288 Chapter 19-13 Operation Initiation

Lyle side

My lord, the enemy is approaching the first position at the speed expected.

"Okay, we're going backwards as planned." For those in the first sector, beware of being too tenacious! "

Not only in the first position, the construction of the position far from the royal capital has been simplified, so rather than fighting there, they treated it like a place for necessary supplies, and planned to destroy it before there was any damage. However, there was the most usable space in front of the first position, and it was not necessary to wait quietly for the enemy to approach, so they set a certain trap. However, in order to maximize the effect of that trap, the Knights in the first position were considerably more dangerous than originally planned.

“At the same time, tell the 2nd and 3rd Squads not to fail to accept and prepare for the retreat of the 1st Squadron!”

Roger that!

Whether or not the trap succeeds, and even if it does, how badly it strikes is unclear, but fortunately there are examples of multiple successes in two battles. After listening to the successful person, I will execute it, but due to the nature of the trap, it is still worrying to say that it is a hit production.

"Temma said that if I failed, I had no choice but to divide it because I couldn't get the side effects... but I just want to scrape it when I can. Well, if there's any damage, it doesn't make sense."

To tell the truth, I want to succeed even if I can't, but if I fail, I will not be able to avoid the demoralization that comes from the distrust of the upper levels.

It would have been best if Temma had moved it, but Temma needs to save her strength for the rich temples.

As she murmured,

Sir! I can see a large pillar of fire in the direction of the first position!

"That's right! That's great!" So, is there any damage here? "

"I'm sorry." So far, I've only been able to see the pillars of fire, and I haven't received any reports from the First Sector yet. ”

"Oh, I see, I see." In the meantime, we succeeded in creating a "fire whirlwind". I'd like to wait for a report, but we're leaving on schedule. "

This place, only a kilometer away from the first position, was originally prepared suddenly to confirm the success of that trap. When I failed, most of the military junior officers who were there were opposed to me when I first told them that I would see the results of the trap here, where the military junior officers were supposed to stay as far as I could and be a temporary headquarters for giving other orders. Well, I managed to (forcefully) paraphrase them, but as a condition, as soon as the operation was carried out, I was to return to the headquarters built right next to the capital city.

"Those who are still here will risk their lives more than anything if they become dangerous!" Leave the paperwork behind when you have to. It was the zombies. I don't have a head to understand if I leave information! "

I ordered him to get into the carriage so that he could move around at any time, and immediately left the temporary headquarters.

I don't know how much we can hit with this trap... but even if we can defeat it, we won't be able to command the Royal Army.

My words were also nodding to the executives who were riding with me. We have succeeded in a flashy operation. I want to use this momentum to my advantage all the time. Even if the trap seems to have succeeded, you can still deceive me as much as you defeated it.

And so, when I returned to the headquarters of the Imperial Castle... I was captured by my elder brother who was waiting for me there, and I was put to my seat in front of my mother. It seems that it was a bad thing to go to the front (including not getting permission from my father and my brother)... but since this is my job as a military sergeant, I honestly couldn't solve this situation. Well, I couldn't put it in my mouth.

Lyle, it's side.

Amur side

Hmm! Another goblin swarm!

I am now leaving the capital for the south. I didn't run away. Just because Temma gave me the role of best fit.

"At this rate, I might be able to reach Nanao in 20 days?"... whoa! Leiden, don't get too excited! "

Leiden thrust herself into a herd of goblins and kicked the goblins as if she were crushing ants. I wave my favorite Baldish at the Goblin, but Ryden was overwhelmingly slaughtering the Goblin. Looks like Leiden's in a bit of a foolish mood.

Well, Leiden doesn't seem to like being ridden much except temma, so there's nothing I can do about it.

If you're giving instructions while this is connected to the carriage, then I'll give you my orders, but it's a different story to get on. However, I don't hate being with Temma, so perhaps it's unacceptable for pride to put someone other than the one who defeated me on their back.

"It's a little rough to run, but the speed is running, and I'm not going to do anything directly, so there's no problem."

As soon as he left the king's city, he decided to think so.

