Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

When I finished eating, and everyone's reactions split between the Hokhok-faced and the Gessol-faced. A final operational meeting had been held in the camp.

"That sucks...... Something's become a habit..."

"What?"

"No, it's nothing. Master Yuki, our troops are ready, so you can leave whenever you want."

"That's reliable. Tomorrow, please?

"Ha!"

"By the way, Master Yuki?

After Troop Leader Argus salutes as he deludes himself in some way, Sylvia from the reconnaissance unit continues to ask questions.

"What do those prisoners do? Are you taking me with you?

"... you're concerned they might be after you from behind?

"Yes, they're still shallow, so it's a little dangerous to believe unconditionally."

When Sylvia spoke of such a naturally worthy concern, Yuki laughed and began to talk about the measures.

"On that issue… I may be called cowardly, but I am thinking of taking hostages"

"Hostages...... oh, I see. If you rebel, you threaten to kill the hostages, right? (I thought about this proposal... a wise man.)"

".................." muh

"(Sounds like it...) But they're the ones who come back to life even when they die, right? Does that make sense?

"Indeed, for them, where death is not the end of their lives, the murder of hostages will not seem to be an effective handhold. But I don't think hostages matter, depending on how you use them."

"Could that be..."

"I hope not," chuckles.

I said, Yuki with a smile. Though she did not directly say what she would do, Sylvia, or others who were listening to the story, seemed to read the lines clearly between them. In other words, we'll send them back after we've drugged them and destroyed their spirits. How horrible a hell it is for them not to die outside of life, not sure how much life is left ahead, but to be forced to live an unfettered life with their spirits destroyed until that moment when they complete their tenure...... Exactly, all I could say was I couldn't imagine.

After mouthing it, Yuki adds an explanation on prisoner-related matters.

"By the way, in this operation, we're going to get them to work, too."

"Just don't treat me as a prisoner," he said?

"I asked for asylum, so I'm going to ask you to do the right thing. I've been destroying our country for as long as I can, so I don't want to go to asylum." Nico.

…………

"But I'm not trying to get you to do anything inhumane or anything very painful. I want them to act as negotiators."

"Negotiator? Let the Eclerian soldiers of Rottgarten negotiate that if you don't get out of town, you're going to attack them?

"That's part of it, but it's more of a draw."

"Pull in...?

"Yeah, there was a little maneuver, and that requires more captives —— it also requires captives of their own free will. I can't talk about it because it's still an empty theory on my desk, but when it gets more realistic, I'm going to explain it in more detail."

Yuki said so and turned her gaze to the wise. Beyond that the wise man also looked at Yuki, and seemed to have narrowed his eyes with tenderness. Perhaps a wise man set up some kind of operation.

"... whoa. I wonder what it's like to stare at each other?

Both Yuki and Sage looked forward with a bitter smile at Null's such allegations. You thought you couldn't help pointing that out, although the null you were watching was not going to boil off somehow...... Ha, I exhale and then start talking to everyone.

"This time Rotgarten, as I've been there before, is a town where our country Boreas prides itself on a collection of national treasure magic props. I don't know if the other side will make use of those magic props, but I want you to think about the worst and think about it as something you will make use of and get things right. I want you to pay particular attention to the magic tools that disable magic. It was originally developed to keep the witches' magic under control, but there is a denial that this main force could be a greater threat than an attack using magic."

"Dear Null. What is the effective range of that magic prop?

"Hmm... it's roughly 10 km from where the magic props are located"

"Wide!

"Oh. It's too wide for me to be in the main force, so it's gonna be a battle first —— whoa. As a precaution against those hated elves, I placed them in Rottgarten."

"" "………" "Gitto…"

"... anyway. When you get inside that magic prop, you can't use magic."

A wise man asks a question against a caution that can be said to force half of the null that

"By the way, what if you tried to use such great magic that that magic prop overloads?

"Hmm, I don't know. I've never done it before... But there is no doubt that unexpected things will happen. Worst case scenario, every town could explode."

"... sounds like it would be better not to do something too forceful"

"That's right. If we're going to drop Rotgarten, we'll need to sneak inside first and destroy this demon prop. Well, if you're going to make a surrender recommendation, why don't you just stop at that? Ains would be able to do that."

"I wish I could..."

If you can finally destroy the magic artifact, why don't you finally take control of Rotgarten as well... Yuki seems to have thought about that, but in fact, he thought that was the best time to be able to destroy the magic artifact... It was after this that they began discussing specific ways to stop the magic props that invalidate magic.

Well, actually, I've already got some plans for the operation, and I just made a final check on which of them I'm going to employ.
