Demon Army camp.

Vigilance was a pretty strong thing.

I thought it was just patrolling by soldiers, but multiple demonic junctions had already been set up and all of them were covered up.

"You're tough even though it's only for one night."

Simply putting up multiple demonic junctions should be quite a hassle.

It would have been quite a difficult task to adjust and superimpose while not interfering.

"I guess that's all you're alert for intruders"

In my case, you just have to go ahead and melt in the dark.

But if you're a regular infiltrator, it's going to be hard to even get close.

Many soldiers cross the camp.

They've already finished their meals, and each has no trouble taking care of their weapons or checking their gear near the fire.

You can actually see it this way, but the Demon Army has a pretty high morale among the average soldier.

No one is interested in a futile tale, no one is in the tent and resting.

"Outside, I wonder if you're wary of night raids"

The evening is yet to come.

It's early time to go to bed, but usually people come out to take off their armor in preparation for tomorrow.

But no one looks like that.

I got a little interested, but I don't have time to find out why I have high morale.

I'll leave the war to the soldiers, and I'll give priority to what I have to do.

One thing that stands out in the camp is the sight (also only Yagura).

It's a simple thing that just tied the trees together, but that was what two were made of.

"... let me use it a little"

As it melts in the darkness, it goes up to the roof of the sight.

He looked into the camp as he was, as he was likely to find himself when he appeared out of the darkness.

Thanks to the fireworks, I can see far away.

"Hmm? Is that a stone thrower and a spear ejector? It's more of a weapon for dragons than a moon warcraft countermeasure."

We could not tell from outside the camp, but weapons for the anti-dragon had already been prepared.

I think I can fire at any time. And we have all the numbers.

Even if we ambush with a flying dragon then half of it is going to be struck down by the time we leave.

"My army wouldn't do that."

I don't think the dragon jockeys alone would set up an operation that would make them run into the camp.

If it were executed, it would likely be the Dragon Nation side (this way) that would suffer the damage.

On a rough estimate, about two hundred horsemen are dispatched to the south in the regional dragon squad.

I expect about a quarter of them were put into battlefield this time.

"I wonder if it's a painful hand you can't recover if you lose half of them, as if fifty horsemen are gathered on the battlefield"

Considering that only around thirty horsemen can be put into action in the year, losing so many dragons here makes each side's defenses thin.

For better or worse, my country is a dragon favor, so I don't really want dragons and dragon jockeys to wear out in these wars.

"It's the Demon Squad in the center, isn't it? How about that operation, the dragon country's consumption rate is going to jump, but I wonder how much."

Just as the Devil Nation wants a dragon, the Dragon Nation wants a wizard. It's all about each other.

The dragon kingdom takes in a fairly privileged wizard whose identity is certain and there is no betrayal.

Still, the number of wizards does not extend far into the demonic kingdom, and there are fewer powerful wizards.

There is not enough in Dragon Nation to wage such a war.

That's why, if a demon burst in the middle of a battle, it is believed to be from the Devil's Kingdom.

I mean, the casualty at that time was the Dragon Nation soldier.

I don't know what kind of magic they use, but it's pretty nasty in mass warfare when it's the type that can range attacks.

I fought the thirteenth staircase of the demon kingdom, previously called "Black Mist," but it's hard to see such a magic at first sight.

"I'd love to reduce your numbers if I could, but if you move here, you'll be on guard."

Toothpick, but not something to do before the big job.

I switched consciousness and turned my attention to the other parts.

"... hmm?

Slightly rearward from the center of the camp, he discovered an unnatural corner.

It's a big tent, but things themselves aren't splendid.

Either way, it's old.

"It looks like a tent to keep supplies in..."

If you ask me if I stand out, I don't think so.

It's a normal tent everywhere. The difference is that it's a little bigger than the others and...

"Why is no one around that tent? And you didn't put anything on it?

That's what I cared about.

Soldiers walking nearby don't even come nearby. Unnaturally, that's all we avoid.

Long undercover experience makes my eyes go to weird places like that.

Keeping an eye on the tent, one came out of it.

A man dressed in a fine military uniform. A token in the tent, he walked away.

As the man walks, one soldier after another who was nearby raises his head. Just look at it and you'll see that he's of a higher rank.

"Maybe... the Demon King is over there or something?

Actually, there was one other fine tent, and the king thought it was there.

But you're not necessarily in the most splendid tent of anything.

Then there are some things you can see.

That unnatural empty space.

"Demonic junction, I guess."

Maybe there's a pretty vicious junction for assassins. Or...

"Is it the sensory juncture? The one I found."

Previously, when I unintentionally entered the Demon King's room, I was also found diving into the darkness.

I still don't know why I was found, but there was someone in that room who could be discovered regardless, whether he was hiding in the dark or not.

But when I think back later, they find me the moment I walk into the room.

Afterwards, it was sensed even at considerable distances.

That was judging me by "something" that wasn't in appearance.

Maybe that unnatural space is as soon as someone gets in there can tell.

"Then you're screwed."

The moment I go inside, they raise their voices.

At the end of the day, they will illuminate a strong light and force you to show up. Same as last time.

I don't like running away in a big hurry again.

After keeping an eye on the tent for a while, there went out from the inside again those who had put together military uniforms that looked fancy, and those who looked like magicians.

I'm back in the tent after a little while.

In the meantime, no one else tried to step into an unnaturally open space.

I was almost certain, but I'm not sure.

"Are you coming back today?"

I just want to look inside the tent, but I don't get the image to make that alert a bit.

I also saw how things were going today, so I decided to go back.

I gently left the camp and hurried to the top of the mountain where Shalazad waited.

"Once the trees were dense here too, and I didn't think people would ever come up, how'd it go?

Yes, when I asked Sharazard, he never felt a sign of a person. Good.

"All right, let's go back to town"

"Aye, okay."

We went back to Saul's town.
