I do the prisoner appraisal.

The number of prisoners is about fifty.

I was somewhat tired of my eyes but managed to finish them all off.

As a result, no one was as capable as Leeds or Charlotte, but there were five very good people.

Three of them are unwilling to pledge allegiance to the clan.

These three men remained tied up and transferred to Clampress Castle, where there was a robust stronghold.

Those who pledge allegiance seem to be incorporated as one of the guards of Fort Wakumacro as it is.

There are twenty who do not swear allegiance and, on top of that, are not very good at their abilities either.

At first, it was an attitude in which thirty people did not pledge allegiance, but persuasion allowed them to change their minds. The other twenty persisted so strongly in their anti-clan attitude that they could not be persuaded, that they decided to be executed.

Twenty people can line up with their heads on the table.

Then the executioner with the axe also holds an axe near twenty prisoners.

If I don't see this execution, don't look. I have nothing to blame, but I've decided to see it.

For he could not distract himself from the death of the dying because he had not sorted.

I saw the execution before, but that was one time. It was also the sinners who were executed.

You can say that this time you will execute honest people who swear allegiance to their allies.

Honestly, it was painful.

"Do it."

On the signal of the clan, the executioner waved an axe down the captives' necks.

His neck fell, blood splashed all around him and dyed the ground red.

I kept looking away from the sight.

I didn't nauseate this time. Sometimes I get used to it.

I just felt sorry for the prisoners as they died.

Some young people were still under the age of twenty.

I would have been ready to go to war and die, but still, I thought they might still have a future, and the sadness crept out of my chest.

At least I gave them a prayer that they would be reincarnated just like me and given a second life.

After cleaning up the body, the clan gathered key figures.

Sounds like a quick military council.

"Now that we've dropped Fort Wakumacro, we'll drop Castle Samuk with this momentum next. As long as Samuk Castle is dropped, Samuk County is under control."

"Can I have that little one?

I raise my hand.

"Allegations"

"The next castle, do you want to use the power of the undercover mercenaries I know? If done beforehand, you may be able to drop the castle easily. We still need to fight all the way to Belzd, so I think we should keep our soldiers and resources warm and drop Castle Samuk."

"Hmm. What do you know about the scout mercenaries who used to steal letters from Perena County? I'm sure it's amazing, and it's not a bad operation."

"Yes, but the asking fee has been quite high and you may need two hundred gold coins. I can't pay for it, so I was wondering if you could accommodate the clan..."

"I don't have a problem getting it out that much. They have a proven track record, and I trust the eyes of the Lord. I expect it to be effective."

You're going to be able to pay me gold.

Now you can use Shadow's help.

I haven't heard anything about Samuk Castle yet, but it's probably harder to drop than Fort Wakumacro.

"I'd like to hear from my own mouth what kind of work I'm going to do, so I'd like to call you to a military conference. Can you do that?

"Uh, you don't seem to want them to know who you are as much as possible, and it can be difficult to call you into a military forum"

"Hmm... well, naturally as a secret detective... then I left the negotiation to the Lord. As far as I'm concerned, opening the gates of Samuk Castle and then disarming the magic traps in the castle, destroying the reservoirs that are collecting magic water, etc. would be considerably easier to drop."

"Can I destroy the Magic Water Reservoir? If you drop the castle, you can use it as part of our army."

"We have plenty of supplies, so there's no problem. It is more important to reduce the difficulty of dropping."

"Okay. Then I'll negotiate."

"That's it for the military. All you have to do is ask for information on how soon the mercenary scouts will complete the work, and then decide when to go out."

The military council is over and dissolved.

Then I started negotiating with Fam about the request.
