― ― ― Diaz in the square of Ilk Village
Joe, Lorca, and some of Ryan's former comrades, along with Ryan's wife, Capella, were basically sleeping in the village of Irk.
Suddenly, I could not prepare a yurt for 34 people, and most of them lived in tents for travel, but I could use plenty of water and did not prepare meals. If the tent was broken, I could sleep in a meeting place, so there was no particular inconvenience.
That's how Joe and the others struggled to get used to life in the village of Irk while continuing to live in the tent, and Capella quickly joined the women's club and quickly became familiar with life in the village of Irk. She was also getting along with Arnar and the Maya grandmothers, and she stayed in the Maya grandmothers' yurt... At the same time, she got along with the Maya and took good care of the Maya.
Well, Joe and the others were there in the village of Irk, naturally at a distance where they could hear Mont's loud voice... 34 people, including Capella, came to us in a hurry.
My house name and sigil were painted with mud.
When I heard that story, I couldn't shut up... everyone was carrying swords and other weapons for their journey, and I was about to rush into the next realm.
Not only Joe and the others, including Francis and Ezelbald, came here with a huge expression on their faces. The Dogmen also came here. I can't believe that the Mayan grandmothers came with a cane and farming tools in one hand... I raise my voice to calm everyone down.
"I'll decide who goes to the next realm!"
We will need to leave some people behind to guard the village of Irk, and if the neighboring territories are in such a state, we will need to fortify the guarding of the customs post, and there will be work that cannot be done to take care of the fields, livestock, or rest, so we can't all go together!
... so, Arnault, and Senai and Aihan will stay in Irku and help us protect Irku!! "
While I was raising my voice, I brought bows and arrows and a quiver, and when I added those words to the three people who started making up for the battle, they turned to me with a huge expression saying, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Looking at those three reactions, Aima, who ran up my body and sat tightly on my shoulder, gave me a quiet voice with a soft expression trying to calm them down.
"This battle is sudden, so it will be difficult to prepare food and so on."
Especially in such a state, it would be difficult for the Neighboring Territories to buy it in the Neighbouring Territories... and then it would be important to prepare food for the people who are leaving here in Irk Village and continue sending it to the front.
Aruna-san, Senai-san, I want Aihan-san to work hard on hunting, and send fresh meat, salted meat, and dried meat underneath us... ”
Arnault's reluctantly convinced expression... and the people of Irku Village who had been standing up for it somehow recovered their composure.
The only thing that's still exciting is Monto... but I think we should leave him alone, so we can gather the delegates and proceed with the discussion.
Then the discussion progressed smoothly... and as a result, I went to the next realm as follows.
Me, Ayma, Mont.
Joe, Lorca, Ryan, and the rest of their platoon.
Three young men of Serhiy and Masti... and Goldia, Isa and Eli.
Ask Uncle Ben for the Irk Village, ask Klaus for the Sekiguchi, and have Sirhee's wives, Lee Seth, remain in the Irk Village as a watchman and liaison... The Dogs leave most of this for the security of the Irk Village and the Sekiguchi.
With luck and timing, Ellie, Seki, Saku, and Aoi, who were not in the neighboring territory but in the village of Irku, were asked to suspend the pedestrian until things settled down, and while helping Hubert with his work in the village of Irku, they were taught a variety of things... and the Narvants were asked to continue their blacksmithing work.
As for Goldia, she was a guest, so I wanted her to relax in Irku Village. However, when I checked the situation in the neighboring territory and gathered information on the enemy, I had something to do as a member of the guild, and she would accompany me in the form of a companion rather than a force.
As for the schedule, it was ready today and started gradually.
I stayed overnight at Sekiguchi and left Sekiguchi the next day.
Somewhere in the Neighboring Territories... if possible, gather information overnight in a village, town, etc.... to locate the enemy, establish a formation at the appropriate location, and start to act as a base to suppress the rebels who defraud Ma 'abadar of his name.
There was no problem because Geranto brought me a permit to enter the Neighboring Territories and one signed by Erdan to join the battle... There was a noisy wording in the permit that allowed some levying... well, I don't want to do that, even if it was necessary.
If you do that, you won't have any children, you'll be one of the rebels... It's a big deal if you get along badly with the Neighboring Territories or if Ellie's business goes wrong.
