shi+on Tristan’s Story of the past Part 3 – Slave War

I headed northhere the territory of Marquis Morlot was located

When I first told my idea to sir Kasihed

[Well saidThen please do as you like]

That’s all he said

Boarding the shi+p…for the first tihts of my hometown

=====

◆

My destination…was Baronet Parom’s territory which was the rebel’s headquartersOf course, I inevitably met with my brother

[Older brother……it’s been a long time…]

Meeting Luke again for the first time after several years…his face hardenedI had ditched my responsibility as the first son, ski booksThinking back about hoas the only one who got to study at the I of guilt

[Luke……it’s been hard on you]

[No, it’s nothing compared to the hardshi+p that the people experienced]

Luke’s attitude softenedWe smiled to each otherBut there was no time to rekindle our brotherhoodHe’s a clientele, and I’m here to solve his predicament

Brought by Luke, alongside other barons and baronets, we entered the room of the leaders

There were 5 clans that caused the rebellion this ti them, Baron Parom was the mastermind behind the rebellion

I was an acquainted with Baron Parom before

When he was still a baronet, he used to co…it’s s nonetheless

HIine what have driven him to this situation

[Oh…to think that it’ll be you ill coe…]

Baron ParohBut I noticed that he had a subservient look in his eyesIt’s hard to believe that he’s the ure of his past……he looked like a different person now

[Why did you do so like this…could you please tell me the reason?]

Baron Paro

=====

◆

It appear that all of this started due to Marquis Morlot himself

This year, the northwestern part of Arcadia Eular weather, which in turn caused bad cropsUnder that circumstance, the marquis actually raise the annual tax and procure materials to build his personal mansionHe also leeched on the other aristocrats who reside on the northwestern area

[The citizens had begun to starveI heard the starvation was even worse for the slave servants…it’s like hell on earth]

Baron Paroht of the peopleBut what he saw there…was even erAnd only his mansion and lands remained fertile

[I voiced the coht of the peopleBut his ansas not what I expected…]

Marquis Morlot issued an order for Baron Parohter, and as many women as possible to work as his slave servants

[My family is not a souvenir…]

Tears dropped from Baron Parom’s eyes when he said that

[I knew that the whole area was suffering the sameI heard of how Marquis Morlot can be very unreasonableEven if I reported this to the capital, it’ll require power to crush the oppositionAnd so…I gathered the like-minded clans around the area]

[Brother…]

Luke resu after Baron Paros and collapsed

[It’s not only Parom territoryTristan clan’s territory is also like hell…would you please lend us a hand…?]

I observed Luke for a whileHe had wrinkles on his forehead which didn’t exist before…probably due to a lot of hardshi+psAfter looking at the situation some more, I opened my eyes and replied

[My only condition is for all of you to follow my instruction unconditionallyIf all of you can do so, then I will surely lead us to victoryWill you agree to that?]

And naturally…there was none who opposed to my condition

=====

◆

My aim this time was quite simple

Isolate the Marquis capital, and take his head

[First of all, let’s increase the number of our forces]

[No, it’s difficult to increase the number as of now…]

[Set the slave servants freeI’ll handle the rest]

Many of those slaves were beasthly capable of fightingA strong troops can be for them

However, Baron Paro it

[……but hoould the church think about that…]

[Did the church have anything to do with all og this?]

[…………]

Presently, the church is enforcing the discriainst the dee influence in the eainst them

Certainly it would enrage the church if we do it in the openBut our first priority now is too survive

[Clean up the problem in front of you firstWe’ll keep the matter of the demi-humans for later]

I resu

[The situation will greatly shi+ft if we release the deet]

Starting from the 5 territories, I decided to release the slave servants and incorporate the town and cities

That’s not allI also spreaded so Marquis Morlot to the public

Tax will continue to rise starting from now

If you won’t obey, your whole family will be killed

If the slaves rebelled, they will receive similar punishment

If they don’t rise up now, there won’t be any tomorrow for them

A few days later, a lot of people contactedto join the rebellionAnd, at the same time, the city officials said that they were overwhelmed by the momentum of people who started to enter the camp one after another

Listening to this news, Baron Parom and Luke were surprised

[No way…in less than a reat of a scale…]

[It’s all thanks to Marquis Morlot’s past deedsThis is even more than I expected]

I laughed after saying so

Yes, it was more than I expectedMany clans under the Marquis and towns under his rule decided to switch sidesThis way, the fire I started began to burn steadily, and it’s only about time for it to spread to the whole northwestern area

=====

[Southwest of Tyrol, we’ll commence the decisive battle here at the swamp area]

Saying that, I explained the strategy while pointing to the map with a fan

After listening to me, I noticed that the aristocrats ere present at the hed

[Pardon me but will you hear me out a little?]

