173 Chapter 11-7 Spy Capture

"Are you here?"

"Excuse me for being late at night"

I visited the Vice Commander's tent in time for a change of date.

"You have more people than I thought."

In addition to the deputy commander, there were five men and women in the tent who seemed to be knights. They're not armed, but they're obviously on my guard. Though it was better than I thought, given that unexpected adventurers will visit late at night where the army is responsible, it may be right to describe there as only five.

"I'm fine. These children are trustworthy. Whatever, it's my kids."

"That's a lot of kids."

"I've left about five others near Uncle Borderline."

You mean ten people in all... Wow. In many ways.

"So you didn't come all the way out here to talk about it, did you?

That being said, the deputy commander took a piece of paper out of his pocket. That piece of paper was handed to me when I shook hands with the deputy commander when I got here so I wouldn't find out around. The content is, "I want to discuss measures to break the current situation, so I want you to wait only for those who can reliably be trusted by the time the day changes."

"You don't have to go around like this to suggest something you should have suggested on that occasion... because of that attitude, you might have made an extra enemy."

"I don't care if people don't like me, and even though the officials of the Border Bell Army alone have crossed a thousand and are still growing, the Deputy Commander is just as worried as I am that they can be trusted, right?

"You mean a spy..."

The deputy chief muttered in a bitter voice. If an army of this magnitude, it's so weird to think it's not there.

"It's a little weird that they're not moving anything, even though almost this one is becoming a favorable situation, so you should act on it thinking you have a spy and are asking for an opportunity to reverse a shot"

"So you're here to sneak up on me, keeping an attitude like you don't like working together... So, what are you going to do?

Speaking so far, the five men who were following the deputy commander began to turn their guard from me to the perimeter.

"What you do is simple in itself. First, crush the opportunity for a one-shot reversal you want over there. Next, give this one a boost and finally show some martial arts."

"Sure, it's simple, but the question is how do we do it... if we all do it the wrong way, the enemy will come into an avalanche"

The man sitting next to the deputy commander was also the most questionable. They say the enemy Imperial Soldiers will come as far as the border is critical, but they can't attack from here because they haven't exited their own territory yet, and if they prepare to attack, they could attack them for defensive purposes, for example, because they are about to invade the Imperial territory.

"If you win with that, you cut off the realm of the kingdom, and if you lose and get attacked, you say, 'That's some troop outburst, not the will of the empire. Those who were already Lord have disposed of them, so they want their territories returned'?

When I heard what I said, the deputy commander and the man nodded. If that happens, as a kingdom that doesn't want to work with the Empire, we'll have to return the land we cut, even if we know it's a lie.

"Well, I guess so. If that happens, this is a big loss. Paying adventurers to maintain the army, even now they're in deficit."

I thought it was a feminine mindset to worry about the Borderline Army's nostalgia even though it was in contact with the enemy.

"I can't help what I've consumed so far, but if my measures succeed, they could be positive in the long run."

"Hmm... but is it expensive instead? Payment to you."

He says that in his mouth, but the deputy seems interested in my operation.

"I'll keep it cheap. Well, from now on, I might say something unscrupulous to Uncle Borderline."

"Let's leave that to Master Lion."

"So, negotiations have been concluded."

The deputy chief who sold Lion to me in a quick execution just told me to tell him what to do.

"What about my operation..."

Deputy Head of Mission SIDE

"Do you think it will work?

"Well, you'll be fine"

My son, who is my secretary, seemed worried. If you look closely, the other four feel the same way.

"He's done something similar to the first phase of the operation in the past. The second step is just to exaggerate a little bit of what we do all the time, and to get to the third step, that's what we usually do."

The operation Tenma said was, indeed, simple. But if you succeed, it's highly effective, and in the long run, you can say you'll get it.

"Well, you'll see when the sun rises. Tomorrow...... no, today. I'm gonna be busy, so go back to sleep."

That's what I told my sons, but I don't believe in Tenma from my own heart. In my mind, I am certain that there was anxiety such as "Maybe I didn't really forgive the old days and I would deliberately fail..." Because of that...

"Sounds noisy early in the morning... I don't sleep all the time..."

