A total of twelve carriages continue down the street.
If this is just the scale of the move, there are no strong men who will attack along the way.
Instead, if Armunale is in the lead and the infantry is such a bandit that they can sell fights to the troops who guard their surroundings, I'd like to see it.
From Leitaki to the King's Capital of Belgio is approximately two weeks away by a straight line distance.
But there was a territory between the kingdom and Belgio that the Empire had plundered, and we decided it was dangerous to break through it, partly through the mountains and through a detour route using the northern region, which we had planned for about three weeks.
Thanks in part to this, things are going well without ever being attacked and without particularly problematic weather.
Now we are already in the midst of entering Belgio and passing through a narrow path made in the woods, which are lush and lush.
The majority of the roads in Belgio are narrow paths in these woods, and it is also finally different when encountered with large merchants and travellers.
But thanks to that, we can't complain much because we are protected from massive army invasions and so on, and we are still able to resist the invasion of the Empire.
With that in mind, Mr. Bunois, who was moving ahead as a scoundrel, came back.
"There are suspicious signs around. Slow down a little and stay alert."
"Okay. Please call Cattleya back. Be vigilant."
If Mr. Bunois felt something, there must be something first.
In the meantime, I will call back the other Mr. Cattleya who is out on the scouts and give instructions to the entire force to slow down.
Then narrow the intervals between infantry units and eliminate blind spots.
And, you noticed that the speed was slower, the princess brought a message on the side.
"I was wondering if something had happened to Ines."
"The scoundrels are feeling suspicious signs. Tell the princess to keep her company in the carriage because there could be something of enemies around. I don't have a problem with the beast, but I don't think we're approaching a unit of this size."
"Okay."
It is understandable to say that it is something clearly aimed at this unit. If so, are they the invading Imperial Army or are they bandits again?
And just in case it's possible, I'll give you additional instructions.
"Contact all units. Never get your hands on this one until they attack you."
Copy that.
Run to the transmission and absolutely defend yourself.
If the signs of being here are not empires or bandits. That would be called the army of Belgio fighting here.
It is not always possible that you will have more up-to-date information than you are doing guerrilla warfare, or that you may not have communicated the information that should be conveyed due to some trouble.
If the guerrillas and we were to run into each other here, the meaning of the princess coming all the way here would turn into water bubbles. I want to carry things carefully.
Thinking about that, Mr. Bunois brought Katrea back as he was getting ready.
"You two, escort Mr. O'Rail and the others."
Copy that.
Our carriage is moving right around the corner with the princess's escort.
Then you should be able to move on an ad hoc basis while checking the princess's trends.
Well, I guess this is okay with the placement. After that, just wait for the other side to have the action.
Slowly the troops move on and gradually the path becomes wider.
Check the map you got in advance, it looks like there's a square like a rest area ahead of you.
Maybe once you get some rest there. If you calm your hips, the range of responses will also widen.
"We will stop the troops ahead. There may be a reaction from the other side, so we'll take a longer time, so stay alert and take turns taking a break."
Copy that. I'll pass it on to all units.
Once again, we issued a transmission, and we arrived at the square.
It's a small square that leaves behind logging. If there are five planes in Almunale, they are likely to become tight.
The carriage that came into the square stops beautifully lined up, and the soldiers who descend begin to alert and rest around each other.
I check the perimeter with the camera, too, but I don't see anything that looks like a shadow. But I'm guessing they're still watching over Mr. Bunois, too, because he hasn't lifted his guard. In that case, don't mean you're supposed to be pretty much in the woods.
If you can, I want you to get in touch with me early.
And then we took an hour's break or so, and the other side finally moved where it was time to leave.
A mass of grass jumping out of the surrounding woods is pointing spears and crossbows at us.
"Gilly suit."
I was more than surrounded by camouflage suits coming from enemy soldiers. That's exactly what you should call a gilly suit, braided with tons of dead grass. Sure, if it's all covered in grass, I can snort that you don't know in the woods.
This soldier quietly lays down his weapon and forms a defense without suddenly fighting back, thanks to having ordered a dedicated defense.
Only the troops attached to the princess's escort, the soldiers are calm and moving quickly.
And when one of the Gilly suits leaves one step forward, he rips the grass on his head and exposes his face.
"I am Georgio, Captain of Unit III of the Second Defense Division of the Kingdom of Belgio! Let's hear what you belong to and why you came to our country! Depending on your response, I want you to understand that it will remain a battle."
Hmm, again, I had a thin expectation from the good placement in the forest department, etc., but it seemed to be a National Army guerrilla unit in Belgio.
From the way things are over there, I'm sure you haven't heard about this one, but obviously it feels like confirmation, just in case, because it's not the same with empires and mercenaries.
