The black airship gradually approached the flower garden and lowered its altitude to just below the height of the surrounding trees, and suddenly soldiers appeared on the airship's deck, firing fire magic on the trees in the forest with a "rapid wand".

"Suddenly shot!"

I was surprised.

"It's okay. Lautaro and others are also preparing 'Wands of the Waterwall', and I'm worried that the attack over there is hitting the shadows of the surrounding forest properly.

I used my detective skill and watched the shadowic red light fade away. Despite the searchlight-like magic stone lights, the only technology that can accurately locate long-range attacks in the night forest is a detection skill.

"Do the airship soldiers misunderstand Rautaro as a friendly soldier and defeat Shadowic?"

Bersa asked.

"I don't know. I guess it may be just exterminating the monsters, whether they are enemies or allies.

The ropes were hung from the deck of the airship, and the soldiers of Fire Land came down to the ground one after another. The movement of the soldiers is sophisticated and lean. It was clearly visible by the magic stone lights lining up in a cross in the flower garden.

Nineteen soldiers descend on the ground, turning around with a “rapid wand” and watching the surroundings in a circular shape. At the center of the circle, several large bags, like drums, were dropped from the airship. Is it food supplies?

Finally, a red-haired man jumped down from an airship slowly moving at a height of about 20 meters without using a pyon and a rope.

The man landed without difficulty and turned his red cloak. The face illuminated by a magic stone lamp like a searchlight looks cute and adorable, but he is probably over 30 years old. Waving at the airship that is turning around and slowly leaving, he is watching.

"Hello, good evening!"

The red-haired man turned around and greeted Lautaro and the soldiers of the Great Plains. Around the 100 Great Plains soldiers, it's a greedy greeting, but the voice goes through. In a place filled with tension, only this red-haired man looked free.

"I'm sorry! The attack from the sky was just to get rid of the disturbing monsters. Fireland soldiers or mercenaries ...?"

The red-haired man looked around.

"Isn't it ..."

"I'm binding your friends! Fighting here is useless!"

Lautaro at the edge of the flower garden shouted.

"We don't want to fight if we can. What is the number of casualties here?"

"Some wounded have resisted, but there are no dead."

The moment Lautaro responded, soldiers of the Fire Land saw the red-haired man for a moment.

"What is the number of casualties there?"

"Not in"

Lautaro began to walk towards the center of the flower garden.

"Eh, what did you say now?"

"There are no casualties here. No one is injured and no one died. Did you understand?"

Lautaro stopped in the middle of the flower garden and confronted a red-haired man. I did not activate it, but I was holding the stick on the water wall firmly.

"In other words, are you intact and binding our prisoners and captives?"

"That's it"

He was looking up at Chiratchira and Rautaro as the fireland soldiers surrounding the supplies were upset.

"Hmm ... I'm sorry. Does that mean there's a countermeasure for the 'rapid wand'?"

"I can't say that."

In Lautalo's words, the soldiers of the Fire Land immediately discarded the "rapid wand" on the ground and changed the rewards. He seems to think that he can get close to the Great Plains soldiers around him without having to rely on the "rapid wand". You've just defeated the shadows of the surrounding forest, so you know how much power is surrounding you, but you seem confident in your strength.

"As I said, fighting here is useless for each other. All of you in the fort will die when you attack us. Want to"

Lautaro said. If someone is attacked, will someone blow a whistle and let the fort know?

"I see. But are you ready for it? How long do you intend to cease the war, how much you claim your territory, can you move without central instructions?"

The red-haired man smiled and said to Lautaro.

"Tentative. For now, withdraw all troops from this forest. At a later date, use the fire country."

"What if I refuse here?"

"Hey! Signal someone fort!"

Lautaro shouted at the forest.

"Wait a minute, wait! It was bad! I'll withdraw immediately."

The red-haired man rushed, and the soldiers of the Fire Country stared at the red-haired man.

"Hey, spike. Please listen."

One of the soldiers of the fire country said to the red-haired man.

"There is no other way to save my brothers. Please bear here."

"What's your plan?"

"It's okay if you go around. Don't talk about it here."

For a moment, the face of the red-haired man became cloudy, and told the soldiers of the Fireland to pick up the “rapid wand”.

"I will not disarm the enemy land."

The red-haired man turned to Lautaro.

"Oh, no problem."

"And this bag contains food and living supplies. Will you deliver it to the prisoners? A contract with a mercenary nation. Let me eat one meal a day no matter what. Otherwise, they'll boil, bake and eat, whether they're watchmen or friends. ''

Are mercenaries so wild?

"And we want some time to walk out of the forest on foot."

"Wait till dawn"

The northern forest is quite big.

"Everyone is in a hurry"

"Damn"

The red-haired man and the Fireland soldiers ran north, and soon disappeared into the night forest.

