Moments before the entourage of the accompaniment of Saintess came out of the city of Timan.
"you're late Bulldog"
"there are some distractions on the way"
Inside a basement, several people had gathered. With black robes covering their entire bodies, not a single identity could be seen from their appearance.
"we also got extra work"
"what did you say Owl?"
"some of our client members have been caught, they made a request for diversion"
"is the target of the 'diamond' group'?"
"right"
"are you crazy!? do you know if we touch 'diamonds', what can happen to us!?"
After hearing the words of one of his friends called by the name 'Owl', the black-robed man shouted questioning the management that had been taken.
"calm 'Crow'..."
"what do you mean, calm down!?"
"listen to the explanation first"
People called 'bulldogs' cut and mediate the existing feud.
"say! if the reason doesn't make sense..."
"our goal is to buy time 'diamonds' right?"
"yes, then?"
"there will be no change of plans, we will not immediately intervene as we have prepared. All will be done by monsters - monsters"
"well, continue"
"our own clients will act in the midst of the unrest. Whatever trouble they're gonna have, we're gonna get our hands off"
"what if they get caught!? will they lead to our identity"
"uh! no way, even you yourself don't know a single one of our identities here"
"just calm down 'Crow'.we don't intervene directly, and our goal remains in line"
Hearing that, the black-robed person called 'Crow' did not voice his opinion anymore.
"how about you? what problems are you facing?"
'Owl' spoke and asked in the direction of the 'bulldog'.
"people from another world, they follow me wherever I go. I've killed them many times, but they always come back"
"yes, the concept of death is not on them, you have to make them fall so that they do not come back to life again"
"not in this town, 'diamonds' are here"
"ah, I'm sorry, I forgot about that"
"then we get back to the topic, what about the 'gear' you're after?"
...----------------....
On the other hand, in the depths of the forest outside the city of Timan. Before the gathering of people in black clothes gathered.
The army general from the fled Moscard kingdom, now has many followers around him.
At first there were only a few people accompanying him, but if seen, more than 100 people can be seen around him.
"general report! The five captured leaders, who did so was the leader of the sacred knight of the Lorena kingdom, Saron Arterick"
"what!? didn't I tell you to be careful in your actions!? Saintess is on her way from the capital, they must have passed the road to the city of Timan, didn't I tell you to stay away from the highway!?"
The general shouted at the report of his men that had just been delivered.
Their goal from the start was to gather mercenary troops and to act as the Moscard royal army moved to take over their captured city.
For some reason, the current movement of the general has turned into a bandit plot around the city of Timan.
"what was the fate of those caught? were they taken to the city of Timan?"
"really generals, they were taken by the Saintess' entourage into the city"
"Call Hidjack and Kenopi! get them to meet me, hurry!"
"fine general!"
The man ran out of the room.
The general's place is on its own like a cave that has been arranged as their temporary residence. It was a cave located in the middle - the middle of the depth of the 'Green Cloud' forest, a few kilometers from the city of Timan.
The general and his troops were forbidden to enter the holy royal city of Lorena. As a result, they made their own place in the depths of the forest.
"what's the general?"
The two men who had been summoned came to meet the general in his room. The general had prepared with ordinary clothes without frills - the embellishment of the soldier's equipment.
"Hidjack, are you a true trader?"
"that's right, leader"
Unlike the person called Kenopi, Hidjack is a trader who has collaborated with the general. That person also called the general by the title of leader rather than the title of the rank in possession.
"and you can enter the city of Timan easily. Take me and Kenopi into town, if it's just a few hours, it won't matter to you"
"it will be a little difficult with Saintess in the city, but I will work on it"
The general and Kenopi prepared and did not wear any of their soldiers' equipment. They only wore the clothes of ordinary people on their bodies.
Hidjack was a merchant who could enter and exit Timan easily, but the general himself who was with his army could not do this.
For their needs, Hidjack will perform the task of channeling from the city of Timan with the army of generals. The face of the general and his troops had been recognized by the Timan city guards, so they would have difficulty entering the city.
The general, knowing about it, asks Hidjack to take him into town disguised as part of Hidjack's merchant.
What the general said 'a few hours' was the word for them not to meet the guards - the city guards of Timan.
"show me your identity!"
"please sir"
The hijack that had arrived in front of the entrance gate of Timan city was checked by the guards.
"ah, you're from the Cember trading company"
"haha right sir, I'm one of the company's people"
"who're they? also show identification-mark"
"ah, I'm sorry sir, they're the people our company has hired. They're villagers, here's the permit sir, you can see for yourself"
The guard checked the letter Hidjack gave him.
After checking the veracity of the letter, the gatekeeper let them enter the city.
After Hidjack takes the general and Kenopi to a corner of the city, they arrive at a building that has a Pout sign on it.
"we're up to the general"
The general and Kenopi got off the horse-drawn carriage.
"well, get your employees information about our friends who got caught and wait for us here. Kenopi, follow me"
"good general"
"good leader"
The general and Kenopi went down through the city. The way they act is very heart-hearted. Many city guards patrolled every place, in that the Saintess was in this city.
"it would be difficult to find information if it was like this, we would split up to search for information of our captured soldiers"
"well general, then, I'll go this way"
They both split up to different places. The general searched every bar and restaurant around the city.
It would be difficult if searching for information directly to the residence Saintess was currently in. What else to ask directly to the soldiers - the soldiers around the city, their faces have been known, so the general can only search for information in public areas only.
A few hours passed with their search for information.
Right now, the general was sitting quietly in the room. That place is one of the rooms owned by the Cember company.
There are only three of them at the moment. The three of them were silent. None of them spoke.
"general, I followed you because of the benefits of the cooperation we've put in place. If things change in an unwanted direction, we cannot continue our cooperation further"
"i understand, then help me to last"
The general, Kenopi and Hidjack have gathered information on the whereabouts of their captured friends.
Not only have accusations been dropped on their friends who were caught, that they were bandits, but their identity as Moscard's royal soldiers has also been known.
Their friends who were caught were not in the confinement of Timan city, but were held in the name of Saintess the ruler of the kingdom of Lorena and brought with them.
In response to the General, they were brought to bear witness in the upcoming meeting of the three leaders. The Saintess may have led them to compound the wrongs possessed by the Moscard kingdom.
At present, the progress of the peaceful movement that took place was still at a dead end. The kingdom of Moscard is still trying to restore the city of H'rden, back to their hands.
But with their captured soldiers, not only escaped from the city, entered the territory of other kingdoms without report, and most severely, the, as a bandit who commits crimes on the child and the guard troops of the leader of another royal city.
It could weigh on Moscard's kingdom even further and the return of their fortified city will be even smaller.
Given this alone, the mistake made by the general and his troops, was already very large.
