The Story of Hero Among Heroes ~The Founding Chronicles of Arestia Chapter 19

s.h.i.+on Tristan’s Story of the past Part 3 – Slave War

I headed northwest where the territory of Marquis Morlot was located .

When I first told my idea to sir Kasim, he was wide eyed in amazement . But then he laughed .

[Well said . Then please do as you like . ]

That’s all he said .

Boarding the s.h.i.+p… . . for the first time after several years, my mind was filled with thoughts of my hometown .

=====
◆

My destination… . was Baronet Parom’s territory which was the rebel’s headquarters . Of course, I inevitably met with my brother .

[Older brother……it’s been a long time… . ]

Meeting Luke again for the first time after several years… . . his face hardened . I had ditched my responsibility as the first son, skimped swordsmans.h.i.+p and lived only by reading books . Thinking back about how I was the only one who got to study at the Imperial academy, I couldn’t deny that I did have some feeling of guilt .

[Luke……it’s been hard on you . ]

[No, it’s nothing compared to the hards.h.i.+p that the people experienced . ]

Luke’s att.i.tude softened . We smiled to each other . But there was no time to rekindle our brotherhood . He’s a clientele, and I’m here to solve his predicament .
Brought by Luke, alongside other barons and baronets, we entered the room of the leaders .

There were 5 clans that caused the rebellion this time . The only baron among them, Baron Parom was the mastermind behind the rebellion .

I was an acquainted with Baron Parom before .
When he was still a baronet, he used to comfort me when I was troubled with something… . . it’s small things, but calming nonetheless .

HIm becoming the mastermind… . . I could only imagine what have driven him to this situation .

[Oh… . to think that it’ll be you who will come on behalf of Kasim-sama……fate is truly strange… . . ]

Baron Parom let out a little laugh . But I noticed that he had a subservient look in his eyes . It’s hard to believe that he’s the mastermind behind this rebellion . Comparing him to the figure of his past……he looked like a different person now .

[Why did you do something like this… . could you please tell me the reason?]

Baron Parom curled his eyebrows to my question… . then began explaining .

=====
◆

It appear that all of this started due to Marquis Morlot himself .

This year, the northwestern part of Arcadia Empire kept having irregular weather, which in turn caused bad crops . Under that circ.u.mstance, the marquis actually raise the annual tax and procure materials to build his personal mansion . He also leeched on the other aristocrats who reside on the northwestern area .

[The citizens had begun to starve . I heard the starvation was even worse for the slave servants… . it’s like h.e.l.l on earth . ]

Baron Parom then went to the Marquis to appeal for the plight of the people . But what he saw there… . . was even more corpses of people dying from hunger . And only his mansion and lands remained fertile .

[I voiced the complaints and plight of the people . But his answer……was not what I expected… . . ]

Marquis Morlot issued an order for Baron Parom to send his daughter, and as many women as possible to work as his slave servants .

[My family is not a souvenir… . ]

Tears dropped from Baron Parom’s eyes when he said that .

[I knew that the whole area was suffering the same . I heard of how Marquis Morlot can be very unreasonable . Even if I reported this to the capital, it’ll require power to crush the opposition . And so… . I gathered the like-minded clans around the area . ]

[Brother… . . ]

Luke resumed the talking after Baron Parom was unable to endure his feelings and collapsed . .

[It’s not only Parom territory . Tristan clan’s territory is also like h.e.l.l… . . would you please lend us a hand… . . ?]

I observed Luke for a while . He had wrinkles on his forehead which didn’t exist before… . probably due to a lot of hards.h.i.+ps . After looking at the situation some more, I opened my eyes and replied .

[My only condition is for all of you to follow my instruction unconditionally . If all of you can do so, then I will surely lead us to victory . Will you agree to that?]

And naturally…there was none who opposed to my condition .

=====
◆

My aim this time was quite simple .
Isolate the Marquis capital, and take his head .

[First of all, let’s increase the number of our forces . ]

[No, it’s difficult to increase the number as of now… . ]

[Set the slave servants free . I’ll handle the rest . ]

Many of those slaves were beastmen and long eared elves . Both are actually highly capable of fighting . A strong troops can be formed by recruiting them .

However, Baron Parom shook his head upon hearing it .

[…… . but how would the church think about that… . . ]

[Did the church have anything to do with all og this?]

[………… . ]

Presently, the church is enforcing the discrimination against the demi-human races . The church has a particularly huge influence in the empire, so it’s hard to go against them .

Certainly it would enrage the church if we do it in the open . But our first priority now is too survive .

