"Now it's a night raid..."

"Yes, and three times in exactly the same way... what are they thinking"

The battle taking place in front of me.

Seeing that, Mahzun groans so slightly as he tilts his neck.

"So, what's the current damage?

"As you can see, we were asking about enemy trends in case, so we are now almost on our military advantage. I thought the damage was extremely minor."

With a slight bow of his head, Mahzun, complacent that he had responded perfectly, answered that confidently.

In contrast, Nurzan nods one satisfactorily and confirms the next.

"Right. And what about the shooting squad?"

"We've already arranged that, too. As soon as you instruct, you can fire at the enemy at any time."

"Then let's just say we move it right away. Hit them in the body in the form of a bullet, how dangerous it is to remember a fool."

"Ha, right away!

At the behest of Nurzan, Mahzun attempts to rush out of the scene in order to immediately transfer the order to execution.

But at that time, a soldier came running under them.

"… Cardinals. They did, but once again, they started retreating."

"Again... what the hell are they going to do!

When he hears the report, Nurzan exposes his anger without concealing his frustration.

And it was the same with the Byrum priest, who pronounced his anger as he kicked the ground hard.

"The second fold wrapped his tail around him about as quickly as possible and fled, but isn't it early this time around? They don't know what shame is!

"This retreat is probably due to our protection and readiness, but..."

Asking about the complexion of Nurzan, the commander, the prudent Mahzun speaks of a sober reason for this retreat. But I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable repeating such reckless assaults with him.

"There is no way they can understand that they will repeat it twice and increase our vigilance. If so, it should have some purpose... Speaking of which, how are the two wings of the enemy doing this time?

"Instead of making any particular move to target the siege, this time they are retreating across the army, as if they had given up."

"Hmmm... you mean we did the fool three times and finally understood the foolishness of our measures"

In response to Mahzun, Nurzan reputationally shows so with his hands on his chin.

Priest Byram immediately asked for confirmation.

"Perhaps so. Either way, how about a pursuit?

"Leave him alone if you dare. If they fail three times, they won't be able to carry out any more useless assaults. All you have to do is smash them down when we have our supplies ready."

"... you're absolutely right. Then our army will also move from combat to vigilance."

Byrum, who wanted to carry out the chase, had a slightly dissatisfied look on his face, but he honestly bowed his head because he could fully understand that it was a reasonable instruction.

But at that time, Mahzun, who was staring at the enemy's movements, gives a suspicious look.

"Cardinals, isn't something weird about their movements?

"Weird movement? What's so weird, Muffins?"

"The… we continue to retreat even as the enemy returns to the line of self-defense"

Speaking so, Mahzun points to the enemy's main unit. There was the figure of the Kisletin who continued to retreat further beyond the point where they were supposed to have consolidated themselves as bases before the war.

"... what do you mean? There's too much retreat if you're going to lure me in."

"Are you going to pull us into a big line of people? But it's a little..."

I've just spoken that far, and Mahzun interrupts words just because he doesn't understand.

Then Byrum, who had remembered the frustration, spun out the words with an angry voice.

"It's been repeated three times. With them, you know we're not going after them stupid. That is why we have abandoned our pursuit. First of all, now they have Yui Istarz. That's ridiculous."

"Wait, what did I just say"

Nurzan, who suddenly changed his complexion, asks so in a way that blocks Byram's words.

Byrum, on the other hand, accidentally showed confusion as he wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"What?"

"I know I won't pursue you stupid. Yes, the priest said so."

It was not Nurzan who uttered the word.

Yes, it is the Judana Festival, which appeared on this occasion with a sarcastic look on its face.

"Judana, where do you have it?

"Ha, even though the enemy doesn't come, there's nothing to guard the holding. Are you sure you want to do better than that?

In response to Byram's inquiry as if it were reprimand, Judana asks the opposite with a cool face.

It was the commander, Nurzan, who reacted to the inquiry.

"... what the hell?

"It's about letting them go."

"Let them go... do you mean you think they paid for what they did?"

"Well, that's right. Make two sudden raids and repeat the action as if to invite that pursuit. Then the other person would decide that they had repeated the same action again for the third time and would not pursue it. Maybe that's what they're after."

That's what I said, and Judana showed it with a smile that made a mockery of her.

While uncomfortable with the look on his face, Nurzan calmly chews on his remarks.

"Two disguised retreats will loosen our pursuers and allow the body to retreat intact. If so, their purpose is… No, Yui Istarz, who appeared here in the first place, was supposed to take command of the South. If so...... no way their aim!

"Probably as the Cardinal thinks. That's why I'm here to make sure. Are you sure you want me to keep going?"

In an ironic tone, Judana tells that to Nurzan.

But in such a way as to ignore him, Nurzan speaks clearly of the instructions.

"... chase him!

"Su, Cardinal"

On that Nurzan sword screen, Mahzun lags behind for a moment.

But in response to him, Nurzahn spoke of the orders he should take now without getting his hair in.

"We're going after him now. Their aim is to put all their troops on the southern front and then beat us with a time difference. But I would never let that happen!

"Hmm, looks like you caught that reaction."

Looking back as he ran his horse, Calowyn smiles bitterly in its eyes at the enemy army that started the action.

Then the brunette man, who was running the horse next to him, nodded and showed one big thing.

"Sounds like it. We've earned at least as much distance as we had planned, and we've been able to confirm that a reporting ship from enemy forces to the southern front came out within yesterday."

I mean, this is how your lord wanted it to be.

"That doesn't mean it's a one-point deal, and it's not such a big deal. If I hadn't caught it, I would have planned to destroy each and every one of them as planned in Plan E... and I guess that's about it for my job on the Eastern Front anyway. So thank you for the rest."

In a sarcastic tone, Yui turns to the commander of this army to tell him so.

In contrast, Calowyn let her tongue pound slightly as if she were obstinate.

"Shit, just enjoy the delicious part"

"Ha, sorry."

Yui, hearing the stupidity, scratches his head lightly with a bitter smile.

"Hmm. Anyway, I'll take them to the promised place with a moderate smell of bait. It's your job from there."

"I'm worried about what it should be called my job, but the neighborhood does as it was originally planned D. So I'll see you in Caserta, Karowyn-kun."

At the same time, Yui speeds up the horse and breaks up with the Callowins.

Where he aspires.

It was the name of a land where the streets of the south and east meet for Milanir, called Caserta.
