Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Lesson 1212: The gossip - The one who sleeps in the back -

Just a little bit, time goes back. When Kate was mixed up with evacuating villagers and lurking in the carriage. Kate told Shang that she was riding with him about something Tina had raised.

"The general?

"Oh, he is presumed to have died in battle or to be out of the picture."

Kate makes clear to Sho's inquiry. In that way, he will tell Sho why.

"Actually. I was shown a record of my engagement in the Crusaders... I know Cornelius is in command of the formation, but General Eric has never been identified. Not once since the formation."

"How could that possibly lead to his death in battle?

"It's easy. 'Cause you're suspicious."

Make it clear that Yuri is suspicious in Shang's further inquiry. That was something I would know if I thought about it a little. but this one would still be the difference between being educated or not depending on how big it leads.

He is an educated sho as a commander of the troops, but not as a mentor as Sola or Moment did. I didn't know where it was.

"What's this all about?

"'Cause think about it. Until now, the Erlic party has been in a predicament. Can it be normal for a general like that to be called a hero not to show up in front of soldiers who have never been in battle?

"Ah... speaking of which... that's weird..."

It does make sense that Hannibal isn't on the front line because he's closer to a military teacher than a warrior. but I find it somewhat odd that my son doesn't show up until, for example, when he has made his battle effort.

We don't show ourselves until when we win because, on the contrary, it leads to lower morale among the soldiers. but it still didn't seem like he was losing his morale. If so, it would have been more natural to think that it could not appear.

"That's the thing. If so, it is reasonable to assume that you cannot leave. And that's..."

"I'm pretty sure you can't make it out because of circumstances that probably don't make it to this table."

Taking over Kate's words, Yuri concludes to Sho. Tina's guess was that Hannibal had probably fallen before the flagship crashed.

"? How can you say you can't be out-of-the-box?

"'Cause what you can say about being out-of-the-box... even if you fall in battle, for example, you can normally say, right? I couldn't do that, which is why I fell in an awkward way when it became clear. And no one on this side is surprised, even though it's obviously not done. This means that the Crusaders may also think that General Erlic may or may not have fallen. In other words, the Crusaders have not been able to confirm the death of the General. If so, this assassination may have been aimed at the assassination before, not after the rebellion. It would be awkward on a boulder if this were exposed."

Yuri tells Sho's inquiry about her muscles. It is difficult to target an assassination of someone who is so called a hero by a boulder that his son has turned a handsome opponent into an enemy after building a formation. Once you're on alert, you can't pull out a hero without an extra power difference. If we can still assassinate him, it will be before this incident ever happens again.

I won't let the boulders reveal that. Because it is different from the public announcement that if I reveal it, I ran away resisting the quote that made the persuasion. And normally, the assassination is unlikely in this case. We have to deal with it and say no.

Because even in the light of the law, Hannibal can't be a capital offense when he sees merit. At best, it's a good place to tear down your house. If it were to be assassinated, many would think it was embedded in some ploy, and the center would still look at something that could not be done publicly.

"I see... so it's me..."

"That's the thing. I can't just leave the boulders in a row and night after night. And I don't even think I can handle it in a day if I think about what to do. I want you to confirm and deal with it."

"I see...... ok"

Sho nodded honestly at Kate's instructions. The reason Sho was called this time was because this investigation could have prolonged. He could be dead, and even if Hannibal were alive, he would presumably be deep in a strictly guarded faction.

But no one in that place will crack a mouth. And dressed as a soldier and listening still makes that weird. If so, I had to do an investigation by eavesdropping on the tunnel. It takes time. While Kate and the Marquises were stalling, Sho wanted them to find the place.

"So I'll give this to you. If he was still alive, use this to temporarily bring him into a state of well-being."

"What's this?

"It's something that can neutralize most of the poison. but at the same time it also has the effect of letting you comatose with side effects"

"Coma? Are you sure you don't want to be cured?

Sho tilts his neck as he looks at the bite-sized vial he receives from Kite.

"No, I'll have it fully healed eventually. But if he was alive, I'd have trouble getting him to act instantly."

"Why not?"

"I don't care if they behave differently than muscle writing poorly. To deceive an enemy, start with the allies… I don't know which is the enemy or the ally, other than us. but general enough to be called the Wisdom General. It's troublesome even if they move poorly. And when what he wakes up tells the Crusaders, there is a good chance that the intervention of the third force will be discovered. Of course, it can be a rush to revive the General and attack him all at once. When that happens, it's hard to move this way on boulders either. I'm sorry about the general, but we'd better get him into a coma for a while."

"Hmmm......"

