436 434 Executives (1/2)

Eliante says he has a further chance to fight. When Corberto urged ahead, Eliante called his men and instructed them to bring someone in.

Less than five minutes later, the guilder immediately brings the person back. He's a low-height good guy.

”Yaya, you think you're calling me? What exactly is it for?

”Fran, Colbert. This man is Faith. Be an adventurer, a member of the Bandit Alliance.”

”What?”

Colbert stares at Faith with surprised eyes. Faith is also lightly torn apart from her own qualities and her eyes are open.

”... Dear Eliante. Yeah, and when it's easy for me to say it, I sometimes have a lot of trouble with it?

”Shut up. I'm in a hurry now. Shut up.”

”... ha”

Somewhat, but Eliante's ill mood is ongoing. He was hit with a murderous gaze, and Faith sighed and shut up. Sounds like you're struggling.

Eliante explained it to me, but it seems Faith is also a watchdog for the Adventurer Guild and a connector to the Bandit Guild.

Even if there is an implicit rule that we do not become involved in each other's representation, it is impossible to have any more relationship at all than to operate in the King's capital.

So, they have a few people who belong to both guilds like Face, and at least one of them resides in the guild. Most importantly, the traits are known only to the upper echelons of the Adventurer Alliance.

”It's an urgent case. Tell the executive to get together. Tell him that in some cases there will be noise in the king's capital. You'll already have an overview of the situation anyway, and I'll pass it on.”

”... ok. Are they the ones who make it out?

”It's your kid. Black Thunder Princess Fran. You've heard of him, haven't you?

”You know what? She... Ok. If it was her, the executive council wouldn't say no.”

What's that supposed to mean? Does that mean Fran's name is also known to the Bandit Guild? I met Calc, too, and maybe he passed it on in that relationship.

”Let's get this over with as soon as possible.”

I guess I found out from Eliante's attitude that it was a real emergency. Faith, in a token, left the room on a fast leg.

”Gilmouth. Can you trust a bandit guild or something?

”You can't trust me. But we should be able to work together only this time. Because even for them, the king's capital is a place they can't lose.”

Eliante nodded with a certain voice. Well, if that's what she is, I'm pretty sure.

”But when I explained earlier, it was like Miss Fran was the only one going to the Bandit Guild?

”'Cause I can't leave here”

”No, you'd have me, wouldn't you?

”Corbelt. I need you to go, too. If we do well, we might be able to increase our strength even more.”

”What?”

”Mercenary Corps: Tentacles and Crusts. You know what? A handful of elite mercenaries made up of half-wormers.”

”No. I don't know. But the mercenaries are in the king's capital? That's unusual.”

Apparently, regular mercenary regiments cross the battlefield, so they're near the border most of the time. I guess it's because it's often along the border that sets the stage for battle.

Therefore, it is very rare to have that unit in an inland area, like Wang Du, that has nothing to do with the war. They usually have a few liaison officers and rear support personnel, to the extent that they have a base.

”My acquaintance leads me, so I should be able to see enough executives with references. The rest depends on your negotiation. They have rules about not taking their kids to the battlefield, so Colbert's better suited to negotiating than Fran.”

”That's true! I mean, I'm the mercenary corps. You mean you can draw your own power from the Bandit Guild.”

”Yes.”

There's no better way for Eliante than to gather adventurers... Tell Fran to negotiate with the Bandit Guild? You'll never make it. Is it time to split up again?
