Another few days had passed since Sheila officially asked him to rescue the Knights of the Order.
　Sheila had told him the schedule of the Kingdom Knights' activities in the future. And the Knights were working as Sheila had told them.
　Most of the Kingdom Knights were gathered together, all members wearing slave collars and waiting in camps in the vicinity of the Holy Republic.
　He watched the encamped Knights through a telescope from a distance.


'They're going to war, aren't they?'


　Kåñëa handed me the telescope she'd finished looking through and said.


''Ah. According to Sheila, the Knights decided to go to war on their own, overpowering the royalty and civilian officials, according to Sheila. It's practically a coup d'état.''
Those who are supposed to be loyal to you are just pathetic.
'Well, they've got me wearing a slave collar. As soon as the top few in the Order rise up against us, there will be no more forces to resist.


　Most of the members of the First, Second and Third Knights are forced to wear slave collars.
　To eliminate the cowering feet from cowering at the risk of their own will and lives.


'But are you sure?　It's against a single country ...... and that's almost the entire strength of a powerhouse called the Kingdom of Kuzela.
I'm aware of that. And they're the ones who used to be my friends. That's why I called them here, so they wouldn't hurt you unnecessarily.


　A total of over a dozen adventurers were gathered further back from me and Kåñëa.
　These are the skilled adventurers we asked Riff to help us with.
　They are all from countries that do not get along well with the kingdom.


It's not a guild related activity, but the Imperial Branch's Gilmouth is paying us well, so we'll do our job well.


　That's what he said, a man with thick body hair. He has black hair like me and the brown eyes common on the continent.
　His name is Didge.
　He usually works in the Weyla Empire.
　He seems to be an adventurer who has earned quite a few points in the A rank.


''Yes, reliable.''
"S-ranked you can't compete with me. Yeah. Here he is.


　Didge said and brought the knight he was carrying in front of me.
　The knight was wearing a gag and a rope tied roughly.
　Blood was coming from his hands and feet.
　But these aren't the scars Didge gave me when he caught me. But that doesn't mean the rope is tight enough to bleed.
　The knight is resisting with his lightless eyes.
　As a result, blood is oozing from his limbs.


''I've heard about it, but it's terrible. They attacked us as soon as they saw us.
'They were ordered by slave collars. They wouldn't be attacking you because they wanted to, either.
I see. Is this what a kingdom is like?
No, I've heard that civilian officials and diplomats and royalty don't get any bad press. Just that the military service is too bad.
What's that, the royals can't do anything about it?
Apparently he didn't, but the real power is held by the leader of the First Order. So as I said before, it's a coup, this is a coup d'etat.


　I put my hand on the group member's collar as I explain exactly what I've heard from Riff and Sheila.
　That's good. It's the same model as mine.
　But that's not the only thing I want to try this time. There's something else I want to try.


　It's easy to pour magic power directly into a person's hand. However, if you take your hand away, the difficulty level increases.
　Originally, the state of touching is more reliable and the magic power consumed can be suppressed.
　However, opponents are the majority, and it takes more time and effort to disarm them by touching them every time.
　The one I had gotten in my previous hand was broken. There was only one, and this is how I'm going to test it in a real battle.


　The same goes for the magic circuitry.
　The same goes for the magic circuitry.


　Yeah.


　The collar came off with a chirping sound.
　Okay, we've got it.


Awesome. I know it's a mixture of the originals, but it's still a slave collar, isn't it? If you can do this, you don't need us.
No, no, no, I don't think we can do that over a wide area and against a lot of people yet.
Huh, I see. So that's where we buy ourselves some time.
'Yes. That's about the job description. Well, first of all, I'm going to take down the big head honcho who's giving me orders, but I'll take care of that.


　When I was having a conversation, a light came into the eyes of the exhausted group member and he looked around clearly. And as soon as she saw me, she said some words.
　I'm not going to be able to tell the difference between the two.


'I know. I'll take it off.


　The gag and rope are removed.
　He staggered up without a sign of escape or resistance.


'You can go to ......'
'We're here to stop the Order. You must be tired now. Get some rest.
'......?　Ha, yes. Thank you ...... thank you .......

　The group members fell asleep without a second to say it.
　How dare they think to start a war with a force that is so fatigued? Even though we are forcing them to move, don't you know that they will be rattled sooner or later?
　Well, we're going to make sure it doesn't come back to haunt us.


Then let's go. As much as possible, please do not hurt the group members and neutralize them.
'Who do you think you're talking to? I'll take care of it.
Oh. These guys have no problem playing around.


　Enough enthusiasm. Let's get started.