[Clean up the problem in front of you first . We’ll keep the matter of the demi-humans for later . ]

I resumed the talking .

[The situation will greatly s.h.i.+ft if we release the demi-humans free . So it must be well within our target . ]

Starting from the 5 territories, I decided to release the slave servants and incorporate them into the army . I even advertised it on neighboring town and cities .
That’s not all . I also spreaded some rumours regarding Marquis Morlot to the public .

Tax will continue to rise starting from now .

If you won’t obey, your whole family will be killed .

If the slaves rebelled, they will receive similar punishment .

If they don’t rise up now, there won’t be any tomorrow for them .

A few days later, a lot of people contacted me wanting to join the rebellion . And, at the same time, the city officials said that they were overwhelmed by the momentum of people who started to enter the camp one after another .

Listening to this news, Baron Parom and Luke were surprised .

[No way… . . in less than a month, to become this great of a scale… . . ]

[It’s all thanks to Marquis Morlot’s past deeds . This is even more than I expected . ]

I laughed after saying so .
Yes, it was more than I expected . Many clans under the Marquis and towns under his rule decided to switch sides . This way, the fire I started began to burn steadily, and it’s only about time for it to spread to the whole northwestern area .

=====
◆

[Southwest of Tyrol, we’ll commence the decisive battle here at the swamp area . ]

Saying that, I explained the strategy while pointing to the map with a fan .
After listening to me, I noticed that the aristocrats who were present at the military council sighed .

[Pardon me but will you hear me out a little?]

[Pardon me but will you hear me out a little?]

One aristocrat raised the question .

[Certainly you strategy is amazing . But there is only Marquis Capital on the northwest . He still have a lot of clans and towns under his rule…… would it be better to take our time and act carefully?]

The tone was calm, but the accusation that lies inside his words was evident .

[Attacking thoroughly… . it does sound good . Less people will die that way, we might really be able to do it . ]

[Then… . ]

[However, time is not on our side . If we wait for too long, the empire regular army will soon arrive here . If the『Mad Prince』or『Tiger of Saxon』was the one who leads the subjugation army, it’ll be no doubt that the whole northwest area will end up charred . ]

Listening to my reasoning, all of them turned pale .

[Therefore, we’ll have to end this war decisively, then try to stabilize the land as soon as possible . We’ll have to manage somehow . ]

To that, the aristocrat who raised the question earlier spoke once more .

[In that case, I have one more question . What about using cavalry?]

[Since it’s Baron Descartes, I don’t have any complaints!]

[I will just follow!]

The young aristocrats became excited . Perhaps they were all on Descartes’ side . However . It was Baron Parom who came to s.h.i.+eld me .

[Lord Descartes . You are certainly young and brave… . but this time we have agreed to follow Tristan’s instruction…]

All of them were noticeably disgusted being doused like that .
They then started to raise their voice .

[Really now, what a general! He didn’t even listen to our suggestions while devising strategies . ]

The contempt was obvious in each word .

[Well, that’s fine . But Tristan-dono, have you decided to leave out the most important thing to everyone here? Will you be able to keep your end of bargain?]

[Yes, of course . I will keep my promise, brave Descartes . ]

Hearing my answer, he nodded and left the military council .

=====
◆

The council is over . All other aristocrats had left, leaving only Luke, Baron Parom and me alone .

[Although many answered to our call, why is it really hard to put everyone together… . . ]

Baron Parom seemed to about to cry .

[But older brother… . . are you sure you can fulfill that promise? There is no way that the Marquis will give up the『right to represent the area』so easily…… . ]

Luke was also confused .

Previously, I told to the other aristocrats misinformation about the Marquis’ depravity . That the one with the greatest achievement in taking down the Marquis will retain the right to represent the area .

[Originally the rebellion was incited by baron Parom . Even if he’s already quite advanced in term of age… . . ]

Descartes joined us late after other local aristocrats had gathered . However thanks to his high rank, he’s been showing attempts to move behind our back . In addition to that, he’s not completely agreeing with the decision to free the slave servants, saying that they will only wage violence .

[Luke, I know you meant well . But… . . that fellow is necessary . Endure it for a while . ]

That guy is necessary to put everyone together . I have to bind him here somehow .

While comforting my angry brother, I thought about the future battle .

=====
◆

◆

When I walked in the hallway .

[s.h.i.+on-sama, please wait . ]

A voice stopped me . When I turned around, it was baron Parom’s only daughter, Rina Parom .

[Oh, Rina . How have you been?]

