We had left Imperial Capital for a week.
Passing a town, we, the execution force for the battle to recapture gauge fort, are now moving in a forest.
Our destination, Gauge Fort, is in a small plain opened just before clearing this forest, a place surrounded to the left and right by the foot of mountains.
It’s the first time for Sharon and me in this place.
Although Laurier passed through here when coming from the south previously, she doesn’t know if she stopped by inside.
This child, is her memory all right?
Just before passing through the forest, the group stops.
From the main road to the fort, there is a place to enter the forest via a concealed passage.
Leon and the 3 of them will go towards the fort from there.
The conceal passage has not been discovered by the demons.
Yunikram and Caroline has verified the area beforehand.
Well then, from here on ahead, it’s our turn first of all.
Our mission is a feint operation.
Coming out of the forest, we approach the fort along the main road.
And after that, we restraint the demon.
As much as possible, I try to attract the demons coming out from the fort and defeat them.
Although the gauge fort is called a fort, that’s a thing of the past.
As a transportation hub now, the functions of a fort has been removed and it’s no longer a building cut out for defense.
According to the information from the survivor of the annihilated subjugation unit last time, demons basically come out from the fort and the battle is conducted outside.
The more we act violently outside to attract the demons out, the easier it becomes for Leon’s group to gain control inside and fight the demon race.
“Then, we are going.
Mr.Haruto. Ms.Sharon. Ms.Laurier.
Take care.”
Leon gives us some encouragement.
“Going there, the opponent is a demon race.
Do not lose focus, show me the results of these 3 months.”
I return it too.
And, I match Leon’s fist firmly and look at each other’s face.
Nodding silently, Leon’s group entered into the forest.
Alright!
The exchange just now has a super good appearance!
My soul is trembling.
In the past,with that stupid-looking uncle with huge muscle, my head was grind against as a farewell.
Although I could feel the friendship in that case, the appearance for the exchange now definitely looks better.
If I am a girl, I would fall in love.
The appearance now is good!? and, charged with expectation while looking over,
Sharon and Laurier weren’t even looking here to begin with.
Look at it!
Falling in love again, it’s a place to feel your chest tightening right!?
Damn.
Well, it’s fine.
Even if that wasn’t seen, the 2 of them are head over heeds for me!
…….it’s futile.
“Sharon, Laurier.
Let’s go through it once more the last time.”
2 people who were looking at the fort turn around.
I confirm our course of action.
“I, the vanguard, will stand in front.
Laurier will do hit and run attacks. But do not get in front of me.
Sharon is at the rear, cleaning up the demons my attack left out, and as a guard for the soldiers who are waiting behind.”
2 of them nod to my words.
“If you are injured, fall back to Mr.Dewey’s place for recovery magic to be given.”
Mr.Dewey is a grandpa court magician who came along for our sake.
Even if it takes some time, as long as the its to the extent of losing parts and not dying, the injury can be recovered.
“Supporting the duty in that case will be Laurier and me respectively.
I will leave it to Laurier in Sharon’s case.”
If I fall back for recovery, Laurier will go out in front.
If it’s the opposite, I will be the vanguard alone then.
In the event that Sharon falls, it was decided that Laurier will take over.
“And then, about the usual attack due to the demon race opponent, I will sense it.
At that time, Laurier will go out to the front, and use the shield of air, Air・Shield please.”
Finishing the final verification with the 2 of them, we turn around to the fort.
If Leon’s group proceeds smoothly, they will break into the fort about 30 minutes later.
