I watched the demon army retreat from the trees. [M]
The fact of the fall of the Demon King passed on to the entire army, as if the waves were spreading.
"Has there been a directive for withdrawal before the upset soldier escaped? That's a quick decision."
It was the demon soldiers who hesitated, but they did not escape disturbing the calculations when the order came out early.
Though not neat, it looked like a calm enough retreat.
"We're done here, and we need to stop the flying rocks..."
Stay diving into the darkness and return to Shalazad.
"Shalazad, that's enough. The enemy has retreated."
"Hmm. Are we done yet?
I laughed bitterly at Shalazad, who was not tired.
Even rocks that some people hold with both hands are only pebbles for Shalazad.
I guess it's not as injured or anything as flying off the top of the mountain.
"The troops downstairs withdrew. Let's go home too."
"Aye, okay."
Ride the Charazard and go for the town of Saul.
The Demon King is dead.
Her Majesty's directive was entirely possible, but I do not see why Her Majesty issued such a directive at this time.
I'm sure he had some idea.
"The problem is postprocessing."
There were some irregular things going on this time.
One was to infiltrate an army camp.
It was not to be praised for assassinating an enemy general.
"Her Majesty's orders, so I'm sure you know that too..."
It's not something I care about, but I wonder if you don't look good around the country.
"And you used stone-throwing."
When it's investigated later, it's certain that the dragon's presence will be eliminated.
Some soldiers would have survived and couldn't move, and I don't think they could have accommodated all the wounded in the dark.
You'll see what happened tomorrow morning when the Dragon Nation Army detained him as a prisoner.
Even the withdrawn demon side must investigate.
"I hope they haven't seen Charazard..."
What you can tell in that state is that there are no soldiers, no machines, stone-throwing from the summit.
It's obvious it's not a paranormal phenomenon, and is it natural to suspect dragon involvement?
"It may not be in the capital's official records."
If no one has seen it, Her Majesty would say there is no need to leave speculation behind.
I mean, Ariel.
Instead of the King dying in the night raid of the Dragon Nation Army and the Demon Nation Army dropping around the retreat.
Or the demon army damaged by the collapse of the cliff retreats... is that the place?
We still have time until sunrise, but I don't think we can get distracted. It's not good to find out Sharazard walked out.
I will gently return Shalazad to the dragon house and I will go home too.
And the next morning.
"... hmm?
My father hasn't woken up even though it's morning time to plant it.
I went to see if that was the case, and my father's not home.
Looks like we went out...... that means.
"Were there other directives?
I'm not listening.
I'm talking about my father who's back on active duty, so I don't think it's a problem... but I'm a little worried he won't be back until morning.
I thought... my father came home.
"Welcome home, father. I did the morning trick."
"Oops. That helps."
"Looks like you're tired... something wrong?
"This is the time, I went on a night tour and found some suspicious people outside the walls."
It seems my father has found a professional combat group outside of town.
"Battle group? What is that?
"I guess I infiltrated town and tried to open the gate from the inside when the Demon Nation Army arrived. You're watching the town now. So sneak in in the middle of the night..."
As for Saul's entry into and exit from the town, he only blinds his eyes to the suspicious.
No one gets close to a town where such a war is looming, except if its inhabitants and acquaintances are in town.
The discovery of the suspicious may be surprisingly easy.
For that matter, it is highly difficult to infiltrate secretly.
So you thought about sneaking in there.
"How long have you been there?
"You didn't have a hundred. A few people use magic. About twenty spellmen. The other half was like soldiers. And then there's mercenaries or assassination group people."
I mean, if we let those hundred people all over town, the interior would be confused, the lord's hall would be attacked, the house would be set on fire, the gates would be opened.
"Infiltration is a lot of people."
"Local cities are protected by us. I guess I didn't think it was possible for about ten or twenty people."
That's a hundred. But that's a lot.
I guess the Devil Nation really tried to drop this town.
It seemed pretty dangerous, although I was glad I was still able to prevent it because my father was there.
"So, how was it over there?
"Yeah. I made it."
"... right"
"The wizard guarded the king's circle, so one by one, the only thing left was the basilisk."
"You fought?
"I don't know. I wonder if we can say that we fought."
It was difficult because I couldn't be seen. [M]
He told them that the soldiers had begun to form a circle, so they had confused them with the throwing of Shalazad stones.
"I see. Nice hand. The demon kingdom will be confused from now on."
"Yeah. So the king's dead, and it's gonna be pretty confusing."
"A new leader will put it away. And we'll start as a new demon country."
"Really?
My dad says it's like he's been watching, but he caught on a little bit.
"It will. Every country has a successor. If the country is disrupted by the assassination, it is self-evident that those who will fit it will come out"
The old will disappear, and the new will build them.
Well, I wonder if Her Majesty went for it.
"But I wonder if it's going to work."
"Well, that's what you're thinking."
"I'm thinking, who?
"Of course, demon king...... no, ex-demon king"
……
After that, my father and I started molding and baking bread because we were going to open the store.
And "Plump Fenard" opens today.
Rumor stories of the people in town jumped in when the morning busy as if on the battlefield had disappeared and the store had finally regained its calm.
Yesterday was the Dragon National Army, which once pulled the line to fight well and re-laid the line as it returned to the town side of Saul, but they decided on a night raid by will that night.
The night raid, which put in roughly half the number of troops, said it succeeded in plunging the Demon Nation Army into chaos.
On the moonless night, it is also a battle on mountain roads.
It was supposed to be an act of barbaric courage, but he said he succeeded in making the enemy's point and withdrew with a strong blow.
The next morning, the high morale Dragon National Army deployed its troops for the showdown, and the site camped by the Demon National Army was a mushroom.
He said it was after he had already withdrawn.
"That's the Dragon Nation's local army."
I thought you'd do it.
The inhabitants are as happy to win as we are.
He said he would join the central army soon to come from the Wang capital and look into the preparations to drive the demon army back outside the border.
"It seems to be a rumor that..."
I gave my father the information I had purchased from the customer. [M]
"You've hidden your moves well."
"And your father's activities."
We Shadows do not become rumors about the inhabitants of the town.
Don't be a rumor.
It's only because it won't be rumoured that I can work with confidence.
"All right, I'll take care of the afternoon, so you write down a report to deliver to Her Majesty."
"Ah, right.... I'm not good at it."
"That's why you're called a brain muscle. Write it down."
"Yes."
I took off my apron and went back to my room.
Well, what shall I write?
