Sanzen no Souru Supina

■ Night 56: Ripping grin

"You're here. What, who is it?"

Aska said as she lay low.

It was not so long ago that Athelui, who had preceded him, signaled that he had waited.

It's about the arrow tip that tried to hit the camp, politely erase the traces, and then get home.

Sometimes the sea is close to the forest area, and the surrounding area is covered in milky dark mist.

You wouldn't have noticed if you weren't careful.

"Watch, is it? It is littered with dots and flames. I don't know the total number...... looks like a small squad"

Athelui opined as he dived into the ruins of the mossy temple.

At some point inside the mossy temple, there were armed soldiers handed out.

They don't spill one stupidity, not even in the thick fog of a chilly twinkle dawn, just sitting still and getting wet, and they keep walking on their sentinels without a single squirt.

This is hard to do.

Soldiers can be tough just to line up and walk straight.

It should be seen as quite high in both skill and motivation that no one is overseeing but that the individual performs the task in silence.

Asuka honestly felt unexpected that the soldiers of the Vibronze Empire were often so weak.

There are currently three or four fires in sight that can be confirmed, but there are probably even more people handed out to hold down the main points inside the Snake Temple.

"Obviously, you were watching our way home."

"It's upright immovable, and it's creepy where you don't wander. Feels like I saw it. It doesn't seem like a mercenary squad...... To be honest, I'm surprised Bibronze had so much practice.

Athelui said, gazing into the dark.

In the light of the degree of burning, it illuminates the view of the watchmen more than the appearance of the Askas.

In a world as white as milk flowing out of a pot, only its surroundings were stained orange, reflecting a blurry figure.

"How long do you think he's been here?

"Now, the exact number of mobilizations is unknown, but if you know who we are - you know as much as you need at least 500 elites to fight it. But I still doubt if we can afford to rip hundreds of battle groups out of regular power into the current Vibronze."

Athelui calmly determined enemy power from the national population of the Vibronze Empire and the number and current status of adult men there.

"At a time when the enemy's main force of 200,000 is approaching the walls, it would be a good place to finally mobilize a people of 1,000 years old and 400 years old who can carry weapons. Another 1000 or so are the mountains of Sekiyama, whether you hire mercenaries or not. Would such a small nation rip a rare regular force into such a mission?

Aska also nodded at the deputy's estimates.

Indeed, the torque of the Spindle is unstable here, unlike deep in the Temple's altar.

If we throw in that kind of force in this situation, how can we hold back the spindle men because they are human beings... there is no great difference in the fate of an empire at sunset when we discuss Asuka here.

And no matter how weak the spindle rotation is, Focus will be activated, and both Aska and Athelui will be used by warring soldiers to wrap their tongues around each other.

If we meet head-on, our enemies are not free.

If you're quite capable of playing Abacus, you don't feel the risk of committing it is right for you.

"Luckily it's this thick fog. Avoid engaging as much as possible, but don't hesitate to get rid of it as quickly as you need to, and gauge the breakthrough."

"That sounds good. Let's tell the horses."

It was then that Asuka, who specializes in eccentric moves (arts) with the animals, tried to tell their horses how to fight them.

"Hundreds of armed soldiers?! What do you mean? Isn't this as if someone was ambushing us!

Darieri said at an unusual volume, back-to-back with the two of us secretly watching how things were going.

"Shh!"

"Slow down, you idiot!

Aska stood her finger in front of her lips, and Athelui encouraged silence with a gen trick.

Guru, Darieri roars in dissatisfaction.

"Well, there seems to be something going on here."

And that's when I heard that voice.

The three of them rush to kill their breath and lurk themselves.

I could see another shadow approaching me, instead of a soldier raising a temper.

A spoken soldier does not respond.

Looks like the guards guarding the palace.

Sounds really elite.

"What's up, are you okay? What's that noise?

A new shadow heard.

There is a sound of metal armor.

I don't see him well, but the sound made me think he was an advanced knight with sheet metal armor all over his body.

The man says.

"What, are you a deer or something again? Hmm, I see. It's true that these woods are rich, but they probably have a lot of wildlife. Rabbits and deer are still good, but they even have boars, wolves and bears."

As usual, I can't hear the soldiers, but the knight's arrived well.

Compared to the soldier's level of practice, this one is somehow... lacking in tension at a quiet pace.

Aganaya Orthodox Church, the national religion of the Vibronze Empire, says it attaches particular importance to spiritual and theological thought and meditation among Ixis.

It's good to be faithful, but it's also said that leaders tend to indulge in religious arguments because they despise seeing reality.

Even the extraordinarily Orthodox ones, who are the same Ixists, say, "I don't practice my thoughts very much," so I guess that's a tough lean.

Or it was inferred that the senior knight might be a man with a strong tendency to do so.

