Chapter 165: The Departure for the Entrance Line Base

The synopsis of the earlier chapter.

“Uhm… this story is fiction. Really–…” (Karen)

“No, no. By the way in which, it relies on the scenario, and that is the place you learn it from, Karen.” (Sirius)

“Hmm? So, am I alleged to learn that Reus-Oniichan is proposed by Julia-Oneechan, numerous monsters come to the frontline base, and a soldier comes into the convention room to inform about it in a rush? Properly…” (Karen)

“No… it’s superb already. That has been advised.” (Fia)

—

“The-there is an emergency contact from the entrance line base! The Demonic continent and this continent have out of the blue related, and it appears that evidently there are monsters sufficient to fill the bottom and they’re approaching Sandor!” (Soldier)

Primarily based on the report from the soldier who out of the blue got here in, the convention room had change into noisy once more. It is likely to be a pure response as a result of hordes of monsters had been approaching, however Sandor was a rustic that had been combating them each time Flood occurred. Nonetheless, the response of the necessary folks was intense sufficient to be mentioned that it was extreme.

“That’s absurd!? It’s nonetheless too early regardless of the circumstances could also be!” (?)

“However, did you truly get the report?” (?)

“No, there may be additionally a chance of misinformation. I’ll contact the entrance line base instantly to verify if there may be actually a flood…” (?)

For starters, the Flood was a phenomenon through which a considerable amount of monsters inhabiting the Demonic continent got here throughout a land when that continent and the Hypne continent, the place we had been now, had been related by land that appeared like a tide. Nonetheless, the Flood occurred in a couple of decade. For the reason that final Flood occurred a couple of years in the past, at the very least it wouldn’t occur for one more 5 years. In different phrases, the necessary folks had been disturbed due to the inconceivable scenario. Since a few of them contacted their troopers, after the Sandor King smacking his lips, he rebuked everybody.

“All of you, in the event you solely need to make racket, simply shut up! Oi, how’s the scenario over there? You must inform in detailed!” (King)

“Sure! I didn’t see the monsters with my eyes, however I heard from the watchtower early within the morning…” (Soldier)

The watchtower appeared to be a tall tower constructed on the wall on the place that was closest to the Demonic continent. Because the title steered, it was a tower that monitored the scenario on the Demonic continent. If there was anomaly, the data was instantly transmitted to Sandor via the entrance line base. Everybody saved silent because the listened to the report, but it surely appeared that it was extra severe than anticipated.

“At midnight, there was a loud noise heard from the path of the Demonic continent. A land appeared from the ocean, and it appeared this continent and that continent had been related. It’s utterly just like the Flood…” (?)

“On this world, issues that appear inconceivable can occur. If it’s the similar because the Flood, do it as ordinary with out getting panic. I’m certain the folks over there know that.” (King)

“In truth… in response to the report, the looks of the monsters was clearly irregular. Not to mention Orcs and Ogres, goblins had been armed as properly. Moreover, they confirmed a managed motion identical to human…” (Soldier)

“What did you say!?” (King)

Goblins with low intelligence held an instinct to choose up and use weapons utilized by folks and affordable branches. Nonetheless, it was uncommon for weapons utilized by folks to fall into the Demonic continent. Due to this fact, there ought to be lots of them with out weapons, however in response to the report, all humanoid monsters had weapons corresponding to swords and spears. Along with that, monsters ought to assault based mostly on their intuition, however apparently, they show an look of organising shields and shaped a formation. On high of kit that shouldn’t be there, the scenario that displayed a managed motion was clearly an irregular scenario.

“There aren’t solely monsters filling the bottom floor, there are additionally varied monsters and medium-sized dragon that may fly within the sky. Maybe, the primary wall is already…” (Soldier)

“It’s in all probability collapsing. The second wall is unlikely to maintain up an excessive amount of, so the entrance line base is usually in unhealthy scenario.” (King)

With a purpose to assault Sandor from the Demonic continent facet, they need to break via all 4 partitions. The wall, which had a watchtower nearest to the Demonic continent, was referred to as the primary wall. The second wall was the place a mid dimension battle potential was stationed. Then, the frontline base, which had probably the most battle potential, was the ultimate protection of the Sandor citadel and the city.

Within the case of the Flood, the primary wall was used to find out the scale of the monsters. Whereas decimating the monsters to some extent, the quantity can be reducing when it went to the second wall. They often stayed again on the wall. If it was the standard Flood, it could be as much as second wall, was it? Or maybe it could attain the entrance line base, but it surely appeared just like the Sandor king had determined that the dimensions of this occasion was prone to surpass even the entrance line base.

“Your Majesty, aren’t you over considering? I don’t suppose the metal walled entrance line based mostly might be worn out simply.” (?)

“Regardless of how a lot monsters are armed, I can’t suppose that they may be capable of break via that base that has survived many crises previously.” (?)

“No, we haven’t instantly appeared on the scale of the monsters, so we must always contemplate concerning the worst scenario. If the assault has began since early within the morning, they in all probability have damaged via the second wall, and the battle could have begun even on the entrance line base.” (Sanger)

It was an enormous plain with none undulation from Sandor to the entrance line base, and regardless of how far folks rode a horse, it could take half a day. It appeared that the soldier, who introduced this crucial data, got here on the quickest pace, whereas changing the horses on the army outpost on the way in which right here, however greater than half a day had already handed. I used to be certain that there was a fierce battle over there proper now. This was not a convention discussing about rebuilding the nation. It was a scenario the place they wanted to handle the monsters and to replenish the entrance line base instantly. That jogged my memory, the entrance line base had…

“Outdated man, did you neglect that the kings are within the entrance line base?” (Sanger)

“Reus’ good friend and lover are additionally there. Father, let’s ship them with a quickest horse in order that we will go to these folks.” (Julia)

“Even in the event you aren’t panic, are you planning to come back again right here earlier than the day ends? So long as they aren’t silly, they’d get away rapidly from there.” (King)

Both manner, because the messenger got here from the entrance line base, the message ought to be handed down. By this time, the leaders of every nation ought to be transferring from the bottom. Once I activated an enlarged scale of [Search], I observed a nostalgic response was approaching… No, he simply got here again to the citadel. After that, the necessary folks, who got punishment, had been despatched out from the room. Within the meantime, the necessary individuals who knew the scenario returned to the room. After they had been about to begin a countermeasure assembly, the door to the convention room was opened and the kings of the international locations appeared.

