Finally we arrived in Garrot.
When I saw it before, I could only see the big wall from afar, but this time I can see the gate.
The castle gate seems to have the role of a barrier, and many human and Sub-human are waiting in line for the procedure to enter the country.
There seemed to be big carriages and carts carrying monsters, apparently mixed with merchants and adventurers.
The soldiers of Garrot, who looked tattered, returned with such a dark atmosphere.
The people in line seem to be very surprised and discuss something.
Perhaps all the people know that they have sent troops to the rumored castle of hostile forces.
However, the soldiers who returned are tattered and apparently exhausted.
No soldier looks happy.
No one would think that the soldiers had won because of their appearance.
The soldiers watching at the gate are also surprised.
However, perhaps to complete his duties, he kept his dignified expression and let the soldiers into the castle.
By the way, Tenda and Uchikage cover their heads with a hood to hide their horns.
It's a bad idea to let some oni that is currently hostile to their country.
"... Thank you for your hard work. Asure-sama. At least you are safe and all."
Before Asure's troops passed through the gate, a guard on duty spoke to him.
Though the surrounding can hear what they said, the civilian shouldn't do that without the permission of the royal family.
No one listened deeply to what happened with the current situation and the battle.
"... First, command the rest of the soldiers to go home. I have to go back to the castle and report to the king."
"Affirmative."
The soldier executed the command with haste.
Tenda were able to infiltrate without being noticed by the guards.
I don't think Uchikage need to do the same thing as Tenda ...
After passing through the castle gate and crossing a large bridge, there was a city of pure Western-style architecture.
There are many houses made of stone and wood that are often found in the West.
And the bridge is an arched stone bridge using Western construction methods.
The stones are carved into a trapezoidal shape to change the size, and the weight of the stone bridge is dispersed by connecting several stones.
I don't know how to make it, but I think that the building technology of this country is quite advanced just by looking at it.
{If you can read this, that means you are reading on light mode or in aggregator site that shamelessly stealing from restless-oneesan.blogspot.com}
There were many other stores, and there were various stores such as blacksmiths, armor shops, and potion shops.
I'd like to see all the shops, but ... I'm not in a situation where I can do that.
I need to be patient this time.
And the most noticeable thing is, the castle is too big and the mine too.
Anyway, it's huge ... I don't really understand why the mountains and castles are so big.
The mountains and the castle are quite far apart.
As expected, I wouldn't build a castle near the mine.
But even though the mountain just to be used as a mine is ... what a shame.
The castle is decorated in bright colors.
The roof has a pointed or rounded edges.
As far as I can see from a distance, there is nothing strange about this country.
But this is the first time I've seen a real Western castle.
My tension goes up insanely.
I know that the mountain is a mine, but ... I don't know what's going on near it.
Perhaps there is a railroad track and I think that the ore is carried on the minecart.
Oh, there is an izakaya. (*Snack bar)
Oh! There is also a church!
Wow! Accessories and armor are really cool! Oh! Awesome!
Hmm ...! There is an adventurer guild ...!
I don't really know if it's the adventurer guild or not because I can't read the text! That's just my feeling telling me it is that.
Oh ... it's huge ...
Whoaaaa ... look at that- ah! I'm too excited ,am I ?!
"... Ouren-sama. I know you are excited to come to this country for the first time, but can you be a bit quieter ... we are in the middle of an operation now."
My bad..
It's not like I'm happy that I'm able to come to this country, okay?.
Well, maybe I'll have another chance to see it again.
This time ... patience ... patience ...
Dang it …….
The soldiers will return to the castle and receive rewards, so it will surely catch everyone's eyes.
The voice of anxiety may grow, but that is one of Asure's plans.
The operation starts since we are inside the country.
I feel a bit bad for them, but I'm looking forward to this.
Unfortunately, we can't directly have an audience with the king.
Well, we can't get rid of him suddenly, so it can't be helped ...
It's a pity that I can't see Asure for a while.
I'm a bit curious, how is he gonna make the king get all the blame ...
The first step is to ensure the safety of the families of the vassals, including Asure's.
As expected, he doesn't have any choice but to talk about this battle in detail and ask for forgiveness from the king.
{If you can read this, that means you are reading on light mode or in aggregator site that shamelessly stealing from restless-oneesan.blogspot.com}
No ... In fact, safety may have already been secured.
For the time being, he is taking the appearance that he has been fighting properly.
Even so, if 'they' do something like threatening the family of the vassals because he lost the battle, he will get disdained by the other vassals.
The next time he gets involved in another problem, he should only involve himself.
What Asure does this time is really just a report.
That alone should guarantee the safety of his vassals.
For the time being, let's leave that to Asure.
We are supposed to stay in the mansion of Gilnia, one of Asure's vassals.
For the time being, we should do nothing, so they want me to be quiet ...
I can't do that.
I suppose I will go to look for Satella using a golem even at night.
We separated with Asure and arrived at Gilnia's mansion.
It was more like a villa than a mansion, and it wasn't built in the aristocratic district.
I heard that this is a commercial area owned by Gilnia's house, and it is the house used as his base.
It looks obviously more luxurious than a nearby house, but its appearance is designed to blend in with its surroundings.
The person who thought about the design of this has a great sense.
I also want that kind of sense to blend with my surroundings.
"It's my humble house."
Gilnia says so and invites us into his house, but I think it's a really big house.
It's a Western-style building.
Let's just say he is a nobleman ...
When I entered, a young person who looked like a butler and a maid welcomed me.
I feel like I've never seen such a solid butler and maid.
