Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Proficiency in air combat equipment, mock warfare within a fortress. Then evacuation training in the settlement.

Training is not of such a nature that I can say that I have had enough of it, but I intend to do what I can for a limited time.

I want to make sure that there is no damage not only to the people in the settlement, but also to the houses and equipment, if I wish. Even if it can be repaired by magic to some extent, it doesn't feel good.

Time slipped by as I reported the status quo over the crystal plate monitor with King Melvin, King Demetrio, and Queen Eldrane, or trained in the time to wait for the enemy to come out.

And -.

"I'm here! It's enemy scouts!

Scion, who was monitoring Tiers' monitor positioned at the top of the ice fortress, raised his voice to let me know.

What came was a medium-sized military ship. The knights on the flying dragon accompanying the ship.

They've turned their normal fighting power with excellent speed first and foremost as a scourge. Where the ship departs, the Seekers placed in the capital capture it from a distance.

Explorers now have a view of the city and the harbor while arranging near the capital center… it's a state of integration with a slightly larger private roof to ensure a wider perspective.

"Calculating travel speed… I guess faster than a regular sailboat"

"... like a ship in the Kingdom of Glowfonica, maybe it's equipped to sail outside the wind. And so did the covert ships."

Albert showed his hand on his chin to conceive. The ship's performance exceeds that of a normal sailboat… well within the scope of the assumption.

The scouts - they're not going to pull it off. The ice fortress would be a distance already in sight.

Looks like they're approaching us just like that, waving the flag at the bow. Of the two accompanying flying dragons, one leaves the rear standing by and the other comes forward.

Is that what you want to talk about? As a first hand at seeing how they come out, it could be effective. Is it so belligerent that there are no islands to tackle, or is it sensible to the extent that if you are a messenger, you talk and let them live and give it back? Are you saying it's smart to keep Fei Long waiting in the rear in case of a time?

Not a bad hand if you're tasked with seeing how the deep fishmongers are doing. Are you trying to figure out who is behind the Deep Fishman tribe?

I guess I'm getting instructions after assuming the situation. I don't think it's a hand that reflects Adalberto's character.

'What do you want to do?

and is asked to respond to the Sirius by the warrior chief on the fortress side.

"If you want to talk, you should be vigilant. I can't give you the pretext that you attacked without question. Is the question in terms of who will respond?

If you're going to put the Deep Fishman tribe forward and convey this will - maybe it's better to reveal that slave magic is solved. It's a project that can't be shaken up for them anyway. I blew slave magic with the power of my eyes, but let me think.

There's actually a hand in post-war processing that makes cover stories and deludes you that you were taking demon props out of the castle and disarming them, and if it's an artwork that only a deeply fisherman tribe with eyes can do, the irregular disarming method ceases to make sense as information.

Conversely... how to inspire your eyes all the time to show that sight to the messenger and make him think he can't play the effects of slave magic without dominating his actions? In that case... the customer reads that there is a time limit for activating the eyes, etc., and may stiffen the protection in order to drain them.

That's just gonna be a lot of trouble. I want to avoid it if I can even do this one.

Emerico, who is on the fortress side, nodded and said explaining those various thoughts.

'If that's the case, maybe I should come forward, too. They know we're chewing one anyway, so it won't give them any information for me to show my face here.'

"I've known about Lord Emerico for a long time, but he's got some bargaining skills."

And the Marquis of Balfour laughed and told me. Yeah, I guess. You won't be able to count on me if I'm not as talented as that to work with Folgaro.

"So can I ask you for this occasion? I'll come over there in disguise, too. If it's a trap, you'll need someone who can do the defense."

'Thank you. Now, don't worry, I'll get the job done. Let's lay low and show them the information we need to lay low.'

Emerico gracefully salutes. I'll head to the fortress too... gather the meeting in the limited time before the ship approaches.

Slightly short of time for a perfect mouth-to-mouth match. Emerico, who is good at negotiating, will dominate the response to them. As for the policy, it seems okay for me and Emerico to leave it to you because it seems to be broadly consistent.

As such, me and Emerico, the elders and the warrior chiefs, dressed in Orchius' disguise, move all the way to the outer perimeter of the fortress.

A warrior chief with three more spears raised a loud voice about the time his voice reached the approaching ship.

