Chapter 468
Chapter 468
On the map on the desk, there were red convex pieces for the enemy and blue convex pieces for the allies.
We moved them around several times to confirm and adjust the strategy.
During the review process, we were joined by the knight commanders Dinas and Rubens, who arrived after us, and their opinions were also taken into account.
We are sure that everything is in place.
"......That pretty much sums it up."
The blue convex pieces of the team's position in the operation were finally completed.
Everyone present seemed to agree with the words of the father, and were giving their consent to his words.
Yes, I think all that needs to be done now is to inform the various parties concerned."
When Dinas replied on behalf of the others, Father nodded his head and turned his attention to me and Amon.
"The success or failure of this campaign will depend greatly on the negotiations. Please, both of you."
"I understand. Leave it to me, Father."
"I will definitely try to persuade him."
Hearing our answer, he turned his sharp gaze on us.
And Capella. You must know a lot about this kind of thing. Make sure you protect them and help them succeed."
" I understand,"
He bowed deeply and looked around at everyone present.
"Tomorrow's battle will be a tough one. But we will fight through and we will win. And then we will all return together in triumph."
"Oh!"
The knights responded strongly to their father's words.
After the military reviews were over, everyone left their respective rooms and began to move to prepare and deploy for tomorrow's operations.
As I was seeing them off, Cross came over to me, apparently having received some report from a general knight who had just entered the room.
'Master Rid, Amon-dono. May I have a word?"
"Yes, of course. What's wrong?"
When I asked him back, he continued with a serious look on his face.
The truth is, it seems that the foxmen warriors we have taken captive are shouting strange things. It may be important information. May I ask you two to come and see me?"
"Strange things ......?"
What in the world was he trying to shout?
He looked at Amon, who was standing next to me.
"What is it about, by the way?"
Ammon asked, and Cross twisted his head inexplicably.
"They seem to be saying a lot of things, but to sum it up, 'The Bardia family tricked Amon and the warriors guarding him.' ...... The warriors seem to be shouting that."
"......�"
Amon's eyes widened and my brow furrowed.
"All right . let's go now"
We headed to the place where the foxmen warriors were being held captive, guided by Cross.
The place that Cross guided me to was the prison of the narrow fortress.
Originally, he said, they imprisoned criminals, but now they are holding the captives of the Foxmen tribe.
Beyond the heavy-looking door he opened, there seemed to be several small rooms, and the doors were evenly distributed along the walls of the corridor.
Cross calls out to the knight who is watching and stops in front of one of the doors.
From inside the room, he hears a roar that seems to belong to a warrior, and he also hears a rough metallic sound, as if he is being restrained by chains.
The foxmen warriors are in this room. This may be exciting for you two. First, please take a look through this little peephole.
'Yes. Well, I'll start with ......."
After saying that, he checks the warrior in the room.
Was the warrior covered in returning blood?
He is wearing reddish-black stained clothes and no armor.
His arms are bound by chains on the wall and his mouth is gagged with a cloth-like object.
His legs are also chained, and he roars, "Take these off! he roared and snapped the chains as if to say, "Take these off!
His eyes are bloodshot with anger and hatred, but the emotion transmitted through the "electric field" is a deep sorrow, like a lament.
It's not something caused by war .......
It is something deeper, like the loss of a loved one.
As I was pondering this, I suddenly realized that there was a familiar "thing" attached to the warrior's neck.
It's a different shape and size, but it looks just like the "collar" that was on Cookie when I met him.
A cross. That 'thing' on his neck is ......."
"It suppresses the magic power of the wearer and alienates him from activating magic, physical enhancement, and beastification. Besides, ......."
With a cliched look on his face, Cross continued.
The other day, he said, "Among the skilled men who had invaded the fort without fear of death, there was a warrior who had carried out a suicide attack, just like those Master Rid had mentioned who had attacked the main mansion.
"......."
I was stunned, but Amon shivered and cast down his eyes in frustration.
"The person we are holding captive in this room now is likely to be a survivor of such a warrior. Fortunately or unfortunately, he seemed to have fainted before he blew himself up. We brought him here as a prisoner of war after the battle was over, and he was in that rampage. In addition, when he realized that he could not blow himself up, he bit his tongue and tried to kill himself. Therefore, we are restraining him like this."
"Then, what do you mean he was screaming?"
As I listen back to Cross, who continues his explanation without hesitation, he takes one look at the knight who is waiting nearby.
"According to the knight who was watching him, when he regained consciousness, he appeared delirious and was shouting a lot of things. That's ......."
'In summary,, 'the Bardia family tricked Amon and the warriors who were escorting them into a fight.' ......?"
"Yes. That is correct."
Cross nodded in agreement to the confirmation question.
I see.
The reason why Elba and Gareth sent Amon to the Bardia family compound was not only to declare war and buy time.
It was to boost the morale of the entire army, not to mention the powerful families and warriors who admire Amon.
"...... May I have a look at it too?"
"Oh, yes. Yes, you may."
When he changed places with Amon, who looked up, he checked the room through the peephole.
He then slowly turned back to me.
"I know him. He was my squire, Rick's friend since childhood, and a general warrior in the Grandek family. His name is 'Carrabba."
'I see. His ......."
Rick was a warrior who cared for Ammon to the end and died before our eyes.
" Rid I want to talk to him directly. Will you open the door for me?
"Yes, okay. Can you do that for me?"
I nodded to Amon's question and turned my attention to Cross.
"I am sorry. However, since he is in a very agitated state, we will leave the restraints in place. Please understand."
Yes, I understand. I understand.
Amon and I nodded, and Cross unlocked the door and opened it slowly.
Carrabba, the fox-man warrior in the room, snapped his chains and opened his eyes when he saw Ammon.
