Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Two days later, the Cilentium army barracks.

The Cilentium Army, which completed its task of bridging the banks of the Ineon River, which became a battlefield, managed to replenish one round of arrowballs by continuing to collect weapons for use on the battlefield.

However, it is necessary to re-grind the hand throwing arrows. In addition, the hammer may be misaligned or detached, and many items cannot be burned and used by the use of flamethrowers.

Even if metal parts such as hammers and hammers are dissolved, they can be reused, so the recovery work continues, but the efficiency could not be said to be good.

Nevertheless, the maintenance of weapons and protective equipment and the rest of the soldiers are also being implemented in turn, and the Cilentium army is steadily getting ready.

In the meantime Hal was touring the confluence of the Ineon and Ereil rivers with Adamantius and Bergan.

"It would be convenient to open a route from the Ereil to the Oranian Sea."

"Sure, if you're from here, there's no difficulty, you can get out to the Oranian Sea"

Looking at the waters of the Great River, Bergan responded, Hal said.

"But tribes on both sides… Oran on the left bank and Cliffonam on the right bank, do you need consent or peace"

says Adamantius.

It is true that the shores of the Ereil River, where several tribes, large and small, have sometimes been noted as river fishing and river traffic, but there is no such strong need or demand on the northern periphery where the forces in need of large-scale transport have not grown, and vessel traffic has never been established due to the complex entanglement of the area of power.

There was no need to dare to take transportation that could not be described as safe, and the Ereil River continued to exist for a long time as just a boundary.

"... well, I don't have time to say that right now..."

Hal sighed sadly.

Hal was planning to lead a Northern Legion soldier on an expedition to the Far North after defeating the Halemians, and a winter camp near Fradia after beating down neighboring Halemians.

It was Fradia's intention to carry out urban improvement projects with the assistance of Corps soldiers, as well as to decide on the treatment of refugees.

Basically, Hal was going to recommend moving to Fradia or Cilentium for those who are not willing to return, although they plan to return to their respective lands.

But when I saw the banks of the Ineon, I changed my mind.

Here it is easy to defend using rivers, as well as its future as a trading hub.

It will also not be so far from the home of the refugees, and it will be familiar to them.

"It's all since we recaptured Fradia."

Pompous and leaky, Hal turned back on his heels without waiting for a reply from the two of them.

We are to leave for Fradia the day after tomorrow.

A strong and cold wind rolled up Hal's cloak and left for the south.

Same day, near Fradia, a settlement of refugees

"... that the frustrations of the citizens of Fredia are accumulating?

"Yes, we have launched an overwhelming policy and have denied all measures taken by imperial proximity. As the victims and the injured and sick were dissatisfied with the destruction of the pharmacy, merchants and leading individuals have been incarcerated one after the other to say that they were receptive to the measures, and the closure of the learning center has caused resentment even to children.

One of the shady answers the maple question.

Hull asked us to scout for Fradia, and the maples decided to worry about gathering information in a complete covert operation, considering that their appearance stood out on the northern border.

They did not meet people, they did not find them, and the information relied exclusively on eavesdropping from the shadows.

The maples broke through the walls at night, passed through the freshly made sewer, or infiltrated Fradia in confusion over the load to be transported, gathering even information without drinking or eating for a day or two.

And at night, once they had gone out of the castle, the maples met in the refuge.

The evacuees knew the face of Prince Fried, who was acting with the Halemians, and the maples were aggressive in providing us with information on Fradia without having to ask.

It goes without saying that the support of the evacuees that was being provided by Fradia was cut off with Danford's entry into the castle, but in addition, supplies provided by the Cilentium were taken up by Danford as wartime conscription.

"What about the city's imperials? Safe?"

"So far... we've been pushed into the dungeon, but I was wondering if sooner or later it might be a stomach buildup to look at the folds and kill them all..."

"... what shall we do?

"The Danfords still don't seem to know that Sunnyoshi prevailed over the Barbarians. Perhaps Sekiyama is the one who leads the army to see Sunnyoshi and lose his hips."

When one of the shadows says, the atmosphere of laughter spreads like waves all around him.

Danford's naive gesture didn't even have to ask about the city's reputation, and he figured it out more than enough with the childish imperial elimination moves taking place everywhere.

"... but something snags me. The operation itself is frighteningly timed for such a foolishness. It's an operation like a beating, but a beating with a good chance of winning, right?

But even though Maple isn't convinced or the grin similar to the mockery of the Shades is directed at Danford, that's what I said and put my arms together.

It should also be said to be vivid, the operation.

Danford skilfully scratched the back of people's psyches, lured them off guard, and went about things all at once.

Danford's actions today are too good and incomprehensible to know as long as he knows the actions, maneuvers, and plots that are equal to his previous plays.

Not to mention the policy that we are now pursuing in Fradia, we could well deduce that its essence has not changed in any way.

"... indeed, who may have taken up the post of competent staff..."

