"... the village?

"That's not true. This is the land that I will give to Alphonse as a reward, but I have received a little from Congress.But I also promised Lord Alphonse that I would.The conditions that I desperately withdrew to keep that promise were not to give way to an abandoned village without residents. "

It's been a few days since I talked to Banaj about rewards.

Banaj drank my request for land.

That was supposed to happen.

But it looks like there's a sting on it.

Perhaps it was impossible to determine the rewards of the battle against the country of Gloria by the very existence of the banana.

So Banaj reported to Congress that I wanted land as a reward for the battle.

And as a result of the discussion in the council, the story seems to have been rejected.

In this urban state of Orient, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of people live side by side in walls.

There was an outer wall, and inside the outer wall there was an inner wall, and the wealthier people lived inside.

So the more you go outside, the cheaper the amount of land is.

Outside the exterior walls, it's like a place where the poor can live, so I thought it would be easy to get land ownership, but it seemed different.

Well, I don't have to think so.

Beyond the walls of an urban state, it would be quite dangerous for people from other countries to own and form land.

What if they break down the outer wall and break into the interior?

It's an extremely dangerous story.

Moreover, if it were connected to external forces, the Orient nation might soon be gone.

For national defense reasons, we cannot leave mercenaries outside the Wall, including Atmos warriors.

If they say so, they won't be able to say anything more.

Still, the banana sticks to me.

In that case, he insisted that the land in the outer wall should be cheap, so we should prepare land for the Balkan mercenary regiment.

But that didn't come true either.

Apparently, the story around here has something to do with banaj and congressional rush.

Develop a plan to secure the Soft Magic Tree and create a Ranged Attackable Weapon called the Magic Bow Orient from the Soft Magic Tree to protect the country.

It was Banaj who thought about it and did it.

And it's working so far.

That could have increased Banaj's voice in Congress.

But some people in Congress don't think it's funny.

Sula and Christina taught me that there is a power struggle in the hub, even though the country is in a state of exhaustion.

The momentum of the leading parliamentarians and their associates that existed before dropped, and talent that had not been prominent before appeared.

But it seems that there is one thing I'm trying to pull my leg without noticing.

Banaj is still a young member of parliament, but he has also gained momentum recently.

If that doesn't bother you, it seems that someone is interfering with Banaj's behavior.

"But what do you mean, abandoned villages?There was a village, but it was abandoned?

"That's not true.Originally, it wasn't a place where you could take a lot of things in a small village, but now there are places that have become abandoned villages.I was told I could give land to the Barca Mercenaries outside of this city, but it was the abandoned village that was designated. "

"Hmm, well, it's not like I'm obsessed with the city...Why is that village gone?If there is a land where people can live, I think there are people who want to rebuild it and live again. "

"That's not how it works.After all, crops do not grow on the land of the abandoned village. "

"Ah? You mean the land is dead?

"That's right.It's been years.The Orient was attacked from there.At that time, the village was occupied by the other party and became a temporary base for attacking Orient Country. "

Hee, that's what happened.

"It happened.After a fierce fight, we managed to get rid of them.But they didn't do what they had to do. "

"What should I do?

Sure. They ran away wrapping salt around the farmland.I'm afraid it's harassment.As you know, if the farmland is salted, the land will die.Because of the influence of that time, the crops are still unable to grow there, and it has become an abandoned village. "

I see.

Some of them did terrible things.

But this time, the abandoned village would have been convenient for Orient Country.

Give land to the mercenary regiment that will help you stay in this country.

But I won't let you live outside the walls.

Therefore, by giving abandoned villages where subsistence farmland is dead, we can interfere with mercenary groups through food and so on.

As a result of all the calculations, it seems that the land we can acquire has become such an abandoned village.

... well, that's fine, right?

No, maybe you'd rather have the land in a place other than the outer wall.

You don't have to be tough.

And if we're going to make things, farmland doesn't really matter.

Thus, we, the Balkan mercenaries, lived on the land of an abandoned village far from the city of Orient.