“There may be an emergency, so please excuse us.” (?)

“Hmm? Oh my, you lastly awakened.” (?)

“Properly, yeah. I overslept a bit, however I’m as what you’ll be able to see. By the way in which, have you ever heard concerning the scenario from my males?” (King)

“Hmmm, I knew it intimately since I returned to this citadel. The report appears to have arrived after we departed from the entrance line base.” (?)

“I assumed one thing occurred when a quick horse overtook us, however I by no means thought that it could be like this.” (?)

“In that case, there’s no want to elucidate. To be sincere, it is a scenario that we will’t afford a lot. I want to ask you to assist, however I can’t power you. We advise all of you to depart the nation quickly.” (King)

The kings of every nation introduced troopers as escorts, however their battle potentials had been minimal at greatest. Above all, it wasn’t concerning the standpoint, however this was an issue of one other nation. Therefore, it was troublesome to ask for assist. Consequently, the Sandor King additionally didn’t anticipate a lot, so he mentioned together with his personal vassals and others kings to depart the nation instantly. The kings of every nation additionally in all probability had given up.

We had been not within the context of Legendia assembly, so the Sandor King advised them to do no matter they needed. He additionally had despatched directions to the necessary folks and troopers. After the Kings left the convention room, I advised the Sandor King that I wanted to speak with my companions. Then, I left the room. Exterior of the convention room, there was a determine of Reese’s father, Cardeas… he was in all probability ready for me to come back out.

“It’s been some time, Sirius. How are you?” (Cardeas)

“I’m good. You look properly too.” (Sirius)

His conduct was of a king since this was a public area, however his eyes had been full of affection.

“I’d prefer to ask you numerous, however I can’t afford to take very long time right here. Are you able to lead me to the place Lifell or your companions are?” (Cardeas)

“Lifell-sama is along with my companions, so I’ll carry you to the room.” (Sirius)

“Please do. By the way in which… I imply, how’s that woman?” (Cardeas)

“If it’s her, she is with Lifell-sama. She was wanting ahead to see you.” (Sirius)

“Hmm!” (Cardeas)

Since he was mentioning about Reese couple of instances with that look, I gave my reply, and he was nodding in satisfaction. On the similar time, I may really feel the strain as if telling me to let him assembly her fast. Then, I returned to the room with Cardeas.

“Welcome again, Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)

“Oh my, you’re along with Tou-san. You’ve gotten lastly come again.” (Lifell)

“That isn’t the way you suppose to speak along with your father. Extra importantly, that woman is…” (Cardeas)

“Sure, sure, I bought it. Reese, come right here.” (Lifell)

“What’s it? Aah…” (Reese)

“Oooh…” (Cardeas)

Reese, who was speaking with Karen and Hina, got here nearer, and the dignified expression Cardeas had collapsed immediately. He was going to embrace Reese with a melting smile of an over-dotting dad or mum, however he remembered that there have been retainers behind him, so he stopped his motion whereas coughing.

“…Sorry, you guys can wait outdoors. I gained’t be attacked on this room.” (Cardeas)

““Sure!”” (?)

The retainers left the room with out even saying one phrase as in the event that they already knew who we had been. After confirming that they had left, this time… when he considered doing it, he observed that there was an individual who he didn’t know, and his motion stopped as soon as once more.

“Hehe, Fia-san and Karen-chan are my buddies, so it’s superb, Tou-sama.” (Reese)

“Re-really? Reese… I missed you!” (Cardeas)

Cardeas, who lastly may act usually, embraced Reese with all his would possibly. Whereas Reese was shocked with Cardeas’ sudden change after an extended absence, she obediently accepted the hug, and he or she put her arms behind her father’s again in delight.

“Ooh… my angel! I haven’t seen you for a bit, and but you may have grown up so cute!” (Cardeas)

“Actually? Nee-sama additionally mentioned the identical factor, however I don’t suppose I’ve modified.” (Reese)

“No, I discover it! You’ve gotten change into an increasing number of like Laura, and your magnificence as a girl is getting extra!” (Cardeas)

As I anticipated, the love that had been piling up for greater than a 12 months had exploded admirably. Reese let her father did what he needed for some time, however he didn’t appear to let him go it doesn’t matter what, she took the small opening and brilliantly slip out.

“Muhh!? Wh-why are you working away!?” (Cardeas)

“If we keep like that, we will’t have a chat, proper? Look, there are individuals who I need to introduce to you, Tou-sama. So, simply bear with it this time… alright?” (Reese)

“…I suppose so.” (Cardeas)

He understood that wasn’t the case, but it surely appeared that he felt like he was rejected by the daughter, and he turned significantly depressed. I additionally would really feel dejected if my daughter rejected me… No, I guessed he was a bit particular case. There have been instances after I was rejected by a cute woman whom I handled like a daughter within the earlier life, however I didn’t get depressed that far.

