Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

"- If you have nothing to fix your body, please make sure you are seated firmly on the floor"

Scion makes an onboard announcement using a voice tube.

"How's everyone on board?

"You look calm"

"It seems a little cramped... But... we're all sitting tight."

Marcesca and Siglitta look around and tell us about the crystal plate monitor.

Good. Then you won't have a problem with that.

"Well then, Alpha, let's go try not to shake it"

I'm the one sitting in the cockpit. We must try not to strain the reinforcements' generals on board in as much haste as possible, and then ensure that the loaded luggage does not collapse.

To my word, Alpha is quietly waving her tail as she sits next to the cockpit. I can go anytime, that's why.

Okay, let's get going. Announce it again with a voice tube and take a needle to the northern front line while slowly surfacing the Sirius. Loaded with luggage and personnel, the strain on the floating furnace increases for that matter.

Reduce the burden by setting altitude to lower instead. Camouflage around fields of light and wind magic, while proceeding to destination at a gentle acceleration.

"I guess this is the place"

Maintain velocity and needle as it is where it has accelerated sufficiently, unconcentrate and face up.

"I have heard that Houshin has already engaged with Shawen's faction several times."

and your front leans your neck.

"The fort and a strip ahead of us are... once taken away by Showen's invasion, and that's in the form of Lord Houshin pushing it back and taking it back with a counter-attack, isn't it? From there, there's a constant stare."

Seylan answers your question.

"It's not the information that Nong et al have gathered. They say the bandits broke out before Showen's invasion. The bandits attacked the village on a foggy night and set fire to it, so the people fleeing from it rushed into the city... not that the enemy army moved in line with the march to crusade from the city and fort"

"It's... no matter what you think, that bandit is a separate unit of the Regular Army."

Acorn frowned at Genlai's words.

"I didn't expect to burn the village for Yang Dynasty..."

Yura closes her eyes and waves. Right...... I don't even have the choice of means. I turned my attention to the houshin across the crystal plate monitor and said quietly.

"After all, I don't have any evidence because I let the bandits get away. Fortunately, no one died from the inhabitants just because they were burned out when the bandits attacked them...... I guess this is an enemy operation. '

Operation. To dare let you escape into the neighborhood, right? Not because my conscience blamed me for not letting the dead out, but because I made the village useless and made it even more burdensome to shelter the burned people.

Even though there has been confusion, there is no reason to be a mere bandit group around being able to escape a trained army under the Hoosin flag.

"Indeed... in the investigation of Lord Genlai's disciples, we were told that Showen was moving the bandits and causing confusion everywhere."

When Grace asks, Genlai takes it and answers.

"To sum up the story, there are several reasons to guess so. Can I borrow some of this?

"Go ahead."

Nodding at Genlai showing chess pawns.

On the map on the table - Genlai leaves the chess pawn. It was across factions everywhere.

That's - it seems to be the scene of bandit raids that have taken place everywhere since Showen received Zen concessions.

"You see common parts of bandit M.O. that show up all over the place. Whatever the difference between convoys, countryside, etc., the target suddenly shows up and loots supplies, leaving to leave. I see that the person seen as the leader is the same as collecting witness testimony. And there was a discrepancy in the timing of the bandit raid..."

Across each faction, it was the Genrais who were moving against Showen, which is why I noticed, right?

"From the above, we guessed that something like Showen's guerrilla squad would be sweeping around the place... maybe we should change our minds a little bit when we have treasures like the Cyrus black flag"

Prince Kai said as he conceived.

"Like that black flag, there's a treasure on the spot that calls for gestures, is it possible?"

"Yes. I'm afraid of that"

"That's a good chance. Given the fact that the bandits are getting away so well, I wonder if they can make war or turn it off."

It is the same treasure because it is the Warcraft that can be called from the black flag. I was storing the cow my deputy used, that treasure... on the other hand, it's small. I wouldn't have spared it if I had a hand tag.

Anyway, the Northwest raid is to make it look demonic. This is a strategy to increase the burden by acting like a bandit and leaving survivors behind. Appropriate staffing of materials.

"We are not informed about such guerrilla units"

Goryo and the others say. Hmm. Showen is on the side of leveraging the information that Goryo and the others have gathered, so there's no point in giving the information to a spy, I guess.

"I guess the quickest way to ask the Cyrus."

"... if that's all the specific circumstances you know... even those who have trained their bodies and minds will appear on the surface of their minds..."

I nodded to Rosemary's words as if Satori knew what he was talking about.

"If we can get the information right, we might be able to spot it while we're moving around."

"Mm-hmm. If you have witness testimony, you can make a sketch, too, I bet."

Sheila says. Oh. Do you want the Bandit Guild sketcher to help you? There's that, too. The loading of supplies can be shortened thanks to the golem... It sounds like a good idea to say we'll be interacting with Termwilds on a crystal plate monitor at some point in the move.

We've got a schedule, but we're going around anyway. The Bandits. Let's just say we're mindful of the trend in the guerrilla force. If you have a black-flagged treasure that can call your head count to the spot, there's still a part of you that you want to crush before you fight Showen.

While we're talking about that, the destination is approaching. The fort I was talking about is directly in front of me. If you look in the right hand direction...... you can also see the burned rural ruins in the distance.

Oh to that sight...... there are a lot of things to think about, but let's just say I'm going to finish the job of transporting soldiers and supplies first.

The fortress - was built on a cliff overlooking a river so large that you couldn't see the opposite shore. They have an urban area near downstream.

In short, across the river, the other side is the dominion of Showen. This side is the land ruled by Houshin.

The terrain of the hard-to-attack fort corresponds to the invasion in urban areas. If there is an attack on a city, it will be a base from upstream down the river or through land where you can pinch the enemies that have invaded the city. Conversely, if a fort is attacked, there will be an attack from the city.

The Sirius has also arrived at its intended location, slowly slowing down -.

First take those who were the lords of the generals to the fort.

It will mean handing over the letters, etc. from Houshin, informing the person in charge of the scene that he has brought supplies and an increase in personnel, and then laying down the Sirius.

The General who guards the fort already has a circular about the Sirius.

Later... just in case. While we're unloading supplies, as time permits, we'll see if there are any surgical traps left when the fort is repaired or the enemy abandons it.
