"You were the boy I was listening to."

On the way to the settlement where the second-hand split Xingying tribe lived, a co-traveling colleague accidentally leaked that way.

"Oh. It's good to hear from your husband."

High pressure or arrogance?

I wouldn't have been readily admitted to depositing my life with Harold, even if I hadn't listened to my personality beforehand, not very much.

But as you can see from the last inspiration, Harold is just a boy full of kindness who can't honestly deal with people. Otherwise I can't even do this.

I get an emergency call, and I remember the day this life was given.

What Tasks, their master with a strange face, uttered was an intervention in the battlefield where a massive battle was expected.

I have done my life's work many times. It's not like I didn't like that life.

But not like my husband, everyone felt. Guess what, the task tells the story of this one.

'About this job. But I said, ostensibly, it's a dispute between the Knights and the Xing Wing tribe, but behind it lies the existence of the Sarian Empire. To crush the Knights and the Star Wings together'

'... what are the thoughts of the Imperial Army?

"I have information that the exact thing is both weighing and measuring, but it is the captivity of the Xing Wing clan."

It would certainly be a matter for the state if that were true. If overlooked, it could develop into a domestic conflict.

But I couldn't wipe the discomfort.

"If that's all it takes, we shouldn't send in regular soldiers, not shaders like us."

"This time the information is scarce in certainty and cannot move significantly. If it's true, I'd like to avoid sending you. I want you not to understand that there is a connection to Smeragi."

"He said he'd turn us even at so much risk."

Dark, ask why.

It was a bitter laugh to get back from the task against it.

'... it's not something I've been praised for, but I've put my shoulder in you, Harold'

Harold. The name sounded familiar.

Erica's fiancée, son of the Smeragi family.

He's also been collecting information about Harold since he decided to get engaged, but he's a boy who doesn't hear very good rumors. Many people can't honestly congratulate their engagement because of that.

"How did you get his name here?

"Harold, you're going to the battlefield alone to stop this fight."

'... can only be described as reckless. We should stop it.'

'She won't stop. I've been alone, alone, fighting all my life.'

The task squeaks sadly. The figure also seemed to blame himself for being powerless.

The task is trying to support Harold until he bets on the survival of the Smeragi family. It wasn't an easy and convincing story from a human being who didn't know Harold's identity.

"Why did you get that far?

'... this is something you should keep a secret if it's true. I was going to take it all the way to the graveyard, but Harold, I'm going to give you my life, and you guys should talk about it - except what I told you first is absolutely useless.'

The temperature in the room dropped at once. The more illusory it is, the more intimidating it is from the task.

Cold sweat tells their cheeks as they dive through a number of dead lines.

"I swear by my loyalty to my husband."

"Thank you. Now, do you know any of these stories about you killing a servant?

"I hear you."

Harold's evil deeds have reached their ears, which also assume the role of spy. Murdering a servant is the best of them all.

That's a major factor connected to opposition to engagement.

"As a matter of fact, he didn't kill his servant. Harold, I saved your parents until I bore the blame of murder to protect a servant who was about to be murdered. Harold, thanks to the gratuitous funding I received from you, his servant and daughter are still living in peace."

What the task revealed was a story of incredible content.

Harold allegedly killed a servant three years ago, when he was only 10 years old. Can such an elderly child form all that?

"If that's true, why are you lying down? And publicly, you can shut up your engagement opponents. '

"Harold, you don't want that. I gave top priority to the safety of the rescued girls, and I dared to" kill ”them. Praise or fame for yourself is second to none, that girl. '

So I guess the task decided to draw its will and take it to the graveyard.

That's what a 10-year-old boy decided. The thought of it clogs my chest.

How hard was it to be scorned by those who knew nothing? Still, he has penetrated his own decisions.

"... and Harold is the one who developed and provided antibodies to temper and LP farming methods."

'Is it true?

Everyone had to be stunned by this.

Antibody medication that I thought was manufactured with all the specified materials due to the sudden Great Decree of the task. I know how many people were saved with that.

LP farming methods developed with groundbreaking methods. Everyone understands that that has had a significant impact on the economic recovery of the Smeragi territory.

The people of Smeragi territory praised the task with their mouths. That's our lord.

There's no shadow or form there, such as Harold Stokes' name. It's all supposedly due to the handle of the task.

'Oh. Still, he doesn't try to put his own name on the table. To prevent my parents from knowing I was a developer and exploiting my rights. Maybe you thought that would help fewer people.'

I would cut and throw away the praise that I would otherwise be exposed to, and I wouldn't even try to do that if I wore an unwarranted stigma.

Even to protect someone, to save them, they keep killing themselves. Maybe that's the essence of a boy named Harold Stokes.

"Harold is also the one who grabbed this information. That would have crossed a dangerous bridge, but the only thing you asked me to do was" get me my Saryan Empire uniform. "And then I put a piece on myself. '

……

They also understood why the task put Harold on his shoulder.

Harold is the Smeragi family, and the savior of the Smeragi territory. I owe you nothing.

The boy was about to head to the battlefield alone this time to prevent a domestic conflict.

"Harold, you are getting used to being lonely. I don't like to rely on others, I'm a clumsy boy. Sure, his mouth is bad and he shows arrogance, but he's really sweeter than anyone else. I really want to protect her like that."

The thought of a task as if it were directed at a real child.

Then it is our duty to make it happen. Because to a man named Tasks, and to this land of Smeragi, they also feel great benevolence.

"Thank you for your patience."

Everyone drips their heads in an undisturbed motion.