If you ask me why Temma lent me Leiden, the key to escape, and let her run to the south, it's because the western part of the kingdom began to behave suspiciously.

It's information that Renitan (his men) secretly procured, but apparently the Dalams in the west of the kingdom are gathering weapons and food in one place. You might say that you are only preparing for a herd of good beauty, but the important thing is that even the royal family secretly began to take such important military action. As a precaution, Temma hurriedly took the information that Renitan had brought to the emperor's attention, but it seemed that Lyle, the military lord, was completely sleepy.

His Majesty heard the story and immediately tried to summon Dalaram to the Royal Castle, but Lyle convinced him that it was dangerous to bring the insects inside the lions to the Royal Castle under the current circumstances, and decided to place Albert's guards on the west side. Well, that's not enough to hold back the Dalai Lama army, so I've rallied soldiers from royalty and trusted neutral aristocrats who can still afford it, but it's no match for the Dalai Lama army, which can mobilize tens of thousands of men, so I'll call on the other two Dukes, excluding the Sangha Duke.

However, even if they manage to do so, there seems to be an overwhelming shortage of time. That's where I came in. Now that reinforcements from the south are heading towards the capital, I'd like you to change their planned course to the west and enter the capital from the west in order to suppress the Dalaram Duke's army. That's why Leiden, the fastest man on the planet in the capital, became my partner. The customer (Leiden) decided on her own, so she may be dissatisfied with the decision.

The Southern Army must be leaving Nanao, so if we don't change course, we'll be able to meet in a few days.

I don't know exactly how fast Leiden is or how fast the Southern Army is progressing, but Renitan predicts the South will be nearly halfway to the King's Landing, so he said they could rendezvous in about ten days at the latest. Even if we change course from there, it seems that it will be possible to reach the capital before the Dalai Lama army... I don't know the details, but if Renitan says so, so be it.

"Nh! Leiden, I suddenly don't run for the next herd!"

While thinking for a moment, Leiden runs out to find the next prey (this time a few flocks of orcs). Apparently, the herd of zombies was causing the group of monsters on the east side to move to the west.

If it was a group of goblins or orcs, even if I left it to Leiden, there would be no problem, but if they were to run away suddenly, they would fall, so I might not be able to relax until I took a break... I thought that the orcs would turn into minced meat at some point. It's muddy, and I don't think I'll be able to eat it.

Amur side.

"Grandpa, Lyle's carriage has entered the capital."

"It means the war has begun. How do we move?"

"I think we can still wait." If you move close to the front line now, it's likely that it won't fit when Rich attacks the King's City from another direction. "

My grandfather and I have to prepare for Rich, so if the front lines collapse and our allies lose, we can't go to the rescue.

From here on out, I don't know how the battle between the Royal Army and the Zombie herd is going to go, but unless there's anything else to do, the Royal Army won't lose.

For the rest, four-armed monsters were swarming and attacking, as were monsters from the Rich or Rich classes.

"There's something else I'm worried about... a non-standard monster zombie like [Dragon Zombie]." The ancient dragon class dragon zombie would be stopped in Kukuri Village, but the possibility of the following dragons and dragons becoming zombies is well thought out. Well, if you were a zombie, you would lose the strength of the dragon species, so it would be possible to defeat it. "

The Knights of the Kingdom might be able to deal with a Dinobot-class monster if it turns into a zombie, but in the meantime, their vigilance toward other zombies could be diminished.

If things were going to get too bad, I might have to come out with a tempest, but the number of wizards with the Knights would be aligned.

We shouldn't move unless the zombies attack near the royal castle.

That's right. If you move poorly, you might get in the way.

Lyle tells me that my grandfather and I are dedicated to Rich, and we have his approval, so if we move at our discretion, we are likely to get in the way, so if we move, it would be better if we received a formal request from the military.

"The movement of the Reformers is getting smelly in line with the clash with the herd of zombies, and I'm afraid I can't read what will happen... Temma, do you think you can really suppress the riots in the King's city?"

