Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill

Then a few days later, if my own army had solidified its readiness to go out well, a reconnaissance gathering information on the enemy came to report in a hurry.

The reconnaissance went to the clan for a report, and I was curious, so I went to ask what it was about, too.

"The enemy army has begun a strange move. It looks like we have a giant device that we've never seen before."

"What?

Clan gives a sinister look when he hears that.

A giant instrument, what comes to mind when I hear it, is the story of a secret weapon, which was developed in Belzd, where the apostle was saying before this.

Was it true, not a lie?

I thought so, but I'll reconsider right away.

This weapon is also likely to be a lie.

I would just be preparing something that isn't actually a weapon at all, as if it were a weapon.

However, if I can show you where I'm actually even getting ready, it might be a bad idea to do some more careful research before I go.

It could be unexpected, it could really be an example weapon, and it could be a pretty powerful weapon, even if it's not powerful enough to destroy a city.

How will the clan judge?

"This is also likely to be a lie...... but if you don't pin down who you are, the ministers are scared and it's possible that you have morale...... it will take a while to find out who the weapon is. Is the enemy aiming to buy time? What a waste. Now I just bought some time and it doesn't do anything."

Looks like the clan is going to find out who the weapon is. The weapon seems to be out there, so we're going to figure it out, but it might take some time.

If the enemy's aim is to buy time, there are some things that can't be solved with it. I wonder how much more sense it makes, making more time now, as the clan says.

Are you sure the weapon development is going on and sticks until the development is complete or something? Um, it's not zero probability, but assuming it is, I wouldn't take this method. If it's enough to buy me a little time, I think there's another way.

So, besides buying time, does it have a purpose?

I honestly don't get it.

The clan seems to be going up on weapons, and we're going to have to wait for information for a while.

To find out the information, I used a non-shadow detective. Shadow was unable to use it because he had an important task to protect himself from the clan.

A few days later, an undercover detective returned unexpectedly early.

I didn't hear the report directly, but after Clan heard the report, I gathered the ministers and told them about the secret detective's report.

"Example weapons and things still seem like bright red lies. The enemy seemed to be trying to boost his defense by drawing attention to the weapon and, as he was buying time, setting up a sneak magic trap. If a secret detective had failed to grab the information, it might have been a little nasty."

I see, was that blind?

If they do talk about a secret weapon beforehand and have a weapon that looks like it, this one pays attention to it.

In the meantime, if you set a trap, did you really do what you wanted to do?

"I understand the enemy's outlook. Belzd is going to drop it in a siege, so he'll be able to drop it trying to get trapped, but there's a risk it'll take him a long time to waste. Let's go out before we can set a trap and crush the enemy's prospects."