I would love them to immerse a bit extra within the reunion between a dad or mum and a toddler, however since we had been in a rush, they needed to endure for now. After ending a fast introduction of Fia and Karen, I shared the data and defined to everybody that a big group of monsters was approaching from the Demonic continent.

“I used to be questioning why the temper contained in the citadel had modified rather a lot, however I didn’t anticipate there was such a scenario…” (Emilia)

“It was cancelled, proper? So what are you going to do, Tou-sama?” (Reese)

“Identical to the opposite kings, I’m going to depart Sandor as quickly as I’m prepared. I really feel like we’re abandoning them, however even when we’re serving to, it’s not a giant assist.” (Cardeas)

As a excessive rating particular person, he couldn’t threat the lifetime of his retainers for nothing. Regardless of how unhealthy he felt, it was comprehensible due to his standpoint as a king, so nobody may refute that. Within the meantime, Reus, who had been considering of one thing quietly, interrupted the dialog by asking Cardeas.

“Excuse me… Cardeas-san. Are you aware about Albert and Marina? They’re Foxkin siblings…” (Reus)

“Sure, I find out about them in a letter from Reese. It’s a bit diverting from the discuss, however they’re siblings with glorious characters.” (Cardeas)

“I see. Then, the place are these two? They should have returned collectively…” (Reus)

The rationale Reus couldn’t relax was in all probability as a result of he couldn’t sense the odor of Albert and Marina. I couldn’t discover the siblings’ reactions from [Search], and how Cardeas who appeared having difficulties to speak about it…

“These two… remained on the entrance line base. They’re combating along with the Beast King who mentioned that he was going to cease the monsters.” (Cardeas)

“Haa!? Wh-what did you say!?” (Reus)

It is likely to be as a result of there was a standard topic who was us, it appeared Albert and Marina had been getting alongside properly with the Beast King. Albert didn’t solely make buddies with the Beast King, he additionally made buddies with Keith, the son of the Beast King. He mentioned that he couldn’t abandon his buddies and stayed with them. In fact, Marina wasn’t going to depart her brother.

“I’ve tried to cease them. However I couldn’t say something once they checked out me with severe eyes, telling that they couldn’t be like that to themselves.” (Cardeas)

“That bastard Al. Why are you going via all these troubles?” (Reus)

“I perceive that you simply need to grievance, however I don’t suppose Albert need to hear that from you.” (Fia)

“I don’t suppose that he’s making mistake if he retreats since he talked about his upcoming baby and his spouse who was ready in his hometown, however… leaving younger males with good prospects doesn’t give me an excellent feeling both.” (Cardeas)

It was good when one wasn’t married and on their solution to the battlefield, however as all the time, he was a disciple who stood up in opposition to an disagreeable flag. He is likely to be a person who born underneath such a star. To start with, why the Beast King, who was a king of a rustic, stayed on the entrance line base? It was in all probability as a result of Arbitray, the nation of the Beast King, was on the identical continent as Sandor. If Sandor was destroyed, the subsequent nation was extremely prone to be focused. There was no mistake that he was both making an attempt to verify the dimensions of the enemies or he needed to battle in a spot with excessive preparation of battle potentials and protection. The Beast King, who was spoiled when it got here to the daughter, was often a relaxed King.

By the way in which, I understood that my acquaintances had been there. What we might do in future was… actually, had been determined. Reus had been anxiously me since some time in the past, so I nodded to inform him it could be superb.

“Aniki…” (Reus)

“I perceive, you don’t have to have a look at me like that. If they don’t seem to be coming again, we solely have to go to them. Relying on the scenario, we’d be capable of assist them.” (Sirius)

This is likely to be as a result of Reus development and I had deserted Albert within the final incident. So, as an alternative of watching over, Reus, who heard that we had been going to assist them, hit his fists with a smile whereas displaying his tooth. Nonetheless, the place we had been going was a entrance line base the place hordes of monsters had been closing in. Naturally, the one who was stuffed with motivation was Reus. Nonetheless, Princess Lifell and Cardeas, specifically, had been letting out a deep sigh with a severe look.

“I assumed that you simply would possibly do this, however… are you certain?” (Lifell)

“I don’t doubt your talents, however I can’t admire in the event you soar into the battlefield by your self.” (Cardeas)

“Thanks on your concern. Nonetheless, I’m additionally involved about Albert’s security.” (Sirius)

For the reason that Sandor King targeted on the measures of the monsters, I used to be contemplating about this case from one other facet.

“I believe that the Sandor King has already observed that this Flood doesn’t occur naturally.” (Sirius)

The legal guidelines of pure phenomena that occurred as soon as in a number of years had been damaged. Properly, there was additionally a chance of that, however there was a magic… that might uplift the bottom on this world. For instance, the magic [Create] wasn’t solely used to solidified the soil and make one thing. It was additionally potential to dig a gap by altering the bottom or to make a excessive floor. In different phrases, so long as there was an enormous quantity of mana, it was additionally potential to make a solution to join between continents. …Like utilizing mana stones that had been collected for a number of years. If it was potential to do it artificially, probably the most suspicious particular person on this context can be…

“There’s a excessive chance that Lambda, who ran away final evening, is inflicting this incident. He made remarks like that.” (Sirius)

[My plan is in the final stage. When it ends, it doesn’t matter what happen after.” (Lambda)

Those were said by Lambda last night. I judged that it was good to think that the final stage was to intentionally cause the Flood. No, far from having the intention, I could only think that he had obviously been preparing for that. Based on the information, there were supposed no monsters with weapons, but it seemed that the monsters were making movements similar to people. I had fought against enemies who controlled monsters many times in the past, so it was fine to think that Lambda had such a mean.

