Chapter 5, Episode 29 [Forced Castle] Part 4

Mike, who was writing in his tent, felt a slight movement of air on his skin.

Normally, we have to be alert to assassins, but this is the deepest part of the formation that has been double twenty consolidated by the soldiers.

On top of that, in the darkness around us, a few hand-worked men sent by the Igazakis are following Mike, who is entrusted with his deputy as his escort.

There are only so many assassins who can break through those guards so quietly that they can be counted with one hand.

And it's hard to imagine an assassin with so much skill being hired on purpose to target a deputy like Mike. If I were to aim, I would be aiming directly at your son Ryo Shiba's true life.

If so, there was only one answer left.

"Is something wrong?

Without moving his gaze from the parchment at hand, Mike asks quietly.

With that word, there was one man on one knee before the microphone.

"Excuse me for the night. The pavilion is here for you."

"Young? I see you got word from Ipilos."

Mike quietly asks the words of the decree, which concealed his face in mask, without looking surprised.

It was quite a rush to begin with, but I got used to it naturally over and over again.

"Yes, I'm diving into Ipilos. I told you the words from my head," My lord Mike. "

"Well, then, Lord Hiranuchi has done well."

Shadow answered Mike's question in silence.

Very few words do shadows speak other than their own.

Of course, we are not completely abandoning humane feelings such as euphoria, but we are extremely rare to put them on the table during a mission.

"What else is young?

"No, I was just told to call Lord Mike."

"Right...... ok. Good luck."

When the shadow nods silently into Mike's words, he merges the figure into the darkness again.

"Phew... for now everything is working as young as you think... the problem is after this"

As he quickly cleaned out the brushes and paperwork he was spreading on his desk, Mike sat deeply back in the chair and looked up to heaven.

Behind his eyes staring into the sky without a place, Mike's brain buries into the sea of thought.

It is not the muscle that goes out early than it would have been called to its own master if it had been.

But Mike's lord has quite a different personality from the ordinary lord.

Why did you call me? What is the problem? How should it move? What's the risk? What's the benefit?

Ryo Tru's way of asking for opinions after considering the various elements around him just never allows him to answer that he didn't come out as soon as he was called.

(How does it work? Ipilos became as young as he thought. If you keep working with Lord Nakauchi on the attack, you can drop it enough... No, then the damage will be great...)

It is true that winning is not the ultimate aim of the battle, but the way you win is also more important than this battle has already confirmed victory.

At least, you don't need to attack Ipilos in this battle to drain your own soldiers in vain.

(Plus, I'll have to get ready for the next fight...)

If you win this battle, Ryo Michizai will establish control of the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia.

In other words, they will smash the ten northern houses and take their territory.

And what can be done afterwards is the vast baron territory of Goshiba, which occupies nearly a quarter of the kingdom.

It is equal to being able to have a country comparable to the Principality in both honor.

But that is something that can never be overlooked by Lupis Roselianus, who became king of the Kingdom of Roselia.

(At that time, I never thought this would happen)

There's something bitter going on in Mike's chest.

Originally, Ryo Shiba and Lupis joined hands during the civil unrest ahead.

A line of mercenaries led by Liangzhen and Rione, who were put in an unexpected predicament by the plot of Walth, Fulzard's guild leader, really wanted a powerful back shield to protect themselves.

At the same time, Princess Lupis, who at the time was overwhelmingly disadvantaged, was thirsty for a human being capable of cracking down on the situation.

Human beings whose abilities are not so powerful, and human beings whose powers are so weak.

I'm pretty sure it was destined to be exactly what these two met as heavenly dispensations.

That is why, if the relationship between the two were as good as it was, they might have been told as a heroic epic poem "saga" that lasted a thousand years.

But it didn't last long during the honeymoon.

It was just after the end of the civil unrest that the relationship between the two became intransigent.

(Well, not that I don't even know how Queen Lupis feels)

From the moment of birth, the fear Lupis felt is understandable to Mike, who has lived within the strict identity system of the earth world.

Though not sure if someone had let him in and wisdom, or whether he had made the final decision after figuring it out for himself, Lupis planned to seal Ryo Mitsuzai in the Waltenia Peninsula and kill him.

For a ruler, there is no more horrible being than a competent man of low stature.

Not to mention the warring world now.

These are difficult times for even parents and brothers to trust unconditionally.

So there are two options to take when you add an untrustworthy competent person to your distribution.

The only way to do this is to kill them relentlessly, or to lock them up in idle or peripheral lands so that they can't make a leap.

From that point of view, Lupis' chosen choice cannot yet be described as a moderate decision.

Because it's obvious that choosing to kill doesn't rot after all.

But it is nothing but the arrogance of the powerful.

Then, the button that was hung incorrectly once gradually increases the crack between the two.

The serpents unleashed on the field have continued to grind their poisonous teeth as they devour their prey.

Finally the idea came together and Mike slowly raised his hips and left the tent.

"Good moon..."

Mike grinned furiously as he looked up at the full moon with his face out of the cloud slice.

Yes, the red-stained moon as if to imply an upcoming battle...
