The military has entered the Duke of Townsend territory. I marched relentlessly through the ranks of the enemy. It's because there were no enemies in front of us.

That's why the scouts were floating, but they only reported that there were no hostiles near the returning tribe.

Erisa came up next to me on a horse, wondering if it was weird.

“Commander, I believe this is an enemy decoy strategy to draw our troops deeper." We have to watch out for ambushes, so we'd better slow down the march. ”

I shook my head. There was absolutely no possibility of a decoy strategy, but there was no need to be cautious of ambushes. If there's an ambush, I can sense it.

If there's one good thing about being a mind master, it's that you can feel the Mana effect happening in a large area, but the human body also causes Mana. If the entire ambushing Townsend army couldn't use assassin technology like me, I couldn't escape my senses.

“We keep the scouts on the air, and there's no place for an ambush around here. It goes on and on. ”

“But · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Then Zack, who was next to me, smilingly said.

“My lord, don't worry too much. This area is a vast agricultural platform, and ambush itself is difficult to cultivate because of its short seeds. The only place to watch out is on the Mennessee River, which is coming up. There's an endless expanse of tall reed fields nearby, so it's a good ambush. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Perhaps Grand Duke Jan is marching quickly now with that in mind. There will be a lot of delays in the march along the Menesh River, so you must be trying to buy yourself some time. ”

It was a bird that defended me on its own. A while ago, the oiled product was working properly.

And according to the dictator, our troops had to wait a while on the Menes River. The Duke of Townsend could have built a defensive battle on the river and severed the bridge to stop our advance.

At that time, more than 10 horses appeared from afar. Seeing that the car carries the family flag, it was like a scout for our army. As soon as they approached me, they posted a report with Hippo.

“We don't see any Townsend troops on the Mennessee River. ”

“Really? Are you sure? ”

“Yes, but I saw signs of a struggle on the bridge. ”

“Engage?”

“Yes.”

“How many bodies were there? ”

“It was cleaned out. ”

“What about the damage to the bridge? ”

“I'm fine.”

Zack looked at me.

“That's suspicious. What the hell is going on? ”

I glanced at Erisa.

“My dear Uncle must be working hard on something. ”

“You mean the Starfleet? ”

“It's practical. Anyway, it made us feel comfortable. ”

Bird of the eject gives you an unwelcome face.

“But that's too much. ”

“What?”

“Even though it's a secret unit, you have to give us a word of advice when we work together." ”

“Well, I suppose you have some advanced weapons you'd like to hide. ”

“But you still have to tell me the details of the operation. It feels like a barley sack, so I don't feel good about it. ”

“Well, that must mean something to you. All right, let's keep moving. ”

Soon after, we were able to reach the bridge of the Menesh River.

As the scouts said, there were signs of war across the bridge. I saw countless bloodstains, and I saw traces of something sharp all over the bridge.

But there was also a peculiar trace. The traces were spreading in all directions, accompanied by severe scratches and abrupt dirt. Typical signs of an explosion.

"Hmm? Do they also have explosive magic grenade launchers? ’

The explosive magical grenade launcher was recently developed by Kara on my orders.

However, the blast radius is too wide for an explosive magical grenade launcher. It is at least five to six times larger than Kara's. This requires a class of 5 explosive magic, which reduces the efficiency too much.

An oval metal mass was found and brought to me by the Bird of the Object while we were exploding together.

“Grand Duke Jan. What the hell is this stuff? ”

“I don't know.”

The chunk of metal seems to have been ravaged by the effects of the explosion. As I looked inside, I could find a magic shape that was intricately painted with copper wire.

I don't know the concept, but it's definitely a new weapon. An explosive magical grenade launcher doesn't need this kind of metal to launch fireball magic.

"Isn't the only force given to Kronos by the non-combat? ’

Somehow, this old man told me a simple story about the non-combat. Since Kronos gave us more than a handful of powers, it was not a problem for us to expose the nonmilitary forces.

