Use exploration (searching) vigorously, thinking about what was supposed to happen.
I can feel some signs, like surrounding this house. And pointed that direction underground.
It's hard to look underground with exploratory magic, but it's possible to do so by pointing the direction in one direction.
- There are many people in the basement. Nearly twenty? Why at this hour?
I nodded loudly when I saw Ferris.
"Thank you, Ferris. Thanks to you."
Ferris smiled a little and disappeared to be sucked into the spiritual stone again.
I walked out of the bathroom and went back to the living room.
"Towya, it's late."
"Oh, bad. I was just thinking."
"Shall we leave now?"
Stand up as prompted by the man who was in this house.
"No, wait a minute"
So again, I'll wait. I could see the cloudiness in the man's expression if time was pressing.
I rise and stand beside the emperor.
"Can I change my plans a little? Not an underground passage, like a normal carriage escape from here?
Everyone, including the Emperor, is flabbergasted by the change of plans that I have not even clapped for.
"Just give me a minute. There's no way I can change my plans now! That's why it's a safe underground passage."
It leaks a little bit of killing from a man to me. The people who were on their knees around the man can similarly glimpse the hostility towards me.
"Towya, what are you talking about? I can't believe I've succeeded so far, but I'm changing it now..."
Even Alice seems to question my plan.
"My request is to get the royal family out of the capital safely and deliver it safely."
"Then I'll be damned! It's just a waste of time."
I send my gaze to a fiercely high man.
"Then... why are there so many bodies in the back room? And why are so many soldiers from the kingdom of Generation waiting in the underground corridor? This house smells too much blood."
Everyone solidifies into my words.
".................. Huh!?"
A man took a dagger out of his nose and suddenly threw it at me.
Grab the flying dagger easily with one hand and throw it straight back. The dagger I threw back came from my status or flew momentously, piercing between the man's eyebrows and falling as-is.
Did Alice also instantly grasp the situation, throwing a paralysis needle at the men who were in this house so that they could not move.
In an instant the five people who were in this house became incapable of fighting.
The man who led me to this house is also taken aback. But I raised my hands high to show that I didn't immediately have hostility to figure out what the situation was.
"I don't know... I'm proud to serve this empire for generations."
I look into a man's eyes and he doesn't seem to be lying, and I control Alice with my hands. With Alice lowering her hand with the needle, the man exhales and hands down.
"The fact that we're finding out where we're based here... isn't it dangerous? How are you going to let His Majesty escape?
Put your arms around Alice's words and think only a little.
I can honestly break through the front. We just have to break the gate. Maybe he also said he was going to raid the gate out of cod, which is actually packed by soldiers.
- Safely escaping this place is...
"- That's a frontal breakthrough. I'll break the gate."
The three royal families are just a little distracted by my words. And Alice, of course.
"How do you escape with Your Majesty in battle when you say that?"
I think it's a reasonable idea. But I can prepare it. A horse that is tougher than a regular carriage and stronger and faster than any other horse.
"There's no problem destroying the Imperial Gate...?
I see the Emperor's face. The emperor nodded without saying anything.
"If you can get out of here, it's fine. Let's hear what the guide with the king's sword says."
One remaining man would soon be ready to return to his original stronghold and flee, and on this occasion he bowed his head to the Emperor and left the house.
We open the door and we all leave the house. Check the surroundings with exploration (search), but make sure that there are distances, although surrounded.
"So... Towya, how are you going to escape?
"By carriage, of course...?
Smile at Alice's words.
"I'm asking you what you're going to do with that carriage or horse. Oh, and maybe..."
"Oh, I think you can imagine"
I take the coyote and the carriage out of dimensional storage right in front of me.
The royals take a step back on the Obsidian horse # Battlehorse # that suddenly appeared.
Again, that's usually what happens when you see it...
Slowly stroking Kokuyo's neck, he only tells him, "Please," and connects him to the carriage.
"... it was. You were in Toya's dimensional storage. I forgot in a hurry..."
"This carriage should be nice to ride, huh? The Shalls were so happy. Wouldn't have been so bad, would you?
Alice nodded honestly, too.
The journey from the Kingdom of Salandir to Lian was comfortable. They want Shalls to be more comfortable than their carriages. Alice also reminds me that it was a storm of questions on a trip from Lian, and I laugh unexpectedly.
"We will escape the Empire with this carriage. Get in."
Open the carriage door and give voice to the three royal families. I told her I'd do your job alone, but Alice sat next to me.
"Looks like you're ready. I'm leaving."
When he calls out of my little window, the Crown Prince looks up and nods small.
And slowly Kokuyo began to move on to the gate.
◇ ◇ ◇
"You must be ready, right?
There are twenty soldiers from the Kingdom of Generation who have checked their equipment in the underground corridor. I was ready to capture the royal family at any time.
A few minutes after the royal family escaped, it was the beginning of a visit by soldiers who were patrolling the castle to friends who happened to monitor them in the dungeons.
The castle had taken a number of formations for when the royal family fled.
That was the seizure of a base near the gate. Several bases had already been discovered by soldiers from the Kingdom of Generation and houses that had led to the underground passage leading to the gate had also been seized.
