Chapter 28 | Reconnaissance Team
"That is the fortress of Sebari" (Ina)
"Woah that's huge" (Senna)
"As Master said, they are very relaxed, it seems they are sure will win this war" (Dhea)
"Yes, it's clear the soldiers are just talking and laughing..." (Ina)
"Talking and laughing? Can Master see that far without a telescope?" (Kronny)
That's right, all my senses are improving, at first, it's a bit annoying and it's hard to adapt to sharp senses because you'll be forced to stay alert at all times.
I can see the guards from Fort Sebar, it's the name of the foremost fortress in Batisla, as explained earlier, our current job is to spy on the enemy, but that's not my goal.
"Okay let's see 1200 Cornella Alliance troops, it must be fun"
"Master, we shouldn't go there, what if something happens..." (Soraka)
"Has something happened? to me?" (ina)
"Ah—sorry, I misspoke" (Soraka)
"However, the topography here is not suitable for continuing to hide away. Not underestimating the Master's power, but it would be troublesome if they found out about our existence" (Dhea)
"Asahi, didn't you say an army of 6 or 7 men?" (ina)
I feel someone's energy.
"Yeah depending on the situation, there can be 2 or 3 magicians and the others are Grade A or S" (Asahi)
"How strong is such a reconnaissance squad?" (ina)
"Yes, those troops are weaker than the troops that joined the war, but surely their reconnaissance ability is very good" (Asahi)
"Okay, I'll change my question, do you think they will bother me?" ( Ina )
"Of course not at all"( Asahi )
I drew my sword, [Mana Slash] to the left, a scream was heard after the attack, and a reconnaissance team was found.
"Left side" ( Ina )
"Yes Master!" ( Maids )
Enemy point of view.
"I feel a strong Mana concentration from the right! Magicians use protective magic!"
Even so, Mana's slashes weren't attacks that lowly Protective magic could stop, so the protective magic they used was destroyed.
"Impossible!"
"Arghhh!!"
"[Thunder Chain]"
I cast a tier 8 magic spell that can kill all enemies in 1 attack, Thunder Chain is a lightning bolt that will bounce from one place to another, so that almost all enemy reconnaissance teams that were hit by the attack died, and one of the enemy magicians was about to run away using [ Fly ].
"[Thunder Spear! ]"
Soraka with her blue spear threw her spear, and hit the enemy's heart, making him die instantly.
On the Maid's side, they had massacred 6 scout teams, whereas I slaughtered 3 scout teams.
"Yeah, since we've seen enough should we go back?" (Ina)
"Master, don't intend to go any further right?" ( Kronny )
"Even farther?" ( Ina )
"Kronny what do you mean?" there should be 1 more reconnaissance team around here" ( Dhea )
"We must kill the other reconnaissance troops, we must not let the enemy troops get any information" ( Kronny )
"Ina, didn't I tell you that Cornella will prolong the war, if their reconnaissance troops die, their information gathering will also be disrupted, they can't prolong the war" ( Asahi )
"What's the point of doing that?" ( Ina )
"What's more? just to interfere with our enemy's plans so that their goals are not achieved" ( Asahi )
"Interesting, it doesn't get better than that, well let's head to Batisla, our goal is to kill the reconnaissance army, let's go blind Cornella" ( Ina )
"Roger that!" ( Maids )

Shortly after the massacre of the enemy reconnaissance squad, one remaining enemy reconnaissance team arrived.
"Thunder magic?!"
"Use World's memory magic to see the enemy!"
"[Universe Memories]"
"We can't see their faces clearly because they are wearing robes and...there are 7 in number!!"
"Nonsense! How did our 9 Reconnaissance Team get defeated with 7 People???!"
"Most likely they are all at S level or high level mage, we'd better report to the main base first, prepare communication magic"
"Yes"
1 Cornella's reconnaissance team reports to their superiors, Cornella Commanded: Officer Marquis Morris Jiorne.
"Annihilated?! 10 Scout groups?!!" (Marquis Morris)
*Female voice from the magic ball : communication magic
"Yes sir, 7 S-rank, no. Most likely 6 S-rank and 1, 8-Circles Magicians, that's just our speculation after observing their battle trails" (Woman in communication magic)
"Come back here and wait for further orders" (Marquis Morris)
"Yes sir!" (Woman in communication magic)
"Class S and high-level Magicians, could it be an elf?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"Probably they are from Inarcia" (Marquis Morris)
"It will be difficult to prolong the war if there is no information from the scouts, wouldn't it be better if we attack directly since our military strength is greater?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"That's not necessary, since I'm using people from the war squad as a reconnaissance team, I just have to return them to where they came from" (Marquis Morris)
"Then, aren't we wasting troops?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"There's nothing more stupid than doing the enemy's schemes" (Marquis Morris)
"...could this be their tactic knowing we would think this way? I mean, could it be that Inarcia wants a long war?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"...." (Marquis Morris)
Staring at each other seriously, the atmosphere became tense.
"Hahaha...sorry, I talked about unimportant things" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"No, that also makes sense… you have to think that far to come up with a strategy" (Marquis Morris)
"But, then, shouldn't we be prepared for all eventualities?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"Right" (Marquis Morris)
"Pardon?" ( Marquis Dranken Digmus )
"Winning or losing in a war is determined by how much you can see, as well as how good your mainstay major is" (Marquis Morris)

Camp Baron Derja of Inarcia
"Corella's reconnaissance team disappeared without a trace? what are they planning...are you sure?" ( Baron Derja )
"Well... actually there were traces of the battle, but the reconnaissance team was nowhere to be found" ( Inarcia reconnaissance team )
"Any traces of battle? Did you use world memory magic?" ( Baron Derja )
"Yeah, since the fight has been going on for a long time, so..." ( Inarcia reconnaissance team )
"Then did they all die?!! who killed them?!!!" ( Baron Derja )
"Who killed them huh? Even if there are traces of fighting, they're fine" ( Inarcia reconnaissance team )
"...Could it be people from the Dragon Pawn Order?" ( Baron Derja )
"Sorry but the Dragon Pawn Order only has 1 Reconnaissance team of 7 people... They can't find 10 reconnaissance teams and kill them with just 7 people" ( Inarcia reconnaissance team )
"Normally that's the case, but. The fact we don't know their abilities... faced this unexpected situation from the start was my first time, how should I report it..."( Baron Derja )

Camp Ina & Asahi
Someone came from outside, it was a woman who entered my room.
"You've come... Charlotte" ( Ina )
"Yes" ( Charlotte )