When another shady man told him to twinkle so after he had conceived it, Maple made up his mind.

"... All right, I'll try to sneak directly into the royal castle!

This has to figure out what's going on and what's causing it.

If the shady man was right and the staff member was in office, I wanted to see what the staff member was capable of and who he was.

"… serve you"

"Me too..."

Two extraordinary hand-worked men among the shady offer to accompany them to Maple.

"Yeah, nice to meet you!

Fredia Castle, between kings

Maple and the two shady men passed through the sewer laid by Talpeius into the town of Fredia Castle and went straight to the main castle in the shade of the night.

The Fried warriors are competent, but sometimes the Frieds themselves do not weigh in on shady work or espionage, and I don't see how they are wary about being snuck into a spy.

Either the citizens, now ethnic people, were guarded against the bees and movements of the inhabitants living in the castle town of Fradia.

As a result, the maples could enter the Castle of Fradia without receiving anything.

Fredia Castle was idle.

The court officers and those who were working downstairs have been killed, and no one has returned who could have escaped so painfully.

Since then, Danford hasn't hired anyone to work in the castle, so it's hardly popular.

Maples convey empty rooms and balconies with no people, approaching between kings.

Along the way, there were some rooms that seemed to be high-ranking, but after a while I was wondering how things were going, Fried's Warrior Chief and Flink's Warrior Chief returned.

All the other warriors were sleeping in the barracks, and they did not find anyone in the status of staff officers.

Maple thought that if he explored Danford's condition, he might know about the presence or absence of a staff member, and headed among kings.

On the back between kings, making sure that the place usually filled by escort warriors was empty, the maples lurked from that place to every place between kings.

After a while, the door sounded open, and a young man, Danford, entered among the kings as he spoke in a slightly higher voice.

I can hear you talking uninterrupted.

When Maple saw it, surprisingly, Danford was alone with no escort and had a black box in his hand.

"... So what do I do?

'It's easy, the Empire's heavily armed infantry lacks mobility, you just have to pull off the infantry and the cavalry and push them with a long shot. Imperial soldiers have no power to exchange against Finn light cavalry or Siluha light bow cavalry. Also vulnerable to heavy cavalry assaults, because they are not equipped with spears. There are ways to deal with cavalry if it is a dense party of Western nations, but infantry cannot beat cavalry'

"But it's a soldier that Fried doesn't have, right?

"It would be good to hire, the Finns are a nomadic people, but also a trading people. You should hire the money stored in the Cilentium for consideration. '

"I see... it's just like hiring a warrior or hiring a freedom warrior. You're just gonna be interracial..."

The maple and the shady stand ear to ear as they feel something thin about the sight.

Danford's words could have been known even if he was somewhat deaf in lip reading, but he didn't know where the person he was talking to was.

Voices heard from the black box that Danford obviously has.

Its voice, full of scoundrel and resentment, but the maple whisks a thin, beautiful brow because it feels familiar with its voice.

'... nobody will come here, open the box. Relax. You can't even lecture. "

"Okay, okay, wait a minute."

While Danford was stunned by the voice of the box, he placed the black box on the desk where Bergan was using it, and removed its front lid.

"Um, I can't see my face, so I don't taste it."

"I don't want to see your scary face..."

As Danford said before the black shrimp, Altrius replied with a grunting voice.

"Well, I didn't like it this way, because your father, Alford, took my neck and brought it back to this land?

"I know that... but I didn't know you could talk, Altrius"

"Ha ha, I can't even do it. My seal has finally weakened recently, so my vengeance can be forged!

A delightful voice sounded among the kings with a laugh.

…… Mr. Altrius? Why? "

Maple's eyes opened in amazement.

But when I was surprised to see how things were going, it was called Altrius. Shimotobe is not like Altrius, who knows Maple.

Words resent each other and there is no happiness at all.

All there is is is even a grudge and a will to curse.

"... is it fake?

It's not a fake, my daughter.

Creepy voices echo among kings as accidentally exposed to leaked maple voices.

"What's up, Altrius?

Leaving room for Danford, who speaks in surprise, Altrius continues to speak to the maple, who is hiding himself.

I don't know if he's here, but I'm the neck of disaster, the neck of Gaius Altrius? Fake is out-of-heart '

It was a gawky, shivering maple with amazement and fear, but when he sounded his tongue slightly and sent a lifting signal to the shady, he himself escaped to the outside of the room.

"What's the matter with you?

Danford asks Altrius again how he still doesn't understand what's going on.

Altrius replies with a tone of voice that contains a tone of fright.

"The Lord will make a dull one too, the middlemen have gone astray."

"Become, what!?

In the words of Altrius, Danford finally rushed out among kings.

I know you went to get the warriors, but they're stupid to make.

"Isn't it unpleasant to leave me like this... umm, missed a candidate, but no one else... it's not easy to get revenge"

That's what Altrius' sigh of black sighs said, and then he shut up.
