The offensive between the Fiebles and the knights of Valiere became a fierce battle, with casualties on both sides.

The bandits lack pawns because we swept away the front force. As a result, control of the mansion will fail.

But the thief apparently broke into the mansion from his back, aiming for the life of Count Balm, albeit temporarily, and approaching right next door.

But Marcus, who was with him, took over the enemy leader and saved our Lord.

That's good news so far. But there's some bad news.

Richt, son of Lasse Valiere, was kidnapped by the Fieble.

They were making snowmen out of the back of the mansion. Mrs Melowna disturbed and cried when she saw the soldiers of the snowman that the Richter boy had pelted.

Normally, the moderate Mr. Lasse also changed his blood phase and said, "Pursue the thief immediately! Get Richter back!" and was pronouncing an anger.

But, and it was Knight Halligan who hesitated to report.

"The enemy has set fire to the stables and hasn't quenched them yet! And the knights..."

There were many wounded, about half ready to move. It should be noted that me and Early were turning healing magic on such injured people.

Co-worker knights raised their voices and their power was recovering so that their wounds could heal.

"... Lord Jin and His Highness Early are hanging the healing magic. We'll have the numbers, won't we?

Mr Lasse said in such a manner as to threaten the Knight of Halligan.

"Oh, but..."

"But? But what!?

"Calm down, my son"

Count Balm appeared on the table. There is also Marcus beside him.

"If the horses are aligned, we can't catch up. I'm in a hurry to rebuild now."

"But, Father! Even while we're doing this, Richter! They could kill us!

It is a band of bandits who have a grudge against the Valiere family. In retaliation for executing the leader's brother, he may tragically kill the Richter boy and hang his body. To the words, the Lady raised her voice and cried.

I've got someone who needs early medical attention. When I got up, I called in a magic comm.

"This is Sorcerer. Poynix, what about the fleeing enemy remnants?

"This is Poynix. Currently tracking.... horseback riding and its escorts carrying a child considered eligible are on the move in the four rides, northeast direction '

The eyes of Poinix, which lag over, capture the movement of the remnants of the Fiebles.

When I called one of the Shapeshifter soldiers who came as reinforcements, I borrowed Tokitomo-style combat binoculars, which were observation gear.

Built-in copy core also on camera. In addition to distance measurement, images can be transferred by dark vision function, magic detection, shooting, and built-in core.

"Got it, poinix. Move on to tracking here as well. Turn the data on the perimeter map over here. '

Check the number assigned to the combat binoculars, and I'll order Poynix to transfer the topographic data.

Get the magic paper out of storage and try to spread it out...... realize there is no table. Behind the mansion, that is, outdoors, underneath, trampled snow.

"Captain"

The shapeshifter soldier gave me a board the same size as magic paper. Where did you get it out, no, maybe a shapeshifter used part of his body to form a plate. Because the black slime is the main body of the phantom, they are.

Place the magic paper on the board and point further at the side with the copy core of the binoculars. The core glowed pale, transferring data from poinix and transcribing it onto magic paper. … These transfers are not mechanical in themselves, they are the original function of the core.

"What are you doing, Lord Jin?"

You cared what I was doing, Count Balm came. Just, Magic Paper became a map.

"I'm going to act to get you back, Richt, so you're going to be ready for it."

"Behavior...... when you join the rescue!?

"Absolutely."

I don't know what you're surprised about, but if Marcus' nephew was kidnapped, there's no reason not to cooperate.

If we stared at the map data we got from Poinix, Count Balm was followed by Mr Lasse.

"Lord Jin, this is..."

"It's a map. -" Poynix, what's the enemy's move?

Leave Tokitomo-style combat binoculars with SS soldiers. The soldier left the copycore surface pointed at the map, and the red light dot illuminated a point.

"This red dot is the remnant of the enemy that seems to be carrying you right now, Richt."

"Holy shit!?

Both the Count and Mr Lasse were stunned. Well, I guess so. On the map, we know where the enemy is.

... and I thought at this time, I asked Marcus later, and he was surprised at the location of the enemy, but also at the elaborate map. A little uneven sensation.

"So, the enemy's escape route, is there anything ahead?

I don't have a land survey, so I ask the locals for their opinions. Mr. Lasse roared and opened his mouth as Marcus peered into the map.

"Sure, there seemed to be an abandoned castle ahead..."

It's not a castle, it's a fort.

Count Balm will look like he bit a bitter bug.

"Fort Duré...... well, it has been abandoned since aging and the Lord has also died"

"That's where the bandits come in?

"No, it's supposed to be deserted there. The knight under his command has confirmed..."

That's it, Count Balm shut his mouth. Mimizu's face turns red.

"Right, perdante! You lied about being deserted!

An exasperating Count.

Perdante? - When I saw Marcus, I replied, "It's the knight who was serving us". This time, he said he was a traitor who guided the bandits.

So the knights, who were part of the bandits, were falsely reporting and hiding the existence of Azit.

Well, it's not Ajit yet, maybe it's just a midpoint, but it sounds like you'd better act like an enemy Ajit.

"I don't know how the bandits will treat you, Richter, so I'm gonna have to go help you out early."

Based on the actions aimed at the Count's life, the abduction of the child should have been unplanned. What didn't kill him on the spot was insurance when the assassination failed?

It would mean that some guys were cautious anyway. But there's also the possibility of losing the leader and killing the hostages on the stomach.

I order you to move the infantry combat vehicle (Equus) to the back of the mansion. Early was already on top of the soldier transport block.

"You're going to help, aren't you?

"Of course.... Marcus"

"I'll give it to you!

"Lord Jin, could you take me too!

Mr. Russell grabbed my arm so he could stick around.

"I want to help Richter!

I know you want to save your son as a father... but this man, will you take him and become a force of war?

Equus's soldier transport room can accommodate up to ten people. If you want to slow down Equus, you can get on top of the body.

Me, Early, Marcus and I were going to take the rest with SS soldiers and one or two of the knights with the land survey, but Mr. Lasse... hmm.

When I was on tour, a new group came from behind Equus. It was Captain Olivia or less who rode the floating bike Wolpace, Early's Kingsguard. That number, ten members of a detachment.

"If Your Highness is going to the battlefield, we will escort you!

That is the Kingsguard. Just fine, or I'm just wondering if I should be cautious if it's too late to come, but okay. Put SS soldiers and some Valiere knights on Wolpace, and Mr. Lasse will have a seat.

I slapped him on the shoulder, the next time I was in charge.

"Okay, let's go. We have to help your son."