"Fair enough. You look worse than that, Omae. I'm tired of working on days in a row. No matter how serious you work, you won't get anything if you fall. Get some rest. Let's go back to camp. It's morning."

and spoke to the soldier unilaterally like that, interrupting the sentry.

"You've had an unexpected chance."

'You can keep doing this - let's get a better idea of the situation. I want to know the total power of the enemy. "

Quickly, Athelui dived into Asuka's arms.

The lights of the pine lights and the sound of metal armor take them together and leave slowly.

Apparently, the senior knight intends to give rest to the other outposts as well.

Pai Dawn is indeed also a time when humans lack concentration, but it is nevertheless a swallowing knight's hall.

Even if not, the alternating time of the holding area is said to create a gap.

Aska thinks you're the kind of guy who might be a good guy but can't be born.

Whatever it was, it seemed like a good opportunity.

"The usual one"

"If it's this distance and the opponent, you don't need to prepare for it. I will give you the smell and plumage of your Highness. '

At the end of the word, the power fell out of Athelui's body.

They want to leave the conscious body and possess one of the soldiers who wants to leave.

The effect immediately appeared.

"Hey, what's going on? Stop suddenly. The camp is almost there. Hang in there."

The senior knight, who at some point led the squadron's outposts, looked back and said:

One of the soldiers was late.

I was surprised, as the knight would say, that there is also daily fatigue, but what is it?

Athelui thinks this body is strange.

It's terribly cold.

No, it's cold.

Deal with the conversation in front of you while you think about it.

"Ahh-ahh. It was a little blurry."

Athelui panicked because she couldn't speak well, but the senior knight laughed with an indescribable grin on the mouth of a barren beard.

A man's face, which would be magnificent, can be deeply wrinkled by his expression.

That had shaded and created a personality that could not be replaced elsewhere.

"Well, I can't help it. Keep an eye out for the Prince of Osmadra, he said, but he couldn't even get a clue, so he camped in the woods and patrolled the same place over and over again."

"Why... why were we doing this?"

"Come on, hold on tight. I know you're sleepless, but it's your job. Your Majesty ordered me to kill you."

His Majesty the Emperor meant Lucatius XII, Emperor of the Vibronze Empire, and Athelui, possessed by His Highness's youth, turned his thoughts around.

I don't have to think about it. It's natural from their gear...... so these soldiers will be under the life (meh) of the Emperor of the Vibronze Empire, not at the behest of the Serpent Witch: Sidre.

Was Sidre and Lucatius still inside?

But even so, the flesh of this young man is strange.

Heavy.

Are you just tired, or is it some kind of drug effect?

It's like what happened in the water. Everything is so bad.

"It was. Your Majesty ordered it."

Athelui returned his opponent's words intact so that he could not understand his inner agitation.

"At first glance, you're a good man, but our majesty... Yeah, I can see that. He's quite a schemer. Otherwise, you will not obey us."

"Strategist"

Without having to go through a last-minute interaction, Athelui had already gained certainty that there was a great discrepancy in the reputation and entity of the literary emperor: Lucatius XII in the public.

But I didn't expect to call the emperor a connoisseur, even though he didn't have any ears or eyes in him.

What is this knight?

Athelui thinks.

The good human grin that I see in front of me when I think about it also kind of seems like it's just a strained eel.

The knight says how well he has not learned the movement of Athelui's mind.

"Yes, yes. I'm not just following a serpent witch. We're talking about waving spicy arms in a magic book that reveals the past of others."

"Magic Book"

At this time Athelui was feeling something odd about the flow of the story.

This guy is talking in front of me now... why do you know so much about this?

But I can't think well of a feeling that should also be called cold tiredness that wraps around my whole body getting in the way.

The only knight in good shape is the one in front of him.

"That's not all. The ability to read ahead is also quite good. We talked about not having military talent... Previously on General

I don't think I was willing to do that. "

I've just come to the point with Aska, but the Battle Poor of the Vibronze Empire is famous.

From its former territory to its present appearance, that is where at least half of the reason the empire collapsed into thousands of parts of the national territory.

Current Emperor: As far as Lucatius is concerned, he is so shady and treated like a whore by the mouthwaterers of Western countries.

With an old man who is making a leap to cut and sell territory to defend a bigoted one-city state.

"But what I truly sympathized with that human being was the desire to establish and maintain peace in the world. I want to create a peaceful, unchanged, peaceful world. To this end - scrap, manipulate and spread the risk of hazardous elements. I'm fascinated by the way you think."

"Omae... is... who?

Funny, Athelui was convinced at the time.

Absolutely this guy is weird.

reflexively asked.

I really should have run.

But that was impossible.

It was a trap from the beginning.

"Who's Omae?

I could see the man's grin ripping to his ear.
