65. The Climax of Spring (3)

It wasn’t even before the sun rose when I left town with Lord Benlow and the Milgrester family’s cavalry.

Eisbowald was close by and the cavalrymen were mostly lightly armed. In addition, everyone was equipped with one or two additional riding horses or pack horses apart from war horses, so they were able to pass through the gates before noon.

Eisbobalt occupied the crossroads of the Dayval Road, which stretched from north to south, and trade routes from east to west. It was considered one of the wealthiest cities in the area.

However, on the first day of April, Eisbowald, basking in the spring sun, had an atmosphere like a strategic point on the border. The flat land surrounding it was completely dug up as trenches and moats were dug, piles of stones were piled high on the wall, and the west and north gates were completely closed, with three or four large rocks embedded in place of the gates.

In less than a month after being occupied by the kingdom army led by me, the thriving Free City has turned into a flaming fortress.

It feels a bit complicated.

Immediately after passing through the south gate, I headed for the headquarters of the guards, which I was using as a residence. I was going to stop by the military camp set up next to the burnt mayor’s office after undressing as a woman.

However, as if news of my arrival had already been reported, the front of the headquarters was already teeming with messengers, knights, officers, Hareskis, and temporarily hired bureaucrats – anyway, all kinds of people.

“Sir Phoenix.”

“Lord Phoenix has arrived!”

There are a few inconveniences I’ve experienced since riding a bicorn. The first was the huge amount of food this monster had, and the second was that I couldn’t hide my identity while riding it.

I started to be called ‘The Red Knight of the Silver Prince’ right after I got the Vicorn, so when I think of the Vicorn, everyone thinks of the Vicorn.

This automatic association was no different between enemy and ally, so even though I had come alone after dispersing Milgrester’s cavalry, all of those waiting in front of the headquarters recognized me.

“There is an urgent report regarding the movements of Lord Phoenix Louisix II.”

“Lord Langboldt wants to share information about the situation. I request the summoning of a military doctor.”

“Hunafi! I brought a message from Napidat.”

“I have a suggestion for you regarding the operation of the vigilante group.”

“Nari nari!”

Shit, everyone’s in a frenzy thinking someone might not be at war.

I briefly drove off the crowds and called a man standing in front of the building entrance with a few soldiers.

“Go trop!”

“Yes yep sir!”

Sergeant Gotthrop, a former port garrison in Proshafen, shrugged in surprise. Then he fixed his helmet and ran quickly.

“Why is everyone doing this on the street? If there are a lot of people like this, you should have prepared a seat inside.”

“But you ordered not to let anyone outside the lord into the headquarters, right?”

“A foreigner? To your eyes, do these guys look like strangers? These assholes-” I was

about to pour out curses at the moment, but then I kept my mouth shut. Even though he is a commander, he cannot show his subordinates harsh treatment.

I sighed and ordered.

“Send them into the office in turn. You come in first.”

” yep.”

Goth Rob’s face turned pale, whether it was because he had been called by me or given the reins of his bicorn.

It was a little annoying, but as soon as I arrived at the office for a while, I smiled wide.

“It’s a bunch.”

“trunnion!”

“Uh...

Iofya glanced at the bundle while fiddling with her black hair that had a blue aura. Confirming that he was still concentrating on sniffing, the girl spoke cautiously.

“There is an assassin from the East called ‘The Black Lady’ under Prince Silver’s back. .. What kind of rumors.”

The war that broke out around High Castle was a major event in which both the Empire and the Kingdom mobilized over 20,000 troops. Naturally, the public’s attention was focused, and the names of those who were active on the battlefield spread quickly.

Although he is a mungchi who rarely reveals himself, it was unavoidable that his name would spread as he was one of my closest aides.

Also, unusually, his fame spread around the nobility. Ha, originally, nobles with high authority are afraid of silent assassins more than brave knights

. The guards were innumerable.”

“Then did you fail? Half and half?”

“I couldn’t confirm the brainwashing process, but I could see the magicians.”

“A conjurer?”

“Those who brainwashed the innocent by mobilizing all sorts of spells and elixirs.”

It sounds obvious, but if magic or slave soldiers only obeyed their father’s orders, they would have no more value than close escort. Special adjustments were needed to ensure that orders from commanders or lower-ranking officers were also obeyed.

This ‘coordination of the chain of command’ would have been impossible without the magicians learning about Alchenver’s brainwashing techniques.

“Then did you know how?”

“I have a guess, but

Iofiya hesitated for a moment, then explained in a voice without much confidence how to destroy the Alzenberg brainwashing technique.

“...hmm.”

After Iofiya’s not long or short explanation, I quietly scratched my eyebrows.

“It’s not an easy way. There is no guarantee of success.”

“...sorry. I lacked the ability and time.”

The young shaman muttered something in a low voice, and I laughed and tousled her hair.

“I’m not going to die. That much information is enough.”

“is that so?”

“uh. Anyway, I got something to try. If it doesn’t work, it can’t be helped, and if it works, it’s a jackpot.”

“I thought I was putting Phoenix-sama in danger...

“I’m already at war, so what’s the danger?”

At my light tone, Iofya smiled bashfully.

“ruler. You guys must have been tired from traveling a long way, so go back and rest.”

After clapping their hands and talking, they patted the back of the bundle. The guy who didn’t listen to me like a drunk fell off after calming me down for a while.

“Yes then, Mr. Rannon and I-”

Iofya stood up, putting on a thin poncho, and blinked as the bundle was about to go into the wrong place.

“...why do you go there? Come out.”

“why.”

“Why why? It’s because there are things to report and receive from now on.”

The bundle, which naturally headed under my desk, pursed its lips with a dissatisfied face. It looked like he was asking why not today.

In order to protect Iofiya with questionable eyes, I sent out the wad while sweating.
