Chapter 20 A spy in the army
The main force of the Northern Kingdom, led by the leader of the orcs, Sarvaga, began to cross the border in a big way after joining up with Moresa and Karante. Obviously, in order to be able to join them as soon as possible, the army did not move in hiding, and the mighty army was easy to detect.
"Is it really okay to invade the enemy's borders so unabashedly?" asked Jassa, who was following the army closely.
"Didn't we already reconnoiter the entire border beforehand, and made sure that the enemy's troops were not ambushing in this area. Callant reassured. "So don't worry. β
"Even so, I always feel that this will not be a trap for the enemy, deliberately emptying the border to let us show our flaws, so that we can grasp the dynamics of the entire crusading army. β
"Even if the other party knows our location, the only people who can avoid your wide-area detection magic are some creatures with low magical power, and the regular army of the South will not have time to attack from outside the range of your magic perception. β
"Well, you're right. Jaswasa seemed to be persuaded by Callant, and nodded silently.
At this moment, three bright magic bullets suddenly appeared in the position in front of the entire army on the right, and these signals could be clearly seen in an area of hundreds of miles.
"The signal of the three primary colors?!Isn't this the signal that the ghost clan will only use for emergency communication... Looking at the sudden conspicuous signal in the distance, Sarwagaga was somewhat surprised.
"General Salvaga, this kind of signal magic should come from the troops in front. The soldier in charge of interpreting the signals and the interrogation reported to him. "Roughly give us the direction of the team. β
"Identify us?!" Salvaga looked at the adjutant beside him suspiciously, "It's strange, it's very strange, it's hard to imagine that it could be a decision made by Belia to identify her position in such a swagger." β
"Mr. Salvaga, are these signals really from them?" Calante approached Zarwagaga on the Earth Dragon.
"Yes. β
"Is there an emergency?"
"I'm using the magic of communication to confirm with the other party... But even if it is confirmed that the enemy will not appear in this area, it is somewhat strange that he cannot reveal his position so blatantly. β
"The people of Salvaga have received contact from the other party, and it seems that they have accidentally launched signal magic, and now the other party has begun to urgently transfer. β
"Mistakenly?!How could such a low-level mistake be... β
"The new meeting point has been told us to meet them there. The soldier who gave the order replied.
"Strange ... It's weird. Salvaga muttered to herself.
"I always felt a sense of foreboding. Calante said to himself......

On the other side, the mixed forces led by Haruka and Belia were speeding through the misty swamp area, and the trolls with their slender limbs and flippers were gliding through the muddy swamp at the same speed as these flying knights, so the march of the whole team did not slow down.
"Lord Belea, and Your Majesty! There are some situations that I would like to discuss with you. As the most loyal knight under Belea, Sylander suddenly flew to the front of the team on a demonic beast, and whispered to Haruka and Belia.
"What's the matter, Siland?" Belia glanced at Yao, and then the three of them controlled their mounts to suddenly rise in height, and the distance between them and the large army was tens of meters.
"I secretly investigated just now, and the soldier who fired the demon signal to His Majesty before was not a ghost knight. β
"What?!, not from the Oni Clan?"
"That's right, it's impossible for our ghost knights to make such a low-level mistake, according to the soldier's answer, it was a guy who had never seen it before informed the signal soldier that it was His Majesty who personally requested the launch of the magic signal that would reveal our whereabouts. β
"Wait a minute, that's not what I'm hearing, the soldier is clearly saying that he has spotted our army and needs to ask Belia if she wants to send a magic signal to inform your allies. β
"In other words, the soldier intended to induce His Majesty to give the order to launch the Demon Signal from the beginning... Siland replied.
"Someone got into our ranks?"
"Yes, when we investigated later, we found that there was no such herald at all, and it was most likely that enemy spies were lurking in our ranks. Siland said with a serious face.
"How is it possible, the warriors of the ghost clan are all with absolute glory. It is impossible to betray ... Belia denied it.
"Although I don't think it's right to suspect others behind this, those trolls who have sworn allegiance to His Majesty are the most suspicious. Siland said. "Especially the mutant troll Morse, who seems to be able to use simple illusion magic, and it would be easy to disguise a troll as a ghost soldier. β
"How could such a thing happen?!" Haruka's face was full of stunned.
"After all, we don't know their details at all, although they keep saying that they swore allegiance because His Majesty killed the Lord of the Swamp, but all this seems too logical, if these trolls are deliberately disguised as loyal to the South Country... β
"Indeed, Shillander's analysis makes a lot of sense, and it is too suspicious to suddenly appear at this point in time and ask to join us. Belia seemed to agree with Sylander's statement.
"Those trolls ... Is it really a spy of the South Country? Haruka looked down at the trolls below, and couldn't help but feel uneasy......
