Stranger’s Handbook

70 To the battlefield again

"Whoo-hoo, you've come well, my son-in-law. It's been a long time since Beato's been here. How have you been?

"Of course, Grandfather. How are you feeling?

(Toto's here, Grandpa)

With a gentle smile I won't show you, Uncle Borderline will welcome you.

Toto, aren't you afraid to sit on Uncle Borderline's shoulder? You're amazing...

I gathered soldiers from my own territory and headed to the fort, but I decided to stop by Borderlands and keep Beat.

Because Uncle Borderline won't be part of this operation.

Of course, masters and adoptive fathers will participate, but we can't empty the border empire.

So the lord stayed in the castle.

Uncle Neighborhood, who was left voicemail, is not funny, because he's raving that he can't beat the younger ones yet.

That's...

(Grandpa, this is delicious!)

"Well, well, there are plenty of them."

I was narrowing my eyes and stroking my tot... it is very sweet for a tot like a small beat

"Toto, if you don't eat much anymore, you won't be able to have dinner. Keep up the good work, huh?

"Whoa, you're okay, aren't you? Now drink fruit water."

(Thanks, Grandpa!)

I was being an idiot grandfather to spoil my grandson...... I can count on you to feel safe, sure.

There's Beato and Toto in this castle. There's a frontier uncle standing in a cage.

Just imagining it makes me chill... because my grand fool Borderline uncle would ravage enemy soldiers laughing

"Well, thank you to the Beats. Toto, you're coming to Beato."

"Yes, you're welcome to come. Good luck."

(Father, welcome)

When I hug Beato, Toto comes with me

He had a gritty hug on his head using his little body.

"Oh, I'll definitely be back. At Beato's..."

My cheeks turned red, and I kissed Beato, and he left the room.

Make up your mind to finish it off absolutely quickly and go home.

Albert, we're leaving.

"Ha! All armies, march on!

Proceed towards the fort

First of all, you rendezvous with the direct military.

marching. On the 4th, we arrived at the fort

They're bringing in infantry, too... slow.

But this is a war of occupation, because we need the number of soldiers.

"My Lord Zest, it's been a long time. It's Liza."

That's what the cavalry that came out of the fort told me.

A big man in a fine armor... blue hair... oh, that guy with blue hair.

"Long time no see Count Liza, no direct command, General Commander"

His Majesty's direct command, 20,000 general.

Count Liza with blue hair, was he about 40?

Famous as a samurai since his youth, a brilliant man who was a Viscount but was recognized by His Majesty as Earl and entrusted with direct command.

That's your majesty's katana.

"Liza is fine, my lord, take your time at the fort first"

"No, let's get the meeting ahead of us. We'll have trouble getting the terminal kingdom back over time."

Shut up and nod. Liza leads me into the fort.

It's a meeting right away, because I want to move as fast as I can.

What was decided at the meeting?

"The invasion of the kingdom of the terminal will be carried out by the general at the Liza, but as a hindsight, I will follow you later."

Here's what happened.

He wants me to make a direct martial arts appearance, and he wants me to take care of him when he runs into the fort.

The terminal kingdom would be an easy win because the main army has just been hit.

Looks like you don't have to be stuck with me...

Your majesty has told me to keep up with you.

I stayed overnight at the fort that day and started marching the next morning

The border of the terminal kingdom is just around the corner, but it should take about 10 days to reach the king's capital.

I guess a hike for a while...

And then every three days, you don't see the enemy.

I've been through some villages and cities along the way, but I don't see any soldiers.

I talked to the residents, and they say that a temporarily worn soldier was on the run but hasn't seen it since

You gave up?

You're being pushed that far. The kingdom.

More scouts, faster marches.

Still no enemy soldiers coming out...... that's kinda creepy

Anything wrong with how much...... anything happened?

I figured out that answer when I reached the king's capital of the kingdom of the terminal.

"I say to His Excellency the Duke of Zest! The Wang du has a white flag standing, but a messenger has come who does not open the door and wants to respond, but surrender!

Isn't this a trap...

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that.

But then I get unnecessarily confused by the words I'm told.

"The messenger is an animal man who names the current King's Capital representative! We wish to surrender to Sir Albert as a condition of surrender!

"... a coup."

"... Ha, probably"

I just have to attend talks that seem more cumbersome than I would normally drop...

Oh, boy.