“Although Lambda’s aim is Sandor, why would you want to get involved in this? Are you going to tell me that you can’t forgive him because he targeted Fia?” (Lifell)

“There is also revenge about Fia, but the number one reason is my personal circumstances.” (Sirius)

Shishou said that she felt something familiar about Lambda. I had a feeling that it had something to do with the things left behind by Shishou since he could control plants, body and his abilities were far from ordinary people.

“I am traveling to expand my knowledge, but I also need to find things that Shishou left behind.” (Sirius)

Anyhow, this circumstance was something about Shishou, and… she didn’t intend to actively look for it. That what the person herself said. However, when it involved an incident that could shake a country… no, the world, I couldn’t overlook this as her disciple. Shishou was someone arrogant, unforgiving, living on instinct and always annoyed others, but I had to return the favor for saving me who was destined to die. That was why I wanted to destroy what Shishou left behind, and erased her flaw even a little.

“Of course, there is a possibility that this has nothing to do with Shishou, but since we have been through this, I won’t be satisfied until I see the end with my own eyes.” (Sirius)

“Haa… that’s troubling. I would like to stop you even if I have to do it forcibly, but we can’t.” (Lifell)

“What is your plan for other people… I mean Reese?” (Cardeas)

The siblings were surely going to follow me. It went without saying when it came to Reus, and Emilia had already gone to the carriage to prepare it. Then, Cardeas was certainly concerned about Reese, but…

“Of course, I’m going!” (Reese)

“It’s going to be reek of blood over there. Personally, I would like you to wait in the castle.” (Sirius)

“If that’s the case, it is more necessary for me to be there. There will be a lot of injured people over there, and they will need my help.” (Reese)

“…Don’t overdo it, alright.” (Sirius)

Reese should know how terrifying when there were hordes of monsters, but I didn’t sense any fear from her. If Reese decided with that kind of confidence that there was something she could do, I wasn’t going to stop her. After that, I confirmed Princess Lifell and others at the surrounding even though they worried about Reese. Then, I took a nearby chair and sat in front of Fia.

“Fia…” (Sirius)

“I’d like to say I’m coming with you, but… I have to hold myself this time.” (Fia)

“Are you alright with that?” (Sirius)

Basically, the most important thing is to let Fia stayed in the rear. Even if she had a child in the tummy, it was still in the early stages. There should be no problem if she exercised a bit or going to battle. Above all, I thought Fia would come with me. Therefore, it was a bit surprising that she said she would stay back.

“You aren’t going to bring Karen and Hina-chan, right? In that case, I’ll be waiting you all together with them. I’ll be a wife who waits for her husband return.” (Fia)

“Thank you. To be honest, I would like you to wait in a safer place than this confused country.” (Sirius)

“I’m not sure any safer place than being next to you, but I’m not just a woman to be protected. Don’t worry about me. Please do whatever you need to do, Sirius. When you return, I’ll hug you and welcome you.” (Fia)

Indeed, we now had kids like Karen and Hina, so someone needed to protect them. I really appreciated by Fia’s suggestion as she was willing to take that role. I hugged Fia to thank her while she send me off with a smile that way senior than me. Next, I sat on one knee in front of Karen, who had been watching Cardeas since earlier. After our eyes met, I explained the current situation.

“Yes… so I will stay here, right?” (Karen)

“The place where I’m heading is going to be too dangerous. So, I want you to stay together with Fia.” (Sirius)

“…I got it. I will wait with Hina-chan.” (Karen)

I did want Karen to gain a lot of experience, but it was still too early to let her experience the battlefield. Karen, who understood my intention, obediently nodded, but since she was mostly worried about Hina, I thought it would be better for Karen not to be separated from her. I wanted to praise her somehow, so I stroked Karen’s head. Thus, the party members who were going to the front line base had been decided.

“The battle may have already started. Therefore, we will start preparing quickly.” (Sirius)

“Please wait. I’m not going to stop you, but I wonder if the Sandor King will permit this.” (Lifell)

“The King is still indebted to me, so it may be alright. Anyhow, I will ask for the permission and have them to take care of Fia and others.” (Sirius)

After giving simple instructions to everyone, I went to the conference room where the Sandor King was. The conference room was still chaotic, and the Sandor King seemed to be busy giving orders to his vassals, but he heard me right away.

“Heh… I don’t mind if you want to go. You don’t really need to get involved, you know. What a troublesome Nii-chan.” (King)

“I have personal circumstances. Of course, I plan to retreat immediately depending on the situation.” (Sirius)

“If you, Nii-chan, and your friends retreat, that will be a proof that the situation has become really bad. Anyhow, I really appreciate if you can help me. I depend on you.” (King)

“Well then, we’re going to leave as soon as we’re ready. Even so, I would like to discuss something with you…” (Sirius)

When I talked about Fia and Karen, the Sandor King nodded while seeming to remember something.

“Surely, that is not a place to bring children. Alright, you can entrust the ladies to me. This guy will take good care of them.” (King)

“Haa!? You should entrust it to someone who is more suitable than me. I mean your vassal.” (Sanger)

“I have no extra hand in this situation. At the moment, you have spare time, but if you don’t want it, you can ask someone who you trust.” (King)

“…There’s probably none.” (Sanger)

His condition seemed to have returned to some extent. After all, he was enduring the betrayal of Zilard who he thought to be his best friend. However, I was wondering why the Sandor King suggested him.

As a result of the whole situation, I was able to see through Zilard’s identity. He was probably helping Sanger while continuing to lie, but sometimes, it was better not to know the truth… and this time was one of that times. If I didn’t uncover his identity, he would stay near Sanger… as a vassal who seemed reliable. In other words, there was a possibility that he would hit us since there was no way to disperse the anger. When I was about to butt in depending on the situation, the Sandor King told clearly while beating Sanger’s back.

