Illis throws a man named Earl on the ground.

He was returning where he escorted him to the neighbouring village with Durahan, who summoned the escaping villagers.

Then retrieve the commander who was trapped in the ice coffin.

It was a village full of madness, but Ilis, who trusted [Labyrinth Adaptation], had reached the Commander by sewing among the soldiers who were going to kill each other.

He was a general in the middle of a dispute, but was ironically protected while exposed to the risk of frostbite thanks to his presence inside the ice coffin.

"You look familiar. But Major Freipetos of the Royal Army... no, now you're a general because the seat above is empty"

"... you're right"

"What the hell is going on?"

"You seriously think it's easy to give information to your enemies?

"It's a matter of looking at the situation and judging."

The Royal and Imperial armies are killing each other.

As things stand, though divided into enemy allies, the momentum is such that it will continue until one of them is wiped out. Besides, in the worst case scenario, when one side is wiped out, the allies may start killing each other.

It must definitely stop.

"No more Royal Army or Imperial Army. Now we have to stop killing as one person."

……

General Freipetos does not answer.

Then I'll give you a hint instead.

"This general is taking his family hostage."

"You......!

Instruct Illis to say what happened with the general.

Even though I had no choice in that situation, I regret that I have now communicated the situation in which I am placed.

"And then the order the general was under was' the slaughter of villagers'. When you look at where the majority of the villagers were killed, the orders may have been fulfilled, but not everyone was killed."

"I mean, as a result of weighing the family and the villagers, you prioritized the family."

General Urfrog beats General Freipetos.

"Shame on you!

No matter how many enemy countries, it's a big problem, such as the tragic murder of an irresistible villager.

General Urfrog driven by the desire to remain executed. But General Freipetos is the one with the most information on the current situation.

"Who was giving you orders?

"I don't... it's true! All the exchanges with them were made by letter. That's why I haven't seen their faces, and there's nothing like clues."

"So how did you decide your family was being taken hostage?

Possible madness.

"I became a general from the credit of a successful coup. From the people who had pledged allegiance to the previous king, they would be the object of hatred. That's why I had an escort on my family to protect. But only the head of the escort was delivered to me"

It wasn't fake or anything, but I could really feel people breathing.

It was found that the body delivered retained a person's warmth and that not so much time had passed.

If you look, you might be able to find the killer.

But I couldn't do that.

"I still used my general position to hire an excellent escort. They were dying in frightened shapes. If you defy someone like that, you don't know what kind of wife and daughter you're holding hostage against."

Besides, the contents of the order were not difficult.

In this war, there will be a massacre in the village closest to the border.

It was a war situation, and I thought if it happened in an enemy country, it would delude the upper echelons of the army who didn't know the scene.

"For the majority of my men, it only explains the siege of the village"

The closest proximity to the border makes it a den of secret detectives. For this reason, it is necessary to keep a siege on the villagers so that they do not escape until they have quantified the village. I was told it was a necessary test for the future kingdom.

"Fortunately, it was in the position of general. I had the right to choose sides freely."

Thirty knights who entered the village were being told the truth about what they would do in the village.

They were bloodthirsty by the coup. They were looking for a battlefield. I was happy to accept a situation where I could wave my sword for it.

"Apparently my role was to bring the Royal Army this far"

Soldiers who were besieging the village are also being hit by 'madness' and participating in the massacre.

"That means you don't know what's going on in the village."

"Oh."

……

I'm not going to get any more information.

"Take him."

"Ha."

General Freipetos to be taken prisoner.

It is up to the Imperial Army to decide what treatment they will receive in the future.

"... what should we do?

I don't have a clue.

But there's no way I'm holding my hand like this.

"General, okay?

"… Your Majesty!

Rio was sneaking up to the battlefield.

I didn't realize it was confusing until the emperor could talk to me because I was dressed like an adventurer, not the clothes the emperor would wear when I was in the conference room.

"A childlike voice I heard earlier. It will be obvious that there is a cause for the array. Then we need to find out what the voice is."

"But I don't have a clue"

"If it's a clue, I got it from an earlier story."

General Freipetos, who had been threatened.

The content of the order is' Massacre in this village '. I dared to have a place.

"Maybe there's some kind of 'special' in this village. You are more familiar with the village. You know anything about that?

"Even if they say so..."

Nothing comes to mind.

"If so, I guess it's because of you"

"Aren't you?

Rio's gaze is directed into the village.

I agree.

"There's something strange in the village."

"What the hell..."

"I don't know. The madness is swirling all over the village, making it impossible to see clearly"

Village with anomalies.

I tried [appraisal] first to identify the cause, and it is inhibited by some force covering the entire village. But I'm pretty sure he reacted to something.

Rio is similarly aware in [Appraisal].

"The cause is in the heart of the village. Let's go destroy it."

"Oh, are you going to go into this misery?

We are splitting into enemy allies and slashing each other.

Simply stepping into such a situation is dangerous.

"We still have to do something with our hands that's safe. I'm the only one who knows the exact location. Follow only those who have the courage to follow."

……

The knights hesitate.

If you're unlucky, you're likely to die.

"Hey, I guess the reward plays even more because you stick your neck in such a dangerous situation"

It was the Lattel who named him.

"Naturally. Instead, protect me."

"Absolutely. The same goes for the reward, but some of the guys that went into it are our youngsters. There's no reason to be abandoned."

Some of the mercenaries who stormed included the Red Ghost Mercenaries.

The only thing that was safe was the resistant captain and deputy captain.

"I'll work with you."

"Ouch!

Mercenaries name one after another.

It was the head of the regiment class that was safe. I couldn't watch my men, who I had raised on hand salt, fight and die with insanity.

"Let's help."

We work together dressed as Phantom Mercenaries.

There should be no unnaturalness in the present situation.

"Okay. We, the knights, will cooperate. If anything happens to His Majesty, the knight's name is broken."

"Okay, you're ready. Neither the Royal Army nor the Imperial Army matters. Go in there with the intention of rescuing all these insane people."
