Trinitas Mundus

Episode 35: Two Recapture Operations

February 26th.

Stella and Uno, who infiltrated Luberna, the capital of the Moon Demons, successfully escaped.

Even when entering the capital it was not so tough to examine, but when leaving it was even more dodgy. The soldiers guarding the gate do not even check the carriage, the stellars do not feel any danger, but join Dies, who was waiting outside the city, to the rays' waiting rowni.

Arriving under the Rays, Stella immediately began reporting. It is told that the witch of the moon has left the capital from her mouth, that clerics and spellmen have been gathered for about half a month now.

"... it still doesn't seem to be going well between demons and ghosts. I've been looking the other way through the snitchy people you've put me on, but it looks like you thought of me as a ghost snitch. I've heard other stories about Zalesche and Luberna still haven't worked out"

"There was a similar story on my part," Uno nodded.

"It looks like the priest of Zalesche's Temple of Darkness is back. And all of them."

Ray accidentally said, "Is it all of us?" and I pinch my mouth. Uno nodded small, continuing to talk further.

"From time to time, it looks like the Winged Demons we saw before we entered the Rowni. There were many voices anxious that it would be a battle with Zalesche."

Hearing reports of Stella and Uno, Ray was slightly relieved.

He was watching for seven days in Lowni, but few went through the streets, and the demons never flew away. As a result, he was already beginning to feel anxious that Luna might have been transferred to Luberna. I was in such a hurry that Ashley told me so many times that I had to wait for information about the infiltrated stellars.

Seven days of that anxiety had been a good rest for him. There was little movement during this period, and there was no use of magic, so he was given a full rest, and his poor health was completely restored.

The fact that there were few people in this area and that there was a relatively abundance of beasts and wild grass to feed, as well as the fact that Ocho, the liaison officer, had obtained wheat, vegetables, etc. as he scouted nearby villages, has helped the recovery.

"Let's wait here for the base."

Speaking as Ray proclaims, the others nod loudly.

"Uno, make sure there is no other way out than this. Probably should be flying in the sky, not on the ground. Explore it from that perspective."

Ashley said in those words, "Don't you have to think about the ground?," he questioned.

"There's something wrong with the relationship between ghosts and demons. War, civil unrest in this case, but I don't think I can think of escorting a key figure named" Son of the Moon "with me in that situation."

Everyone is convinced of the word. And he says, "And." And I felt everyone's gaze, adding, "I don't know why, but the Moon Demons seem in a hurry," he said.

"In a hurry? Why," Ashley says on behalf of everyone.

"I think there's something wrong with the fact that the Moon Witch picked me up straight away. A witch is a representative of this country, that is, someone like a queen. I find it strange in itself that such a great man should go out"

"I guess the Son of the Moon is like the use of God. I don't think it's so strange to pick it up."

"That may be true, but the priest of Zalesche is pulling up and leaving the capital like he's going to be replaced with it. If you called the clergy back to perform the ritual, you can take Luna with the clergy. But there's something wrong with wanting to replace it, and I can't help but seem to be dealing with it... I don't have any certainty."

Stella listened to Ray and said, "Wouldn't the ghosts need a son of the moon?"

Ray said to the words, "What makes you think that?" and lean his neck.

"The ghost tribe seldom worships the Great Temple of Darkness. People and beasts said ghosts are faint of faith. And even in Periclitle, the ghosts were obsessed with the occupation of the city, but I don't think it had anything to do with Luna's abduction."

Ray listened to her and began to meditate his eyes and think.

(Maybe Stella's right. Indeed, only the Moon Demons were obsessed with Luna (Mr. Moon Palace). Besides, I also felt less than welcome in the village of Leriche... because you mean that Mr. Tsukiya might be under house arrest by a ghost tribe... I guess he just doesn't kill or hurt the use of God, but it could be awkward...)

He will tell everyone his reasoning.

"I don't think Stella was right, the Ghosts showed much interest in the Moon Son. So Luna may be under house arrest in Zalesche. Maybe the witch went to Zalesche with a wing demon to recapture Luna."

Ashley said, "Isn't that strange?,"

"Assuming Luna is imprisoned by Zaleshe, it will not be necessary for the witch herself to go. According to information gathered by Lord Uno and Stella, the witch barely leaves the capital. If you're going to recapture, send in the Moon Demons and Wing Demons."

To Ashley's point, Ray said, "Right. You didn't have to overlap inferences at this stage," he nodded.

"When we sort out what we know at this stage, the demons and ghosts are in conflict. Luna's come close, but she's not in Luberna yet. The Moon Witch is picking you up directly. It's been about seven days since I picked him up. This is the information we now know…"

And we're going to talk about future policies.

"So when this happens, there's a good chance the Moon Witch and Luna will be back together. If you reconcile with a ghost tribe and come travel on the ground with them, they won't pass through here for another ten days because the journey will take time. I don't know how fast the Moon Demons and Wing Demons can fly, but suppose the Moon Witch left seven days ago, it's not strange it's time to come back. For example, it would be better to have been monitoring the sky over the last few days than on the ground. Can we get this far?

When we make sure everyone snorts, we continue to explain further.

"Mr. Uno, look for a place other than here where the demons are likely to fly over. The deadline expires the day after tomorrow. I think we should act together after that..."

Then head to Ashley and Stella,

"Ash and Stella think about what happened after they helped Luna out while she was here watching with me and gathering supplies for food and stuff. Whatever you say, you're going to expose yourself in the middle of enemy land, so you have to be prepared to wander through the woods for days, and you need to think about crossing that wilderness."

