"The lumber mill of interest is going down the river by boat. Straight down the river and into the lumber mill. Then, I took away the soft magic tree that I had stored and took it home. That's not the only plan."
Miscellaneous. Are you serious about the operation, Lord Banaj?
"I'm serious, Alphonse. However, there are a number of problems with this operation. One is that if you go down the river, you can get to your destination quite quickly, but vice versa."
"The descent of the river ends quickly, but is it difficult to reverse the river and climb up quickly?
"That's right. So I'm going to move the convoy. We will prepare those who will carry the softwoods we have taken."
You're serious?
I don't know how many people can get on the ship, but I don't think it's going to be that big.
As long as we leave a few ships.
I wonder how many people can move.
And yet you have a convoy that won't fight?
It seemed like a plan that would put a heavy burden on the fighting forces.
Besides, even after taking away the softwood, it can't just end with a move.
Even if we can successfully attack the lumber mill, we should still have a chase.
It seems that the lumber mill is located in Nakashu, in the river.
It's only natural that we're trying to get the trees out of there and transport them, but our legs are dull.
You'll be chased and targeted from behind.
"Hmm. Seems harsh. Do you have any idea how to shake off the chaser?
"Of course it is. Rather, I didn't think we could do this now. I decided to carry out this operation because the Vulcan mercenaries came."
"Because our mercenaries are here? I don't really understand that there are mercenaries who are going to attack the lumber mill...."
"Not exactly the mercenary regiment. At the heart of this operation is the presence of Atmos warrior Ian there. Please, I need his help. With a warrior of Atmos who can become a giant, we should be able to shake off our pursuers."
I see.
Is that so?
Christina and the merchants must have listened to us before we got here.
About the Barca Mercenaries.
And Ian, the warrior of Atmos, is there.
Ian is a normal person now.
But Atmos warriors have the power to make giants.
I can temporarily enlarge my body to about five meters tall.
And that body is by no means just an appearance.
I wonder if the amount of muscle changes as soon as it gets bigger.
It has a very powerful body.
Indeed, a warrior of Atmos must be able to carry out the stolen lumber much faster than usual.
Besides, it's a trick.
If giant Ian was trying to take away the lumber, it would be noticeable.
The chaser should be chasing Ian.
Atmos warriors, much stronger than ordinary people, will surely be hugely targeted.
What if someone were there to act differently from Ian?
If the lumberjackers act apart, they won't be able to ignore the Atmos warriors and chase the other.
Whatever happens, the opponent has to focus on Ian.
Because it didn't accumulate when I was attacked in the back.
Somehow, I was able to read Banaj's ideas.
A simple maneuver to take home the stolen Tree, but its aim is to make the most of Atmos's warriors who suddenly appeared in this Orient Country.
An operation using Atmos' warrior Ian would be perfect.
That way, you can get plenty of softwood without any problems.
On the other hand, it doesn't matter if Ian is attacked intensively and can't bring home the softwood.
While Ian catches up with his pursuers and brawls, another squad will just take the Magic Tree home.
Even if Ian had gone, he would not have been in this country.
You may not be able to use your valuable combat power anymore, but you think the benefits of using it here are enormous.
I wonder if such an Ian's sacrifice is an operation with that in mind.
I glanced at Ian.
What does Ian think?
But the look on Ian's face that I saw worrying was the same.
There is no upsetting atmosphere even after receiving the banaj's words.
Besides, it wasn't like I was angry.
If you dare to say so, is it the usual atmosphere?
Perhaps for the rare mercenary family of Atmos warriors, it is a routine task to be thrown into such a dangerous gambling operation.
Or is it because I am confident that I will never lose?
Ian and I nodded.
This means that Ian doesn't have any particular opinions, and it's up to me to decide whether or not to participate in this fight.
He said he would follow me all his life, and I guess so.
... let's do it.
Sure, it could be dangerous.
But if we can't win this dangerous bet anyway, we won't be able to do it in the future.
If so, you don't have to get lost.
Thus, a Lumber Workshop Tactical Operation utilizing Ian as a bait was carried out.
