The Strategist Knows Everything

Count Eulen territory of the Kingdom of Velis.

As its name suggests, this land, ruled by the Earl of Eulen, has the highest incidence of warcraft in Velis.

For this reason, it is necessary to exterminate warcraft on a regular basis, but successive battles and good hunters have been pulled out by the army, and extermination has not been followed recently.

Kaguya Hulberto, king of the Kingdom of Velis, had therefore sent an amazing hunter to Count Eulen's territory.

There is a girl who runs down a mountain path where trees grow.

Ahead of that gaze is Houndwolf, a wolf-shaped warcraft that recently attacked people.

This houndwolf is known for his fierceness, and for his advanced hunting by the herd, but now he was desperately fleeing as he reduced the number to four and tongued out.

What made him do that was a girl ponytailing chestnut hair that followed it lightly.

This is Mikana Hazard, the head of the fourth unit of the Royal Veris Army Knox.

The fact that it was a disaster for Houndwolf happened to hit the village when Micana was nearby.

And that the mountain that escaped was the one that Micah had been hunting with her father since childhood.

These two points.

The instantaneous speed was overwhelming for Houndwolf, but Micana had a bow and arrow in his special needs, and getting distance wasn't an issue.

In addition, Mikana, who grew up as a hunter, was used to tracking beasts.

The defeat of the Houndwolves was largely determined at a time when they could not rely on footprints and sound to sprinkle the mikana that followed them accurately.

But where I admitted to losing, there is no life.

The Houndwolves knew that. I stopped but at the end of the day. That an exact arrow would shoot through us by the time we were cruel.

That's how they were hit. They were desperate because they were watching the fellow herds. So I didn't notice.

To be driven to a place where we are.

Mikana remembered her nostalgia for the mountain scenery, which hasn't changed much, while at times she unleashed an arrow on Houndwolf.

The arrow pierces the right or left of Houndwolf and catches up with the Houndwolves.

Already a few hours after the chase started.

Micana wasn't so tired because she was efficiently catching up with Houndwolf, but she still couldn't say at all.

If I could still ask if I could do it, I would say yes, but I wasn't even healthy enough to want to go on for a few more hours.

"It must be time for the ambush to be complete, and it will be right around the time."

Whimpering alone, Micah squeezed her bow.

He releases an arrow three times to keep standing and pushes Houndwolf to the point where his men are supposed to be waiting.

In fact, if I wanted to push them, I could push them at any time, but I waited until my men's deployment was complete enough.

But a few hours after the order has already been issued. If the deployment is not now complete, the amount of training has to be increased, Micah thinks, while pushing Houndwolf onto the main road to the point.

At an early age, this is how he used to push the beast with his father, Micah soaked in nostalgia, frowning at the sound of the arrows cutting the wind and the screams of the beast that had reached his ear.

"... I can't believe you made me scream... What else would you do if you had company? Absolutely. We need more training."

Faced with dissatisfaction with his men's proficiency, Micah slowly headed to the point where his men were.

After completing his crusade for the Warcraft and returning to his base, Count Eulen Castle, Micana just ran into Nicola, who is in charge of rebuilding a village devastated by the earlier war disaster.

"Micana!? Have you finished crusading the Warcraft yet?

"Good job, Two Coras. Yes, I think this cleared up all the warcraft that had the sightings."

Two Coras honestly admired Micana's words.

At the same time, I felt anxious about the progress of the work I was entrusted to do.

"How about that one?

"Hmmm...... I don't know if it's going at all when I smash it. I need to rebuild a broken house first. What, but a thousand people aren't manning enough in the first place... and rebuild the house, and I have to have the tools I need to live, and the vandalized fields won't be back to normal any time soon. I don't have enough money for this."

"I see, I expected it, but it's tough. The Crusade of the Warcraft has also been completed, and from now on, let's work together to win."

"Thank you. Honestly, that would help. Our term of office is about a month. Once Master Yukito returns, we will be under Master Yukito's command again. We cannot stay forever. So I can't help but fix the basement to make it easier for the troops to do it."

