Some time after Fred's launch, Jason and the others gathered at the lakeside lodge for a tactical meeting.
Nevertheless, the content of the meeting is thin.
Because I only checked the status quo.
"General Kimble betrayed, General Wilmente's troops stopped moving, and surrendered to the Marquis of Welrod."
"There are about 9,000 people left on the main team.Besides, I don't know who betrayed me. "
Everyone had the idea that "surrender is the only way", even though no one talked.
But surrender is no guarantee of life.
There must be about Jason.
There was a question as to how far the Knights of the Kintetsu would recognize the rare value of "being able to use magic."
If it sells well, it will be a tough situation.
"Is there any way out?"
Everyone lay down their eyes on the words of the Knight Commander.
I can't think of any way to get through this situation.
--How to defeat an enemy or escape.
If I had thought of one of those, I would have suggested it a long time ago.
Only Isaac, who is ironically hostile, can come up with a way to turn this situation around.
And that breakthrough is likely to have been crushed first.
If Admiral Fitzgerald were alive, there might still be room for negotiation.
However, I regret not being able to stop Fred's rampage.
"Did those who accompanied General Kimble betray you?"
"No, he might have been killed.Even though you can use magic, you can't resist being pushed by a number. "
"In that case, I didn't hear a fight.There may have been a traitor and I was struck by surprise. "
If so, what about in here?
Three hundred Knights of the Knights of the Kimble allow General Kimble to act freely.
There must be a traitor inside the Knights of the Kimble, conspiring with General Kimble to silence him.
In some cases, they may have all been killed.
That means the other generals who remain here are also suspicious.
No, I can't even believe the Knights of the Guards.
Only the Knights of the Knights who helped Jason can be trusted.
Everyone had become suspicious.
"Stop. You're just talking about the past, and you think you can open up the future?"
Jason throws a word there that he can bathe in cold water.
Everybody says, "It's your fault!"But I stopped talking about General Kimble.
"Did you check the ship?"
"We didn't have any ships.The pier was left, so Uncle Lancaster must have removed it. "
"Uncle Lancaster confirmed that he was going to betray you from the beginning."
Jason's eyes are full of hate.
But the tone was still calm.
If it wasn't for Nicole, I'd still be cool.
"Can't you do something with magic?As soon as I dismantle the lodge, I'll be able to cut the trees and build a ship. "
"As long as it's shaped, you can make something like a boat.But I don't know if it floats in the water.If there is a water leak anywhere, it will sink. "
"Nobody wants to go on a sinking boat."
The words of a general gather everyone's eyes.
With that gaze, I realized that what I had just said was inaccurate.
"I'm sorry about this.I have no problem with that. "
"Well, in a situation like this, you're going to want to say one of the ironies.Take a break. Get some water. "
Jason orders a drink to be prepared in order to take one.
Servants prepare glasses for the number of people and pour water.
First the poison star takes a sip, then Jason takes a little.
In the middle of June, the season is summer.
The water stored at room temperature is naturally warm.
In the old days, this was obvious and I didn't care.
But now Jason wasn't enough.
"Can you make ice?"
"Yes, of course!"
He said to Jason, "You've got a plan!Eyes filled with expectations. "
Well then, let's make some ice.
But it quickly turned into disappointment.
Jason gave me the glass.
(This guy! Shall I give Lord Enfield his neck?)
Originally, the Knights of the Kinsai came to Jason because they were dissatisfied with Elias' treatment.
The biggest part of it was to supply magic to the fridge to make ice.
Instead of supplying magic this time, I ordered you to make ice directly.
Handled as a tool, grievances culminate.
But Jason, who should know their anger, remained calm.
"Just to get my head working.Now consider your priorities and keep your dissatisfaction down. "
Ha.
As Jason commands, the Knights of the Kinsuke make ice.
But in his heart, he was furious.
(If you don't think of anything now, I'll surrender with your neck!)
Drop ice on your glass while you're angry.
He is wearing armor in a slightly sweaty atmosphere.
I want something cold.
Once remembered, luxury cannot be forgotten easily.
Others follow one after the other, saying, "To think cold."
Looking at them, Jason was reviewing Elias.
(Just ice, but ice. Even I, who knew the Neighborhood Guard's dissatisfaction, asked for ice.Was it because my father estimated the value of the ice that he used tools like a refrigerator?)
Ice water on hot days has a pleasant charm.
Drinking a glass of water prompts Jason to replace it.
When the glass was poured with water, there was a blast.
The sound of ice floating in the water and hitting the glass.
When he noticed it, Jason smiled fufufu.
"What comes to mind this time?"
"Oh, thanks to Lord Enfield."
Lord Enfield?
Everyone looked at each other.
Needless to say, Isaac is not here.
I finally begin to wonder if Jason's head has gone completely crazy.
