That's part of the city wall. It was in the side tower guarding the city gate.

There are only two men in armor in a round room loaded with heavy stones.

If you think the undead grabbed you, the man who snuck back with the outrageous news. Archer Humphrey.

And the other. Close to forty if you deduce your age from your appearance. What you're wearing is blue and black, shining Orihalcon armor. Dark blue room decorations are allowed only by the Knights Commander of the genus Wang. A tight, military-like body, but dark hair that should be in order looks inert for some reason.

Bertil Lagerbeck, head of the Second Knights. It was that person.

Bertil puts his hand on the phantom call mark (Vijoner) he puts on his desk. Starting a symbol and calling it a pair of symbols.

This was brought back by Humphrey. Unlike the call mark (Kohler), the phantom call mark (Vijoner) has the power to reflect the phantom of the figure of the person who is using it and show it to the caller.

It seems convenient to say that a voice alone can also convey nuances that are difficult to convey... but in fact, if you're close enough for something like this to go through, you just need to meet and talk to them in person, which is a less useless magic item.

However, it is very useful only at this time.

A visionary call mark (VIJONER) was used to face each other without the risk of going out directly when the enemy generals held talks with each other on the battlefield.

Less than 30 seconds after launching the phantom call mark (VIJONER), a figure of light stood on the other side of the desk pinched from Bertil.

From Bertil's point of view, it's a overlooking height difference.

Supposed to be an abomination in this country...... but too beautiful and fantastic silver hair silver eyes.

He looks like a child, but from the standpoint, he can look at you as if he is wearing his behavior as a nobleman. Should I say a little oblivious is the respect of the late child?

He was wearing a clean pure white dress, but the skirt depicted a creepy and disastrous red rose.

- This girl... "Princess Rose of Grievances"...

I didn't think it was exactly the monster that was about to destroy Ciel-Teira right now.

The illusion shown by the phantom caller (Vijoner) reaches out to overlap Bertil. She was also deep in the formation, apparently touching the phantom call mark (Vijoner) she placed on her desk. If you look closely, her illusion is her legs floating in the universe. Are you using a stepping stone, or is the desk over there lower than Bertil's?

Bertil gave me a shock, but I'll be right back.

"I'm Bertil Lagerbeck, the Second Knight Commander of the Siel-Teira kingdom. It won't be on the phantom call mark (Vijoner), but Humphrey, who brought back the message from you earlier, is also present."

"René“ Rose Like (Rosie) "- My name is Luvia Ciel-Teira. There's nothing to be thankful for, for having responded to a sudden request '

The phantom girl grabbed her skirt with only one hand on the token and thanked her.

"Earlier, once I was connected, I was disconnected..."

"Oh, excuse me. We couldn't get through from the Knights home, so we're moving closer and reusing it."

It's almost like finding out where Bertil is anymore to say this, but you can't possibly just come in with magic all of a sudden.

Besides, the magic defenses on the city walls are pretty good. At least, he'll hold out until Bertil gets away with the first blow.

'Oh, that's... I'm sorry to hear that you've bothered to do so because of the phantom call mark (VIJONER)'

"No, I don't mind. Careless."

Because Rene was really doing it without a backdrop, Bertil kind of felt like he was doing a bad job doing the slaughter calculations.

'I'd like to make sure before we talk, is it possible that this conversation has been stolen and listened to by someone else?

"... I can't say none, but I was wondering if that danger was very low. This room is being detectively inhibited as a command base on the front line and magical peeps and eavesdropping will be blocked.

It won't even be about physical eavesdropping. There's no one in this room but me and Humphrey, and there's no one around. "

'Is that true? My brother Wang, who names the king... and the First Knight Commander... and the Temple... and some kind of watchman... didn't you hear?

Rene just seemed anxious rather than suspicious.

He looks like a child who fears the darkness and instills a sense of asylum even when he knows his opponent is a transcendent undead monster.

