Is there anything I can do for you?

"Mr. Alphonse, we're going to look over there."

"Yes, thank you. If you have something good, bring it to me first."

Roger that.

The battle in Purge City is over.

With the defeat of the Lord of the Purges, such as Gweod and Graham, the fighting is over and we are now in a building in the heart of the city.

It seems to be a treasure trove in this city.

We, the Balkan mercenaries, who came to the large warehouses standing side by side, decided to find treasure here.

Open the heavy door and enter the warehouse.

Dust danced from the back of the door that opened with a loud noise, and everyone coughed and waited inside.

There were many shelves there, and there were various items on the shelves.

"What is this?"

"Looks like there's a lot of pottery here.There seems to be a lot of pots and water that you don't drink. "

"... is this expensive, Zen?"

"I wouldn't know.I'm from a farm.But what about Captain Alphonse?Can't you be so familiar with these things? "

"Mm-hmm. I know it's kind of good to make.But I don't know exactly how much it's worth.Shall I see here later?I can't take the pottery home. "

"Now, let's open the next warehouse.I hope there's something good in it next. "

After winning the battle in Purge City, we open the treasure chest one after the other and look inside.

Looks like Walter and his team found the armory on the way.

There were some pretty good weapons stored there.

Unlike pottery, weapons are good.

Because it can be used as a practical item rather than an art item.

Besides, we mercenaries can get around to some extent with the weapons we always use.

Well, if you choose a sword without knowing, you'll be right first.

So I decided to let the mercenaries take the weapons from the armory home of their choice.

Looks like he was pretty happy about it.

Everyone is saying this, choosing a weapon for their thoughts and putting it on their hips.

"Does Captain Alphonse need to go to the armory?"

"Nh, I'm fine. I have enough good weapons.Oh, my warehouse is pretty close, too.There's a golden one. "

"Oh, this is amazing.Isn't it money?Looks like there's silver over there. "

I left the armory to everyone, and when I looked at the final warehouse, it was full of gold and silver treasures.

Gold, silver, jewelry, etc. are arranged narrowly on the shelf.

These are worth looking at anyway.

I'll take this.

That's what I decided. I packed the treasures from this treasure trove into magic bags one after another.

"But, okay, I'm doing this."

"Hmm? Something wrong?"

"No, I guess so. Commander Alphonse had a lot of reason to say, but after all, he entered Purge City on his own.Could Senator Banaj tell you a lot later? "

"After all, it will be okay because there is a great cause to protect the country.And just in case, I have a hand. "

Really? What kind of hand did you hit? "

"I heard rumors. A large army is gathering in Purge City, and it's moving towards Orient Country.We fought alone in a handful to prevent it.Whatever you praise, you don't deserve to complain. "

"Heh, are you spreading such rumors?Oh, I see. You must have used the encryption on that bracelet.So, Laura-san is spreading such rumors. "

"That's good, Zen. That's a little different.There is no doubt that it was Orient Country that spread the rumor.But it's not just that city country.Many villages in Orient Country should be able to handle this rumor by now. "

"... in the village? Perhaps you're spreading rumors to the people who went to the village security work?"

"That's right. It's more credible to have a story spread everywhere than to have a rumor spread somewhere.There are Vulcan mercenary regiment mercenaries scattered throughout the Orient.We have to use it well. "

Apparently Zen is concerned about the battle between this city and the Barca Mercenaries.

They are worried about whether there are complaints from the Orient National Assembly or not.

However, we had already addressed that concern.

It was a way of spreading rumors in villages in Orient Country.

I have already instructed Eye to use tracking birds and the like to move into action in each village.

Typically, various kinds of information spread through people's mouths.

If it's information outside of where I live, I often hear from travelers and merchants.

Basically the same goes for the congressmen.

Maybe there's no way we can exchange long-range information in an instant like the Vulcan Mercenaries.

That's why I took advantage of the slowness of the transmission to justify my actions.

This Purge City has an army targeting Orient Country, and we decided to create circumstantial evidence that the Balkan mercenaries fought to defeat it.

That's why I decided to spread the word everywhere.

It is not only within one city state with a council, but also in other villages.

Similar stories everywhere make information truthful.

This was what I had in mind when I took this job from Banaj.

I felt that sending mercenaries to villages in Orient Country would make it easier to manipulate information.

It's probably a method of manipulating public opinion.

It seems that Mr. Ars was using this method as well.

Do it this time.

If this works, we may still be able to manipulate and guide information in the Orient country to some extent in the future.

How well does it work?

Well, you can fail.

If you say anything, you can just give me the golden one I got here and ask.

Thus, the Balkan mercenaries who invaded Purge City acquired the treasure and decided to occupy the city.