Well, should the princess leave or should I? In the interests of safety, I guess I'd better respond, but I feel it would be quicker for the princess to talk. Besides, it's the princess who has the entry permit I got at the border.
That's what I thought, and when I checked the princess's carriage on the monitor, I noticed the princess looking at this one through that window.
That finger tells you to talk.
Copy that.
Mumble with a voice to such an extent that Mike doesn't pick it up, and answer to the person waiting for a response.
"This is the Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Faetal and his escort unit. You have also issued an immigration permit, so I'll show you if I need confirmation."
"Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Faithful?
A man named Geo peeps at his surrounding companions as he leans his neck.
The other fellows didn't seem to have heard anything either and were uniformly shaking their heads beside each other.
"Just in case, let me check."
"Okay. Angus, please."
Ask Angus, who is in the carriage as the princess's escort, to get off the carriage with an entry permit. Angus can do anything if he's suddenly attacked.
Angus, coming out of the carriage, hands George the paper he had close to him.
Geo received it and checked the form while paying attention to Angus' movements.
"It's definitely real. There's also a border guard mark."
Geo gave instructions to all of the troops and forced them to lower their arms.
"Confirmed. It does seem real. Excuse me."
Return your letter to Angus, and salute Geo.
I told Angus to go back to the carriage and keep talking to Geo.
"Is it close to the battlefield to say there are troops of Belgio around here?
Then we must change course or rush out for the safety of the princess.
"No, it is further south that is the main battlefield. I just got a report from the watchman that I could see the Armunale, so I came to check it out just in case."
"Oh, was that what you said"
Almunale and abnomule are exposed from the trees around here above the chest. If you had a watch, you'd be noticeable.
"I will tell the other troops as well, so please keep going. In about half a day, I'll be in my first town.
The voice was not heard to the end and was cancelled by a sudden explosion.
"What!?
"Did it take! It's all this way already."
Geo seems surprised by something else, not by the explosion sound itself.
I'll check the location of the explosion on the monitor immediately. That, as Geo said earlier, would be better down quite south of here.
Black smoke is rising and birds are escaping simultaneously around them.
"Excuse me, we're going back"
"Enemy... you're an empire"
"Yeah, I was trapping around the position, so it seemed to hang on to it. It's faster to invade than I thought, but I'll try to stop it, so get through it in the meantime."
Georgo gives immediate instructions and the crew rushes into the woods.
Their movement, forged in the woods, was quick and instantly lost in the trees.
Well, here I have two options.
No, to be honest, maybe it's not something I can choose...
One is to fight the troops of the Empire with them. And the other is something that leaves us here early, as they say.
So, if you ask me why I can't choose...
"My knight! Go!"
I knew it would happen...... I'm supposed to be the princess's escort, but you can't just walk away so easily!
In the meantime, let's argue with you as a Kingsguard knight.
"I think we should follow their instructions here...... we are escorting the princess for once, and they are also professionals in the fight in the forest. Instead, if you go, you get in the way?
"Even if the other person is Armunale? Certainly Belgio also has the means to deal with Armunale and Abnomulet. But that's not as certain as bumping an aluminum. That captain already said he was here, too. Maybe they're pretty pushed in. This is where my knight checks directly."
"... are you telling me to intervene in wars in other countries?
That's not about diplomacy.
I haven't had a relationship with Belgio yet. If you intervene in a fight in that situation, you could be seen selling favors forcefully to Belgio and dragging them into your people.
It would create distrust from Belgio, and the possibility emerges that other countries would refuse diplomacy itself if they could be sold out of gratitude.
If that happens, all the plans the princesses are making right now should go to waste.
"You don't have to intervene in the fight. Just scout the battle. That fuselage would look good even a little further away (...) and it would be safe, wouldn't it?
"I see, is that what you're saying"
Armunale stands out a lot. If that's getting closer, how does the empire work?
Judging this one to be Belgio's ally, they'll attack.
But I've only been ordered by the princess to do reconnaissance, not intervene in combat. If we were to be attacked there, we would have to eliminate the person who attacked us as an escort to Faithal.
You didn't sell your favor to Belgio, you paid for the firepowder that would come down on you?
The Belgio side can eliminate troublesome enemies without being sold, and this one can eliminate obstacles for future negotiations.
Isn't that exactly win-win?
"Got it. The princess asks you to stay in your planned town."
"Take Angus and Katrea too. If we're going to leave for a little while, we're going to need your caregiver and liaison."
"Okay. Angus, get on Cattleya's horse and we'll rendezvous later. Don't get too close."
"Yes, yes."
Angus jumping out of the carriage sits behind Stadt Katrea.
The horse also said he was suddenly jumped on, but he doesn't look surprised. On the contrary, he probably doesn't even realize he got on Angus.
