After ascertaining the safety in the fort, the cavalry Mr. Bridget was taking comes out of the main gate of a horse and gives a report to His Highness Astina.

'Glass. We'll talk to General Alejandro more than this. Though this is the victorious form, the enemy soldiers remain almost intact. I hope we can ask for the other way out first rather than pushing for suggestions that have a benefit here'

'Yes, I did. Your Highness... may we also use magic and watch the negotiations so that the signs are not understood?'

Moving forward, His Highness put aside just a little lost - it's unusual for her to hesitate about something. Tensions are also transmitted here.

'... will you be able to disable enemy soldiers whenever possible? What we talk about is a curtain building located in the center. If enemy soldiers appear to be positioned in a position where they can see them, they have never gone beyond alert.'

'Ha... I understand. I'll make sure you do it.'

'Glass...... sorry. Do something dangerous to you, the military doctor. I beg you to rely so much on Presha and not force it.'

His Royal Highness takes sixteen Kingsguard knights under his command and eight cavalry following them each - one hundred and twenty-eight into the fort. Mr. Raquel was entrusted with the maintenance of the siege, staring from the saddle of the giant horse so as not to miss an inch of enemy movement.

Once Mr. Presha leaves his horse to his men under his command, he walks back here. When you use a spear to stretch, those eyes increase sharpness.

"... Doctor, you don't have to worry. I'm not what I used to be... because my teacher made me change."

"I'm not worried. I just thought it was very reliable."

"Huh... well, yeah. Doctor, is something suddenly settling down? If it had been a while ago, I would have been in a hurry."

"Ah... yes, no, if you looked great, I apologize, I just said what I honestly thought"

"I have to say that the 'honest thought' is a problem for me and Leslie... we're gonna have a hard time together."

"... because I'm used to it"

I'm also curious about what you two say, but touching the candlestick is going to be a snake. Now we have to focus on what we have to do.

"Mr. Presha, I was able to speak to His Highness via a covenant with the Divine Tree. We'll go inside the fort and before we do, we'll move to prevent your highnesses from dangers. There is no denying the possibility that the enemy will move while we are in dialogue with the enemy general"

"If we all drag them out of the fort... what a way to do it, I guess that's what they'll resist. We don't die easy, but we have to avoid a fight between our men."

"I think that's what your Highness thinks, too. Leslie, I wonder if you could ask for some magic to erase the signs."

"Yeah, okay. Spirit of the Air Aeria… Turn the air that wraps us into a constant bluff…"

In an undercover mission, Leslie's power exerts unparalleled power. We became 'unrecognizable beings even when we were there', walking through the main entrance of the broken fort unnoticed by anyone.

First we move to a place where there are no people nearby - the enemy soldiers and soldiers on this side are staring at us in front of the central curtain toward which His Highness headed.

An enemy soldier who has abandoned his weapon is placed in front of an armed cavalry. I observe that mood, but they would have asked us to do the same if they had been in our fortress.

"Chloe's troops are forming on the north hill. If you don't mind on the north wall... there are two watchtowers looking out into the camp, the central west and the east"

"Okay, let's disable the lookout...... noin?

"... if Alejandro does something... use his men and throw them away... this fort..."

Noyne's eyes aren't the sight in front of him, they seem to be looking at a different place somewhere.

Has Alejandro caused her so much hatred? Or is that fear of approaching the person who used to follow you?

"Noin, is it likely that we can make some guesses as to how General Alejandro will get out?

"Eh... I'm sorry. I... have to get over that guy..."

"... it's okay. When we get here, we'll never let the enemy general do what he wants."

Leslie holds Noyne's hand. And wipe the sweat off your neck - Noyne shook Leslie's hand back and that body tremor only softened a little.

"... Alejandro is sure to do something. We need to reduce his pawns a little bit."

"Well, I'll go to the east watchtower first. The soldier on the watch deck can pass out with a spear, but what do we do?

"There's me for times like this. Leslie, get your air balls ready."

His Royal Highness now accompanied his men and thought Alejandro was in the curtain - I summoned Arlaune in the shadows and approached the eastern watchtower.

Enclose Arlaune's hypnotic pollen on Leslie's made air balls - if you try to make an effect on this entire fort, the duration will be shorter and the magic will soon deplete. But it's not hard to hypnotize one.

"My Summoner, I have been hypnotized by those who are up there."

"Well done, Lune. Leslie, will you keep Lune?"

"Dr. Glass, I'll climb you on my back at once. Because it's faster, and your teacher's health can be preserved."

"Yes, please...... Huh!

The next moment Mr. Presha carried her on her back, she did not climb the ladder, but ran up in the vertical direction - something that is possible because Leslie's magic makes her sound and signs disappear, but once again she is shown and admired the awesomeness of her physical abilities.

There is one soldier on the lookout, sitting on the floor. When I had my face raised, the hypnosis caused by Arlaune pollen was fully effective.

"If we did it right, Alejandro would have done the same thing..."

"No, this hypnosis doesn't make you listen actively, even if you can make them answer questions. Alejandro's inability to behave as a general would just as well disobey enemy soldiers."

"Ah... I'm sorry, I mean, I simply think too much about things..."

"I thought the same thing, but above all, Your Majesty wouldn't want magical interference."

Hypnotic magic is risky, even as insurance when dialogue is about to break. Even if the enemy is just covering his mouth and nose with a cloth, it takes time for it to work - as far as the Zirconia knights and soldiers are concerned, many are covering their mouths. The watchman isn't covering his mouth, but that's temporary, with a cloth wrapped around his neck. I guess this usually covers my mouth.

"Ask them to answer some questions. Is this fort really going to accept the surrender recommendation? Let me know what you meant by raising the white flag. What does General Alejandro think?"