It's not really a bit of a place, but where you don't know who's watching, you can't let the top of the organization look like you're not feeling well, etc.

That's how I thought I'd get out of my own tent and look around with my chest up...

"Ha ha... this will wake you up..."

Until yesterday...... no, what didn't until I went to bed surrounded our position (...).

"Really, you might have gotten your deficit back..."

Lieutenant, SIDE.

"How about this?

Before dawn, one of them was out of work and I was taking a nap in the carriage, and I woke up with a surprising voice I could hear, finding the deputy commander during a walk of drowsiness and speaking up.

"Heh!

The deputy captain was surprised how distracted he was by what I had made, the moment he spoke up, he raised his weird voice.

"Oh, oh, I'm not talking about being good! If the engineers find out I made this in a matter of hours, they might lose their jobs and they won't be able to sleep at night!

The excited deputy head of delegation admires it to creep up.

"So, how did this happen!

As the momentum stood, the deputy commander was trying to figure out the way I did...

"Deputy Commander! That's it!

He was stopped by Lion, who ran out of breath, where he noticed for the first time that people were gathering around him.

"Phew, phew, phew... Lieutenant, from the side, you can't even see an executive of the Houst Border Bersers trying to take his rights away from an adventurer. At least we're not talking about doing this here."

"Besides, if Maria found out about this, my neck would fly!

"Yes! My neck...... cain, what are you saying behind me!

Behind Lyon scolding his deputy, Cain sneaked up on him to show off Lyon's monomane. When I thought I was going to say something aristocratic to Lion, was that the only statement I made because I was worried about it... well, I was aware of it. 'Cause it's Lion.

"I can't believe it, why don't you go into the Vice Commander's tent. If you want to talk about it here, I won't stop... because I don't know what to say... for another reason, isn't it a good idea to talk about it here?

When Lion and Cain made a scene and the deputy captain was confused as to whether he could continue talking like this, Grandpa, who had been chasing the two of them, started holding the deputy captain next to me. Hi, Grandpa seems a little angry with the deputy commander.

"I'm sorry. Please come to my tent because you have forgotten me... and I would like to make a formal apology."

Noticing Grandpa's anger, the vice president bowed his head to me and Grandpa and apologized, trying to invite him to his tent on the grounds of apology. He's just not willing to let me use his veto when I say invite him, and at the same time he's trying to hold on to my arm and force me to escort him.

"Right. I want to talk to you, too, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Wherever you want to shake it, it's easy to shake it off, but if you do that here, you could be seen around as having broken the friendship with the Borderline Uncle (Lion) family that you built up, and most importantly, you've heard about the character of the deputy commander from Lion beforehand, so I was expecting you to do this much. Therefore, it was decided to accept the proposal of the Vice Chairman.

Upon hearing my reply, the deputy commander walked out with my arm pulled as he laughed nicely. I don't think I'm going to let go of my arm until I get into the tent.

"Good for you, Lion. We can avoid beheading."

"... Ugh. I hope Cain doesn't mess with his brother either."

"Ugh..."

Lyon, who was relieved by how things were going with me and the deputy captain, seemed upset by Cain's words and was using Gary to fight back. Cain was stuffing his words with Lion's unexpected counterattack, looking like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

against those adventurers who were interested in approaching us.

"From here on out, no one is allowed in except the people involved. Any attempt to approach intentionally can't help but be judged to be harmful to the nobility!

"Master Tenma is scared when she gets angry, so please don't go ahead from here ~"

"I'm really scared, so please back off ~"

"Gallu!"

"There! Back off! If we get any closer, Tenma will hit us with one fingertip! So back off!"

"I don't know what Amur is talking about, but if you piss off Tenma, it's definitely gonna hurt! And then, if you don't want the Duke of Sanga, the Marquis of Sammons, and the Uncle House on the Border of Houst to stare at you, stay away from here."

And the other faces kept away. As a matter of course, Chris, wearing Kingsguard armor, and Albert, who can see himself as a nobleman with one eye on Amur, whose name is sold among the adventurers, and Jeanne and Aura, dressed as maids, have a shilowmare behind them, so the adventurers couldn't get close to me or the deputy commander.

