North of the Kingdom of Rombert.

Frakis, the second city of the Duke of Bertels' Realm, bordering the Granan Empire.

To replace the arrival of three squadrons from the Dart region with a total of about 800 reinforcements, Milu took his men and spawned from Frakis.

The speed of the six-man riders was high, and by nightfall they had arrived at Mount Demacar, north of Frakis.

In the village at the foot of the mountain (where the lords lived), the few who arrived unexpectedly welcomed the fully armed First Knights.

The reason for this was that even though it was a well-equipped First Knight, it seemed that it was not powerful enough to suppress the plundering troops sent in by the Junkel Duke due to the small number of people.

“I'm going to rest here tonight. I take a horse to where I can go at night, but then I walk. Everyone, get some rest."

With that, Milu quickly retreated to the prepared room.

October 16, 7451

At dawn, Miru and the others left the village and advanced their horses to the closest charcoal-grilled village where they had a view.

Arrive at your destination before noon and make contact with the subject.

The viewpoint is that he is now a hunter man assigned by the deceased squadron commander, and he can also give directions to the fortress of Junkel, built on the summit of Mount Demakar.

According to him, it took half a day to get to the fort with his feet.

Regardless of the distance, the road that was somewhat walkable was only maintained halfway, and from the middle, it would be going the way without a road, so Milu thought that it would take more time, so she was surprised at this answer.

However, as a matter of course, I was convinced when I heard that the looters were spawning from the fort repeatedly, and that small roads were being stretched from the fort all over the place.

Of course, not all of the road was a solid road, but the information that most of the terrain seemed to be easy to walk on made Miroux and the others happy.

"Everyone, please only equip yourself with minimal weapons." I'll leave the armor and shields here. "

In addition to the hunters on the road, Milu also hired two carriers to carry bedding and other items.

They were both robust men with solid identities.

It's a dangerous night in the mountains, but since a fort is built on top of a drifting rock, it's impossible to build a kindling at night.

In the First Knights of the Kingdom, a group of four people will take the shape of a river as a camping technique if you can't warm up with fire.

With a total of six blankets, the inner two will be able to rest at a sufficient temperature.

The outer side and the inner side should be changed in the middle.

The other one is a sentry.

Naturally, we have to carry a small tent and the necessary blankets and food, but the increase in the number of people is also necessary to keep each other attached and warm.

However, Miroux did not allow the tent to be carried and ordered it to carry blankets and food for multiple uses.

The men insisted that the tent should be taken with them, but the huntsman said, "I've never used a tent either."

I thought there was no reason why I could not make a hunter into a camp without a tent, and the Knights, the first Knights, who were considered the most elite.

However, as usual, I still have about a month to spare until it snows, but it gets colder and colder every day.

Thinking about it, I had never reached the fort before, but it was going to be a tough night without a tent.

We have to hurry.

Wearing only a fur coat borrowed from the villagers under their armor and lifting only one long sword, Miroux and the others began to walk towards the summit.

I walked for about three hours to reach the village a little higher.

I saw a group of goblins or something in the distance once on the road, but I ran away, apparently figuring out how many of them were there.

This is a charcoal-grilled settlement that was looted about two months ago and is now inhabited.

I decided to take a late lunch break here.

According to the hunter, the road that stretches from the village to the summit ends in about an hour from here.

The Junkel kingdom is not stupid, so there must be patrols roaming from the fort around.

In anticipation of this, I intend to stop for about thirty minutes, and to deviate from the way.

That's how it goes.

Thanks to the hunters who led the way, I didn't run into any patrols until nightfall.

Then, we arrived at a place convenient for the camp based on Milu's standards.

"I'm going to camp here today."

Everyone disagreed with Miroux's declaration that the sun was about to hide in the dimness of the ground.

Isn't it too big here, Captain?

"That's right. The fire won't burn, but if it gets bright at dawn, there's a danger that it'll be completely visible from the top of the mountain..."

Besides, it might be easy to find monsters.

In response to those voices, Milu says, "Well, look at it," and uses earth magic to create a simple shelter.

In the shelter, there was an entrance and exit on the foothill side, and an air hole was opened on the summit side. However, in addition to creating a passage like a cover that bends multiple times, the final entrance was opened on the foothill side, so even if a fire was burned inside, the light could not be observed from the summit side.

"... until now, it was forbidden to do this, but it's okay, isn't it?"

Smiling, Miroux smiled at the First Officer's knight, Sir Kinshasa.

Camping training in the Knights was forbidden in order not to be trained.

Sir Kingshire said, "That's true. What I did......" I responded with a slightly embarrassed voice, and at the same time the sun set and the area rapidly darkened.

At the top of the mountain, there is still a bit more sunlight, so it is not completely dark.

"Look for firewood while you still can."

In response to the voice of Sergeant Murrayg, who served as the first officer, the men and hunters ran around in a hurry.

October 17, 7451

"The Knight of the Rock..."

Shit, is it better than a tent?

The two loaders are talking while grilling the dried meat for breakfast over a bonfire.

I burned the fire and it warmed me up.

I've flattened the floor, and magic is amazing after all.

"Yes, no, Olmo was able to use Earth Magic." Did he do it too? "

"Isn't it impossible with Olmo?" I told you I could only serve one cup. "

In the shelter, the floor was made in a step from the summit direction to the foot of the mountain, and the fire was set at the bottom, so it was possible to light the night without freezing at all.

Ah, I'll take this dried meat.

After calling out to both of them, Milu soaked some dried meat in the hot water he had created and made it into a soup.

