The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

On the eastern realm of Creniere, in the eastern part close to the border with Novelcion, there are three fortifications. The northernmost of these is Fort Fader.

Its fortress on a high hill, on the border side, is a cliff, and the castle gate is on the west side. In order to enter, it is dressed to climb an elongated path to the castle gate, making it a difficult fortress to attack inside.

The border is only close, making it a more operational base for all the battles we've been through.

At Creniere Castle, I heard the fort was in the hands of an armed group, and I'm out at Fort Fader.

"Mr. Shahrul."

"My Lord Marquis Tokitomo!

The First Mage of the Marquis of Creniere came running over to acknowledge my appearance.

"What's the situation?

"Ha, it's a bunch of beasts who have escaped from Novelcion. This one tried to enter the castle, and that's what I called it."

Name it, huh? Didn't you declare earlier that you weren't a bandit? If you're a criminal, you're doomed.

"Can we talk about the fact that we named him? What are their demands?

"'This fort is ours, man walk away'.... Sometimes the advance party was small, and they couldn't seem to get their hands on it when they blocked the castle gate"

Shahrul reported with regret.

"Did you tell the other side what this one said?

"Yes, Fort Fader will be owned by the Marquis of Creniere. You're the one who's illegally in possession, so I'm telling you to leave immediately."

"But don't you respond? How many are there over there?

"There seems to be a dozen of them. The exact number is unknown."

"... are we going to make it our own house"

A feeling similar to blur came out of my mouth. Shahrul also stretched his spine, while looking at the scarred fortress of a war disaster, as he shrugged.

"I was targeted for hand emptying, but honestly, occupying the fort can only be good as a fool"

"Oh, because it's inevitable to clash with the Lord's army.... I guess that still means I don't want to go back"

Because Novelcion's subhuman, beastly discrimination has a reputation for being terrible. My lord, and Shahrul took a step forward.

"There are not enough soldiers to forcibly enter. Gather your men and you'll need time."

You act as if you're my direct report, Mr. Shahrul. Besides, I took care of this place from the Marquis of Creniere. Let's take on the subordinates and beasts over here without any cumbersome formalities, on condition.

"I can't take too long"

Our troublesome neighbors aren't attacking us any time soon, but we need to get ready soon.

"If you stand longer, that's all you'll get attached to."

"Bye -"

"Take hard means.... Well, nothing will perish. Let's play some magic."

Sending sleep magic all over the fort - very simple when it comes to lettering.

That's the hand you did when you stepped into the Guaran Institute. But what's different from that underground facility is that there are windows and battle holes in this fort somewhere, so a magical infiltration from one place doesn't get to the whole place?

In short, it's considerably more laborious than then. But there will be no further hand in disabling the standing refugees without harm.

First disappear with transparency and approach the fort. Enter the blind spot on the lookout and release the transparency once. Floating and beyond the walls. and check if there are any lookouts ahead of climbing before breaking in. Transparency again. Keep looking for places where the Beasts are and gradually apply sleep magic to allowances and.

On several occasions, I was about to be perceived for the smell and signs of this one, such as the Beast Man, who has excellent hearing and smell? I was alerted, but I was put to sleep before the noise, so I took control of the fort without being disturbed.

Operate the castle gate and invite troops from the outside into Kreniere territory. The soldiers restrain the sleeping beasts and gather them in one place.

Shahrul came.

"Excellent work, My Lord Tokitomo"

"Yeah. We spent magic there."

Me turning my hands to relax my shoulders. If I could use sleep magic for one piece, I'd still be glad, but it was handled individually, so it was a lot of times anyway.

"Good day, my lord. That was a quick fix."

"As long as I know how to do it, it's not that hard. They don't have magical defenses."

If it cannot be countered, it is an effective hand. If you close your eyes to the amount of magic you consume.

"Is the sleep magic used by Your Excellency of the target effect? Or something that splashes and aspirates sleep ingredients into the atmosphere?

"You're both. Use it separately in some cases. Spread on the atmosphere works almost simultaneously for many people, but when it is windswept and scattered, it becomes an unexpected move"

"Sometimes it works for your allies. It's a pain in the ass to sleep, but if it's poisonous magic, you can't even see it."

"That's why the magic of that hand isn't used in a massive siege."

Nobody wants to blow themselves up.

Now, the treatment of the beasts in captivity...

"The Marquis of Creniere has given me permission to take them to Tokitomo territory. They're all going to keep it here."

"Yes, my lord. Exactly those who have committed the crime of illegal occupation in the East Territories. If you leave it here, you have to punish it."

Shahrul agreed but immediately creased between his brows.

"My lord, may I ask you one thing?

"What?"

"Why was Your Excellency trying to protect the beasts this time? With all due respect, this is not your land."

"With extra intervention, huh?

"No, such...... Instead, you solved the case, and we helped."

"Yeah, that's the answer. There's still a heap to do. You Creniere soldiers are busy pioneering and defending this eastern realm. [M] I don't care if you follow me around here."

It moves because it has some good intentions and some interests of its own.

Selling favors to neighbors is also insurance for times of need. I've been betrayed on the ground by the United States, and I won't let that happen again.

... Aside from that, protect twenty beastmen, including women and children, in this fort. By the way, almost the same number of beasts and subhumans are already protected in the front-line stronghold settlements of the adventurers. There's going to be more people.

For once, it is necessary to examine whether it is not a criminal, but is Tokitomo territory only in the process of having a head count? Even Noi Arvent is expecting more people to migrate.
