Although they solidified the national border, rande in name only—they are unoccupied
The invasion so far, pri out also slowed down the speed at which news travel, has continued without much opposition from Vichy
And now, via these fortresses, sorande for Vichy
Hifumi, who observed this happen, rated
Yet their hesitation to leave their hoes is predictable: the roads are underdeveloped and their only means of substance coenerations to develop
The only who do travel are the seconds sons, the unemployed, and the wealthy
「Frankly, I thought you ht just decide to massacre everyone…」
Kasha said, while partaking with Hifumi the lunch the supply corps prepared
「Civilians are not the ene tens or even hundreds of soldiers is inefficient and boring Instead, it’s best to force those Vichy bastards to becothen their ranks with ht finally come at us for real」
「・・・If they do, wouldn’t we lose?」
Alyssa was there aa and Pajo have not returned froa has been intentionally avoiding Kasha since yesterday
「・・・Right, we ht lose」
「Huh・・・?」
Kasha froze mid-bite at Hifumi’s nonchalant declaration
「The soldiers here have only crae of infiltration and assassination Even if they had any worth as soldiers before, they would simply be overwhelmed numerically」
「But then, what should we do?」
「We’re fine as long as we don’t fight them head on We need to dictate the environroups Besides, we don’t really need to wait for our eneather their forces, and even if they do, we just need to have them scatter a bit」
But should there be a personthe the last piece of meat in his mouth
「But they teach soldiers never to consider defeat・・・」
Alyssa murmured, and Hifumi rebuked her,
「Don’t be a fool: how could you think of cutting so cut down?」
「Says a guy who could easily cut down hundreds」
「A hundred may not pose a probleht continuously for le slash out of fatigue, I will die No es」
That is why killing is just as fulfilling as living, Hifumi said
These words were imprinted in Kasha’s mind: even these monster of a human considered death
After lunch, Hifumi observed the border with Alyssa, and called out to threeto leave
「Yo, could you wait a minute?」
「O-oh my, Viscount-sama」
The first of the three burly men responded to Representative Hifumi
「You are spies from Vichy, aren’t you?」
「N-no, we are si merchants・・・」
Wiping the sweat frorabbed his hand and pointed to his palm
「Merchant’s don’t have hands like this Drop the obvious lies」
The smile on the man’s face disappeared, and his looked down, serious
「As expected of the Expeditionary Force General, I presume I applaud you I am indeed a spy deployed by Vichy’s Central Council」
While this man was already in Anarazel city when it was occupied by Orsongrande’s Expeditionary Force, he ay from the representative’s manor and thus avoided capture So he pretended to be a ht to join others on his return to Central
「Seems like I am fated to perish here These two men are indeed inabout my purpose I beseech you to have mercy」
「What are you doing talking to me like I’m some homicidal maniac? I didn’t stop you to kill you You’re headed to Central, so I wanted you to deliver so for me」
「A delivery, you said? Should I… Should I hand it to the Council?」
Once the spy noticed the document Hifumi took out, he iovernment
「Yeah, so after they get a grasp on what has happened here, I need the response to this letter… let’s say twenty days from now」
Since it takes seven days to reach Central froave them plenty of time
「・・・Understood I have matters to report to Central, so this shall be no problem」
「Your name?」
「Vinu, your grace」
「Now then, Vinu, these docuet killed by a 」
「Understood I shall deliver the letter without fail」
Vinu bowed, reverently accepted the letter, and set off towards Vichy
「Hifumi-san, what’s in that letter?」
Alyssa, who up until quietly observed, asked out of curiosity
「・・・Right… well, I guess it’s fine」
Hifue even if she were to kno
「So you know there’s thisfor—Beirevra? Apparently he’s one of Vichy Council’s spies Rather than having to run around all of Vichy looking for him, it’s a demand to have him extradited」
Hifu that this docunature on it Now, Vichy could simply blame Beirevra as the cause of his war, or respond in silence and face condemnation as a country that harbors cri pressured
「So their choice is either to sacrifice Beirevra to appease Orsongrande or atteht」
「So e do for now?」
The ansas not due for another twenty days, so they had lots of time Hifumi decided to take that time to carefully tour his dominion
「Reinforcerande soon I’ll leave the occupied territory to theo see my land」
「Should I co?」
「Do as you wish」