The soup stock does not come out so easily, but the salt and aroma of meat used in dried meat dissolve, making it a better drink than just white water.

At the same time, the dried meat soaked in water also sucks in moisture and becomes slightly tender, making it easier to eat.

In addition, the utensils I use are simple rubber dishes that my parents gave me.

It is excellent that it is light and does not break even if handled roughly, and the rubber smell is suppressed in recent models.

Although some strength is maintained, the dish can be folded, and the bowl and cup can be crushed, so Milu was also important.

Since the size is not a big deal, I can't make enough for everyone at once, but if I repeat it several times, everyone can eat a warm meal.

Well then, can you take this to the guy standing guard outside?

Saying that, Milu offered a soup made into a slightly larger glass.

The blonde hair shines lavishly under the flames of the fire, and the scorched brown eyes reflect the dancing flames.

The man who was carrying the package blushed slightly and took the cup and walked out of the exit.

Looking back, Milu brewed hot water into something like a stone washbasin in the corner last night and threw in more dried meat than before.

I see, now we can make a lot of soup at once.

Come on, it's time for everyone to wake up!

I clap my hands, wake up the rest of my men, and fill the other washbasin with water.

Then I put my hands in the water and immediately washed my face.

"Ah, next time I..."

One of my subordinates jumped up and rushed behind Milu.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

The one who sees it rests his hand on his shoulder, but the one who is restrained returns, "You're going to drink."

That's who you are!

Sir Kinshasa, the knight who was scratching his head at the point where it seemed like an argument, said, "I'm not talking about you two. The captain is dumbfounded, too."

Of course, it's not that both of you really want to drink water after Milu washes your face.

I'm just making jokes to break even a little bit of the pre-fight tension that will exist today.

Speaking of Milu, this kind of thing was common every time I camped, so all I had to do was shrug my shoulders.

“Are these guys really elite in the First Knights?” Milu felt after joining the group.

However, I did not know how to deal with the rural daughter (Milu) at that time who hardly knew anyone other than the family and the inhabitants of the village who were respectful.

Seeing Milu laughing in love without being able to deal with it in a busy manner, some people reflect thinking, "Did you overdo it?", "Azure genius who has no experience with regular knights." This is baptism. "

Of course, not many people take such perverted actions.

However, even if it is a vulgar joke, it is certain that it often leads to the de-escalation of the tensions of the troops.

In the Knights, who have a lot of rough work and inevitably fewer women, they often festival someone Madonna and make jokes.

In the general Knights, there are not many women who retire because they are disgusted with the treatment of such sexual harassment, but those who join the First Knights are basically fierce, so they are not frightened to that extent.

It was just a joke, and even those who bought the role of de-escalating the tension were finished off.

By the time Milu understood those circumstances and responded coldly, it was a joke, but it had been a long time.

They became the first captain in their ranks, and Milu sees that this was not just a patrol, but an act in consideration of Milu, who had thrown himself into a regular offensive operation.

It's easy to get on with their jokes here, but it was just a matter of time.

In short, it was just that I felt like I was "still a little girl" from those who were described as regular knights through many actual battles in another knights group.

I wanted to get close to the orthodox knights who had served in the First Knights for nearly ten years, but some of them were older, and I didn't want to atrophy them before the actual battle.

"... don't move"

Probably a fort patrol, Miroux and the others bowed to the ground and hid in front of the three men.

Four fort patrols have met so far.

And the closer you get to the summit, the shorter the interval becomes.

According to the hunter who showed us the way, we'll be near the summit in less than an hour.

The sun is still in Jomtien, but I thought I would be able to return to the camp last night where the shippers were waiting while it was bright, but it might be difficult if I met the patrol like this.

"Did you go...."

After lurking for a while, First Officer Sergeant Murrayg muttered.

"I think we should go."

Everyone stood up to the hunter's words.

"That's the fort."

There was a fort about 300 meters away, about 80 meters above sea level.

As you can see from the reconnaissance, it appears to be a heavy fort built using a rift in the mountains.

"Ah, it looks like it's going to be hard to attack properly..."

Everyone nods to the Deputy's words, but the truth is, "It seems impossible just because it's too hard."

As you can see, there's only one entrance and exit at the bottom of the fort, so in the worst case scenario, you can prepare the right amount of troops for the offensive.

Even if you can make water by magic, you can't make all the food.

Of course, in anticipation of such a strategy, the fort would have reserved enough grain, and there would be regular supplies.

After the siege, it would be known to Junkel's side for a good week, and in the worst case, it would be known on the same day.

If Junkel's side isn't going to kill the fort, there's going to be more people who can break through the siege or surpass it.

At that time, I might be intercepted by the troops caged in the fort.

There are no pigeons or similar types of birds in Auschwitz, and therefore no messenger pigeons.

However, from the fort at a height, I could see the layout of the siege, and I could see the reinforcements approaching at a certain distance.

If it is possible to receive arrowheads from death squads, at least communication from the fort to reinforcements can be done, and if someone is willing, it is not surprising that the signal is exchanged by some kind of sign that is not a flag.

In addition, the telescope was invented only recently, so it is likely that the reincarnator can think of complicated communications by flags, signs, and armpits.

Taking them into account, it is limited to communications to the extent that they teach or know about the arrival of reinforcements.

At most, it was about "we are going to attack the siege troops".

In any case, the military offensive is a tactic that requires a lot of time, and Milu does not think of such a relaxed method of warfare from the beginning.

After all, I was going to destroy it without any questions.
