The Hero King, Reincarnate to Master the Art of War ~And Thus, I Became The Strongest Knight Disciple (♀) in The World~

--You 're here.

"As Ingris sees it..."

"Ah, the driftstone is Lord Ingris... I'm afraid so, wise eye."

King Karias nodded and Redas was surprised.

Perfect. Ingris's words are made more compelling by what is happening in front of him.

The proposals we are about to make will also be more likely to be accepted.

"I can't believe that Alcard is waging a war on Carraria... why is that?"

"Kh...! Such a stupid thing!"

The news, especially Plum and Latty, seems to be shocked.

"When this happens...!"

Ratty decides something and tries to get out in front of King Karias.

"His Majesty the King! I... no, please take me hostage! And... the Alcard army...!

"Too"

Ingris quickly circled behind Latty and dropped a knife on his neck.

"Ugh...!?"

Ratty falls down.

Don't let him talk any more. I'm sorry, but I was forced to stop.

Ratty!

I'll leave it to Plum.

"Well, what's wrong with this boy?"

"He is from Alcard. I thought you wanted to stop fighting, even with your shield."

"I see - but with human shields and so on... that shouldn't happen. Instead, stimulate your enemies and lose your allies' trust in such outrages."

If Lati were to be considered a general citizen or a child of those nobles, it would be such an idea to call him a hostage.

I mean, it doesn't affect a lot of people.

If I knew this was a prince, of course the story would change. Because it can be a bargaining hand.

But I won't let that happen. As Ingris, I want Latty to play a different role.

"Yes, I think so - we should launch measures against Al Card as soon as possible."

"Mm-hmm. I will return to the Imperial Castle immediately for a military conference. Redas, let's go!"

"Wait, Your Majesty!

That was the Marquis of Billford, who had been watching the events until now.

"Sir Billford, what's going on?

"This is a national priority - and my Knights of Yumil are here to help! Please let me know...!

"Mm-hmm, that would be helpful. Thank you for your loyalty....! Then join the military council."

"I understand!

Speaking of the king's army in this country, it is the Knights of the Holy Order and the Knights of the Kinsai.

And the lords of each territory have their own knights, like Yumil.

The Knights of the Knights of the Holy Order are currently turning to Venefik's response in the east and cannot move, so the Knights of the Kinsai are the main axis of response to the Alcard in the north.

In that case, the defenses of the King's Capital and its surroundings, which are normally carried out by the Knights of the Kinshasa, would have to be weak.

Either march there from each lord, or march directly to the northern front to reduce the Knights' burden - we'll need to deal with it anyway.

Nevertheless, each lord must first defend his own territory as a precondition.

It is natural to think that we do not want to lose the power to anything other than our own territory.

If someone can do something about it, it's best if you don't have to do anything.

I hear that there is also a line conflict between King Karias and Prince Wayne in the country.

The princes will not want to move until the fire has fallen on them.

If King Karias' face were to be crushed, Prince Wayne's stock would rise.

And from that point of view, Marquis Billford is supposed to be a prince.

Anyway, his son Raphael is a knight of the Order under the command of Prince Wayne, and he is a recognized one arm.

Even if the Marquis himself is indifferent to the central situation because he is a single-country aristocrat, objectively speaking, he can definitely be seen as such.

It would have been very grateful to King Carliss if the princely Marquis of Billford had first offered to help with the situation.

Now we can work together, whether kings or princes.

--This is good, if you proceed with this story, you will receive what Ingris is about to say more naturally.

"His Majesty the King. I have a suggestion for you, too."

Ingris calls King Carliss.

"... let's hear it. Your words are worth it."

"Thank you very much. I want you to send me and Raffinia to Alcard."

"What are you going to do? Ceasefire negotiations? But considering the Al Card situation, is it difficult?

There is also a reason why it cannot be pulled so easily.

It's to get the Heiral Menus and powerful Magic Mark Armor (Artifact) to protect the people.

"No - I'll go in secretly and create a situation where Alcard will draw his own troops."

"Hmm...? If that's possible, there's nothing to hope for. But what do we do? As I said earlier, there are some unforeseen circumstances over there?

"I'm going to break the reason. For example, if you defeat the Rainbow King (Prismar) Magic Stone Beast that appears in the land, you won't need to rush to seek out Princess Tian Mei Wu (Heiral Menas). Or if there is a coup d 'état and the policy changes, the decision may be made to make the relationship with the heavenly territories (Highlands) the same as before and stop the war. If that's too difficult - worst of all, we'll attack the Alcard army from behind and disrupt it."

"... I see, but..."

King Karias seems to have something to worry about.

I don't know what that is - Ingris has a general idea.

"Al Card also has forces opposed to current policy. Therefore, I would only like to take the form of helping them. I don't think that would incite the hostility of the Al Card people."

"Hmm, that's important. We must avoid fomenting the hostility of the people of Al-Qadh. If that's possible - but are we going to make a deal with the opposition?

"Well, fortunately, they have a personal helper..."

Well, if that's the case...

I don't think King Carliss would have thought that the messenger was lying there - that's why I couldn't let Latty talk about anything extra.

Once we know who he is, Ingris will not be allowed to return Latty to his country if he proposes this operation. Rather, it is a problem to admit it.

And since Ingris only has Ratty, if we take him into custody, we won't be able to execute this operation.

It is a problem to tell a lie when there is no handler.

You should carry things only to the extent that they are not lies.

Otherwise, Raffinia could be in trouble.

And just like Latty, Ian needs to be there.

He is the most familiar with the current situation in Alcard. It will guide me.

If Latty asks for your help, he won't betray you.

Above all - Ebel's technique of duplicating him.

I'm interested in that. If there are any research facilities left, I would like to go.

And I want you to try to replicate yourself - be the target of your training.

The mighty Magic Stone Beast that attacked Al Card, probably the Rainbow King (Prismar).

Like Ian and Diego, the warrior seems to have been empowered by the modification.

Alcard's army is pushing toward the border.

And the lab that Ebel might have left behind.

The northern earth is full of dreams.

This incident was, frankly, incomplete combustion.

That's why he went north in pursuit of his dreams. Believe there's a good fight waiting for you there.
