies AAS use within the final months, blood must be tested to
check gonadotrophin and testosterone levels. As said beforehand,
the recovery section after recent AAS use is characterized by low gonadotrophins,
low testosterone and low SHBG ranges. If gonadotrophin ranges are elevated, particularly
if FSH is disproportionally elevated in comparability with
LH, primary gonadal dysfunction, unrelated to steroid abuse, should be suspected.
Non-steroidal anabolics, include insulin, insulin-like progress hormone (IGF), and
human growth hormone (HGH)—substances which might be produced by the human physique and
are prescribed for legitimate medical uses but additionally sometimes misused for performance enhancement.
Practically one-third of individuals who misuse anabolic steroids turn out to be dependent
on them. That means over time it starts to take higher and extra
frequent doses to get the same effects.
