Sweet Reincarnation

189 Stories Strange Raids

There was a rare person.

It is unusual in the sense that there is not some rarity in that person, but that he is in a place where he is not supposed to be.

A place you can't possibly be is Thursden on Mortairn territory. Who can't possibly be here is Koantro, who's supposed to be in the King's Capital.

"So is it true that the Admiral was attacked?

Shiites asks Koanthro. I don't hesitate to spend time as a colleague for a long time, and when listening from the point of view without preconditions, I can ask about the relationship without consideration.

Koantro is currently stuffed in the King's Capital. At first, as an escort to Casserole, the father of Pais, he is in a position to put together the families and descendants of the Mortairn family, who are usually beside the Baron and serve in the King's Capital.

The escort of the casserole is only in form because the person to be escorted is a warrior, but it is not in a position to easily come and visit the Mortarn territory because it is also included in the work such as the security of the Wang Du's separate residence or arrangements for the protection of the Baroness Anise.

Such an important person was sent with a message and instructions from Caserol. I felt it was not a matter of urgency and Shiites tightened his mind as well.

"Oh."

Lightly assertive koan. The expression is harsh.

"I'll explain the details."

Coantro, who was hired to buy serious personality and arms, doesn't like things like explaining things.

Since the nature of the oligarchy is something we all know at the beginning of Shiites, Pais, who had received a report in advance, will take the place of the explanation.

"Things happened all night. In the son of the agricultural script, there was a celebratory seat for the birth of a child, and his father was called to show his face."

A great aristocrat of the internal affairs system, the Agricultural Promise is a heavy town that deposits the Kingdom's agricultural policy. He belongs to the internal affairs faction at first, but is also the leader of a medium-sized faction that can be taken as an intra-function faction. Because pioneering, disaster preparedness, etc. often go hand in hand with military personnel, it stood relatively close to the military valves, and from its edge, it also had a facial knowledge of casserole.

It is also known that trade policy strongly pushes protective trade and restricted trade. In order to protect domestic industries, foreign crops and processed products are extremely poorly reconciled with foreign affairs valves because of their position to appeal against imports.

"He said he had a grandson in a farming letter."

"Yeah. That's not a problem in itself. It was the way home that was the problem. My father came home in a carriage."

"Without magic?

"Yeah. So, they say it was raided."

The magic of Pace's father, Casserole's [instantaneous movement], is the trump card of the Mortairn family's "table”. Casserole's strength is that it is a public (snack) magic in the country, hidden is unusual for the usual wizard, and is available in other houses depending on the money.

Magic is something with an extremely high value for use and a strong attribute. For the wizard person, it becomes more dangerous at the same time as profits. As convenient as it is, it is a subject of cynicism (mosaic) from others, and it is good to do something about just one person, which makes tragedy easy. It is in the sphere of self-defense to conceal as much information as possible so as not to be understood in your hands.

There are also many wizards who try to defend themselves by being sheltered by nobles and other powerful people, but they want to keep their trump cards hidden even for the embraced nobleman. No matter how far you adjust to reveal information, drooling information with a no-guard is the extreme of foolishness.

In other words, there is little magic that is boring everything from usage to the disadvantages of ability, and a few exceptions are [instantaneous movement].

Originally formed by this magic was also the beginning of the Mortairn family, and when it comes to the Mortairn family, it is no exaggeration to say [instantaneous movement]. Even though names are selling these days for treats and such, magical conveniences and the martial arts of the past are still deeply rooted.

Recently, casseroles have been packed in the king's capital, and noblemen and merchants have frequently visited the former casseroles for a fraction of the time.

To have some money or trading material to use the magic on the casserole.

The convenience of flying a horse and traveling for days, literally in an instant, is so unrepeatable, even if it uses modern science and technology. Customers have a lot of deductions.

But when I say magic, it's not omnipotent. Unlike one of the best paces in the country, magic is less common in the case of casseroles, several times a day, whether you use magic or are feeling better. The greater the distance and the greater the mass carried, the more magic it consumes.

As a keeper of a National Army team, you can't run out of your trump cards so easily, and using a carriage instead of magic is a Mortairn family home situation if you travel close enough within an aristocratic neighborhood.

