"I hope that the right to capture the captives will be given to us. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lei Lai translated the other party's words to Lu Cao, the first rank of Jianjun. In terms of language, since Itami alone couldn't translate smoothly, he still needed Relai's help.

"We understand that labor is a necessary condition for Itarica's revival. While this is your habit, you still want to treat them humanely. In order to gather intelligence, we only need to select three or five captives to bring back. Please also agree to that. Jianjun nodded in an upright position.

"The word humanity is not very well understood・・・・・・・"

It's Lei Lai who works hard. Her face was expressionless, and she sweated on her forehead, trying to express this meaning.

According to her own understanding, she said, "Treat friends, relatives, and acquaintances like friends." But the other party frowned.

"My friends, relatives. How could it be possible to raid peaceful cities and villages, kill and plunder!"

"Well, let's just not be too cruel. Your contribution to this victory is great, and I will not hesitate to accept your request. ”

Then understanding is okay. ”

I interjected, but where is this place and what are you doing?

Pinna hurriedly mobilized her knowledge and explanatory power to confirm the current situation.

Also Who is this man?

Standing in front of Pinna was a man in the prime of life with a fighter-type body. Although this man is also dressed in green, his temperament is obviously different from that of a soldier.

Although his waist and abdomen are fat, judging from the folds engraved on his forehead, he should be a weathered man. Seeing that this man shows his attitude in a dignified manner, he should have the corresponding self-confidence. That's the self-confidence that has been accumulated for a long time, and it is the self-confidence that Pinna can't ask for.

He seems to be the commander of the Self-Defense Forces. ’

Sensing this, Pinna, as the vicar lord of the Earl's house, sat wearily in her chair. The Countess of Folmar next to her also sat between the butler and the chief maid.

It was Hamilton who was speaking. Negotiate with them, express opinions, and it is Pinna herself who makes the decision.

Pinna carefully chose her words, trying to confirm the situation. But what kind of agreement should be made on this occasion?

Summoning Hamilton next to him with his fingers, Hamilton, who was bandaged on his forehead and all over his body, came over.

"Ah, Your Highness Princess, have you come to your senses, I'm worried. ”

"Sorry to worry you. ”

Next, we will reconfirm the contents of the previous decision.

"Hmph. Well, I would like to confirm the conditions again. ”

Hamilton enumerates the conditions as if reading aloud.

"First, the Self-Defense Forces will select any three to five prisoners from this battle to bring back. These prisoners, as well as the rights acquired by them, belong to the SDF. In addition, the Earl of Formar's family and the Empire will not treat the rest of the captives excessively.

Second, as a token of gratitude to the Earl of Volma and the Imperial Princess, Pina Golanda, will be responsible for ensuring the safety of Japanese envoys during their stay and exchange within the Empire. In addition, the number of envoys, the expenses of the stay, etc., were determined by agreement, but the earl's family and the imperial lady paid unconditionally for less than 100 swanny.

Thirdly, when the Self-Defense Forces and the Arnous Cooperative Living Group trade in the territory of Count Volmar in the future, all taxes such as customs duties, income taxes, and money exchange will be exempted.

Fourthly, after the above treaty comes into effect, the Self-Defense Forces led by the commander of the Ken Legion shall not take over the property of any earl's family or citizens, except for the prisoners in the agreement, and leave the county as soon as possible. However, small groups and the Arnous Cooperative Living Group were guaranteed freedom to travel within the territory due to their liaison mission with the Count's house.

Fifth, the agreement is valid for one year. If there is no objection between the parties, it will be deemed to be automatically renewed.

Miuyi, the Countess of Folma above

The oath of the Imperial Empress Pinna Golanda

The third day of the foggy month in the year 687 of the imperial calendar"

Hamilton finished reading the article on parchment and handed it to Pinna.

I read it several times, and it is not a loss. In other words, it can be regarded as a good condition. And the winner of the Self-Defense Forces did not claim any rights.

It was troublesome to take care of the envoys, and the cost of one hundred swanis was also painful, but they were all expenses within the necessary range. With only so much money, it can be said that it has been earned.

