The directive given to me by Her Majesty the Queen is "Assassination of the Demon King".
This is an unprecedented scale of difficulty. Honestly, I'm not sure.
But Her Majesty the Queen said:
- Assassinate the demon king and put an end to this dragon demon war.
I snorted deeply at the words. [M]
Who would be glad to consume soldiers, wizards, and dragon maniacs, if one of them won this battle?
Doesn't it just reduce the power of the Moon Warcraft to fight it?
That's what I think.
"I'll do whatever I can to back it up"
"Thank you. I'll make sure you succeed."
I want to end this unprecedented crisis with minimal damage.
I know exactly how Her Majesty feels. That's why I took it on.
Well, it's a demon army trend that's invaded the dragon kingdom.
Except for dropping the town of Hollis, I'm still not sure.
Even though I got the directive, it's not my turn until I get some additional information.
I just need to know more soon.
The prerequisite, he said, is to gather stories from the Shadows, who are now in the town of Hollis, and from those who have escaped the town.
Inquisitive information, if there is a demon king there. Fine, if not, he will be somewhere within the demon kingdom.
We need to find it and infiltrate the demon kingdom.
If possible, there are other important pieces of information. I want to get it all.
For example, where is the Demon King, the rash of those who guard the king's surroundings, and what kind of magic magic can be used?
Many (shadows) were dispatched to look into such matters.
In the meantime, I'm not just waiting, I'm staying at the royal palace.
So that we can move as soon as we get the information, but also to protect Her Majesty's surroundings, just in case.
The royal palace raid a year ago is still new to my memory.
The thirteenth staircase of the demonic kingdom came both of them, and many soldiers died in the royal palace.
It is also possible that the last raid was a glimpse.
Now the royal castle and the royal palace, many people are in and out.
Meetings are also held day after day, and with it, those who work lower are packed day after day from morning to night.
There is also the possibility that an assassin will come when people are disturbed and security is out of focus.
That's what they told me. I also joined Her Majesty's escort...
"Sentinels at sea should be a little more frequent. For that matter, tell them to pay attention to the" shadows "of each town, as the streets will lose sight of surveillance."
During the day, there are many eyes around Her Majesty the Queen, and many guards with them.
I specialize in nights. Protecting the surroundings until Her Majesty the Queen calms down.
So I figured out, the Queen is busy with her work.
Despite meeting so many people during the day, deciding on paperwork and making one difficult decision after another, different reports come at night.
Give all of them precise instructions and process them.
I've always been awake when I went to see her, but with so much work, I can nod it too.
If you're so busy, I don't think Her Royal Highness is going to be able to hold you together at all.
His Royal Highness the Prince, who is said to be too serious to accommodate, is likely to conduct his affairs solemnly.
I really wonder when Her Majesty the Queen is resting.
"I don't know..."
"Yes, that's all for today"
My fourth day on the Queen's escort. [M]
The appointment ended early.
I wondered if I was going to sleep early today, Her Majesty demanded a change of tea and turned to me as I was melting in the dark in the corner of the room.
"Hey Leon. Shall we talk a little?"
"... Ha"
I emerged from the darkness.
"The Devil's Army doesn't seem to be moving from the town of Horris."
I'm talking about an earlier report.
"I think that's a solid castle wall over there and a good town to use as a base. You're going to consolidate the scaffolding first."
"Right. Usually that's the right thing to do."
At the time the report went to Wang Du, the town of Horis had been dropped.
As I found out later, the Demon Nation Army had broken into the whole town in small numbers without using the streets.
There were a lot of demon soldiers all over town where surveillance seemed strange.
To the demon army that reached the walls. The town of Horis closed the castle gate and entered a protracted battle to wait for reinforcements.
But being called from within, he couldn't resist much, and the castle gate was opened, and he fell.
"I don't think we're gonna keep the same thing because we've tightened surveillance in other towns, but you're wondering what we're gonna do next."
You can't be satisfied with just occupying one town.
From there, march toward the king's capital, or drop the town of Saul, the peripheral necessity.
These two are powerful possible maneuvers.
"Will it be difficult for our country to recapture"
"If you come with the intention of destroying the town, you can do it."
If the Devil's Army is all over town, the whole town will be a battlefield.
It would be the same if the army were withdrawn from the town and decided on this plain.
It is no better for the Dragon Nation side to destroy and reclaim the town than the Demon Nation Army almost got the town intact.
"I wish I knew what my next op was going to be."
There was no such thing in today's report.
It is now on the way from the demonic kingdom itself that merchants are bringing supplies into town.
If you attack a merchant, supplies will no longer reach the town of Horris.
Then it is also conceivable that the inhabitants were harmed and that the attack on non-combatants would make Dragon Nation's position relatively poor.
Since the merchants are officially carrying loads at their request, it is better to say that they are operating for business or to improve the lives of their inhabitants than to bear the burden of war.
Not only the demonic kingdom, but also the merchants of the merchant and technical kingdoms, make it impossible to decide to eliminate them easily.
And when it's deceiving, the town of Hollis is recognized as a demonic kingdom by its surroundings.
That would also make it possible to occupy another town as a base there.
It would be a rusty headache.
"What happened to the northern invasion?
"You just got a report in yet. Looks like he didn't head directly to the town of Sourel, he attacked the surrounding villages."
This is also strange, but it seems to have divided the troops into several parts and attacked the surrounding villages.
And there were reports of grabbing people in the village.
Villagers had not been evacuated, although a vigilance order had also been issued in the surrounding villages.
We know that we traveled in the middle of the night without the moonlight and all raided a quiet village.
When the village was attacked, he said, "Wasn't recognition sweet? Some said," but the village has never been targeted before, and there is no place to evacuate all the villagers.
Fortunately, at the very least, was it an ambush by the Demon Nation Army and less damage caused by the villagers' honest obedience?
"We were also, indeed, putting out a scourge on the village. I didn't know it was for that..."
He had sent out scouts not only to each town, but also to the villages.
That had also been reported to Sir Lithwarn and Her Majesty the Queen.
However, I didn't care about the village either because I heard the goal was the town of Sourel.
I didn't think they'd come after me first.
"You're late for a report on the Northern invasion. But Lithwarn will still do something about it."
The town of Horris had already been dropped in the south, and the village was targeted in the north in reverse.
If there is this raid as one of the major strategies, you should be very careful about the differences in movement than you don't know why.
"Don't you know where the Demon King is yet?
And why I'm here.
We haven't been able to locate the Demon King yet.
"It has been confirmed that the town of Hollis has a king's flag. But you don't know if that's all there is to it, do you?
"Yes, if it's a king's flag, royalty can use it."
If someone from the royal family comes out, the king's flag will be used.
I'm certain there's someone royal in the town of Horris, but I don't even know if he's the Demon King.
I guess the lack of a report from Shadow is because we haven't been able to get that far.
Can't wait for additional reports.
