79-Intimidating negotiations



 I can't stop sweating in a cold sweat because of the power of the active ingredients and how fast they work. Isn't this a bad idea if you don't get him to surrender quickly and start the treatment immediately?

''Ryota, we scouted the area, but they're all down and dizzy. Some of them are in a coma, okay?''

 Finally, all the individuals are in a state of hypoglycemia...

"All hands to the food bank. We are now advised to surrender.

 There are already wagons loaded with food at the food collection point. The empty carts are for escorting Dark Kobolds and transporting their personal belongings. It's a large number of wagons, but it's actually cheap and easy to find.

 Many of the refugees used multiple wagons to escape their homeland. By the time they reached Aigis, they had exchanged the extra wagons for cash. That's how the used market had crashed.

 The gathering was immediately completed and the wagons were linked to the armored and self-propelled vehicles and towed. They stopped at a position where they could be seen by the Dark Kobold's guards.

 We immediately sent Mogu towards the messenger and started negotiations with the Dark Kobold.

I recommend surrender to the Dark Kobold chieftain. We understand that you are already weak and incapable of fighting. We have powerful magic and can subdue you. But we do not want to die for nothing. If you decide to surrender, we'll take food, medicine, and you to another mountain. There is a cave in there. Then we will prove our force, and you will offer it when you are satisfied]

 Mog is a spirit language, but the Chief can be understood by spirit magicians. The text was created by Window Flower.

 I saw the shadow of a dark kobold in the peephole. I'm the gunner and Manya is the loader, and we show our force. We fire shrapnel at the relative safety of the area with Karl Gustav.

 The tunnels trembled, and as early as the third shot, the chief opened his mouth.

【Human race, we are ready to surrender. But what guarantees do you have?]

 No, honestly, no. You'll just have to trust me. But I've given you some food for thought.

There's some medicine left by the exit. Also, there's food for you guys in the back. The other wagons are for convoy and personal effects. There's enough for everyone. You will test the effects of the potion in the doorway first. You will not be able to stand and you will not be able to fight. You can be subdued, but you must surrender.

 A few moments later, the sentry crawled out of the room in distress, took his pills, and returned.

[I want to check. Why would a man proceed to surrender, knowing this situation?
[A sign from the God I believe in] He told me not to kill as many as I could.

 The chief muttered, [Is there still a god who shows mercy to my race?] and began to consider.

 Well, how long will it take for the treatment to take effect....... But it only took five minutes to wait. He could feel the effects as early as possible. As expected of a goddess seal's special effects medicine.

[The potion helped the guard recover. If you provide me with the medicine first, I promise to surrender]

 It doesn't taste good when they cheat you out of your medication. But if you take the medicine too late, you could die.

[What are we to believe in the promise of the chief?
[I swear by the spirits. If we break our promise, we lose the blessings of the earth.

 The chief then took an oath, which Midia assured him was a formal oath. Quickly, he placed the medicine for the number of people near the doorway. The one from before, this time, walked stoutly to get them.

 It's the Goddess's special medicine, but........
 You're recovering too fast, don't you think?

 I'm afraid of the opposite of what kind of drug it is.
 Don't have any egregious side effects or anything, okay?
 Because it's going to be a bad aftertaste.

 And ten more minutes of waiting.

We surrender. We'll be there in half an hour, packing up our things and on our way.
[Weapons may be carried if they are not equipped. They will be returned upon arrival]

Returning their weapons? [Will we be warriors?
No, it's business as usual. You're free to fight people after we're gone.]

I like that deal. Those who rebel against surrender in the name of the chieftain are cut off]

  But when it's negotiable, it's hard to get rid of it in the future.......

''Window flower, were the other demons negotiable as well? I'm not really sure if I can continue as an exterminator...

They were originally Kobolds, a race that was less affected by the split with quasi-subhumans. There was also a berserk ogre, but that one is completely mad and has no reason. The others are on a different continent. Wouldn't it be better if we just refused to work with the Dark Kobolds?

 It seems that Kobold and Ogre are the only races in the Ares subcontinent that are divided into demons and quasi-subhumans. Other demons have language, but not reason. Orcs and goblins also seem to have a language, but no reason to keep their promises.

 Afterwards, the dark kobolds are escorted away to the mountains. After a day's travel, we arrive at our destination and leave our luggage at a remote location.

 He is Midea's interpreter, but he hears goodbye words from the chief.

[I have accepted the surrender in a losing battle. But now that we have kept our word, we will kill you next time we see you. We hate people, I don't know why, but you must understand that. Farewell.

 Without being told, I have no intention of getting involved anymore. The boloi cart is not worth it, let's just leave it alone and get back to it.


★ A few days later.

Mr. Ryota! The tunnel... the dark kobold has escaped. I suggest we get there as soon as possible. If you're the first to report in, then we're the ones who got rid of them!

 Does that mean I'm getting rid of it? I don't want to sound like a scammer and get paid for it but connections are important! We drove them out of people's lives. We drove them out of the living space. I immediately went to the tunnels, which I knew were safe, to check with Palio-kun.

I'm not completely gone........Thank you, Ryota-san, for going along with the dangerous confirmation work. As a thank you, I will send a letter to my father to arrange for him to visit Aigis's shield. Rest assured that it will be approved first.

 There's something deceptive about it, and it's awkward.

 Palio-kun was quite nervous even in the tunnels. In contrast, I was at the front of the pack, and I heard that I looked relaxed and relaxed.......brave. Actually, I just knew he wasn't there.

 However, it seems that the half-baked mercenary in question is missing and Palio-kun has to search for him. That's why he sent a letter to his father in lieu of a promise to visit the divine tool, and sent a letter to his father. I sent it by horse-flyer, so I can tell him that it will be ready by the time we reach the capital.

 Mr. Palio I'm sorry. I buried them to destroy the evidence! 

 I'm sorry for being a cheating adult....

 Palio is very busy looking for mercenaries. He's having difficulty finding any traces at all.

 They couldn't afford to launch, so we said a brief hello in the city and parted ways.


* The night before we left.

'Ryota-sama, it's late already, isn't it? Hmm? Are you writing something?

I don't think it's going to happen soon, but I thought I'd make a proposal to Viscount Sailor about the need for protocol in the war. The Arp is a neutral country with mercenaries. If you can leave it as a document, it might come to your attention one day. We should have international law of war in this world as well.

 Even in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China, a treaty was signed in the pact of Aoikyu not to use the Yellow River for military purposes. I think there is a possibility in this world as well.



A certain place in Japan

One of my men did it on his own. I don't remember. How do you like that?
"....Search girl........Ryota.........................solved it well. ...Don't worry...