"Yes, as a samurai too, I am somewhat confident in perceiving the signs of the hidden ninja"

'Really...'

Look at Rene looking relieved, Bertil only has a slight chest ache.

'Okay. Now let's get down to business.

... but perhaps my request comes with conjecture.

I want you to betray my lord Hilberto and carry me. '

I thought Bertil was here.

I had expected it, but when I was told to face it, it felt like it would make my heart eagle.

He betrayed the present king, who arrived on the throne in a coup d 'état, and defeated him...

'I am not willing to kill for nothing. I am not interested in this country flourishing or perishing after revenge.

If you do not want chaos and only seek peace in this land, then our interests should be in agreement in terms of ending the battle quickly '.

René puts his hand on his chest and states to plead.

Bertil watched it like that on the poker face. I can't put my faith in all Rene's words, but is there anyone else for her, such as the undead, who tells these things? I had the impression that she was smart and understood the logic of things.

It doesn't get painful to think that a kid like this has been unbroken and his neck dropped in the zeal of a coup.

But I didn't shake my head vertically with emotion.

"Frankly, there are two concerns.

Firstly, is the defeat of Ciel-Teira really inevitable? And are you indeed going to stay without harming the people?

Unless this is guaranteed, my betrayal will harm the country. "

'Naturally. But it seems to return your words......'

For just a moment in my silver eyes, I felt the cold light glimmer.

Rene laughs. Sounds like a prank.

"If you ask, 'Is the defeat of Ciel-Teira really inevitable?', 'Do you really think you can take me?' Let me say, '

"Huh...!!

Bertil gets stuck in words.

I've already seen how powerful she is. It's that junction breaker. More than 30 sacred wizards said they weaved together in strength, but Rene defeated it with just one attack magic.

The ensuing air war victory was also vivid, but that was the impression that he was still hiding his powers. Probably just waiting for the restoration of the magic I used to break the junction. With all his might, all the empty cavalry would have been shot down just by a magic attack from a long distance.

'From that point of view, the battle that is taking place now is just a branch leaf. How much you have put into the lives of the miscellaneous soldiers, and I will destroy them with a touch of armor.

There must not be enough fierce men to take me away. "

"You didn't say you weren't there."

Even assuming the knights, experts in combat, came out loud as miscellaneous soldiers, but I don't consider that a grand language spectacular. It's just a fact.

Even Bertil, who is supposed to keep the Second Knights and have the power to deserve their status, doesn't feel like he can defeat René with a single hit.

- But if Lawrence. Or?

"The opposite is true.

It will probably be a direct confrontation between me and the First Knight Commander that will determine the victory or defeat of this battle. If you look at that battle, do you know what you should do too '?

If someone could defeat "Princess Rose of Grievances," that would be none other than putting Lawrence down.

That Bertil agreed with me.

'If you retain more allied combat power until the last battle, gain an advantage in the showdown. As far as I'm concerned, I want to keep a lot of gestures to fight in full swing.

And you... if the Second Knights are safe, you should be able to exert great power whichever way you carry them.

The First Knight Commander has torn me before. You know how to fight then, don't you?

"Yes."

You can't know that.

It was Lawrence and the First Knights who fought Rene, but it was Bertil himself who flashed that method of warfare.

- If we put the Second Knights on Lawrence's support... we can do the same even if the First Knights are wiped out, right?

Lawrence is a strong man isolated from the rest, and Bertil is very much beyond Lawrence. But the strength of the individual knights, who are subordinates, is no worse than that of the First Knights.

Bertil cruises his calculations visibly.

Changes in circumstances that can happen. Rene's own strength. An undead army.

I don't really want to think about it, but if we give up protecting our citizens from the undead soldiers and give Hilberto's full support and support to Lawrence, can we defeat Rene...? No, if you can repel it even if you can't defeat it, Noaculio's reinforcements should make it.

