Episode 97. Counterattack.
Glazer started to move.
Rumors about this began to come in one by one from people with Strange’s name.
“Edward headed north?”
I think Edward probably started moving around now in his past life as well. Even without the incident of his father’s death, the period in which they prepared for war is roughly correct.
‘then.’
His goal was clear.
‘Vidar’, a giant called the son of God, is blocking our Strange from going to the north.
Gangradra took out Glaser’s secret letter and continued speaking.
“Not only this, but this information was spread within Glazer territory.”
[The flame of Muspelheim will soon be extinguished, so find the spring of Mimir and find wisdom.]
Muspelheim means the southern land. Finding Wisdom by finding the Spring of Mimir means memorizing the spells required for chanting.
‘Right.’
Glazer gave up the territorial war with us.
However, it is clear that they are trying to confine our Strange to the south by creating a barrier strong enough to require the chanting of many people.
“Where did you get this secret letter?”
“I found it at the top where it goes from west to east.”
“The top?”
“Yes, do you remember the woman named Gangret who was moving with me?”
If it’s Gangret, isn’t it the woman who didn’t take off her mask when she first met him and appeared in the arena with him?
“I remember. “Isn’t he the one who was reluctant to show his face?”
“you’re right. “She is now wandering her east disguised as a merchant from her west, bringing me information.”
“… So she’s in the east?”
“Yes, I guess I don’t have enough hands on my own. “We are receiving help not only from Gangret but also from our clan.”
If someone like this had been next to me in my past life, I would have been able to not only climb the tower but also come up with a plan to conquer the continent.
I smiled slightly while looking at Kangradra.
“If you need funds for activities, please let me know. “We will provide as much support as you want.”
“it’s okay. However, before we begin the next operation, I would like to ask you a favor.”
“Please?”
“Yes, the border crossing from west to east. The Margrave of the Strange family who guards the place is acting suspiciously… .”
Gangradra took out a handkerchief and showed it to me. This is Glaser’s symbol, ‘Dragon’s Eyes’.
“These items came out of the castle.”
“… … “Are you communicating with Glazer?”
“I’m not sure. So I decided to go out and find out for myself. “Since a few days ago, we have been unable to enter due to an unknown barrier.”
Since ancient times, a barrier can only be created by a wizard. If so, it is an established fact that they are in cahoots.
“I knew. “I’ll take care of that myself.”

“For the next week, no matter what happens, we will catch Katarina.”
I declared war on the Glazer who took Duke Catherine.
After Strange was summoned, I took a break for two days and planned an operation to recapture her.
Moreover, we found a way to take them out with just one company, without having to raise a large number of troops.
Alfredo stroked his beard with a troubled expression.
“Then we joined the unit of that man named Kaipa. “You mean to infiltrate Castle Glazer?”
Yes.
Kaipa, a relative, not only has Strange’s blood, but he is also a maternal relative of Katarina.
Taking advantage of that, he sent a letter of surrender to Glazer, then pretended to surrender and invaded Glazer Castle.
If I succeed this far, I will be able to get Katarina out on my own.
“It’s too dangerous.”
Cynthia answered firmly.
“So, you must return to the Legion.”
“what?”
“As you just said, this operation is extremely dangerous. If you fail, most of you will probably die. No, not most, but all of them will die.”
“… “Why do you say that so casually?”
“what.”
She was about to say something, but then shrugged her shoulders and sighed.
ha-
“yes. It was said not to spare your life when fighting. “Once you stand on the battlefield, you are prepared to die.”
Isn’t this such an obvious statement?
I think we’ve had this conversation more than ten times already. How can you still be afraid of death?
Alfredo cautiously joined the conversation.
“No, it’s good not to be afraid of death. “Isn’t it a bit different from just going to search?”
“Why are you dying?”
“They say if the operation fails, everyone will die.”
“Then all you have to do is succeed in the operation. “Have I ever been like that before?”
Rox folded his arms and nodded his head loudly, as if agreeing with what I said.
“That’s right, have you ever seen Verdin fail in an operation? no no! Before that, you are told to run away to the Legion? “There’s nothing else to do but die.”
He may be stupid, but he sometimes says things that hit the point like this. So even more, Cynthia and Alfredo’s pride was scratched.
“no! “When did we say we were going to run away?”

