In a few minutes.

In the conference room of the dormitory, the leaders gathered suddenly.

There are also two commanders of the Kreilatz Army, and Luglo is sitting in his sleepwear.

The table had a laptop and a projector, and the letters captured by the scanner were projected onto a wind-up screen.

Immediately beside it, Ormasior appears to be "lying down."

It seems that they are concerned that Uribe has killed Kylen's message.

"Hmm. 'I need your help to stop the use of poison weapons by the Senate.'Now, what are you up to? "

Nelson stares at the screen and strokes his chin.

The two commanders of the Kreilatz army seem to have completely stopped thinking about computers and projectors for the first time.

Isn't Kaylen really trying to stop the use of poison gas?

“I think so too. Otherwise, there's no point in deliberately sending a letter like this.”

When Ichira and Valletta gave their opinions, Ixios framed them as "hmm".

"I've had discussions with General Kaylen before about not using poison gas... but I can't abandon the possibility of a trap."After they used the poison gas, I may have sent a letter to make them hesitate to use it in the counterattack. ”

”Hmm... would you do such a tricky thing?”

In response to the opinion of Ixios, Ichira leaned his head.

Speaking of which, the last time I had a meeting about poison gas weapons, I thought in the corner of my head that Ixios was the center.

“That's a possibility,” he says.Instead of using it suddenly without saying anything, you might want to confuse the other person a little bit. ”

“I agree with General Ixios.They're breaking the truce, so I don't know what cowardly hands they're going to use. "

"Yeah. It's dangerous to swallow their stories."If you use poison gas, why don't we use it again without asking questions? "

Mikrem and Saccort followed Ixios.

They watched the battle with the poison gas shells in the video, and they were briefed on the weaponry, so they knew how powerful it was.

However, the two thought that Valletta's mass production had made it quite a stockpile, and even if it became a rampage, it would be beaten.

"No, that would also cause damage to our soldiers, right?"I don't think it would be much better if I could take General Kylen's plan and stop using it. ”

Ah, no, I'm not denying your opinion!

It's just hypothetical!

Miclem and Saccorte's faces were in a panic.

As usual, he was extremely afraid of losing his temper.

"Huh? Well, I'm not mad at you anymore!"You can give me more and more opinions, so please think of me as just a civil servant! "

Haha!

Got it!

Micklem and Saccorte bowing their heads.

Leaze looks at them with a face like, "I don't know."

"... the point is, do you want me to know if General Kylen is lying?"

Luglo looked at Ixios.

"Yes, if not false, I think it would be a good opportunity to kill the senators in one go."I really want to know the truth. ”

"Kill the senator? What do you mean?"

Luglo's face was so dull.

Miklem and the other Legionaries looked strange.

"... are you referring to the letter sent by General Kaylen some time ago, which contained the" person involved in the village raid 11 years ago "?"

Leaze said in a daze.

A few days before the last offensive and defensive battle over the fortress, Kylen responded to Zirconia's request to "tell the mastermind of the case" in order to reach an agreement on the non-use of poison gas weapons.

The petition stated why, how many senators were on the battlefield and where they were.

When Ixios saw it, he said, "It's like I'm telling you to kill these people."

“Yes, the letter did not say what we asked for, but it did say the number of senators, the location of the legion, and even the appearance of the regimental flag.No matter what I think, it's unnatural. ”

"... General Kylen wants to get rid of the senators."

Zirconia is said to be pimple.

"You let me kill Marquez because it was convenient to get rid of the political opponents."Otherwise, you won't be bothered to cut down your own forces. "

"Hmm. It seems that the Barber Army is not a monolith."Perhaps the story of the "attack on a village near the border", the reason for the breakdown of the truce, may also be a self-portrait of Kaylen. "

“Um… General Kylen deliberately broke the truce for his own political reasons?To make the Senate's position in Barber's country worse? "

"Maybe." I'm convinced that the only enemy force that broke the truce and attacked the fort was General Kaylen's tenth legion. ”

Nelson recalls what he said then.

The enemy forces that ambushed the fort were only Kaylen's legions, and only Marquez's legions emerged in subsequent encounters on the streets of Operation Recapture.

No matter what I think, it would be right to think that it was unnatural, that some discord occurred and that there was no cooperation.

"... if that's the case, then you're such a bastard."I put my own people in my hands to create an excuse to attack. "

Zirconia distorts her expression.

