"Leon, I've been waiting for you."
Mr. Ann rushed right over to me.
"I need to talk to you, can I ask you before I do?
"What is it, Leon?"
"It's about attracting the previous raiders. How far did you go in preparation?
"We've decided to be pretty specific. … come to a place where you can talk alone, as it will be a secret story"
Mr. Ann takes me to the ops conference room.
There's a guard guarding the entrance, but I wonder how you see me and Anne getting in here.
I'm somewhat curious to see the chills, but I've never moved on Mr. Ann.
Don't you care much or are you used to it?
"Bye, Leon. I'll announce the details of the operation."
When we were alone, Ann came up with a single map.
"Is this... near the path of the Yin Moon"
"Yes, it is. I think it looks like a simple map, as the wasteland is spreading with nothing"
"Is it the woods that are everywhere? It's not that big."
"It is. It is dotted with about ten small forests. I'm going to make this my enemy's safe house."
Anne, who thought she should also leave a point in her opponent's favor in order to put up a trap this time, said she decided to look for points where there were multiple places where the enemy was likely to be hidden.
He continued to dazzle with the map and finally discovered where it was now spreading on the table.
Ann placed a square stone in the center of the map.
"Mostly I'll build a 'front-line base' around here. Even so, I'm already starting to make it."
"It's about halfway between the wasteland and the forest."
"Yes, I went to see the site, but it wasn't a meadow, it was just a place with sparse grass growing. Create a" Front Line Base "here to attack the enemy."
Moderately far from the woods, it's quite a sight to see.
Here's Mr. Ann's operation.
Gather the Driven Infantry at the 'Front Line Base' for training in the wasteland during the day.
Back at night, watch and go to bed. They repeat that.
"The enemy hides in one of the woods and comes to cast the Moon Warcraft in good time..."
"Exactly. We checked when we gathered the Driven Infantry Corps, but it still looks like we're being targeted. Many suspicious movements of the Moon Warcraft have been confirmed, including success and failure"
"Really? If so, I can't stop thinking about it."
"Yes, and we believe that there may be raids even fairly far from the sun, and the enemy may not be alone"
Multiple offenses?
Come to think of it, even if you say you will strike the Moon Warcraft, it can fail.
If the Moon Warcraft catches you on the way.
If you run late, you die. You don't have to die, you could get hurt badly.
It is also well thought that multiple "escape actors" are available.
"When do you think you can start?"
"It'll take about ten more days to get together. 'Front Line Base' has to build something big too, and it seems to take as much as that."
"Then I will sweep the surrounding Moon Warcraft. If you don't sweep enough, you might bring in dozens of Moon Warcraft."
"Thank you. That's all I'm talking about, but Leon wants to talk to you."
"It is. Looks like the demon kingdom came to the merchant military gates."
……
He looked like he didn't know what it meant.
When I first heard the rumor, I didn't know what it meant either.
I told Anne the story that Linda told me.
"… so it seems that the Devil's Nation, whose neck has stopped spinning because of debt, has put a balance on whether all merchants will turn that way or accept the dominion of the merchant country"
"I can't believe the demon kingdom was like that..."
Exactly. Anne can't seem to hide her shock.
From what I've heard, he hasn't come in from the moving-country.
"I was surprised, too. It's hard to understand what's going on between nations."
"It is common for a country to be in debt. Although the country of skill lends to the merchant country."
They don't press for repayment or stick their demands around it because it leads to mutual trust.
In the case of the moving-country, you seem to be getting paid by the merchant country for the use of the technology, exploiting it little by little rather than selling the technology entirely?
Anne said the merchant country might have done something similar to this to the Devil Nation.
"I guess the merchant country also hid it so well. If Her Majesty had known beforehand, she would have taken some action."
Or I think I got in the way of the merchant country at pinpoint.
Wasn't this the devil's side not grasping the total amount of debt?
I'm surprised for the first time they poked me with a deed...... that could happen.
Then I gathered information about Harim while hunting for the Moon Warcraft.
Harim has now dived completely underground and has not even found traces with the dragon kingdom's guard net.
It is my belief that Halim is up to something somewhere by disappearing in earnest.
I don't think those five heads are hiding themselves just to escape.
There are limits to what I can find on my own, and I'm thinking of asking Her Majesty the Queen for a visit.
We have reported so much on the destruction of cultivated areas and factories that the only thing left is Harim himself, but this could be a long battle.
When I was thinking about that, I got word that Mr. Ann was ready.
Show me the gaps, lure them out, slap them all at once.
The operation is about to begin.