I've stuffed this metal well into the subspace pocket.

“Let's look for more, we don't know. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

I mobilized soldiers to scour the area. You can't miss a single piece of this item with Chronos' magical knowledge. We must absorb it and adopt it in the future.

Then I found dozens of more oval metal spheres. The majority were heavily damaged, but one was fortunately intact.

Thanks to this, I was able to get a rough idea of the structure of this metal tool. Inside, there was a one-unit piece of chaos, which seemed to cause something magical.

* * *

Ambitious night has come during the march. Whether you were a hostile camp or a long march, the Medicine Army fell asleep as soon as you built a barracks.

While I was in the barracks, I looked around. Aside from the sound of the guards breathing outside the barracks, the son-in-law is silent as if dead.

I changed into a soldier's outfit and went out.

When the guards saw me, they opened their eyes wide.

“Commander? How can you be dressed like that? ”

“Don't make a scene. I'm just sneaking out. ”

“Yes? A secret? ”

“We're going to see if the soldiers are on their guard. ”

“Then take an escort. No matter how friendly your faction may be, this place is less dangerous. Even if it's an assassin. ”

“When I lead the line, won't the guards act alert and alert? I'm not the one to go out and get beaten up and come in, so you can go alone. ”

“Oh, yeah. ”

I said as I left the barracks.

“Oh, and tell them to come in the morning, because when the chiefs come in, they'll go to bed. There's nothing good to know about a secret. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

As soon as I left the barracks, I left the camp, avoiding the guards. I flew out into the air and into Townsend Castle. It was a matter of finding out what Lutz 'secret unit was up to.

Where are you guys? ’

I broadened my senses and looked around. Soon after, I witnessed a suspicious scene. There were so many little lights floating in the sky far away. At first I thought it was just starlight, but then I realized it wasn't.

The light was rapidly flying towards Townsend Castle.

“Do you know if it's a non-combat? ”

They were fast. It was so fast that I could outrun myself by my ability to fly in the air. In my estimation, it seemed to be more than 400 kilometers per hour.

But it didn't matter. We have a pretty good idea where they're headed, so we just go that way.

‘Oops · · · · · · · · ·. ’

After a short while, I arrived in the wilderness, where I could see Townsend Castle swarming with anger. The blast continues inside the castle, and screams echo from all sides.

A brute force bombing was underway. As something seemingly unoccupied flies over Townsend Castle, the people on the ground die of a massive explosion involving soldiers and civilians.

The Duke of Townsend's soldiers resisted the gunfire, but it didn't mean much. They move so fast that they can't even aim for the camouflage.

In the end, the Ducal Army's artillery sack fell miserably, one by one, under bombing.

“I knew we weren't up to the challenge. ”

Nothing gets destroyed if you get hit by a shotgun cannonball, but if you fly around like an unmanned troop, you have no choice.

We won't even be able to aim through the heavy, extremely difficult wavelengths. From the point of view of the artillery, there was no other choice but to be hit by a blind cannonball.

I carefully approached and examined the non-combat.

‘Hmm. There's that kind of flying equipment. ’

The nonmilitary was not a man-riding flying machine like a floater. The knight in full body armor was carrying some kind of metal bag on his back. His hands and feet were free, so he could carry personal weapons such as a sword or a magic bomb launcher, and it was a personal piece of equipment that allowed him to make a sudden turn.

But there was one unfortunate sight. It was that everyone was using their body manna to control the flight. Which means you can't use that flying equipment without a Mana Prosecutor or Wizard.

“Hehe. If it could have been used by ordinary people, it would have been an artistic device. ”

It was still quite useful magic equipment. If you can swing your sword and fire a magical grenade launcher as fast as you can in the sky, any flying magic can be easily dealt with.

If I made a copy and distributed it to Mana Powers in Kara Kingdom, it would be very useful in the era of destruction.