“If you don’t have someone to take care of them, you can do it yourself. Besides, even if you don’t know about the companion of this Nii-chan, aren’t you acquainted with that girl, Hina?” (King)

“I’ve seen her several times. But we hardly talked.” (Sanger)

“It’s better than not knowing at all right? I’m enough here alone for a while, so you can do something about your irritating face and mind.” (King)

Together with those words, Sanger was kicked out from the conference room. Then, I came out from the room after telling the Sandor King something that he needed to know. In the hallway, Sanger was clenching his fists as if he was helplessly regretting this, but he turned around while letting out a sigh when he noticed me.

“Although the old man said that, are you going to entrust them to me? I’m a foolish person who had been continuously deceived by his vassal…” (Sanger)

“There is something I want to ask you before that. Do you have a grudge against us?” (Sirius)

“…I have none. If it weren’t you guys, I might have been helping to destroy this country.” (Sanger)

This seemed to be a needless worry. Even if he was depressed, he must face the reality earnestly and didn’t throw the anger to someone else. The Sandor King understood his character. I guessed the King considered that Sanger should get away from the scene to calm his mind even a little.

“In that case, there is no problem. Please take care of my wife and children.” (Sirius)

“You really are a strange person. Aah… I got it. I will take care of the ladies as much as I can, so you can finish your business and come back quick, alright.” (Sanger)

“Of course, that’s the plan. By the way, can I ask you something?” (Sirius)

“What is it? Do you have something else?” (Sanger)

“I think that it is inevitable to feel complicated about Zilard, but I don’t think you have to think about it too deep.” (Sirius)

“…What do you mean?” (Sanger)

Sanger looked displeasure because of the topic that he didn’t want to be mentioned much, but I continued talking while looking at him directly.

“That man is going to make a mess from now on, but the things that you should do won’t change, Sanger-sama.” (Sirius)

“The things… that I should do?” (Sanger)

“That is to beat the person who betrayed you. Whatever the circumstances are, he had been using you, even though you weren’t involved in the incident at that time. Otherwise, you won’t be satisfied, right?” (Sirius)

“…Aah, you are right. I won’t be satisfied until you beat that bastard.” (Sanger)

Even if I left him alone, it felt like he would recovered naturally, but I was thinking of preparing some medication since I asked him to take care of Fia and Karen. I explained to him that the monster turmoil this time was likely to be related to Lambda.

“Even if Lambda had nothing to do with this turmoil, he will always appear before you. Even if you want to punch him, or hear him says anything, nothing will start unless we stop his plan. So, it would be better for you to focus on one thing without thinking about unnecessary things.” (Sirius)

“Am I not supposed to think about hitting him?” (Sanger)

“I didn’t ask you stop thinking of it. But at this point, your father and his vassals are taking the most appropriate measures. Therefore, it’s no longer a matter of you doing it alone.” (Sirius)

Sometimes, it was necessary to realize own strength and recognized own weaknesses. It was a bit harsh, but when I was explaining it clearly, Sanger kept silent as if he was thinking about it, so I continued talking.

“You are the next king, and the current King has openly announced it. However, I don’t think you can learn how to behave as a king with such distractions and remorse. That’s why he asked you to take care of the children in order for you to calm down.” (Sirius)

“Do you think I don’t understand that?” (Sanger)

“It is necessary for a king to be calm before anyone else. How about this? Why don’t you talk to our Karen to smooth things out? She’s a bit peculiar, but once you know her, she’s a cute girl.” (Sirius)

“Heh, what is that? Even though you are younger that me, that remark is nothing but coming from an over-dotting parent.” (Sanger)

It was a short meeting, but if it was Sanger who grew up watching from behind the King, I judged that I could trust him, rather than leaving them with strangers. I was going to tell him about Karen, even though he was pretending to be tough while smiling.

—

Then, together with Sanger, I went back to where Fia and others were. After explaining the situation, the preparation was ready, and I headed to everyone who was waiting in the carriage. Reese and the siblings were waiting for me in front of the carriage, and there was also Hokuto, but… I noticed the number of people was obviously increasing.

“Wait for me, Sirius-kun? No, shall I call you brother-in-law?” (Julia)

“Aniki…” (Reus)

For some reason, Reus had a troubled expression, and beside him, there was Julia who prepared for battle. The long blonde hair was tied at the back of the head. She was equipped with an armor that focuses on easy movement. She had a huge sword on her back even though it wasn’t as big as Reus’. That beauty and gallant appearance was suitable to call it as war maiden. I immediately knew why Julia was here, but I still had to ask the reason.

“Of course, I’m also going to the front line base for the rescue. I was planning to lead the soldiers, but I remembered hearing from Reus that your carriage was fast. So, I came here to discuss to let me ride it, even for myself only.” (Julia)

“…Did you get your father’s permission?” (Sirius)

“He told me to use whatever I could use. He also told me to hold back at least for two days.” (Julia)

“Is that so…?” (Sirius)

Well, she had that kind of father, huh. Now, Sandor had to regain control over the whole situation, it was difficult to send large-scale forces to the front line base immediately. Therefore, Julia, who was relatively free to move, was told to lead several hundred soldiers who could be moved immediately, and to go to the frontline base for the rescue. I was wondering whether it would be fine to send out a princess of a country without hesitation, but Julia was one of the strongest in Sandor. If she stood on the front line, the whole moral would also rise. I supposed that sending her there wasn’t a mistake. Which was why I didn’t mind bringing Julia in our carriage, but there was other problem. After allowing Julia to accompany us, I looked inside the carriage, and…

“Oh my, I’ve received the permission. We can leave anytime.” (Lifell)

“…Why are you here?” (Sirius)

Yeah… the biggest problem was the existence next to Reese, Princess Lifell. Of course, she was accompanied by her attendants, Senia and Melt, but the point was, she was dressed lightly, which didn’t seem to have come to see us off. The reason was similar to Julia and I immediately recognized that when she appealed it with her eyes, but unfortunately, she seemed to be serious.

