Where Fort Istria approached, we stopped the troops once. I haven't seen the fort yet, but from here on out I'll make sure you follow the operation.

Connect so that no man comes, and gather soldiers in it. They all seem to think it's unlikely to attack with such a small number, some trembling with fear, but that's as expected, so no problem.

I stood in front of the soldiers after giving instructions to Elle. Elle drew the magic formation and activated it.

The soldiers received the effect of Elle's activated daydream (halcynation), which gave them all a boisterous look, but soon came back to normal.

"Soldiers. From now on we will attack the fortifications of Istria. I want you to believe what I'm about to say and fight."

"Viscount, with this number of people it is impossible to attack the fort, etc. What kind of hand are you going to take?

Someone who is still a little conscious of the effects of the procedure asked me a question. I was going to tell you now, but if you're going to ask me from over there, I'm quick to talk.

"Rest assured, now my disciples have granted you the protection of a thousand heroes. If your enemies see you now, they will either escape the battle of fear or surrender without even being able to do so. Of course, the enemy can't even hit you with an arrow, a sword or a machete, and I don't want to hit you."

"Is it true!? Then we'll be fine!

What makes you believe my words without question is the effect of daydreaming (halcynation). Probably no longer fears on the battlefield because collective psychology can have a more powerful effect than thought induction (guideposts).

Finally, if the effect of the procedure expires, the memories of when it was hung will only be remembered, so I can say that it is an excellent procedure when I don't really remember what I will do now.

Up to this point, it's work to get rid of these guys' anxiety. And from here on out, I'm going to destroy my enemies and do what I'm supposed to do.

"You've all figured out why I think I can win. The enemy is bound to surrender. But you must not miss a soldier who has surrendered."

"Why?

Here I make a sad look and look over at the soldiers. Suddenly I looked like that, so I can see what the hell is going on and the confused gaze of the soldiers coming together.

"You forgot? Tell me what happened to your family, lovers and friends. Men were killed, women were offended, and all men, old men and children alike, were taken by the soldiers of the Demon Empire."

"Oh, yeah, I did. My wife, my kids, they killed me!

I don't know if the guy I'm screaming at right now really has a wife or child, but this is also the effect of daydreaming (halcynation).

Elle is creating footage of what I just said in my brain, but the effect seemed to be surface. All the time this guy throws hate words in the direction of the fort, and he still has the look of being attacked.

Hit your hand and bring your attention back to this one. The faces of the soldiers, unlike those of earlier days, have a demonic look full of hostility towards the Demonic Empire.

"Everyone will think we can't forgive the demonic empires. Kill the enemy soldiers in full. But I forbid you to hurt anyone but soldiers as revenge. As human beings, we cannot be as outrageous as they are. Kill all enemy soldiers and those who resist, and let civilians who stop resisting take prisoner and not commit assault."

There may also be civilians in the fort at once, so I'll tell you this too. If you occasionally had a family of enemy soldiers or merchants in and out, killing them would make you have a bad reputation, and most importantly, it could be used for experimental purposes.

The soldiers, who do not know they have such an idea, are thrilled with my words. There are voices inside that say he's a true hero, but he's not such a made person.

"All right, then, let's go for the fort! Follow this man and drop the fort!

Ahead of Elle, the soldiers moved toward the fort. She is instructed to maintain the daydreams (halcynation) hanging from the soldiers and to kill the enemy soldiers who resisted the technique I will hang from now on as a priority.

When you get to the position where you are likely to see the fort, you start drawing the magic formation and start it. Class 4 Tactical Ceremony, Loss of will (Peace Full Mind) was activated involving a section of the fort.

The effect makes you feel a powerful aversion to the act of waging a struggle or violence, and makes you feel friendly and irresistible towards the person you are attacking. This means that the humans in the fort will be caught without any resistance, even if the soldiers are attacked.

Despite the presence of kingdom soldiers in positions that can also be ascertained from the fort, some of the watchmen are waving as if their allies had come. Elle broke through the gates of the fort and was able to confirm where the soldiers were entering.

There's enough screaming to tell from the outside, but I'm sure there's a hell of a sight going on inside. It is easy to imagine soldiers making obstinate attacks on enemy soldiers who do not resist.

