"Eye, check. Is Elvis in the new Barca Street?"

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

Affirmative. Mr. Elvis Barca is in New Barca Street.

"Good. I think the assassins are going to come after me directly from what I just reported, but please let Elvis know about this too, just in case. There is a possibility that Elvis or others may be targeted by the assassins.

"No problem. I have already informed Mr. Elvis Barca when I flew the tracking bird. He instructed me to check closely when entering the new Barca town.

"I see. Well, thank you for getting the job done so quickly. Now I have one more task for you. Ai, who is in Valiant, go down to the ground and talk to the people over there. If they want to come to the city and get rowdy, they should come now.

"Yes, sir. We'll start moving our forces out of Valiant.

"Please. And make sure you get the names and faces of all the councilors who agreed to send assassins after me. I will never forgive them.

　When I heard from Ai on the ship about the assassins, I immediately gave him the following instructions.

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

　One was to the new Barca Street where Elvis was located.

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

　This was because I was not familiar with the assassins.

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

　It would be fine if they came straight for me, but it would be troublesome if they used some kind of trickery.

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

　We also don't want Mitya or anyone else to be kidnapped.

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

　We should be vigilant.

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

　And at the same time, I'm going to ask Ai in the variant to make a move.

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

　The variant far north of here is a place at the foot of very high mountains called Daisetsuzan, or Mt.

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

　We will gather people from there and send them there.

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

　Of course, the people coming from there will not be old men and children, but young men.

　In other words, a supply of mercenaries.

"Wait a minute, Commander Alphonse. What do you mean by recruiting people from Valiant?　You mean as mercenaries?"

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

"Yes, Walter. Right now, there are still very few mercenaries in the Barka Mercenaries. This is partly because I have kept their numbers low to support them. I had to make sure that they had enough to eat. But I had them trained far away so that I could use them when the time came."

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

"Really? Could it be that the people over there are also able to use things like [training]?"

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

"Yes. Actually, we sent some of them over there before. I named them, and the ones who could use the training were renamed in the variant, and I had them teach the young mercenary candidates swords and bows, as well as how to organize themselves as a group. Well, Elvis trained them over there originally. Even if we bring him here, he should be able to join the Barka Mercenaries as an immediate asset to some extent.

"Does that mean that you were thinking of eventually fighting the Orient?"

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

"I don't know.　But, as they say, with a little preparation comes a lot of pain. Even if that's not the case, the Barka Mercenaries are so few in number that we should at least do this."

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

　The Barka Mercenaries are still weak.

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

　With Ian, the Warrior of Atmos, it was becoming reasonably well known in these parts of the country.

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

　In fact, the surrounding countries had not challenged the supposedly weak Orient to any major battles in the past few years.

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

　But still, as a mercenary group, they are small in size.

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

　I have heard of mercenary groups that have taken over cities in other countries, but some of them have more people than ours.

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

　Well, I have my doubts about whether such a group is properly organized and operated, but numbers are always justified.

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

　However, it is not always good to increase the number of members only.

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

　This is because the strength of a group can vary greatly depending on its members, even if the number of members is the same.

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

　If there is a so-called knight or nobleman, he is not just one man who is a force of a hundred, but he is literally one man.

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

　With this in mind, what do you think of the current situation of the Barka Mercenaries?

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

　The New Barca Town, where we are based, has a strength of about 500, and the only strong ones are Ian and Elvis.

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

　And the closest to New Barca is the city-state of Orient.

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

　The number of soldiers that can be mobilized there is more than several thousand.

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

　And even though it is a weak country, Banagher and other members of the Diet have magical power comparable to that of knights and nobles.

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

　In addition, they also have a long-range weapon called the "magic bow Orient.

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

　In terms of organizational strength, the Orient is probably superior at the moment.

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

　The Orient has released an assassin.

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

　This is not normal.

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

　If they really blame us for attacking the lumberyard in Grougalia, they should have just called me up.

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

　Or, if you consider the Barka mercenaries a danger, you could have taken advantage of the opportunity to attack the city with my troops away from their stronghold.

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

　Instead, you have a good reason for sending assassins to kill me.

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

　Maybe they want the magical tools or the church or something in the new Barca town.

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

　In other words, even if they intend to eliminate me, there is a strong possibility that they do not intend to fight against the Barka mercenaries.

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

　But that's not the case here.

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

　Since they're trying to kill me, we have no choice but to consider them as enemies.

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

　Then we must be ready to fight the Orient.

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

　That's why we need a few more men, if possible.

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

　Will it be a little while before the reinforcements arrive from Valiant?

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

　By then, the assassins will be coming for me.

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

　I will defeat or capture them, get proof that the Orientals have made an attempt on my life, and then I can start fighting back.

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

　I'll have Elvis get ready for that.

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

　I get off the boat when we reach the bank of the Gulu River, and I can't help but laugh as I think about the upcoming battle with the Orientals.
