The Citadel of Garbee. It is located three hours northwest of the capital of the Lamaran Empire by horseback. It is a fortified city located on a plateau that looks as if it were carved out of a mountain peak, with the Lamarong Sea behind it and the Irbezi River to the north, making it a natural strategic point.

Originally, this city was the capital of the Lamarong Kingdom before the construction of the present capital. It is the city where the first emperor spent most of his life hundreds of years ago in order to unify the imperial kingdom, and it is one of the most important cities for the people of the imperial kingdom to protect, along with the imperial capital.

From the citadel of Garbee, we were looking far into the distance at the capital of the Lamarong Empire.

Lafayence is shaking his head and muttering bitterly.

"No, General, if the imperial army rushes into this city with all its might, we definitely won't win, will we?"

"That's right. I understand the general's desire to go into battle, but we have proven that we can bring down this solid fortified city. That is enough for me. If they attack us with a large force, then we will retreat with dignity."

Knogen chuckles and chides the general.

In fact, the battle time was almost zero. As we had done when we liberated the city of Agartha, we had Sadakichi and the other Fairy Dragons spray the barracks with paralyzing scale powder from above, and we took advantage of the night shadows to charge into the city. There were only about three hundred men packed in there, all of them neatly taken prisoners.

We also succeeded in capturing all the gate guards and the soldiers guarding the main facilities.

We released two of them and sent them running to the capital. I thought that if the army came out from the capital, we could fight depending on the scale of the battle, but there was no movement at all from the capital. He was now trying to find out if they were upset or if they were returning their forces to Agartha.

At that moment, Sadakichi appeared before him.

Then I take out a piece of paper from my pocket and write a note.

With these words, Sadakichi disappeared again.

"What are you doing with Matkal, Mr. Linos? A love letter, perhaps?"

Lafayence is smiling a grinning grin. I smile back,

"No, I was hoping you could arrange a souvenir for the people of Garbee."

The old general nodded, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the imperial city beyond.

The people of Garbee woke up in the morning and were surprised to see the city. At the entrances to the city and at ten different places where people congregated, there were signs like this one.

Good morning. How are you waking up? Whether you slept well or not, you must be surprised to see this sign. As a matter of fact, Agartha's army took over this city last night. Oh, please rest assured that we will not harm you. I'll be staying with you for a while. Please get along with us. I will leave as soon as I can. The gates will be closed for a while. I'm sorry. You will not be able to leave or enter the town for a while. We apologize for any inconvenience. We will do our best to avoid running out of food, so don't worry about that.

Thank you for your understanding.

Barsam Darke Rinos, King of Agartha

There was much speculation among the citizens, and the city was on the verge of chaos, when soldiers appeared out of nowhere. The citizens watched with bated breath as the soldiers dressed in jet-black armor appeared. When they lined up, they marched in a splendid procession, showing their unrestrained and disciplined movements. The citizens were mesmerized, and in the meantime, under the direction of a man who appeared to be the leader of the legion, the soldiers quickly took up guard at the gates and other major facilities.

With this move, Agartha's army gained the trust of the citizens.

As soon as the army was deployed, Linos and his men were out and about in the city. They found that the city was more destitute than they had expected. Most of the soldiers stationed in the city had left for Agartha, and most of the food stockpiles had been taken away. Linos therefore decided to support the food supply by watching the movements of Lamarron's army near the border.

I enter the deserted pantry by myself and set up a barrier to the city of Agartha. First, I moved to my office and searched for Matkal from there. She was found immediately.

"Master Linos!"

"Oh, Mato. Did you get my note?"

"Yes, I saw. I'm on my way to the pantry.

"Well, there was an empty room in the basement of the pantry, wasn't there? Can you bring it in there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay."

I telegraphed to Luara that I would transfer the supplies from the pantry to Garbee. Ruara gave me the OK immediately.

The guards of Agartha bring the food into the basement. I transfer them to Garbee. This is repeated several times. The pantry, which had been empty, is now filled with supplies.

I go outside and order Knogen to cook the food. It was already past noon.

After some discussion, we decided to cook curry for the night. There was no movement in the capital, and the Lamarong forces near the border were in full retreat, so I helped chop the onions in anticipation of no attack today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The curry was a big hit with the people of Garbee. I made enough for quite a few people, but they were almost all eaten. Over the curry, we had a short meeting to discuss the next day's work and finished the day's work.

I was given my own room in the barracks, where I could finally relax. It seems to be the room used by the commander of this town, with a reception room and an office. Soleil seemed to be exhausted from helping out at the soup kitchen, and she fell asleep on the couch in the reception room.

I go into the office alone, sit down on a chair, and sigh. Just as I was thinking about taking a bath, there is a knock at my office door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's Matkal.

"Hm? Mato? What's wrong? Come in, come in."

Matkal came into the room wearing a full-face helmet for some reason. When he saw me, he took off his helmet.

"What's the matter, Mat? What's with the outfit?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It would not be good for me to be seen by the imperial people."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Some of you may know Mato's face. So what brings you to Garvey?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I was wondering if you would like to meet Master Linos."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Companion? What are you talking about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I was going to leave if everything was all right. I thought that Soleil was working, but when I looked into her room, I found her sleeping on the sofa, drooling. I thought that she would not be able to play with Mr. Linos in that condition, so I came here."

"Oh... I see. That's... thank you."

So..."

Matkal takes off the armor he was wearing. He then took off his shirt and underwear, leaving him naked.

"...Mat?"

I freeze, eyes wide open.

"...A man wants a woman after a battle, right? Since Soleil is asleep, I thought I'd make myself available to you... I can wake her up if you like. Or both of us together. What kind of position do you want us in?"

"Ma... mato... Yeah, I'm fine.

Matkal said that when he was in the Imperial Army, after every battle, the full-figured man and his party would go in search of women. Because he had seen this, he had formed an image of men seeking women after a battle, and he thought that I would be seeking women too.

I don't mind eroticism myself, but it's not good for me when a woman openly seeks me in a brightly lit place. I prefer to do erotic things in the dark and with shame.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...That's why. But Mato, I'm glad you feel that way. Thank you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

With that, I kissed Mato lightly.

"Let's wake up Soleil and go back to the house."

"Hey! You're going back to the mansion?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, we'll set up a transitional ward here and go back to the mansion."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"... I hadn't thought about it at all."

Matkal looks frustrated. Then he puts on his clothes in embarrassment. Today is the day I sleep with Rico. He hugs Riko and sleeps with Eryl on the river.

"Ri... Rinos-sama..."

"Yes, Mato?"

"What you just said... please keep it a secret from Rico-sama."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I guess so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I returned to the imperial mansion with Matkal, laughing and pretending that Soleil wouldn't wake up when I woke her up.