Hamilton also worked hard.

Pinna is still confident in her ability to see people, but Hamilton Uno Rowe's ability to negotiate is still more than she expected. But how do you make an enemy with overwhelming combat power readily give up the right to win? Do you use magic, or do you use a woman's weapon to negotiate?

In any case, if the Foreign Affairs Bureau knew about it, it would definitely dig her up. For the Order, her bargaining skills are also valuable.

With this in mind, Pinna signed her name at the end of the parchment and stamped it with a ring stamp on the wax.

In the next seat, the courteous Count Miu Yi also signed and sealed.

Hamilton stood in front of Jian Jun and handed out the parchment.

After Lei Lai and Du Jia read and confirmed, Jian Jun also signed his name in Chinese characters.

Lori turned her head to glance at her unhappy face for some reason, and Itami didn't know why her right eye was black and she stood dumbfounded.

The agreement shall be made in duplicate.

When it came time to make the second part, the first one went back to Pinna.

When I wanted to see what was written, Jianjun's signature came into view. Looking at the words there, it feels so magnificent.

The entente came into effect immediately, and the 401 squadron flew back.

The residents, who were busy dealing with the post-war process, stopped what they were doing for a while and looked at the sky, waving their hats until they couldn't see it.

Leilai, Durja, and Lori go to the merchant Ryuta clan to have a discussion.

It is very profitable to negotiate business with privileged merchants who do not have to pay taxes, so merchants are willing to come closer. What's more, under the introduction of Mr. Cato, who has been an acquaintance for a long time, the negotiation is very simple.

Two hundred dragon scales were successfully traded for four thousand silver Denali coins and two hundred gold ingu coins.

However, it was really impossible to take out 4,000 silver coins in cash, and although Ryuda also tried to find a way, the Earl of Formar had just experienced a thief's war, and Itarica's trading offices were stagnant. In addition, the currency of the empire and the surrounding areas was not sufficient, and it was not easy to come up with a thousand silver coins.

As a result, of the remaining 3,000 silver coins, 2,000 were paid in the form of money orders, and another 1,000 were taken as discounts. But instead, Lelai asked Ryu for one more thing.

It is to collect relevant information in the local market and investigate the prices of related items in as much detail as possible.

For this request, Ryuda also laughed.

Unlike the petty business of ordinary citizens, information about the price of the merchant is an important weapon in the negotiation of prices, and there is no merchant who asks such a straightforward question, nor does he answer honestly.

But since Leilai is a layman, he doesn't know what things have and what price points. It is precisely because I don't know that I want to gather intelligence, but on a larger scale, and at a cost.

"A thousand silver coins~"

No one has ever paid such a large amount of money for information before, and if you have the price, it is already a sale. And the quality of the goods is quite good.

In this way, Ryudo promised to do his best to gather relevant information from all directions.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Along the road to the west, there was a cavalry regiment running with all its might to get to Itarica.

Flags drawn from red, yellow, and white roses are covered with heads, and the sound of horses' hooves is constantly ringing under their feet.

Brightly decorated cuirass and helmets reflected the golden and silver light, and fluttering banners and cavalry spears rushed forward like a glutton.

Especially the knights at the forefront.

A female knight with long blond hair fluttering in the wind and a gorgeously armed woman whipping her riding black horse. His horse suffered in silence, and the muscles on his feet slammed on the ground.

The scenery in front of the female knight passed quickly, but it was still too slow, not fast enough. I couldn't help but increase the strength of holding the reins, and the force of the whipping also increased.

"Poses, you're too fast!"

The woman, who made a calm and steady voice, caught up with the knight at the front.

Caught up from behind was a short-haired female knight riding a white horse. Behind her was the cavalry regiment, which had opened a considerable distance.

The female knight, known as Poseth, replied in a voice like a silver bell

"That's still too slow!

"But your horse won't be able to stand it, and some people will start to fall behind, so even if you reach your destination, you won't be able to fight!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, the destination is Itarica, and those who have fallen behind will be able to catch up later, and time is of the essence now!"

