Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Lesson 724 To Surrender....

I turn my attention to the cadres. They do not try to turn their gaze to one another. When my gaze was about to meet, my eyes fell down suddenly. There were two of them whose gazes met. Therma and Holm.

Therma has a look of embarrassment, and it can be seen that there is an emotion of what she intends to do. Holm stays away from his staff, but he stares at me. From that eye, it seems that whatever begins, your chest is inflating with anticipation.

I turn my gaze back to Therma and move my chin a little. So he came towards us with a look of no choice.

He sat in a chair that was lined up. Right in front of me. It was originally the seat where he sat.

As he urged, the other cadres headed to their former seats in bewilderment. The Commander-in-Chief is still standing by. I feel a bitter hatred being directed at me, but I'm going to leave it alone.

Now, what did the Commander-in-Chief just say? Are you all in favor of that?

The cadres have an indescribable expression on their faces. Suddenly, Holm's nose swelled as he stretched out his neck.

"What? Do you have an opinion?"

Speaking to Holm, he looked around at Atafuta with a surprised expression on his face. It seemed surprising that I could speak to him.

“Fine, don't hesitate to say it.”

"Um...... I......"

“There's a long way to go, so come here.”

When I told Therma to set up a chair, he muttered something to the cadre next to him. Then, the cadre member stood up and hurried back to get the chair. I order Therma to have a chair, and I'm telling my men to go get it, and Therma is a pretty good person.

The man placed his chair right in front of me. No, this would be a way of attracting the messengers. I don't know about Holm's rank in the Sefand Imperial Army, but when I see him sitting far from his staff, I don't think the rank itself is high. Well, maybe it's the Commander-in-Chief that's keeping us away. That's the kind of seat he's got right in front of me. I can't bear to see a man of high ability being treated like this.

I stood up, held a chair in front of me, and placed it right next to the chair I was sitting on. In other words, it takes the form of welcoming the form at a position opposite to the therma. However, as it stood, Holm stood behind me, so I shifted the chair I was sitting in slightly behind me.

"Come here, please."

Holm sat in a chair that looked uncomfortable with his eyes black and white. Encourage him to give his opinion.

Do you agree with what the Commander-in-Chief says?

"Ugh... I disagree."

“I see, what do you think I should do?”

"I think we should leave it like this."

Huh, you want to leave me alone?

"Yes, I think it's good to see that the enemy is already disintegrating at the stage of surrender." Spend more time like this and you'll have more surrenders. If that happens, the enemy will fall even if they leave it alone. ”

"I see. So, what do you think, Therma?"

In my words, Therma turned her attention to Hirari and her father, the Commander-in-Chief, but eventually opened her mouth as if she had given up.

"I agree with Lord Holm."

“Really? Do you agree?”

In my words, the cadres keep their eyes shut. Those who can give their opinion in this situation are either daring or idiots who can't read the air. I dared to create a scene where such opinions are difficult to express, but I shouldn't have done such a thing. Nevertheless, I don't think it's a good man to be doing this.

I can see that the Commander-in-Chief is slowly approaching us. He's going to kill me. They're going to kill me, they're going to kill Siddi, they're going to kill the prisoners, and they're going to kill all the people who stood at Castle Casa. Such a strong murderous intent has been directed at him.

He put his hand on the handle of the sword. But it solidified as it was. I built the barrier.

The flushing face was flushing. Azure streaks appear on the temple. I'm trying desperately to move my body by eating my teeth, but I can't.

"I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay here." If you take command, many lives will be lost. Think about it. If you chop off thirty prisoners' heads, the enemy will not surrender, but fight back with death and madness. Not to mention those who suffer from dryness. They will seek water and attack without fear of death. If that happens, the Secfund forces won't be free, and Nono and Elsmo won't be silent either. There will always be a retaliatory attack. If that happens, this battle will become muddy. The Empire will be throwing itself into battle for years to come. Besides, the notoriety of killing a prisoner will spread throughout the world. If that happens, this country will be isolated, but is that okay? "

The Commander-in-Chief's sniff is getting rough. Her face also turned pale after passing the red one. Keep saying more to him like that.

"Basically, emperors, some commanders and nobles want to fight." The cadres and soldiers here don't want to fight. The same goes for the enemy. Who would like to kill someone? If you want to kill people, do the same with them. Don't involve people. "

As I looked around, I opened my mouth in a slightly louder voice, as if to declare.

"In Agarta's view, the operation just carried out by the Commander-in-Chief cannot be said to have earned the equivalent, but rather, it is a bad idea." I would like to propose a plan that requires the enemy to surrender based on their feelings, not suppression by fear or intimidation. "

All the staff nod to my words.

"I propose, then, that we set up a messenger at Castle Casa and make a surrender order against the enemy." The condition is that both sides retreat quickly. If it's acceptable, we can make a way to retreat. ”

In awe.

It was Therma who opened her mouth. He continues to speak as he glances at his father.

“As far as we're concerned, we can't leave both Noono Elsmo's armies unharmed. Our country has been invaded. If you don't pay a fair price, you won't be satisfied with us, and above all, your Majesty won't be satisfied with us."

"I see. Then, if the enemy surrenders, we should impose a little forced labor." Is that all right? "

"Forced labor?"

"Yes, let's dig a hole." A big, big hole. "

"Is it a hole..."

"Yes, I'll have a big hole dug in front of Castle Casa." Ultimately, we have to break down the upstream wall. Then, the water that had been flowing for that purpose flows down the river all at once. In that case, I think we can adjust the amount of water if we build a large hole in front of the castle. Besides, if you do that, your castle's defenses will be even stronger, so isn't it a stone's throw? ”

In my words, Thelma slowly lowered her head.

Well then, I'll stand up for the Surrender Messenger!

Holm rose energetically. I nodded heavily.