There was no one left to disagree with this mission involving a serious danger.

Harold, who took off the Knights' armor and became a uniform for the Sarian Empire, walks like sewing between the growing trees. Travel at high speeds down roadless paths that can't even be called evil roads.

Black outfits chasing it away. It's great to be able to talk about Harold's speed, even though it's not all he can do.

(I hope you got some morale just now......)

With them on their asses like that, Harold was thinking about that.

I have a sense of sweetness over this period. Still, I don't want them to die, either.

Well, Harold is definitely more likely to be attacked.

Organize in your head the information brought to you during the time you came here.

The army of the Sarian Empire is roughly 150 men. Within, about 100 people are engaged with the Knights. The remaining 50 are carrying out an attack on the Xingyang clan.

It was a frank feeling that the number of people would climb five times the amount of information that had been brought forward in advance, but much less than expected. The total number of Knights seconded this time is over 200. A numerical disadvantage is inevitable.

But this is supposed to be the realm of the kingdom. It must have been difficult for a large army to break in in secret.

If you think about it that way, you might rather say that many of them could have broken in.

Furthermore, the number of knights on sentry duty in the woods is about 120, and on top of that, they act divided into teams of around 15. If each of them is guided, there is a risk that the formation of exploration may be unbarreled to the target.

If so, the disadvantage would be covered even if it was inferior in number somewhat. If it is an ambush, it is all the more so.

Besides, I assumed that the Knights would be devastated by the original stream of Robinsons dying in battle, but from the Yustus of the mastermind, it would be enough if we could even make a fait accompli of capturing the Xing Wings and “the Xing Wings attacked the Knights”.

There is no need to destroy the Knights.

I guess the Robinsons had bad luck if Harold was right. I needed to die in a scenario, maybe just because.

Ideally, then, it would be impossible to settle before the patrons arrive.

That's the only way to get Cody back on the front.

"... that's close"

Angers and screams began to reach Harold's ears. With each step forward it becomes loud and clearly audible.

First I caught up with the first team.

"Spread out. Look around while I stand on the arrow."

"Ha!"

The black costumes disappear into the deep woods after leaving words indicating their understanding. In terms of covert performance, it's a far outnumbered group such as Harold.

If Harold had drawn both enemies and allies, he would make the most of it.

In the lower half of his face, he wore a leather mask covering his mouth and nose. It is visible that if we find out who we are, we will later develop into trouble.

I also thought about making it a mask that could hide all my face, but I declined because my vision was narrowed and I feared it would interfere with avoidance.

Breathe in and kick the ground even harder for more speed.

To deliberately boast of his existence, Harold unleashed his magic toward the sky. It is sucked into the blue sky as thunder cleaves through the trees as it bursts and roars.

He also exposed himself in front of unknown colleagues whose names had been stripped of consciousness by a sudden lightning strike.

The only person there was a Knights person. I'm guessing the soldiers in the Salian army are hiding themselves and putting them on ranged attacks.

This may also be a means to eliminate the numerical disadvantage.

"Hey, what!?

"Hey, that!

One of the knights points to a place and shouts out loud. At the end of that gaze was Harold, who stood beneath the branches and looked down at the Knights.

Drawing a sword from this sight increases the vigilance of the Knights.

But it's still not enough. This alone does not determine the awareness that the enemy is the Salian Empire.

Hence Harold puts his sword on him and tells him as he creates a sense of villain.

"Joy, knight of the reabel kingdom. I ask you to be the foundation for the glory of the Empire."

"The glory of the Empire, and... are you willing to wage even war!?

(What, is that how you interpret it?

Harold is now dressed in the military uniform of the Sarian Empire. And neither the pronounced mouth nor does it sound like it suggests a war of aggression for territorial expansion.

On top of that, what would happen if we exposed the truth under the day that the attack on the Knights and the Xingyang tribe was the work of the Sarian Empire?

It was natural if you think calmly. If you do poorly, you could be an inspiration to light a war between the Kingdom of Liebel and the Sarian Empire.

I think of that possibility now, and I get a nasty sweat.

But I can't get this far and pull.

Besides, it was none other than Justus who instigated the Salian Empire. If a series of events is exposed, there is a danger that even the involvement of Justus will be exposed.

I don't think that genius leaves the possibility of flying off to himself. Probably have countermeasures in place to make sure it doesn't matter if the Kingdom finds out that the Sarian Empire was pulling the thread behind it.

So it's okay, Harold inspires himself.

"You're dying. You don't need to know. All personnel, stand by."

Like the commander, I give instructions to the Salian army that would be lurking... pretended.

Even from the Salian army, Harold's presence would be a mystery. An irregular who suddenly appeared.

But to see it, he's an imperial soldier, and he's about to launch an attack on the Knights. Obviously hostile.

If you look further at the glowing medal with your left chest, the rank is Ensign. If you ignore it, you will violate orders.

It would be Harold's win if they thought so lurking.

"Attack initiated!

And Harold, he grabbed the victory brilliantly.

Shortly after issuing the decree, bows and arrows fly simultaneously from the perimeter. The Salian army executed Harold's orders.

Each of the knights bows and arrows and dodges. Fortunately, there are no dead or seriously wounded among them yet.

And this cracked the position of the Saryan army soldier lurking.

All that's left is for the black clothes to capture the Salian soldiers as they operate.

(Please, let me finish as soon as I can for a second! Seriously!)

Harold pleaded so in his heart, keeping a moderate distance to buy time and releasing magic with great care not to hit him.