Fortunately, there are a lot of gold coins that Ellie and the others earned, so if you need supplies, I would like to use them to buy them.
There was no opposition to that policy, and when the details were decided, we were ready to go... and we were ready to gradually leave for the Sekiguchi.
― ― ― ― A merchant at a customs post in the forest
The magnificent merchant man who was able to safely enter the other side of the Sekigo with a carriage full of loads exhaled a huge sigh on the palace.
When I was in business as usual, suddenly the rebellion started, and the people who didn't know whether I was a rebel or a bandit targeted me for loading... I barely managed to escape, and I was able to rush into the customs post in the neighboring territory of Ma 'abadal...
There was also anxiety about whether a woodside merchant who did not have any permits like himself could pass through the customs post. The master of the customs post opened the gate with a smile... He accepted them under the condition of protecting them at the customs post until things settled down...
I was absolutely lucky. This is the luck of my misfortune. When the merchants think about it, the small-bodied dogs and humans bring themselves and their guards a cup of wood filled with water.
Furthermore, he even began to take care of the horses connected to the carriage... ah, it was really helpful to the calm sight, and when he exhaled a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart... there was a loud noise coming from the back of the forest and from the other side of the road leading to the back of the forest.
It was like somebody's footsteps, a giant or a giant monster.
The merchant had turned blue, but immediately the perception was wrong... and noticed that not one but several footsteps were ringing at the same time, making a loud noise, and looking across the road with his eyes wide open... First, a surprisingly flamboyant red mixed golden armor entered his sight.
Spanning a black horse, he carried a large battle axe and put an armored eagle on his shoulder.
When the merchants were unexpectedly overwhelmed by this figure, which cannot be expressed in words such as majestic, the Dogmen said, "Master Diaz!" The voice rises.
... oh, is that the hero of national salvation, or is that the figure of a hero?
The merchant murmured in his chest, followed by a man in a bun straddling a fine black horse...... a man with a beard straddling a rather good brown horse, and a young man and woman sitting on the platform of a wagon...... a group of infantrymen showed up.
The faces, though not very stylish, were not dressed to be infantry.
The cloak, clothes and boots sold everywhere are quite similar, and I don't wear any armor like armor.
It was hard to say that each of them had a weapon, but it was a fine thing... they were just travelers.
Still, the merchant recognized him as an infantry soldier because the way he walked... was surprisingly splendid.
Unexpectedly, the movement of the foot was unified enough to think that it was the footsteps of a giant or a giant monster. The spine stretched and everyone looked straight ahead, and no one was slapping it in vain.
It was impossible without years of training that the Knights of the Royal Capital would not be able to make such a splendid march.
Where such a group came to the merchant's side, the march stopped... and the hero's dazzling eyes that looked around at the head of the group stared at the merchant... and the master of the Sekiguchi rushed to explain the situation.
Heroes who were explained to them also turned their gaze toward the merchant and called out softly.
"Oh, that was a disaster."
... what was the cargo and where were you going to sell it? "
In response to that voice, the merchant said that he was going to sell food and daily necessities mainly at the market in the city of Melangarh, and the hero put his hand on the bag that was hanging in the saddle and took out a heavy leather bag from it... and lifted it, making a good sound that Jalali and the merchant were accustomed to hearing.
"After a terrible encounter, you can't sell a lot of products by evacuating to a place like this, so it's pathetic that you lost them... let me buy all the loads at the price you planned to sell them on the market."
We're going to need a lot of help from now on, and I'm glad you came to the right place. "
On top of that, the hero called out words he hadn't anticipated, and the merchant's eyes widened, and the guards stood shining as if they didn't need to be eaten.
"Ah, is that okay?"
As for me, I would be grateful if you could buy it... but if you don't discount all the cargo, the value will be stretched to the driftwood... "
In the words of a hero who can be said to be the heavenly salvation, the merchant quickly accepts the good things and speaks such troublesome things.
What are the guards saying in response to the attitude of the merchant? The hero nodded with a smile as he tried to push the leather bag that seemed to be packed with gold against the merchant.
As a result, the merchant refused to receive the leather bag for a while, and then moved to the loading platform in a hurry. He checked the condition of the product and calculated how many gold coins it would be appropriate to sell. He burned his soul as a merchant and did it with great speed.
