"How you doing, Walter?"
"It looks good, Commander Alphonse.I've been told by people who had money like a shallow shop, but they appreciate it in many places.After all, they came to rescue me immediately after that storm and said they'd split the rice that was soaring.Now anyone can become very popular just by wearing our red uniform. "
"Well, that's good. But speaking of which, I wonder what's going on in other countries."
"Well, it seems like it's pretty tough outside of Orient Country to hear from a mercenary acquaintance.Some of them mowed rice early because there might be a storm, but that's not how it works.It appears to have been damaged by that storm. "
Rescue operations in Orient country and subsequent rice recovery.
There is a lot of rice that has not yet been collected.
However, it was largely recovered from shoya, which undertook various farmers' guarantors.
In addition to me, I also received reports from Walter and others who went to each village to collect it.
Walter Squad and other Squads who were operating separately also succeeded in recovering rice, thereby generating significant profits.
The rice purchased in exchange for magic equipment turned out to be ten times as expensive to collect.
And by the way, that's because I'm lending Walter my eyes.
Whatever Kiku is educated about, mercenaries like Walter, who say most of their life experiences are on the battlefield, are not very good at negotiating with people who are familiar with business such as Shoya.
But it seems that the eye on it put the story together well.
I can't wrap my eye around the other person to say the right thing and get away with it.
Looks like you picked it up as promised.
And I will check with Walter who has completed such a job about things outside of the country of origin.
The villages Walter was traveling in are somewhere close to other countries.
According to the information from that source, it seems that other countries have suffered considerable damage.
There were quite a few people in Orient who thought that a storm might come because of the influence of the Balkan mercenaries and the Balkan church.
but not in other countries outside the influence of the Balkan Church.
Agricultural efficiency should have improved in other countries, such as [soil improvement], but there didn't seem to have been so many that rice was harvested quickly.
As a result, other countries were doing solid damage.
The yield that was expected to be abundant decreased unexpectedly.
"Does that mean you're aiming for something?"
"... I agree, Commander Alphonse. Other countries don't send out rescue teams to piss on you.Recovery of damaged cities and villages takes time and food is unavailable.I mean, you can't afford to fight. "
"I see. Want to go somewhere?"
"Let's go. We shouldn't be able to respond properly to an attack anywhere now. It's time to earn money."
"Alright, gather the mercenaries who can move.Barca Mercenaries, let's go. "
Damage to fields and fields caused by storms.
And the flood of the river.
Many countries are in a difficult situation because of their massive and widespread attacks on small groups of countries.
That means there are many countries that cannot move.
The fact that you can't move means you can't attack.
So Walter and I agreed.
Fortunately, we have rice.
Now, the mercenary regiment won't be in trouble for food if we attack the right country.
"But where are you going?You can't go too far, can you? "
"Hmm, that's right. Somehow it's already autumn.It would be better if you could go and fight quickly, and if there was somewhere nearby that feels good. "
"Is it a good place to be near?That said, there is no choice but to attack that village.Oh my God, there's not even decent food anywhere right now.In that case, I think it would be better to have something with golden eyes. "
"Golden eye thing, huh? That's right...No, let's change our mind a little.Let's go get something more usable than money. "
"Is it usable? What is it?"
It's a weapon, Walter. It may not be much money, but let's get the materials for the weapon.We will continue to fight the Balkan mercenaries. "
"Weapon? Are you attacking a weapon dealer in any city?"
"No, no, that's not it, that's the material of the weapon.Let's go to glugaria. The lumber mill there must have been in Nakashu on the river.This storm may have caused a lot of confusion.Raid there and steal the softwood lumber.That way, we can make bows for the mercenaries. "
"A bow? Perhaps.Commander Alphonse remembered the movement of the meteor and taught us how to handle the bow, but the mercenaries other than Commander don't have the softwood bow.Normal bows are quite powerful, and if you can get a bow made of softwood, it will boost your strength. "
"Well, that's because the softwood tree I got in Gloria belongs to the Orient Country.It's a good opportunity for us to get our share. "
I think that lumber mill is in a difficult situation because the river is flooding.
However, unlike rice, the soft magic tree did have roots in the water.
The Gru River has been rough until now, but I think that the existence of a lumber mill there for a long time means that it is quite resistant to water.
Does that mean that even after the storm, the soft magic tree itself can be obtained?
I want it.
With that, the mercenaries will get a strong bow.
Good is quick.
As a result of discussions with Walter, the Balkan mercenaries immediately gathered around 200 mercenaries to head down the still rough Glue River to the lumber mill.
