Chapter 363: 363 - - Art. 363 And at last it begins to move.

A large number of bonfires were lit on the opposite bank of the Cacona River as dusk approached. This was a sight that had been seen every day for the past few days and was no longer particularly unusual for the generals of Tana's army. However, there was something different about the Agarthans on this day.

"...... smoke"

When Ville receives the report from the scout, he mutters to no one in particular. The staff members look at him with a curious expression on their faces.

"How much is it?"

"Ha. It seems to be more than twice the usual amount of smoke. It's billowing behind the Agartha army like a cloud.

"Are the Agarthans trying to put up a smoke screen? ......"

One of the staff members mutters something that makes Ville laugh out loud.

"Ha ha ha!　I see. So that's how Valiant sees it. I guess I'm not far off the mark. ...... Woohoo!"

He is laughing so hard that he is holding his stomach, as if he really likes what he just said. The staff members look puzzled at the sudden smile shown by their lord, who has been showing only a rather stern expression since the recent battle.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect. Why are you so obsessed with the smoke rising from the camp of Agartha?

One of the staff, Tabu, said something that made Ville's face tense.

"Tabu, don't you understand?"

"What?"

"The smoke rising from Agartha's camp is probably them preparing a meal."

"Is it a meal ......?"

"Moreover, it is reported that a cloud-like haze of smoke is rising from the sky. So they must be making more food than usual. ....... Perhaps they are making enough food for a few days."

"That means ......"

"Oh. Tonight, the forces of Agartha will move. Not to attack the swamp. They will retreat from the battlefield. The smoke is to make food for them. Food to last them until they can travel to a place where they can work their magic and return. ...... Send all scouts to the Kakona River. Keep an eye on the movements of the entire Agarthan army.

At Ville's words, the staff members bowed their heads in silence, their eyes darting about.

Then, as the sun was setting and the area was enveloped in darkness, one of the scouts came running up to Ville.

"I tell you!　Agartha's army has begun to move!　It seems that they are moving to the rear!

"Finally, they're moving. And?　What about the movements of the bandit army, the Lamarong army, and the Sandanj army?"

"So far, there has been no movement. However, the bandit army suddenly seems to be making a lot of noise.

"Hmph. ....... Are they trying to fill the hole Agartha left out?　But then, you're not very good at it."

With a smirk on his mouth, Ville loudly orders a soldier beside him.

"Call Honsch and Lumine!"

Soon the two men appear before him and fall flat. He watches them with satisfaction and speaks to them in a slow tone.

"I would like to give you an opportunity to make amends for the disgrace you suffered in the recent battle, what do you say?

"Thank you, sir, I am very happy!"

I'd be happy to serve in that capacity, right here in Luminaire!"

"Good, good. I knew you would say that. Agartha's army has just begun its retreat.

"Which means, Your Majesty, ......"

Yes. We're going to fight a follow-up."

At Ville's words, Honsch and Lumine bow their heads in silence. It was obvious to everyone that their bodies were becoming full of vitality.

"It will be a late-night chase. Let's avoid at all costs the mutual slaughter of our allies. And I will lead this pursuit.

Wait, Your Majesty!

Tabu, who had been standing by, drops to one knee and refrains. But Ville took one look at him and immediately turned his attention to his staff.

"Agartha's army is probably no more than 5,000 strong. Then I will pursue them with a larger force of ...... 20,000. There will be no infantry. All of them will be cavalry. We will go at once. While the rebels are slowing down we will make a hole in Agartha!　Do not let the retreating Agarthans move to the point where they can use their magic. Hurry!"

It was only a few minutes later that Tana's army was ready.

◆◆◆◆◆

A few hours earlier, Linos had held his last military meeting.

"It's ...... too dangerous."

It was General Callies of the Lamaronian army, his mouth open with a surprised expression.

"No, this is the only way to destroy Thana's army. That is why ......"

"No, King Agartha, I agree with Lord Khaleesu."

It was Nike who was looking at Linos with a serious gaze.

"There is no need for Agartha to be the only one to take risks and make sacrifices. We should do what we decided to do the other day.

"Hmmm. I've been thinking about that. Maybe I wouldn't try to attack all at once.

"Huh?"

The faces of Nike, Callies, Almond, Vieille, Shin, Knogen, and Princess Rufana, who were all around Rinos, all looked as if they were in a daze.

"The Agartha army is retreating. Lamarron's and Vieille's armies retreat in their wake. Nike and the Sandanjis will remain behind as a rearguard. And if Tana's army attacks us, Nike and his men will attack the flank of Tana's army. If they attack Sandanji, we will attack their rear. ....... I think it is a well thought out and brilliant plan. I just wondered what would happen if the enemy did not move. I thought it would be better to consider what would happen in such a case. If the enemy doesn't move, the distance between us and the Sandanji army will only increase. If we are not careful, the Sandanji forces will be left behind.

"I will not let that happen!"

Suddenly, Shin, Nike's son, spoke up. He stood up quickly, looked around, and walked forward to Linos.

"I think you are reading too much into this, King Agartha. Even if we are alone, what do we have to fear with 100,000 men of Thana? My Sandanji army will crush them. We are used to fighting in the desert.

"Shin, hold back. War is not a matter of talk.

Nike's husky voice echoed through the room. Shin, perhaps intimidated by the voice, took his seat again with a regretful expression on his face.

"With all due respect, King Sandanji..."

Suddenly Vieille opens his mouth. Shin, who had been lying on the ground, looks up and looks at her.

"Please understand Mr. Singh's feelings as well."

"...... What do you mean, Mister Vieille?"

"The Thanatian army is strong, but none can match the sword and magic of our Sandanjian army. ...... Isn't that right?　Master Singh?"

"Enough, Vieille. Enough. You don't talk. You'll complicate things."

Linos shakes his head slowly, as if asking for a break. Then he looks around again and opens his mouth.

"We don't intend to be hurt by this operation. We would rather destroy the Tana forces without suffering a single casualty.

As he says this, he turns his attention to Knogen, who is standing next to him.

"Knogen, that thing works, doesn't it?"

"Yes. No problem. I can replenish it properly while holding the Orjin. It takes time, though. Still, it's very well made. I wonder what the inner structure is like.

"Mei, Sidi, and the dwarves have put together the best of their technology. There's no way we could have known what was inside.

They laugh at each other.

"However, it is still dangerous for Agartha's army alone. We should take a few more soldiers with us.

At the words of Kalyes, Linos makes a gesture of thinking for a moment.

"At ......, can we borrow some of the cavalry with mobility?"

"Oh, in that case, I will lend you my Sandanj cavalry. They will come in handy in the desert."

Then I will lead the cavalry to the king of Agartha.

Shin, shut up.

"With all due respect, ......"

Just as the fight between father and son was about to begin again, a voice was suddenly heard. I looked over and saw Commander Almond of the Lamarong army standing there in awe.

"I would be happy to take care of that for you, sir. I have some confidence in my ability to handle soldiers.

"Almond ......"

When Kallies was about to say something, Linos quickly stopped her with a hand.

"No, he's fine. Oh, there you are. You're the best of both worlds. Right?　Knogen?"

Linos turned his attention to Knogen next to him. He looked at Almond and nodded in satisfaction.