“We are definitely going there as well.” (Lifell)

“Nee-sama. It’s better if you stop this…” (Reese)

“Don’t worry. We’re not going to fight, so you can rest easy. I want to go there because it’s necessary as someone who succeeds the throne of Elysion.” (Lifell)

Unlike Julia, Princess Lifell was a woman who was accompanied by her retainers because of her fostered wisdom and innate perception. To be brief, I think she wouldn’t go to the front lines but would stay at the encampment. I didn’t think she needed to go all the way to the front line but she answered without hesitation.

“Even if I know by knowledge, I have never experienced a great war. So, I want to feel the air of the battlefield at least once.” (Lifell)

“Nevertheless, if something happens to you, it will be very difficult, Nee-sama.” (Reese)

“I don’t deserve to be a Queen if I feel timid before the battlefield. My policies are to avoid dispute, but I might get caught up in an inevitable battle in the future.” (Lifell)

I was sure that there was the main reason, but I assumed that there were other circumstances. Moreover, since she had obtained permission from her father, Cardeas, I had no reason to refuse her. Rather than becoming a burden, Princess Lifell and others held the might to the degree of war potentials. I had a feeling that they would follow us even if we left them behind, so we might as well went together.

“We will move together, but I won’t be away from Reese’ side. We will not get in your way, so will you take us too?” (Lifell)

“We will protect Lifell-sama, so please do whatever necessary, everyone.” (Senia)

“I am reluctant, but this is Hime-sama’s order. We’re not going to bother you guys, so you can rely on us, alright?” (Melt)

“…Understood. However, the carriage will shake considerable, so please be careful not to hurt your body.” (Sirius)

Although the shake could be suppressed by the suspension created with the reference of the previous life knowledge, it had no effect if Hokuto ran seriously. Hence, I asked them to prepare beforehand. Just to be sure, as I was doing a final check on Emilia and the carriage so that the wheel didn’t come off on the way there, I suddenly heard a loud voice from the rear.

“““Julia-samaaaa–!””” (?)

The owners of the voices were the hundred soldiers who were wearing heavy armor. They were coming to this place with the momentum that built up earth tremor. The group of people gave a strange sweltering feeling. When I was thinking whether they would line up in front of Julia, who was approaching Reus, they all knelt down at once and lowered their head.

“Please forgive us. Half of them are ready, but there are also those who still need time. Somehow, please wait for us!” (?)

“““Yes, please wait for us!””” (?)

I had heard from Julia that there were imperial guards who were willing to accompany her and waging their life. Perhaps, they were those people. Not only that, the order of the imperial guards was beautifully aligned and they left us in daze. Then, Julia shouted out at the soldiers with a serious expression.

“Why do you mean by preparing later than me!? I will give punishment to everyone since this is a collective responsibility, so be prepared later!” (Julia)

“““Yes!””” (Soldiers)

Although they were supposed to get scold, was it my imagination that they looked happy? Even if a headband written with [Julia for Life] wrapped on their head, these folks wouldn’t really feel bizarre about it. These guards had glittering eyes being scold by Julia, however instantly after that, their expression had been hardened due to the phrases mentioned.

“Even so, the plan has modified. I’ll experience the carriage of those folks. Due to this fact, as soon as you’re prepared, you’ll be able to go forward to the entrance line base.” (Julia)

“““Eh!?””” (Troopers)

“Ju-julia-sama! I don’t suppose the carriage is quicker than a horse! In truth, I’ve already ready a horse for you…” (?)

“While you say that, do you suppose it will likely be quicker than Hokuto over there?” (Julia)

The guards didn’t look satisfied, however nobody appeared in a position to say it again to the looks of chic Hundred Wolves that was ready with a sitting posture.

“…Understood. We’ll quickly comply with Julia-sama.” (?)

“I’m relying on you. By the way in which, Reus. The place are you sitting within the carriage? I need to sit subsequent to you.” (Julia)

“Aah… Julia-sama is that harmless…” (?)

“She by no means offers that smile to us… kuhhh!” (?)

Julia, who rotated whereas smiling at Reus, the guards had been groaning from the guts. It wasn’t attention-grabbing because the princess swore loyalty to a person who out of the blue appeared. Whereas hateful gazes regularly targeting Reus, the carriage inspection was completed, and everybody was urged to go inside.

“I perceive. I’m going to depart now, however you guys comply with up whereas contemplating your stamina. I can’t forgive you in the event you can’t battle due to exhaustion.” (Julia)

“““Sure!””” (Troopers)

After Julia advised that to the guards, I confirmed that the siblings had been already within the carriage. Then, I sat on the carriage seat, and after I was about to inform Hokuto to depart…

“Now, let’s go! Present me the facility of the Hundred Wolves!” (Julia)

“…Woof.” (Hokuto)

“Hmm, what’s incorrect? Why aren’t we departing but?” (Julia)

Due to the place that often stood on high of individuals, Julia had issued an order to depart earlier than me. Nonetheless, it was comprehensible that Hokuto didn’t obey the order. Julia tilted her head since he wasn’t transferring from the spot.

