Chapter 135 – 6-Academy (73)
The Certina family’s military base is built near the lord’s castle and is where soldiers and knights commute.
As it is near the lord’s castle, they can be summoned and run at any time if there is a problem with the lord’s castle, and they divide the knights and soldiers to protect the lord’s castle even at night.
Their main job is to arrest and manage criminals, and to deal with problems that adventurers or mercenaries cannot solve.
In addition, the soldiers and knights are all armed with rare magic tools, as befits a member of a prestigious family of magic, and can receive plenty of support from wizards at any time, so in my opinion, the soldiers are strong enough to be in the top 10 even compared to the whole country. .
In addition, most of the knights maintain a fairly good intermediate level, and the number easily exceeds 100.
If you recall that the standard is for low-ranking knights to be able to use magic outside their bodies, and that’s why knights aren’t always numerous, you can see how great this number is.
However, compared to other prestigious families, the soldiers and knights of the Certina family are lacking in skilled knights, and are called heretics by the knights of other families.
Intermediate knights definitely exist, and their skills and performance are good.
Nevertheless, the reason why Certina family knights are called heretics by other knights is that the target they work for and loyal to is a prestigious family related to sorcery, so all the knights are armed with magic tools and tend to rely on magic tools.
In addition, the right knight of this era is a sword and shield of protection that protects their territory, protects the people, and cuts down enemies invading their territory.
But here, the defense is done with the defense magic circle installed in the magic tower, and the attack is also done with the magic tools for sniper from the magic tower.
In other words, even though they are knights, they are being taken over by wizards to the extent that they have to play the same role as soldiers, and they have no will to fight against them.
Therefore, they were naturally ignored and ostracized by the knights of other territories, and even the training ground and accommodation were included in the military base of ordinary soldiers, not inside the lord castle.
In this world, a knight is a top-notch military officer, a representative means to show the power of each territory, and also serves as a face madam like the idol (?) Of each territory.
Therefore, the pride and pride of the knights are all excellent, regardless of the territory, so the distinction between soldiers and knights is clear, and the treatment is also different.
However, here, the knight is treated as a slightly superior soldier and uses the same accommodation as the soldiers in the same training ground.
To the knights of other territories, it’s ridiculous and shouldn’t have happened, but the knights of this territory just accept it.
No, since the knights of the Certina family knew about this and became knights in the first place, they had no thoughts of fighting against it.
Because the reason the current method was created was none other than the heads of the Certina family.
As a noble family in magic, they had continued this way and had no problems, so they did not feel the need to treat and nurture the knights.

This is the story of the Certina family knights that Ruri told me before infiltrating.
Ruri said, ‘The knights of our territory use a combat method that relies on magic tools, so if the magic tools are broken or broken, or if the magic tools themselves cannot be activated, their combat ability will decrease.’ He advised me to concentrate on targeting magic tools.
The children who had listened to that advice infiltrated the military base to get information, and I was secretly watching the lord castle of the Certina family, not the military base.
To be more precise, we split the infiltration team into two due to the ominous possibility that came from the combination of the lack of time and the information I brought.
At first, I didn’t intend to share it like this, even for the sake of attacking Squall and Hati, but I was rather interested in interesting objects installed in the basement that were detected by my electromagnetic waves, and I found new possibilities for attacking with Squall’s TS, so I boldly divided the team. .
Having collected information on my own, I proudly said that I would enter the castle, and now, before entering the castle, I went up to one of the houses in the darkened village and watched the castle while eating a sandwich.
“Yum yum… This is barely enough to stick in my stomach! It’s moderately tasteless.”
[Certainly, the sandwich Rubel made was a visual that even I, who had never tasted and was sealed, would be reluctant to eat]
The sandwich in my hand was made by Rubel, but it was moderately tasteless, so it was suitable for sticking in my stomach, and I ate the whole sandwich and got up from my seat.
