Frontier Lord Starts Out With a Population of 0
Postwar Negotiations
Looking around...... exhales deeply when apparently he has been able to take warfare and weapons from all enemy soldiers.
Stick the battle axe to the ground and let go of your hand... slowly pull out the force you were putting into your whole body.
That's how I feel... a little uncomfortable.
I must have been pretty rough and pretty badly tortured my body... but I don't really feel tired about what it is.
On the contrary, it seems rather full of vitality... and the Klaus and Murphs around it seem to be doing better than usual.
What the hell...? And, tilting his neck, and then, no, not now, he shakes off his thoughts, widens his vision, and looks around the whole battlefield.
Looks like none of the left-wing mercenaries left to retreat. The right-wing Eldan army is alive... but not at all, and not a single step yet. And the central army is in a good situation when it comes to total annihilation... yeah, the battle seems to have come down the curtain with the result of our victory.
You ran away during the fight, or at some point Deane had disappeared... considering that you missed beating Deane and scolding her, you couldn't let go and rejoice... If you think that everyone had successfully completed the fight without causing significant injury, you could say it was not a bad result.
When it comes to the damage that seems to have been done in this battle... my armor has been attacked several times by enemies, causing snags and scratches everywhere, and it's worn out enough to tell from a distance... well, it would be cheap if it had been done to this extent.
If you think of the original poor quality and the scattered and terrible use you made in the war ahead, I think you're more of a good one to have ever had.
It is something I have been using for many years, and I hope I can fix it somehow...... If this is all worn out, I might as well buy something new and build something new.
When I was attacked several times by the armor, I was wondering if Emma, who was diving into my nose, was safe... while I was fighting, Emma was so clever, she moved over my belly, back, neck, head, and escaped so well that there was no slight disturbance in her hairline rather than injuries... she was full of energy.
How energetic Emma is, she's so energetic that she started ragging my head off with a loud voice over my head.
Aima seems to be doing quite a bit of relief to keep me from getting hurt... but those teeth are still very sharp and quite painful.
"Nearly!
If you don't want to kill your opponent, don't want to kill him, you should have controlled him after taking advantage of the pitfalls as per the operation. Yikes! What makes you punch each other from the front again -!
How sad do you think Senay and Aihan would be if something happened to Mr. Diaz -!!
As Klaus and the others bring together the enemy soldiers they defeated to surround themselves and begin watching them with a harsh gaze, Emma, who keeps clutching my head, raises such a voice.
I was angry that I was so caught up in the fight that I made you feel scared and wondered if you were squinting at my head... apparently not.
Geez, geez, geez, geez, my hair, biting my head, and Emma goes on with the words.
"And you say it!
If the commander, Mr. Diaz, goes into battlefield and becomes obsessed with battle, who the hell will take command of the entire army!
It does seem to be quite strong as an individual, and it seems that we were able to interact with each other once and for all, but that's not all we can do about command!
You used to survive the war that way!?
"Uh... I was doing something like a wrap-up for all my buddies during the war, but I don't know who's in command...
He called himself the best soldier in the kingdom, and he was in charge of all the details... "
Before he fights, if the battle starts, me and Klaus will stick in a straight line, and while we do so, he will read the battlefield flow and give instructions to the other troops to stab Todome in the enemy army that we have collapsed.
We leave everything in his command to him, just focus on defeating the enemy in front of him... he directs the nasty enemy to us and leaves it to us.
That's how I... That's why we were fighting in that war.
- And when I explain to you that, Aima comes around the top of my head with some strong force.
"I had such fine company! You knew the importance of the operation and the commander! How could you do such a stupid thing! Ya!!
Me, I remember what I read in Kossoli at Mr. Eldan's house, so start studying military law with me tomorrow!
And make sure you give priority to getting back to everyone safely, rather than beating down your opponent than winning a fight!
Because you are all lords, all village chiefs, Mr. Arner's husband, and you are an important family of Senay and Ihan!!
"Uh... if you remember the law of war, then what about Eima taking command?
I'm sure it's better than studying weirdly. "
"To me, the newcomer! Command the army! Don't try to give it to me that easy! You idiot!!
While I was at it, I thought it was a good idea... but for some reason, Emma didn't seem to like it, so I'm going to bite harder.
With his face on his aching head that way...... as he is bitten by Emma as he is... Eldan across a golden-haired horse that shines like a billord comes this way with his squire and escorts, including Camarotts, and some luggage trucks.
