Continental Hero Senki

Something's happened recently, and I feel like a lot of strange customers are suddenly coming.

First Mr. Fine, then His Majesty Karel, and Brigadier General Trayval, followed by Lieutenant General Reyval this time. All aligned, freak...... no, I guess His Majesty Karel is better. If we ignore the point of being a rebel mastermind.

"... is that real?

I peeked into the monocular from the fortress tower, and I didn't mean to tell anyone, but I did.

The man standing near the North Gate entrance said he named himself Herbert Rebar.... There is no possibility of a false Lieutenant General. But that was denied by Mr. Maya, who stood next door.

"No, some of the royalist executives knew about him. Said it was real."

"... do you have a twin brother or something like that?

"If I were there, I'd report it."

"Right..."

If you look closely, the number of escorts is as low as eight. I don't know the intention of leading 20,000 generals into rebel strongholds with eight escorts, assuming.

"What do we do? Mr. Yuzef."

"There's nothing I can do."

The decision rests with the Commander-in-Chief, or His Majesty Karel. I don't know what to do...

Let me in.

"… Your Majesty!

Soon there will be a rumor behind it, His Majesty Karel. I didn't know there was a man here with Ninja qualities as well.

"Are you sure?

"I don't mind. Besides, I can't let you wait long under this cold sky." Be polite and welcome. "

"... Your will"

His Majesty was emphatic when he did the word "politely". The point is, while you're inviting in, do you want me to be vigilant enough?

In the meantime, I had orders from His Majesty Karel. Let his man in.

"Open the north gate. Let's get them inside. We welcome you with caution, bearing in mind the existence of the trap."

16 o'clock exactly.

In accordance with His Majesty's wishes, Lieutenant General Rival and others were invited into the fortress. However, it is not as a guest but as a prisoner. I ordered disarming, and I did a physical check to keep in mind... but I had nothing but a dagger for protection the sword for officers, and the escort was a light outfit.

Maybe all the escorts are cheat magicians (magicians) who have the ability to crush a fortress with one fist... If he were like that, Silesia would be doomed by now. But once on guard, all the escorts were held in solitary confinement, one by one, and also separated from Lieutenant General Rival.

Ma, we all followed all of this very well. Both the Lieutenant General and the escort are as dear as the cats they have borrowed. That's because of why he came here.

Right now, I'm relative to Lieutenant General Rival. We're in the same interrogation room where Sarah interrogated the captured prisoner the other day, and we're discussing it with him.

Oh, of course I'm afraid of traps. Maya is also present as deputy to Her Highness Emilia.

"Why are you here when you're very famous?

Several questions since Lieutenant General Rival came to the fortress. In response, the lieutenant general still replies several times.

"I've done it to surrender. If I could, it would depend on me fighting with you."

Apparently.

... Thanks for the frigid talk. Naturally, I doubt the trap, but I don't feel anything from Lieutenant General Rebar that makes me feel it.

Without a weapon, and even further apart from his men, he did not complain, and he almost rode into the fortress alone. That means his biocide is in our hands. Well, if you're a prisoner, that's natural...

"Why did you surrender?

"I was dissatisfied with the national sect, was I?

No. "Is that it? I don't care if they say so." It's hard to tell if it's a lie or a truth......

"What is dissatisfaction?

"... you know that, right?

... Huh? Do what?

I'll take a look at Mr. Maya, but she also shook her head quietly to the side. If Maya doesn't know, perhaps His Highness Emilia doesn't either. What's this all about?

"Don't you know? Oh, I see, is that what you mean? Convinced."

"What are you talking about?

"No, it's about this one."

Having said that, he never spoke of any new information on this day.

December 30.

I reported the results of the interrogations - rather than the talks - of Lieutenant General Rebar and the others to the five usual members, starting with His Highness Emilia.

"... 'Did you know'"

"Yes, I did say that"

Lieutenant General Rebar says the reason he has surrendered is "dissatisfaction". He was mistaken for us to know that. And when we take the attitude that we don't really know, we convince ourselves, and then Danmari. He didn't even say something like "surrender, let him work here" that he was persistently saying.

Relative to him all day, he finally didn't talk about anything. I decided it was a waste of time, and I came to talk to the others.

"Did you get any information from the other... Lieutenant General Rebal's escort?

His Highness Emilia answered that question by interrogating the escort while I was staring at Lieutenant General Rival, Mr. Fine.

