The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 251: Rescue Operations

- That's why.

I explained the situation to Tileto, who came late.

The ladies of the king's sword, who came at the same time, are searching the house while they explain.

"If that's what the Regent thought, let's go with that policy."

Tileto said.

For some reason, this guy seems to be tight on calling me in roles about me.

"Either way, foreign work is the most urgent. They're gonna take me home, so if I don't take it back now, it's gonna be the same as dead. If it were any other case, it would likely be possible to get it back, no matter what you see."

It's not even on the edge.

"It's just... I think the Regents know, but in these circumstances, assumptions are dangerous. If there was a pitfall lurking in the reasoning, everything would be ruined. Think of the unexpected, leave about four people here to look for evidence and let them investigate independently."

"That's fine. Do that."

Sure, it's just a reasoning that the enemy nation is mistaken.

Speaking of mistakes, there is no zero chance that the witch family is spectacularly mistaken for something and that Mr. Lily is pregnant with my child or anything like that.

As Tireto put it, human thought is accompanied by pitfalls.

But I wish I had proof, but I can't help it because it doesn't exist as it stands.

"Where do you think enemies would break in if they were on missions like that?"

"It's the sea."

Tyreto responded instantly.

"If you're just coming, if you move at night and rest at noon... well, maybe it's not impossible to come from land either. But returning from land with non-cooperative hostages is just near impossible"

Klu people are not supposed to be able to travel freely within the peninsula.

I need a special permit.

If you are a special person like Dr. Etha, you will get such a permit out immediately, and of course if you have a Shan escort and are suspicious, I will explain it, so you are not inconvenient to travel, but that is not the case with regular Klu people.

For example, a newly incorporated Klan east of the peninsula will enter the peninsula with that permit, which is nearly impossible without such circumstances as having so many special skills and needing cooperation.

In other words, for them, the eyes of others become the primary enemies. Tyreto is right, it would be impossible to come from land.

Then there is only the sea.

Of course, the sea can't sail large ships because eagles with incendiary shells are watching, but if it's about a fishing boat, it won't be that hard to come.

Eagles on surveillance fly in pairs as a rule. And incendiary rounds are heavy, so you can only pile one shot at a time. Smaller targets will sometimes take off two shots in a row, and even if incendiary bombs are hit in the first place, it doesn't mean they blow up every ship, so they can't bomb every passenger in an instant. If you are sailing on a coastal voyage, you can jump into the sea and swim to land if you are a master swimmer.

"So you're saying it's down the river by now? If we don't hurry, we won't make it."

I get annoyed by the unexpected haste.

"Calm down, Regent. Down the river in Sibyak is not something an amateur can do. Especially at night, unless it's a full moon, it's hard to be a skilled sailor."

... I forgot.

Under the river from Sibyak to the sea are scattered islands large and small, some of which are like coves with no way out.

Only one of them is normally used to escape to the north, and ships from the south make a slight detour to use its sea lanes. The islands all look the same, so they are prone to stray, and because through scattered areas there is a good chance of a shoreline.

"I guess it's the first time they've come over here. I might commit that suicide."

"Give it up then. In this situation, I can't help you ten percent."

Tileto said clarity.

"... right"

I get irritated by my impudence, but I had to accept what Tyreto was saying because it was true.

If the enemy imitates foolishly on his own, sits on a reef nowhere in the sea, and is self-determination on his own, there is certainly nothing we can do about it.

"I see a good chance of going all the way to Ellein to tell the land story and getting on the boat from there"

El-in is a port town famous for its large lighthouses, which exist at the exit of the sea lane that connects Sibyak to the sea.

The road from Shibjak to the sea, though loose, has a stream of water. For the most part, the sailboat is sailed and the thrust it receives is greater, so I can trace it back, but I can't do that when there's just the other way around.

In that case, the ship is retained in El-in and waiting for the wind direction to change. In some cases, the road along the sea lane is used to tow the horse while taking the rudder and carry him upstream.

Ellein is a town with those features. From there, loads may be unloaded and transported by road to Sibyak, or people may get off and move around, so a wide street leads directly to Sibyak.