This time, I was traveling in a carriage for the same reason. I was traveling without daring to use magic.

Someone attacked me there.

"Isn't it important? Is the Admiral safe?

"Yeah. My father, and my mother, and finally Koan. They're all safe without any injuries."

"Good for you."

Shiites relieved.

There is some relief as a squire chief, but Casserole is a long-time friend to him as well. It's been a year since I've felt my body fade myself lately. It would be the same as casserole of the same age.

It is natural to place your trust in the power of your own master, but that also leads to anxiety that you have begun to hear the old footsteps as such.

It's always possible to get unconscious on the battlefield.

"But..."

"Am I?"

"The assailant's movements were strange at that time."

"Strange?"

If it's weird, there's no stranger creature than the silver-haired boy in front of you, Shiitz thought. A strangest creature wears clothes and makes sweets on foot.

I don't say it just because I thought it, but I guess it's a strange thing because such a paice is strange.

"Yes, for what it did, it was a move that I didn't intend to do harm to this side..."

"Huh?"

Shiitz raised his bare voice.

"It's a good thing I've been armed, blocking my way after figuring out it's our carriage, and doing something that looks like an attack, but seeing my father and running away," he said.

Being attacked by tyrants and hostile forces is not in itself an extremely unwillful but unusual thing. Things about the Mortairn family.

The magic of casseroles is extremely effective in that they can ambush commanders and key bases at any time on the battlefield, helping to transport intelligence and material personnel, even during normal times. Versatile magic that is very versatile and lets you use it in any way depending on how you use it. If you're on my side, you don't have the ability to be more convenient.

But for hostile humans, the opposite is true. First of all, it will be the ability to manage to become powerless. Being the most convenient to your allies means the worst for your enemies.

It has also happened many times since the founding of the Mortairn family that people who seek to take hostilities attack the Mortairn family, which would be the most intrusive.

But this case doesn't match the analogy of the past, Pais says.

"That's weird."

"I think so too."

Two wise men of the Mortairn family roar together. Each other, what I wanted to say seemed to understand with the breath of Ayumu.

"Um... can you tell me what's odd?

It was Nicolo who raised his voice. Hope of anticipation, a young man who keeps the keys to the vault and is trained by Shiites as a future executive candidate.

There is a slight neglect in military relations, where the specialty is solely financial, lamenting the inability to keep up with the exchange between Shiites and Pais.

Fortunately, it seems that Nicolo's doubts were common to the majority of the families of the Mortairn family gathered, which changed the atmosphere of the place. Well said, that's the vibe.

I don't even know why this is happening, and Pais explains it to Nicolo.

"The fact that our house is attacked by someone is something that has happened before. You know that, don't you?

"Yeah, well."

"In that case, the raider's purpose falls into two broad categories."

"Two?"

"Do you want to eliminate the threat, or threaten to deter action?"

Any opponent hostile to Mortairn will always be asked to deal with it. Leaving is the most foolish thing to do. In a situation where troublesome pawns can move freely, they can't win either.

The first thing to think about there is getting rid of the Mortairn threat first. It's best for the enemy to be able to do this. The casserole will be gone. Or it's enough that you won't be able to use magic.

Be prepared for some damage. But if you succeed, the nastiest opponent will be powerless.

When referring to chess, it's like excluding the opponent's flying car and horns. Using some pawns, but it would be well worth the aim.

At the inception of the Mortairn family, the magical dangers of the casserole were well known along with the martial arts. However, the arms of our swords and the surrounding escort forces were negligible. The mention of martial arts in the war was also sweetly seen as just luck, etc., and the elimination was thought to be easy.

Because of this, it was attacked quite often at one time. Now it's somewhat less, but there are still people who get caught in the common sense that "wizards are vulnerable to direct combat” and attack them.

But there is the Mortairn family, which has repeatedly returned the raw man of this hand. Many humans have come to know that it is not a casserole to be done so easily.

When that happens, more people use force as an instrument of negotiation rather than being forced to aim for elimination.

How useful and powerful magic is there, the arms of the sword are certain, but fatigue and sleep are necessary. It's only uncomfortable to deal with a raider at four or six.