Even if you are lucky enough to get Luna back, this is the deepest part of the enemy country and you need to travel at least five hundred km (Kimmel) to get west of the Aquila Mountains. In addition to having enemy pursuits, he thought that being in the middle of winter and being accompanied by Luna, who was physically close to the average person, would be a tougher escape than when he infiltrated.

"In any case, we have to pull it down from the sky to get Luna back. For once, I have a plan, but I also need to confirm it..."

Ray gave more detailed instructions.

■ ■ ■

When Stella and the others joined Ray, near Zaleshe, the ghost capital, Elise Nortia, the “Witch of the Moon”, was preparing to recapture the “Son of the Moon” Luna (...).

Three days ago, on the 23rd of February, the meeting with Luna broke down, thinking that it was the only way to forcefully abduct her, but it was not easy to take Luna, the most important figure, out of the centre of the capital, which is heavily guarded, even though she is a demon who can fly through the sky.

Luna had stayed at the mansion of the Ventura clan of the Middle-Ghost clan, but after her meeting with Ehlis, she had stayed at the Grand Political Office to make her exercise strict vigilance.

Since this instruction was given, there has been so much vigilance that it seems during the war, day and night, that even Keira Lyvio, a wing demon who is good at covert action, has had a difficult time sneaking into the Great Government Agency.

Talvo Kronvar of the Great Ghost tribe that divides the Council of Chiefs and Solum Sommeryoki of the Little Ghost tribe assumed that Ealis would use puppet technique, laying a complex system of security that would be monitored by more than one family member. The Klonvar family warriors, who protect Luna's surroundings in particular, have hit the guard without coming into contact with anyone other than their colleagues. Afraid they would be puppeted, they would not return to the mansion or meet with their families, they were simply stuck in the Great Government.

Furthermore, the Someryoki spellman monitored the Kronvar family and constructed a system to rescue the son of the moon with the Ventura family of the Middle-Ghost tribe in case of suspicious movements. In addition, all windows the size of which could be accessed by persons in the Grand Government were strictly sealed off, with only one entrance and exit. It was a system whereby the Bindler and Budosco families guarded the entrance and exit.

Ellis carefully prepares to feel in a hurry but failures are not tolerated.

What she did was similar to what Varma did in Periclitle. First, he snuck into the mansion of the Middle-Ghost tribe and puppeted the chief of the clan to send collaborators inside the Great Government Agency. Invite the Chiefs to the Mansion in order to make the Chiefs look for the Grand Government as well as create further collaborators. Only four collaborators have been gained in the last four days because puppeting many chiefs at a time makes them more likely to be exposed, but they gradually accumulated information about where Luna is and the security system by puppeting chiefs who are still free to enter and leave the Great Government.

Ellis lurks with Varma and Keira and other Winged Demons in a Middle-Ghost mansion close to the Grand Administration. She was thinking about the recapture of Luna as she peered through the window at the Great Political Office.

(Strict security. I don't think I can take you without you out of the grand government office. I need to ask your son to go outside at all costs...)

Ellis will hold consultations with Varma and others.

"I can't help you as long as your son is in the big government. I need you to get out of the big government somehow. Do you have any good ideas?"

Keira bows her head, "I'm sorry," but Varma talks her own thoughts when she looks down.

"Your son used to give speeches to the haunted folk. Let's give a speech for the Ghosts."

"How? I don't think your son is out against the ghost people in this situation," Ellis denies.

Varma, however, shook her head "wearing it" small.

"Your son was telling the people about the ideals of Sochius. The people will come out if they want."

"A people of the Ghost Nation. I don't think the Dark God (Noctis) 's appearance, the Son of the Moon, is going to be in a dangerous place just for that."

Ellis is highly voter conscious and doesn't understand what Varma means.

"I was always beside your son. Noctis, the more I thought I was that person, the more I reassured anyone equally. If you are your son, you will surely be able to fulfill the wishes of the people."

I assure you with confidence. Though Ehlis does not understand, he reconsiders that there is no risk if he fails.

"Right. If you fail, you just won't be able to come out. Things aren't the same now. Looks like it's worth a try...... the only problem is the Black Demons. Without them, we could do anything with ghosts."

Elise shrugs confidently, but Varma had anxiety.

"There are Little Ghost Spellmasters," he says, immediately denying with a disdainful look that "they are not the number of things, such as Little Ghost Spellmasters".

"Sure, it's inferior to ability, but it's not an insult to numbers," he further expressed suspicion. Ealis, who is not usually disputed, opens his eyes slightly, but convinces him that there is nothing defiant about Varma and he is simply feeling anxious.

"Sure, if it's a lot of numbers, it could be a hassle, but only this time, you'll be fine."

Elise tells Varma what she thinks.

"Let the Middle-Ghost tribe riot. It feels like taking your son back from the Big Ghost and the Little Ghost. Multiply that mess and get into the square and take your son back at once. The Little Ghost Spellmaster can't unleash magic on your son either. 'Cause that's what makes the people beat you up."

Her thoughts manipulate the Chiefs of the Middle-Ghost Nation to mount an anti-Great Ghost Nation, anti-Little Ghost Nation movement. The most commonly inhabited people in Zalesche are the Middle-Ghost tribes, which will not be easy to clean up if riots occur. Use that confusion to take Luna. It is possible to carry with two wing demons if it is a short distance, and it is not difficult to escape a ghost tribe without horses if you hide a mobile in a suburban stronghold.

Varma is also convinced of that explanation, and laughs, "How is it going to make you confused after all," but gives a lonely look, "I'm sure your son will hate you," he said.

"It's a small matter before it matters. You have to listen to us to trust your son. So, it's a little rough, but this is necessary," he said.

Elise used the Chiefs of the Middle-Ghost tribe and began fanning the people.