Is that so? Sho receives an additional vial containing 'spiritual medicine' from Kite. After he was in a coma, he predicted that he would be able to drink it and bring it back to life. After putting it in a sachet for preservation, Sho asks about it at that time.

"So, what time do I have to make you drink this?

"This is just before the showdown, give him a drink when the soldiers are going into battle. Send instructions with ceremonial god for further details"

"That means you're going to sneak into the boulder easily at that time."

"I guess. You can't keep the general under strict guard until that's the right time for a boulder."

Kate nodded in agreement with Sho's prospect. On the day the Crusaders moved, it could probably be observed that the Erlic faction would be fighting in total. At that time, Hannibal has to be deactivated on the boulder.

In that case, Sho would be able to dive in easily. After that, I took the medicine as it was, and Xiang explained the situation with Kate's ceremonial god.

"Okay. Well, for now, we'll look for the general's place."

"Oh, I asked for it"

Kite nodded at Sho's acceptance and decided to simulate how the three of us should move forward by turning over Yuri.

From that conversation, for a few hours. While Kate and Julie went on a reconnaissance of Cornelius. Sho was acting alone in the dark night.

'If there is, I wonder if the flagship infirmary...'

The first thing Sho hit was still the infirmary. If you're alive, you're most likely being treated intensively in the infirmary. That's what I guessed. Therefore, Sho decides to go for the infirmary. but this is not easy.

'I don't know what to do...'

Sho is now a total blackjack. The camouflage effect in the dark night is high, but at the same time falls slightly in the bright airship. So when Xiang secretly dived back into the airship, he changed into the personal clothes he had brought.

"Good......"

In the meantime, the measures are contemplated. Therefore, Sho decides to go to the infirmary as Kate taught him. That said, you can't go into the infirmary without anything. So when Sho kills only a little time, he decides to head to the infirmary at a time when it is not suspicious for a normal person to sleep.

"... and so..."

"Yes, I understand... well..."

The military doctor on duty, consulted by Sho, looks after the medication according to his wishes. What Sho said and snuck into the infirmary, that's easy. I said, "Can you give me sleeping pills because I can't sleep?"

Fortunately, after that incident. There were still many villagers who could not sleep, and many others besides him had been prescribed sleeping pills. Therefore, the military doctor also began prescribing Shang's offer immediately to the extent that he did not doubt it.

……

While Xiang waits for the prescription, he uses hand-held shabby to check the condition of the infirmary. I was under the impression that Xiang would not be able to sleep, even more so because he could play a restless appearance.

That's how I saw the infirmary situation, but there were still quite a few patients. This is a pretty tough fight for them. Many soldiers in unacceptable conditions had been put to sleep and had received desperate medical attention from the military doctors.

(... Old people seem to be there... but there's no one in the picture...)

Xiang relies on the memory of the photographs she was shown in advance to understand that Hannibal is not here. And before him like that, the military doctor came back again.

"Take this one. In 10 minutes, you'll be asleep. Drink it before you lie down."

"Oh, thank you"

"Yes, take care"

I smile as the military doctor shows a slight tiredness in Xiang's courtesy. Sho followed the infirmary with a sachet containing medicine in one hand.

(This place is off or...)

Have you already taken it off that you won't allow predictions, or are you tightly guarded somewhere? Sho brings two possibilities to mind. The former means that he's dead. And so Kate contacted me as I headed to the empty room to get dressed again.

"Sho. Can you hear me?

"What?

"Yuri found the medical records. After all, General Eric was poisoned."

Kate puts in a report to Sho as she looks at the photographs of the medical records found by chance at Cornelius' command post. It was then that she found this medical record.

'That means already?

'No, apparently it was a slow-acting poison. My guess is that when I left Roughneck territory, I was served with liquor behaved by the Marquis. Well, as the logic of things, it's good to see that the general immediately went to check the details of the matter and was served there. So, by the time it took effect, a spy was going to drop the ship, I guess. "

Kate speaks her speculation toward Sho. It renders the commander incapacitated and shoots down the airship on it. This is easy to clean up even if someone survives. It's arguably the usual way of tactics.

but what was also a miscalculation for them here was that Tina's black box was tougher than they assumed and did not result in a targeted crash.

Even as they became unnavigable, they managed to arrive from time to time, and furthermore, the military doctors were safe and handled Hannibal in time. Apparently, Cornelius had a ghostly face in that footage, also because his father fell into venom. That said, it seems unclear when he will wake up in a coma after a long period of poisoned influences.

'And it would feel like it. Probably sleeping deep inside the ship'

"So should I move that way?"

'Oh. Probably the flagship captain's office. Take a peek through the window and check it out'

"Okay."

