“It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Bing and I rule the city of Melbee.”
Parliament in the Orient country.
A man from a town called Melbie spoke up in a room in the Capitol where the agenda was always discussed.
It was me, Eye, Hannah, and Rosa who heard it.
In front of several other people, there is a person who calls himself Bing while showing a little nervousness.
Of course, there's a reason why I'm meeting people except for the banage that hasn't come back yet.
“My fellow Melbie residents are already aware of this incident because of what I convinced them to do. We hereby pledge to convert and live according to the teachings of the Church of Barca.”
"Understood, Lord Bing." That's great, isn't it? Join us and live with Vulcanism from now on. ”
"Yes, thank you, Hannah."
Bing of the city of Melbie converted.
Until then, he seemed to have an indigenous religion or belief that he had not heard of.
He renounced his faith and was reformed by the teachings of the Vulcan religion.
I came all the way to the Orient and told them.
Well, of course, there was a reason for that conversion.
That's because the Barca Mercenaries are active these days.
The Geese Squadron sent to Glugalia were very active.
With 500 people, it wasn't a lot of nonsense, but they fought all over the place and got results.
However, it was mainly when the region's own forces were crushed, and when the Glugalia army fought as the main force, it was always active at one end of the battlefield.
If that's all, there are a few other places other mercenaries can do the same.
Somehow, the mercenary group created by the three sons of the famous family and those who do not succeed to the supervisors of the family below, will have enough strength.
But the Barca Mercenaries didn't stop there.
Crush a number of your own factions, quickly sell off the supplies you've earned, convert them into money, and then use that money to get weapons, food, and fight harder.
In other words, it was very profitable, unlike the other mercenary groups.
It seemed to benefit the Glugalia side as well.
The Geese Squadron, which had more profits to cover than 500 humans, had nothing to do with the merchants.
There was also a profit on the side of Glugaria, and the amount seemed to be quite large.
It was in another country that I heard such a story.
The Orient is not in a big fight right now.
This is because they fought one after another against the five surrounding countries, defeated them, built a wall near the border, and concluded a ceasefire treaty.
This means that there are other countries like the Orient and the Glugalia countries that have a truce.
And the differences between those countries were similar to those of Glugaria.
Once upon a time, we were in a position to fight and defeat the Orient, we suffered a decline in our national strength and were targeted by other nations.
That's when I heard about the Barca Mercenaries.
A group of mercenaries like my own, the Secretary of Defense of the Orient, have been sent to the Glugalia country, where they fought many times, and they continue to produce results without any particular problems.
Moreover, the contract fee was clearly stated, and I was not worried that it would be overwhelmed.
Moreover, it seems that the Orient countries are also arranging for merchants to actively supply food and weapons.
All countries were struggling to reduce their fighting power, recessions, and monetary shortages.
It seemed that it was good to be able to secure the battle force in such a situation.
Renting a well-trained mercenary on a multi-year contract would suffice if it worked normally.
Not only that, but things move through the merchants who carry the food.
Or we can do business with the merchant ourselves.
And perhaps it was even better to be able to pull off a force called the Barca Mercenaries.
The surrounding countries attacked one after another, but all of them were lost in the Orient.
Even though the Orient army is still alive, the presence of a similarly organized mercenary group in the country is dangerous, but also good.
If five countries borrowed 500 mercenaries at a time, that would mean that there were 2,500 men coming from the Orient.
Even if there was a ceasefire agreement, it was still unsettling.
In that sense, other nations have contracted for years to send a company-size force from the Barca Mercenaries.
In that case, the most troublesome were the local proprietary forces.
Even just listening to the story, the city surrounded by walls was captured one after another, and money and goods were taken out and sold.
And no country can help me with that.
Because they became independent so that they could become independent of the country.
At this rate, the unique forces in the surrounding country and beyond will be a sweet fruit that the Barca Mercenaries will delight in.
I don't know if I can fight and win, but I don't know.
It would be better to listen to the story of the defeated proprietary faction in one or eight battles.
So, people like Bing in Melbie's city just showed up.
I'm sure he worked hard to gather the information.
The Barca Mercenaries sent all over the place attacking the city with their mighty weapons because they are mujahideen with the mission of liberating their followers.
It means that those who can use magic are followers of the Vulcan religion, and that they are on the side of justice in defeating and liberating the rogue who abuses it.
So what do we do?
The answer is simple.
If only we were believers.
There is no reason to be attacked if you are a follower of Vulcanism, not an outlaw who is abusing magic.
That's why some of our own factions have changed their saddles with their soft heads.
Show the Barca Church the will to convert and have it officially recognized as a believer.
If the main people in the city were to do the same, it would mean adding more allies.
Because the Church of Barca is willing to help its followers.
If there is a crisis for us in the future, there is a chance that I and the Barca Mercenaries will be able to help through the Barca Church.
Independence from the rule of the country, but also under the umbrella of the Church of Barca.
As a result, the Barca Mercenaries' fight for the money of others led to a gradual increase in the Barca Church's influence.
