Chapter 237 - Report
"Are you some kind of slave trader, Ars?
"What are you talking about, Carlos-sama? I oppose slavery. I would never trade them."
"Eh, so those people that you brought back in large quantities from the taken territory weren't slaves. I thought for sure you were kidnapping people."
"No, no, Carlos-sama. We are just bringing back newly recruited members of the Barcan army to train them. They will work as soldiers for a few years."
"...... How could those knights accept such conditions? Normally, I would not have been willing to see the people of my territory taken away from me."
"Indeed, there were objections. They said they didn't want young men that were working in the fields to be taken away from them. They said that they were troubled by the fact that they'd agreed to surrender under such conditions from the beginning."
"... Of course. Anyhow, how did you deal with that?"
"Nnn, we decided at the beginning that as long as the number of people in the group was right, we wouldn't be strictly concerned about their age. Well, but we managed. Did you know that? It seems the Barcan army is surprisingly popular. In fact, most of the slots were filled by people who wanted to join on their own, so we didn't force anyone to join."
"Well, maybe so," Carlos said, "Your army is unbeaten, and above all, it seems to have a reputation for inflicting fewer casualties on its soldiers. If you also provide them with food, clothing and shelter, there will be many who will want to join you. I don't know what they will think after they enter."
"At a glance, this brings the number of troops that Barca can move to about 4,000. However, the Balts are not yet in control of the old territories, so they cannot move more than half of their forces for us."
"Will the hole that Baito left be filled properly? You entrusted him with command of that area, no?"
"Yeah. I think I will have Vargas and others do their best. I'm also thinking of using Payne, who joined us while I was traveling in Uruk. He's the grandson of Miriam, the old general, and the guy will be useful to raise the morale of the people of the old Uruk territory."
"Use him carefully. Make sure you tell him not to be like Harold Wong Xillia."
"Ah, I remember hearing that Harold is dead. I also learned that the House of Uruk has died out."
"Yes, Peter and his team have made sure of that. There are no survivors of the Uruk family. The Uruk Territory was defeated by the four armies that attacked it, including the Xillians. ......Before I go any further, don't provoke any territorial disputes unnecessarily, Ars. The Uruk Territory needs to be stabilized."
"I understand. But be careful, Carlos-sama. Wagner, who succeeded the Xillia family, may have a grudge against Fontana, even though we gave him a new name. Not only Wagner himself but also the knights around him may find it hard to accept their defeat completely."

"Of course, of course. Thank you for your hard work, you can go now."
After the capture of Uruk territory, I returned to Fontana City and met with Carlos.
With this battle, Uruk was officially destroyed.
The Einrad and Burmese forces that conquered the Uruk capital had eradicated the surviving Uruk family members.
It is a hideous story, but if they did not, there would surely be problems.
If someone gained Uruk's spells due to succession, it is conceivable that the House of Uruk could be reestablished from that person.
However, I did not know about that, since I went straight to the Amu Knight Territory after searching the archives.
I would have liked to see at least one maiden with fox ears before that happened.
There probably isn't another one in the world, though.
The land in Uruk Territory was acquired by four families: the Xillia family, the Barca family, the Einrad family, and the Burma family.
Incidentally, Peter was given permission to set up a new family, the Einrad family.
The original Xillia family took about 40% of the territory, we cut off about 30% on the mountainous side, and the Einrad and Burma families shared the remainder.
In the meantime, until the land is stabilized, Barca, Einrad, and Burma will keep an eye on the Xillia family led by Wagner.
Wagner should not be able to move quickly if he tries.
I quickly reported to Carlos and decided to do what I wanted to do.
I headed to Barcania, in the Barca Knight Territory, my own territory, and conduct new research together with Gran.