Sho nodded at Kate's instructions as she dressed. We know very well where the captain's office is. The airship close to the Empire of Entesia is based on a spacecraft accommodated from the Great Empire of Entesia. Inevitably, its internal structure will follow suit. Therefore, Sho also had a great grasp of its internal structure.

"Good little..."

Xiang conveys the walls of the airship and moves towards the upper level of the flagship. It takes time to travel there because it's too slow to find out, and I have to check the windows one at a time. So it took about an hour for me to find a hit.

"That's..."

Sho finds an elderly man lying in bed with an infusion. Breathing seems much easier, but it still seems painful. The condition appeared to be febrile.

"... bingo"

Comparing the photo he received to the face of an elderly man lying there, Sho confirms that he is Hannibal.

"Kate, I found it."

'Right. How's it going?

"Maybe... I think it's a place called Kokai. Looks like she caught a cold. Do you want to send the footage?

"Oh, please."

Medicinally, Sho's eyes are still close to those of an amateur. Instead of leaving it to his discretion, Kate decides to check with her own eyes.

"... for a few days or so, you look okay..."

I just need you to keep it for a few days. If so, Kate decides to avoid doing anything poorly detoured.

'Good. Sho, don't do anything if this looks like it. You go back too. We've just finished our work. Rendezvous. "

"Ooh."

I know where you are. If so, there is no need to get lost as Sho. Thus, Sho decided to spend a few days joining Kate after this and further interacting with his ceremonial god.

Then, a few days. Finally, the day has come for the Crusaders to move. Within a rushing Erlic faction, Sho was starting to act again at the behest of Kate.

"After all, you're not popular anymore..."

I guess it's because every place and everything is ready for battle. There were few soldiers on patrol. There's no one there to crack it. Of course, most of the villagers have been evacuated in one place and are not found. So Sho arrives at the captain's office without meeting almost anyone.

Again, there was little security there, and no one in the captain's office was watching now. If we lose today, we have nothing to protect or make sense. I'm guessing you put all the personnel on the front line to protect this place.

"Good......"

Sho took the picking tool he brought in from his nostalgia. I have practiced this kind of unlocking many times. So he succeeds in unlocking the captain's office quickly. And, after the door suddenly opened, the man who was inside turned around.

"Who?

Apparently, some of the military doctors stabilizing Hannibal's condition - who had come in white, so Sho decided so - had refrained. That said, I assumed that. So Sho unleashes a pre-prepared demon bullet for the coma, causing the military doctor to faint. The time left is a lot of 5 minutes. That's enough to keep them alive.

"Good."

Sho removes his hood and keeps his face exposed so as not to be suspicious. In so doing, he immediately makes him speak of 'spiritual drugs' to him lying close to Hannibal.

"Ugh... Ugh... here, is..."

That would mean the finest restorative medicine. Hannibal opened his eyes as soon as he took his medicine. but he still didn't seem to understand the situation well because he woke up from a long coma.

"You... are..."

"Softly... I'm, uh... an adventurer hired by the McDawell family"

Hannibal's questioned Sho is incapable of making an unusual excuse. So, before he gave any explanation there, he lifted his neck just a little and showed him the vial he had drunk earlier. There was so much there that I thought I might not be able to give it a sip, so I still had about half of it left.

"General, I let you live with 'psychotropic pills' once and for all... but there's still a little left. Can I have a drink?

"... it's no wonder..."

Hannibal snorted weakly at Sho's offer. If he was decent now, he might have been suspicious, but he still didn't seem to have a decent head job because of the fact that he was alive. Mouth the 'spirit pill' offered to Sho as he is told.

"Grr... this is... awesome"

"... really"

Hannibal, who drank all of the "spiritual pills," recovers health while he looks at it, and quickly becomes fully rejuvenated. Against Hannibal, who was surprised by it, Sho was also full of surprises. I never thought it would be effective until now.

"I don't know... so, what about you?

"Ah... uh, excuse me, could you ask the commander for more information?

"Commander? Or what the hell is he..."

"Oh, excuse me. The military doctor didn't have time to talk to me for a bit... so I'm just getting him to sleep. I think you'll wake up soon."

"Well... let's believe it"

Hannibal is convinced by Sho's words. I don't know what circumstances brought him back to life, but at least I know he's not the enemy. If so, I thought it would be better to believe it. Thus, Sho called Kite by unfolding the ceremonial God he had received from Kite.

"Nice to meet you, General Eric. I am an adventurer requested by Master Kuzha of the McDawell family. Think of it as his superior officer. '

"Right...... so, what's happening now?

"Yes... please note that we don't have much time left."

Upon Hannibal's request, Kite begins her explanation. That's how Hannibal, convinced of the explanation and the status quo and the proposal put forward by Kate, decided to start taking control of the camp, and Xiang would move as its assistant.