After a while I went inside, it seemed that all the soldiers in the fort had already been killed. Looking for Elle while avoiding the bodies that were falling all over him, he was in a room where the survivors were tucked together and locked away.

"Ah, master. I killed all the soldiers in the fort. Not a single soldier escaped."

"Well, is it the average person here?

"By and large it is. There are a few soldiers who didn't resist."

"I see...... hmm?

Looking over the prisoner, there was a man with a face who had seen one inside. He was caught at Adriana's. When he noticed this one too, he smiled and approached this one.

"Hey, it's been a while"

"You're the man who was in that cave. Why are you here?

"Yes, after I got help, I was going around a lot, but I got caught when I approached here..."

I heard the story but couldn't wipe the suspicion, so I used plagiarism (sort of steal) and memory browsing (psychometry) to make sure. But there was nothing suspicious about his thoughts or his memories, and I could see he was really going around, and I lifted my guard.

"Well, should I say there was no luck?"

"I think you're lucky you got help twice."

"Well, for a moment, you stay with the prisoner, too, okay?

"Yes. Oh, my name is Van,"

"Okay, Van. I'll open this fort after it's cleared up, so wait till then."

Leave him alone for one second, and we'll have to dispose of the bodies in the fort first. Even though it's still cold season now, it's going to be a lot worse if you leave it alone.

Hurry up and let the body go outside and throw the body into the hole I drilled in the procedure. Enemy soldiers were more than a few times this one, so by the time I carried them all out, it had been a day. But from now on, the cleaning inside the fort is waiting. This doesn't look like I'm going to be able to sleep satisfied for a while.

Two more days later, the cleaning inside the fort and the confirmation of the supplies that were in the fort, and the confirmation of the prisoners, were completed, so they put out their use for the king's capital. This is going to send reinforcements to protect this place.

And they went to the captives, and the men of the kingdom let them have gold, and opened them up. I decided to give him a ride by carriage to the nearest town because I don't have any legs, but whoever came to work here hired him as a cleaner and cook for now.

Van seems to have chosen someone to be hired here. I didn't feel comfortable trying to get around the place.

"That was helpful. I had some more before they caught me."

"Never mind, you don't even treat me special."

Until the soldiers sent by the kingdom came afterwards, they only had enough work to keep guarding the fort, so they decided to go to the prisoners. Because there was a mix of people that only one cared about.

The prisoner is housed in a holding cell, so head out there and discover who you're looking for. The woman who noticed the sound of me approaching her is the one who's staring at her. Let me see your memories, and I know what a royalty of the Demon Empire you are.

I thought this might be a chance to send spies into the Demon Empire and decided to draw her in here.

"... what can I do for you?

"Oh, you have a lot to ask."

This is not how you resist my surgery and break your strong attitude. By the way, there seemed to be only three other guys who could resist, all soldiers, so Elle was killing them. Looks like this guy was a magician too, but he wasn't wearing a military uniform, so he was lucky enough to be caught mistaken for a civilian.

Massive magic tends to be weaker, so it's not surprising that there were four people who didn't work. The soldiers of the Demon Empire seem to be of far higher quality than the soldiers of the kingdom.

"You just tortured me and I'm not gonna tell you anything."

"No, you seemed like a military magician. If you follow us, you can let the rest of them go, okay?

"... you just need the information I know, right?

Let me look at my memory, because this guy seemed to care a lot about others, and the reason I came to the front line was because I didn't want to sacrifice the people any more. Great for use.

"Oh, I don't care."

"Okay, this is a promise. Be sure to let them go."

"Fine. However, let the will of the person be paramount. If you stay from yourself, it's not as long as you promised, is it?

"Okay, let's fulfill your terms first. What do you want to hear?

"Right, let's do this first before then. Put it on your finger."

I gave her the ring I had brought over. I don't know what it's worth because it's something I found in the fort, but the gems on it are real, so I'm pretty sure it's not cheap.

She was wary at first that it was a demonic prop, but she knew it was different because it didn't have a demonic stone on it, and she wore it in a confused manner. Well, I've never heard of anyone who would give a ring to a prisoner, so I know exactly how that feels.

"What is this? Are you even proposing now?

"Never mind, it's a gift from me"

Since all the conditions have been met, a large amount of magic is poured into it to activate the dominion (dominate) that has become more powerful. Safely broke her surgical resistance and the effect was activated. I got a boisterous look and immediately went back to my original look.

