Frigga turned around with a cheerful expression as she spoke to Kurats, as saze

Arfried as well as the news that Lapland had triuard's army, Kurats had decided to return hoa had offered to acco in the world

【”Our spies have reported seeing signs that Asgard is going to invade Jordom to offer thehness, e do if you leave the country for too long…”】

【”We can e by ourselves here This is an iand's public opinion lean towards our kingdofried had said before pushi+ng his sister outside the castle

He knew that Jorand's public opinion was torn as to how to interact with Asgard

However, if the two major powers decided not to face each other in battle, there was no telling whether the Northern alliance would be able to gain victory a second time

Besides, as an older brother, it was only natural for Siegfried to support his boyish younger sister now that she had finally found love

【”―― If so, then I'll ietting so the victory of Lapland, the credibility and ia's presence as a witness Having Frigga by his side would certainly not hurt when dealing with the tense atand's royal court

And so, on the day of his departure, Kurats ended up being acco to hide her joy, as well as a hundred elite knights on horseback

【”But this place is unexpectedly peaceful considering how close we are to the er to attack hua's casually said words had Kurats secretly sweating fro he coot carried away on his way to Lapland

After that so-called monster aristocrat was defeated, the monsters in the area had probably scattered away

【”W-well, it's good that nothing happened…”】

【”I guess so… Why are you suddenly in a hurry?”】

【”I' for a while, until they finally reached the end of the fortress From there, beyond the hills, they could see a fort

This was the ard and Jorh the fort, it would take theand

They also had the option of going further into theto fight, however…

【”We caht as well have some fun while we're at it!”】

However, the two battle maniacs had no reason to pick such a passivecountryside scenery around the Mercury fort, Callisto let out big yawn

He was the head of the garrison that was stationed here

But since it was unthinkable for there to be any invaders froth of the e the few monsters that lost their way once in a while

As a ard empire's army, Callisto had been trained as a soldier to an extent, but when peace stayed for too long, even trained soldiers would start slacking off That was true for any army in any country

【”I wonder if we'll be called back to the capital soon… You can't keep a man in his pri ain, captain? You always do this”】

【”Shut the hell up! Don't act like you're not thinking the sa It would be hard for me to find another way to? I'll have you know that when I was young, I-!”】

At thatunusual happened

【”Captain, several cavalry from the back of the fort! There about a hundred of them!”】

【”Cavalrymen? Why would they come here? We're in the middle of nowhere…”】

【”Captain, what should we do?”】

【”For now, stay alert They ht be froht that this was probably a surprise inspection

When soldiers stayed too far away from the battlefield, they tended to lose all their sense of tension and fighting spirit

To deal with this issue, the euards that were stationed in reions Callisto had been told about this before

However…

【”That's… L, Lapland's crest? What are they doing here?!”】

【”You said Lapland!”】

All Callisto knew about recent events was that the e Lapland

Seeing the forces of the ene

【”Ready your crossbows! Wake up the ones taking a nap! If anyone wastes any time, I'll throw him above the ramparts!”】

【”All forces prepare for battle! Hurry up!”】

The Mercury fort, with its sturdy, stone raned to be used as a frontline base in the unlikely case of a close confrontation against Jorand, and it could accommodate up to 3000 soldiers

However, the forces currently present in the fort were only one tenth of that nu down a fort with barely a hundred cavalrymen?”】
