Chapter 222: 225

Chapter 225 - Wagner

"I am sorry, Barca-sama. They acted on their own without any notice. However, I am also responsible for not maintaining a peaceful environment. If you are going to punish them, please do so to me as well."

"...... In other words, this Titan's attack on our Barca army was the unilateral action of a few knights of the Xillia family, and no one else knew about it. Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes. That is correct, sir. I hope that you are forgiving enough to spare our lives."

"Then what about your father, Harold-dono? This happened on the night that he went to persuade the Head of the Uruk House. I can't shake the suspicion that he might have ordered it."

"N-never such a thing. My father is not the kind of man who would do that. He purely went to convince the Head of Uruk because he is loyal and wishes to bring no more damage to it, not with the intention to be able to harm Barca-sama!"

　After a night of sleep, I finished my meal.

　And now I'm dealing with the aftermath of last night.

　I've already detained all the knights who were in Xillia City, and am listening to what they have to say.

　Harold, the head of the Xillia family, is on his way to Uruk Head with some escorts.

　In other words, there is no one in charge of Xillia City at the moment.

　So I had to talk to the next most important person, who turned out to be Harold's first child.

　Wagner was thirteen years old, still a young boy.

　He said that he was 'responsible,' for not realizing but I wondered how he was going to take responsibility.

　Is he thinking of giving his life for the sake of everyone else?

　Emotionally, I want to get rid of everyone related to the Xillia family, because I don't know what they'll do next.

　However, it is difficult to make a decision about that.

　At least nominally, the Barca forces had come to the Uruk territory in response to the Xillia family's request for help.

　If we execute all the knights, including Wagner, who is the prospective next Head of the Xillia family, the day after we arrive there without Harold, we might be seen as the bad guys.

　The fact that the attack on Thanatos ended without causing any damage to us might make people think that the Barca forces came here to deceive the Xillia family from the beginning, which is not true.

　The problem was that the cause for this would be lost.

"Barca-sama, I have a request. May I speak to your lordship?"

"What is it, Wagner?"

"I have no doubt that my father will succeed in persuading the House of Uruk, but if he does not succeed, I would like you to use my Xillia family in the war against Uruk. I will definitely become your underling in the battle. The entire Xillia family will make up for the blunder of those knights running amok this time."

"Wagner, are you able to command an army?"

"Yes, sir. Please give us one last chance."

"All right, all right. But there are some conditions you must accept."

"What kind of conditions, Barca-sama?"

"One: the treatment of the knights who masterminded the attack. I'll give them a chance to fight Thanatos the Titan. If they win against him, this matter will be dropped."

"... They will fight against a Titan?!"

"Yes. We, Barca, fought him yesterday. It's not like humans can never win against the Titans. Isn't that right?"

"... I understand, Barca-sama."

"Next is how to deal with the Xillia knights. At first, it was only going to be Harold-dono's family, but I'm going to hold everyone accountable for this case. The families of all the Xillian knights will also be transferred to Fontana. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, that's really ......"

"I see. If you don't like it, we have more options. I'll give them an equal opportunity. If they also fight Thanatos and win, that condition about their families will become irrelevant."

"I'll explain it to them, I will!"

"Ok. Do not worry. Barca will not be neglecting the Xillia family. I promise you that we will make sure that those who are transferred to Fontana will not be harmed or taken advantage of."

"Thank you very much! On behalf of all of Xillia, I would like to thank you for your kindness, Barca-sama!"

"Just so you know, there won't be a next time, Wagner."

"Yes, of course. I understand."

　This will have to do for now.

　At first, I thought about eradicating them, but after a night's sleep, I think I've cooled down.

　The Xillia family is in a position as one of the knights under the Uruk family, but they are able to gather about 2000 men as forces.

　If they are willing to fight desperately for us, then let them do their best.

　In addition, the Barca army, which had only come to the rescue, was now able to take the initiative against the Xillia family. We have made them submit.

　It could be said that we practically took possession of the Xillia Territory without causing much damage.

　I'm going to use them to my heart's content.

　I thought this while watching the knights who were the masterminds use [Foxification] and head towards Thanatos, ultimately getting blown away.