"Lord Diaz, Lord Diaz!
I'm here to negotiate surrender and the liberation of prisoners!
What an elegant foothold to walk a horse, shaking Yusa Yusa and her belly, Eldan says so with a full smile.
I stared at Eldan like that and I... what the hell is Eldan talking about? And he leaned his neck as he turned his head.
Coming this way with a full smile, Eldan lowered his horse with Camarotz's hand,
"I'll have a negotiating seat ready soon, so I just need a moment!
With a word with...... inspired by that word, the setting up of what a handy seat at the hands of the squire begins.
Two white wood chairs on a white wood table, a finely embroidered silk tablecloth, a ceramic vase coloured with gold and silver and seasonal flowers… That what a luxurious seat I saw earlier in the Eldan formation is quickly put in place, completely unworthy of a post-war negotiating place.
That's how I get my seat, and Eldan urged me to get to my seat, I take my seat with Ayma, who doesn't try to move from overhead because she's going to be my assistant.
...... Eldan is an Eldan and he's making me refrain from Camarotz on his side, so there won't be a problem with Emma being present.
"So... whatever the prisoner liberation is, what the hell are you talking about surrendering?
Take a seat, correct your residence and then when I cut out that story...... Eldan creates a crisp, riddled face out of Nico's full smile and returns the words.
"This time, we led the army into Lord Diaz's territory without authorization.
This is an act of transboundary aggression under the laws of the Kingdom.
We must surrender and reconcile to Lord Diaz as soon as possible now that Deane is gone and the credibility of the King's life has been shaken by my cause and reason!
What a good look, good voice, Eldan to say that.
... acts of aggression and nothing, I wonder what Eldan is talking about this time he moved his army to help us.
Pretend to follow Deane and move the army... help us if you need anything.
It is obvious that Eldan would have participated in this battle with that intent, and I don't think it is necessary to surrender or reconcile...
I'm not the one who told Deane to take sides in the first place, and I don't feel wrong to break in without permission...
... and when I think of it as that, the overhead Emma calls out.
"Mr. Diaz, Mr. Diaz.
Probably, but Mr. Eldan surrendered to Mr. Diaz and settled, or I think he wants a name.
I don't know what that's for, but I guess we're not even talking about Mr. Diaz losing money for accepting surrender and settling with Mr. Eldan, and why not here?
When I take that Aima word for it and look at Eldan again, Eldan tells me with that look that Aima is right... the more I snort, then raise my voice.
"If that's the case, let's accept surrender and try to reconcile.
Take me with you because I'll release you immediately about the prisoners, too.
I don't know what good it would do to do this... but this time it's been especially well taken care of, and I don't mind Eldan and the others being good "
When I say that, Eldan and Camarotz come smiling and Eldan, who coughed up with Cohon after a little while, opens his mouth.
"Thank you for your acceptance and Lord Diaz's generous measures!
As a general rule, Lord Ayma is right.
From now on, I plan to go to the King's Capital. I will go to the King's Capital and meet His Majesty... and that could be the negotiating material for that. "
"... negotiating with the king is another amazing thing to do...
Is reconciliation with me really going to be a bargaining ground?
"I still don't know if it will actually be a negotiating material.
It may or may not be the story.
However, depending on the flow of the conversation, it could be a good note, and if that's possible, I'd like to increase the number of notes... so I set up this seat. "
Eldan's explanation, which began... says that the king is responsible for this case as well as Deane.
My daughter stole the king's seal, which was administered by the king and should never be let go, and as a result, something happened: the forgery of the king's life.
The fact that they stole the king's seal is also a problem, but the failure to stop the subsequent runoff of Deane is also a problem, because of which I was to be attacked by Deane and the others, and Eldan, who was forced by a false royal fate to send unwanted troops, can be said to be the victim of the king's demise... it seems that Eldan is a stomach full use of his position as a victim in his next trip to King's Capital.
He sees and negotiates with the king as a pathetic victim wielded by the king, and he says he intends to compensate the king for the damage done to him in this case, and he is preparing various bills that he may be able to use in doing so.
King, isn't it disrespectful or something to do that to your opponent, is there a problem? And I think it's okay because I'm going to negotiate well while I see the King's mood and reaction around there... what is it?
"I'm not sure it's a difficult story... well, if that's what Eldan says, you can put it out in my name or whatever and like it.
