"What do you want?　Did you still want to whip the loser?"

"No, not at all, Sir Coffin, Knight of Saladia. I was hoping to make a deal with you."

"A deal?　Very well. We who have been so utterly defeated have been given the opportunity to be cured by the Blue Saints, so let's hear what they have to say.

"Well, let me get straight to the point. The Kingdom of Resolute has launched an invasion against the territory of Rheinsatz. We, the forces of Barca, are aware of this and have no choice but to move. It is necessary for us to cut our way into the territory of Rheinsatz before the Kingdom of Rysolte does. Do you understand what I mean by this?

"...... I see. So you mean a deal for our main family, the Saladians. Leave the Reinsatz family and join the Fontana. Is that what you mean?

"That's right, Mr. Coffin. I want you to go and persuade the Saladians, the main family. We will not attack you if you open your doors and bow down to the Balkan army that will enter the territory of Rheinsatz. But if there is any unsettled movement, we will not hesitate to attack. Would you be willing to take on the task of informing the House of Saladia of this?"

"...... Yes, sir. However, the main family may not give their nod on that condition alone. If possible, I would like to ask for the relief of the lands.

"If the House of Saladia falls under the Fontana, its master will be Kyle Reed, the head of the House of Reed. I promise you that I will tell Kyle Reed to relieve them of their lands."

"Thank you. Then, as a knight of Saladia, I will fulfill my duties with distinction.

　The Kingdom of Risolute began to invade the territory of Rheinsatz.

　Barka sees this and makes his move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But first, he had to make preparations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That is, to make a plan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Right now, the number of Barka's forces that can move is limited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With 7,000 cavalrymen, they would be able to cut their way into the territory of Reinzatz and achieve some success.

　However, there is absolutely not enough men to manage the captured city.

　The cities that were attacked might turn against Barka again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If that were to happen, the danger to Barka's army would increase.

　For this reason, they would rather pillage than invade.

　They decided to use the survivors of the battle between the Balkan army and the army of Reinsatz and to take them as prisoners of war.

　He offers a deal to any of the prisoners of war who is a knight or above.

　He asks them to go home, to surrender and to convince them to join Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, most of them agreed to this deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, that's as it should be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not a bad deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, they might be pleased just to bring back to their home countries the information that the Kingdom of Resolute is now on the move.

　Above all, the knights must know that the radio broadcast is likely to be effective here.

　Even those in the city of Richard who were not present knew in detail how they had been defeated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are many who may have understood the situation of the war in far greater detail than they themselves who were the ones who were fighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is obvious that this is true not only in the city of Richard, but also in their home town.

　Barca is strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Reinzatz family and the Kingdom of Rizzolte are also strong enough, but Barka, with its high military power, is now telling us to our faces that they will attack us if we do not agree to their deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be normal for them to nod their heads for the time being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If Barca or Fontana should be defeated and retreat, that would be the time.

　If they claim that they had no choice at that time and that it was an act to deceive the other side, there is a possibility that their house will survive.

　Besides, it would be easier to accept if the territory would be relieved.

　After all, the most important thing for nobles and knights is the survival of their houses and the maintenance of their territories.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if their masters are replaced, they will give priority to the survival of their families if it is guaranteed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because of such strength that the Saradians, who were an independent noble family in the first place, now follow the Reinsatz family, and the Saradian knights under them, such as Coffin, have come to the battlefield like this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, the interests are aligned in this transaction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, Coffin and many other knights promised to work for the approval of the deal to cooperate with the Barca army without blocking its way to the mainland or to their own house.

"What exactly should we do?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"First, let's have Lord Coffin's squire and others carry the letter and precede him. Then, Lord Coffin will go with the army of Barca. Then, when they enter the Saladia territory, how about Mr. Coffin himself going to the capital to persuade them?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. I think that's a good idea. Can I borrow your beast of burden?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. We have also recovered a beast that was used by the cavalry of the Reinisatz Army. We will allow you to use them. But be warned, if you delay in persuading them, the Balkan army may attack. We're in a hurry, after all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I understand. We will move immediately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, a large number of persuaders were sent to the territory of Rheinsatz.

　And as they moved, Barca also entered the territory of Rheinsatz, cutting his way through the territory to the capital of Rheinsatz.
