In response to Gaius's question, Carmis answered with a grueling face.
"It was a demand for a truce"
"I know that. I'm listening to it."
"I guess. Well, I'm not familiar with the details, but Lennon told me... that he was threatened."
Gaius looked at Carmis with amazement.
"Threatened? Is Lowenglin in Dallas?... No, that's hard to think of... or vice versa. The national power of Lowenglin is more than double that of Dallas. Until now, the balance between the three countries had been preserved by geopolitical superiority, as it was dressed to sandwich Lowenglin from east to west, with Raydam of the same national power as Dallas, but since the Battle of Esta had drastically shredded Raydam's national power, Lowenglin should also have been able to deploy a two-fronted operation against both countries. If there's any material that Roenglin threatens Dallas, it shouldn't be on Dallas' side."
After listening to Gaius' long and wide tongue, Carmis nodded loudly many times.
"Right. I'm sure you're right… but if you think about it normally."
"... you mean you had an unusual threat material?
"Yes."
"What's that?
Then, to Gaius's inquiry, Carmis spread his hands and squeezed his shoulders.
I don't know.
"Hey, don't be ridiculous, okay?
"I'm not kidding. I don't know exactly what the ingredients are. Just..."
"Don't rush it like that. As a matter of fact, Master Lennon has another man called One Arm. The man specializes in intelligence when it comes to Libor, who used to bring incredible information about Dallas."
Carmis asked Gaius how he would react there once the words were separated.
Then Gaius looked scared and found it directly in front of him, so Carmis rushed to move on.
"That information... a village called Bath, near Tabe, the old capital of Dallas, disappeared overnight..."
Then Gaius dismissed Carmis' words by his own cry.
"Bath!!"
"... don't surprise me... not at all..."
"Hey Karmis! So the disappearance of Bath Village has something to do with the threat?
"... oh, probably... but you, how do you know about the Bath Village disappearance case?
"I don't care about that. That envoy brought up the Bath Village thing, didn't he?
"No, the envoy clearly didn't seem to give the name of Bath Village. So this is just a guess... but the envoy said... that Dallas has a secret weapon."
"... that secret weapon and the others turned Bath Village into a true circle lake overnight, huh?
"Probably. The Lowenglin leaders below the Pope also seem to have been pinned for hearing about the disappearance of Bath Village, saying it was a secret weapon. So we agreed to a truce."
Once Gaius exhaled loudly, he thought with a serious look that was no more.