“I wasn’t particularly hungry, but I’ve filled my stomach with this, so shall we start soon?”
[Whiz? Weren’t you going to go in when the other kids made a fuss? I thought that with your personality, you’d make your job easier by letting the kids make a fuss even when they’re quiet.
Darkness calmly drove me into an affair, but I wasn’t seduced in the slightest.
“You idiot! If you do as you say, the fun I can feel will be halved! Originally, there are appropriate guards standing in an infiltration like this, so it’s fun!”
[Indeed, this can be said to be part of the game! Haha!]
At the answer I shouted out, Darkness burst out laughing in satisfaction, and I slowly got up from my seat, covering my ears to Darkness’s voice.
“Whoa… By this time, the kids must have started, so let’s really start!”
[Oh!]
After shaking off my hands, I fell lightly from the roof.
Currently, the number of people guarding the castle is 100 soldiers and 30 knights. At first glance, it looks like a lot, but the real obstacles are not these guys, and with my skills, I can infiltrate them before they react.
However, I carefully watched the huge wall of the lord’s castle from some distance while hiding.
That lord’s castle was built and repaired in the Mage Tower.
And I don’t think at all that the wizards, the seekers of the truth (laughs), who live with doubts and doubts and the worst assumptions, wouldn’t have installed protective magic by trusting the knights and soldiers.
So, to be more prudent, I asked Darkness.
“Hey Darkness, what kind of magic do you think you’re protecting?”
Darkness is definitely a demon king like that (?) And is currently a spirit.
That’s why I wondered if I could detect magic.
[Whiz? I can’t do that! Even if you look at it like this, I was one of the physical demon lords? Do I have knowledge about magic?]
“…Yes, I’m a fool for expecting it”
As I made up my mind not to trust Darkness once again at Darkness’ confident words, I thought about the intrusion route.
“First of all, the protection magic mentioned in the original work was detection magic, interception magic, warning magic, sonic magic, etc., And the means to avoid it were…”
Recalling all the protection magic mentioned in the original work, I began to think about how to completely invade.
“It’s ambiguous to just break through, but it’s too noisy to break the magic circle, so it’ll stand out, and besides, it’ll be able to block invisibility and illusions enough. It’s not prestigious for nothing.”
[It’s a lot of trouble and complicated! If it were me, in a situation like this, I would have blown up the entire area! In my prime as the Demon King, I was able to destroy a wide area while destroying the ground with a single punch!]
“Stop bragging about yourself and shut up for a bit… No! It’s land, so that’s good!”
Hearing Darkness’ words, a flashing sensation swept through my body, and I immediately thought of a good idea.
“It’s the ground! I’m going to break the ground!”
In this world, tools for digging are limited, and magic tools are also full of types accompanied by great noise.
That’s why, among protective magic, there is no magic to guard the ground.
In other words, if I dig into the ground at once with my ability, it is possible to infiltrate without being caught.
“Okay good! Let’s start right now!”
[Wait for a sec! If you’re really going to go to the ground, what are you going to do with the hole!?]
Even Darkness seemed to be taken aback by my current cry, but right now it’s first to dig a hole in the ground.
That’s why I planted my hand in the ground and used the lightning as it was, bringing the Parsi’s title of pitch-black darkness (S) that I had met before and introduced myself as one of the four heavenly kings.
When I took the title, darkness began to form on my back along with the feeling that something was growing behind me.
The darkness, which looked ominous just by looking at it and made me feel disgusted, felt rather cozy because I was going to use it myself.
“Okay! This is enough!”
I started twisting the ground using lightning as it was.
The metal powder and iron powder mixed in the Certina family’s territory were dragged here using lightning as it is, and then made to adhere to the ground and give strong force to create an artificial passage.
It was extremely inefficient to twist and maintain the ground with powerful lightning to keep the passage from collapsing, and it was so ignorant that it would be better to just find another way, but I didn’t feel any hesitation.
Looking at the 500m long passage I created, I just smiled.
