"You want us to pretend to be mercenaries?

"Yes."

Rio's demand was to become a mercenary and join the war on the Empire's side.

Fort Skull, a major impulse on the part of the Empire. There were already many mercenaries there, fight with them against the Royal Army.

Exactly. I can leave my own army.

But it's also true that I don't want to damage the Imperial Army for reasons like this one.

"But I've never done a mercenary thing."

Mercenaries are heavily used on the eastern side of the continent.

There is constant war and demand for mercenaries around the area because the small armies are constantly cutting across the territory.

Is there a great war in the kingdom or empire every few years or not?

Besides, there is even less demand for mercenaries because regular armies are deployed if they are also large countries.

Mercenary work in kingdoms and empires is mainly the escort of large convoys by merchants.

There was more demand for mercenaries than adventurers for escort requests that required numbers.

"And I'm not even registered to the Mercenary Guild."

Mercenaries will be able to name mercenaries for the first time by registering in their guild.

A person who has not registered is not recognized as a mercenary where he has been hired by the military.

In the Mercenary Guild, Rank is given in consideration of previous achievements. The employer employs mercenaries with reference to the ranks given in the same way as the Adventurer Guild. Humanity is needed to increase rank while strength is gained.

No matter how powerful you are, you don't trust a person who acts violence against his client.

And I don't trust mercenaries who don't obey orders. It will not be taken into account if you just refuse an unreasonable order.

Mercenary guilds protect their employers, as well as mercenaries.

Mercenaries driven out to war. A compensation fee may be requested from the employer in the event of intentional disgrace or abandonment.

This is a legitimate right conferred on mercenaries who are registered with the mercenary guild, as well as an obligation that must be assumed by their employers.

Of course, being adventurers, we are not enrolled in the Mercenary Guild.

It is possible to register for both guilds, but few people register for both because they have no benefit in registering.

You don't even have to act as a mercenary if you're acting as an adventurer.

Plus I have kids, and if I keep staying in the labyrinth, I get a steady income.

I am not going to be a mercenary who will be held for long periods of time in order to participate in the war.

"Nothing. You don't have to sign up."

Three cards are put out on the table.

Similar cards to Adventurer cards, but with completely different depictions.

"This is a mercenary card?

"Yes."

This is the first time I've seen it because I've never had a connection before.

It's a card to show that you're a mercenary.

The three cards put out have all received considerable ratings with B-ranks.

"I want you to be the owners of that card and head to Fort Skull"

"No, no, it's just going to be hard to be someone else."

There is magic to change your appearance.

But it must continue to consume and activate magic at all times.

Even if you disguise yourself, you are likely to find out the moment you come into contact with someone who knows who disguised you because you don't have such skills.

And forgery of cards is a felony.

No matter how many emperors...... the law must be upheld because you are an emperor.

I can't do such a dangerous thing.

"I'm fine. Counterfeiting cards is a felony, but becoming one is not guilty. That's where I got the guy with the easy disguise."

"Easy?"

"These are the people who used to call themselves Phantom Mercenaries."

"They would know. He was a mercenary in a war more than a decade ago."

Illis, who was damaged in the war at the time, was doing a lot of research.

Some of them participated with few mercenaries, and I was able to find the name of the Phantom Mercenaries.

"But oddly enough, after that war, I stopped hearing the names Patti"

One theory also had information that he was dead.

Mercenaries who often take part in wars. Someone I knew was dead at some point, it doesn't seem unusual.

"No, they just retired"

The Phantom Mercenaries came to the Empire in search of the battlefield.

They were a small mercenary regiment named after a mercenary regiment but with three constituents.

Adventurers, who often deal with demons, did not suit their sexuality, and a mercenary regiment of one woman to two men from Eastern countries who were enrolled in a mercenary guild and rolled around because they were better at fighting against people.

Rewarded for his war with the kingdom, a turning point came to them upon his return to the Imperial capital.

He went to the mercenary guild and was about to hear where the war was likely to take place in the near future.

One of the mercenary men fell in love with a woman who was a waitress at a restaurant that stopped by along the way.

After that, they got married after there was an extra bend. Without his wife, he could not continue to live as a mercenary, turning all over the place, and retired to build a happy family.

Mercenaries who became just the two of us. While they were approaching the waitress wondering if they would be working alone in the future, they thought the man would give up immediately and decided to wait. In the meantime, he signed up as an adventurer to earn money by working alone.

A man who has retired from a mercenary against the expectations of the two.

Neither does Rio know what happened between the two left, but if he noticed, love was to sprout and marry between the two left.

"Oh, I mean, the Phantom Mercenaries just retired from building a happy family in the Imperial City?

"Don't be like that."

The two men had taken advantage of their forged bodies as mercenaries to work in power relations.

The women were close, and the two families lived hand in hand, having been given children at the same time.

"That was three years ago."

A second child made into two families.

That was going to be terrible poison and I was going to fall.

"The killer was a doctor who resented the Phantom Mercenaries."

He was participating as a doctor with his son, who had just become a doctor in the war in which the Phantom Mercenaries joined the war.

The man who was injured in that war.

I was badly confused with quite a few serious injuries.

The doctor, who was full of hands in the other patients, decided to leave the man's treatment to his son. Fortunately, although the injury was terrible, it was at a level where the more allowances rather than life-threatening, the more I could return to my original life.

Even my son, who has just become a doctor, can be treated.

The decision was not a mistake as a doctor.

But it's not necessarily the same idea even for those who are injured.

A son who treats slow things diligently.

"What, you're going to get all mottled up! I fought for you guys with my life on my hands!

"Hih..."

A son who was frightened by an angry man.

That appearance seemed even more daunting to the man, who slashed his son with a sword he had been holding from the battlefield.

A doctor who was unreasonably slashed in front of me and had to watch me die.

Afterwards, the only thing on the doctor's mind after the war was to avenge the mercenary regiment. However, it was extremely difficult to find a mercenary regiment that had moved elsewhere after the war.

As such, I happen to find myself in the mercenary regiment when I hear that the Empire may go to war with the Kingdom and come to the Empire. They never went to the battlefield, and they lived in peace.

For doctors, revenge lived in idleness and so on was not recognized.

We were just peacefully running a medical clinic in town. However, we fell short of doctors in repeated wars, and we were supposed to help ourselves. My son was slaughtered and killed by mercenaries on my side when I was supposed to be treating him so hard for my country.

The moment I saw the mercenary regiment living in peace, I decided what vengeance I would take in the doctors.

"The poison I gave your children is something I specially formulated. I can't detoxify it most of the way, and I don't have antidotes available either. Your son will die after suffering for a few days."

Ex, mercenary even if it was.

Though a doctor, it was easy to catch a man who was just an ordinary person.

"Later, the two 'Phantom Mercenaries' men managed to find a doctor and save the lives of their two sons, worthy of running around the Empire City. But the drugs that saved the child's life cost a lot. The men promised they would always have it, so they treated their children even though they didn't have the money"

The men had a thousand-dollar stake.
