I look out of my face.

"This is the port town of Hajre... you don't look like you have a fleet"

Yarkov shows his face from next door.

"Yes. It's the size of the port that's big, but it's all about fishing boats. We repair nets to relax."

We were arriving at Harbor Town, our first scout.

Of course, you can't expose yourself to grandeur, so it's a reconnaissance from the top of the hill where you can look down on the town while you're hiding.

I don't know the details with my eyesight because of the distance, but enough to see if there's a big battleship.

"Terrain is almost invisible from here -" Out of the way! ♪ What? ♪

Yarkov lifts up his distressed voice and pulls him into the box, and Celia turns up instead.

"If you have a fleet, there can't be a fishing boat staying in the best part of the harbor, and you can't expand your fishing net so much because you'll have supplies. I don't think they use it here."

"Right."

Out of the five preferred candidates, first off.

I wish they'd found me first, but it's not so sweet.

"And yet... you're at peace. It doesn't look very much like it was occupied by force."

From here, there is no reason for the fire to be dull in Hajre, or for soldiers to be present.

Peace itself is elsewhere with the flag of the Southern Eugrian Empire flying all over the town.

"I can't even see it after the battle... maybe Hajre didn't resist properly"

"At the time of landing, the victory or loss in the West Bank was like a decision."

It would have been militarily disadvantageous, but most importantly, Goldonia did not have a battleship, so it was impossible to withdraw a large number of soldiers.

The irremovability is enough to break the morale of the soldiers.

"There's that too..."

Celia thinks mummy.

It is very cute because it is only visible from the face.

"Magrad was a highly resistant area after the occupation."

"Right. made me struggle."

I don't have very good memories of this place either.

"So with the king's measures, we divided it into regions… the governor's office, the generous forces, the cold forces."

"I think Eirich said that"

I don't really remember, but Celia's cute, so let's hear some more.

"The way we rule while dividing local forces into two opposing each other may be good for normal governance... but if our enemies attack, we have no unity"

"I guess so."

The opposing local A- and B-forces, the governor-general's office that controls them, shall be C.

A, where there is an overwhelmingly strong C to represent dominance in the context of its power, is such a structure as bullying B.

B hates and resists A who directly abuses themselves more than the absolutely stronger C.

A is also irritated and oppressed by B, who does not obey the rule.

Conflicting A, B in the ass. C just stands up and dominates...

But what happens when a mighty D comes here hostile to C?

B is about D without any resistance.

Because if C loses, revenge from B is certain.

If you look at the situation as unfavourable, you will lean over to the new ruler D and get in a good mood.

"It's an easy way to govern, but if an outside enemy comes, it will become a sandy cabinet..."

"Yes."

Celia got a lot smarter.

But the way I talk now, I feel a little Leopold.

You'll always be cute.

"As long as the man in the Governor's office's armor is cooperating."

Yarkov says with his face out of the other side of the box.

"The governor's office wasn't a single rock because of Gilcria Blue."

If he hadn't lost his leg, it would have come together for better or worse.

"The more you think about it, the worse the invasion was at the worst time. Bad luck, sir."

That's what Celia says and pulls nuzzly in.

Admiral, let's move on.

"Right."

There is no fleet here, nor does it act as a home port.

We should go next.

Nothing noticeable happened on the road to the next town.

"No, Master Agil was on the verge of finding..."

"What would have happened if the lady hadn't driven?"

Enemy scouts arrived at a place where people were alarmed that it was a secluded place.

He quickly hid in the grass, but somehow the scourge stopped and came straight to where I was hiding.

Celia took off half her clothes and covered herself when she didn't think it was a good idea.

In the grass, the scourge of discovering us tangling our bodies half-naked while kissing left with a sigh of sigh.

Either way, we're going to the next town, Suka.

"... here is"

"That's terrible"

The town of Suka was half-destructed.

The city walls have collapsed everywhere, and the central lord's mansion is burning down.

The houses are burned and broken, and half of them are safe or not.

"I see some lords resisted."

"Were you severely loyal or too unscrupulous to pull in"

There's no point in thinking about it now.

"So, the fleet... it's pointless to think about it."

The harbor is also burning down and the equipment is turning into a pile of rubble.

Instead of replenishing or repairing this, I don't even remember to moor.

"Not here either."

To the next town.

"It was dangerous!

"Admiral..."

"Sorry."

On the next road, an enemy sentry cavalry was seen, and we lay low in the wetlands and hid ourselves.

The enemy didn't notice us, and he thought he would just walk by, but for some reason, one enemy couldn't leave me.

Celia tossed a knife near a flock of waterfowls and let them fly in unison.

Although the enemy soldiers were surprised for a moment, they laughed small and shook their heads and left.