"Is that red-haired man a hero of fire?"

I ran up to Lautaro, seeing that the soldiers of the Fire Country had disappeared from the range of my detection skills.

"Well, it was called Spike, but his real name should be Spikeman. President, can you look at that big bag?"

"Is it a trap?"

"Maybe"

It was a gutsy trap.

Only two bags were filled with food, and traps were set up that opened the bag and squirted medicine. Other bags were filled with magic stones and paralytics, and in the bag with a large amount of magic stones, there were multiple papers depicting fire magic magic circles with one line missing . Someone might have caused a huge explosion by adding a single line. We wrapped the bag in a wall of magic and opened the bag carefully with the magic of the aisle and bow, so there was no damage, but it would be terrifying to think that it would have been passed to the prisoners.

"No, I guess it's supposed that people in the fire country will be bald, but without the presidents, it would have taken longer to process."

It may have been withdrawing and trying to attack the fort with an airship.

"Everyone is back in the hurry, beware of the sky!"

"""""Roger that"""""

We were returned to the fort by Lautaro's command.

He was on the fort until dawn, but no airships came.

We continued watching the forest with the fort soldiers from the top of the tower.

As the sun rose from the western mountains, Lautaro and Thione could be heard talking and the pigeon monsters were firing eastward.

"Not good ..."

Lautaro came up to the tower and muttered.

"Is it a problem?"

"Oh, the fact that the airship isn't here at dawn may have headed to a different front. I've been told by the entire army to watch the sky, '' Is not available outside of this fort, so the response will be limited. ''

Did you give up on this fort that was able to respond to "Fast-Fire Staff" and aim for other units?

"Now, letting the airships head to other fronts, what is the benefit of the fire country? Is it a simple invasion? The fire country puts the prisoners in this fort in danger. Will it be done? "

"Well, if there was this prisoner in the fire country, the conditions would change when negotiating a ceasefire agreement. I was supposed to be "

"So you were releasing the monsters of the pigeons at dawn? I wish we had taught us during the night."

"That's right, but you can't just rely on a trip cleaning and extermination company. You can't stay in the Great Plains forever. Is there enough support, or will you kill the Fireland as a mercenary in our country? "

"It's a bit difficult."

Indeed, no matter what the hero is, I guess she can't kill herself and drink good sake. In the first place, it is not the job of a cleaning and extermination company.

"I guess. Even if the presidents can get rid of the monsters, they'd better not kill the people. I'm not saying they can't. They say the fields are different."

"I agree"

That's all we can do. Did the rails up to the ceasefire close?

A Great Plains soldier on a feehorse came to the fort while napping and eating lunch. Near the eastern front, a train's carriage was attacked by an airship. According to the map, it seems that it is near the hometown of Bow, the Devil Kingdom. Although there is considerable distance, an airship can move in both forests and valleys.

"President Komlo, can I copy the magic circle that is drawn on" Wand on the Water Wall "?"

Ap heard.

"Please use it as you like.

I hand-printed the magic circle on "Wands of Water" on parchment and handed it to Ap. If you have crafting skills, you will be able to carve it on a cane.

"What do you do after this?"

We asked Ap, who came to get the magic book.

"I will keep the front line until the ceasefire negotiations begin. I think that I will form a supply unit and go around the forts. I was glad that there was a" water wall stick ". "

"Yes. I guess it's time for our support to end, but how about? Are you okay?"

"I see. I'm lonely that I can't enjoy Seth and Melmo dishes, are you busy?"

"I'm worried about Bow's hometown. Isn't the Great Plains the only land of fire invaded?"

"Yes, countries that have not allied are generally under attack."

In the first place, it is not known that the country of fire recognizes the Devil Kingdom. If you don't know the difference between the demons and the demons, you'll probably be releasing the "rapid wand" the moment you see the demons.

I was reminiscent of the Garrigari demons in the Chokuro field.

Seth made his last dinner at the fort, Mermo sewed the torn clothes of the soldiers, Isle trained infantry, and Versa gave a poisonous lecture to intelligence. Rita and Bow were watching the forest, not the flirting on the tower.

"Are you going?"

I went to Lautaro to talk and was told without saying anything.

"Yes, I'm a little worried about Bow's hometown."

"I understand. Watch out."

"Is the negotiation going well?"

"The nation of fire is a country where merchants have a strong voice. If negotiations break down, a war like tearing will continue. The negotiations should work, well, what the local cavalry captain says. "

Lautaro laughed.

`` Thione, dating after the war is over ''

I told Thione, who was listening next door.

"President Komlo! Don't say that now. Make a private communication bag with it."

Thione said with my face red in my ear.

Since communication bags are made many times, it does not take much time.

The Komuro Company left the fort at night.
