"On your desk, we have the materials as they stand. Check it out there."

About five minutes after I got tangled up in Bifgel.

We were gathered at Baron Lelaire's house.

In the case of small aristocrats who do not have a building dedicated to the bureau, it seems common to create a meeting room in the lord's house.

The material contained detailed descriptions of the course of the battle, the state of the supplies, and the analysis of the force.

As for the combat report, it's a pretty good piece of material.

But... that's not what I need.

What we need now is a clue from someone behind the doll.

"Was there a human among the enemies?

"There was not a single human being. Until now, the number of puppets defeated is 320, and the human race is zero."

"... I see. It's a hassle."

If the enemy doesn't have humans, the doll is probably moving just through autonomous behavior.

In this case, the measures taken against the doll itself are relatively easy to do.

If there's anything wrong with the magic team that determines the doll's autonomous behavior, it's easier to fight by poking it there.

Famous methods include dropping autonomous dolls into water.

If the act of "swimming" does not exist in the autonomous behavior set in the doll, the doll will meaninglessly bump the foot by trying to walk and move despite the fact that the foot is not on the ground.

If the enemy has a human, it may be corrected on the spot, but if the doll is acting completely autonomous, it can easily destroy the doll as it is.

Exactly. There won't be any simple mistakes so far, but we should be able to carry the fight in our favor.

But the only thing that makes it easier is the fight itself.

It is naturally easier to find the mastermind if the enemy has a human.

If the doll has a human on it, it's probably a puppeteer, and if you follow it from there, you can easily tell who's the puppeteer.

... Well, it seems faster to sneak directly into the Cyhil Empire than to look into the situation from within.

Domestic handling and protection would be reassuring if Viscount Leguid were present.

I'll leave you to Viscount Leguid, and we'll concentrate on gathering information.

That is so......

"Is there any mistake in this table?

That said, I pointed to one of the materials placed on the desk.

The material describes where it became a battlefield in this battle, as well as the damage there, the number of dolls defeated, and who defeated them.

The problem is, among other things, a table of human beings with excellent performance.

1st Castle, 2nd Lake, 3rd Regis, 4th Designer.

Not so far.

First father Castle is comparable in strength to the Knights Commander, and second place Lake remembers unchanging magic, so it's only natural to come second in first place.

3rd and 4th are strangers, so there's nothing particularly odd about it.

The problem is, number five.

Fifth place: Bifgel Hildesheimer.

That's what the report said.

What the hell is the joke?

"... is that a mistake? This material has been checked by multiple personnel, so I'm probably not mistaken..."

"Does that mean Bifgel is number five in doll crusades?

According to the table, the number of Bifgel doll crusades is four.

There are far fewer 1st place castles than 50 on their own and 2nd place lakes defeating 32... that bifgel is 5th?

The number of people who participated in the fight seems to be about 120, so I thought Bifgel's position was about 110th.

Thinking about that...... Baron Lelaire replied.

"Bifgel Hildesheimer's crusade count is definitely four. It's quite a battle force because it's a glorious mark that you can use a 'flame bomb'"

When it comes to 'pyrotechnic bombs'...... sure, it must have been one of those chanting magic.

Even in second school, before I brought in unchanging magic, it was treated as intermediate magic.

"What, a flamethrower? I don't think I can use that kind of magic in action..." Flamebomb "is a low-power, medium-power magic consumption, an array that needs a lot of chanting, right?

'Sure, it's a magic no longer used at all in the second school, but he should have been a good one for what he did in chanting magic. The world is different with chanting magic and unchanging magic...'

As Lurii and Alma are talking about, 'Flamebomb' is also a chanting magic.

You eat magic there. Because power is inferior to elementary unchanging magic, it is not already used at all in the second school.

Can you just use that magic to treat me like a warrior......

Somehow, don't remember the old days.

... Well, it's been less than the past year since unchanging magic has become used in today's world, so it's not as old as it used to be.

There still seems to be a time when glory tattoos are called the strongest, other than in some parts of the Wang Capital and elsewhere.

"But as always, Castle is a monster."

"Do you know him?

"Oh. First of all, nobody knows Castle at the top of the Knights."

Apparently Viscount Leguid knows his father, Castle.

Castle, you were a celebrity...

With that in mind, Viscount Leguid opened his mouth.

"Looks like you can prevent the doll from attacking more than it has a castle on it.... The question is how to fight back... Baron Matthias, any thoughts?

Viscount Leguid asked me without hesitation.

In contrast, I will return the answers that I have prepared in consultation with the Luriis.

"How about we infiltrate the empire alone?"