"I don't remember stepping on Doji, how come he always comes to me"

"Well, the presence of the Admiral..."

"Master Eigil is not fit to hide in the first place. Because you can almost see where we are in the mansion."

It may have been a failure to follow the reconnaissance mission.

But I can't help it now, so let's do everything we can.

The next port town was definitely Jeannine.

Arrange for a nearby hill to scout the town...

I can't see a thing.

It seems there was no fighting in the town of Jeannine, covered by solid city walls to the harbour.

"You're in trouble."

"At Mr. Leopold's behest..."

Celia confirms Leoporto's instructions written on the map.

"That's the only place where my gaze comes through."

Where Celia pointed, there is a simple fortress, with the flag of Southern Euglia standing.

I just can't go.

"It says we probably need to infiltrate because we think we have enemy positions..."

It's dangerous, but I can't help it.

"It just shouldn't stay the way it is. I need a disguise."

"Right."

Me and Yarkov just think a little bit.

"What kind of outfit would I wear to disguise?

"Is it a pedestrian in general?

I see the 105th regiment.

"Oh, shit, I'm going to the whorehouse."

"I feel more like a booze than a woman. Drink till you throw up... why are you touching my ass in the tavern?"

"We have a beating. I brought you all the money, but you can't use it when you think about it."

"" "Woman... liquor... beating..." "

I shake my head in silence.

"Can there ever be such a bad pattern of merchants? I can shoot you in one shot."

"So... a bard or something?

I say my eyes to the soldiers again.

"You guys know poetry and songs?

"If it's a drunken song... Uh, our 105th best army! Fight! Kill! Offender - Gu!

I kick a soldier's ass and shut him up.

Seeing a dull man, a bad laugh leaks from his surroundings.

"It was just futile to think"

"Right."

Is there a group or something where these guys can disguise themselves?

Me and Yarkov twist their heads and think.

And I hit my hand at the same time.

"A burglar. These robbers can disguise themselves uncomfortably."

"If that's the case, let's start the disguise!

"" Whoa!!

A modest cheer is raised, and the soldiers wear disfigured clothes, defile their hair and peel their swords.

Within minutes, a group of bandits could be formed.

"Perfect. It's the perfect bunch of bandits from anywhere."

"Yes, Admiral, whoever sees it won't think it's Confederate or Goldonian. You can't do this!

The disguise is complete.

Let's go scout the town with dignity.

Celia grabs my arm as she stands up in a whim.

Yarkov then gets a full kick in.

"If the burglars get close to town, they'll attack normally. I'll do it, so please take a break."

In the end Celia disguises herself as a few of the best in the face and infiltrates the town.

I tried to follow him with concern, but he turned away and ate a polite refusal.

A few hours later, Celia returns safely.

"In conclusion, it's a mistake. They say the fleet was here until a few days ago."

"Was it too late..."

We drop our shoulders disappointingly.

"Once we heard about fleet size in town... we can't just have this kind of uncertain information"

"That's right. There's no point in coming all the way across the river without actually seeing it with your eyes."

"Let's go to the next town."

With that said, Celia unties the disguise and takes out the knife.

"What are you gonna do with a knife out?

"I'm going to kill the fool now. He went to the whorehouse while I was listening."

"Son of a bitch! Only one of you freaked out!

"I can't forgive you! Miss, don't do this!

Yeah, the noisy ones.

"Celia, do it when you get home"

Of the five candidates, three are coming off... and it's not going to be a smooth sail anymore.

We couldn't even find the enemy fleet in the fourth town of Kalburi.

Likewise, Celia heard that there was an enemy fleet here, but they sailed away a few days ago.

Apparently, the enemy was rallying the fleet divided into ports in one place, as Leopold and the others had expected.

And the last scheduled reconnaissance site, approaching Thebia.

"In the end, it took the most time"

Celia drops her disappointed shoulder.

I don't have a choice.

Still not the worst.

Except on landing, never been found by an enemy so far.

It is an achievement that cannot be considered a covert operation, and Celia's achievements in this are significant.

"I owe it to you. You're getting really smart."

"Ha-ha-ha"

Caress Celia's head to cheek.

Rubbing off her tense skin leaks a happy exhale.

Celia, who had a blissful look on her face, woke herself up bulky when she heard a small laugh leaking from Yarkov and the soldiers.

"And I need to do a reconnaissance!

Celia kicks Yarkov's tibia and then takes the lead and moves on.

"But to be honest, I doubt Thevia has all the enemy fleets."

Celia says with a slight drop of her shoulder.

"... Hmm"

I'll check the map again.

Leopold's writing contains at least all the information up until the beginning of the war.

It follows that Thebia is once a famous port town, but the size of the port does not seem suitable for mooring a large fleet.

