A few days before Judy woke up. At the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) headquarters, Knight was reporting on the mission. Unlike the usual reports, this time in the conference room.

"The suspicious person witnessed in the ruins district was… Elba"

"Does Elba mean that Elba?"

Isn't that the mistake of "The One Who Succeedes Elba's Will”?

"Yes, it's not a mistake. It was Elba, the emperor of the past.“ He who inherits Elba's will ”did not exist, and Elba the Emperor himself still existed.

"Ho ⁉⁉ə"

"Elba is... alive ⁉ ●"

"Well, that's a big deal."

"We must take action as soon as possible."

Surprisingly, Knight reported without covering up the truth. Elba is still present in the Knight. I knew Elba was asking me, and Knight didn't make a false report. In other words, does this mean that within the plan of rebellion…?

"Dissenber, this is unexpected. From what I've seen, it looks like the emperor's securing didn't come true, but what do you think?

"Even with my fantasy (regro), I couldn't secure Elba. I'm sure he's lurking his breath somewhere in the Kingdom of Sertria."

Here Knight lied for the first time this day. You're cleverly lying while weaving the truth. It is true that Elba exists within the Kingdom of Sertria, but Knight is not even trying to secure the emperor in the first place.

"Captain... is that true? Unbelievable for Atai. It smells like lies."

Here, April realizes Knight's lies as soon as possible.

"April sniffs and divides lies. Lord Captain. There must be some kind of mix of lies in the current report, isn't there?

"A hell of a Captain Maris. Indeed, my fantasy (regro) did not secure Elba. That might have generated the smell of lies. In fact, Belle was the one who was at the front of the battle, and I was deliberately turned away by Elba."

Knight, who was about to be exposed to lies, told a new ingenious lie, without lacking calm. What Knight refers to here as a “battle” is a battle against another suspicious figure, the "white boy”. Knight lied without lying.

"Sure, April's talent for sniffing off lies isn't perfect. Even if she can smell the lie, she can't identify which part of it is a lie. We're gonna believe you here, Dissenber."

"You don't even make a sound. Surely Atai is incomplete as a lie finder..."

Knight was able to dive through this pinch beautifully. April's talent for spotting lies is troublesome, but Knight took it backwards. If you obscure an important part, you will no longer have to lie. Knight just told another story, and he's not lying.

"In other words, Elba, who jeopardized the captain's dreamer, would say he turned away to avoid a direct confrontation with the captain. Elba has enough power to keep the captain away"

"This has been a threat since the beginning of the Kingdom of Serbia. There is no doubt that the Emperor Elba holds a grudge against our King Sertoria people. Deal with it quickly or you'll be irrevocable."

September is followed by a voice of concern by Febrary. It is an undeniable fact that Elba does not intend to cause harm to the Kingdom of Sertria, but it is a threat to the Knights.

"Dear Gregorio, is it possible that even your supervision (Supervision) could not sense the presence of Elba?

"Ah. The trouble is, I couldn't identify the suspicious person by using my“ eyes ”. That's why we got Dissenber and Faust on the ground."

Gregorio answers Augusto's question. Gregorio didn't seem to be able to grasp what was happening in Valentis, even through supervision (Supervision), which seemed to foresee what was happening in the Kingdom of Sertoria.

I mean, only reports from Knight are a source for Gregorio. This was also a great opportunity to take advantage of the insurgency plan.

"Master Gregorio has the strength to dive through his supervision and stop the captain. We're going to need to take good care of it and mobilize all the power we can."

"Absolutely right. We must find Elba the Emperor as soon as possible and eliminate him before he can do harm."

Norbember and Captain Maris are just about to discuss measures against Elba. Knowing Elba's presence makes the M-12 more alert and sensitive to various movements in the country. This, in turn, is likely to create a state of difficulty for the insurgents to move.

"There's nothing we can do about not identifying Elba's location first. There's no better way than to have you guys look directly for me than to be captured by my supervision. Therefore, in order to find Elba, four investigation teams consisting of 30 people will be formed. Place one M-12 as leader in each investigation team. Adford, Rottervania, Valentis and Bres River, with survey team bases in four major cities, including surrounding areas"

"In Rottervania, the harshest environment, two M-12 will be placed. The remaining five will remain in the King's Capital, where they will be asked to prepare countermeasures to the threat while searching for Elba. Elba will most likely come after you because this is the king's capital. These five men must defend the King's capital, which is what the Knights want."