"... General Alejandro... told us that he was a soldier... would not reveal his plan... just to find it..."

"Find...? What is it?"

"... the enemy army has a magician... as soon as they find out what a magician looks like, kill him or capture him..."

Chills run all over his body - he senses our presence, and Alejandro has clearly turned to killing.

If you just realized that Noine was on this side, would you say 'magician'? It's possible you noticed not only Noyne, but also me and Leslie.

"Doctor, I'll take a look around from the lookout. If there's anything more I can ask you, just ask me a question."

This soldier said, "Measures" - which means that he personally thinks Alejandro is taking some measures.

I don't have time now. What are the valid questions on this occasion - what should I ask?

"General Alejandro trusts you, do you have a deputy?

"... Richardo, a thousand chiefs... originally led this battalion, but General Alejandro was to follow it... as commander-in-chief of the Lazennaia invading army"

Hypnotize the person named Richardo - no, it takes too long.

"- Glass."

At that time, His Highness Astina was heard. You must be in the middle of already confronting General Alejandro, but you dare call on me.

'The person we are seeing… who calls himself Alejandro, but even though he says he will surrender, he has unconsciously asked for concessions to this one. I feel uncomfortable talking to someone, not of my own free will.'

His Highness Astina's words guide one reasoning - if that's hitting, there's not even a moment of respite.

"Does General Alejandro have any features of appearance?

"... white hair stands out well... long, skinny looking... but the body is working out... on the cheeks, old scars. Years are so... not to reach thirty... the youngest of the great generals..."

- Your Highness, is there a scratch on the cheek of the person in front of you?

'Wounds... Yes, you were wounded a while ago, there are signs of allowance'

This soldier calls it an ancient wound, His Highness calls it a new wound - what that inconsistency means.

'- Your Highness, the person in front of you is not General Alejandro, but a possible shadow!

'Eh... Everybody out of this curtain! Soldiers outside, come on!

His Highness raises his voice - the next moment, something happened that should not have happened.

"What... what...!?

The roar clatters my ears. The shock shivers the air - and sniffing is the smell of gunpowder coming.

"Those guys... No way, Your Highness...!

"It was fake, not Alejandro, who faced His Highness... if I could have noticed sooner... Huh!

Noyne's whining passes the back of his brain. Even if we abandon our men, we try to prevent the 'fall' of this fort - when there are really people who use such measures, we weren't able to think.

I see the central curtain building from the lookout. His Royal Highness escaped by a single hair, and His Highness's men, who were outside, were in control of the enemy soldiers around them. But it's still a situation that doesn't allow predictions.

'Your Highness, escape the fort! The enemy is about to take His Highness by multiplying the confusion!

'... don't worry, Glass. I thought Alejandro had knighthood too. But it wasn't.'

Arrows fly towards the central curtain - but.

"- Ha!

His Highness plays off all of that with a flash of sword. As if all the directions of the flying arrows were predictable.

"Spread out the cavalry and take control of the fort! The main unit will continue the siege so as not to miss the enemy general. Tell Raquel to go in. Chloe's squad seals the escape from the north and shoots arrows at the walls!

His Royal Highness's cavalry begins to move - and Mr. Raquel's troops, entering through the main entrance, thrust away what was visible to his eyes, frustrating the remaining soldiers' will.

"Mr. Presha, let's move too...... Mr. Presha?

I can't move with Mr. Presha staring in one direction. Looking in the same direction as her, there was a knight who weaved his coat and straddled the blue-haired horse.

"... white hair... that's... real, Alejandro...!

"Mr. Presha......!

"I'll take him... Doctor, that way the fight will be over. So I...!

Mr. Presha, with the spear in her hand, descends from the watchtower - and she advances as she snaps down the standing enemy soldiers. Once the soldiers who abandoned their weapons try to respond using what is nearby, but that doesn't stop Mr. Presha either.

"Brother Glass..."

"Master Glass, let me discuss Alejandro! If only that man wasn't even there..."

As soon as I got off the watchtower, Noyne said - I used "Green Healing (Green Heels)" to quell her mind.

"Now it's about getting through this place safely. Don't leave Mr. Presha alone... but even though most of the soldiers in the fort are disarmed, fighting from the front is not a good idea"

"... I will protect Master Glass. But... not for me like this..."

"Don't push Mr. Noyne. I'll protect you both."

"I know what it's like to hate Alejandro. But we're not fighting alone. Don't forget that."

Noyne nods back - and pulls out his protective dagger. Leslie also knows that she has a sense of protection compared to me, but she still has to avoid engaging.

"Have you lost your knight's pride! There's nothing to gain from abandoning your allies, that's why I don't know......!

I can hear Mr. Raquel. Hide gunpowder in the curtain and detonate it - the fake General Alejandro involved, and the enemy soldiers who were accompanying him, would have probably lost their lives in an instant.

His Royal Highness could not be safe if he was late to flee, too. But the white raven's strategy was thwarted - it hasn't gone the way he wanted.

"- My name is Presha Hortensia! If you have the pride of a knight, always fight, General Alejandro!

Mr. Presha, who reached Alejandro, leaps and waves down a long spear - if he takes it with a long sword with both hands, or so, Alejandro bounced back Mr. Presha's blow.

"Ku......!

"It's not as valuable as a victory to sip and taste muddy water, such as pride. Be resolute, little knight, and let us deal with him one last time."

Alejandro shouldn't have to admit he was himself - but he got Mr. Presha's battle - if he thinks about running away without a solution.

I'm not just a person to patronize measures. Alejandro has absolute confidence in his strength as a knight.

"You can tell me from above. You're gonna get hit by that little knight."

Mr. Presha puts up a spear. Alejandro sets up a long sword and looks down from the horse - his eyes were free of any alarm.
