Now that the battle with the Golem is over, we were checking the situation.

"What's the damage?

"About 300 people suffered minor injuries, less than 50 were seriously injured, and 18 people died. I think the damage is small."

A knight answered the general's question.

Apparently, the damage was small. In this world, even minor injuries can be healed easily with magic.

"I think so too. Thanks to Kite, too."

"Thank you very much. Just think of the last battle as a tougher battle because you've already used a trump card."

While thanking the General for his words, he reported using his hidden skills.

I don't know how much my skills have been compromised, but perhaps they have driven the General crazy.

I see. Well, I have some good news about the last battle. "

"Good news?

"One magic cannon was not destroyed."

"Eh!?

"I'm honestly surprised, too. I didn't think I could protect you. In fact, they were almost destroyed. Well, you're lucky."

Certainly lucky. Honestly, I thought it would be easy if I didn't protect you.

The knights must have worked hard to die.

"That's right. Now, I'm going to focus on protecting one of them."

"Oh, please. Without it, the last phase will change dramatically."

"I see. So, when are we going to split up with bandits?

"It's been a while since we crossed the border. They will attack the city in three parts: north, south, and south-east."

"Leo, will you ride the diversion properly?

If Leo had seen the thieves before, he'd have realized they weren't knights.

Then they'll be aware of our operation.

"This will definitely come on board."

"Are you okay? Something unexpected just now."

There was such a huge battle near the border when I told you there wouldn't be a fight. You don't know what's going to happen.

"It hurts when you say that, but I'm fine with that. Leon can't overlook the fact that the boulders will soon destroy the land that he has to manage."

Yeah.... Well, if Leo did, he might try to protect his citizens, even if he knew it was a diversion.

Except for Leo, there is a strong sense of justice.

"Well, I'll do my best to ripen up the work I've been given."

Anyway, it doesn't make sense where I stupidly put my mouth on the operation.

Then you should only think about what you can do.

"Oh, please do."

"Hey, Edmond, come out!

When my discussion with the general was over and I tried to get up, a loud yell came from the outside.

"Hmm? What's this voice?

"These are the bandits..."

Definitely. The voices of those people on the front line.

"Ha, I can't help it. Do you want me to do it?"

The general stood up with a sigh and went towards the bandits.

I'll follow you.

"What? Is it okay to take a break?

"I don't care about breaks! Explain it to me!

"What's the difference?

"We're here to help you because we heard you'd get the money easily. There's a dead man out there! You're not talking about it!

Looks like the bandits finally realized the horrors of war in the battle.

He's always bullying the weak. I don't suppose you've ever fought an opponent of higher strength.

"No, this is a war, right? We can't help making some sacrifices. Besides, it'll be easier. How many more of you would have died without the brave?

"Well, that's...."

"Ten times more certain."

"But! After this, we'll be acting differently from the brave ones, won't we?!

Huh? What are they talking about?

"Well, that's right... so what?

The general is stunned too.

"We were saved because we had a brave man this time, but if we didn't have a brave man, it would be dangerous!

Watch out, you're too stupid.

"Blu, what are you talking about? You've killed a lot of people, haven't you? Which one of you used to say you could drop the city before you left?

Gu

"And I'm mistaken... will the Empire send a lot of strong men to the brave? Do you want to get involved in that fight like you did today?

Hmm?

"I, no...."

Well then, that's good. We attract strong opponents and you weaken the Empire. You have a strong relationship, don't you?

"That's right...."

"Let your people rest until they leave. If we cross the border, we don't have time to rest."

"Roger that."

That's awesome. I can't believe I completely convinced those idiots with my mouth alone.

"Hmm, now there's nothing to worry about."

"It was amazing. I can't talk that well."

"Really? All you have to do is line up a convenient lie for them."

"I'm not good at lying."

It is often said that I am not good at lying to Elaine.

Maybe it's on my face. You can't lie to me like a general with a nice face.

"That's not good for the next king. When the war is over, I'll tell you what to do."

How about a king who's a good liar? Well, is it a loss knowing the technology?

"Ha ha ha. Thank you very much."

Side: leon's

As soon as I got back from the border, I was reporting to my brother Ivan and Bernold about the Kingdom's power.

"Unfortunately, we were unable to reduce the number of bandits. I just succeeded in destroying two magic cannons."

"Oh, that's good. Don't worry about the bandits. We're not afraid of bandits."

I see. I don't think it's possible to lose, even if it's a little tricky. "

"I see. All of Leo's knights are at a high level, and I wonder if they'll ever lose. There are also dragons."

"Yes, but remember that there are differences in the number of people. Well, I'm sure the three of you will be in charge there."

This time, I have decided to entrust Bernold, his brother, and Yunis with the command of the defenses of the three cities.

The reason for choosing these three is simply experience and strength.

Then he placed Hellman and Ivan with Bernold, Gil, the former Dragon King, and Gilles with Alma and Gillette, and evenly divided their forces.

It will be okay because it is strong enough everywhere.

"Besides, the problem is kite.... Stop, you should give up after all."

"That's right... Unfortunately, it would be better to ride on the opponent's thoughts. It's just that there aren't many people here."

There's nothing wrong with being impossible.

"Then I think the Northern Group will start first. When we're done, who are we going to ambush?

It was Mr. Eunice who made the statement.

"No, it's bad to leave a new job to someone who's tired of fighting bandits with a boulder."

Sure, I think Eunice and the others will finish as soon as possible... but you're physically tough.

"It's okay. Your knights are so fine. Because you have my skills."

"Okay... In the meantime, let's think about it after the Younis have fought the bandits. Anyway, it'll take at least two weeks for the kites to travel in those big numbers."

Well, let's do it on an ad hoc basis sometimes.

In the meantime, the primary goal is to get rid of the bandits quickly. Let's focus on this.

"All right, then, I'll transfer each one, so get ready."

Then I sent three of them to each of the major cities to prepare them for the bandit defeat.

It's the Knights of Muldeen's first job. We need everyone to do their best.