In doing so, the knights are gathering to take over the task of keeping the adventurers away from Mr. Chris and the others.

"Can't you help but be this harsh than there could be spies"

"I have something to report."

When I replied to the Deputy Commander's soliloquy, the Deputy Commander looked surprised for a moment and immediately noticed that the report was about espionage, which only slightly increased the speed of walking.

In the tent, five people from yesterday, who came to hear the noise, are already waiting, finishing their seats for the talks.

It should be noted that it was me and my grandfather and the three idiots who entered the tent apart from the deputy captain, and Jeanne and Aura, in their capacity as maids, made Amur reluctant to talk tough and Chris and Slaline and the others waited outside as escorts and guests of Jeanne and the others.

"I got excited earlier, and I did something I'm sorry for. So I want you to tell me about the wall that surrounds our camp (...)"

How concerned about the wall, the deputy commander cut out the story there as well as the apology.

"Deputy Commander......"

"Lyon, that's okay... but you can't go into details, can you?

"Still, I don't mind!

Speaking to Lion, who looked frightened by the deputy commander's attitude, before responding, the deputy commander rode himself out and nodded, feeling like he couldn't wait.

"The walls were built by applying the methods we used in Kukri Village in the past. At the heart of it, it's a secret, but simply put, we magically built a moat, and then we built a wall out of the dirt that came out."

To my answer, the deputy commander said, "What are you taking for granted, this guy? He looks like," but in fact, he embedded the nucleus of the golem in the ground, activated it at the same time to make it a moat, and walled the golem side by side, so briefly explaining it would be oh and so on. By the way, it was Slalin who implanted the golem, and it was also Slalin who recovered the nucleus from the wall. Thanks to Slalin, who excels in covert action, even if someone had witnessed the moment when the wall could be made, it would only have looked like the soil had suddenly risen from the ground to become a wall.

"Well, there's a difficulty with strength, but that won't be a problem if we reinforce it later"

"Oh, yeah, sure, there's no problem. Even if it's brittle, suddenly the impact of building a wall on the opponent is enormous… So, what's the report on espionage?

The vice president changed from the excitement he had just seen, and now he's got a serious look at me.

"First of all, I don't have the ability to tell if you're a spy by just looking at me."

and once he cut the words and looked at the vice president, the vice president nodded silently. Instead, my people, starting with Lion, are all necked.

"We are taking the liberty of restraining what we deem a spy on top of that. Of course, only those who acted as spies."

"I have no problem detaining anyone who has acted suspiciously in this situation. Most of all, if there's only one reason to convince me."

The deputy captain, after turning his attention to Chirali and Lion, skipped a sharp glance at me.

"That's the best you can do. First, please confirm the detainees."

That said, I opened the mouth of the dimension bag that captured the detainees and told the deputy commander to check inside.

"Uhm...... eh!

"Vice Commander, who the hell is there...... Become!

It won't be impossible to be surprised at the vice president and the man who sat next to him last time. What's more, those in dimension bags are six adventurers wearing four Borderline Army uniforms or armor.

They both seemed to predict that there would be spies among those in the Borderline Bermuda Army, but there was still someone in the bag who would surprise them. Who is that person...

"Why is our army troop leader in here!

The first person to eat at me was the man sitting next to the deputy commander. The man tried to tuck me in, but the deputy commander held me on my shoulder and forced me to sit back in the chair.

"For what reason did these people decide to be spies? Based on Mr. Lion's condition, did you have any reason to believe that Mr. Lion was convinced?

"Yeah, you're right. First of all, these adventurers, they were trying to get in touch with the outside world as soon as they could get a wall. First of all, this guy is like Tamer, and he put a letter on the foot of a little bird demon and threw it in the direction of his enemies. Where I flew, my family captured the demon. Here is that letter. And the man next to it was twisting up the wall, trying to use the mirror to send some kind of signal in the direction of the enemy formation. These two are interrogating and confessing in the presence of Lion."