As always, I'm not sure about the physical abilities and skills of support-made!
"Mr. Bunois, please, too. And Ace, escort the princess with all your might. Whatever happens, don't make me scratch one."
"Okay. If your husband's orders."
"Copy that. Captain Erdo, be careful."
When I finished giving instructions to the troops, I moved the fuselage into the battle zone, which is still exploding.
◇
"Fuck."
Hiding in the thick trees of the trunk, Captain Megan of the Second Defense Division, Unit II, makes a bad habit.
Not more than three hundred meters from there were green fuselages nestled in the burning woods.
It is an Abnomule unit of the Empire.
So far we haven't been able to confirm what Armunale looks like, but it's something that the leader of that unit has already been found to be Armunale in a prior reconnaissance.
I don't know where you are trying to argue with your head, and on the contrary, it doesn't look like this attack has been effectively hit.
In a situation where he is definitely being pushed, Megan gives instructions out loud.
"Match Bronzo's throw! Aim for the joints in your legs! If there's no armor, we can destroy it!
Copy that!
Immediately after instructions, several degrees of explosion. Along with that, one of the Abnomules collapsed on the spot.
Even if it's triggered by my buddy's fuselage, it's finally standing.
"This is all you've got to do."
Tool wear and effect are clearly not commensurate.
That's what comes under intense pressure on the Megans. That's where reinforcements arrived from the north.
"Megan!"
"Geo. What happened to the airframe the surveillance was saying!?
"That's not a problem. The envoy from Faithal and his escort. We also check the immigration permits."
"Right."
Hear George's words and howl your chest down.
The Second Defense Division could be devastated if they were also attacked by Armunale from the north here. Even if that likelihood has just diminished a bit, my mind just gets a little easier.
"What's the situation here?
"I'm just checking, there are six mass-produced aircraft. I haven't found my head. One plane did the leg."
"I see, we're expanding this one too!
In line with Geo's instructions, the troops deploy to surround Abnomulet further and throw Bronzo as well.
With the explosion, I was able to destroy another plane's ankle. But there are still four enemy planes.
"What's left of Bronzo!?
To Geo's inquiry, Megan took two spheres out of her own waist pouch.
This is who Bronzo is. Magic Liquid grenades.
"Two. And the others?
"Oh, the timing is right. I'm sure it's about the same as the others."
"Give up this front too..."
"Too soon. You just let him down, didn't you?
"But if you can't, you're going to die for nothing. You can't put that guy in danger here."
"Damn...... right"
Just before I tried to give instructions to the troops to withdraw. Suddenly the march of the Abnomules stopped.
If you look at what's going on, you look alert looking north at the same time.
"What happened?"
"Confirm"
When Geo climbed the tree and checked the wary direction of the abnomulets, there was an armunale with sword feathers.
"What about him!?
Surprisingly, the Abnomules raised their left arms simultaneously, releasing the cannon towards the Armunale.
The bullet is skewered by a sword that was ejected at some point and falls to the ground before it reaches the fuselage.
And a distracting voice can be heard from the Armunale.
"Come on, isn't that dangerous? I'm just here to scout."
You make me want to scream without thinking what you're talking about, Geo.
But in the words that followed, Geo understands what Armunale meant to be here.
"You were attacked without such a question, we're going to have to deal with this one!
Suddenly, the fuselage accelerates, packing the distance from the abnomulets into one plane.
Then, with an instant crossing, two Abnomulets destroyed the cockpit and collapsed to the spot.
In addition, two planes will be destroyed without turning around, leaving only two planes in which the Geos destroyed their legs.
A blade was relentlessly protruded on both of those aircraft, and the voice of the pilot was heard from the Armunale, which in a moment completed its domination.
"Well, I just want to get back to the escort and move on to town - Shit, I'm too far away to see who I'm escorting."
What a lying act, Geo and his men erupt unexpectedly.
The Georges already understood Eldo's intentions and pre-construction for intervening in the battle.
That's why we accept ourselves to be actors.
"That's the Armunale there! This is the national territory of Belgio! Ask them to stop fighting on their own! If you want to resist, you have the right idea here! If you don't resist, follow our instructions later!
To prove that the Kingdom of Faithal and the Belgios have not yet become cooperative, Geo takes action, as he did when he first met.
To Geo's imminent act, Armunale's fingers made an OK sign.
"Georgo, are you sure you're okay?
Megan, who hasn't swallowed the situation yet, asks slightly anxiously, but Geo nods forcefully at it.
"Maybe the flow is coming. He could be our savior. Anyway, let's take him back to HQ."
"Okay."
They gave instructions to their troops to retreat and guide Armunale back to their headquarters.