"If only the Second Knights were safe, wouldn't you be able to tell which side you should be on?

"I mean, do you want to say that it's a good idea to look at each other"

Suddenly he's not saying 'betrayal', he's saying 'give me a respite to think if I deserve betrayal'.

"The Second Knights did not destroy the undead soldiers, and the undead soldiers did not kill the Second Knights.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't see the Second Knights as subjects of aggressive killing. I wouldn't bother killing you if you didn't have to.

Though I think ending the battle quickly is a result of mutual intent '

And silence flowed.

If the primary purpose is to defeat Rene, it is best to join forces with the First Knights, besides seeing how things are going...

Rene looks up at Bertil with a nervous look on her face. That figure only seemed to me to be a pathetic girl facing a mighty nation with a vanity called 'The Most Powerful Undead'.

Various calculations and simulations about future movements were moving in Bertil's head.

'... you just have to believe me when it comes to not harming the people.

I have already taken many lives, but fortunately now I am calm. I am not willing to carry out useless biocides.

I would like you to consider everything that you did not take the lives of non-combatants in the battle so far today '

"Wu......"

'So, as a sign of good faith, how about we withdraw the undead soldiers on the western streets that hit the other side of my headquarters?

If anyone wants evacuation from the King's Capital, I wonder if I should go through here. '

Words popped out of René that I never thought I would.

I also eat Bertil for this.

"What...? You said you'd throw away the advantage of complete siege."

'More than that, it's crucial that you trust me'

- It's a good time...

Bertil decided that it would be better to make a drop around here than to draw Rene's concessions any further. Cracking doesn't make it anything.

"... ok. Let's take a look first."

'Thank you!

Rene's face gets much brighter. He looked extremely impressed.

"But this is just a look. I act for the end of this country. Don't forget that."

'Yes, I know.

For the sake of closer cooperation, I think we will be in touch again if necessary. Thank you for your patience. "

"I understand. Now, make sure you keep your promise.

… Oh, and may I say one last thing "

'What is it?

Bertil couldn't help but ask, even though he thought it might hurt his mood a little.

Out of curiosity, I want to explore Rene's figure a little more.

"Why did you leave the soldiers?

Though the hand of fighting like this seems to have been fully obtained, Rene withdrew one of Wyburn's corpses from the army once in the souvenir and returned the pawn to the palace. I was concerned about the intention.

René, who was questioned, responded with no appearance of wolf.

'Cause I saw your struggle and I didn't think it was a glimmer, and I thought I should negotiate with you rather than keep attacking you like this'

"... Really?"

The First Knights kill because they gave it to the coup, and the Second Knights don't kill because they didn't move aggressively...?

Nothing. The Second Knights didn't fight on the side of the former King, and if you look at individual Knights, there are First Knights who question the status quo, as well as Second Knights who enthusiastically support Hilberto.

Rene's actions so far seem simple and lucid, and somewhere unnatural in the first place.

Wasn't one of the winners of the war an act of demonstration (demonstration) to pull himself out to the negotiating table? That's not why I didn't do any harm to the Second Knights... and I thought Bertil didn't say anything more.

In these negotiating seats, we recognize each other's deception while taking care of Pre-Construction and discussing it.

- If you can get your painful cousin poked and wolf... can you do this degree of abdominal arts? I don't like it at all.

If it's all going to be calculated, it's child separated cunning. Wrong is not what a 10-year-old does.

... Well, a normal 10-year-old wouldn't come back as undead from where he was killed with guillotine, but that would be it.

Bertil thought it was dangerous to think that he was just a child who would go and hit with emotion.

"Okay. Now this is it."

'Yes, I hope your choices lead to the results you want'

When Bertil thanked him and raised his face, the connection to the phantom call mark (Vijoner) had already been disconnected.

Upon confirmation that the effect of the phantom call mark (VIJONER) did expire, Bertil immediately took the folded bill out of his pocket.