Gregorio was trying to find the emperor Elba, making full use of the powers that the Knights could have. The formation of an investigative team centered on the M-12, which boasts high strength among the Knights. That was the best measure Gregorio had devised.

If Elba is really lurking somewhere in this country, Gregorio's maneuver is probably the most effective one.

"Well... how do you decide the placement?

"Of course I decide. There is no other person besides me who can judge the right material. I know your black magic and qualities best."

"Sure... that's true"

Julai, hearing Gregorio's maneuver, spoken casual questions. The decision as to who would be placed in which area was all in Gregorio. Gregorio assigns M-12 in place.

The placement of the M-12 was then immediately decided. In the western city of Adford, Captain Maris is the january. In the northern mountainous region of Rottervania there are two people: Febraly and Jurai. In the southern city of Valentis, Oktober. Augusto was placed in the eastern city of Brace River.

"I want Norbenver to continue to focus on the treatment of Faust. April, May, and September will support the captain."

"Ha-ha-ha."

The five remaining in the Wang capital, Elixis, are April, May, September, Norbember and Dissenber. Knight was allowed to remain in Elixis. Norbember, who is in charge of Bell's treatment, is naturally also the Wang Du Residual Group.

"Gather the personnel you need immediately and make your way to the field as soon as you are ready. Elba is already on the move. The slower we respond, the more dangerous we will be. Hurry up and make sure you find the threat."

Thus the Knights of the Black Mages (Grigori) moved. In order to counter the invisible threat, they decided to shine a sight of surveillance throughout the Kingdom of Serbia.

Knight's report led the Knights to step up their vigilance. The M-12 is full of strong men each with no less strength than Knight. Such black magicians (grigories) become blood-eyed and begin their search for Elba. Is Knight really cooperating with Elba?

"The Knights found out about the survival of an emperor who was supposed to have perished… are you sure this was a good idea? It seems like the Knights just got more alert?

"I have nothing to worry about. To be honest, there were some parts of me that went on the bet, but it was as planned. Now I can disperse the nasty M-12. It must have been easier to flee the country."

Surprisingly, it was all within Elba's plan. I do not know where the emperor Elba lurks in the Kingdom of Sertria. Distribute the nasty M-12's power by letting Gregorio assume so. That was what Elba was all about.

"Indeed… with the nine and four remaining M-12s in the Wang capital, our ease of movement is as if it were different. Besides, if we can move forward with the operation properly, we'll just have to get through the august placed on the brace river."

"Under the influence of my powers, Gregorian supervision (Supervision) does not work. If those who cooperate with the emperor and emperor are not understood to exist only in the king's capital, the escape operation will always be successful"

As Elba thought, the M-12 was to be scattered throughout Sertria. If the M-12 stays scattered, it will be dramatically easier to flee the country. While quiet, a new revolt has already begun.

"An excellent fantasy (regro) september for April, who spots lies. May is also good at covert operations, and Norbember is near your number one. Besides that, Knights Commander… it will be hard to deceive them perfectly"

"Still, we just have to do it well. If we make one wrong step, we have to come to a total war with the M-12. Small failures are also unacceptable in this operation. When it comes to war, it's inevitable that the dead will come out."

"Belle, I don't want you and everyone in the M-12 to die. In order to do that, you have to carry everything well..."

M-12 shall be kept scattered. That's the key to this operation. If all of the M-12, except Knight, were to stand in front of the rebels, there would be less sacrifice. Maybe the absence of March and Jun is at least the salvation.

Knight was familiar with the members of the M-12 who had spent a long time together. The path Knight has chosen must be distinguished from his previous companions.

Even if they planted false memories and it worked as Gigi and the others thought, the time Night has spent in the Knights is real without dispute.

"That's right. Failure is not tolerated. Not only you, but all six rebels must do well. Naturally, it's the best way to avoid a single dispute."

"We have to rendezvous quickly and discuss what's going to happen"

"But Faust at heart doesn't wake up yet"

"Ah... right"

"I can't waste my time. Even without Faust, we can prepare for the operation. Let's meet up as soon as possible and tell everyone about the operation."

I was able to disperse the M-12 successfully, but Bell at heart keeps sleeping in Central Hospital. The biggest purpose of this operation is to get Bell, the Black Sarteen, out of the Knights.