If there's anything else I can do to help, please don't hesitate to tell me. "
After Eldan's explanation... I managed to swallow the content of the explanation. When I return that word, Eldan makes me smile so bright.
"I'm glad you said that!
But for now, it would be enough if you could accept the surrender, sign the settlement papers, hand over the prisoners, and accept the reparations. "
"... yeah?
Compensation...? Is this about this?
A word pops out of Eldan's mouth that I can't get away with, and I accidentally return that word.
Then Eldan laughs just because he expected that reaction...... he receives an inventory of something from Camarotts and hands it over to us.
"I must compensate Lord Diaz in accordance with the laws of the kingdom more than I have crossed the border and invaded.
Even so, I originally prepared it with the intention of giving it to Lord Diaz... the focus is on thank-you items for taking on the Dog Clan and additional food, so there is no such thing as a big deal.
I thought Lord Diaz would not receive the money if I had the money for the crossing and the invasion, so I made it a priority to take the form of compensation. "
And when Eldan tells me to drop my gaze on the inventory... most of the inventory is for food indeed... oh, does this cotton cloth or silk or something like that mean a thank you gift?
Eldan says it's no big deal, but I do remember that silk was quite a luxury item, but it seems like a lot of it... ugh.
"I'm not just going to ask His Majesty to compensate me for the money I spent on trooping out, so I really don't need to hesitate.
... I want you to know that Lord Diaz is going to be able to do a lot of good with this case without killing anyone, and if there is anything else I want, I will prepare it. "
That's what Eldan calls me when I was roaring as I thought about it, keeping my gaze off the inventory.
How disturbing, anxious to have the king compensate you, or prepare you if you want something, every part of Eldan's words... was at the time I tried to put that thought into words.
Eldan noticed something, started looking away, and then he started mozzling with Mozomozo to see what Emma was doing overhead... then a little late and me and Camarotts felt signs that something was coming up too, what the hell was going on? and shift your gaze to that one.
Then, I guess I unlocked the cover-up magic, making it look as if Arner would rewrap the color he was losing from those who showed signs.
Why the hell is Arner here? What's that bag you're holding in that arm?
And, when I'm confused, Arner says,
"Diaz, you seem to have done a great job safely, you don't seem to be hurt either... you're a perfectly good man.
I mixed some of the exciting herbs I had previously given away from the chief for breakfast... apparently it was worth it "
What a terrible thing to say.
... Are you allergic to exciting herbs? I used to go to the mall to talk about herb cultivation... is that what you call child making? Is it sole fault that your body is strangely full of vitality right now?
As Arner silenced himself without knowing how I could return the good things to the outrageous words that jumped out of Arner's mouth, Arner smiled at how he had received my silence... lifting the bag in his arms a step higher and continuing the words as he tried to show them to me.
"Oh, yeah.
When I was chasing Deane around, I met a guy named Richard who said he was using Diaz's upbringing.
They say Deane's figure will be kept for his use, and that Richard will do something about it if he disposes.
Some of this money was saved from its use, and Richard prepared everything for Diaz.
You're a very friendly nurturer. "
And Arner, who speaks of a terrible thing.
I told Arner to protect the village, and I'm amazed at what the hell he's doing, and I'm confused that Richard doesn't remember a child by any name... not just me, but Eldan and Camarotz start to look terrific at what Arner said.
Then I tried to ask Arner about the details of why he was here, what the hell he was doing, who the hell Richard was using... and in doing so, the sun starts to tilt when it was evening.
Neither I, nor Eldan, who leads nearly a thousand troops waiting to return in the village, will always be able to do this here, and Eldan still had a few things he wanted to ask me... because they weren't even in such a hurry to talk about it... this is where we are today.
There was a worrying part of me wanting to talk a little more about how I would still be anxious to go to the King's Capital in Eldan... well, it would be strange for Eldan to have my mouth pinched by what Eldans decided to do.
There are a lot of people on Eldan's side, starting with Camarotts... and I'm sure they'll be fine... yeah.
So we left our seats… and handed over the captives to the Eldans, and received a loaded load of goods in the name of compensation in exchange.
We all pulled off that luggage that was loaded like a mountain... and joined Bayers with the chef who had left it waiting in the rear... with strange vitality, and Senai was on his way back to the village of Ill, where everyone in the village was waiting.