The other adventurers could not be questioned for time, but they caught the other adventurers trying to leave the position in a panic with their asses full of surprises at the appearance of the wall. Maybe he wasn't a spy, but he had no choice but to act on such suspicions. I can't help but get caught being judged a spy.

"And these are the soldiers... those whose names were named from the mouths of the adventurers who questioned them. I can't say enough about this one being a spy for sure, but I caught him just in case. We asked for any accompaniment, but we all refused, so we tied them up like this."

Nor can we abandon the possibility that the caught adventurer just gave the name he duly knew, but he refused Lyon's request, the next peripheral uncle, on the grounds that he suspected that he was too spy.

"And there's another person named as a spy from the head of the unit's mouth... it's about you, secretary (...)"

"What are you talking about! So this kid is a spy...... hey, whoa!

The deputy captain denied my words, but lost momentum when he saw the sinking face of Lion, and finally saw his own son, the secretary. And you seem to understand that what I'm saying is true.

"Why..."

"Lieutenant, the question is best, but let me tie the man up first."

When I approached the man with that word from Lyon, the man was unexpectedly caught very hard. As for me, which I thought would be resisted, it felt a little clapped out, but I decided to tie the guy up first and then think about it.

The fact that his son was a spy meant that he would be placed under house arrest until the vice commander's innocence was proven at the discretion of Lyon, temporarily absent the commander, while being careful not to leak the matter externally, apparently the vice commander fell ill, so Lyon was to announce that he would assume temporary command until he recovered.

"I think we've almost accomplished our request with this... so shall we change the terrain? Lion, there may be a little confusion, so please respond."

"What?"

At the same time as the deputy commander's house arrest was decided, it was also decided that the rest of his sons' movements would be restricted, and Lion is consulting Albert and Cain on what to do with the excuse for the matter and the division of duties (the two were temporarily hired by the Border Bell Army. The title is proxy for the Duke Army and the Marquis Army, who are going to come in reinforcements. Finally, as a temporary advisor, Chris and Grandpa decided to participate) I said that in the meantime, so I didn't seem to understand what I was talking about.

"I have pre-planted it, so I'll just go and finish it right away"

I've been putting a trick on the other side of the wall at the same time as building dirt walls, so I thought I'd get some errands done. It feels like my backup only because I can afford the Lions for stopping them from moving.

"Wait a minute, I'm coming too! It's not like they've done something they don't know about!

"Right. From now on, it will be Lion's fault for what Tenma has done, and maybe it will be ours."

Hearing Cain's words, Albert also rushed to take a seat, trying to follow behind the Lions and come after me.

"You can come, but it's gonna be over real soon"

Grandpa and Mr. Chris seemed unwilling to come, sipping tea while watching the other four and cheeking on my served treats. Some of the treats are also mixed with something like sesame, so in a few moments Amur and Shiloumal will notice the sound and smell and storm them.

With that in mind, I took the three of them and moved them over the walls. There were adventurers gathering near the fence, but the knights were watching closely, so no one tried to go up to the fence. Well, I guess it has something to do with informing you that whoever did that in the first place will be captured.

So when I first tried to magically jump up on the fence, the knight who was nearby almost caught me. Because of that, the three of us (especially Lyon) have been messing around with all the usual payback and laughter, so I decided to definitely pay this debt back in the near future.

"So, what's Tenma willing to do here? And I apologize, so please don't retaliate other than me. You can give those two my share of the payback."

I heard why Cain moved over the fence. Finally, as the other two didn't hear me, I secretly apologized and then I was selling the other two. Cain is talking in a small voice just in case, but the other two are in the middle of being fished up on the fence in turn by Slalin, so even if you look where Cain and I are talking, you won't be able to afford to care.

"No, because the three of us are together when it comes to retribution. Because in me, all three of us are the only three idiots. I think it's rather shaky, so hold on to Slalin."

"Hey! The three of you together... rock?

Cain's reaction was delayed because he didn't seem to understand what I was saying for a moment because he tried to protest that selling his people wouldn't help him, but the other two instantly cling to Slalin, making a grip on me like a prep OK or something.

"Well, let's go!

"Wait a minute -! Because I'm not ready yet.

As I heard Cain scream, I began to focus on changing the terrain.
