[Lone understood. - It doesn't matter, you don't have to take it personally, everything is under control. When you come back, we'll talk about it in detail. 】

Nicholas turned off the spell communication with Wei.

……

It has been three days since the Battle of Pure White ended.

Nicholas gave Wei the power to dispose of the prisoners of Elrios. The Okad soldiers will be amused when they receive the Elrios camp: more than 3,500 Errios soldiers who refused to go south to the Empire are honestly locked up in military tents by less than 400 guards. The 400 men were all elite soldiers who had volunteered to stay, loyal to the French State, and had no family to care about, even if Okade killed them in a fit of rage, they would not be afraid.

Wei gave these people the opportunity to choose their own "way out": they were temporarily imprisoned in the nearest Norwegian Consulate in Morcha, or they went to the pure white city to wait for their fate. They were treated the same as the troops of the Elrios Palace, who had to surrender due to a landslide when the Elrios army retreated. These people were also elite sergeants of Elrios, and Wei also respected them.

The "landslide" is the "small gift" of the Emperor of the Eternal Night.

In addition, the 3,500 troops that Wei was too lazy to take care of were sent back to the newly established large prisoner of war camp near the Pure White City through a large portal along with the prisoners of war who voluntarily returned to the Pure White City.

The surrender of the entire territory of Elrios has also entered the negotiation phase. The Gorgian consuls declared their obedience to the new Chief, while the consuls of Alcutas, Ryukipo, and Philori chose to abandon the city and go into hiding. About 60 percent of the Blue Sky mages in these four major territories resolutely left, showing that Erios still has deep roots in these regions.

Even Nicholas couldn't dig up every ordinary mage who was hiding.

The attitude of the Northland Territory is different. The youngest territory of Elrios seeks not to preserve its own Elrios traditions, but to revive its northern traditions prior to its incorporation into Elrios. After negotiating with the consuls, Nicholas agreed to their demand, that they have the same right to self-determination as the southern territories of Fedorovich and Willitas.

After the appointment of a new consul, things gradually became "calm". The vast majority of Elrios was nominally under the control of the new chief. The vacant official positions made the administration encounter some difficulties, but fortunately, the Lord of Yun Yong said that many unrestrained folk mages brought their disciples to join him, and some secondary positions were reduced, which barely maintained the normal operation of the major institutions.

Wei had wanted to propose that some of the positions that were only available to arcane spellcasters would now be open to ordinary people as well. After meeting with a few of the new consuls, almost all of whom were depressed and hoping that the new lord would come to power, and that he would have plenty of money to make money, he dismissed the idea for the time being.

It's not time yet...... He thought silently.

Okade is reorganizing the roster of Franco-State soldiers who have fled to the Empire and tracking down their relatives. Under this pretext, Okadian officers with soldiers appeared in the major cities of Elrios.

Thankfully, Okad doesn't seem to have any intention of directly attacking their family for the time being. Even officials whose siblings or children fled to the empire were not expelled as long as they chose to serve the new chief. Of course, new recruits are subject to a relatively high level of scrutiny.

Many people know it in their hearts.

At least half of the Elrios - did not succumb to Nicholas and Sham. This is far from the end of the war, but the beginning.

Peace, but a brief truce.

----------

Large prisoner of war camps.

In the evening, Alison returned to her barracks.

More than half of spring has passed, but the land of Elrios has not yet shown signs of rain. In previous years, Blue Ocean mages had already started to use weather-changing spells to alleviate the drought, but now, at least in the Pure White City, no one was thinking about such a "boring" thing.

The day after the Battle of Pure White, a female priest healed Alison's injuries. A day later, she was taken into the new prisoner-of-war camp. Her clinical luck wasn't so good, and the man wailed all night, taking his last breath at dawn.

Allison felt like she knew why she was being given special care. She understood how female captives were treated in wartime.

To her surprise, she was "invited" into the barracks of the prisoner of war camp under the watchful eye of two Okad female soldiers. The prisoner of war camp was established on the former Elrios barracks, and Allison was given a two-person room for the junior officers, even larger than the barracks she had stayed in before she was a prisoner.

She was locked up in her room for the whole day. At dusk, she was taken to the cafeteria for dinner. She saw Yingjia in the crowd, as well as many classmates whose names she couldn't name. An Okadian officer announced that starting tomorrow all would be subject to a certain level of hard labor, with male captives to assist in carrying the stones and timber needed to repair the city, and female captives only to be involved in cooking and washing in the camp.

Alison surreptitiously estimated the number of people in the cafeteria—the POW camp could hold at least three times as many people. Looking at the big black tent that had just been erected in the distance, Allison suddenly understood that Okad was not so "polite" to everyone.

……

In the room, Alison's only roommate is throwing a tantrum. The short-haired female soldier loudly protested the quality of the food during the meal, only to be forcibly brought back from the cafeteria by Soldier Okard to reflect on it. After being warned of confinement, she obediently shut up in front of the Okadians, and had to go back to her room and throw things.

According to her own introduction, she was originally in the camp of Elrios, but because of a fight with the Imperial soldiers who lived with her, she was mercilessly abandoned when the army retreated to the Empire.

Alison was noncommittal. In the midst of the small commotion caused by this roommate, Alison gets the opportunity to talk to the next table. It was a sturdy Errios soldier, and his whole person exuded a silent and capable temperament. In a few words, he explained what was really going on on the frontier.

Obviously, his roommate is the one he said he was unwilling to continue fighting, and as a result, he was abandoned by the army.

Ha! Does she think she is the eldest lady from somewhere? Even if it is, even the princess of the empire is on the front line to fight bloodily, what are you?

Out of politeness, Alison decided not to say a word. But Allison's silence only made the man more and more excited.

Finally, after the "mage's daughter" began to muttered that the "stubborn" person "deserved to die", Alison couldn't hold back anymore. She can tolerate the other party's babbling and stupidity, but she can't forgive a coward for insulting the heroic dead.

Allison's best friend, Hannah, died in the Battle of White.

Alison Howe stood up. Before the other party could react, her fist hit the other person's face.

At this moment, Alison and Natasha, a female soldier of the empire thousands of miles away, understood each other......

The two got into a fight.

You don't have to show mercy, Allison said to herself. Soon, she pressed the other person to the ground and beckoned her face like a rain of fists. Screaming and screaming.

This is the second time in three days that the poor female soldier with short hair has been treated like this. Even Natasha and Allison don't remember her name: why bother remembering the name of a fly? At best, it's just buzzing.

Suddenly—

The locked door to the room opened. Allison looked back.

A girl in a white robe walked into the room, accompanied by a guard. Seeing the mess in the room, she frowned, but then she relaxed again.

"President Wendy?" Allison gave a look of incredulity.
