382 Importance of short-term showdown

"Then the treatment of the Hermes family is similar to that of the Lubitsch family. Lord Gazer, the Hermes family owner, is to hide away and let his son, Lord Gary, inherit the housekeeper. And the knights of the Hermes family ask Fontana to pledge allegiance by forsaking Hermes' name. In time, we will confiscate the territory of the Hermes family and invite them to take part in national politics by conferring the title in the Kingdom of Fontana. Are you sure?

"... ok. Let's accept that condition."

After breaking through the castle gate, the Hermes family surrendered.

Honestly, I'm glad it's over.

Actually, I expected it to be the hardest part of this operation, because it was a battle with this Hermes family.

The Hermes family has a territory surrounded by mountains and magic that creates a body for the minute it returns to the leaves of the trees even if it is defeated.

What worried me when I decided to fight this Hermes family was whether or not it would be a guerrilla fight.

If they took the tactic of being ambushed over and over again using their minute bodies after using the superior magic of the Hermes family, [Phantom Conclave], which gets lost in the woods, it would have been pretty hard to deal with them.

Moreover, it was likely that Fontana, who should have attacked him, would not win and be forced into retreat, because the cavalry regiment riding the Valkyrie would also not be able to use its full power in the mountain forest.

Perhaps if I were to lose to the Hermes family here, I would lose credibility from many knights.

Those who were following with what they had been able to lose before said, "Is that it? Isn't this guy actually a big deal?" It's not a good idea.

That's why I bothered to wage war in such a cold winter.

To avoid a troublesome guerrilla battle, there was snow, and the knights of the Hermes family met together in a New Year's greeting.

And that worked.

Nor did the Hermes family think that [phantom kingdom] would be easily broken through so far that they would be attacked by their home castle.

Definitely thought it was something that was being wrecked and damaged in Snow Mountain.

I'd say the MVP in this fight is definitely in Billy, who developed the tracking bird.

"By the way, I wanted to ask you something, Lord Gazer, may I ask you something?

"What is it?

"I hear that the only magic of the Hermes family is [separation] and [phantom kingdom], but there's actually something else?

"... what else?

"Right. For example, you think you have the magic to hide yourself or something? There isn't, is there?

"........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Did you hear that somewhere?

"No. I was just wondering if there might be one if you were working in these mountains and could use something [split]"

"I see. This was taken one. I thought you knew and heard, but apparently you weren't. Dear Left, My Hermes family has something to use besides the two magics ahead."

"Is that true, Lord Gazer? Even my Lubitsch family didn't know such a story."

"Naturally, you're the young lord of Lubitch. I guess I could talk to you if they found out anyway. Our Hermes knight can use the magic of [secrecy], Lord Barca."

"[Hidden]? Nice. Excellent magic, Lord Gazer. Is that the magic of blocking the signs?

"That's right. but that's not all, it can also be assimilated to the surrounding colors. Along with the clothes you're wearing and a little gear."

"Oh, that's amazing. I see. So, you used that [secret] to deliver information to this castle, such as when you sent a letter to the messenger beforehand."

"Exactly. The Hermes family came to hide the very existence of this castle because of its [hidden] presence along with the [phantom kingdom]."

"... by the way, does that magic work better in the mountains? How effective is it when you're out of town?

"If you say which works better, that would naturally be in the mountains. But it doesn't mean you can't use it in the city, it's possible to use it. but it will still be easier to be noticed"

"... by the way, you're not using it now, are you? Please note that if anyone leaves this castle without permission, it will be targeted."

"... oh, of course. If you have such a person, you may cut them off."

Are you all right?

There was some moment, but what if there was one trying to escape in [secrecy]?

In the meantime, I thought the Hermes looked like ninjas, so I was giving instructions to the Servant Beast after the offense.

If the tracking bird smells like trying to get out of the castle, he tells Valkyrie to let him know and attack.

I guess [covert] is close to a chameleonic ability, according to Gazer, who will now be able to hide the Hermes family principals in front of him.

I don't know if I can handle the smell.

But it turns out that this Hermes family magic has a very interesting array of things.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, I

It's like a clan who has lived trying to hide himself in a despicable mountain or something totally sneaky.

Regardless of what you think inside, it would be good to have decided to compete in a short showdown with this Hermes family to be in control.

Soon after, the Hermes decided to use their magic effectively, and I decided to turn my attention to my next opponent.
