Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Around the same time, in the fort of Hyama, the Linos were drawing on the captives of the Royal Burial Army.

"... I see. You're telling me you've been ordered to leave without any explanation?

It's Matocal talking in a calm voice. beside her, Linos and Knogen, and Rufana refrain. Before them like that, two men were in awe. They named themselves Kupi, the commander who had previously defended this fort, and Tomai, his deputy. They had answered Matocal's questions only as promises.

"Very well. Nevertheless, I often defended this fort with these five hundred soldiers. Thank you very much."

"It's an honor to keep it in compliment. But we're not doing anything."

"No, I followed our surrender recommendations honestly and dawned on the fort. You saved the lives of five hundred soldiers. I hope you're proud of your decision."

In that word of Matocal, they bowed their heads with an indescribable look on their faces.

"By the way, can I ask you one thing?

It was Linos who spoke up. As always, for covering the majority of their faces with cloth, I don't know the look on their faces, but a voice in a good mood was enough to relieve the two of them of their vigilance.

"Yes, if that's what we can answer, then what?"

"I wonder who's protecting Dorga?

"This is His Royal Highness the Duke of Elsack. I can give it to you, brother of His Majesty the King. I don't care who you say..."

They were looking at each other, but eventually, Kupi opens his mouth as he chooses the words.

"In a nutshell, he's a serene man. Sometimes I scold my men for trivial things, but do you think it's tearful, someone with a thick heart?"

"I see. I wonder if His Royal Highness, the King's brother, could be sitting in the Commander-in-Chief only if he had the thickness of his affection"

That's what Linos laughs at, Cook. And keep the word going for the Kupis again.

"Anything else? There's no such thing as a military master? I mean, he's like advising on military command and operations."

"It's..."

"Are you there?

"We're not sure."

"Don't know?

"Yes. In this Dorga offensive operation, two commanders were suddenly attached by order of the King. Anything, he says he's an unbeatable amateur in other countries... However, those two have little to do with us... Always served near Lord Elsack."

"Maybe they are."

"What?"

"No, we're talking over here"

Linos said so, nodding small toward Matocal. Take it. She turns to Kupi and Tomai again.

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work first. I might call you when there's something else, but you need to get some rest first."

That said, she urges the two of you to leave.

"Oh, I'll behave curry at lunch, so I hope I'm looking forward to it. Curry, don't you know? It's Agarta's specialty dish. It's delicious. You should eat it full."

To Linos' words, the two bowed their heads in confusion.

At that time, one of the soldiers approaches the Linos and falls on one knee. Seeing the situation, Kupi and Tomai followed the scene with the soldiers of Agarta.

"What's up?

"Ha, I say. Outside the fort is now a woman named Seewa, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Warlov Imperial Army. Four others are visible. And..."

"And what?

About 10,000 soldiers are waiting outside.

"I'm sure you're here to receive this fort... Master Linos?

Not responding to Matocal's voice, Linos looks to heaven. Eventually, pointing his gaze at the soldier, he mutters in a small voice telling him to let it pass.

"Well, are we finally getting to the bottom of this? What's gonna happen?

With that said, he is nodding in small pieces, with his arms around him.

Eventually, guided by soldiers, the Siewas of the Warlov Imperial Army came into the room. Seewa, glancing at Matocal, bowed her head slightly with no expression and sat straight in front of her. Gigi and Toitz sit next to her, as if that were a signal. Chang and the two workers refrain from standing behind them.

"Don't just stand there, why don't you sit down?

Linos speaks out unexpectedly. For a moment, the two gave a giddy look, but eventually turned that gaze towards Seewa. But she sighs grumpy little without any glance at the two of them.

"You two are the shady meritorious men who fell this fort. Don't just stand there, please, come here."

That's what Linos tells Knogen to do. He commanded the soldiers to prepare new chairs and put them beside Linos. And I invited the two of them to sit there.

"So, what's your fun?

Linos opens his mouth without any foreshadowing. From that voice, I saw negative emotions that were neither angry nor unpleasant. Seewa opens her mouth with a voice that can't put any emotion into it.

"Thank you for your hard work in recapturing the fort. I'd like to start by thanking you. I apologize for the disrespect that Chang and the workers have done, and I am here to receive this fort."

"Rude? What are you talking about?

"Despite your country's occupation of this fort, Chang and Worka did not even receive it and have returned to the ranks. I know how much time you've put into it since you occupied it. My apologies."

"No, I'm not struggling. Instead, these two are right in their judgment. It's annoying as far as this one is concerned if they come right after the occupation. Huh?"

Linos turns his gaze to the matocals. They nod slowly.

"It just so happens, and if it were, it would be something that our army would refrain from beside, so we would receive fortifications immediately after the occupation."

"It's supposed to be, yeah. But we're in battle now. It would be imperative to respond ad hoc according to the circumstances."

"I don't know what you mean."

Linos moved Pickle and his body, immediately holding back beside him, turning his gaze to Chang.

"How can we not even know what we're talking about?

"No... no..."

"In the first place, we told you we didn't need reinforcements. That's because I thought we should do more to recapture the Dorga than to divide the number of Warlov troops into this fort. I was told that if the Agarta army dared to attack, the entire army, including Warlov, would carry out a total attack on the Dorga assault. But no one moved, even if we dared to storm. If we had dared storm this fort shortly after it was recaptured, we would have achieved quite a bit...... Definitely the enemy would have been upset. Isn't that the perfect opportunity to stick it in there?

"That's a trick."

"What?"

"In the first place, the Agarta side is breaking their agreement, right? We're trying to ignore it at all, but if we get caught up in it, we have to change our minds, right?

"Breaking a promise? What are you talking about?

"We were asking you to storm Dorga against your country. Yet your country did not dare to storm the Dorga and headed to this hyama. Is this breach of the covenant also said to be an ad hoc response on the battlefield? So, if so, I think it's outrageous. Good because I happened to be able to drop this fort this time, but if the fort could not be dropped, there would have been many more casualties, including Agarta, if other troops had dared to storm. We keep the lives of our soldiers. Your unsolicited behavior will cost you a lot of lives, won't it? Or will they say in Agarta that soldiers, as one of the pawns, do not think about life or anything else? If so, Agarta's fame will fall to the ground. I don't want to do that. I want Agarta to be a great country."

"Excuse me, sir."

One woman came into the room so as to block the story of Seewa. What was that, Vieille?

... Also, when it's tough, you've done it, Koz.

Linos was smashing his tongue with that in his heart......