I've never seen this in a maid cafe.
"Welcome back, Gilnia-sama. Please take a rest today. ... the guests and-..... that snakes …"
"Ah ... that's right. I should have said this to you. First of all, these people ... the onis of the Zenki-village."
""Huh!?""
Well, of course they were surprised..
The oni who are their enemies was brought by their lord, Gilnia.
This would be a normal reaction.
Tenda and Uchikage take the cloth on their heads and show them evidence of being a demon.
After that, I greeted them.
"I'm Tenda, one of the onis in the Zenki-village."
"Similarly, I'm a Uchikage. And this white snake is the white snake-sama. Don't think it's just a regular snake because it does understand people's words. Please be careful about what you say."
What?
Are you angry that the butler said "that snake"?
His pressure is a little threatening.
It was the butler and the maid who were pushed a little by his pressure.
I think they are people who have nothing to do with fighting.
They haven't been used to this kind of pressure.
As expected, I should stop him.
Hit Uchikage's head lightly.
It's a little annoying that I can't retort his words, but he'll understand what I mean.
Stop it.
"Hahaha. Sorry about that ... Alright, you guys. I have a job I want you to do from now on."
"Yes! What should we do?"
"I want you to spread a little rumor."
"Rumor ...?"
This was his first job when he came back here.
Get a rumor to flow.
This has been notified to all soldiers, and everyone should be doing it.
And I'm sure they have done the same thing since they arrived at their house.
Gilnia tells the butler and the maid the rumors he wants to be spreaded.
But the rumor is like the results of this battle, and it doesn't sound like a rumor.
The butler and the maid tilted their heads a little.
{If you can read this, that means you are reading on light mode or in aggregator site that shamelessly stealing from restless-oneesan.blogspot.com}
There are two rumors to be spread.
The first is that "the onis of the Zenki-village were strong without getting help by the other countries."
This is a fact and a lie.
Certainly, if you fight only in close quarters, you will definitely lose.
The soldiers should be fully aware of that in the mock combat.
However, it is only in close combat.
The story will change again if magic can be used.
Since Raiki is in command, I don't know what will happen if they actually fight.
And the other is, "If the oni attack Garrot, they will definitely lose."
This is a complete lie.
First of all, Zenki-village cannot afford to split its strength other than defense.
Raiki may be able in the fort battle but I'm not sure if he can do anything in an offensive battle.
"Use these two information as the rumor."
"... Um ... Gilnia-sama. What will happen if we let the rumors flow? I think it will only deepen the anxiety of the people. ...... "
"That's the purpose."
"Huh ..."
Now that there is a castle that is said to be a threat to this country, the people's anxiety is the most if the soldiers rout and such a story spreads as if to chase them. It will rise to high tide.
But the real purpose of this operation is not to fuel public anxiety.
No one would think of going to battle again when the soldiers who were sent out were routed.
However, there are people who are in trouble with that.
It's the slave traders.
In the first place, the slave traders were trying to start a war and secure slaves at once.
However, the result was a rout even though they finally managed to reach the war.
No slaves could be secured, and the soldiers weren't even willing to go to battle.
In this situation, there will be no war for a while, and it will be difficult to secure slaves.
That would be a problem for slave traders.
Even though they worked so hard, they wouldn't have thought that it would be a par in just one battle.
So slave traders will try to get rid of this rumor.
Did they do something to encourage the soldiers, or stay to hunt slaves steadily?
I don't know what will happen.
There is no doubt that the mastermind this time is a slave trader.
You can't hide the fact that you're hunting slaves to seize the throne.
We need to beat them from the root.
However, I do not know how the slave traders will take measures.
However, if the slave trader cannot be caught in a week, this operation will fail ....
Apparently it will interfere with the last operation that Asure will carry out.
I haven't been told what to do.
I just don't know because I was sleeping.
I left all the royal capital problems to Asure.
The job of the soldiers is to disseminate rumors and to arrest slave traders who are hunting slaves.
Fortunately, all 3,000 soldiers know this, so I think we can do something about it ...
However, the most difficult thing is Asure's vassals who were in charge of the command.
Because they get all the information from the soldiers and drive out the slave trader.
They're gonna organize a huge amount of information first.
Do your best.
{If you can read this, that means you are reading on light mode or in aggregator site that shamelessly stealing from restless-oneesan.blogspot.com}
"Het, what are you waiting for? Get on with it."
"... Eh !? We are going to do it now !?"
"Of course! Asure-sama has already started his fight! There is no way we let him fight alone! Get moving!"
"Yes sir!"
The butler and the maid start to move flutteringly.
After a while, a few soldiers came to give him detailed information about the current progress and the slave trader.
However, some of them run slave traders in a formal way, so it seemed difficult to make a distinction.
But there are 3,000 soldiers.
It was easy to actually go to the site to see it, so the problem seemed to be resolved immediately.
We are hiding in Gilnia's mansion.
It seems that we can't get rid of our existence yet.
Asure seems to be trying to use this chance for something, but let's let him do it.
It's going to be interesting.
It seems that Asure is loved by the people.
No one argued that he would take the throne to the soldiers as well as the vassals.
Well, I heard that it was Asure and Baltic who had done national affairs on behalf of the king.
It seems that somehow the royal family has a bad reputation, but it seems that the people recognize who is the one trying to improve this country.
Well, the king and his brother are like that.
It may be that Asure looks outstanding because the ugliness of these two is conspicuous.
The soldiers and Asure's vassals are doing their best.
Alright. Let's say I'll do my best too.
First is the evolution!
