When I was hiding upstairs in the Marutai cabin, there was noise downstairs.

This was the meeting room and around, but apparently it was the right place.

Third and seventh scouts have returned this morning.

"So how's it going? Well, let's just say we hear from the Third Repellent."

The first thing I heard was a young voice.

In contrast, the other one looks pretty old.

"Report. The town of Dulu seems quite alert. The castle gate was always closed and it was hard to get inside. There are frequent dragon movements and the number of soldiers patrolling the perimeter is higher than usual."

"Hmm... I guess I'm concentrating my power because of the proximity of the shady moon road from town. How about the other one?

"The town of Sourel has relatively little movement and not much dragon in and out. However, the castle gate remains closed."

"Right. How's the soldier doing?

"Not so active. If you look at the exercise outside the castle, it looks highly proficient."

"I see... Dalton, isn't the Second Repellent back yet?

"It's about time you could return at a distance, but the town of Urs is on your way, so you can't get useful information and you're probably still in dragon country"

"I guess so. That'll be the liver of the operation. I was hoping for some early information."

All the towns we talked about are the names of the towns of Urs and their satellite cities.

From these Rapid Warriors conversations, they're going to invade the Dragon Nation, but the city isn't sweet enough to drop just the power here.

Don't they even know that?

"All right. Shall we listen to the Seventh Repellent Force?"

"Report. We're on our way. It's the village of Yomina, the village of Illigis, the village of Sajen, but the situation in the village..."

Reports continued after this.

Looks like they're using scouts to crush towns and villages within the dragon.

Not only the number of dragons and people, but also movements throughout the town and connections with other towns, the amount of stockpiles, and the entry and exit of merchants, were also in the investigation report.

From the mouthfeel, it seemed that there had already been an examination in the past to see how this major metastasis had changed or not.

Turning off the signs and listening to me, I heard people coming in and out, and the number of people downstairs was reduced to about half.

"Dalton, I think it would be good here and here if I were to attack. What does your lord think?

"I thought General Ellen was right. I think these two locations, where reinforcements will arrive late due to the surrounding conditions, are exactly what this operation is all about."

"The problem would be the castle gate. The dragon country side would naturally be open, but our country side seems to be closed. To bypass the city and attack from the Dragon Nation side..."

"You'll most likely find it before you reach the castle gate where you bypass it. It would be the same if it could be closed."

"If so, do we have to open it from the inside"

Apparently, he was spreading the map and talking, and I didn't know which town he gave up as a candidate.

I just understood what you wanted to do. Sometimes I just refer to them as Rapid Warriors.

I intend to attack Dragon Nation immediately.

"When do you tell the soldiers about that?

For a few minutes, my voice was lurked.

"Let's do it on the eve of the operation decision. You can still keep it a secret now."

"... ok"

"Instead, you should threaten the civilians a little... well, pick a few people and put on two or three of the injuries."

"Right. I'll arrange it right away."

"... I wonder if there's anything else"

"Speaking of which, stockpiles are getting a little less forgiving"

"Uhm... because I only brought the amount I needed. Let the civilians carry it at the time of the decision. How much is left?

"Is it usually enough for ten days and a little bit? I think if we reduce it from today, we'll have it for over twenty days."

"No, it's fine as usual. It won't take long anyway. Not when all the scouts are back."

"Ha, I did. We'll be ready in no time."

After a brief confirmation afterwards, the signs below disappeared.

In part, there was something I didn't understand when I heard it.

I just know you're ready to wage a war.

Let's do a lot of research at night.

With that in mind, I took a nap in the darkness of the attic and waited for the hour.

This undercover mission is very different from normal.

No merchants enter or leave the formation, no one leaves the formation.

We don't have the kind of people we can easily contact to ask people and gather information.

"You're in trouble."

Materials can be fished, but no corroborating testimony is likely to be obtained.

There were civilians caught, but if you come into contact with them, you won't even allow me to keep a secret.

There are those who hold grudges against the soldiers, but they may be demons and uncooperative to the detriment of the demonic kingdom.

"I'll let you get away with it..."

I wonder if you'll trust me to make sure you let me get away with it. Might not come aboard.

Yeah, let's use voice calling as a last resort.

Let's start with the usual search.

I move through the night book. [M]

There's no place I can't travel to that melted in the dark.

I looked around the tent one by one and stared at a place that seemed important.

"Are we still in the middle of cleaning up after dinner outside? Looks like it's too early for bed."

Then I have time to come back.

The chest carried into the tent has not been subjected to any magical conjuncture.

You tread that there is no one here to sneak in... No, maybe there is no wizard if this is all defenseless.

Check the allowances and equipment brought in.

Then I found out something unexpected.

"... this is the seal of the First Army of the Demon Nation."

The First Force of the Devil's Country is elite.

Just the knowledge I learned at the academy, but this unit should be the one with the most combat experience.

"You said General Ehraan in the daytime conversation. Does that mean, General Heydon?

If it's General Haydon, he's a celebrity. If it is Sir Lithwarn who defends the town of Urs, it is General Heydon who attacks there. The two forces are said to be mutually reinforcing.

Is it named Ellen Heydon? Speaking of which, such a name, you may have heard of it.

I was taking a college class seriously for once, but it would be suspicious if people asked me if I remember all the names and affiliations that came out of the class. Sometimes I forget.

But that's crazy. I can't believe the best of the demon kingdom is here... I thought of the soldiers in the day.

I don't think he had a stamp on his chest. I mean, don't you bother?

Seems like it was deliberately taken off, but I wonder why.

If you belong to the first unit, you can be proud of your unit.

"... I don't know what that means"

In the first place, the elite of the demonic kingdom hid in a place like this. What?

There's still something about this.

I felt the need to further check my luggage.
