"Are you the leader of the mercenary regiment?
"Yes, but what?
"Yes, no. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect a child like you to be the head of a mercenary... Excuse me."
"That's fine. Instead, you know Sula, right?
"Yes, that's right. I have dealings with Sura through fabrics made from broccoli. My name is Viden. I'll see you later."
"This is Alphonse Barca. Greetings."
It took about eight days to move south from the variant.
You arrive at the town, where you meet a man named Baden, who is ruling the town.
An old man with a white beard.
The viden is confused to see my face.
Well, that's true.
It may be unbelievable to hear that a 6-year-old is acting as a group of mercenaries.
Perhaps if Sula hadn't introduced her, she would have been more miserable.
After all, I thought Sula was right to follow me.
Just be careful not to lick it.
Fly [Intimidation] at the required location and negotiate while putting pressure on the opponent.
Offer a place to stay today, prepare meals, and find out more.
It would be nice if we could take the shortest route to Orient Country, but if something seems to be wrong along the way, we also need to bypass it.
There was something interesting about gathering such information.
"Is there a bandit?
"Yes, actually. The town also trades in goods from people living at the foot of spiritual peaks like Sula and others, bringing them to even larger cities. In recent years, however, bandits have appeared along the way. I've been in trouble recently because of the damage."
"Um, were you talking about buying yarns and fabrics like broccoli? Did the bandits take them?
"Yes, and leather products. Leather made from the hides of animals living in the spiritual peaks is popular and is a good source of income for this town."
"I see. So there's someone who's going to steal it."
"Exactly. So I have a favor to ask you. If there were such bandits on the road, could they not be eliminated?
... bandits.
What does it look like?
When I hear only about Baden, I don't know the scale yet.
It is said that it has been active for a long time, and the bandit organization is probably not small.
But I didn't know where the bandits were or how strong they were.
Insufficient information.
"How much can I give you?
Huh?
"That's why I'm asking you how much you're going to pay me to get rid of the bandits. If you get rid of that bandit, you'll certainly get paid for it, won't you?
"Yeah, yeah. Of course, if you can get rid of the bandits, I promise you a reward for that. That's right. Given the scale of the damage, I think we can do this if we can confirm the bandit's crusade."
"... Sula, what do you think?
That's right. This amount would be reasonable. No, I don't think it would be a good idea for Lord Baden. This one looks like this and is surprisingly reluctant. I'm sure Alphonse's temper is on us. "
"No, no, you're here. You don't have to say such a thing, Sula. But this is also really the best amount you can afford. It's tougher than that...."
"I see. Now, let's take on that bandit extermination. You said you've been in harm's way lately. I'd like to see the victim at that time. Can you do that?
"Yes, thank you. I'll call you right away."
There is an overwhelming lack of information.
Still, I decided to get rid of the bandits here.
There are several reasons.
First of all, you make money.
Eliminate bandits to earn their rewards.
At the same time, if there is money that the bandits have hoarded, I will give it to you.
How much do you have?
You may be surprised, or not at all.
But more than that, the goal is to fight.
The Barca Mercenaries challenge the Bandit.
This is to gain practical experience.
I'm sure Elvis and Ian are as good as this mercenary regiment.
I don't think anyone else has fought properly.
Regardless of how Elvis was training, I wondered how it would be to go to Orient Country without any real combat experience.
I hear there's a lot of trouble surrounding the offensive.
I was worried that I would be able to take new mercenaries who had never fought before and fight properly.
That's why I have experience here.
Of course, that includes me.
I have fought the Magic Armor Opponent in the Magic Labyrinth, but I have never fought in real life.
I thought it might be good to have my first experience here.
Thus, the first task of the Balkan mercenary regiment was to exterminate the bandits at the request of the mayor of a small town, Baden, not Orient Country.