The inhabitants who originally lived there were tortured and executed on the spot as treason, taking the form of soldiers from the Kingdom of Generation living in their stead.
When it was discovered that the royal family had fled, it was immediately communicated to soldiers from the kingdom of Generation in each stronghold and soldiers were stationed.
The towers were not discovered because they were evacuation passages from the castle, not from near the gate.
However, the stronghold leading underground through the gate was discovered and inhabited by six soldiers as substitutes.
In fact there were six when the towers visited, and when the royal family came to contact that they had escaped, more soldiers were gathered, five were waiting on the spot and one with soldiers armed in the underground passage.
"And it's hard to come down..."
One man in his everyday clothes squeaks.
"Are you taking the time because it's the royal escape? No, there can't be."
"Right...... I'll take a look. I'm not armed, and I can explain when I'm an underground corridor liaison."
That's what the man said and went up the ladder and out to the bottom of the floor in his private room.
As we slowly approached the living room to explore the signs, the spread sight was with all five men down.
"Hey, what happened...?
One has a knife stabbed between his eyebrows and is clearly desperate.
The other four were just roaring, and there was still life.
"Whoa, what's going on!? What about the royals?!?"
He woke up a roaring man, he rang, but he was paralyzed, and moving his mouth just a little without words seemed to be the limit.
The only remaining man quickly turned his heels back and headed to the soldiers waiting in the basement.
"Hey, what the hell!? He's already on the run!
The platoon leader, who was commanding twenty men in the basement, overheard the man's report.
"One was already dead. Others will be paralyzed. He's not dead, but he's not going to help."
"Mm-hmm. So... if the royals were to head..."
"It would be a gate. There's only one place to escape. Unless you have an evacuation passage you don't know…"
The platoon captain nods at the man's words.
"I'm headed to the gate right away. We're going back down this underground corridor. You contact the other base and tell them to assemble the soldiers at the gate."
"Okay."
The platoon captain left the transmission to the man and took the soldiers to the gate immediately.
◇ ◇ ◇
"And how do you break through the gate?
They're still wondering how Alice gets out.
"Of course, it's a grand front breakthrough"
I know you expected me to have something to do, but I smile and answer to betray that expectation.
"Ugh! Because the royal family is with us. Hey! I told you how strong Toya is..."
Alice has an incredible look at the measures that are usually impossible, but I have, no, there are only measures that I can do.
- It's because I'm the one with the title "Sage" -.
Though late at night, the soldiers were on patrol and soon found the carriage we would ride.
One of the soldiers whistles and sounds in the quiet night sky in the middle of the night.
"Oh, they found me. Let's hurry to the gate. Kokuyo, I asked for it."
React to my words, or the cocktail will go faster.
"Hey, Towya. What am I supposed to do?
I told Alice to take your place, looking up at me from the side anxiously.
I stand on the spot and monitor everything around me by exploring (searching). Because of the whistle, I gaze at the gate where I can see the soldiers coming together one after another.
"Let me do it somewhat flashy. We don't need gates to reclaim this capital anyway."
"That's..."
"Yeah, I'll destroy it"
Alice gave a surprise look to the concise answer. I know exactly what that means. Although the entrance gates of Teito are made of wood, the edges are covered and reinforced with metal. Moreover, it was more than five metres in size and finished to considerable thickness to protect the imperial capital.
You may not believe what they say about breaking it easily.
I saw the soldiers waiting for me when I got to a place where I could see the gate in a straight line. It soon became clear that the number was already over 100.
"Towyah!"
"Oh, I know"
What we're going to do is use it as a shield called Royal Rescue - mass murder.
I have no choice. I tell myself, tie my mouth and accumulate magic in my hands.
Shall, Al, and Natalie's faces float in the back of their brains.
"Definitely three, no, we'll get all four out of here safely, including you."
I squeal as the gate stares in a straight line.
The soldiers also noticed the running noise of the cocktail, and began forming a formation toward this way.
The distance approached another 200 meters.
My magic range is about 100 meters. No matter how much it is occupied by the kingdom of Generation, it is problematic that it destroys too much for when the Lunette Empire recaptures it.
Fire magic cannot be used because it will be difficult to rebuild if there is a major fire or something.
Convert the magic accumulated in both hands and prepare for the wind magic to release.
- And I got into range.
"Vacuum Blade (Air Cutter)"
If it's a regular vacuum blade (air cutter), it's just one blade, but my magic is different. Dozens of blades of vacuum head towards the kingdom of Generation.
It has nothing to do with metal armor or anything. The rage instantly changed to screaming.
Still, I eat my teeth and unleash more magic.
"Tornado"
The magic unleashed wraps a vortex, and when it reaches a scale of several meters in diameter, it involves and blows up the falling soldier. It involves one soldier after another, flying high in the sky, destroying the roofs of the houses around it, etc.
There are only a few soldiers left. Scared by more powerful magic than I expected, I couldn't seem to step forward.
I'm pointing my sword at this one, but its tip is shuddering from fright.
The only thing left is that huge gate.
I put magic in my hands and unleashed magic toward the gate.
