"Guise. Your company is going to the Hail Medium in the country of Bulgaria. I'm looking forward to working with you."

Yes, sir. I'm going to kill all the enemies.

That's the spirit. But don't wear out the mercenaries too much. We're sending out a company of mercenaries this time, but if we leave them with you for two years, that means we won't be able to supply you with men during that time. Be careful, because if you reduce the number too much, you will be close to death.

　He replied to Hale in the country of Glugaria that he would take the job of a mercenary company.

　Normally, I would have gone myself.

　But I can't.

　I can't go to another country to work under a contract that binds me for two years.

　So, I entrusted a company of mercenaries from the Barka Mercenaries to a man named Geese, who was going to take them to Bulgaria.

　He is from the favelas of the Orient.

　Like Kiku, he took Ai's lectures, but he seemed to focus more on fighting than on learning.

　His skill with the spear has improved more than others, and he has a minimum of knowledge, so I think he is strong enough to be in charge of a company.

　I will give such a lesson to Geese.

"Understood. But you don't mind if I gather people by myself, do you?

No problem. The headquarters of the Barka Mercenaries will receive a portion of the payment from Lord Hale, but the rest will be used for the mercenaries we have sent. If you can gather people and secure equipment and food, you can gather as many as you like within that range."

"You mean it's important to manage your money. It's okay. I've learned about logistics from Mr. Ai.

"Good luck with that. Well, I'm sure it'll be all right. I'll be there to help you.

　I wonder if Giese can manage the mercenaries who will be heading to the country of Grougalia.

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

　To be honest, I don't know how well he'll do.

　He may have what Ai is teaching him in his head, but whether or not he can put it into practice is another story.

　Therefore, I am prepared to help him to do well.

What do you mean by assistance?　Master Alphonse is not coming to help you, is he?"

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

"Well, yes. I don't think so, unless there is a request for help from the Orientals from the country of Glugaria. But merchants are different. I'll try to arrange it through the merchants who travel around with bills of passage to different countries.

"Merchants?　If Master Alphonse says so, then you are not an ordinary peddler, are you?"

"Of course. I don't know where in Gulugaria we will have to fight, but it will be close to the Gulu River. There will be merchants with boats heading there from that river, so you can try to make some deals."

　The mercenary companies that are dispatched will probably move from one place to another, unless they are defending a specific stronghold.

　If they are sent to other countries, they will be able to move around more freely.

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

　They may be paid to work, but they are not a regular army.

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

　They may go to a different place from the main army, like a detachment.

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

　And there they will get something of value.

　The main income of the mercenaries is not only the remuneration from their employers, but also the supplies they can get in the battlefield.

　But they may be bought off by the merchants of the Gulagari State.

　Therefore, it was decided to let the merchants who have a hand in this area buy as much of the goods as possible.

　Mercenaries led by Geese would go from place to place to make money, and the merchants who traveled in powered steel boats would pick up the goods.

　With the money earned from the trade, Guise manages to run the mercenaries, and these mercenaries are then transported to other places using powered iron plate ships.

　It may be the Orient, or it may be another land.

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

　And then they make a profit.

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

　Of course, the money earned by the merchants will also increase our income.

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

　As long as they use powered steel boats, we will be able to collect as much as they earn.

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

　In short, the dispatch of the Barka mercenaries will depend on how well Gies can lead his company to recover the supplies.

"So it's important to know how far we can get away from the Bulgarian army and do as we please, right?"

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

"Yes, that's right. I think it's a matter of how to move freely while producing enough results so that people won't complain if we move without their permission. So, let's do this for Gijs, too. Don't ever lose this or give it to anyone, okay?"

"Isn't this the Ice Spirit Spear?　Can I have it?"

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

"Yes. It is a magic weapon that produces a spear of ice when you put magic power into it. It's very valuable, so be careful not to have it stolen.

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

"Of course. Of course. I'll make sure I keep it with me at all times. Thank you, Mr. Alphonse. I'm going to make a lot of money in Grougalia.

　With these words, Guise, the commander of the detachment, headed for the Hail Medium with his company in tow.

　A short time later, the goods obtained in various villages and towns flowed into the Orient via the Gulu River.
