The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

Ted and Orphelia were waiting for Aldis to return to the inn, sitting opposite a table in a cafeteria for four.

The store, which offers bedding and alcohol to mercenaries, is unlikely to get loud by the drunken voices late at night. But only today it looks different. Drinking cup It is the same noisy, but the air filled with no air of cheerfulness. Because there is a person holding it.

"What is Norris?"

Aldis asks them while sitting down on an empty chair.

"I'm going to buy information."

"Everywhere here and there is chaos and I don't know if I can get accurate information."

They also seemed to have exchanged information with the innkeeper and fellow mercenaries. However, other mercenaries do not see the outside situation directly like the Aldis. It seems that only hoaxes with low authenticity were heard.

"I'm sorry I've been waiting."

Norris returns when Aldis orders food and drink from the waitperson. He poured the water in the glass on the desk and sat down violently to the remaining seats and breathed.

"Cheers for good work"

Oreferia pours fresh water from a jug into a glass and gives it to Norris. After a refreshing drink of the second glass of water, Norris finally began reporting.

"The upper one looks like crazy, but it seems like it's moving fast. It's like I'm going to hit me at dawn."

"Is the Ratingin army so regular?"

"That's right. I guess it wasn't five hundred or so? Even though most beasts are the majority, it's against that number ..."

Norris answers Ted's questions.

"Yeah, there were only about 500 regular soldiers. And if you look at the battle at the West Gate, you're going to be tough with monsters. It's about getting a request from the country to participate in the war. ''

"That's natural, of course."

"But, I don't know how many mercenaries there are, at most a hundred or two hundred. There aren't a thousand or two thousand. Even if you're a beast opponent, we're all there. Can't you count the number of people? "

"Well, are you saying you're fortunate during the misfortune? Right now, it's like a city of powerful mercenaries from home and abroad."

Norris is one of the most famous mercenary parties, including "Free Cloud", "Dragon", "Guiding Spirit", and "". Todor All of them were strong people who made their name across countries.

"There are five hundred regular soldiers, one hundred mercenaries, and militia will also be called, so do you think that the number is more than two thousand?"

Raitin has a population of over 50,000. Even if you aren't a full-time soldier, gathering people you know well will be a reasonable number.

Of course, there is no room for preparation in a sudden situation, so no equipment is available and no prior training is possible. However, if the beasts break through the city walls and flow into the city, the wait is for the death of family and lovers. It is a battle where the militia can never lose. Morale will be high.

"We fight against monsters, regular soldiers fight against beasts, and militia fight against beasts with numbers saying."

"Yeah. It looks like the country is thinking about what Aldis said. The mercenaries are rewarded with two gold coins each, and three gold coins each time the monster is defeated."

Three gold coins in one monster. It is too expensive to think about normally. However, the government is not willing to pay for the difficult situation where failure to subdue could even lead to the collapse of Ratingen. I don't know how many monsters are there, but if you defeat 10 of them, you'll get a lot of fruit.

"But, if the mercenary's employer had to swing his head vertically, would it be a desk theory? Surely the Dragon's Vampire and the Red Sanken are umbrellas-uh, what were their names? …… Somehow the Shokai— ”

"Zimbaril Shokai"

"Yes, you've been asked by the Zimbaril firm?"

That was exactly what Ted said. Mercenaries operate at the request of their employers. There is often a contract between a mercenary and an employer, and it is often required that no other contract be made during the term of the contract.

From an employer's point of view, it's irresistible to be thrown out on the way, saying, "That's better." Mercenaries, only seen as rogues, barely gain citizenship by obeying contracts.

Of course, there are quite a few unsuccessful mercenaries who make their contracts go wrong. But the famous mercenaries Norris spoke of would be different from the gorotsuki mercenaries nearby. I don't want to neglect the contract.

Conversely, it means being bound by the contract. If their employers run selfishly and prioritize the protection of their lives and property, even those who have the ability to do so cannot be a force.

"That's it."

Norris opens her mouth as soon as she listens.

"The Zimbaril firm seems to have grasped the situation and asked the mercenaries to cooperate in the subjugation battle. `` Guidance of the Spirit '' came to Ratingin at the request of Zimbaril.

Byakuya Originally, the Ted and others, "The Mysterious Star," had come to Leiting upon a request from Zimbaril. It's no wonder that the firm calls out to the Dragon Dragon and Red Sword.

"This is only because the Zimbaril firm has stated that it will fully cooperate. If the firm says that mercenaries will not participate in the defeat ..."

The wins will be very thin, says Orphelia.

The beasts alone could manage regular soldiers and other mercenaries, but it is difficult when there are monsters mixed. No matter how strong the Ted are, it is physically impossible to take on all the monsters here and there.

"In addition, they seem to be actively providing militia weapons and wall repair materials. Zimbaril's reputation in the country and the army seems to be eel."

"What are the other firms doing?"

Aldis remembers the mess of the Litte firm.

"Well, I didn't hear anything about the other firms. I don't know the situation, maybe it's just going right and left? That's why the Zimbaril firm's skillfulness stands out. Well, it's amazing."

Norris laughs in an ironic tone.

It has been less than half a day since the event was discovered. Probably little is known about the situation except at the top of the country. It is "too much" to make quick decisions and offer cooperation.

In addition, given that the information was so circulating, it was possible that a member of the Zimbalil firm was even touching it. Until then, it's a strong merchant, but it's not only Aldis that feels a stink.

Apparently Norris was also concerned about it. Even if not in words, there was an unfavorable feeling for Zimbaril.

"Well, it's not bad for us to get the help of Zimbaril. The first priority is to repel the herd of beasts."

"It's exactly what Norris says. That ska merchant doesn't like it, but it's good to see at least a win."

It may be that Norris' feelings were transmitted to Ted. I vomit the muttered words with rejoicing.

"What? Ted's, are you still saying that? Isn't that because the chairman of Zimbaril Shokai was a man?

"Is there a reason?"

"It's definitely different!"

Together, Orphelia's irrelevant points argued strongly.

Aldis who has never met the chairman of Zimbaril Shokai looks sideways at the three people who have begun a light quarrel, and begins to work on the dishes that came out without concern. The warm steaming soup was soaked into the tired body, and the gravy and saltiness of the bread sandwiched with crunchy bacon filled Aldis' appetite.

There were only some places where East and West ingredients gathered, and there were some dishes that Aldis had never seen before. Despite the arguing Teds, they quietly flatten the dishes on the table.

Annihilation weapon The taste is reasonable. At least it's the difference compared to "Seseragi-tei". Kind Of course, that is something that should not be put on the ring of cooking, but Aldis mutters in his head only impressions that will not be given to others.

"Hello, you're not laughing at the side where people are arguing ..."

In spite of seeing such Aldis, Ted and others start eating as well as being stupid.

It was about an hour later that the soldiers touched the mercenary's lodges and taverns around the city, setting up a subdued army and dispatching the following morning.
