The transmission of information, for is not extremely easy.
When Longwind Fortress fire burns, in King's city two Duke still in concentrating on keeping the King's city order, when Eastern Region Duke and Prince Edmund army assembles, when attacks the Holy Spirit Plain boundary land, the St. Sunil City director has not obtained the slight news, the Griffon messenger who until braves death to break through from the plain boundary flies into King's city, this will relate to the kingdom future great change truly presents before the director in Silver Castle--, however until this time, they do not know that Southern Region is having also a great change, this great change will be affecting the future of kingdom.
But between remote Southern Region and King's city do not have slight relation-- outside Silver Castle, in St. Sunil City, is dormant the informer from Cecil.
Crown Street No. 4, became the King's city mage circle and in the Cecil Family official mansion of scholar circle lodge, wears the scholar politeness of woolen fabric soft hat to stand up, to present mage apprentice good a ritual, afterward left the room under aide's guidance, „sorceress” Jibril looks that after this completes the registration King's city mage sets out to leave, slightly to sigh, setting out is moving slightly a little stiff shoulder.
Sits in so broad bright room, wears the cutting out appropriate expensive women's clothing, meets by the Duke agent status and King's city scholar, the so dignified work is „sorceress” Jibril has never imagined, but until sits after this position, she knows that like this seems behind the attractive dignified work extremely for is not easy, must do itself with King's city these experienced smart people are a test, she must in this process by the status collection information of Military Intelligence Bureau competent person, the transmission exit, during this difficulty from the adventurer pocket of passing by the road did not cheat out of money in the street dependence honeyed words compared with her in the past. Easy.
The door shoved open, wore a knight casual cloth „fast walker” Pierce walked, saw in the room, only then after a Jibril person, this young man nods: „Departure of last registration?”
„Yes, today last,” Jibril is beating the shoulder while said that „were more than yesterday several people......”
„The King's city situation is becoming intense, comes out the soldier from the castle and knight who is inspecting the suspect from house to house, few days ago even had a fire in the rich person area, the will of the people fluctuated,” Pierce finds the place to sit down by the table, was saying change in recent city, „also thanks to this aspect, our recruiting became easier Duke Cecil the employment certificate can make them leave the city in this time legitimately.”
„Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow can sufficiently collect 100 people, we can deliver one to approve again,” Jibril has read registration book on the table, afterward looks up to own companion, „other, the native place transmits the order, making us after sending to the last group of people stops all public recruiting, only maintains at the hidden place the relation of King's city mage circle, collects the information to wait to order.”
In Pierce heart somewhat is suddenly curious in how the southern feudal lord knows the King's city situation change--, because some information with enough time have not delivered, but makes him not question the order in the training that Military Intelligence Bureau undergoes, but nods directly: „I understood, tomorrow I will go to each association to cancel the request.”
„Also was the time stops public event......” Jibril to sigh in a soft voice, „the situation in city was worsening, has the traitor to hide in King's city, the person in Silver Castle is perhaps quick will order to block entire St. Sunil, we were depend upon the asylum of Duke to be able always freely to move, but the following some time try not to continue to challenge the Silver Castle sensitive frail nerve to be quite good......”
„Does not know that in the future will be what kind,” Pierce could not bear sigh, came him in slum, first time started to sigh that this type of originally should not have the matter of slight occurring together with his life, „this country may really be more and more chaotic......”
„The present confusion is only temporary, Duke will bring prosperous and order for this country finally,” Jibril lifts the eyelid, looks at Pierce saying that „this type prosperous and order is aloof in the product of this time, perhaps but we can see in the lifetime.”
„This is Mr. Sanctis had sighed probably words,” Pierce has smiled, „, although sounded to be optimistic, but I thought reasonable.”
......
What if sees in Cecil territory prospers and order, that in the aristocrat army has wreaked havoc the place, can see then only then deteriorates and confusion.
Carroll gets the southwest, Kang Sike Area, a small village was almost razed, the ruins edge in village, an armed team of small scale is passing through from side.
This team discipline is orderly, above team flutters the black red two color flags, on the flag is being printed with the Cecil Family symbol. In the team has 50% people are to wear the bright armor and at the back of fight backpack the Cecil fight soldier , the other half person is wears the light quality armor, to wrap/sets of the overalls, is looking like not too likely is the non-combatants of soldier, on latter's overalls is printed with the red triangle to symbolize, this sign in the Ainz tradition is always the doctor and a mark of Apothecary kind of profession.
