433 431 Werewolf smoke in counterattack (2/2)
”An awesome swordsman not afraid of death, with the ability to defeat magic...... It means a legion of swordsmen will be opponents.”
These are Fran, Corbert, Frederick, Count, and a few surviving soldiers. More would be dozens of knights at best.
But the ability of a pseudo-fanatical sword is too troublesome. Skills and witchcraft are wiped out, and they're used as they please. It is reckless no matter what you think.
It was also likely that pseudo-mad swords had something to do with the fact that so many secret detectives had been captured so far. Weren't you sealed without knowing your skills and sealed off secrets and blockades of signs? Thinking about it, sneaking in and rescuing it could also be difficult.
”Damn. What the hell is this sword!
”It's a pseudo-fanatical sword”
”Princess Black Thunder! You know that?
”I just appraised it. But I only know his name.”
”Do you have an appraisal... pseudo- like what?
”pseudo-fanatical sword”
”By fanatical sword, do you mean fake?
”Mm-hmm. The fanatical sword is about a divine sword that was destroyed a long time ago. Fantasy Sword Fanatics”
We don't know much about it either, but we decided to ask an acquaintance and teach everyone that ability that Alistair taught us before. Gradually a startling look appeared on everyone's face.
It just seemed more wary of the fact that there was a possibility of a dead copy of the Divine Sword than of its ability.
”A pseudo-divine sword, then... Ashtoner is that far...”
”Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.”
”What if there's a real divine sword over there?
Speaking of a divine sword, a superweapon spoken of in myth. That may be in the hands of the enemy. Their sad expressions are understandable, too.
I'm glad they don't tell me you trust Fran completely or that word is a lie, but you've lowered your mind.
”From what I've heard, the Fanatics should have been destroyed”
”Is it possible, then, that we have only obtained the method of fabrication of fanatics…”
”Though, it's just a pain in the ass to have that sword in bulk!
Shortly after Colbert raised his voice in regret. There were signs of coming into this mansion. That said, I don't feel hostile. I wasn't even trying to erase the signs in the first place.
”And excuse me! So, is anyone there!
”This is terrible...”
”Who!
When the Earl of Baileys raises whoever or what voice, the men begin to name their affiliation. It was a soldier on patrol. It is the knight who leads them. Speaking of which, with all this noise in the aristocratic city, you were late to come.
But when I heard the story, they said the raid didn't stay in this mansion alone. At the same time as this mansion, several mansions and private houses were attacked and considerable damage was said to have been done. Stuffing in this neighborhood was also attacked, he said.
He didn't take over well because of the death of a commander who would wrap up this area of soldiers, and a soldier has finally been dispatched by a new commander.
The Earl of Baileys had spoken of the attacks and so on, and had asked for personnel to be dispatched to treat the injured and so forth.
When the soldiers leave in a hurry, they look rugged. Hearing about the other places being raided, I thought you were worried about the magnitude of the matter, but that wasn't all.
”... it appears that those who were secretly preparing to force an investigation into Count Olmes' separate residence have been raided”
Oh, my God, they say the attacked mansions and private houses were prepared hideouts for the Count of Baileys. I guess that means not just the information on this mansion, but all the information was leaked.
”... we need to confirm the damage. But you're definitely underpowered.”
Frederick questions the dark voice of Count Baileys.
”So you say they'll be watching you until you're ready for battle?
”I didn't say that. Don't let the rebels who possess all that power go. Our country's prestige will be greatly hurt if it is also rebelled within the King's City. No, you can say rebellion already. Any more Marquis outbursts must be prevented. Even if it's a little unscrupulous.”
The Earl of Baileys, who said so, arrows his surviving subordinates to give early instructions.
”I'm heading to the royal castle. Seems pretty confusing. It will be necessary to provide an explanation of the situation. You should be able to use the help of the other Knights. Frederick, you contact the Ormes Mansion inspection team! Rescue survivors and tell those who can fight to finish their preparations in two hours! Tell him I'll let him take his people's revenge. That should excite you!
Copy that, sir.
”Afterwards, I entrust the command of the covert forces. Match the battle on the surface, break in. Permit manoeuvres to the Marquis of Ashtoner, not just the residence of the Earl of Olmes”
”Ha!”
”The fact that you went out of your way to grab Bermelia won't mean you're going to kill him any time soon. Now, enjoy it.”
”... Yes”
That's how I finish giving all the instructions, and then I turn to Fran and Corberto at the end.
”Corberto, Princess Black Thunder, I'd like you two to connect to the Adventurer Alliance.”
”Connection?”
”Oh, I want Lord Eliante to ask me to dispatch his forces. Regardless, it is not an attempt to sequester. Hire them properly.”
”I see. You mean make up for your strength with adventurers!
”Mm-hmm. Anyone who's an adventurer who's going to be a force of war doesn't mind. No cap either. The request fee shall be double the market price. Explain clearly, however, that this is a dangerous mission. Don't be afraid to get noticed on the way.”
Double the price. You're fat. Corberto is impressed, too. Using Adventurers can also lead to information leakage, but now I guess that means giving priority to replenishing your battle power.
”What would you do without a cap if you were to hire hundreds of people?
”We have as much work to do, and the more power we have, the more advantageous this is. For that matter, it's cheaper if you think you're gonna be able to rescue your daughter safely.”
”Hehe. Really?”
”The operation starts in three hours. I'll leave all the negotiations to you.”
”Okay. Let's go to the guild!
”Mmm!”
”So far we've gone completely backwards, but now it's our turn to fight back!
