Otto and the Swordsmen escaped from the rebel camp 10 minutes before the completion of the False Face of the Impersonator spell.

Immediately after that, they headed towards the suppression camp led by the Crown Prince.

A few hours later.

Commander Cain? What brings you to me at this late hour?

The Crown Prince, who couldnt sleep due to anxiety and worry, seemed quite surprised by Ottos sudden visit.

Yes, Your Highness.

Otto replied to the Crown Princes question.

We have succeeded in our mission.

Mission?

You can advance to the Canyon Ridge immediately.

What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?

The Crown Prince didnt understand Ottos words at all.

Youre telling me to attack the Canyon Ridge in the middle of the night?

Yes, Your Highness.

But the enemies are firmly holding their ground at the Canyon Ridge, arent they? If we attack them now

Werent you planning to attack anyway?

Well, thats true, but

The Crown Prince became speechless at Ottos remark.

Just a few days ago, it was the Crown Prince himself who couldnt bear the frustration and wanted to send troops to Canyon Ridge.

Trust me and attack now.

Listen, Commander Cain.

The Crown Prince said with a perplexed expression.

If you suddenly order an advance like that, its difficult to move the army hastily. You need to give a convincing explanation

At that moment.

Your Highness.

A general appeared and reported to the Crown Prince.

I heard that Otto de Scuderia of the Iota has died.

Is, is that true?

Yes, Your Highness. According to the report, the death of Otto de Scuderia has been officially announced in Iota, and preparations for the funeral are being made.

??.

The Crown Prince looked back at Otto after receiving the report.

(Ah~ Ive killed him~)

Otto smiled inwardly at the Crown Princes astonished expression.

Seeing the person who asked him to kill someone, not knowing that person was right in front of him, and being so surprised, it was natural for laughter to well up inside.

Commander Cain Did Otto de Scuderia really die? Just a few days after I asked you to kill him?

You asked me to kill him.

Well, thats true, but I didnt expect you to execute it so quickly.

Gonzalez, that wicked man, never misses a target once he sets his sights on it. He will chase and kill him until the end of the world.

While tearing apart Camille for no reason, Otto said to the Crown Prince.

Commander Cain Your abilities are truly remarkable.

I simply killed Auto de Scuderia as you requested. And I set the stage for you to occupy the Cannian Front as you asked.

Thats good.

The Crown Prince made up his mind.

I will trust my Commander Cain this time.

The Crown Prince decided to place absolute trust in Otto.

It was only natural.

Otto saved Prince, who was being pursued by the rebels, and went on to eliminate the leader of a force that would become a threat in the future.

So, without sending absolute trust, there was no other choice.

We will advance to the Canyon Ridge immediately.

A smile appeared on Ottos face beneath the mask.

***

The Crown Prince, who had come to trust Otto, advanced towards Canyon Ridge without further questioning.

Enemy! The enemies are attacking!

Theyre coming!

The rebel forces remaining at Canyon Ridge were greatly taken aback by the sudden advance of the Crown Princes troops.

Currently, there were only about 1,000 troops guarding the front. A small number indeed.

We won!

Weve occupied the Cannian Front!

Theyre running away!

Cheers of victory erupted from the soldiers of the Crown Princes suppression army.

While Otto was gleefully swinging his sword and gaining experience, they had successfully occupied Canyon Ridge without him noticing.

***

After the battle was over,

Commander Cain!

The Crown Prince rushed to Otto.

What in the world happened? How did you do it? The Canyon Ridge is completely empty! What tactics did you use? Please, tell me. Im begging you.

The Crown Prince was incredibly curious about what kind of magic Otto had used.

Its nothing special. I simply assassinated all the high-ranking officers, including the commander.

A-All of them?

Yes.

And then what did you do? Whats next?

I disguised myself as the commander and issued false orders. I ordered the troops to move to the rear of the suppression army and launch a surprise attack.

Oh my.

Even after hearing Ottos explanation, the Crown Prince couldnt fathom it.

Is that really possible? With a force of fewer than ten people?

It was a feasible operation against a weak small country like this.

Otto stated flatly.

And it was true.

It wouldnt be possible if it were a major power.

The larger the country, the more robust its military command structure and clear division of roles among officers.

The individual abilities of the officers would also be incomparable.

Moreover, with advanced communication magic, reports could be delivered swiftly.

On the other hand, armies of small countries like the Kingdom of Roshan were full of vulnerabilities, making it possible to conquer them easily if one had the capability.

A small country a small country, huh

The Crown Prince murmured Ottos words.

(His pride must have been wounded.)

Otto inwardly chuckled, knowing the Crown Princes personality all too well.

If his homeland and the future country he would possess were evaluated as Such a weak small country, it would be even more humiliating if he didnt feel wounded.

However, the Crown Prince had ambitions to conquer the western frontier and expand into the continent.

Instead of getting angry, he asked Otto.

Do you know about the major powers in that continent?

Of course.

What are they like?

Otto responded.

The continent is a place where the economic power of a single city surpasses that of the Kingdom of Roshan by more than tenfold.

That much?

If youre an extremely powerful knight you can even single-handedly destroy the Kingdom of Roshan.

T-Thats absurd!

The Crown Prince couldnt easily believe Ottos words.

How is that possible? Ive heard that the knights on the major countries are strong, but

Even my Black Order is not that powerful compared to them.

Ottos words were true.

The combat capabilities of the hero units active on the continent were truly extraordinary.

For example, the Koutachi Family alone could bring about the downfall of the Kingdom of Roshan in just three days.

Of course, the Koutachi Family was currently being restrained by various factions and couldnt act recklessly.

Nevertheless, the disparity in the level between the area where Otto was currently operating and the continent was immense.

Can can our Kingdom of Roshan expand into the continent?

It wont be too late to consider that after you ascend to the throne.

I see.

The Crown Prince nodded as if he had realized something from Ottos wise answer.

I misspoke. I understood Commander Cains words. I was thinking about something thats still far away. After annihilating these rebel troops and ascending to the throne, I will consider the expansion into the continent and the conquest of Iota. It shouldnt be too difficult since Otto de Scuderia is already defeated.

Will that be possible?

Otto smirked wickedly behind his mask, provoking the Crown Prince.

While I congratulate you on your victory, now is not the time for that.

Hmm?

You should pursue the rebels and press your advantage.

Otto did not intend on simply letting the remaining 9,000 rebel troops who had retreated from Canyon Ridge go.