The five candidates also entered because of the excellent terrain of the estrous harbour and the geographical proximity to the major cities.

We observe Thevia with care not to expose ourselves.

"Hmm."

"Again... I'm not here"

A few small battleships were moored, but not on a scale that could be called a very fleet.

I'm sorry to hear that.

When I almost say that, Celia realizes something.

"Dear Eigil! Look at that, look at that!

Following a white and supple fingertip, there are numerous luggage cars stopping in town.

"If you look good, the town is full of husbands too! I'm being put in a luggage truck... it looks like lumber!

Yarkov also says excitedly.

"The port is being expanded! Plus there are countless buildings in the back of the river...... definitely. The enemy fleet will be here!!

Its intentions are obvious, such as expanding the harbour during the war.

Changing the location and observing, the expansion of the port has already been completed and a number of brand-new buildings have been built.

These are definitely seen as facilities for fleet operations.

"I see... if you're behind the inlet, you'll never see it from across the shore"

"Besides, the entrance is also equipped with cannons. You can't even get close by boat."

The more Yarkov growls.

Thebia is definitely the home port of the enemy fleet.

But you're not here.

"... Yes"

Definitely, but still no enemy fleet.

It was the harvest that pinpointed the location of our home port, but our aim is above all to know the size of the enemy fleet.

"What's going on in Leopold's operation?

Celia looks down and opens the map.

"'Withdraw immediately if no enemy fleet is present on the five scout targets' …"

Disgruntled Celia.

I know how it hurts.

She has tried her best to get here.

Even though we've located our home port, if we keep going home, the operation will fail.

Efforts are not rewarded.

"Admiral, give me that."

Yarkov points to a large group of carriages bound for town.

Quite a few of them.

After the carriage passes, the soldier brings what appears to have spilled off the carrier.

"Lettuce."

Lettuce doesn't hold much sunshine once it's harvested.

When it comes to being transported in large quantities, it is likely that there are prospects for consumption in the short term.

And Thebia's population is not that large.

"I guess wanting vegetables... isn't the ladies"

I take a bite of lettuce.

The fleet will be here any minute.

But he's not here now.

And the plan is to return immediately without an enemy fleet.

"Is there only a retreat?"

That's when Celia's hand gets on my lap.

"Dear Agil... let's wait"

……

I narrow my eyes silently.

"The area is surrounded by thick hills of vegetation and lots of shielding! There are as many places to lurk! Let's wait!

More imminent Celia.

Leopold's judgment is mostly correct.

That's what he should have done, because he had an immediate return and plan.

"Dear Agil... It's the next step..."

But it's unusual for Celia to come to me so hard.

Cute. That's all she did this time.

I want to reward you somehow.

"Admiral..."

Yarkov looks like he said something, too.

"Ni, you've been gone about three days."

"Oh, it's better to come this far and do nothing."

A soldier is smashing with a voice he hears deliberately.

All right, I've made up my mind.

"Yarkov, thoroughly examine the surrounding terrain. Find out where you can lay your soldiers down."

"Yes, General!

Yarkov smiles back and Celia's face gets puckered and brighter.

"Distribute the rest of the food to everyone. We can't just go around handing it out."

Sooner or later, a soldier will raise his voice.

Now we're out of Leopold's operation.

Act round the map.

Celia's gonna be fine. I'm gonna sit back on my ass.

Annette comes on that knee.

"Did you believe her?

"Naturally. That's my sweet Celia."

Annette entangles her legs in my back.

"Sometimes sunny weather can be dusty in an hour on the water. Do you understand, miss?"

"Idiot, it's on the bowman to misread the weather. Not cute Celia."

I'm the bowman. This is my decision.

"I hope you're lucky."

"Totally."

I put my finger in Annette's underwear.

- Three days later.

"Mm-hmm."

Celia walks around with a urchin.

We've been diving ever since.

Never discovered, there was about a trivial happening, but on the contrary, I didn't see any shards of the enemy fleet.

"It's been three days. It's time to run out of spare food."

When Yarkov says, Celia's uro speed increases.

If we run out of rice, we'll have to retreat at last.

Can't you manage to come by then?

"Annette, if you don't get a little more forward, the enemy will find you."

"Don't be silly. You just want to see my ass, don't you? If you just want to see it, you can have it."

"Mister, I'll smoke my meat so let me touch your milk..."

"His body belongs to him, so if you want to touch it, get your permission."

This one's relaxing over here.

"Mostly you, you were rubbing your hands in your pockets watching your temples last night? Damn near my face...... don't go any further if you don't want to. It smells like seeds. If it was, I'd kill you."

"Yeah!? That's what yellowing your pants is all about! You're here!!

"It's not this way!

"And what choice do you have? I could see half your milk..."