"No, they don't seem to know anything. 'The lieutenant general said he was going to board this fortress, so he just asked me to escort him on the road'..."

"Is that all?

"That is all, Your Highness."

So the Rebar is the only one who knows all the circumstances?

"Even so, you hate that rival from your side for a long time."

And, suddenly, that sentiment popped up from Sarah.

"What do you mean?

"'Cause you said you were almost single in this fortress, and no one stopped you? The rest of the escorts felt like they had nothing to do with" just asking me to escort them. "

"Sure. Well, because you're notorious, that guy."

I ran away because it was a needle, so I might have believed it.

"Well, whatever Lieutenant General Rival and his reputation and popularity, the question is still why he came to the fortress. Do you know anything, Mr. Yusef?

If you know what it is, you can only imagine answering it because the person in question won't say anything. If I were in the enemy's shoes...

"At first, I thought it was Death Room."

"During death, is it? So you're saying Lieutenant General Rival and the others came here for the purpose of confusing the inside of the fortress?

This "Between Deaths" is one of the classic traps. Literally, the dead (spy).

They dare to be caught by the enemy, spreading false information and confusing it, and attacking that gap. The premise is that an enemy will catch you, so you will naturally be executed. That's why they call it "Death Room".

"But I didn't know why Lieutenant General Rival would do this himself. We all know his notoriety, so I don't believe in the information he says sooner rather than later, and it does now."

Well, this one has no disadvantages, so it's not a problem for me to let my dog die.

Then the purpose of Rebar dying in this fortress is to say, "Rebar is dead! Rokudenasi the royalist!" I thought it was an arithmetic to advertise, raise morale, and strike down the fortress at once... but I still don't think that's the same.

Like Sarah just said, he's not popular. You won't get morale where Rebal is dead and instead say "Rebal is dead!? Yay!" It is also possible that the division of the national sect will be accelerated if it becomes

Besides, as a major premise, the Nazis are still winning by total force. How robust this fortress will be, there will be too much difference in force and national power between the royalists and the natives, and sooner or later they will be brought into a long battle and defeated.

Whether during death or whatever, this kind of trap does not take place on the side where troops prevail. Because if you do it normally, you can win.

"... then you don't know the sapphire"

Mr. Maya held his head as he praised his face. Or they all look alike. Kind of funny.

"Either way, you better not move this one flashy. The offensive against Schumperk has been postponed."

"... right. There is no certainty that there are no traps."

No, maybe this is how they're going to make this move passive? Then move your troops now and at once... but make them think so and they may intercept us actively.

Oh, no. I'm out of here. I don't know which one is the joker.

Well, fine. Unlike Trump, I'm not saying it's either way. Let's do what we can.

"Radek"

"Hmm? What?

"As this is a trap, we might make this move passive and do a massive supply line destruction. Can 't you ask for enhanced vigilance and escort for heavy soldiers?

"Okay. Talk to the royalists."

"Please.... Maya."

"Hmm? What?

"We just have to watch the enemy move more than we can strike out of here. Strengthen your opponents."

"Right. The Kingsguard Cavalry..."

"I want to keep it warm as a showdown force, so please do it in the regular cavalry"

"Okay."

Radek solemnly, Mr. Maya leaves the room in a rigid atmosphere. Yeah, I think you have a good personality.

And then, do you have something to do... Oh, yeah. It's them.

"Mr. Fine."

"What is it? Major Yuzef."

"Continue interrogating the eight lieutenant-general escorts who have come. Even if you don't know about Lieutenant General's behavior, if it's the situation in Schumperk or in the capital, they will know too."

"Right. Let's do that."

That being said, I hear Mr. Fine leaves the room early to prepare for questioning. Speaking of which, what kind of interrogation are you in? No way torture...... Maybe I'll take a peek next time, I'm a little interested.

What a thought, Sarah comes to my side without making a sound, and she pulls her sleeve when she comes around. What's wrong with such a cute trick?

"Yuzef."

"What's up?

"That..."

That, I pointed out with my gaze, is the jitty eye of His Highness Emilia, the Lord of this room...

... Oh, yeah, yes. Erm. I did. I did it again......

"Mr. Yuzef."

"Yes. What is it, Your Highness?"

Scary. The words of His Highness Emilia contain a bit of anger.

"Can you help me with my errand a little bit?

I don't think I'm in this fortress where I can turn down that word with a very beautiful smile and the trace rage contained in that smile.

"Pleasure!

No, really, I'm sorry.
