"Very good, that it is, Mr. Alphonse. The more people who have seen that well-disciplined movement with their own eyes, the more they appreciate it, that they do."

"That's good to hear. Then, we can continue to increase the number of mercenaries little by little.

Yes, that's right. But I think it was also because of the fact that Laura was in command, that it was. If Mister Alphonse or Mister Ian had won there with their unbeatable performance, they might have been regarded as dangerous, that they might have been.

 A few days have passed since the end of the military exercise.

 Afterwards, it seems that the evaluation in the Orient was quite good.

 Since it was held near the city-state, there were many people who observed it outside of our place.

 It seems that the victory was highly appreciated by them as well.

 It was also good that there were no outstanding individuals.

 A beautiful woman on a bright red Valkyrie commanded the army and won an overwhelming victory over the army of the Orient.

 It seems that the people of this weak nation, which had been sustained by trade and diplomacy, saw this spectacle in a glorious way.

 Perhaps they thought it might be a reference that they could fight in the same way.

 It also helped that Ai's plan worked out so well.

 If Ian and I had fought to the best of our ability and won, we probably would have been called barbaric.

 In our case, we usually kicked them off with a charging attack, charging in at the front.

 But the wounding rate of our opponents would have been much higher if we fought like that.

 In this case, there were few injuries on both sides because of pushing and pulling.

 Since we had told the fighters in advance that they should retreat if they were injured or attacked in a potentially fatal way, very few of them suffered serious injuries.

 If more people had been injured, it is possible that there would have been more animosity toward them.

 It seems that the fact that these mercenaries, who are not normally impressive by nature, fought well under good leadership, gave a sense of security to the people of this country.

 They could be a reliable force to protect themselves.

 We were able to make them feel that way.

 That's good enough.

 And thanks to this, perhaps a few more mercenaries will not be seen as a danger.

 We will continue to recruit regularly to increase our strength.

Yes, that's right. I have been a member of the Diet for a long time, that I have a supporters' group. Therefore, I can predict to some extent the number of votes I can get, that I can. But that is not the case with Ms. Laura, that it is not. I think she will probably do well, that I know, but I can't say anything too uncertain, that I can't."