“Julia-sama. Hokuto-san will solely take heed to his Grasp, Sirius-sama. And as for this occasion, the chief is Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)

“Hmm, I see. I’m everybody’s sister-in-law to any extent further. Since I’ve change into a newcomer, I’ve to be prudence.” (Julia)

“Aniki. I’m beginning to get slightly petrified of assembly Marina… I’m wondering why?” (Reus)

As Emilia started to show Julia the hierarchical relationship of a future sister-in-law, Reus started to really feel anxious about informing Julia’s scenario to Marina. Furthermore, they had been each a princess of their nation. It was certainly a chaotic scenario. It was a scene that I couldn’t think about as we went towards the place the place hordes of monsters had been approaching. Anyhow, I targeted my thoughts once more to regulate everybody properly. Then, I commanded Hokuto once more.

“I saved you ready. Let’s go, Hokuto!” (Sirius)

“Woof!” (Hokuto)

Hokuto barked as if telling us to depart it to him. Then, the carriage went off whereas rolling up heavy mud. If it was with this pace, the journey that ought to take half a day, would solely take us a couple of hours, however the shaking of the carriage was extra intense than I anticipated. The disciples and I had been used to this to a sure extent, so our semicircular canal ought to be sturdy and we had been superb, but it surely is likely to be laborious for these two princesses…

“Marvelous! Is it potential for a carriage to be this quick when pulled by a Hundred Wolves!? I actually need to experience on the again of Hokuto-dono!” (Julia)

“It could be a bit imprudent, however I’m excited to journey with Reese.” (Lifell)

“Hime-sama. I perceive how you’re feeling, however please watch out to not hit your head or physique.” (Soften)

“Then, why don’t you persist with me extra? It’s your responsibility to guard me, Soften.” (Lifell)

…They appeared to be calmer than I anticipated. When necessity arises, Emilia and Reese may make cushion with their magic, and Reus additionally was attentive to not let Julia harm. It appeared like there was no drawback to depart them alone inside. Whereas listening to the pace and the situation of the carriage, I fastened my eyes forward.

— Albert —

“Keith, let’s retreat quickly. It’s harmful to separate any additional.” (Albert)

“Yeah. Alright, these injured, retreat instantly! We don’t have spare time to take care your burden!” (Keith)

That day… the biggest entrance line base constructed by the world’s largest nation, Sandor, was attacked by hordes of monsters. Moreover, the monsters weren’t regular monsters. Most of them had been humanoid monsters, they usually all had weapons of their arms. As well as, they had been attacking by forming formations much like folks.

This was clearly an uncommon scenario. The commanding officers and the troopers stationed on the entrance line base had been changing into stressed. They secured the wall with out having good preparations and interception. Nonetheless, the battle potentials that remained on the entrance line base which was referred to as an impregnable fortress had been Beast King and his forces solely. Therefore, it was potential to keep away from a worst case situation of the whole collapse.

The sturdy partitions, which had been enhanced with superior rank magic, simply stopped the monsters regardless of what number of had been there. With out having a number of folks to show the deal with, it could be inconceivable to destroy a sturdy entrance gate that couldn’t be opened or closed. That was why we had to make use of magic and bows to cut back the variety of monsters on the partitions. The plan was to be on offensive as soon as we acquired the reinforcements and provides from Sandor, however… the variety of monsters was greater than anticipated. Furthermore, there have been many monsters that might fly aside from these humanoid monsters. With a purpose to intercept the flying monsters, the assault on the bottom turned loosened.

Nonetheless, we made use of the geographical benefit to cope with the monsters that got here down attacking from the sky. We managed to cope with the monsters that climbed the wall by clawing up the wall, however a troubling existence emerged on the way in which.

“Tsk! It’s coming, isn’t it? It’s as Father predicted.” (Keith)

“We nonetheless can’t go down but.” (Albert)

A gaggle of Ogres with a battering ram appeared, becoming a member of the monsters that had been hitting the gate on intuition. I had been attacked by monsters many instances earlier than, however this was the primary time to see them bringing a battering ram. It was a easy factor made by tying ropes round an enormous log. Nonetheless, as a number of Ogres had been working collectively, the Beast King confirmed that the monsters would do it in a really quick time. 　He instantly shaped a gaggle of sturdy males. They jumped from the highest of the wall and hit the monsters instantly.

Everybody additionally understood that was absurd, however as a result of the commanding officers couldn’t suppose forward, nearly all who may use magic to defeat the Ogres had been working out of mana. Even when it was sturdy gate, it was prone to break if it was hit with battering ram consecutively. So, the operation was carried by the troops of the Beast King. I used to be additionally a candidate of that troop. We defeated the ogres and the monsters that swarmed the gate, however monsters with a batter ram appeared once more.

“Albert, you could retreat. You aren’t associated to this nation, so don’t make you spouse and sister fear about you anymore.” (Keith)

“You even have a sister, proper? I can nonetheless battle, and extra importantly, if I retreat when it’s this a lot, I’ll be laughed by my accomplice and Shishou.” (Albert)

In comparison with the time when there was no manner out, this was a a lot better scenario. My spouse, Pamela, despatched me out with out complaining though she was having my baby… I used to be actually sorry to Pamela. …For volunteering myself in such a harmful scenario. Nonetheless, I didn’t need to be a father who deserted his buddies. I might in all probability remorse for the remainder of my life if I deserted them. I held my sword once more to assist the least I may do. Then, I attempted to verify the scenario round for a bit whereas adjusting my breath.

In my eyes, this was nonetheless distant from a deadly battle scenario. I had heard that we may maintain it for at the very least a couple of days since we had sufficient stockpiles of provides. Nonetheless, it had been almost half a day because the battle started. It was concerning the time that the solar began to set, and my imaginative and prescient was getting worse. The scenario was getting worst at evening, so I want to kill all monsters that had battering rams earlier than it was too late. After that, I bought wounded. When Keith, who held a Halberd in his hand, took the lead, I heard the voice of Marina, who was supporting from the highest of the partitions.

