"Oh, I... am I alive...?"
The battle against the Glugalia army is over.
The Orient Army is victorious.
The last person to be defeated was definitely the general commander of the Glugalia army, and the collapse completely halted the movement of the Glugalia army.
Well, the poison attack left many Glugalia incapable of fighting, so it was almost our victory before that.
Having won such a complete victory, we then pursued the remaining Glugalia soldiers and took prisoners.
I was actually going to destroy the opponent, but even though there was a difference in the number of people, it was not realistic to defeat all of them, and the opponent raised a white flag.
There is international law in the East, and it is forbidden to attack an opponent who raised a white flag.
Anyway, I and the people from the variants, people from the Orient country originally wore such common sense in accordance with international law as a matter of course, so I saw the white flag of the opponent and stopped the attack.
Not at the same time, but I had the prisoner.
That's the old man.
Have you noticed?
"Are you... Alphonse Barca?"
"That's right. What's your name?"
"Don't you know me?You don't study. Speaking of Glugalia's best archers, I guess there's no one else but Hale Medium. "
"Mr. Hale. I've fought a meteor before and won, but what's his relationship to him?"
"... you didn't even know that."Meteors are the mystery of my family.You're the only one who defeated my son. "
What? Is Meteor a technique that can be passed on to the offspring?Is there a way to teach magic? "
"...... In Glugaria, each house has a bow technique that has been polished from generation to generation.I will train it so that my child can learn it from an early age.You really don't know anything, do you? "
An old man named Hale who is the father of the meteor.
Apparently, the younger Archer he fought before was his own, and he seemed to be his real parent.
And I was able to hear about the tradition in Glugalia.
Apparently, there is no naming or inheritance ritual, so it seems that the magic created by the clan has been conveyed as a secret for generations.
I wonder if that's the case with curved shots and arrows of fire.
I was wondering if they were working hard and creatively, but it seemed like the technology they had acquired through oral communication from their ancestors.
"More than that, I'd like to ask you."Why, I'm alive.I was definitely slaughtered by you..... "
"Oh, that's right. It's easy.You didn't die from my attack.My sword is special.Even the person who inflicted the fatal injury can consolidate the blood and block the wound in an instant. "
"... I mean, you let me live."Are you going to use it as a prisoner of war? "
"That's right. We're going to trade with Hale's captivity and the surviving Glugalia soldiers."I've decided it's worth it, but it's not wrong, is it? ”
"Oh, my own country will accept the deal."But is that okay? It looked like you were trying to crush us thoroughly without taking any prisoners.There were others who could trade, but they were invisible.So the others are already scattered on the battlefield? "
Hale takes my word for it.
If you're going to take a prisoner of war and negotiate with the Glugalia from the start, the more people you can negotiate with, the better.
And it's no wonder you're wondering why you're the only one alive talking to me now.
Well, that was entirely my fault.
You didn't kill Hale because you didn't have to.
I already had the magic called [Meteor].
That said, even if I defeated Hale, I wouldn't be able to get new power.
Then I just thought I'd use it more effectively.
But not the others.
I sucked the blood out of both the curved shot and the flaming arrows, as well as the blood of other archers was meaningful to me.
That's all.
Well, I don't have to tell Hale about it.
"There was also a point in showing off our power."So, what do we do? If you're quiet enough to be a bargaining material, will you save your life? ”
"Very well, my son is an enemy, but we lost because we were weak."But be careful.When I return to my country, I will once again accumulate strength and challenge you.I'll wash my neck and wait for you. "
Hale said that to me, who now holds the right to kill.
I think it's serious.
Maybe this happens a lot.
Return the prisoner of war to the country where he was.
At that time, international law had the right to demand the return of the prisoners.
The magical bloodline created through generations of marriages is precious.
If the state is also asked for a large amount of money to return, it will most likely pay.
Because it's worth it.
So Hale seems to take it for granted that the state will buy him back.
And maybe it will.
And since Hale, such a high-priced product, is naturally an important prisoner, we must respond appropriately to him as a prisoner of war.
In other words, more than being a prisoner of war, it's like being safe.
Therefore, I think that even if I let out a big word here, there is no need to worry about taking my life, and I will tell you something very powerful.
For now, let's leave Hale to the banage.
I'm more used to banage when negotiating with other countries.
Also, let's talk about returning prisoners and have them negotiate a ceasefire.
In any case, I don't think Glugalia can do anything after losing 5,000 soldiers, but let's just keep it in shape.
Then we'll head northeast.
The Orient forces that had fought to deal with the forces that would come next from Peria began to move quickly.
