Day 25th, 2th Months, the Year 2813, Western Continent Calendar: (Wortenia Peninsula 2)

”Depart!”

A wo her horse at the front of the arh

Following her voice, a group of about 300 people goes through the north gate of Epiroz city and headed toward the Wortenia Peninsula

It was a very soleht

Merchants and coh by the streets would stopped their feet silently as they watched the army to passed by

No one opened their mouth

Rather than wanted to cheer, they felt like being pressured by such sight

The equipe impression to the people who saw them

All black

Under their leather armors, neither shi+rts nor shoes, even their swords sheaths and spears handle are pitch black

Even the harness metal was also painted black

Only their horse color not all black, nevertheless the sight was very unusual

And the flag they had carried also made people unable to avert their eyes away

A sword on a black background And two golden snakes coiled itself around the sword

The snakes' eyes were sewn red, giving an inti

If it was used separately then it won't be unusual

However, they had used all of that elele coat of arms

For all that, the figure of those people was able to bind the heart of the people atched them

It was as if they are people of darkness that just came out from the depths of the abyss, that was the iot from such scene -

”I see, so she is one of that , her name is Lione I heard she have a career as a ood woman That is what I wanted to say, but Indeed, this looks nificent”

Frorey hair muttered those words

He was an old man with a mild expression

And it was also obvious that he's a wealthy man

On his fingers are jeweled rings, he also wore silk clothes And thebelly

”Father-in-law is such art, just like Yuria I don't think we should be worried about theh?”

Earl Salzberg as looking the same scene as the elderly man said those words with a somewhat amazed voice

In fact, he was already fed up with the old man reaction

Even his wife Yuria, urged him to be cautious toward the man named Mikoshi+ba Ryouma

It was also Yuria suggestion to hire some mercenaries and tasked them to infiltrate

The Earl thought by doing that it was overdoing it since he could just be killed by using the ar him to be cautious

She was very careful as if she feared that the Earl would fought against Mikoshi+ba Ryouma

However, from the point of view of the Earl, Ryouma's poas just like an ant After all, they don't have even a base

The Earl never regarded his wife's ability lightly, but he never understood why he had to be very careful around Ryouma

Such question begun to created soun to fill the Earl's heart

”Do you think so? Look at that, at first, those soldiers were anized movement, you know? Only a few month had passed since Baron Mikoshi+ba buy those slaves and started to educate the able to achieve this with just such a short a, to be honest, I felt fear after seeing this scene”

The old ment

With his ability to judge he was able to bring the Mistel fir to became the chairman of the business alliance

Such fact gives hi self-confidence

And froroup who left via the north gate looked like a threat

”How foolish Certainly, the weapon they had bought froood ones, but their soldiers are only mere mercenaries and a bunch of slaves I' was only a bluff Well, from the eyes of a father-in-laho had never seen battlefield, such shows ht be impressive”

After saying those words, Earl Salzberg turned his gaze toward the old man

The old man is the father of his wife

However, the Earl always looking down at the oldin front of him

Although there's the part where he still uses honorific to call the old man

Of course, the old e as a father-in-law, but even if he did that, the Earl would disregard it lightly That's why it eird for the old man to be that reserved toward his own son-in-law

Besides, for Earl Salzberg, Ryouma's army was not worth much consideration

Their numbers are only around 300 people

On top of that, it was organized by ether, if another noble were to hear it, they would without a doubt giving the same opinion

The only thing the Earl thought to be worth consideration was the all black clothes

But even with such appearance, in his eyes, it did notarmy

That's why the Earl cannot help it but directed his criticish such bluff -

”You ht say that But do you think men without leadershi+p would be able to move like that?”

Certainly, there was no disorder

Of course, it was also true that their numbers are only around 300, which made their commanders' order easier to reach

However, the old man thinks it was impossible for amateurs to perform such orderly march

Although the oldthat, he did not insist on his opinion

He seemed to understand the Earl obstinate nature

And toward such Earl, the old ht rather than directly denied the Earl, it was better for hi doubt

Such technique was actually an advanced negotiation technique

”Well, if they trained only to march for a few anized”

Because he was also a coht that soldiers cannot be made within just mere a few months -

Walked on the highhile in organized formation Just to make amateurs to did that would be required a lot of work

Further instructed are slaves children

Slaves children are like a living corpse, It would have been quite a laborious task to teach them

However, the oldsince it would just be ended up displeased the Earl more

Even if he said so, the Earl would not try to understand his words either

”Well, it was just some words from the amateur me, please don't mind it”

Hearing such words froently nodded his head and turned his body

”Well then, I will excuse myself now I have many works needed to be done Oh also, please visit the mansion once in a while It would be nice if we can eat dinner together with Yuria, don't you think so?”

”Indeed Then later”
