Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill
End of Episode 156
We went out to drop Belzd under the orders of the clan.
It is Le Maire who leads the soldiers. He was to raise his position in this battle.
The enemy chose Cage Castle. The way to drop Belzd is determined by the siege. Le Maire laid a thorough siege net to keep one rat from passing through Belzd.
In a few days of siege, a messenger came from Belzd. He was a messenger of surrender. Now it's time to rest in peace, the enemy army must have realized.
Neither does the enemy seem willing to surrender unconditionally. It seems a condition of guaranteeing the safety of the ministers. It was only for my own safety, and it wasn't a condition for me to be with you until I was in a position. County Chief Canseth said his own safety had not been put under conditions.
I can't decide whether to drink the terms at Le Mail's discretion. I put out a letter to Clan once and asked him what he would do. The answer came that there was no problem with that condition. At that moment, it was officially decided to accept Belzd's surrender.
Le Maire sent a messenger to Belzd.
disarming the soldiers to surrender and handing over weapons and magic water. If there was a trap set in the castle, all shall be disarmed. The messenger communicated conditions such as
The enemy obeyed the terms with great care.
The disarmed soldiers' weapons were transported in large quantities. So much so that it seems that there will be no more.
There were multiple intruder repellent traps set up at Belzd Castle, which caused them to disarm all of them.
It could be hidden, so I made him look into it thoroughly.
When he was convinced that there were no more traps, he took the soldiers into the castle of Belzd.
Belzd Castle is also a castle city. The town is large. Though not as good as the clan's ruling Sempler. It was definitely bigger than Canale. Beltzd is one of the major cities of Meician, alongside Sempler and Mass, so it must be natural.
He entered the castle and restrained the nobles who were in the castle of Belzd. I wouldn't kill them, but I don't know if I'd put them in the same position as before. It is likely that much will depend on my appraisal results.
All the way through, I appraised the heavy ministers of Beltzd. Some were unexpectedly incapable, but many are generally good. Except no one flew away.
And I've never seen County Chief Canseth before here either.
My hair is black. The face is engraved with more carvings. I always felt like a mediocre middle-aged man, but I had unusual eyesight.
The status was mediocre than I thought. The average is about mid-sixty. Political power was about 80 high. Better than a normal human being, excellent status, but since he's a county governor in a big city called Beltzd, he assumed he had a slightly higher status. The ministers have a lot to admire, so I guess there is humanity.
Le Maire reported to Clan that he had fully secured the safety of the castle of Belzd. The clan seems to be coming to Belzd. I sent the soldiers I used for the siege to escort the clan. Protected by its soldiers, Klan arrived in Belzd.
"It's Cances. This time, the decision to surrender was a wise one. But you can't refuse my invitation and take Basamark's side and not punish anyone who chooses to fight me."
The clan said in a harsh tone.
Cances' ministers simultaneously bow their heads to the clan to see if they feel the disturbing air or if they want Cances to help them.
"I didn't say I'd kill anything. I will naturally be asked to step down from the position of Belzd County Governor. And have them stay in jail until I have Measian in my hands with a settlement in the battle against Bassamark. Afterwards, it would be okay to give a new territory depending on the attitude"
Not killing might be a relatively generous measure. If you kill Cances here, you'll be right here because you're going to buy a useless grudge.
Many of the heavy ministers wanted to be locked up in jail with Cances. There were a few, but some, who had served the clan and sworn allegiance.
The Battle of Belzd thus came to a complete end and began post-war processing.