“Then go back. “Anyway, you only have to join when you go to the tower, right?”
“… Hehehe, Rox. This little bastard the size of X. “Are you really saying that in such a mean way just to catch me?”
Rox laughed and pretended to swing his fist in the air.
“Who will die later, you or me?”
I went between the two, emitting a faint aura. Only then did Rox and Alfredo turn their heads and return to their seats.
“Cynthia, I will make sure not to turn things around. “Your skills are far from sufficient to carry out this operation.”
“Skills?”
“Yes, the skill I am talking about is not combat. “It is a technique to appear weak in order to deceive the opponent.”
Cynthia closed her eyes as if in agreement.
“Even if you join this operation with Alfredo, you won’t experience much, and if the number of people increases, it will only create a dangerous situation.”
“So what are we going to do until you guys come back? “As you know, my goal is to climb the top.”
“… … .”
“I don’t want to waste time like this because of your family fight.”
What she says is valid.
Because our contract is limited to the tower. So I was able to make this suggestion to her.
“do whatever you want.”
“what?”
“As long as I’m not climbing the tower. “I don’t care if we move with another party or not.”
“… … .”
“Do whatever you want until I return to the Legion. Whether you’re fighting a war, exploring a dungeon, or climbing a tower. “Whatever you do, don’t touch it.”
Cynthia opened her mouth like a goldfish, then grabbed my shoulder tightly and got angry.
I couldn’t hear him say exactly what he was saying because he was shaking his head so hard.
To sum it up roughly, it was just a story that seemed to be that he was underestimating the skills he had shown so far and the leader of the Holy Knights.
Pak.
I held both her wrists and asked.
“So you want to go with me?”
“… huh.”
Maria Theresa, who had been listening to the story together, suddenly put her face in and joined the conversation.
“I’ll go too. “Then wouldn’t it be okay?”
Alfredo, who was opposed to this operation, also cleared his throat a few times and held his index finger and thumb together to form a circle.
“I can’t help it. Then I have no choice but to go. “As dangerous as it is, the pay will be generous, right?”
Rox looked at them and sighed heavily.
Haaaa-
“I was wondering if I could come back more comfortably this time.”

Boom- Boom-
A day before leaving for Glazer territory. I swung my sword in the training ground to throw away the distracting thoughts.
Boom!
Although it was just a wooden sword, it had an iron core embedded in it, making it quite heavy.
“Stand your back a little higher and concentrate on not letting your shoulders move too far forward.”
Siegfried looked at my posture with an indifferent expression and gave me advice.
“No, how come your shoulders don’t move forward when you swing the sword?”
“Hey you stupid bastard. I’m not saying to fix your shoulders. “Minimize your shoulder involvement and focus on your back when swinging!”
“Focusing on your back?”
“Yes, that’s right, you don’t just have to use your arms when swinging the sword. “By raising your strength from your waist to your back, you can apply rotation to your sword.”
Don’t you know that, you crazy old man?
If you want to swing a long sword with a body that is only eight years old, you will naturally have to use your whole body.
‘I’m currently strengthening my wrists to swing the sword?’ I don’t think it would work on Siegfried anyway.
I had no choice but to briefly nod my head and end the conversation.
“Yes, yes, I understand. “You mean to do it this way, right?”
I swung the sword just as he wanted, from the waist, through the back, up to the arms, and even lower than that, up to the ankles.
Buuuuung!
A powerfully swung wooden sword creates a sword wind.
Quang!
It was strong enough to shatter the wall.
Kwazijic.
‘Is this enough?’
I wiped the tip of my nose with a satisfied expression. Siegfried looked at the wooden sword and the shattered wall alternately with wide eyes.
“Y-as expected.”
‘How do you feel? The disciple’s skills.’
“I am amazing.”
‘what?’
“I can’t believe you can help me achieve this great posture with just a few words.”
A purple light flashed.
“th.”
phut!
I just smashed Siegfried to pieces. Then, his scattered soul came together and shouted to me.
“What are you doing!”
“… sorry. While practicing, I took the wrong direction. “It was a mistake, a mistake.”
Brunhild, who was watching the two of us, held his stomach and laughed.
“Kkkk-nyanyanyanyanyang! “You guys can really go somewhere and work as a comic duo.”
I grabbed her by the neck and asked in a whisper.
“So when are you going to teach me magic again? “I prepared all the tuna you mentioned.”
“ah?”
“And you said you would teach me magic that only Brunhild can use.”
“… … .”
“But why do you only teach me ordinary magic that adventurers would use?”
Brunhild looked into the distance and licked his front paw, then lowered his head and made a face.
“Actually, I forgot.”
“What?”
“order.”
“order?”
“Yeah, it’s been so long since I used the 1st circle spell that I don’t remember.”
The first head of the family who brought an era of glory to Glazer, who received the blood of a demon and was able to use the power of a god.
Archmage Glaser von Brunhild.
She doesn’t know how to use 1st circle magic?
“You damn cat.”
I just pulled Brunhild’s arms.
“Nya nyana nyang! Please, save me. My arm gets ripped off! Lord, you just have to figure out the spell!”
“how? They said there was nothing recorded anywhere. “If you don’t learn magic from Circle 1, you can’t move on to Circle 2!”
“there is. There is. “I’m sure there is a grimoire I left behind at Glaser Castle.”
“A grimoire?”
“okay! You said you were going to Glazer Castle this time, right? Why not pick one up while you’re there? “It’s not difficult to get a book from the study, right?”
Siegfried joined the conversation, looking down at me with an arrogant attitude.
“Good. Meanwhile, let’s burn Glaser’s library and come back. “If we just erase the records, their magic will gradually be forgotten, right?”
Dara stole the grimoire and burned the library.
‘… ‘Is this a good idea for an idea that came out of that idiot teacher’s head?’
If we do well, we will be able to end the war with Glazer before it even begins.