Jason shakes the ice glass gently.
In the glass, the ice clanked.
"Ice. Ice will save us."
Isaac, you wanted me here, didn't you?But the packing was sweet.Thanks to the tools you gave my father, I think I can return to Nicole.)
Jason laughs again.
It seems pleasant, too.
Those around him were still suspicious that "His Majesty has gone mad".
- Until I heard his plan.
"Look in the glass. Ice floats in the water.Then why don't we make a ship out of ice? "
"With ice....."
Everyone peeks into the glass.
Indeed, ice is floating in the water.
However, we still don't know if it can really be used on a ship.
I couldn't hide my anxious expression.
"Trees are hard to fill gaps, but ice should be easy.Even if it's flooded, you can freeze the water.Fortunately, there is plenty of water. Would it be easy to fix a hole in the ship? "
Following Jason's words, the Kintetsu Knight looked at him with a hopeful expression.
"Yes! You can make ice with less magic than you can make ice from nothing.You'll be able to cut across the lake! "
"Well then, get on with it. We're getting out of here!"
Ha!
The Knights drank water and headed for the lake.
----------
"Fufufu, Isaac didn't even know how to do this."
Jason was smiling as he boarded the ice ship.
It was a self-portrait self-admiring smile due to the fact that Isaac was out and a strange idea that could cut through the scene.
"Your Majesty was the one who came up with such a ship."
"Let's head to the other side."
When Jason told me to make ice, the Knights of the Kintetsu were even killing, but now they're not.
"You've come up with a great solution," he smiles with Nico.
Jason and I are in the same position, but if there is an escape method, we will not go beyond that.
I was happy to build an escape ship.
However, there is also a problem with the ice ship.
I couldn't get enough size to ride a horse.
In the first place, I couldn't do it because I didn't like horses getting on the boat.
The horses had to be procured beyond the lake.
I was lucky to be able to procure it quickly in the city.
Jason looks back.
Only thirty trusted Knights and generals who actively supported Jason will lead us out of this escape.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers will be left behind.
We are giving orders to those who remain.
It is their role to lead as many enemy soldiers as possible and earn time.
The harder the soldiers fight, the more the Allied nobles will think Jason is still here.
It is a situation where we want that precious time, even if it is small.
Jason was prepared to give an order, saying, "It is a strict order, but it must also be given as a person who stands above people."
"Their lives will not be wasted.It will be the foundation for protecting the future of the Reid Kingdom. "
"Yes, but can we move the ship without the oar?"
"It can be done with the magic of the wind.You can only go straight ahead, but there should be no problem. "
"Well, then, let me show you."
Ha.
There are five Kintetsu Knights in each of the other ships, split up into six ships and board.
This assignment was thought of as magical propriety.
The reason for this shall be discovered immediately.
One of the Knights of the Guard sits behind the ship.
And when they cast the magic of the wind, they pushed forward with the power of the wind.
Well, that's interesting.
"It's probably uncomfortable to ride, so keep your mouth shut to avoid biting your tongue."
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest."
Jason doesn't complain, either, because things are going well.
I decided to hold onto the bow of the boat in case of shaking and wait for it to reach the other side.
Those left were looking at them in disappointment.
Because Jason ran away on his own and gave orders to those left behind.
Buy time to escape to King's Landing and cut off as many Allied soldiers as you can.
If they had been ordered to "die with me here," they would have kept fighting until the end.
But in this situation, I can't afford to follow orders.
What do we do?
"... I will surrender with my men."
A certain general declares his intention to surrender.
Then he threw a gaze at the Knights of the Guards.
"You might get stabbed in the back, but that's fine.Can you let your men die in this battle? "
"Only the Captain or Captain Class who has just fled have been able to assist you.We did not like to cooperate with His Majesty. "
The guard knight turned his gaze back.
He didn't follow Jason unconditionally either.
"So you think I can surrender?"
"Yes, of course. You may be suspected, and we may serve as surrender messengers.Take the lead and show your willingness to cooperate. "
Well, I'll take care of that.
The messenger of surrender is a dangerous role.
Had it not been for the edge of the war, you would have accepted the surrender, but now the edge of the war is open.
"I don't listen to rebel bullshit!There was also the possibility of being truncated without asking questions.
I would have gladly entrusted you with that dangerous role.
"But I wonder if you could give me another recommendation to surrender.That way we can get down safely. "
"You can't expect that.First of all, let's give priority to the soldiers. "
I see.
I try to get away from the lake shore to do what I have to do now.
Among them, a guard knight looks back towards Jason.
"If he had been a young majesty, he would have saved his life without being commanded to do so.Why did this happen.... "
--Most people involved with Jason thought so.
He felt the same thing.
Soon after, the Count of Bristol will come to advise you to surrender.
