Chapter 5 The Truth

"As everyone knows, after His Majesty the Demon King and we were separated, we were attacked by the enemy with precision, don't you think it's strange?" Morse asked rhetorically.

"Strange, what's strange? Isn't it because you betrayed our position that the enemy attacked us?" said Belia.

"In that case, why didn't the enemy attack us the first time they fired the signal magic? ”

"Maybe we were out of range of the enemy, after all, even now, we still can't detect the enemy's location within kilometers of wide-area perception magic, is that okay?" replied Zarvaga.

"And we started moving very quickly after firing the signal magic, and in that case it was difficult for the enemy to react quickly. Belia added.

"Yes, there is no problem with the speculation of both of them, the enemy did not attack directly, in fact, there were some factors that prevented them from moving, and for a long time after the march, the enemy never attacked. ”

"What do you mean. ”

"I mean, the enemy also seems to be waiting for an opportunity, a moment when he can clearly locate His Majesty's position. ”

"Wait a minute... I kind of understood what he meant. Calant suddenly interjected, "It's the fog! the thick fog that covers the swamps and is hard to disperse! It's the ones that block the enemy's grasp of Haruka's position!!"

"Yes, as long as the knights of the nobility continue to march with us and keep flying at a low altitude, it will be difficult for the enemy to grasp the approximate position of the team, and it will not be able to attack us from a long distance. ”

"But... It's because there are enemy spies in the team that we split up... Belea's face suddenly turned very ugly, and she was somewhat aware of the mistake she had made.

"Although it is only my personal speculation, it is very likely that the spy has already exposed His Majesty's whereabouts to the enemy after the first release of the signal magic, so that the enemy is ready to attack in advance. However, because we had to march with our people, the whole team was hidden in the fog, so that the enemy could not pinpoint our tracks, so the spy bit back, decided that we were the spies of the West Country, forced the two sides to separate, and then deliberately raised the flight altitude of the Knights above the fog in the name of safety. "Morse's analysis seems to be very synergistic.

"In addition, I have passed the previous wide-area perception magic, and I am sure that there is no enemy ambush within a few kilometers, so I am even more negligent about the attack from the air... Savaga muttered to herself.

"This... How is this possible ... Could it be that there is a traitor within the ghost clan? . . Belia said noncommittally, she couldn't believe that the supposed spy was actually one of her own people.

"At that time, the knight named Sylander, who repeatedly provoked our relationship with His Majesty and constantly demanded that we move separately, is the most suspicious. Morse said directly by name.

"Shillander... ?!Impossible.. He... He should have ... ”

"Shillander... I remember him as your most trusted subordinate, and in previous contacts, I could feel that his loyalty to you was absolutely genuine. Salvaga said.

"Ah, I'm a little bit impressed with that person, I don't like to talk much, and I feel cool all the time. Jasmine seemed impressed with him as well.

"Then the question is, where is this Siland now?" said Calant, and all eyes were on Belia.

"At that time, we were attacked by the enemy, and in order to protect Haruka, Siland volunteered to become a meat shield in front of him, but you should understand that Haruka would never let his companions die in front of him, so he who could have left turned back and was swept up in the enemy's energy wave with Sylander. Belia lowered her head and said slowly.

"The whereabouts of such a long distance are largely inseparable from this guy named Siland. Callante said.

"Indeed, all suspicions point to one point, and it is very likely that Sylander is a traitor in that ranks, and that His Majesty's has always been planned by him. ”

"Impossible... How could Shilland betray me... Belia still couldn't accept this fact, and her expression almost collapsed.

"Now is not the time to collapse, Your Majesty is likely to fall into the hands of the enemy, we must immediately launch an operation and search with all our might!!"

"So, can the suspicions about our people be dispelled now?" Morse raised the shackles in his hand and swung towards Savaga.

"Well, as you said, you are innocent at the moment. Salvaga gestured to the two knights beside him, and they immediately unshackled Morse.

"Thank you for your understanding ... ”

"But I still can't fully trust you, after all, this is a battlefield, and even the most trustworthy subordinates will betray themselves, let alone you who have nothing to do with us before. ”

"I understand that we will do our best to do our job without hindering you until we have fully gained your trust. Morse bowed deeply to the group before slowly exiting the tent......