"I'm not sure, but the Reformers will leap when it happens, so I don't think it's going to be massive if we can even detect it in advance... but the capital is huge." Worst of all, suppression by force of ordinary people who participated in the uprising will result in death. "

I will sacrifice my little one to keep the big one alive... It's a bad idea, but as for me who belongs to the big one, I can't speak up about the idea of sacrificing the little one in order not to harm my family. At best, be careful not to make your acquaintance small, and if so, you'll only have to persuade them.

"Well, including that, it's not 'war'... but when some idiots, who are supposed to be the same people, are about to cause a disturbance during this national tragedy, bugs and saliva are running."

My grandfather also seems to think that there is no choice but to sacrifice to ordinary people, but it seems that he is not convinced that the sacrifice may be caused by the reformers.

"Like the Hard Links of Light, the Tamers, who are dependent on nosey monsters, are centered around the capital, so I think it would be a certain deterrent." If you think about what happens after winning, the sacrifice of ordinary people is not too small. "

One of the main tasks of the Guard is to patrol the city, with Tamer as the main focus.

This was a suggestion to Ernesto from a police dog in his previous life, but I don't know if he has succeeded in the war so far, but I don't hear that the reformers have taken action.

However, since it can help relieve the stress of Tamer's family members, and since it can be investigated to the point where people overlook it, it can be said that the work of watching is suitable for Tamer and his family.

"Also, he secretly sent me a route suitable for the escape that Wright examined." For now, I think it would be helpful if we pair it with what Lenny knows. ”

Some of the Tamers are checking their escape routes alongside their patrols in the event of a critical situation in the capital. Although it may not have been praised to divulge information about the king's city, it is likely that there are royalty members in the Otori family who escape when they have to, so Wright said that he released the information he had obtained. Well, it seems that if you use it as a shield, you will be less likely to be punished, and if you sell your favor to the Otori family, it will be easier to accompany you when you escape.

"When the light moves like that, it's better to think that the Tamers' Guild will rely on the Otori family when it has to." Even though I can trust you, you are very welcome to fight with me. "

My grandfather is closer to the agrari than I am, so it seems that Tamers' Guild would be happy to be on the side of the Otori family for that reason. As for me, I can trust the Tamers' Guild with everything I need to escape with everyone in Kukri Village. I was grateful to have you with me.

"Grandpa, let's check our meals and belongings in the meantime." If possible, I'd like to sleep a little and save my strength. "

"That's right. Even though I check my belongings, I've already used my favorite weapons many times, and I don't have enough time to check the golems and medicines, so I can only check the type and number... well, I guess that should be enough while eating."

Although it was a rear position with plenty of room to spare, it hurt to have a grand meal or a nap on the boulder, so I decided to go back to the tent provided for the Otori family and eat while checking their belongings.

I don't know when the time will come, so I made it hard to digest, so I only used a small amount of the finished product, but it is not enough, but it is better to eat too much and cannot move.

"Grandpa, please be patient with your change."

"Hmm... well, I can't help it." Then I guess I'll just lie down a little bit. "

Grandpa, who was offering me an empty basket, reluctantly pulled the basket back and lay down on the floor. When I was lying down like my grandfather, I seemed to be asleep at some point. When I noticed the signs of people and opened my eyes, it seemed that Chris came to see how it was. He looked down at me and my grandfather, who were lying down in shock.

Primera side

"Primera-san (...), Kelly-san and the employees of the workshop are visiting."

"You may enter the premises. After that, ask the employees to wait in the garden and bring Kelly here.”

Unlike usual, I decided to ask Jeanne to bring Kelly here to call me (...) instead of (...).

The evacuation of Kelly and the others is on schedule, but we need to hear the reason for the visit as well as discuss future actions.

Primera-sama, I can't thank you enough for accepting me and my men this time.

"It's okay. Instead, I'll have you follow the directions of the Otori family in case of an emergency. Are you sure?"

"I understand that." Though accustomed to rough work, it is not always practicable, but it is always confident when it comes to handling weapons. Please don't hesitate to use it... is that okay? "

"Yes, as the Otori family, I would appreciate Kelly's cooperation, and I just need to be sure that they will act together with the Oori family, so you can treat them as you normally would. Well, I'd appreciate it if you could think about it a little bit.”