It doesn't take a day or two to get around. Traveling at night won't be as difficult as it seems, except for the possibility of accidents on the road.

"Hostages stand out on horses...... they'll procure carriages. Then, about six hours before we arrive. Arrive by dawn and sail out of there..."

Tileto said.

The possibility of staying in Sibyak until morning and going down the river... is almost unthinkable.

Even though lurking in Sibyak carries dangers, and murder is the primary goal, it is still normal for abductions to want to achieve it. It's a big enough achievement, so we'll do our best to achieve it.

"Then don't make it enough if you use eagles to leave now. The question is, how do we find it?"

"I have no choice but to fly to Ellein and look around right now."

And Tileto said. Go on,

"The trouble is more of a way to rescue them. From the Regent's point of view, I guess it's not the same as a life-saving robber taking hostages. Besides, given the nature of the mission, the opponent is an elite among the elites. If it's about ten hours of operation, you won't sleep, and you can assume that you won't be alarmed for a while."

I guess that is.

Hmmm......

"I think the Regents know, but it's hard for them to get close and kill everyone in a flash without even us finding them. We can't guarantee a rescue if they're gonna kill us while we're in a one-in-one or two-in-two meeting."

"Aren't you going to paint a blow arrow or something like poison to lose your mind in an instant and knock it down?

"... there can't be something that's convenient like that," Tileto said as if he was frightened. "What poison does it use make me feel like I'm sick for ten seconds or so"

Then rescue really doesn't make it extremely difficult.

"If I asked you guys, how would I do it? Do you sneak around and kill them?"

"It would be nice to manage to capture them while they're on the move and blow up every carriage to such an extent that the occupants don't die. If we can't move because we're all badly injured in the first move, there's a slight possibility. You'll break Ms Lilly's legs and arms or so, but you can fix that later."

"... you can't. You'll die if you break your neck bone. Besides, not everyone will pass out conveniently."

Too low a success rate.

Given that there is no know-how to adjust the explosives on-the-spot to the size of the carriage, and there is no way to instantaneously flash them remotely in the first place, he says the success rate won't reach 10%.

Assuming that all the other operatives are resilient men, the most vulnerable would be Mr. Lily. Mr. Lily is not the easiest person to die for. I will not talk to you.

"Then you go ahead to Ellein and identify the ship. I'll think of the recapture."

"... okay?

"Before it's too late, go"

"Okay. and before that."

Tileto suddenly took his arm and took control as he approached Enrique, who stood poke-wise.

"I was there, it hurts, Mr. Tyreto. What is it?"

Enrique, tumbled down on the ground, gets his arms tied.

"You're leaving a message. I don't know what to do."

"Hey, can he use it to get information from people?"

Anyway, it's going to be a task like identifying an unrecognizable vessel that no fisherman has ever seen.

Enrique is going to help motivate a man with color.

"To observe, Ms Lilly is a very important person to you personally. If he dies, he'll remember his anger since His Highness Carol, and he won't be surprised if he moves on and tries to be his enemy."

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"It might..."

If you ask me, there's a good chance I'll flaunt you.

"But it's also true that it might help."

"You disagree. Sure, it'll help, but it's like a chunk of indeterminate elements. You should never take him."

Sure, that's not true.

Hmmm......

"Okay. Well, if Enrique ever betrays you, I won't do anything, so you find him responsibly. Just capture him, and then let him kill him with no grudges, no edge or itch. And then don't give me any reports."

"Ha!?

Enrique gave a petty voice.

This may be the first time I've heard this guy's surprise voice.

"- Oh, then I get it. Let's undertake."

Tileto rarely laughed with pleasure and pulled the rope to untie Enrique's restraint.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! That kind of guy doesn't have a hottie! Noriwaru!"

Enrique is genuinely booed while rubbing his tied arm.

Seems to have offended me considerably with my suggestion. You know what?

"I would have stuck with your play twice today. Happy with that, get to work. If you don't work for me, I don't know you anymore."

That's what I left you, Mr. Lily.
