- Levre Emperor Levre V Perspective

He dispatched crusaders twice after a report came up saying that a city close to the border, with no major industry or characteristics, had been attacked by someone. But the results both fail. Though we tried to increase the number by a thousand at first and two thousand at the next, there were no reports of damage done to the enemy.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a commander of dispatched troops who reports such damage in a foolish and honest manner. They have delayed reporting until critical to avoid excess anger, and if nothing can be done about it, they have underreported the damage. But they don't know the rest of their eyes are strewn all over the empire. After hearing the Intelligence report, immediately replace the field commander. I decided to turn him into a monocle experimental material.

I tried to make the rest of the knights swear allegiance to represent me in command, but that's one thing I figured out. The total number of enemies is five. Each one a thousand fierce men. You are an incredible user of swords and bows, and in common Imperial soldiers, you say it's as if you don't have teeth and just make more sacrifices in a hoax. Who the hell is that?

There are possibilities for agents from other countries, but the line of sabotage work of the Demons cannot be thrown out. It has been a problem since I finished looking into it. There is also no need to deliberately diminish the power of war on the perfect opportunity for world chaos and territorial expansion by the Demons.

"The Black Knight... no, can't you fight it with half-way strength? It doesn't make sense if you're not a few elite. Call the monocle."

Monocle, a madman not interested in anything other than research. His lab will be able to fight the agent.

"May I call you, Your Majesty?"

The invoked monocle said so without even trying to wipe the blood paste creeping into the white coat.

"Let's hear some stories from intelligence, shall we? Send at least ten people to the city of examples who might be of use."

"I understand. By the way, should the safety of local residents be taken into account?

"Dealing with the enemy is our top priority. Some sacrifice is unavoidable."

"I see. Now let's have a candidate specializing in combat skills."

With a creepy grin, the lowered head monocle disappeared. Now, what happens to the results?

- Monocle perspective

I'd rather avoid my precious research time than anything else, but I can't even say that if I received my life directly from His Majesty. Even if I don't like it, I'm going to have to get to work.

Welcome home, Director.

"Your Majesty has given me permission. It's the first squad."

"Heh! You were often allowed that one!

My assistant raises his voice like a heartfelt surprise. At this laboratory, there are currently platelets divided between the first and tenth squads, each gathered by various characteristics and suitable tasks. Among them, the first squad is full of plaids specializing in combat capabilities. Started out as a former gold-ranked adventurer, he existed even with awesome knights, soldiers and, at the end of the day, bandit collapses. As for this one, I don't mind ignoring my personality or anything, as long as I have the stubbornness or original athletic ability to withstand the battle. Anyway, one order will take away free will and so on.

Their powerful combat abilities make the Black Knight a light kick. Besides, I can tell you there was no emotion, no pain, or death. It's like a legendary mad warrior who doesn't make you feel the fear of pain or death and keeps fighting until the flesh is completely destroyed, but it can be called a pseudo-mad warrior.

Because they are such people, I don't even think about the damage around them as much as the hair. Adults or children, but if you get in the way of eliminating enemies, you just kill them. Even the annihilation of the enemy that was on this mission will result in the death of a considerable number of local residents. But it's not something I would consider. The responsibility lies with His Majesty.

"Prepare to launch immediately. Don't forget your meds."

"I know. Expect an extraordinarily powerful candidate!

Thus a group wielding death was freed from the imperial capital. I'm sorry for the local residents, but let's wish them luck within the moment.

- Lapis point of view

"Stop the raid?

"Not exactly. Stop the raids in this city."

Destroying the troops that were stationed in the city and destroying the Crusaders. Twice, I expected that it would be time for the enemy to put his back in. If the aim is to sharpen the empire's power, it would be good to stay and fight in the city like this, and everyone should have intended to. But I don't think so.

"The enemy is attacking this city for some purpose... that's what he thinks"

"Right. In fact, we're raiding, and we think so."

"Is Lapis different?

I laugh nicely at Karin for shaking my neck.

"Yeah. The eyes of our enemies and the eyes of our allies think it's our chance when we're drawn to this city. I want to poke that gap and put a person behind me."

"Who is a person?

"Emperor Levre, it's Levre V."

Compared to other countries, the Rebble Empire is too powerful an emperor's authority. I'm sure all the evil that is being done everywhere will also be done by the emperor himself at his behest. Conversely, if only the Emperor could manage, the Rebble Empire would end up in a crowd of U.N. crushed heads. You should be able to confuse them for quite some time, even if it's hard to pick up the sprouts of evil entirely.

"Indeed, if we succeed, the effects will be immeasurable. But..."

"Yes, it must be quite dangerous and difficult."

Rubias and Ciel have a tough face. Naturally. I just scraped a little bit of a gesture and it's the enemy's home. If you care about that, there will be 10,000 units of soldiers, and of course there is a possibility that there will be more than one warrior comparable to Barbaros. If we are surrounded, it will be difficult for us to escape as much as we want.

"We're not going to fight like we're going to destroy our enemies. There is only one emperor to target. Let go of the greatest magic I can use in the castle. Of course, the enemy's castle will have an anti-magic junction, so it won't be possible to blow up every castle, but it should do a lot of damage."

"Then... can we do something about it? Lapis focuses on the attack, and I let everyone get away with flying magic. And they're all escorts."

"That said, I won't force you because of the great danger to the boulders. If there seems to be a lot of disagreement, I'll think of another hand. I want everyone to have their opinions."

When I said that, Rubias and Karin put their arms together and started thinking. I guess I'm not hesitant about the sacrifices of soldiers and civilians staying in the castle now, just because we've been killing each other with scattered ordinary soldiers in this city. All they care about is simply the success rate of the operation.

"Do you think the master... will succeed?

"To be honest, I don't think there's a fifty percent chance I'm going to end it. I just think the emperor needs to know. I don't care who you are, you can attack me whenever you want."

"I mean, he wants the Emperor's eyes turned inside?

"Right. If you invade another country, your neck will be endangered in that gap. I think you can do it if you make me understand that."

"Then I'll agree."

Karin's energetic voice sounded. Rubias sees her as surprised.

"Karin?"

"I want to defend the Kingdom of Bordeaux, and even Zerbis of Dieria. But we can't protect them all, can we? Attacks have always been the biggest defense. I think it's a good idea to get into Lapis' thoughts without having to think hard about it here."

"Do Ciel and Karin agree...... what does Dieria think?

"I..."

For a moment she finally opens her mouth as determined.

"I'm scared to be honest, but I think I can handle it with everyone. I don't think we can afford to do anything against Zerbis if we can threaten the Emperor even if we fail to assassinate him. I agree."

"Right. So... I agree, Master."

"Is it good? Rubias."

"Yes. The assassination of the Emperor will be difficult, but I agree if it's meant to alert the enemy. This is a busy time for demonic opponents. If you can make the Rebble Empire grow up, you'll get valuable time. And..."

Once the words were cut, Rubias had a fuzzy and soft grin.

"You can't just send your master to a dangerous place. It's only natural to accompany you as a disciple."

"Rubias...... guys...... thanks. Then let's do it."

"Ooh!"

This operation behind the enemy, what happens when it is fulfilled... God only knows the consequences.
