　The Saladians once made a name for themselves as martial artists.

　They are said to be a family of practical wizards who possess both defensive and offensive magic, such as the water wall.

　It is said that the Saladians once fought against a dragon together with the first king of the Dorren royal family, and they are proud of the fact that they still pass it down to this day.

　It is said that they are proud of the fact that they are still telling the story of the battle.

　However, the Saladia family is now under the control of another noble family.

　I don't know much about it, but it seems that one of their ancestors made a bad move long ago.

　After he failed in a certain battle and captured an important land, he lost his power to excel other noble families even though he was proud of being a noble family.

　Still, they kept their independence for a while, but finally they were taken over by another power.

　It was the Reinsatz family, the dominant aristocrat of the time.

　However, they probably did not feel very happy about this.

　According to what Biran, the head of the House of Saladia, told with his subordinate Coffin, the knight of Saladia who served as a bridge for this negotiation, it seems that they did not have a good relationship with the Reinsatz family.

　Apparently, the Saladians, a prestigious aristocratic family with practical magic, were a bit dangerous in the eyes of the Reinisatz faction.

　That may be why they were treated a little poorly by the Reinthaats.

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

　In order to get rid of this bad treatment, they actively sought opportunities to play an active role whenever there was a war, but they did not receive much in return.

　According to the Saladians' side of the story, they were frustrated because of such a situation.

　Therefore, they readily nodded to our negotiations this time.

　We will cut off our ties with the Reinsatz family and join forces with the Reed family.

　It didn't take him long to give his approval.

　The head of the Reinsatz family himself came to me, so he must have been very enthusiastic.

"So, has the Haman family given you an answer yet, Mr. Barka?

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

"It seems so, Mr. Bilan. It is difficult to give you an answer right now.

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

"Hmm. It's like the Hamans, the pawns of the Reinzatz family. They are the kind of people who are always trying to curry favor with the Reinisatz family. They can't make quick decisions.

"When you were fighting the ...... Barka army, the Saladia and Haman families came out to spearhead the fight, are you surprised that they don't get along?"

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

"They can't be close. They are cowards, Lord Barca. They are the ones who wander about beside us when we are active on the battlefield as the forces of the Reinisatz, and they are the ones who take credit for our successes. You might say that he and the Saladians are bitter enemies.

"That's terrible. Then let's give the Hamans another beating. We can't allow opportunism when the Kingdom of Rizzolte is making moves on Reinsatz territory.

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

"Then we, the Saladians, would like to join you. We will certainly play an active role. Let us fight for Fontana together.

　Can this nobleman called Bilan or something like that be trusted?

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

　Could it be that they are pretending to be on our side and then, when push comes to shove, they are trying to turn the tables on us?

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

　But there is no way to know that, even if you think about it.

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

　Then, let's think about it later.

　If we can use them, we should think about using them to the fullest.

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

　It seems that the Saladians are willing to move with the Barka forces and even fight for them.

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

　Of course, they have their own purposes in mind.

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

　One is to gain our trust in a clear way.

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

　They are saying that since they risked their lives to fight, they should be rewarded accordingly.

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

　In particular, since the Saladians have said that they will cut off their ties with the Reinzatz and join the Fontana side because of the way they have been treated, there is a good chance that they will eventually turn against us if we treat them roughly.

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

　Another reason is that they are eyeing the surrounding forces.

　If the Reinsatz territory is successfully carved out and made into the Reed territory, the Saladians, who have the geographical advantage in this area and were the first to join us, may be able to make the biggest face among the forces in these areas.

　But for that purpose, the existence of the Haman family, which has a long history like the Saladia family and can use the same kind of magic as the Saladia family, such as [wind wall], would have been an obstacle.

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

　Perhaps Biran had information that the Haman family was reluctant to reply before he told them that he would join them.

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

　If the Hamans do not join us, then there is a possibility that Barka will fight with the Hamans, who could be an obstacle on the way.

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

　If so, he might be thinking of taking advantage of the fight to beat the Hamans and if possible, seize a part of their territory.

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

　In fact, the Hamans and Saladians are neighbors and have historically been on bad terms with each other.

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

　It is quite difficult to get along with neighboring fiefdoms, as it was the case with me.

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

　Especially in the area of water resources, there are always disputes and conflicts.

　Therefore, the Saladians, who had fallen to our side, chose to fight against the Hamans of the Reinsatz faction with Barca.

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

　And I accepted it.

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

　In fact, Barka's army, composed only of cavalrymen, is by far the more mobile.

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

　But still, numbers are justice.

　The Saradians, formerly of the Reinsatz clan, sent an army to attack the Hamans of the Reinsatz clan, which won the battle and marched onward.

　What would the other noble families and knightly houses of the Reinsatz family do if they heard such a story?

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

　They might be quick to see the opportunity and follow the Saladians to Fontana's side.

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

　If not, they would be able to get someone who could temporarily take charge of the captured Haman territory.

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

　I had no reason to refuse the Saladians' offer.

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

　Thus, the Barka army surrendered and began to invade the city of Haman with the army led by Biran, the head of the House of Saladia, who had pledged to fight with them.
