Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 78: The enemy is in the main temple.

"Krumfal territory is set to be outrageous"

"What do you mean?

"The northern meadow is reborn into a barn zone. Rice, wheat, and fields... crops were growing as far as I could see."

"No way, on such a helpless land? Wasn't it a dream?

"Don't be silly! I only saw it with these eyes before I came here. Definitely."

"In addition to salt, Krumfal territory also got a card called food."

"That's not all. Many people gather in Krumfal, mainly in hotels with improved buildings. The population is also growing exponentially. There are also rumours that many mercenaries were also held. It means it's not the Krumfal we know."

"Damn, it's abominable. This is all because of that Birtherm, too!

In one of the rooms of the luxury hotel in Teito are Baron Jono, Vice Commander of the Ausche Northern Army and Baron Gragolaire. All three were entrusted with the administration of Krumfal territory, but with the pattern of knowing the status quo or throwing it out as soon as possible. In fact, these three were classmates at the Royal School and in what is called a childhood relationship.

They don't know yet. that the Birthams have another card called "Fisheries".

"Leaving Krumfal alone any more is going to be a pain in the ass."

"No, it's already a pain in the ass. The people who migrate from our territory to Krumfal are constant. If there is any more outflow of people, our territory will be driven into distress."

It is Baron Gragolaire who mourns so. It has a territory just to the north of the Krumfal territory, but it lives with the people by covering half the territory with forests and making sure that the conditions of being in the mountains go hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder on less flat ground.

"Surely when the people spill out in that narrow territory of Gragolaire, there may be something harsh."

"... thought of a good thing. There's a way to get rid of Birtherm and get all the Krumfal food. Why don't we split the salt and the crops of that territory?"

"That's Jono. What kept you quiet until now was you thinking about that! Don't get wise, as always!

Ha-ha-ha! And an orche who laughs joyfully. The three covert discussions took place throughout the night.

Three days later, Baron Gragolaire visited the Imperial Knights under the Northern Legion Commander, Lafayence and Vice Commander Auche.

"That's unusual. I didn't know the Baron was coming to visit me."

"Nah, three days ago, I was on my way to Imperial City, and a bandit attacked me in the woods. The raid managed to escape, but I have to go through the Imperial Forest the day after tomorrow when I return to my territory. I was wondering if I could ask the Knights to escort me. I don't want you to escort me to my territory, I just need you to escort me to the vicinity of Krumfal territory through the woods."

"Bandit?... I haven't heard that story?

"Then find out. But my return the day after tomorrow can be changed. Baron Jono is supposed to come to my realm for an inspection. You're going to Grago Rail with me. I would hire protection, but I have guests. It must not happen in case. That's why I'm here to ask the Imperial Knights for a favor. Can you think about that place and put some protection on it?

"Captain, do yourself a favor. In Krumfal territory, there are over 100 bandits who were also attacked when I pulled up to the Imperial capital. Those who take over 40 powerful Imperial Knights will not be alarmed. Perhaps part of it lurks in the Imperial Forest. We should get the troops out here and look into the woods while we guard the baron.

"... well, if it's baron protection and bandit exploration, you can let the soldiers out. Take them about a hundred."

"No, Captain, I'd like to take a thousand of my men, if possible. It's an exercise for my men. I think it would be a good training opportunity."

"... okay. But I won't allow you to take the time. It's been three days. No further searches."

"Ha."

"Lord Commander, thank you for your consideration."

That's how Ausche got permission to move the soldiers.

Three more days later, after noon, the Ausche army, who accompanied Baron Jono and Baron Gragolaire, left the Imperial capital.

The row proceeded smoothly with the pawns, and in the evening the march stopped in the woods, just short of the border with Krumfal territory. And Ausche commanded all the armies to camp.

"First things first. That's good."

"There's nothing wrong with my operation. I'm sure Birtham's neck and torso will be separated by noon tomorrow."

"The rising aristocrat told me that he was incompetent as a commander. Now is the time to rinse that stigma. I'll show him how I fight!

"Dude, don't get too hot, okay?

"I know. I'm always cool."

"I hope so. Well, let's make a final confirmation of the operation here. At night we continue on Krumfal territory. [M] Then, before dawn, we break into the woods and storm the Birtham Hall. He's in the hall. My scouts released to Krumfal are still witnessing yesterday's return to the hall. He kills. And... let's kill all the people in the hall, too. Then turn back to Empire City. Bertham's neck and the bandit's neck, if you're a bandit, there's no problem because you're appropriately choosing humans from the slams of the Imperial capital. Take them and go under Captain Lafayence. Bandits attacked me along the way and it became a battle. And the bandits fled into Birtham's hall. As we stepped into the mansion to capture him, the Marquis emeritus covered the bandits and launched an attack on us. We had no choice but to fight and, as a result of the unrest, we also suffered damage to the people in the mansion. In fact, the bandit's mastermind was the Marquis emeritus of Birtham."

"Oh, I know"

"After what has happened, I will visit His Majesty and play along with Baron Gragolaire to allow him to manage the Krumfal territory. And when we enter the land of Krumfal, we will reap all the crops and the salt, and we will divide them into mountains."

"But does it work that well? I don't think His Royal Highness Vairas has shut up."

"That's what's going on. Bertham remembers His Majesty well. A lot of nobles hate it. If Birtherm becomes a traitor, both His Highness Weilas, who pushes him, and hence Chancellor Gremont, weaken his voice. That's why you support me."

"When that works, my Gragolaire moisturizes, and Ausche can fund his birth. More importantly, Jono might get Krumfal territory."

"I'd love to. I'd like to get the hotel and its view that His Majesty has been indulged."

"You don't want to get those unusual things from your childhood."

"Say what! You have no idea. [M] The value of the hotel."

"Don't you guys fight! For some reason, your fights all the time. Don't let this Ausche be the arbiter. It's not too late for a fight."

"Sure."

"Right."

"All right, it's time to summon my men. From here on out, it's my role. I'll show you how I do it."

"I hope so."

"I asked you!

Late at night, breaking the silence, an emergency call was made to the Imperial Knights in the camp. Well-trained soldiers will be ready and aligned immediately. At the same time, Ausche stands before them.

"We're going to conduct a night march. Everybody, equip the actual sword! Head to the bandit crusade. The target of the attack is a hall where bandits are twisting around. Crusade everything inside!

Auche pulled out her sword and raised her voice as she pointed in the eastern direction with it.

"The leader of the bandits, Birtham! Marquis Emeritus of the Empire, it is Birtherm! Go on!"

A thousand Imperial Knights began marching without sound.