Aim for it and negotiate. The point is, you try to negotiate with Casserole on condition that you attack him for harassment and stop harassing him. Sometimes it targets the perimeter of the casserole.

Even if it doesn't make a difference to be attacked, these guys never mind a failed raid.

You can succeed or you can fail, and you press for a concession on the story. That's who I'm going to negotiate with.

These kinds of opponents can be awesome people who can't be alarmed.

To kill or to threaten to kill. Raids are these two things, in large part, Pais says.

"Either way, the achievement of the purpose requires harm to be done to us. I don't feel threatened if the flies are flying around, but if the bees are flying around, I feel threatened. At the very least, there's no point if you don't harm this bee."

"Ha."

If we don't show that we can actually pose a threat to the Mortairns, it won't even be an instrument of negotiation. Nicolo can tell that.

"In this case, it's unnatural in that you intentionally imitated a fly. If you have no intention of causing harm to this side, why did you come all the way here?"

"I see... that's weird indeed"

There were still a few people who didn't know, but at least the questioner seemed to notice the unnaturalness.

Keep attacking me and get away with it at first sight. Pais and Shiitz were feeling sick like a ping-pong dash running away while keeping the doorway chimes ringing.

Even though I don't feel any threat, only depression remains.

"What exactly is the purpose?

"Come on. There are a few possibilities, but you're not out of guesswork."

"I don't even know some of those candidates."

Below Nicolo, all the young men snap their necks.

Keep your sword out and get away with it immediately. I wonder what the hell this means.

"For example, the possibility that you are trying to use our martial name"

"Using martial names?

"It will be common. You want me to provoke someone who looks strong to come from a distance where you don't know if you can hear me or not? I told you, it's like a chest test. We use our martial arts name to create a way to reward it and use it for foiling."

"Oh, I see, it's easy to understand"

When he went to the tavern, the young men nodded, saying that the men in his hand were well. Experience that I was and I was flirty. The type where you don't even think the other person will raise their hand while provoking you to hang on.

I mean, foiled that I knew casserole wouldn't really deal with him, and I tried to attack him. The illusion that you fought the Mortairn family is the end.

"Or maybe he was seriously raiding. I tried to bite it with all my might, but I could only do it to the extent of fly wings."

"Such an idiot"

"It means that there are some geniuses in the world that are more than you can imagine, and some idiots that are far beyond your expectations. The possibility is not zero."

It is the general thrust of the Mortairn family that more natural disasters than imagined also include Pais.

There are dumb people in the world and there are dumb people in the world, so although they really tried to harm the casserole, it seems like it was just a child's play.

Nor was this possibility zero.

"Is there anything else, Shiites?

"It's like making an alibi. How about that? I used to be told," Attack, "on the orders above, and I fought yawning."

"I see. It could be too"

Shiites talking about past mercenary experiences.

You can't expect loyalty or anything from a mercenary temporarily hired with money. It is also often said that an unwillful order is to pretend that only the form is obeyed.

"Mercenaries hired over there and hired over here. If the commander is an inexperienced bastard, it would be foolish to risk his life. I used to pretend I was fighting the right way. Isn't that what happened this time?

"It's possible."

Pais nods to Shiites' opinion.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't make sense for us to overlap our speculations. Shall I share my opinion with my father?"

None of the actual damage was done, and even if the opponent's movements were unnatural, it is true that the carriage carrying the casserole was attacked. Don't ignore it.

There may also be a second and third raid if the aim is to actually do harm to casseroles and anies, simply to say that the opponent was too shoddy. In an even more threatening way.

You should also consider meeting with Casserole to escort them from your territory if necessary.

Meeting is mandatory. For this reason, it would be more natural for a son to go out than to summon a father.

"Boy, come back here now."

"Shiites is worrying, too. I'm just gonna talk to you a little bit."

I don't know if you're gonna push me to work like that.

"I know."

Quickly, then, when Koantro is repatriated, Pais will head to the king's capital. With Pace's magic, of course.

Pais attached to a long time king's capital. Waiting for him was his father's seemingly difficult face.