"But!"

"Even if only a few people arrive in the end, it is a way to fight with a few people. The most important thing now is to get there as soon as possible, even if it's just a little bit!"

Speaking of this, Penny Bead can't convince her anymore. I had to follow Poses and try to slow down as much as I could.

Poses reluctantly loosened the reins in her hand, and after running at a slightly reduced speed, she slightly reduced the distance between herself and the troops behind her.

"Penny Beads, can we make it?"

"No problem. There must be a way for the princess's words!"

"But ・・・・・・・・"

Poses had already done her best to suppress her uneasiness. The spirit was focused on the end of the street, where the horizon stretched ahead, and only a small dot of Itarica could be seen.

So the first thing to notice was Penny Bead.

"Huh?"

Something is approaching ahead.

Although it is the main artery of the Empire, it was also built a long time ago and exposed in the wilderness, and the road is not in good condition and very narrow, not wide enough for two carriages to meet, and if the cavalry continues to advance like this, it will definitely collide with each other.

In other words, what is coming from the front, it has been moving faster than expected, and it has a box-shaped appearance, and it is impossible to tell what it is from a distance, but it seems to be a carriage or something.

"Poses!!"

"I know ・・・・・"

"Look ahead!"

It wasn't until she heard Penny's accusation that she came to her senses, and Poses straightened up while smacking her tongue and tightened the reins on her hand.

Penny raised her left hand to stop the rear troops, while also pulling the reins on her hand to stop the horse.

The knights who followed up felt a little more relieved, and let the horses that were running like they were about to lose their breath slow down. At this time, both horses and men were panting and sweating like rain.

"Ahhh・・・・・・ that's a hindrance. Get them out of the way!"

Just as the knights in the rear received the order to remove the obstacles, Penny Bead ordered "Wait!" and stopped in place.

"They came from the direction of Itarica. Investigate them. I might be able to get some information. Thus persuaded Poses, and slowly walked forward.

――――Lens Transition――――

"I'm so sleepy!" Kurata ・・・・・・・," Itami, who was sitting in the car, yawned.

"That's inevitable, after all, it was hard work before・・・・・・・・"

When Itami heard this, he complained, "It's not just hard work, I'm tired ・・・・・・・."

"Oooh!!"

Suddenly, Kurata slammed on the brakes as if he had discovered something.

"What's wrong?!"

"It hurts!"

"Why did you stop all of a sudden?!"

Hearing the voices of three young girls behind him, Kurata reported to Itami, "Smoke ahead!"

"Why is it smoke again?"

"Uh・・・・・・" Picking up the binoculars and glancing at them, Itami muttered in a low voice, "Coming here?!"

"It's too dusty to see!"

"See!"

"Huh?

"It's the crown!"

"Oh・・・・・ what is ・・・・・・・ Crown?!Crown ?!!"

"Blonde!"

"Blonde?" Itami felt inexplicable, it seemed to be off topic, hey!

"It's straight spiral curls!"

"Straight spiral curls?!" Itami hurriedly leaned towards Kurata and held up his binoculars.

"Target!Blonde straight spiral curly hair・・・・・・ a men's beauty, ・・・・・・ many beauties in the back!!!"

"It's a rose pattern!"

"It's Rose!"

The women in the back seat of "・・・・・・・・" did not have a so-called telescope, so when they heard the conversation between Itami and Kurata, they were instantly speechless.

"Three-colored rose・・・・・・ is this what the princess is talking about?"

"I ・・・・・・"

"It's the first time I've seen straight spiral curls・・・・・・・

"Yellow roses for straight spiral curls and white roses for short hair on the sides・・・・・・ so?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, but they are indeed the knights that the princess is talking about, but because there is no radio, they don't know that the thieves in Itarica have been repulsed. The golden dragon eyes looked at the dust in the distance, although it could be guessed from the conversation between the two, but Eva's eyes saw it more clearly than Itami.

"And they seem to be trying to investigate what we look like. ”

"Investigation?!"
