”Anyway, I have to do what I can.”

"Please, Lord Banage."

In our conversation with the Banage, we discovered that the Orient nation is more likely to be targeted by its surroundings.

We will prepare for that.

But it seems that Banage will also continue to make diplomatic efforts.

Even if we get attacked from somewhere in the same way, it's totally different whether or not there's a country that can help us.

Well, I don't know when they're going to change their positions and attack us.

"I want you to take care of it, Lord Alphonse."As I said earlier, the situation is not the same as it used to be, but it is not limited to the Orient country.If you wear it, you may be able to create a situation that is unexpectedly difficult to attack. ”

Apparently, Banage had an idea.

Apart from the Orient countries, the group of small countries is completely different from the past.

It had something to do with the existence of magic.

Brother Arth named Banage, and Banage bestowed the magic on his acquaintance in the Orient.

Since then, naming has spread to major players in Orient, but naturally it has also continued to spread outside the country.

What happened as a result?

The magic brought to the East by the name had a great impact on different countries.

It's the rise of its own forces.

In the Orient, I built a new city called Barca by creating a Barca Mercenary Corps, which is not originally from this country.

But this is quite a rare case.

In other countries, those who acquired magic created their own forces in the form of seizing existing cities.

Those who have a lot of magic power, those who originally had power, or those who boast of power.

There will be many of them, but anyway, people who are good at following people will get magic and use it to create a powerful group.

And it's not uncommon for such groups to take over cities, towns, villages, etc.

Normally, the rulers there can't allow that.

However, there are a number of countries that have failed to eliminate such a new group of desolate people.

Perhaps the impact of [Wall Construction] and [Soil Improvement] was great.

Even in small towns and villages, if there are people who can use multiple magic, they will become like a fort in a relatively short time using Wall Construction .

And thanks to [soil improvement], it is easier to grow food than before.

I wish I could crush the strange group as soon as they take over, but the more time it takes, the worse the situation will be.

Because their forces will grow.

That is why, until now, the Kowloon Plain has been a region where small countries have become unstable, but more emerging forces are emerging.

But apart from that emerging force, it is not safe.

Only because the people who acquired the new power of magic have succeeded in getting the city and so on in the current, but there are not many people who are good at governance.

Most of the time, they just force the residents of the city to obey.

For this reason, Banage was of the opinion that there are many strict aspects of management as an organization.

"In other words, by trading magic tools, you mean that people who can't be said to be from that country will also be covered?"

“That's right, its own forces are basically financially difficult.If you can get an expensive object called a magic item, you should be happy to accept the deal. "

“I see. So if you can help them, they'll be holding the city back from its original ruler.In a situation where the stolen city in our own country is gaining strength, we will not be able to move against the magic tools of the Orient country.As a result, the Orient nation might be able to create a situation that is difficult to attack? ”

“No. Well, I don't know if that's going to work, but it should buy me some time.In the meantime, at the very least, I'm going to ask the Guardian to do his best so that we can defend it. "

"Alright, I appreciate the time you're giving me."At least, it's enough if you can't attack all the surrounding countries at once. "

If we have time, we can increase the number of Valkyries a bit.

That said, it might be tough enough to increase the number enough to make a cavalry like the Barca family.

However, it is true that only a certain number can help.

There were only about a dozen of them from the Sky Kingdom.

It's easier to carry people and things just by staying a little longer.

In this way, the trade with each faction for securing supplies and defending with magic tools was advanced by bannerage.
