"Matthias and the others... are they Matthias, Iris, Lurii and Alma?

"Exactly."

Listen to that, Viscount Leguid, think a little.

And I said.

"... Mathias thinks that's the best hand?

"I think so. Because the more people you have, the easier it is to find infiltration."

"Sure, if you're going to infiltrate enemy territory, the basics are that you're a few elite... but aren't four against all those puppets just too few?

"There are only a few dolls, so it's easy if you just want to cuddle. It doesn't take a lot of people to defeat it because it's only one doll who should defeat it"

It doesn't matter if it's a hundred or a thousand dolls, such as a doll that can defeat four Bifgels.

Besides, if you knock down the doll, all the dolls will stop functioning.

The support of the Knights is helpful in counter-group combat, but in infiltrating battles it gets in the way the other way.

Perhaps an elite knight would be highly skilled at infiltration, but he wouldn't even have the skills to combat magic detection.

I haven't had enough trouble with my fighting power to cover there and then take my knights with me.

... If you have as much power as Illis, it's another story.

Conversely, it is the Knights' specialty to protect Baron Lelaire's territory from attacks by dolls.

Because the knight's job is to protect his territory, and the knight is basically trained to do so.

I'll leave the rear to the Viscounts of Legid, and we'll get undercover.

"If Matthias says so, let's believe it. Matthias is clearly better up there than I am when it comes to fighting the Demons. Instead, I'll work in my area of expertise."

"Are you good at this?

"Oh. There seems to be a lot of damage to Baron Lelaire's territory in this battle. There's a thin defensive net, too, and it's like leaving it to the power of Castle to protect it. … it is my job to rebuild my territory and army in these circumstances"

I see. Do you serve as commander of the Knights?

That's exactly the right place to leave the rear.

I think I can share a good role.

"Okay. Let me know if you find anything along the way that might help."

"Got it.... When do we leave?

"I can leave tomorrow morning. … it would be better if the enemy noticed us and thought about the possibility of escape."

That's what we came here to do.

If you're gathering information from residents and local knights, you don't need us.

"... ok. Then let's get ready so Matthias can leave tomorrow morning.... Baron Lelaire, is there anything that should be in the territory before Matthias leaves?

"Considering Baron Matthias is a great power, you might want to speak to the commander-in-chief of the coalition just in case,"

"Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition...... Isn't that Baron Lelaire?

The defense of Baron Lelaire has become a coalition of reinforcements from the surrounding nobility, in addition to the army held by the Baron himself.

But even when it comes to coalition forces, the size is a small one of 150 people at best.

The nobles who came to reinforce us are, at best, the Associate Barons.

Baron Lelaire and nobles of equal or greater rank are not participating... or nobles of higher rank do not appear to be in the surroundings, so they have no intention of participating.

It seems customary for the commander-in-chief to become the highest ranking nobleman if the nobility formed a coalition, so the commander-in-chief was thought to be Baron Lelaire......

"No, the commander-in-chief of the coalition is Associate Baron Castle. At first I was commander-in-chief, but along the way I thought Associate Baron Castle would be better qualified and entrusted the commander-in-chief."

Apparently, the Commander-in-Chief is my father, Castle.

Sometimes I'm just famous for knighthood officials.

"... That's a good decision. Then Matthias will meet with Associate Baron Castle."

"Yes."

Apparently, the longtime reunion will be face-to-face with the Allied Commander-in-Chief.

... but what should I look like and see you?

My father and Castle were close, but the problem is position.

Though a temporary title, my position as a nobleman has been better than mine.

It's the hard part about what kind of nori to go see.

As I looked and thought hard, Lurii and the others spoke with comm magic.

"Associate Baron Castle is Matty's father, isn't he? I've never heard of you at all...... do you get along or not?

'Matty, your father means he's also Bifgel's father... could he be similar to Bifgel?

... my father was badly insulted.

Well, maybe if you look at that bifgel, you can't help it.

'Our lineage is normal for everyone but Bifgel. The Knights are famous because of their strength.'

Now I know, but my father Castle is strong to the point of being unusual in this day and age.

Of all the people who can't use unchanging magic, it's even the strongest possible.

Even the number of doll crusades makes a big difference to my brother Lake, who learned the magic of unchanging, albeit simple.

Unchanted with a sword without magic. Impossible with half-baked strength, such as winning magic without chant.

"Normal... Normal?

You don't call that normal.

That's what I say. Lurii and Alma look at me, they look at the report.

The report said that the average soldier had defeated a doll if only one, such as his father, Castle, and his brother, Lake, who were only fifty or thirty.

Sure, there may have been an argument for being normal.

In a warrior sense, there is also the possibility that there is no more powerful aristocracy than the Hildesheimer's.

As we talk about that, Viscount Leguid and Baron Lelaire will decide how to move in detail in the future, including the procurement of military supplies and the reorganization of the defence network.

This one is out of specialty, so I left it to the two of us.

And finally, let's talk about tonight.

"There's going to be a party tonight where all the participating aristocrats will gather, Baron Mathias?

... Apparently, Viscount Leguid is here, so there's going to be a party that's both face-to-face.

From now on Viscount Leguid will seem to be the greatest man on the ground, so there seems to be a purpose in letting him know about it.

"Party of nobility...... will there be something delicious out there or something?

'Unfortunately, I don't think there's going to be much food. It's a situation of scarcity of supplies in the first place, and it's just before Viscount Leguid decided to come.'

Alma seems to be looking forward to cooking, but there won't be as good food as Alma would expect.

Baron Lelaire's territory is a small country territory, and he shouldn't be able to prepare extravagant meals or anything in the middle of a war.

If Viscount Leguid's visit had been informed a week earlier, it would have been quite prepared to entertain the Viscount, so it could have been the party Alma expected.

And most importantly...

"Noble Party...... Something looks stubborn and annoying!

Lurii spoke for me.

Exactly. The aristocratic party is tough and annoying.

I've never been to an actual party yet, but there were some classes in Second School about courtesy when attending one of those parties.

The content is so boring that in the second grade student survey, it shined in '# 1 Disliked Classes Ranking'.

It's not difficult compared to the magic treatment, but it stinks of trouble anyway.

Plus I'm a subtle position as a temporary aristocrat, so it would be extra hard to do.

... and if the rice isn't delicious, it would be better if we had our own meal.

With that in mind, I answer Viscount Leguid.

"When I'm at the party, you might wonder if I don't see you during infiltration after tomorrow. It would be wise not to answer."

"Sure, less people should know about infiltration. I don't trust other nobles, but I'm sure the more people I know, the easier it will be to find out."

Apparently, you figured it out.

So relieved, Viscount Leguid continued his words.

"And noble parties are troublesome. If you don't have to answer, it's best not to."

"Absolutely."

Baron Lelaire nodded at Viscount Leguid's words.

Is that okay, hosting with the lead actor of the party......

Well, Viscount Leguid feels more like a soldier than a nobleman, so I guess it's just like me not wanting to go to a troublesome party.

While we talked about that, the meeting was over.
