Mike who was doing doc.u.ment work in his own tent felt a faint disturbance.

With how the situation was , it was normal for him to be wary of a.s.sa.s.sination, but the place he was currently presiding was the base camp where many allied soldiers also located.

Furthermore, as a senior officer, he was being protected by the Igclan shadows hidden in the darkness.

a.s.sa.s.sins who could break through this kind of defensive line could be counted on one hand.

And it would be very unlikely for people to hire a.s.sa.s.sins aiming at Mike’s life who was just an aide. If they could hire those kinds of people, they should’ve aimed at Mikos.h.i.+ba Ryouma life instead.

Which left him with one answer.

“Is there something you need?”

Without moving his line of sight from the doc.u.ment he was working on, he asked a question. –

Following his question, one man kneeled in front of Mike.

“Pardon me for disturbing you this late. Young Master is calling…”

“Young master? I see, did he received  contact from EPiroz?”

Mike responded to the messenger calmly.

At first, he was always panicked when the messengers came, but over time, he got used to it.

“Yes. After master received the news from the chief, he requested for me to call Mike-dono.

“I see, which mean, the news from Jinouchi-dono is  good.”

The shadow responded to Mike’s remark with silence.

It was extremely rare for these kinds of people to talk more than necessary.

Of course, they didn’t abandon human feelings such emotions and desires, it was just they rarely showed them during a mission.

“Did young master said anything else?”

“No. I was only told to call Mike-dono.”

“I see… Alright. Good work.”

After responding to Mike’s word with a small nod, the shadow figure once again melted into the darkness.

“Fuh… I guess everything has gone according to young master’s expectation eh? The problem is after this…”

After quickly putting away the doc.u.ments on his desk, he sat down deeply in his chair and gazed toward the ceiling.

Mike was  deep in thought while gazing into nothing.

Usually, since he was being called by his lord, he should’ve gone as soon as possible.

But, compared to other lords, the one Mike was currently serving had unique characteristics.

‘Have anything in mind? Is there any problem? How does it work? Is there any risk? What is the merit?’

Ryouma’s way of seeking opinions from others after considering various factors would never allow Mike to think that he was just being called for nothing.

(How should we move now? Epiroz movement was just like young master had expected. If we keep on  the offensive with Jinnouchi’s cooperation, we could win… But, the damage on our side would be bigger…)

It was true that getting a victory in this war was Ryouma’s ultimate goal, but the way to win the war was also important.

At the very least, Ryouma didn’t want to waste troops by forcing into Epiroz if he could win another way.