[Aniue! Keith-sama! The Beast King ordered you to return!] (Marina)

“What!? We will’t suppress them but, so what are you making an attempt to do!?” (Keith)

Keith raised up his voice at my sister’s via wind magic. I may guess the intention, so I approached Keith’s again to consolation him.

“He’s in all probability contemplating our fatigue. He knew that the battle continues to be happening.” (Albert)

“However, there are nonetheless a bunch of Ogres left…” (Keith)

“It’s alright. Our alternative has been already despatched out.” (Keith)

Once I rotated, a number of new beastkin had been leaping down from the highest of the wall through the use of ropes. Keith retreated from the scene though he was reluctant. Once I tried to proceed…

“Search for, Marina!” (Albert)

An enormous wyvern was approaching the place the place Marina was combating. Magic and arrows had been shot at that wyvern, however the dragon species had been these with tenacious life power. It was getting nearer as they did not carry it down in midair. Marina was about to get caught by an assault which was like a suicide assault that didn’t spare life, however my sister was calm.

“Do you suppose I’ll be hit by that assault!?” (Marina)

With the power to create illusions, Marina creates numerous clones of herself, and he or she managed to divert the wyvern’s goal. The wyvern was splendidly deceived by twenty clones, but it surely went via Marina on the facet, she was thrown out of the wall due to monumental wind strain.

“Marina!? Kuh!” (Albert)

‘Whether it is that place, I could make it in time!’

I used to be doing every thing to catch her on the bottom, however a small wyvern additionally got here down, aiming on the falling Marina. I attempted to throw my sword at that immediate, however I observed a sure existent, and my motion stopped reflexively.

“Dorashaaaa–!” (Reus)

A silver-colored existence got here down from the sky whereas elevating a nostalgic battle cry. He ripped the wyvern into two, and got here nearer to Marina. Then, he modified his trajectory by kicking the air because it was. He gently caught Marina in the course of the autumn, and landed in entrance of me and Keith.

“Phew… are you harm, Marina?” (Reus)

“Aah… I-I’m superb…” (Marina)

‘Goodness… the timing of rescuing us is ideal. You’re really a hero to us siblings.’

I checked out Reus who was hugging my sister in his arm whereas his silver hair was fluttering. Although it was such an emergency scenario, a smile leaked out naturally.

Further/Bonus Act 1 – Julia’s Imperial Guards

This was a narrative once we had been heading to the entrance line base on a carriage. Princess Lifell was calm within the closely swaying carriage, however she requested a query to Julia, who was repeatedly made approaches to Reus.

“Nonetheless, your imperial guards are spectacular, Julia. How many individuals are there?” (Lifell)

“It’s about 2 hundred folks. They’re proud bunch who likes me since I swing nothing however sword. Nonetheless, I can’t forgive them for looking at Reus, I’ve to inform them firmly later.” (Julia)

“Don’t fear about it. There are simply anxious about you, proper?” (Reus)

“I respect it in the event you say so. They’re impolite to Reus, however they often hold me firm and have mock battles with out displaying disagreeable face. Regardless of how a lot they do, they’re worthy of thanks.” (Julia)

Their arm was damaged previously, however they appear to be thanking her for it.

“There’s just one factor I don’t perceive. There have been instances once they appeared completely satisfied and mentioned thanks each time the mock battle was determined by my blows. It will likely be superb in the event that they do it later, however don’t you suppose it’s bizarre once they say thanks earlier than that?” (Julia)

“““…””” (Lifell/Reus/Emilia)

“Julia. In case you and the imperial guards are superb with it, you don’t have to fret an excessive amount of. They appear to be completely satisfied, so you are able to do it with out holding again.” (Lifell)

“Hmm, certainly, you’re proper. To any extent further, I’ll allow them to accompany me like the standard.” (Julia)

They had been unusual passionate imperial guards, however at this level, all of us knew that there have been M…

Furthermore, it wasn’t simply the boys, there have been additionally ladies like that. It appeared they had been a terrifying bunch in some ways. Sadly, Julia didn’t actually perceive these folks, so Princess Lifell sneakily tried to steer her to neglect about it. As a facet observe…

“I perceive their emotions properly. There are occasions after I additionally really feel completely satisfied being reprimanded by Sirius-sama.” (Emilia)

There was solely an individual who understood the imperial guards deeply.

※Julia’s imperial guard’s code.

Julia-sama’s orders are absolute.

Julia-sama is extra necessary than the king.

When obtain an almsgiving (a knockout blow in mock battle), one ought to all the time be grateful.

※Reus’ impression on Julia’s imperial guards.

“I believe it’s superb that you simply handle to get Julia-sama, however we nonetheless can’t admit that but!” (?)

“That’s proper! Julia-sama’s love is what we acquired from her sword!” (?)

“You might be beginner since you don’t know the job of being hit by Julia-sama!” (?)

“Nope… I don’t need to perceive.” (Reus)

Further/Bonus Act 2 – Advance Discover (Pretend)

Sirius and others jumped into the battle on the entrance line base. The progress of battle largely modified for the higher with the addition of Sirius’ group, however the dimension of the monsters far exceeded expectations. After they started to be regularly pushed by the monsters that by no means exhausted and Reus’ sword lastly broke… she appeared!

“Hahaha!” (?)

“Yo-you are!?” (Albert?)

“When Sirius-sama is in pinch, Noel seems to the rescue! Let me heal everybody’s coronary heart!” (Noel)

“““…””” (Lifell/Reus/Emilia)

Within the subsequent chapter… was she an enemy or an ally? It was a sudden look of a mysterious married girl!

Please look ahead to it!