"That's it! I'm not accepting you into our fortress! If you can't stop, move on to the attack!

To the words of such a warrior chief, Forgallo's ship turns back and a man on a flying dragon calls for a halt with his hands.

"Wait! Our mission is not a battle!

You didn't tell the people in the capital they weren't willing to fight. He must have come to visit the hostilities in the name of the negotiations.

At least, it would have been conveyed in the first voice of the warrior chief that the slave magic inflicted on the deep fishmongers was not functioning at the earliest. There's Emerico and the unidentified Beastman with him, because.

"Do a good thing about the bug... If you think about the many years of work that you've done for us, you'll know a hundred things about being a business belly! Enemy with us. Whatever they say. You can't make a difference there anymore, and you can't trust someone you plotted to negotiate with once! Therefore, it is not up to us to invite you inside our fortress and give you information! Fighting is not the end of the battle, so let's get through the good and the white!

The elder, who had his magic wrapped around his wand, raises his voice.

I emphasize it as our fortress, but it would also be convincing there because I made it look fantastic inside: an ice fortress. Makes you think of yourself as a deep fishmonger tribe subject, and because you have the help of your eyes, makes you think of yourself as an artist. So… I don't know if Adalberto will be satisfied with the report at the rear, but the false information will be scattered as much as possible, and the information I want to convey will be conveyed in the dark and let me guess in the direction I want.

"Everyone in the Deep Fish Nation wants a peaceful life - but you are wounded to the tibia. You can't throw it away, can you? If you still want to tell me something, let me ask you something here."

Emerico says, a knight on a flying dragon frowns.

"Lord Emerico... if you think you disappeared from the capital, were you still involved in one of the ports? Your Majesty knows about this, doesn't he?

"I'll leave that person's intentions to your imagination. By the way...... did you like the gift of the arrows? We had a hard time secretly preparing ourselves for the decision."

And when Emerico grins, the knight on the flying dragon is slightly awkward.

That's how you smell information that reverses our speed until we deal with it. He says he's been carefully investigating and preparing. That is enough information to make Western ocean nations think that information would also be passed on and rooted out.

In a situation of growing tension with neighbouring countries rather than neighbouring countries…, it cannot be overstated for Forgallo that there is an enemy base in the sea near the capital. We must suppress it as quickly as possible.

"... stupid. Sure, I was amazed at this fortress, but such as the rapids I just built with this kind of ice... Even though we can help with the treasure, we know how many warriors and settlers live here, don't we? If it can't be a threat to the Principality, it's just a matter of letting them know."

If there is no room for legitimate negotiation, is this a blackmail? I don't know how much you value the fortress, but he's not going to break a strong posture.

"So are the fishmongers. I don't know if you saw the Guardian Beast that night, but you are not the enemy of the Duchy now. Wouldn't it be better for you to surrender to the throne? Now His Majesty Adalberto will forgive you with a generous heart. It's a smarter choice to entrust yourself to honor as a member of the Principality."

"Shit! We're not slaves if we're the earliest!

An elder poking at the sweet words of a knight. The knight flaunts his shoulders, but sends a glimpse towards me.

"Do you care about me?

When I told him that, the knight laughed lightly.

"I don't care, you're lying."

"He's a traveler named Orchius. I'm on the brink of finding an example necklace over the bottom of the ocean. We shall know the plight of the people of the same sea, and we are aided by righteousness."

After naming him that name, he strips the fangs off his face.

"But well - this is hard. It's worse than listening. You've wrongfully taken away other people's possessions and now you're honored and so on... even if it's a good idea for a knight to be named."

Engage the fighting spirit and point the cutting edge of the coral spear at the knight on the flying dragon. The knight laughed bitterly, even distorting his expression for a moment hatefully at my provocation.

"Apparently...... there's no room for negotiation. You're sorry, aren't you?

"That's what I've been saying since the beginning. Is there any regret or dust?"

"You go home and tell the Lord. Come if you want. I'll be your opponent."

To such a warrior chief and my words, the knight went back with the ship with his nose ringing. Well, as a declaration of war from the Deep Fish Nation and us, is this the place? I know Adalberto has heard about us visiting Glowfonica, but we need to be careful if we move within our expectations to the point that we're involved in this case.
