A mountain of weapons and other munitions piled up in front of her. Watching these things, Yuria’s eyes began to twinkle.
“Wow… is this really all ours? Weapons are still coming in like that…”
At the moment, from the side, the weapons were being piled up one by one.
Aside from other things, Yuria, who had quite a bit of knowledge about iron, had a rough idea of how much these weapons would be worth. From her point of view, it was a level where she could just feel the huge amount of cash accumulating in real-time.
And, at Yuria’s words, Isolda spoke in a calm voice as usual.
“It is. Because all the spoils of this war were supposed to belong to the Beden Merchant Company. Not only the weapons, but the food in the back and the funds brought by the Sakiel Knights are all ours.”
“This is enough to recoup this investment. As expected…they aren’t lying when they say that the flower of commerce is war.”
“It is not wrong. In the human world the time when you spend the most money is when you wage war.”
While saying that, Isolda’s gaze turned to Bahamut, who was working hard at directing the merchants and transporting the spoils.

“Damn… how did this happen to me…”
A middle-aged man was sitting in a chair in a cramped, dark room.
Iscal, the leader of the Sakiel Knights, was trembling with anger, and at the same time, his thoughts were rolling his head nonstop.
Iscal and the Sakiel Knights were completely defeated in the war. The number of prisoners reached tens of thousands, and at the same time, most of the Sakiel Knights across the continent, who could be called losers in the war, were gathered here.
If Hangury k!lled them all, the Sakiel Knights would completely disappear from the continent’s history. Iscal, too, would end completely, leaving only a dirty stigma in history.
‘I can’t let it end like that. I have to find a way somehow…a way to overcome this crisis…even if that doesn’t work, I can’t go on like this.’
Even in such a worst-case scenario, Iscal calmly continued his calculations.
Although he was incompetent as a war commander, his position in the Sakiel Knights was not a fluke. Even if he had the support of Princess Elios, it was his ability that allowed him to rise from the bottom to where he was now. Therefore, Iscal sharpened his mind, mobilizing all of his knowledge and remaining resources to prepare for the next situation.
Cheeark!
The door opened with a metallic sound.
Immediately after that, he saw the visage of Gerard, the man who had brought him to this point.
“Hehh! Hahahaha!”
The next moment, Iscal suddenly broke out in laughter.
Gerard’s expression didn’t change even when he heard that terrifying sound, and he spoke to Iscal in a cold voice.
“It seems that the reputation of the man called the supreme commander of the Sakiel Knights is truly undeserved. The Sakiel Knights had a reputation on the continent, but I never thought it would end like this for you.”
“Did you say it was over? Dream on. You guys can never kill me.”
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. Even now, if His Majesty’s orders are given, your life will end here…”
“No, among the guys living on this continent, there is no one who can touch our Sakiel Knights carelessly. It’s not all about winning the war.”
Iscal cut off Gerard’s words and spoke firmly. The will burning in his face showed that it was no mere bravado.
“You will find out in a little while. That there is someone behind me that you can’t even imagine.”
“I can’t even imagine…hmm…I see…”
Gerard nodded slowly at Iscal’s words.
At that, a question began to appear in Iscal’s mind for a moment, and Gerard brought out something in front of him.
“Could the unimaginable person you were talking about be this…?”
“This! This…”
In the next moment, Iscal’s face turned pale and hardened as he had lost his composure. What lay before his eyes was enough to make him have chills.
It was a document containing short but clear information. Looking at it, even with a signature clearly embedded in it, Iscal was unable to think for a moment, and Gerard spoke to Iscal in a calm voice.
“Looks like your proud backer is going to stop investing heh? What kind of idiot would keep pouring money into a failed venture?”
“This…this…it can’t be like this! Uh…how…how could he…the White Dragon Princess abandon me…”
“There is no point in denying reality like that. Just accept your fate.”
“No, it can’t bel!!!”
Iscal screamed in anger and despair.
Seeing his response, Gerard let out a small sigh.
‘In the first place, he didn’t even know that he was just a chess piece…this guy is quite a pathetic human being. No…in this respect, it just goes to show how ruthless the White Dragon Princess really is…’
