I would like to make a suggestion. Will the Silverwing Knights join the third level of the battle ...... to defeat the criminal organization Agat Ram?

　Carmine is waiting for me to continue with my words with an expression that could be described as fearless or interesting in response to the suggestion I hit straight away.

'The mithril trafficking organization ...... that was operating in the dark on the ground, its tracking and destruction should be the job of the Silver Wing Knights. Even though they were later found to be an uncommon group, the name of the Mithril Trafficking Organization's arrest will not disappear. Besides, ......

　I turned my gaze to Garnett next to me for a moment, then looked at Carmine squarely in front of me again.

'Agart Ram is supposed to be an avenger for the Argentean family. Then go to .......
If you want to join the war, I've already informed Your Majesty.

　Carmine's reply was extremely brief.

''But even if you put your name forward as 'I want to compete,' it's not like that's the only thing that will make your wish come true.

　As expected, the Silver Winged Knights were hoping to participate in the third level of the battle without me even needing to suggest it.

　However, it seems that they haven't gotten any good results so far.

I'm going to have to say that I'm not going to be the only one who is going to be able to do this. United Forces.
That's generally true, although I do intend to send some of the ...... corps members to the diversionary units.
''And if the Silverwing Knights have room to participate in the war, it will be as a Kingdom side force to be incorporated into the United Forces. In other words, it all depends on whether His Majesty chooses us or not.
I'm sure Your Majesty would have chosen well.

　Maybe - Carmine gave a wry smile in reply.

''But the balance of power between the knights is very difficult to reconcile. The source of the eleven knights is the military organization of an enemy country that was annexed to the Westland Kingdom. They were enemies of each other just a short time ago.''
''I know. If the influence is unbalanced in any of the Knights, a backlash from the other Knights would be inevitable.
Exactly. And unfortunately, Agat Ram is very popular. Numerous knights have come forward to claim me. Not only the Golden Fang in charge of military affairs, but also the rainbow rainbow scales overseeing the temple, the green eyes overseeing the wizards, and .......

　According to Carmine, the only ones who don't wish to dispatch their forces are the two or three knightly orders that don't have their own official duties to perform.

　The rainbow scales and green eyes are probably eager to approach Agart Ram, the remnants of an ancient magical civilization, looking for clues to their research topic.

　I don't have to wonder what ...... has to do with the knights guarding the trade route, but since Agart Ram had a widespread dark side, it seems that the knights guarding the trade route were forced to lick their lips as well.

　It is said that since the idea of 'sending in a warrior selected by the royal court' was brought up, there is no end to the demands to have a piece of it for them as well.

''Commander Luke. I really appreciate your invitation. But even with that in mind, it's unknown how much force we can send to the coalition forces.
............
''Besides, I've left my hopes of avenging you in Garnett's hands. If the White Wolf Knights can avenge me, that's all I need.

　I understand what's going on, but whether or not it makes sense to me is another story.

　But whether or not I'm going to agree with it is another matter.

I understand the situation in the palace, sir. But I have my own reasons for doing so. Of course, it's not just my own personal feelings that are at stake here.

　It would be a lie to say that there are no personal feelings mixed in with the cause of wanting the Silver Wing Knights to participate in the tournament as well, and I have no intention of denying that.

　It is a natural emotion for a human being to want the people who have taken care of them many times to fulfill their true purpose.

The official duties given to the White Wolf Knights is not just to mediate between the royal palace and other knights and adventurers exploring the dungeon 'Ark of the Elements'. One of our roles is to reveal the truth behind this dungeon.

　That's why the White Wolf Knights have been sent personnel from scholarly knights such as Iridescent Scales and Green-Eye, who are more of a researcher than a knight.

　Hild of the rainbow rainbow scales and Ambrose of the Green Eye.

　It would be a waste of time to hold onto talents like them if they were merely to act as mediators.

If the offensive goes well, perhaps ...... no doubt, Agart Ram will try to destroy the evidence and erase the information. They are bound to make all the material on trafficking so far, as well as the data on the technology they inherited from the ancient magical civilization, disappear themselves and their way.

　Of course, this is only true if we can win the battle.

　But this is a serious matter that can't be solved by just saying 'I didn't expect to be erased'.

That's why we, the White Wolf Knights, would like to conduct an investigation at the same time as the coalition unit's attack on the third level.
'Heh ......!　It's another bold policy!
'The legacy of an ancient magical civilization is worth pushing the envelope on. I'm convinced of that, you know. I've been disgusted by this vicarious experience.

　I'm not exaggerating, I really believe that.

　The remnants of the records of the ancient magical civilization that I have glimpsed many times before have presented the existence of an advanced civilization that greatly surpasses modern civilization.

　As a knightly order to investigate and research, as a person who has been working as an adventurer for fifteen years, we must avoid having valuable information destroyed in a whimsical manner.

''However, the White Wolf Knights on their own are clearly not strong enough to fight. Even if you pull from the adventurers, the skillful will have to be sent to diversions and strategies. But if it's the Silverwing Knights, you can go to .......
The seizure of evidence from the investigation and the recovery of valuable research materials are all part of the same mission. We're going to take advantage of the coalition forces' offensive and raid the information that Agat Ram has been hiding.
''...... Yeah. So, I'm not proposing to participate as a 'kingdom side force' but as a 'force that works with the White Wolf Knights'.

　I couldn't help but chuckle, and Carmine returned a similar smile.

　When it comes to the formation of a formal attack force, almost all of the Knights have come forward to say 'we are the ones', and to be honest, the competition is quite high.

　But what if it's in the name of accompanying the recovery of information by the ...... White Wolf Knights for a secondary purpose ...... rather than the main attack unit?

　The knights who are volunteering for the reason that they want to fight and defeat Agart Ram shouldn't come on board.

''This is only for the purpose of securing valuable information, but such materials should be heavily guarded. Perhaps there may be some close encounters with the executive class that won't be on the front lines.
I see, there is certainly a reason for wanting to have a force in place. If we can get rid of a good number of high-ranking officers, it will make us look good in retaliation for the incident.
''I'll formally submit a request to the royal palace later. By any chance, there may be some requests for dispatch from the rainbow scales and green eyes as well, but I think it will rather provide just the right cover.

　Scratching behind the complicated situation of the power balance of the various knights, and having the Silverwing Knights also face Agart Ram without a care in the world - it must be probably the best move for that purpose.

　And since they would be taking on Agart Ram as a separate unit from the attacking force, they would be able to satisfy Garnett's vengeance more strongly than if they participated as the rest of the allied forces.

　I was laughing with Commander Carmine, feeling as if I was being devious, and Mark was looking at me with a look on his face as if he had seen something he shouldn't have, but I decided not to pay attention to it for now anyway.
