Well, if you look at the total volume of transactions between the two countries, it doesn't seem to be increasing or decreasing.

Is that the only thing that ate the discount was Kalanigan?

"No, even Kalanigan seems to be a very small group of merchants who were obsessed with doing business with Theodoro." That town was originally a big relay town for Sagan and Ills. "

Is it true that only a part of the poor have been pulled out?

"That doesn't always seem to be the case. The cost of the crusade during this time was borne by other merchants as well."

"Are you all friendly poor?" But as a town of Kalanigan, it doesn't have to fall, does it? "

"Ah, that's why I can't be sure what the aim is of the 'Shaker'." Whether it was really aimed at the town of Kalanigan. "

― ― Crowe's aim was not to kill Kalanigan, but rather to harass Theodorum. But why didn't they come to that conclusion?

"I don't know... then I wonder if Theodorum is the target..."

"Ah, the streets connecting Sagan to Waltram are bustling with activity. Because of this, Theodorum's trading volume itself has not decreased."

That's why the two of them were leaning their necks. Incidentally, this reaction is not limited to two people, but may be a general reaction of the public.

"If I were to mention something... wouldn't it be just a road surface maintenance?"

"What's that?"

"Oh, no. I heard that the Kalanigan merchants pulled out of the streets, and the maintenance of the mountain diameter would be negligible." Well, there's nothing wrong with one or two travelers walking over it. "

"Operation as a route for resupply and march..." But wasn't that road narrow? "

"Ah, it's not a path that can get through a big army." If you're planning an ambush with a small group, there's no problem even if it's a little rough. "

"If that's the case..."

“In the end, we're going to get to where Sagan is.”

It was the first time that the town of Sagan was in full swing, but there was something unexplained about simply switching travellers using the Kalanigan route. Obviously, a lot of people came to visit the abandoned village of Aban - to be exact, the drops there.

"I wonder, because the route of the Kalanigan has collapsed, it seems that there are many people who come to try their luck quickly because of the pretext of repaying the little words of the mouth troublesome Umi-san"

Although some were attracted to trying their luck in the abandoned village of Avan, it seems that the Hojo clan, who had not been allowed to go as far as Hirohirohiro Bakuchi, has gone to try their luck quickly under the cause name that the route of Kalanigan can no longer be used.

Well, it's a rumor.

”Again... don't ask me strange stories as usual”

"Take measures." How about you say that? "

"Ah, I've been talking to the guards for a while... hey, there's a story about Theodorum holding a subtle frustration with Sagan's life."

"Huh?... what did that mean again?"

If you look at the map, it is clear, but the town of Sagan occupies a position close to Morvania. In other words, the city of Sagan is booming, which means that there will be more merchants visiting Morvania. For Theodorum, who has Morvania as a virtual enemy, it is a subtly harsh situation.

What's more complicated is that Waltram's forces, which were prepared to face the town of Sagan, were extracted for other missions and continued to pay off. The task is to monitor Shrek and Volka.

Needless to say, a noisy dungeon called "The Poison Pit" has appeared in Surek, and the village there is now under the control of the dungeon, as understood by the upper reaches of the Theodorum Kingdom. Under the name of monitoring the dungeon in surplus, Morvania was called upon to station its troops near the border. Even as momentum theodolites, preparation for them will be necessary.

That's why we've extracted troops from Waltram and Nikolam, but we've added a new mission here to watch over Volka.

The site of the Torenheimer Castle in Volca has long been known as a nest of resentment, but it was only recently that Theodorum became vigilant here. To put it plainly, it was only after the activity of the dungeon was activated. If you look at the current situation in which Poko Poko and the dungeon are gushing out like surrounding Theodorum, it is not unintelligible to be vigilant in anticipation of where a new dungeon may occur. It was just a bad thing that Folka was located in a suburb a little farther northeast from Waltram, and for that reason it was possible to extract more of Waltram's forces.

As a result, Sagan's surveillance duties, which were flourishing in and out of the country, were unavoidable, and it was up to the upper levels of the Theodorum to become bitter faces.
