Arjanne kidnapped me and I was away from the mansion for several hours. The fact was cover by magic, but I was still afraid of being discovered.

So, after returning to the Marquis Strahl's mansion, I quietly and discreetly made my way to Schneizel's office.

I was worried that I might be noticed by an unfamiliar child walking down the corridor, but... apparently, the mansion doesn't have time to worry about such matters.

"Get out of the way!"

"Oh, excuse me."

 As I stumbled down the luxurious corridor, a servant with a large baggage came running from the other side. I quickly moved to the side just as we were about to run into each other.

He looked so busy that he didn't even have time to check to see with whom he met .

Since a few minutes ago, I have passed many servants moving around in a hurry like this.

 As I recall, a dinner party was scheduled to be held tonight with the intention of welcoming us.

 They are probably busy with the final arrangements.

---Well, I must say that the arrangements were not very well made at the very last minute on the day of the party.

 But I am thankful for the lack of time and effort. Thanks to the hustle and bustle of the house, I don't have to stand at attention as I sneak off to the next place.

 I arrived at Schneizel's room without any problems...

"What? Wait a minute. Is that for real?"

 I had told him everything without hiding the fact that Arjanne had gone to the trouble of covering it up for me.

 If I had just been kidnapped, I might have kept quiet about it, but she? He? I was not able to keep the information that Arjanne gave me alone.

The battlefield involving the Ulgor Evil cult will be beyond our expectations. There is no way we can go to war without taking countermeasures.

After receiving a full explanation, Schneizel stopped cleaning up the stack of papers and stared at me.

In his gaze was an intensity of murderous intent.

 Oh, I see.

He is even considering the possibility that I have fallen into Argiano's grip.

 What should I do? I can't prove that I'm not insane. What if I can't participate in the war at this point?

 I'm so worried...

"Nothing?"

 Suddenly, Schneizel relaxed. He seemed to have judged that I was perfectly safe.

"How can you tell?"

'Well, it's just a gut feeling. If you are really in danger, your instincts will kick in, so you should be fine."

"I'm glad to hear that."

I'm glad the kid is okay, but other than that, it's a mess. If the news is true, he can switch places with us at any time if he wants to.

"Yes, that's true. I'm not sure if this is my place to say this, but if that's the case, would you like to rearrange the chain of command?"

"Of course I'm going to do that. Damn it, what the hell are you trying to get in the middle of this important war?"

 That's right. If we lose here, Arcadia will lose a lot of territory.

The only blessing in disguise is that I have this man who will become the most powerful in the future.

"I can't wait for the return Marquis Strahl. We're moving now. Follow me, boy."

"Oh, and me, too?"

"Of course. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take your ten-man squad apart and reassemble it."

 Oh, wow. I'm afraid I can't help it.

If a really large scale war is going to break out, there will be no room for strongmen like Frankel, Hian's right-hand man, and Vasel, Schneizel's second-in-command, to play around.

'Fine, but what about me?"

"I don't want to risk loosing you, so my basic plan is to provide logistical support. I'm going to be in the back, and then I'm going to move in according to how the other side moves."

"I understand."

Schneizel was about to run out of the room without even having time to get dressed when he suddenly remembered that he had a small stone in his pocket and suddenly he spoke to it.

"Vasel. I have an urgent matter. I need you to get permission to use the communication stone in the house. If the agent is reluctant, give him my name and ask him to help you."

 Vasel's voice echoed from the stone, "Yes, sir.

" This is a communication stone, a magical tool that can send your voice far and wide through a special stone."

 With only one stone, communication is one-way, but by preparing a pair of communication stones, it is possible to communicate over long distances, as Schneizel and his colleagues are doing now.

This is just a trivia, but it is said that normal communication stones have a limited range of effectiveness and are limited to a few hundred meters at the most.

For communication over longer distances, such as across a city, a special communication stone is required.

 The "Dekhee communication stone in this house" mentioned by Schneizel must be exactly what he was talking about.

The fortress city of Ausstadt is the key to our national defense, so there must be a stone.

"As for the moves after this, boy, gather Frankel and the others and come to the conference room. Frankel will be the first to join us. I'll escort you there."

 The reason he goes out of his way to escort me is probably because he is wary of Arjano.

 Frankel is also quite strong, though not as strong as Schneizel. So working with him would be a safe bet.

"I understand."

Let's go. It's a race against time from here on out. We'll crush them with our full preparation, which will exceed their expectations.

"Yes, sir!"

 ---And so we began to make preparations for war, but the battlefield we faced later was a hell beyond even our expectations.

 Now I am not optimistic at all. I am raising the danger level of Argiano's existence as much as possible, and Schneizel is working in that way, too.

 But even so, it was not enough.

 The war for this land is going to be a bloody, all-out war that will be fought before us.

 At the same time ---.

 The kingdom of Mertor, which straddles the border of the Ausstadt region.

 A man was standing on top of a fortress, the keystone of the strategy against Auschtadt.

He was wearing such light clothing that it would chill the body

 The adjutant standing next to him complained modestly, but the man opened his big mouth and laughed it off.

The man opened his big mouth and laughed it off!
"What do you think I'm going to say? I'm cold? Rather, it's the opposite. My whole body is boiling, down to the last piece of pulp".

 The presence swells with laughter. The overwhelming atmosphere gives the illusion that the man is a giant...

 No, it is not an illusion. In fact, this man is huge.

 His second-in-command standing next to him is over 190 centimeters tall. He is one of the tallest warriors in the world, where physique is a major factor. The man's body was about three times larger than that of his deputy.

 And his body is not just big.

 The man's muscles throughout his body were so well developed that they seemed bizarre, and it was clear that he possessed even more destructive power than he appeared to have.

 He is truly a Titan.

His body, which was blessed beyond compare as a warrior, was covered with scars, evidence of the countless battlefield battles he had fought.

"Schneizel, I see. He is indeed strong. Even here, the air is shaking."

 The man stared at the fortress city of Ausstadt in the distance with a ferocious smile on his face. Even though he senses Schneizel's strength, the smile on his face is not clouded.

 He thinks he can win.

" .I can certainly sense his tremendous strength, but I don't think he's an enemy of His Excellency".

"What a surprise to hear that he is not an enemy in front of that hero! You have come on so strong."

"Of course, of course. You are a living legend who has fought with the hated Ghardias for many years."

"------ no doubt. If I kill this Schneizel guy, will you come out? Gardias."

In contrast to Arcadia, which does not know exactly what the Evil cult of Ulgor is involved in, the Mertor Kingdom camp has a perfect grasp of the scale of the battlefield.

 On top of that, the name of this big man, who does not lose his look of composure, is --- Isaac von Mertor.

 He has been a general in the Kingdom of Mertor for a long time and is considered one of the strongest warriors in existence, along with Galdias.

 Without the Arcadia camp knowing anything, a strong man enters the war.

 Isaac is not alone. Many more fierce warriors from Meltor and several crooks from the leaders of the Ulgor Evil cult had gathered to take down Arcadia.

 ---The time for the decisive battle is near.
