Everyone decided to sort out the current information.

"First of all, we need to understand the circumstances of the incident." Li En said.

"Well, this is very important. First of all, the surveillance tower was attacked around 0:00 in the morning."

"Well, the guard's testimony is indeed like this, and something very unnatural happened at almost the same time." Emma said.

"It's an attack on Smith's stronghold, right?" Gaius said.

"According to Cesk, the size of the victims appears to be larger than the surveillance tower."

"In this case, we should rule out the speculation that Smith has done something wrong." Alyssa said.

"But the fact that the empire launched an attack has not been confirmed."

"It is true that both sides were attacked, and the mystery of who launched it has not yet been solved."

"In this case, the most likely thing that can be imagined is..." Jussis; "Is it an existence that does not belong to any party?"

"What exactly is that?"

"That means someone is doing it behind the scenes."

"There is always a certain amount of tension between the Empire and the Smiths, but this Nolde Plateau is like no other."

Jussis: "It is indeed peaceful. There should be no reason for that equilibrium to collapse before last night."

"It's true." Emma said: 'If you consider the current situation, it would do more harm than good.'

"If it's Crossbell's side, it's another matter."

"By the way, there is something unnatural about the attack on the surveillance tower. Someone must have done something secretly." Alyssa said.

"The attack itself is unnatural. Are you talking about the weapon used to attack Alisa?"

"Yes, that's right. That weapon is most likely from RF Company. It's really hard to imagine that Smith would be equipped with that kind of weapon."

"After all, Smith also owns Unur Company, which is no less important than RF Company."

"Well, the equipment over there is all from Unur, and I think the weapons used should be type nine equipment that the empire doesn't provide now."

Alyssa: "Some mercenaries sometimes get the exported goods and just use them."

"In this case, it is really unlikely that one of the parties planned it." Emma said.

Jussis: "Well, there's a more important question right now."

"what is the problem?"

"That's right." Rean said, "Where did it attack from, right?"

"Well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out." Alyssa said.

"But if we can't find a reason, the reasoning so far is meaningless," Jussis said, "it means there is no reason to prevent the current situation."

Rean said: "That's true."

Gaius: "It's too big to aimlessly look for the Nord Plateau."

"It shouldn't be in time for the time we made an appointment with Sikes."

Emma said: "It's hard to find a way to find it. If classmates Alyssa and Gaius can help," Emma said.

"Um?"

"How to do it?"

"The surveillance tower was damaged, as well as the speed and track." Emma said.

"Calculate the wind power again, and you may be able to find the approximate location based on the above factors."

Rean said: 'Really?'

"This matter is not as simple as you said." Jussis said.

"No, I will try to find a way." Emma said: "Alyssa, do you know the details of this weapon?"

"Yeah, I know. Although it's an old model, I know the general specifications."

"Haha, great, then let's explore while you talk to me."

Gaius; "Well, I understand."

After everyone explored it for a while, Emma said: "I know, I think the attack will be south of here.

According to the map, it should be approximately within this range, and after calculation, it should not be too far from the location of this surveillance tower."

Li En said: "As expected of the squad leader."

Yosis said: "Honestly, this is not something that can be calculated based on what you learn in class."

"It even makes people think that Regnitz's antagonism towards the squad leader is ridiculous."

"This doesn't happen anymore, because we have the help of classmates Alyssa and House Builder." Emma said, "Machi is also very good."

"But thanks to you, we got important clues." Alyssa said.

"It would be better to finish the investigation quickly and rush over immediately," Gaius said.

"Let's go." Rean said.

Soon everyone arrived at the location summarized by Emma.

"Okay, then hurry up and find the attack location." Rean said.

"According to the squad leader's speculation, we should look for a place where no one would normally go and where the terrain is particularly rugged, right?" Gaius said.

"While checking the map, let's look for suspicious places," Emma said.

"Will the criminal who launched the attack be there?" Alyssa said.

"Huh, I have to find it anyway." Yosis said.

Everyone came to the bottom of a platform.

"There is actually a rope ladder in a place like this. It must have been placed so neatly here by humans," Yousis said.

"Is there a village construction site nearby?"

Gaius: "No, I haven't heard of it."

'It's really suspicious. The top is the point of attack, isn't it?'

Rean said: "It is indeed very possible, but what should we do if we go up there?"

"It's really a bit troublesome to be in such a high place." Yosis said.

"Is there no other way?"

Emma said: 'Well, I have a suggestion. Why don't you try using Alyssa's guided bow?'

"What does it mean?"

"Well, I was thinking if I could accurately attack the rope that tied the rope ladder." Emma said, "The ladder can be lowered smoothly."

Alyssa: "Well, I think it's a bit forced."

"Ah hahaha, that's right." Emma said.

"But there is really no good way." Rean said.

"Yeah, I don't have any extra time, let's try it."

“It feels like a waste of time to pick up any tools.”

"That's right. I know and give it a try."

Alyssa shot away with a guided bow.

Sure enough, he dropped the rope ladder.

"This skill is so good, I feel like you can become a hunter." Gaius said.

"Well, it's so awesome and deserves praise." Yosis said.

Emma: 'As expected of Alyssa's classmate.'

"Then let's go up and confirm."

Soon, after everyone went up, they found RF weapons placed on the top high ground.

"found it."

Alyssa: "It is indeed an old model of RF, and yes, there are traces of recent use on it."

Emma: "Hiding in a place like this."

"I see, it looks like a blind spot from here." Gaius said, "We took advantage of the darkness to launch an attack, put the things where they were and escape."

"This should be."

Jussis: "But this alone can't explain anything. Smith's side may think that the empire put it there."

"Same." Li En said, "I hope we can find more clues."
