Chapter 18: Supply Warehouse II

I'm sorry, Simon. It seems we lost the prisoners after all.

Hmm, I see. It seems the sisters of the Catholic faith were not destined to be our allies.

We must inform our troops...

No, it's fine. If this escalates, it could expose Lord Mordred to the 'Holy Experimentation Grounds.'

Sister, you should now lead our forces to join the Salisbury Castle.

Huh? Won't the defense here become weak?

Haha, don't worry, sister. Just go.

But...

Sister, everything happens for a reason.

Understood...

...So they're coming this way?

Heh, I saw it with my own eyes!

I can't understand. If the supply warehouse gets breached, Simon will bear all the responsibility.

Isn't that a good thing? We could burn the experimentation grounds as well.

I can't grasp what kind of confidence you have.

...In a way, it's a good thing. There's no need to create a pretext to move the troops.

Check again if it's a trap and inform them.

Alright~

Oh, Princess! I'm glad you've returned safely.

No, these people...

Uncle, there's no time! Hurry!

The injured!!

...I didn't expect the Tiamat followers to fill the troop shortage...

The vigilance will become more severe... I'm sorry...

No.

Huh?

According to our contact, the Tiamat followers in the supply warehouse set out to join our main force in front of Salisbury Castle.

Oh, so you've planted a spy?

Ah, Ethan! That maid who helped with the escape, could it be...?

Yes. Her information is reliable. She holds a grudge against Tiamat.

I see where this is going...

The supply warehouse is probably even more vulnerable than when you launched your surprise attack.

In fact, it would lead them to believe that the vigilance has increased due to the prisoner rescue, and our main force has joined Salisbury Castle.

So we can go again?

Yes, if we hold out while a separate squad burns the supply warehouse, this war will be a victory.

We'll take care of things. Sorry for putting you on this mission...

Don't worry. Cornwall has faced worse situations.

Alright, let's set this place ablaze...

It seems a bit early, doesn't it?

You... are you the contact Ian mentioned?

Heh, I'll take that as a yes. If we set this place on fire, those captured for human experiments will be burned alive too, right?

!! So the experimentation grounds the sisters mentioned are here...

Hmm, yes. I'd prefer to burn it down right away, but our old man ordered us to rescue people.

Ethan...

Understood. Everything around here is cleared, so now is the opportunity with the defenses weakened.

Hmm, your quick decision-making is attractive, aren't you?

Um... that term "you" is a bit uncomfortable...

Huh? Why is that uncomfortable, miss?

Ah-ha~ Someone you like?

Ah, no, it's not like that!

...Let's hurry!