"Right... if you cut me two pieces of meat, I'll open my crotch for about five minutes and take a nap, but what do we do? Of course, if you touch it, I'll kill you."

The morale of the soldiers has not yet fallen either.

At that time, a soldier watching over a tree raises his voice.

"Your head! The ship...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

A few boats come from upstream when they are followed and looked at.

Everyone sighed and turned away.

"Uh-huh."

Celia also starts rolling again, smashing her slightest expectations.

I grab Celia's head like that and stop.

"Dear Eigil... I'm wrong too..."

I was about to tell you. Celia looks at my face and stops.

"No, it's a hit first"

Behind several canoes, small dots appeared to gush out of the horizon.

It gets bigger gradually. That, eventually, turns out to be a mast.

The same point emerges from left to right one after the other, turning into a large and small mast, and into a hull.

"Enemy fleet appeared! The number is thirty... fifty... more than that -!!"

Excitement Watch puts his hand on it and reports as he holds down his mouth, which is about to scream.

"Here I come! Finally!!

Celia is excited and up to tears.

"Count the numbers. You make a mistake here, I'll strangle you."

There is no rush to count the enemies heading slowly to Thebia.

"There are ten large battleships... fifty medium-sized... and a hundred small!

"Three more ships from the rear... not the size of a battleship! It's a battleship. Three battleships!

"There's no doubt about this number! All enemy fleets are here!!

Celia begins to jump out of her excitement.

"Mission accomplished. We're withdrawing."

The purpose has been achieved. There is no point in staying longer.

Everyone nods satisfactorily.

"Head -!"

The guard on the tree screams again.

"What? The enemy fleet was still there?

"Chisel! West, west street-!"

When you look into the streets from the interior opposite the river, a red stained line pops into your eyes.

"It's an enemy army! Five thousand or more, and nearly a thousand heavy cavalry confirmed!

……

Yarkov and Annette look at me.

"... not good"

That's all I can say.

Not a very good number to deal with.

"I didn't discover this one. Maybe just passing by on the move......"

At the same time that Celia says so, the castle gate of Thebia opens, and the army enters the city.

Further, multiple sentry units split from the main unit begin to scatter around the town.

……

Celia turned silently downwards.

"Cancel withdrawal, wait for the night before we do"

Nocturnal behavior is extremely dangerous in places without land exploration, but all those eyes have increased.

It was dangerous to retreat while there was a yang.

Now he's lurking his breath, crawling like a worm. Others...

"Hih!?

Noticing a small scream, he positively lifts the dual crater and takes the throwing stand.

It was a fourteen or five year old girl who stood.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

Thick mountain walking clothes, baskets in hand contain wild grass.

Mountain vegetable pickup... Sure, the hills we lurked in were unpopular and woody dressed places, but how could this be so bad between them?

"Shit!"

Soldiers point crossbows.

"Hi-no-no!!

The girl who flips herself and runs down the hill, if she doesn't, she'll definitely have us.

I can definitely hit it now, whether it's a crossbow or my sword.

The girl runs away screaming and rolling.

Even younger in the basket and opposite hand… I'm pulling the hand of a girl who won't even be ten.

You can't possibly be hurt.

"... damn!!

I spit evil and stab the dual crater to the ground, forcing the soldiers to punish me for crossbowing.

"Admiral!!

"Prepare to retreat!

How many minutes will it take for the girl to get back into town, and how many minutes from there until the soldiers listen to her and the search party comes.

I don't know, but we should leave this place at least a little early anyway.

"Just sink in."

Fortunately, the yang is about to lean.

But how much time do we have?

"All assembled. Retreat."

Cancún and the alarm began to ring from Thebia at the same time as Yarkov said.

Fast. I don't think it's a very little girl's foot.

"It's a good addition to just coming to a place like this to pick up mountain vegetables."

I accidentally look up to heaven and laugh.

But Yarkov and Celia are bright blue.

"Admiral, I've misplaced him, but he hasn't been found directly yet. Until night if you hide in a more woody place on the other side of the hill..."

I nodded at Yarkov's proposal, but look at Thebia for a moment and then deny it.

"No, you can't. Run down the hill like this and run away anyway."

"Then we see the whole thing from our enemies!!

I grab Celia's back collar and kick Yarkoff's ass.

"Just run! You don't have a second!!

The soldiers also scream when they look in Thebia's direction again.

"Do it!

"Run!

The red wolf smoke rising from Thebia, and the three ships were slowly turning back.

"Enemy Battleship Fire -!!"

A few seconds from the gunfire in our bellies, the top of the hill where we were just now blows up.

That opens the gates of Thebia on the signal and pops out to overflow the enemies that entered the town earlier.

"Run, run -!!"

I ran down the hill like a falling rock, protecting Celia from the impact of a shell that fell at close range.
