Leonid, who had been placed in accordance with the operation, had marched away from the camp to the place where he believed there was an Azito, away from Christhalt in command.

Not to be noticed, we've got everyone on foot, and then we're letting the scouts get ahead of us while we take down the watch.

- That's competent. But... you don't have enough experience yet.

I had absolutely no feelings for Christophart as a childhood friend I had seen for a long time, and as a neighboring general, I was just objectively appreciative.

He seemed to be in a hurry for merit, but without some unexpected event beyond his imagination, the operation would work.

It is arguably the right decision not to come aboard the proposal and leave the entry to Leonid.

- As long as we can carry out our mission.

With that in mind, Leonid chose a way to keep the thieves from going to the main unit as much as possible.

Not to take into account Cristhardt, just because Leonid's soldiers are more used to fighting.

The opponent is an organized thief and may also have an escape route.

We should have approached Azit unnoticed and vanished at once.

There will still be those who escape, so the rest is the work of Christhalt and the others.

If you do what you say, you'll hang it on the net without leaving the bandits scattered and coming down.

If you know there are no thieves you've discussed, that should be enough credit, either as the Kingdom of Remaiza.

- I have trouble getting you to die poorly.

Not only was Leonid looking ahead to the success of this operation.

He that is competent shall live, and do all he can for his land, and his kingdom.

That was Leonid's creed.

Whether it was my own country or another, it wasn't once or twice that the greedy and incompetent guy pulled my leg.

Conversely, if a competent person becomes the centre and leader of that country, cooperation between the two countries, such as this one, will also be possible.

At least Christhalt seemed to grasp the situation and hold as many vessels as he could control his greed.

So I don't want you to die if possible.

- Most importantly, when you die, it's a lot of trouble.

"It's time, Lieutenant."

Apparently one of the preceding scouts came back at some point.

I've been earing at Leonid.

"Okay. Everybody, get ready."

Looking back, I send a signal by hand.

With the number and orientation of the fingers you put up, you can quickly give instructions for preparing for battle, marching, waiting, entering, and retreating.

What sees Leonid's signal sends that signal further back. Doing so conveyed instructions to everyone in a matter of minutes without making a loud noise.

Here are the twenty most elite members of the penetration team.

Ten of the returning scouts fall back to the main unit and let them rest.

The other twenty, as they entered, had instructed them to surround Azit loosely.

- That way?

Check the entrance to Ajito.

Two thieves were watching as they yawned.

This approach seems to be unnoticed.

Leonid takes out two daggers when he turns his hand around his hips.

"Ha!"

With your left and right hands, throw almost simultaneously.

The dagger slammed into the neck of the two watchmen so they could be sucked in.

Because he was shortly out of breath, only the sound of falling down softly sounded.

Leonid sent marching instructions to the soldiers behind him.

"Wow."

Raise your voice and Leonid himself goes first to Azito.

If you can't be late for the deputy commander, your men will come after you.

"Raid!" A knight! A knight!

Soon I heard voices from inside.

Apparently, he also keeps a double lookout near the entrance.

- He's a somewhat cautious guy for thieves.

I have a slight feeling I don't like it, but the fight has already begun.

You don't have to think about it. Now you can shake your sword.

"He said he was a knight!? Knock it down! Anyway, the nobleman Bonkla imitates the knight..."

Two thieves show themselves from the dark.

One with a stick and the other with a dagger in his hand.

Never mind, Leonid suddenly waved his great sword into a sideburn.

"Become...!

The two bandits suddenly realize the sword is imminent and try to take it with their own weapons.

But Leonid's sword couldn't have stopped at that.

"Damn!? Ha..."

The weapon we both took is crushed, and its momentum knocks us against the walls of the cave.

"You're lying... why is the" Great Sword of the Holy Lion ”here...!

I saw Leonid before I lost consciousness, and I squeaked.

"Hostile attack. Not many. Enclose, enclose!

One thief after another comes out of the back and surrounds Leonid as he distances himself.