[Pardon me but will you hear me out a little?]

One aristocrat raised the question

[Certainly you strategy is aBut there is only Marquis Capital on the northwestHe still have a lot of clans and towns under his rule…… would it be better to take our time and act carefully?]

The tone was calm, but the accusation that lies inside his words was evident

[Attacking thoroughly…it does sound goodLess people will die that e ht really be able to do it]

[Then…]

[However, ti, the eular arer of Saxon』was the one who leads the subjugation army, it’ll be no doubt that the whole northwest area will end up charred]

Listening to , all of them turned pale

[Therefore, we’ll have to end this war decisively, then try to stabilize the land as soon as possibleWe’ll have to e somehow]

To that, the aristocrat who raised the question earlier spoke once more

[In that case, I have onecavalry?]

[Since it’s Baron Descartes, I don’t have any complaints!]

[I will just follow!]

The young aristocrats became excitedPerhaps they were all on Descartes’ sideHoweverIt was Baron Parom who came to shi+eld me

[Lord DescartesYou are certainly young and brave…but this tireed to follow Tristan’s instruction…]

All of the doused like that

They then started to raise their voice

[Really nohat a general! He didn’t even listen to our suggestions while devising strategies]

The contempt was obvious in each word

[Well, that’s fineBut Tristan-dono, have you decided to leave out theto everyone here? Will you be able to keep your end of bargain?]

[Yes, of courseI will keep my promise, brave Descartes]

Hearing my answer, he nodded and left the military council

=====

◆

The council is overAll other aristocrats had left, leaving only Luke, Baron Parom and me alone

[Although many answered to our call, why is it really hard to put everyone together…]

Baron Parom seemed to about to cry

[But older brother…are you sure you can fulfill that proht to represent the area』so easily……]

Luke was also confused

Previously, I told to the other aristocrats misinforreatest achieveht to represent the area

[Originally the rebellion was incited by baron Paroe…]

Descartes joined us late after other local aristocrats had gatheredHowever thanks to his high rank, he’s been showing attempts to move behind our backIn addition to that, he’s not co with the decision to free the slave servants, saying that they will only wage violence

[Luke, I know you meant wellBut…that fellow is necessaryEndure it for a while]

That guy is necessary to put everyone togetherI have to bind him here somehow

While coht about the future battle

When I walked in the hallway

[shi+on-sama, please wait]

A voice stopped hter, Rina Parom

[Oh, RinaHow have you been?]

[U, is he?]

A s

[Ere?]

[No…pardonwith me properly]

Rina in turn s my reply

[That’s good to hear…I thought that s downAnyways, if there is so you need, please tell me]

Rina has a gentle character like her fatherHowever, she can also act out of character fro brave, and sometimes a bit hot blooded

Once, fully armed, she said that she’ll lead the army in place of her father

That appearance when she’s wearing light arhtHowever, she’s still indeed a Baron’s daughterThere was still a lady-like atmosphere around herEven I, who rarely had any interest in interacting oman, found her rather attractive

(If this girl was a boy instead…Baron Paroht differently…)

Co to know the personality, I could think this much

(This girl will balance ith Luke…)

[Anyways RindonoDo you ?]

[Yes! What is it!?]

[Lindono, have you already had a gentleman decided in your mind??]

[Na!?]

Fuuess it’s too impulsive of me

[Ah, no, it’s fineThat kind of thing will coet it]

[……why did shi+on-sa?]

Rina asked while having a blushi+ng faceI should tell her honestly to avoid

[Well, e and I wonder if you two are a match…]

[shi+on-sama……is the worst]

Oh? I wonder why she becary…I really don’t understand woman’s heart

While looking at the Rindono leaving angrily…I tilted my head

A few days laterThe hts in response to us setting our camp there as expected

[Foolish peasantsI will crush you all thoroughly!]

I could tell what he said even from a distance

[He’s really a simple manI didn’t expect that he’ll come with such a simple invitation]

I took off lasses

[Now then, we shall commence as plannedWill that be okay?]

I took off lasses

[Now then, we shall commence as plannedWill that be okay?]

[ [ [Affirmative] ] ]

And the decisive battle began