The point is that Kelly and the others move under the umbrella of the Otori family when they have to, so until the time comes, it's okay to do as usual.

"In the meantime, until that time comes, I'll have to take care of the weapons that Temma is collecting and leaving alone." I couldn't carry the furnace with me, but I brought the other tools with me, and with some maintenance, I should be able to do enough. Also, I'll have the tent cleared in the corner of the garden, but I don't mind. "

"Yes, in the mansion, there may be a hard-to-use person, so I'm sorry, but I try to keep it as empty as possible." Instead, feel free to use the bath or toilet. The garden has a simple divider on the ground, so choose where you'd like it to be. However, we can't recommend it because it smells a little near Zhu Bei's hut. ”

Although they may eventually be evacuated to the Mansion, they may be used by royalty when they are evacuated, and there may be other aristocrats who have a friendly relationship with the Otori family, such as the Count of Sylphilde. In addition, we will also need a room for operation meetings and a hospital room, so we discussed with Temma and the others to leave the room in the Mansion as empty as possible.

Primera-sama, Mark is with the people of Kukuri Village.

"Oops! If you're hanging around, you're about to run out of good places." Then I'll decide where to locate the tent with my people and let them work on it afterwards. If you want to prepare for the bath, thank you. "

“Oh! Let me check the location of the tent once I know where it is.”

Roger

Kelly said so and quickly left the room. And soon after that, Mr. Mark came along with Aura.

"Primera-san, I've brought about half of the people from Kukri Village with me today." The rest of them are doing business with me, so we couldn't get together right away. "

It seems that people who run restaurants and shops are going to close their shops and rendezvous as soon as the ingredients and products are gone, but people who run inns like Mr. Mark are likely to stay in the shops until the last minute due to the guests. For the time being, he told guests that he might suspend the operation of the inn depending on the situation, but in the worst case, he said that he might abandon the inn by leaving the guests as they are.

“Have you heard about the ingredients and products of the dish and what they are going to do in the future?”

"If you hear it lightly, it seems that future arrivals will be tough. They don't come in as much as they used to, and even if they do, the military will get their hands on them first, so it seems that they are now purchasing from a merchant with whom they have a personal relationship. However, because of this situation, it seems that the price is more than double the usual price, and the purchase is not enough. It seems that the only place where you can do business properly is under the umbrella of a major company."

"I see... so why don't you say that you buy the ingredients and products left in the store at the Otori Family House? I don't know what will happen to the Kingdom in the future, so I think we should all gather in one place whenever we can.”

Food can be used for today's meals, and it is a necessity during flight, and goods may be able to turn it into living capital after flight. And above all, the Kingdom's coins could be lost besides their metallic value. We need to acquire as many other assets as we can. However, in the case of the Otori family, if there is a Temma-san and a grandfather, I don't think there will be any trouble in life wherever you go... but there is still plenty of room in the magic bag, so even if you collect it, it won't be in vain at all.

"Then let's talk to those who haven't arrived yet." If you want to buy it out, can I bring it directly here? "

“It doesn't matter, I'll bring it and buy it right away. I would appreciate it if you could summarize the purchase price in advance, as it can be the price at each store. And before you leave, you'll have to decide where you want to pitch your tent and tell us where you did it.”

"Oh, okay. I don't think I'm here, so I'll tell him to report it to someone else."

"Primera, do you want a cup of tea?"

"Yes, please. Let's serve some sweets and take a break with Jeanne." I think Aura will be back soon, so three people will be enough. "

When Mark was gone, Jeanne returned to her usual tone and made her a cup of tea. Recently...... or tea since the discovery of pregnancy, it's mainly herbal tea, so Jeanne naturally started to prepare herbal tea for three people.

I thought you'd miss Temma-san, Grandma, and Amur, but it quickly became more busy than usual.

“That's right, but it's still lonely that there aren't people there as a matter of course.”

I don't know when the House of Otori will completely regain the busyness of the streets, but I told Jeanne to come back as soon as possible.

That's right, but at that time it might be more busy for another person.

and came back.

Primera side.
