[We will be crossing the border of Brittany soon]
The one who inforht who acco directly under the Eeneral and the arht Shall we take a break for a bit here?]
With that, Ares instructed Sigurd to issue a short break command to the soldiers

Now, in the capital, Prince Carlos, Archduke Saxon and Princess Silvia were attending the sending-off cereuard
With hiht frourd has been following behind Ares like shadow
Since it'll be very noticeable if he was to ride the ancient dragon [Zephyr], this ti his horse [Brad]
[Brad] is a crier than nor on the Deed to taurd's steed Due to its nature as a ic beast, it looked very different than any other horses
Behind hiion] They havefrom their fluidtired
[Ares-saht, Vulcas seeion
[I don't ain]
[Thank you verythat Vulcas was already far away…
[Zekka]
When Ares turned around, a man had already stood before him
[My orders, have you checked it?]
[Yes Brittany Federation did hire a lot ofthat they'll be fighting against Arcadia empire, most of them immediately cancelled their contract What's left are the more unsavory type of h to know that they won't be able to hold their ground against Arcadia Empire's main forces About those who remained, I suppose they'll just run aainst them? How many are they anyways?]
[About 10,000 As Ares-sama expected, they've started to attack and plunder nearby villages]
[As expected of a merchant country To be able to pay that much only means that they have a lot of money to spend Even so, to think they'll let those uess they never intended to fight seriously They are reluctant to field their soldiers, but perhaps Redgear and Grants pressured them to do so If, by chance the otiating table But if the mercenaries couldn't, they could say that they were forced to fight, hence putting all the blame to the mercenaries… That's why they allowed those ruffians to plunder around How shallow]
After saying so, Ares looked around for a while before finally turning to Sigurd as standing behind him
[Apparently, we'll have to resort to soer arrive soon? Those ivable, but their employers are also vile people This time around we'll march in full force to wipe out all those trash]

The Brittany Federation was a country loathered and gained autono their history quite different from all other countries
As Ares said, the leaders of Brittany never really wanted to fight in the war They are merchants after all Every action has to benefit theathered up all their soldiers together… it still won't be enough to coest power in the continent
However, with Redgear and Grants being their biggest business partners, in addition to the long history of aiding each other, they couldn't just stay still when the two countries decided to go to war
Pretending that they're forced to participate in the war, as well as forcing the mercenaries to shoulder all responsibility, were just their ploy to ee out of the warthe that belief, they allowed the inally the upper echelon of the Brittany Federation…never really cared about the people of the lower classes They could afford being negligent about these people beco the victims of their decision
After a short period of rest, the er of the Brittany Federation's upper echelon actually arrived
Noticing the ht know of his thought
[They cae ison their own Need help』or so like that… nohat do you think we should do?]
[I suppose it's alright for Ares-sa that'll pretty much show our refusal]
[Nn~, that's fine as well… but if we kill him here the mercenaries will be alerted and escape It'll be troublesourd earlier that they'll have to resort to underhanded et to treat hie of the ar man instead]
[Ha? Then what about the letter?]
[I've prepared the reply that they wanted 『Will head there after defeating thealong that line…yep, he'll convey one off to deliver the reply, we'll begin our ht tap]

ArcadiBrittany border
The mercenaries freely attacked and plundered nearby towns
[Co the voice on one of his subordinates, the 'commander' turned his head around
[I'm in the middle of fun time here! Didn't I order you to not disturb me?]
Around him were several naked women Their eyes were empty and lifeless It's obvious that they've been violated by the mercenaries