Wright Ivy agrees walks in the team, he is in the team only one wears entire feeling of heaviness in the limbs armor, the status is actually the person of doctor-- his doctor marks seal on chest armor, that striking red triangle symbolized that makes him appear especially conspicuous in the team.
Naturally, the red symbolized that is more conspicuous, build that his stands head and shoulders above others compared with the strong soldiers.
At this moment, this strong and big Priest and battlefield doctor looks at the present ruins, could not bear send out a sigh after silent several seconds finally.
In the line of sight all buildings the collapse destruction, in the village has stored up the grain the warehouse to be despoiled the later arson to burn down, the water well was also disposed, the cattle domestic animal was slaughtered to appease hunger by the hungry aristocrat soldier, without enough time carries off same was committed to flames with the granary and house, but in certain places, Wright can also see some unpleasant dark red bloodstains.
This village was destroyed, was destroyed by the war, but destroys its actually not as „enemy” Cecil person, but is this village in name asylum, nominal master-- the knights in Kang Sike Area, as well as with the aristocrat allied armies that Kang Sike Viscount forms an alliance.
The aristocrat allied armies that from breaking to pieces the Shiling frontline retreats has destroyed this place-- like other places that they destroy along the way.
The aristocrat is the synonym of plundering, in war especially so, but Wright will still feel for oneself experience shocking, he has not thought that the destruction when the aristocrat allied armies the rout will carry on will be more alarmed than they will march causes when plundering and destruction that even shocking to has made him unable to bear suspect the aristocrat soldier who these will retreat will be a person, termite that one crowd will skin to peel bone.
The one who stands side Wright is a Cecil veteran, this sees the battlefield in the veteran who in the team was the squad commanders, understood that set of traditional aristocrat army, he shakes the head, explained to Wright: „They in march also some orders-- at least at that time, they also posed as in the by land and citizen protector, their way village cities time will collect many grain and belongings, but will at least not destroy, once retreated, they have become the wolf...... With the Cecil army, these aristocrat soldiers are not do not regard any crime act ‚plundering’ from the start, not because will take the several bread of common people hung to whip, they to fill the belly anything will dare to do, even to prevent the grain and house will fall in the pursuing troops hand, they will burn down a place to a place......”
„Doesn't they own land let off?” Wright could not bear interrupt the words of veteran, aristocrat who „these retreated...... Will they order to destroy the village in oneself territory really?”
„Why can't?” The veterans sighed, „they have defeated in any case, according to the custom of aristocrat war, the victor must always plunder one-- they thought that even if did not rob the grain in village, burns down the house, the pursuing troops will also do, made the enemy go well with it, was inferior oneself began personally, moreover as the matter stands they can also snatch some grain...... They did not think that like this does business at a loss.”
„......”
Wright was silent, the darkness and evil in war make him not know that should say anything-- he came from relatively wealthy stable Holy Spirit Plain, even if has also experienced the despicable acts of some barbaric aristocrats in the doing missionary work process, but likely this scale, the genuine war are actually his first time saw, the matter that the aristocrats becomes a fugitive in the process that do at the rout, goes beyond his expectation greatly.
But he is not a naive person-- the behavior that although many people after knowing him follow the classical Holy Light moral excellence said him to be naive, but he knows that oneself is not like this. He in the brutality because of war is dark and is shocked, but he therefore naively does not think that should not have this war, does not think that is the victory of Cecil has caused at present these tragedies.
He knows that the human greedy, knows greedy of aristocrat, after looking at critical analysis on newspaper, he knows that this war is inevitable, no matter the war result how, these greedy cruel aristocrats and their armies will handle similar matter-- plundering and destruction association occur, where the differences will lie will only occur.
Moreover he also knows, Cecil army already, when spreads of avoid as much as possible these destruction-- large unit pursues continuously in as far as possible enemy toward wilderness and so on place action of driving away, if really approached the cities, as far as possible before they cause the destruction pursues to fiercely attack, drives away it, after all, will protect these cities villages is also protecting the Cecil future property.
But no matter how diligently, in the battlefield is always full of variables, does not fill controllably.
Therefore Wright can only look silent, afterward lowered the head, met with the person of disaster to pray for these silently.
The Lord of Holy Light will not respond to his pray, but he did not anticipate that has any thing to respond to own pray.
The commander looked at this Priest family background battlefield doctor one, has not disturbed latter's prayer, but starts to distribute the duty to the soldiers: „Do you two, go to the nearby to look have the families, inquired that does have the person who flees from calamity to fortunately survive, finding the way to look. You, your three, look for the nearby to discard the corpse the place, concentrates to burn down the corpse. Other people with me come, to look to look have any thing available.”
