Vol 12 Chapter 229 (1/2)

Warp

The ht The location was the forest near Cartaffs’ castle gate

Time-wise, we aimed for around three to four, and carried out the plan

“I’ll be off for a bit”

Wearing the Cartaffs’ soldier equipment Rauno-san had prepared over hts, soldiers and party ate

The misappropriated equipment was dented, with some parts of it ripped

Maksim-san looked worried, but Damien waved his hand

“Will you really be alright? I don’t thinkalone…”

“Won’t he be fine? I ht?”

‘That’ was the letter I held in my hands

Rauno-san had forged a decree for me Its form was in order, even from the eyes of the ancestors, and it ell made to an extent you could even call it unnatural

I tried asking where he’d gotten such a thing, but he didn’t answer Probably meant he couldn’t tell me

But even that Rauno-san earing his equipment, as he mixed in with the hidden forces

“I just have to have them let ate open once I’m in It seems in Larc’s case, he had a woman on the inside make the paperwork, and he had actual official docuh”

When he asked for an audience, he was denied, so he charradually expanded his influence to infiltrate under the guise of official paperwork

Are you really okay with that, Cartaffs? Or so I thought, but it would take ti as they were approved, carrying them out was the Cartaffs way

Sugarcoat it, and it was diligence, dip it in venom, and you could say it was a e reason Cartaffs was able to torence You could have people overdo it a bit, ‘because it war orders,’ and they would put it to practice

These guys are strange in the head

With the Skills… Dirasp of the surrounding terrain, and details exceeding what I could get form Spec flooded my head

Where the soldiers were, and what direction they were looking…

Processing such information, I proceeded to the rampart that had become a blind spoke And once I reached it, I used the Seventh’s Skill

Fro voice

『Right, like that, I often infiltrated the forts Froate Even if they’re strong from attack on the outside, it’s quite often they’re not so fortified within In the cases where even that won’t break theht touches』

Placing bombs all over the fort, it seems he destroyed their equipment and facilities all over In the panic, he would leisurely make his exit from the castle or fort, and assault it in its chaos, it seems

But the easiest ate, and let your co to him

It was soly unaware of It was the first I ever heard the Seventh was a bomber

Frouns, he had quite a few routes to acquire gunpowder, apparently

“Hmm… 【Warp】”

Looking at the raue hit ed in an instant

I instantly hidsoldiers as I searched out the co officer

“… There”

I didn’t use any weapons I raced over to theofficer-ish person in a bit of a haste

“Captain! I-it’s terrible!”

I feigned panic and a shortness of breath And it was true the Skill had worn me out If I used that warp consecutively, then tould be the li some rest inbetween, in battle, perhaps three to five? Anyways, it was exhausting

That state atched over by Milleia0san in the Jewel

『Lyle, that acting was a little lacking You have to at least look a little paler Hu if they set their minds to it, you know』

As I took that criticism, the somewhat suspicious captain spoke to me

“You’re not from my platoon, are you? Just where did you come f…”

“It’s intruders! An intruder has infiltrated the castle”

My beat-up form And on the inforht that information over my identity

“What is theof this!? To permit the entry of some bandit, this Cartaffs Castle is…”

Milleia-san giggled

『Oh no~ It happens to the best of castles, you see Even so, after Larc infiltrated in front of everyone, that reaction is strange』

And thetheir existences from the forest

The area around the gate instantly grew noisy

“Captain, there are at least a thousand armed men outside!”

Hearing that, the leader chose to follow through just as he had been trained

“Calm down! Rouse those asleep at once! Everyone else to your stationsAnd you over there!”

“Yes!”

Pointed at, I replied

“Get back to your own platoon at once, and await order! Did you tell the?”

I instantly spoke of the intruder I had prepared

“His hair and clothing were masked, so details are uncertain Bue the intruder’s upper as a tank top, and he had a large sword over his back! Driving hiht it best to inforive chase”

It seeined that description to be a bandit Hearing he had a large sword to infiltrate, he muttered that it was impossible

“You have made no mistake If you were killed, ould never have noticed the intruder I Return at once To your station! Just as we’ve practiced!”

In regards to what they practiced, they did seem used to their movements, and they swiftly took to their stations They did seem nervous, but their movements alone were quite decent

The Fifth looked over such soldiers of Cartaffs

『… They’re an opponent that would give troubles in group warfare Without any distractions, they move just as they’re trained They’re inflexible, but I can see why the northern lords had so much trouble』

I was able to see the surprisingly proficient side of Cartaffs, granted, they did overlook the infiltrator In me

“Now then, I should getas well”

Racing through the chaotic castle halls, I aieons

Damien and the rest had fastened torches to wooden poles

In order to hts and soldiers up front, with nothing but torches in the back

Thinking that it would at least er than they were

“Now then, time’s the problem It’s a fortress city, so played poorly, they could instantly gather soldiers fro at the nuo out or not, it will be troubleso around”

If they knew there were only five hundred, they would leave the castle to subjugate them But if they saw more than that, then from the number of soldiers stationed in the castle, they’ll bide their time, Rauno explained

Daertips His lenses caught the light as Maksim put his spear over his shoulder, and looked around

“That’s a lot, co from such a simple fortress”

Sticking wheels on a board that couldn’t even be called a golem, Damien had prepared a hastily-made fortress to control

Its gaps were reinforced, and its make was one that could withstand just a bit

“It’s Lyle’s plan Ifover, we can only endre But you think it’s going well?”

Lyle had gone in, and put out information of an intruder to confuse them even further Because by that, he detero to the Queen

If they knew of an intruder, then the one Larc was to protect at present would be the Queen He could get his hands on treasures afterwards, but for the status he wanted, the Queen was essential

Rauno made a fed-up expression

“With a face like that, the things he thinks up sure are dirty Having the intruder spread info on the intruder, there’s so for the Queen… it’s true that makes the probability for his escape low, but if the enee problem”

Erhart, listening to that talk nearby, shook his head

“… He was the type to do soht more stylishly, wasn’t he?”

Erhart’s other comrades nodded to that But to them, Damien spoke

“What are you talking about? It’s Lyle, right? There’s no way that Lyle would put up a square fight Right around now, I’ false inforuy to smile as he does all that”

Maksim also nodded as he appraised Lyle

“It’s true, he’s only Lyle-dono when he goes that far Well, how about we just stay on standby over here? The real battle should come a little later”

Erhart cradled his head over whatto happen…

With the decree in hand, I headed for the dungeon, and showed it to the soldiers stationed in the passage
