C489: Postwar Management
The Elysian Empire has retreated, and Marquis Deer Grafful is dead. Although the threat was not completely eliminated, the allied forces were disbanded and returned to their respective countries due to exhaustion and fatigue.
We were about to head for the Kingdom of Meltaria, where our friends were.
The representative of the Gladiator Army wants to meet Yuta-dono of the Iron Knights.
Is it because of Alana? I don't know the reason but since they helped us I have no choice but to meet with her.
I told her I would meet with her and asked her to let me through to the simple lodging house.
My name is Geneige, representative of the Gladiator Army. I am honored to meet the esteemed Yuta-sama."
To my surprise, Geneige was a soft-spoken woman. She was dressed neatly, so I was surprised to see someone who was the complete opposite of a gladiator.
Respect isnot such a big deal for me."
"What are you talking about? "I still get excited when I think back to that legendary match with the Gladiator King. That match is now a standard topic of conversation among gladiators at the drinking table.
I see.
I was embarrassed because I was not used to being praised in such a way.
I hear you have some business with me.
I was embarrassed and quickly changed the subject to the main topic.
As a representative of the gladiators, I have been asked by many gladiators and I wanted to ask you to confirm whether or not this is a realistic possibility.
"Realistic? Is it something I can judge?
I thought it was only because you are the leader of the Iron Knight, Yuta-sama, that you could make such a judgment.
Its a fact that I often forget but I am indeed the leader of the Iron Knights.
So what is it you want me to judge?
"It's a group job."
What?
I'll tell you straight to the point. Many gladiators wish to join the Iron Knights.
I was surprised since I had never thought she would ask that.
Certainly, it is not surprising that there are people who want to join a mercenary group but I never thought they would want to join the Iron Knights.
I was aware that we were an unknown group, but I guess that means that we have become a little famous.
How many people want to join?
About a hundred.
A hundred?
Of course, you can have them go through a test and so on. Can you think positively about it?
We don't pay that much, do we? It's also quite dangerous and I don't recommend it.
I am not that concerned about how I will be treated since I made this decision because I admire Yuta-sama and Alana-sama, the two riders who fought with me in this battle.
I'll talk to our manager so give me a minute."
I can't make a decision without Jean's opinion since he is the one who manages the money so I decided to contact Jean.
