"That's awesome ......."

I couldn't help but let out a squeal at the sight in front of me. The defense system of the city of Dorga was that perfect. The beautifully arranged moats and walls: ....... It would be extremely difficult to break through them.

Now I was straddling Ilimo's back, looking down on the city of Druga from above. Naturally, we have a ward around us, and since we have given it the effect of assimilating the color of the sky, there is no danger of the enemy discovering us.

Still, the more I look at it, the more I realize what a magnificent fortress it is. The enemy had built it in a week. It is truly a magnificent job, even for the enemy. The very existence of such a talented magician should be a serious threat, but for some reason, my heart was filled with a desire to meet such a talented magician once, rather than such feelings.

No, no, we are in the middle of a battle ....... I told myself, and I stifled the feelings that were welling up in me.

"Hey...... that tickles......."

Suddenly I hear a voice. It's Matkal. She is sitting in front of me, her pen crunched in her hand.

At first, I had planned to go alone on this durga reconnaissance. But when Matkal saw me riding on Ilimo, he insisted that he would go too.

"Just to see the dolga ......?"

"What is it, Mato, what else is there?"

"Why don't you share that information with everyone?"

"Yeah?　What do you mean?"

Matkal told us that he had been trained as a scout during his military service and had experienced it many times in actual battles. He says that he was thoroughly taught to accurately report what he saw to his superiors.

"When you are alone, your feelings and values can get in the way of accurate information," he said. For this reason, reconnaissance should be done by more than one person.

I thought Matocal had a point, so I put her on Ilimo's back and we took off for the city of Dorga.

"Don't fall, Mat!"

"It's okay."

I muttered to myself as I hugged her from behind. Matkal puts a piece of paper on the board in his hand and draws a sketch of the city of Durga with a pen.

"You're good at ......."

"It is essential for a soldier to be able to write down what he sees as he sees it."

She paints the scenery of the city with great dexterity while saying such things. At first, she drew a rough sketch, but then she added little by little. The result is a magnificent picture that looks as if it were captured in a photograph.

"......Sorry. Please don't shake it."

Matocal mutters to no one. Hearing his voice, Ilimo adjusted his wings. The up-and-down rocking stopped suddenly. I hug her tightly.

"Linos-sama, it's okay..."

She smiles bitterly as she says this. I slowly rest my chin on her shoulder so as not to disturb her sketching, and begin to observe the city of Dorga in front of me.

The more I look at ......, the more I realize that it is a magnificent fortress. How would I attack it? No, you can't. The position of the moat and the walls. If you put archers and sorcerers there, you'll get caught in the crossfire. Unless we attack with a large force, we won't be able to break through. In this sense, Lyssen's request for reinforcements of 100,000 men was right in a sense. One of the strategies would be to attack from all directions with a large number of troops and wait for the soldiers inside to get tired. I don't think Lyssen was thinking that far ahead. But that would be too great a sacrifice. We should not take that strategy. Then, how should we attack?

I have a strange feeling when I look at this fortress. There is an indescribable fascination that makes me want to attack this fortress at any cost. If possible, I would like to lead the charge against this fortress. And it makes me want to take this place down no matter what it takes.

"Terrible!"

As if to chide me for my excitement, Matocal mutters quietly. I hold her in my arms and stare at her, moving only my eyes.

"It's a magnificent fortress. It's impregnable, I'd say. It makes my military blood boil.

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

"So, you are too, Mato?"

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

"No, in the past I would have used all my intelligence and all my abilities to bring down this fortress. But I don't feel that way now."

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

"Oh, I see. ......"

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

"So you're ...... because you had a baby. It makes my blood boil, but now I'm more inclined to think that I shouldn't attack."

With these words, she carefully put the picture of Dorga she had been painting away in her pocket.

"We should not touch that fortress. We have no choice but to surround the fortress with a large but humble force, blockade the sea, cut off the food supply, and leave it out in the sun to dry. The best strategy would be to make the enemy think that we have someone on the inside.

"I see. Yes, that's right.

But I have another plan.

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

"Well, what is it?"

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

She doesn't answer my question, but slowly turns her gaze to me and looks me in the eye.

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

"If you put all of your skills ...... into it, you could burn that city to ashes in an instant."

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

"Ah."

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

Indeed. For example, if I attack Ilimo from the back like this now with all my strength, that city will be nothing in an instant, and I am confident that I will do so. But my intuition tells me that I shouldn't do it.

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

"I don't think we should do that."

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

"I agree. I think it's better to keep Mr. Linos' skills thoroughly secret this time."

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

"Why?"

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

A woman's instincts.

"Uh-huh. Actually, I was thinking the same thing. I'm glad you think the same way, too.

I kiss her on the cheek. Matocal turned her face bright red and turned over. Her expression was really cute.

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

"Well, let's go home."

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

"No, wait a minute."

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

"What's wrong?"

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

"That ...... is another fort, isn't it?　I think we should take a look at that, too."

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

"Oh. That thing they built overnight?

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

"We've come all this way. It's worth seeing.

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

"Yeah, I guess so."

I tell Ilimo to head west. She immediately senses my intention and turns her wings to the west.

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

"I'm sorry. I know you had a lot of things you wanted to do ......."

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

"No, I don't mind. I was just thinking that I would like to hold Mato like this for a while.

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

"ugh ......"

Matkal turned over, his face turning red again. He put his hand gently on Linos' hand, which was placed on his stomach.

Ilimo's wings move overhead at high speed. Their sweet moment does not last long, and Matkal looks up again to see the scene spread out before him.

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

"...... This place is another fortress."

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

Matkal groaned in his mind. The defenses of the city were no better than those of Dorga, which he had just seen. The sheer brilliance of it all made her forget herself for a moment.

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

"It's even better than I expected. This place is also perfectly made.

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

Linos muttered to no one in particular. Matkal nodded slowly, tickled by the sound of his breath in his ear along with his voice.

"It is ...... troublesome to have to fight a country with two fortresses of this size."

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

"If we attack Dorga, the soldiers of this fortress will attack us from behind. If you attack this fortress, you will be attacked from Durga. ....... Surprisingly, it may be more effective to pull out Dorga at once with a large army.

"Mr. Linos, ......"

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

"I know. I know. A forceful attack can only lead to misfortune. Well, let's see what we can do. ......

"Master Linos, ...... that ...... breath in your ear ...... tickles ......."

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

"Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry... and while you're at it, would you mind sketching this fortress for me?"

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

"Wow. ...... okay. That's what I was going to say. Just don't ...... breathe in my ear. It makes it hard to concentrate."

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

She took a piece of paper out of her pocket again and began to draw the fortress in front of her. In spite of her request to stop, she still felt the tickle of Linos' breath against her ear as she ran her pen across it.