"Say your name."

"It's Olympia Lea Gran Darro."

"So what am I to you?

"I am your master, who offers all my loyalties."

"What's your mission to fulfill?

"To return to the Demon Empire and share their information with your husband."

All right, everything seems to be working out. When I put my foot inside to try it, I immediately moved my face closer and started licking my shoes. When I put my finger inside, I smiled and began to shake. Until earlier, she was so strong, she's cute when this happens.

It's getting interesting, so I snap my fingers around her mouth. Every time her fingers peer through the inside of her cheek and rub her teeth, she is trembling with joy.

Pulling her fingers out, her saliva was on and she was Vietnamese. After wiping it with her clothes, I unlocked the locker and let her go.

"Speaking of which, what about earlier promises?

"You don't have to let those people go. Why don't you make up your mind that you didn't have an earlier promise?

"If that's what you mean, let's just say we didn't have that promise."

I also let her withdraw her promise, so I put on a robe for the magician and tear it to pieces. Doing this makes her look desperate to escape. Probably more credible than staying clean.

For once, give me a bracelet that allows me to deploy a demonic barrier to surgical measures such as memory browsing (psychometry). She also has high surgical resistance, so she won't get a peek in her head if she wears this.

I gave her a horse and sent her to the Devil Empire. I hope this helps us understand the movement of the Demon Imperial Army.

"Master, wasn't that the captive woman?

Elle approached us. Apparently, he remembered her face.

"Oh, I kept my memories here as my handkerchief. Now you'll know more about the movement of the Demon Empire than ever before."

"Really, boulders are masters"

He says I can tell him that the fort here has been dropped for once, so he'll be attacking here not too far away. But by then, I'm already the king's capital, and only me and Elle know that she ran away, so the blame never comes to me.

Now, until reinforcements from the kingdom arrive, we shall kill our spare time even with El's training.

More than two weeks later, reinforcements from the Wang capital finally arrived. What a reinforcement it was to Robert.

"You're a boulder, Viscount Werner. I never really thought I'd drop the fort."

"I'm a man who keeps his promises."

Robert and I were talking in a room in the fort as supplies were being brought in one after the other.

"Father was delighted. He's going to allow me to marry his sister when I get back to Wang Du."

"That's superimposed. It was worth the effort."

So now you can finally go home. I think I miss the tier and bath at the mansion because it was a little long. Let's take a bath first when we're done reporting to the King.

"That changes the story, but it was Ermaia, or I want you to leave her here"

"Hmm? Why?

"It's a pity to keep you here for reinforcements, but there are few wizards in a sudden formation. I heard she's quite a user too, so I need your help for a while."

"She can't speak the Kingdom."

"That's okay. I could hire an elf who could interpret. He's called Levine."

You're not Natalia's ex-husband here. He doesn't seem to have enough strength to attack Elf, so he's more secure than having a poorly strong elf on him.

Levin came in on Robert's instructions. I looked surprised when I saw this face, but I immediately smiled and came here.

"If you think of someone, aren't you a generous person then? But don't you need an interpreter?

"It's not me. It's my apprentice Dark Elf who needs an interpreter."

"Dark elves? Could it have been about you, the rumored elf-loving Viscount?

"I don't like elves, but I'm pretty sure I'm the one with the rumors"

Levin, who had talked a lot on the other side of the interpreter, soon stopped talking and grown up when Robert coughed up tight on the boulder. It doesn't look like I can't read the air.

"Well, he seems to like to talk a little bit, but he won't have a problem with the interpreter"

"Sounds like it. I wonder... how long is it going to last?

"Longest, till spring."

"... well I don't care what she says..."

That's when Elle arrived, so I asked him what he wanted to do.

"If the master wants to stay, I will obey."

She spoke to Robert, but he didn't speak elf, so he saw Levine. Noticed that gaze, Levin starts interpreting quickly.

"If the Viscount told you to stay, go ahead."

"Right. Goodbye, Lord Hermia."

"You are Hermia. This great guy over here is Prince Robert, and I'm Levin the interpreter, and I'm going to say hello."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you"

If it looks like this, there seems to be no problem leaving it behind. Elle was supposed to spend some time here, but I'll let him go home to the king's capital one foot away.