Two Coras said so, smiling uncontrollably.

With it, Mikana smiles, too.

There was someone who spoke to both of them.

"Mikana, Nicolas"

There are only a few people in this castle who can summon the two of us.

The two immediately stretched their spines and thanked Oswald Eulen, the person who had been speaking up.

"Take it easy. I don't care if you two are afraid of me."

"However…….."

"When this is the case with Yukito, be flexible, though?

To Micana, reluctant to ask her to make things easier, Yuren laughed niggardly and gave Yukito his name.

Micah felt like she had been told that she was not as flexible as Yukito, and while she was feeling a little grumpy, she said, "Let me sweeten you to your words," and she drew strength from the body she was putting in.

"Count Eulen. Wasn't there something you could do for us?

"Oh, you're right. Master Kaguya from Wangdu came early. After returning to Wang Capital, the festival will be held. We're hosting a martial arts tournament there, so Micah has to play."

Micana gave an uncommon, carefree expression to the abrupt order.

Around recovering from it immediately was a boulder, but the two coras who were beside him, seeing such a mikana, are grinning bitterly.

"The festival competition is a distraction. The goal is to remind the people that the war is over and that fun is waiting for them?

"I guess I just said it wasn't too far away without hitting it. Anyway, it seems that Bade Farne proposed this martial arts tournament to Master Kaguya. During the war, he worked with Dio just fine, but now that the common enemy has fallen, he is also a man who doesn't know what to do. There's got to be something behind it."

"Back, Your Majesty?

Micana tilts her neck.

The same goes for the two colas on the side.

Seeing that, Eulen reflected in her mind.

Whatever Yukito is, it's because he can't help talking about politics to both of us.

The force feud between Bade Farne and Diorud is only political.

For those who are on the front lines, engagement is a thin matter.

"No, I'm sorry. Never mind. It's not like I'm going to do something to Micana that goes to the martial arts tournament or anything. Daimyo, I'm sure you're trying to increase your constituency."

"Is that so? Okay, for once, I'll be careful. But... when it comes to fighting for power, Yukito seems to hate it."

"You won't like it. But I'm talking about Master Kaguya. Yukito will definitely try to pull it off. If you don't like it, say no."

"Wow, that comes to my attention. The sight. Master Yukito could explain the disadvantages of the martial arts tournament and make you stop..."

"In the first place, you're the one who thinks that's even troublesome. I don't like it, but I hate the effort to persuade you, and I think you reluctantly take it."

Yuren and Two Coras nod over and over at Micana's words.

Seeing that, Micah recognised what her superiors thought around her.

"Well, I told him to tell. Probably Ars Crowe or Roy Clyhoud for the martial arts tournament. There's got to be another Velis trick out there. There could be messengers coming from other countries, and if we win, we could have names all over the continent, right?

"Right. As Yukito-sama's deputy, I can't play embarrassing games, and I'll do what I can."

"Come on, Micah! I enjoy the festival, though."

"How about two colas out? If you say you want to leave, you think you'll let me out, don't you? You said you got fat recently because you weren't moving, right?

"Huh, I'm not fat! Fat. Maybe. Besides, Velis, I can't get out of here even though I can gather my skills from all over... If I leave, I'll kill you instantly. In a literal sense…………"

Knowing that the arms of his sword are about lined up, Nikola taps the sword on his hips and tells Mikana that this is an ornament.

When she heard Nicolas say something like that, Micah smiled and nodded.

"Now, instead of appearing, please accompany me in my archery. I was just about to increase my men's training, and I haven't used many swords lately, so it would be just fine."

"Huh!? You were listening to me!? I don't like it! It's lunch!

"After a little movement, lunch should taste better."

Saying so, Mikana thanked Yuren and took Nicolas away.

"Hmm, I thought she was a quiet girl when I was in the castle, but was there an outgoing radical side to it? Did you hide it or did it change because of Yukito? Either way, Yukito is a stranger."

Yes, Yuren snapped and went back to his office.
