Black Haired King

"Well, shall we have a talk? I don't know why you were bandits here."

I ask Grave, the man who sits in front of me. Next door is a woman named Milena who sits next door with a resident representative or something. Grave is naturally the leader who led the bandits.

Everyone else is asked to wait outside. There's only two of us here. Grimd is being watched with the soldiers so that the other bandits don't do anything bad.

"Okay. We were originally residents of the Kingdom of Britalis. He, Grave and I worked as soldiers and samurai in a certain aristocratic mansion, but as I'm sure the Viscount knows, the Kingdom of Britalis was defeated in this previous war.

The aristocracy we supported was one of the areas where there was war, and naturally the territory was also hit by war. "

Milena talks pale about the old days. Speaking of which, while I was losing my mind in the war, Lorna said you subdued the neighborhood.

"As a result, the lord was killed, and the deputy from Albust ruled the land as it were, but that deputy began to come for taxes three times more than before, for a young woman, to the point that our inhabitants could no longer live. I heard later that there were a lot of other territories that were."

Um, I don't know much about that territory either. Victoria said chills before, but surely the third princess should be ruling that territory.

Victoria said she was a good enough man to be no different from Master Froze, who married Torness. Do you know anything about Grimd?

"Grimd, come on!

As soon as I shouted at the entrance, Grimd arrived.

"What is it, Lady Redius?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I need you to tell me about the king's realm you won in the last war. I was in the war, but I didn't know what happened after it was over."

"Is it Wang Di? I get it. The king's kingdom is currently being seconded by the third princess of the kingdom of Albust, Princess Patricia Albust, as deputy to the king's kingdom.

However, Princess Patricia will not show any movement yet, but she will have to keep an eye on the Kingdom of Britalis, which will be attacking her, so she rarely moves from near the current border with the Kingdom of Britalis.

As a result, the Listnick Marquis, close to Territory 1, manages most of the territory instead of Princess Patricia. "

... I see. Not all of them, I guess, but the deputy sent by the Wristnick Marquis is raising the amount of tax.

I don't know if that is the order of the Wristnick Marquis or the discretion of the deputy. But we can't say anything about this.

If the tax is even ruled by the state, you may be free to some extent. The state intervenes when it is too bad, but this time the place is a territory of many translations.

"So you guys, from that territory to this point?

"Yes, not all of us, but about 20 people who thought it was no longer possible in that city, picked up some war orphans and later came together to endorse us in the towns and villages around us to become this number"

"Why this territory? There would have been other territories, wouldn't there?

"That would mean that the lord of this territory would be gone, wouldn't it? At that time, the security of this area was slowed down. That's why it's easy for us to get in."

... then? Well, then, they've been here nearly six months.

The number of bandits is about 50 people who were soldiers. About 30 peasants with combat experience, such as warcraft, against them. The rest, about 100 peasants who have no combat experience, seem to be the bandits who were fighting earlier.

Others say about 150 non-combatants, like Milena. Nearly 400 of them were in this stronghold. It's just that non-combatants weren't here all the time, they even went down the mountain and worked in the town at the foot.

"400 people. Grimd, the population of Viscount Arnold."

"Five thousand, I guess."

Hmm. That said, you said there was land Christians wanted to mock. And Grave's bow has a lot of skill. To be honest, I want to be one of them.

"Grimd, can we accept all of them?

"I also have to talk to Christian, but he'll be fine. Make him a soldier?

"Oh, I want that bow. A blow that can be unleashed from outside the magic. It's quite powerful, too. Besides, almost all amateurs can get rid of Count Kentley's soldiers. I have to talk to Count Kentley."

Grimd snorts at my words, too. I suppose you want Grimd to be a force of war too. I have a priori, so I have some bondage until I can trust you, but I'm not going to let you do anything I can't.

After that, they'll just accept it.