[Umm… . is my father alright? He’s not obstructing, is he?]

A smile bloomed abruptly without me realizing .

[Erm… . did I say something strange?]

[No… . . pardon me . No problem . The baron is working with me properly . ]

Rina in turn smiled after hearing my reply .

[That’s good to hear… . I thought that my indecisive father would only pull your legs down . Anyways, if there is something you need, please tell me . ]

Rina has a gentle character like her father . However, she can also act out of character from time to time . Becoming brave, and sometimes a bit hot blooded .

Once, fully armed, she said that she’ll lead the army in place of her father .

That appearance when she’s wearing light armor with her hair coiffed was that of a female knight . However, she’s still indeed a Baron’s daughter . There was still a lady-like atmosphere around her . Even I, who rarely had any interest in interacting with woman, found her rather attractive .

(If this girl was a boy instead… . . Baron Parom would’ve thought differently… . )

Coming to this place, after talking and getting to know the personality, I could think this much .

(This girl will balance well with Luke… . )

[Anyways Rindono . Do you mind if I ask for one thing?]

[Yes! What is it!?]

[Lindono, have you already had a gentleman decided in your mind??]

[Na!?]

Fumu, she’s visibly upset . I guess it’s too impulsive of me .

[Ah, no, it’s fine . That kind of thing will come naturally . Please forget it . ]

[……why did s.h.i.+on-sama suddenly ask about such a thing?]

Rina asked while having a blus.h.i.+ng face . I should tell her honestly to avoid misunderstanding .

[Well, my clan’s Luke has come to age and I wonder if you two are a match… . ]

[s.h.i.+on-sama……is the worst . ]

Oh? I wonder why she became angry… . . I really don’t understand woman’s heart .

While looking at the Rindono leaving angrily… . I tilted my head .

=====
◆

A few days later . The marquis marched to marsh together with his prided knights in response to us setting our camp there as expected .

[Foolish peasants . I will crush you all thoroughly!]

I could tell what he said even from a distance .

[He’s really a simple man . I didn’t expect that he’ll come with such a simple invitation . ]

I took off my gla.s.ses .

[Now then, we shall commence as planned . Will that be okay?]

I took off my gla.s.ses .

[Now then, we shall commence as planned . Will that be okay?]

[ [ [Affirmative] ] ]

And the decisive battle began .

=====
◆

Marquis Molrot ordered his heavy cavalry to a.s.sault . The tradition of cavalry has been handed down from generations in Molrot’s clan .
The heavy cavalry charge killed off a lot of adversaries .

[Go! Let those smart a.s.ses see with their own eyes!]

The cavalry started to move swiftly . The target is the enemy headquarters .

However… . . it developed into something that Marquis Molrot would never expected .

[Your Excellency! It’s impossible!! We can’t proceed any further!]

[What did you say!]

[The horse’s feet are stuck on the swamp… . . uwaaa!]

Naturally…the swamp has been tinkered with . I strewn dried gra.s.s all over to give an impression that the swamp isn’t deep, while in really had dug it out to make it even deeper… .

Moreover the heavy cavalry acted as planned .

[Foolish peasants . So you actually have some brains . To setup a trick like this… . ]

Baron Parom muttered after looking at the confused enemy cavalry .

[For a fool like him, this trap is truly fitting . He would never give something like this a deep thought before proceeding . ]

That said, I pointed my fan and started to give more instruction .

[Now then, let’s enter the second phase . Attack the cavalry that is currently stuck in the swamp en ma.s.se]

With my signal, starting with Luke and Maridono, the aristocrats in their respective field started to shout out instructions all at once .

[Yos.h.!.+ Fire!]

Every soldiers, and the freed slave servants all released the arrows all at once at the cavalry . Those who can use magic would shoot out offensive magic . The swamp was soon turned into h.e.l.l on earth .

[How dare those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds……retreat! retreeeeat!]

Marquis Morlot could be seen escaping in a hurry .

[And that have made it a checkmate . ]

For the place he ran into… . .

[I am Baron Descartes! Morlot! Prepare to feel our wrath!]

[b.a.s.t.a.r.d!]

And then Morlot was beheaded by Descartes without question .

This battle… . became two important points in the history .

The first was about this particular battle .
In the history of Arcadia empire, this will be the first time slave servants joined a battle, thus earning this battle the name of『Slave War』later on .
After this battle, many demi-humans would move for independency… . . this was only the beginning .

The second was… . the entrance of [s.h.i.+on Tristan] name in history . His presence gave huge influence to many points in the history .