"Lieutenant Leonid!

My followers noticed how Leonid was doing and raised their voices.

"I have no problem, destroy the thieves."

When reassured his men, he waved the sword of love again.

"Whoa, whoa!

Now twitch like a spin.

Then the bandits surrounded and armed raised their painful voices one after the other: "Ugh" and "Gu".

Together, a few people blew up, and they were still slammed against the wall.

"Those whose lives are in vain, stay down."

Taking a dagger from a bandit who is falling nearby, he is slammed against the wall and throws it at a guy who is still conscious.

Different vegetables, he pierced right next to his side and stopped sewing on the wall with his clothes.

"Whoever wants to escape, come and defeat me."

I bark when I lay down my sword.

"Ha... I can't... I don't... it's better to send a sinner tower..."

The remaining thief lost his temper and groaned.

Drop the sword you had in your hand and you run behind the cave.

No, I was just trying to get away with it.

"What are you scared of, knight? Let's protect the property by dying, don't we? Die, yeah. I know you're telling me to die on my property when I suck!

A newer thief emerged from the darkness in the back.

My body is as big as Leonid's.

The hands and feet are unusually long, grabbing the face of the man who escaped earlier and lifting lightly with one hand.

"Oh, your head... but..."

"Did you say that? You said" but ”now, didn't you? Yes, I said a ban term...... death decision! Goodbye -"

Slip a dagger around the man's neck with the hands of those who were empty.

The man who escaped was thrown to the ground like garbage.

"Are you the leader of the bandits?

Leonid, who was quietly staring at the situation, opened his mouth.

"Oh? Oh, my God! You can do whatever you want with my Ajito..."

For a moment, even raising his voice of anger, he shivers his voice when he sees Leonid.

"Oh, you... vice president of the Mowers in danger s... yah, yah. Seriously, Yabe."

Apparently, the thief's head also knows about Leonid.

Cold sweat falls off my forehead.

"Choose. I'll take you down, or you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."

Put up the sword, Leonid asks.

This is probably the one who organized the thieves that were ever a small group.

When might a poisoned dagger fly in?

It is forbidden to be alarmed.

"Of course...... the third option. Keep up the free bandit business!

Answered, the thief's head still released a dagger.

Besides, he throws about four to keep standing.

Tap the three down with a sword and the other with as little movement as possible.

"He said he could do it to the most powerful class of knights on the continent!

The thief's head screamed, kicking his companion who was nearby toward Leonid, creeping back and fleeing.

"Wait! Damn it!

Soon he punches a kicked ass thief and chases his head.

But I wasn't likely to catch up on a thoughtful escape.

Give up immediately and come up with your next move.

- - The fact that he fled toward the back of Azit...

There are three things I can think of.

I. I just abandoned myself and ran away.

II. The back is a maze and other traps.

Three, there is an escape route that leads to somewhere.

He'll be a smart guy, so one probably isn't.

Maybe two or three, or both.

If it's just two, you just have to hunt it down slowly.

The problem is if there are three escape routes.

Originally, I had an assumption, but I can't keep all this up until I'm an inside detective.

There wasn't enough time for that this time.

- He's dangerous.

A survey that had crossed the dead line many times had told me.

He's a pretty dangerous opponent, though he's no match for Leonid.

Good judgment and thoughtfulness to escape when you notice the target of the raid, plus the wisdom that put the bandits together.

Minutes may be bad in Christhalt right now.

"Vice Commander, what do you want to do?

A proximity that came after him cleaning up the rest of the thief asks Leonid for instructions.

"You command the soldiers and destroy Ajit."

Pack and decide on future policies and give instructions to your people.

"Be careful and try not to hurt anyone."

"I'm in awe"

This operation will not be a problem, as the captain has turned many good men here for his modest turns.

"What will you do yourself, Lieutenant?

"I 'm--"

Leonid stares ahead.

At the end of that gaze was not the darkness that led to the back of Azit, but the light that went to the entrance.
