73. Magnificent military council of the Duke of Rowville's army

"Gralip, I'm sorry for so many times, but can you tell me again when the Homncrus showed up at the fortress?"

The Duke of Rowville opens his mouth with a dandy face.

The son, Salute, also snorted deeply.

Grapple with several interviews to get some information.

Gralip replied comfortably "I am comfortable with it".

"This is the information my men brought out of the castle fortress and on the fast horse. All of a sudden, the Homunculus compounds showed up and started killing."

"In addition to the town of Zilm, the Empire kept the Homuncrus soldiers hidden. When will we ever have a few such great armies of demons... No, that's not quite impossible. But..."

Rowville looked like he chewed up a bitter bug.

"Hundreds of monsters suddenly appeared in the fortress, etc.? Is it still some kind of mistake to look at it? It's still more believable that someone gave you a guide."

You're right, says Kruotz.

"I did hear there were traces of break-ins into the fortress before they came out. But you must have concluded that it was the work of an extremely highly trained spy in the empire.

Gralip replied calmly to the words.

"As you all said, I couldn't believe it when I first heard it either. But I was more familiar with my people's reports. Well, it was something I actually had to watch to talk about. He was a rookie, and that day he was on guard duty at the castle gate."

Everyone is listening to his words.

"He said the monsters were already in the training ground when he realized it. Hundreds, no. Maybe a thousand were there. They are all unmistakable with their creepy golden eyes, homunculus. Of course, we didn't open any castle gates. He hid in the shadows when he discovered them."

It was cowardly to hear many times, and Gralip continued, listening to the words of Qur 'Oats, who looked frightened.

"Sometimes I was a newbie. I honestly said fear prevailed. Soon their outrageous massacre began, and the man jumped out of fear and escaped. At that time, I was badly injured, but I managed to procure horses in the city, and they came to me day and night."

"But hey..." Salute tilts his neck.

"It's hard for me to believe how those homunculus showed up at the fortress..."

Gralip also responded to his words, "I know how you feel."

"I suspected my men at first, too. Whatever." The homunculus appeared from the sky. "That's what I'm saying. But he said," That's more than the gate was closed!! "I did make sense. So I remembered something. Major General Kruotz told me about the existence of a wizard who serves the empire."

Kruotz gives a troubled expression of "uhm".

Gralip was so sure of his thoughts.

"That's right. He's the wizard Major General Kruotz once said! Fly around the sky freely and manipulate even the lost curse, when there are terrible men in the empire... Well, you said it was only a rumor. I can't believe there's such a guy in real life."

But suppose it wasn't a rumor? and to a grapple that says slightly excitedly,

"Well, rumors or no, that's not important right now."

And Rowville said calmly.

"Rumors are nothing but rumors. But a thousand homunculus appeared at the same time to the fortress. This is an indisputable fact. I no longer have to think about it that way. Then it was probably floating magic to a wide area that was used... It's hard to believe that so much advanced magic has been exercised in Russia... but there's more to it now than there is to believe. I mean, whether that's the rumored figure or not, it's an indisputable fact that there are such hand-worked wizards. Because..."

He rubbed his jaw,

"We must be vigilant about that terrible wizard's assault. No matter how much Homunculus attacked us, we were killed by the martial arts. It will be easy to repel. Unlike the soldiers of the fortress, who were timidly surprised. But the wizard is horrible. There can be attacks from the sky. It's gonna be hard to keep them on guard at four or six. As long as you're human."

You're right, Salute agrees.

"That's why I came with enhanced security. The existence of a wizard... was half-hearted, but there was also a strong advance by Major General Gralip, wasn't there? We let Major General Kruotz's manufactured synthetic beasts (chimeras) protect us day and night. It's not half as homunculus, but a loyal servant and an arm. We're keeping an eye on the food, just in case."

Um, Rowville nods deeply.

"It's not enough to be afraid if they don't even poke me by accident. Stay alert."

Ha, and Salute replied.

Even though the castle fortress has been occupied by the dastardly rape plot of the Empire, there are still 10,000 soldiers left here.

A thousand homunculus soldiers and other things are scary enough, and I'll shoot you down, such as an evil wizard.

Above all, we have kept the peace of the kingdom for a long time.

Such self-esteem ignites their hearts.

"All right, the soldiers have had enough rest. Ugh! Tomorrow morning we will arrive at the Ragganite Castle Fortress!! All armies..."

"Oh my God, Duke!!

As soon as Rowville uttered the instructions of the march, one of his men rushed into the tent to change his blood phase.

"What's the matter, noisy at a time like this!

Rowville yells, interrupted by the line because of it.

But not even to reprimand him like that, the conductor reported to scream.

"Oh, the flag of the Imperial Soldier! It's an ambush of an Imperial soldier!! Number is roughly 1000!!

"What the heck!?

The scream stuck to the tent.