‘Anyway, we'll have to catch one or two. You have to do something to copy it. ’

I made my way to the ramp near the castle, lit a big fire, and took out the fiery Magic Grenade launcher. They're faster than I can move in the air. It was better to lure them because they would never stop chasing them.

I have two nonair crews flying overhead, firing flares at random into the air.

I was furious, and the dodgers came back to see if they were pissed off.

A lump of metal that falls around me soon. It digs deep into the ground, then explodes into a massive explosion, blowing rubble and dirt everywhere. But I didn't see much damage. Hiding under a rapid slope was not very influenced by the explosion, and it was difficult to fit me with an explosive metal mass.

The crew changed their attack style and attacked with a Magic Shot launcher, but when they cut the flying Magic Shot with their yoke, it became a largely meaningless attack.

Eventually, they flew up and landed slowly next to the torch I had set on fire.

“This rascal. You dodged a bullet!”

The nonengineers drew their swords and walked boldly, even though I was aiming for the Magic Shot launcher. Mana Talents do not get hit by a Magical Shot.

“I'm sorry. I just have to live. ”

“What the hell!”

The noncombatants approached me with fury. A nonengineer swung his sword at me without hesitation. Soon, however, he blushed his eyes and broke his body.

My lumbar pole, drawn like a lightning bolt, was pierced through my neck.

The rest of the frightened noncombatants rush to flee, but they are caught in my hands and thrown to the ground.

I pulled the bloody urethra out of the corpse and aimed it at the neck of a captive noncombatant.

“Son of a bitch. You're wearing something really weird. ”

“Who are you? ”

“You don't need to know that. How many of you are there? ”

I shouted so loudly that the helmet worn by the nonengineers in my interrogation shook.

“Do you want me to tell you the castle? I am the aerialist of the great Lupette Kingdom! ”

“Really? Let's just die, then. I don't have time to convince you. ”

As I take a glimpse of the illumination, the knight says urgently.

“130.”

I blew the knight's head clean off. I wipe my bloodstained face with my forearm and say in an annoying voice.

“Hold on where you're going with this guy. I'm furious.”

I stripped off the dead noncombatant's armor and metal bag and put it in the sub-space pocket.

Then I searched for a non-air force member to interrogate again. The noncombatants you just caught had no choice but to kill them all, so they needed another prisoner to gather information.

Soon another nonengineer caught him and knelt down under my lumbar cistern.

“Hey, who's your boss? ”

“Well, well, well. ”

“You shouldn't be so heavy, either. I've already killed two. Let's stop killing them now. ”

The nostril knight glances at the naked corpses of two of his colleagues and slowly opens his mouth.

“This is Grand Duchess Lutz, the third man. ”

As expected, these were Lutz's home base. I kept asking.

“What did you do before you became a nostril knight? ”

“I was a mercenary. ”

“And the others? ”

“Yes, there are mercenary Mana prosecutors like me, and there are free knights who have been terminated by the state troopers for wrongdoing. ”

In the end, it meant they weren't normal knights. I thought I'd be able to interrogate you. If they were mercenaries or freelance knights who were terminated, they were almost human horses.

“Okay, but where are your camps? ”

“It's a chain fortress. ”

“Chain Fortress? Where is it?”

“A mountain fortress in the northern part of Rufet Castle. ”

“Which mountain? ”

“Chain mountain. ”

“Really? Did you see any women there? She must be very pretty. ”

“Yes, many women. Samnam especially for us. ”

I hung up on him and shouted.

“Not her. The woman who taught you something, or brought you the equipment you were wearing. ”

“I've never seen such a woman. ”

Apparently, the tidebringer didn't know about the bacteria. I finished the interrogation by slashing the nostril knight without hesitation. All you need to do is harvest three pieces of equipment, locate the base and locate the personnel.

You can find information about the bacteria in the Grand Duke's bloodline.

I left and looked at Townsend Castle, which is still under attack.

‘Only 130 people are left with 30,000 Duke Townsend unattended.' Apparently it's a viable weapon. ’