"I don't know if it actually attacked my own village."There is also the possibility that the original village was relocated and left unattended, or that it was destroyed and made to look like there was an attack, or that it was just lying appropriately. "

Well, I didn't actually see the scene, so I had no choice.

In one word, everyone else nodded, "That's right, too."

The location of the incident is the territory of the enemy state, and I do not know the truth because I am not looking at the site.

We were just responding to Kylen's repeated complaints.

"Either way, we have no choice but to meet with General Kylen."We have to listen to the details and determine the truth. ”

"There's a quicker way."

Everyone's gaze gathers in Zirconia.

"If you want me to trust you, you can tell the secretary to give it to the hostages."If you obey honestly, what he says is true. "

"A secretary? Was she a woman named 'Titis'?"

I remembered what I had seen before in the north of the fort.

Titis was an impressive woman with an intelligent face and three braids of blonde hair.

"Yes, it seems that she is irreplaceable to General Kaylen."When I was a prisoner, I did something similar. "

When the fort was overrun by the Barber forces, Zirconia was taken prisoner under the condition that the surviving citizens and soldiers be safely returned to Isteria.

As a guarantee that they would keep their word, Titis offered to hostage Zirconia himself.

As far as I could see, it seemed to be Titis' arbitrariness, and Kaylen was in a terrible turmoil at the time.

It didn't look very much like zirconia, as if it was an act.

"Um, hmmm... but will General Kaylen offer such a dear person as a hostage?"I think it's normal to think that once you give it out, you won't return it to me. "

"Including that, I thought it would be a good judgment material."If you offer us Titis as a hostage, we will have complete confidence in what General Kaylen says.If you lie, she'll be killed. "

"... you're prepared to kill Titis-san, and sometimes you come at us like you're framing us?"

“Do you think we can do that in the presence of General Lars?”

Okay, sure.

Lars seemed to be quite an intuitive character, and he was the sort of person who would apply to Zirconia for a duel to avenge Asha.

It is difficult to imagine that Titis would be framed in such a situation.

With Lars' character, I'm not going to forgive Kylen for doing that.

Not if Kylen is going to get Lars, but if he does, he's going to turn General Lacca against us.

Rakkah called Lars "brother", so it seemed difficult for Kaylen to round up Rakkah.

"I'm satisfied." Why don't we ask General Kylen to take Titis hostage? ”

“Yes, there is a good chance that they will say no, but that's the time.Sooner or later, they'll be cut off, and they'll be dry. ”

"Yes, but if General Kylen says he wants to wipe out the senators, he wants to help him somehow."

Ikari looks at the letter on the screen.

“If all the people in the center of politics die in one go, the chain of command will be disrupted and the enemy will be weakened.Even if General Kylen's idea was to take real political power, we would have to. ”

"That's right. Besides, if you can strike at the weakened army in front of the fort that is out of supplies..."

"This is your chance to fold it up." You can make a place full of barbarians as long as you want. "

To put it bluntly, Zirconia laughed.

"Hmm? What's the matter?"

No, I thought this was the first time that we agreed with Kazura-san.

Haha, by the way, that may be true.

"Yes, I'm glad I don't have to quarrel with Kazra again."If you yell at me like you did last time, I won't be able to stand up anymore. "

Ah, no, that's when I got so excited--

Miclem and Ixios stare at Zirconia with a smile on their faces.

I never thought that Ichira, the god of mercy and abundance, would make such a radical statement.

Valletta looked worried, and Leaze looked at him with a look of dependability.

Luglo had a steep expression on his face, his arms folded and he thought about it.

"... Very well. Let's summarize the story and send a letter to General Kylen."Leaze, can you get me some paper? "

Yes!

Leaze stood up and headed to the door.

Then, Olmasior, who had been lying down until then, woke up and walked up to her.

Leaze noticed it and tilted her head.

What's going on?

Olmasiol thought for a moment and pointed at the screen with his forefoot.

Then shake your forefoot slightly towards your face.

Ichirasu leaned his head to see what they were all doing.

"... would you be so kind as to deliver the letter to General Kylen?"

Leaze said, and Ormasior nodded.

”My p * ssy... how do you know that now?”

Leaze smiled as she said it with a dazed look.

"Hmm? Because that's what my eyes and atmosphere said."Well then, please wait a moment. "

Leaze stroked Ormasior's head and left the room.
