「Princess Lille’s Determination」
Our surroundings faded away and after a doate replaced the house we’d just been in
The sun seemed to touch the peaks of the mountain in the west and the sky reflected the colors of autumn
“Oh, is this…… the capital that you mentioned? Quite an enthusiastic display……”
Dylan’s adic were cut short when he noticed the scorched earth and innu the outskirts of the gate
The scars of ement: Executioner Michael】clearly remained on this stretch of earth
However, the shadows of h the burnt field
A closer look revealed the shadows to be hue of ar into baskets stripped to their backs
They would probably be ed into new tools
Repair on the wall that surrounds the southern gate, with stone and wooden barricades acting as a teaps could be filled in
They had begun to gradually rebuild the city
“Hmm, quite resilient to say the least”
“Yeah”
Ariane chimed in on the on my brief remark
“Well, why don’t you go and look for Chio?”
Once Dylan was done taking in the scenery, he put his hands on his waist and looked towards Soulia
Ariane and I nodded at his suggestion and began heading towards the southern gate
Several people in the vicinity of the gate ell aware of ere and permitted us to enter with relative ease Asparuf was probably the one who arranged things this way
Additionally, Chioth to the soldiers and guards hunting the remnants of the undead in the city, and several people asked us to thank her on their behalf
” I can’t help but feel a little anxious e left, but everything seeht”
Ariane heaved a relieved sigh when she heard of Chiome’s achievements
A sinister smile appeared on Dylan’s face when he heard Ariane’s words
“She is very atekeepers like a certain someone did”
Ariane’s shoulders started to treaze in response to Dylan’s pointed comment
For the ti angry
As such thoughts occupied irl dressed in black
The black cat ears, her long, black tail, and the way she walked withouta sound undoubted marked her as Chiome
When Chioht bow
“Chio in this place?”
Chiome’s ears did a little pitter-patter when Ariane asked what she’d been up to, before partially drawing her dagger from its waist sheath
“I’ve been hunting the remnants of the undead in the city Because our noses are better,and I have joined the clean-up can”
Her nose twitched a little when she said that, but a bit of dust must have few up her nostril because she immediately let out a small sneeze
“Ariane-dono, Arc-done have you finished what you needed to take care of?”
After she recovered, Chiome directed a question towards us, but Ariane and I shared a mutual look in this delicate environment
“It didn’t go as well as ould have liked, but I think things are heading in a good direction”
“I see, so what’s our next move?”
Chioed the topic to our plansforward
Dylan was the one that answered her question
“First, I’ll have aof this country, where we can share a bit of information with one another”
“Is that so, then we’d better hurry”
At Chioroup quickly made our way those the palace in the center of the city
“Oh, a few of the soldiers wanted to thank you for your help, Chiome It seems you’ve been rather active in the undead hunt”
When I passed along the e the soldiers asked me to Chiome her blue eyes sparkled for before she simply said: “I see……”
The strokes of her tail wags became wilder
Eventually, we passed through the palace gate without issue and, after telling a nearby guard we sought an audience with the King, were guided to a backroom inside the palace
King Asparuf and Margrave Branier were already seated by the ti the restlessness they experienced waiting for our answer
Asparuf, who’d ad seen an elf beside Ariane and ed Dylan with a nod
“And you are?”
“I a elder of Raratoia of the Great Canada Forest It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance”
Dylan slowly lowered his head as he answered the King’s question
Asparuf and Branier nearly fell on their faces because of Dylan self-introduction
Given that he’d introduced himself as an elder of Canada, they must have assumed that reinforcements would be sent immediately
However, Dylan realized that and shook his head as he cleared up their confusion
“I’ as a representative of Rouen forest on this occasion, not the capital’s reinforcements you asked the three of them for”
The terfulDylan’s statement
With a smile on his face, he offered the two men a bit of hope
“However, the capital wouldn’t reht of Rouen Forest The majority of Doranto has decided to join forces with humans to combat the common enemy”
Asparuf and Branier eyes bulged while Dylan calmly looked down at them
The room remained silent until someone cleared their throat
“I intend to return to Canada and gather the necessary fighting force to combat the threat at hand”
The two human rulers looked overjoyed when Dylan said that
“Oh, I see All hope is not lost……”
Asparuf’s true feelings leaked out without an ounce of hesitation
I didn’t notice it immediately, but there was a sorave Branier looked towards the King with a grievous expression
What happened?
While Iinto the room
As it was a state of eency, one was always open for reports
However, when Asparuf saw the guard he donned a bitter expression and urged hiive his report, who proceed to do so as quickly as possible
“Yes, pardon me! A ‘bird’ has arrived frodom! 「Thecapital, Sarets, is soon to fall The enee!”
Everyone was taken back by the uard read aloud
If I wasn’t dom was just north of Nozan
I’m sure that……
“Chiome-dono, you said that Goeht?”
Ariane’s and Dylan’s eyes naturally went to Chiome when I asked that question,
Her expression didn’t change in the slightest, but her ears twitched in synchronization with Ponta’s
“I haven’t received any infor because I do not know the location of that country’s capital, but if there was an undead army on the same scale as the previous one, than Goemon hasn’t encountered it……”
However, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Nozan was in a proble the capital of its neighbors in the north and south and they were primed for a battle on two fronts
After thanking and disned heavily
Despite Margrave Branier harsh features, the fatigue could clearly be seen on his face
I iine the pair would never show these expressions to their subordinates, but it ravity of the situation
It was Dylan who started talking, in his usual tone,to break the tension in the room
“This is a little troublesoather forces from Canada, but as you know, there aren’t ason that one battlefront is a necessity, how far away is the capital of Salma from Soulia?”
Asparuf raised his head, raised an eyebrow, and groaned in response to Dylan’s question
“I-If I’m not mistaken, it’ll be ten days away by horse……”
Dylan nodded his head before asking the same of Delfuento’s capital
“I don’t know the exact details, but it should be seven or eight days away”
Once Asparuf gave hirave Branier
“What’s the distance between Salma’s capital and your territory?”
“It takes six days to reach the border and seven to reach the heart of my territory”
Having already grasped Dylan’s intentions, the Margrave answered Dylan without questioning him
However, when everything was taken into consideration…
“Even if we set up an ambush, the two armies’ invasions are bound to overlap with one another”
The atrow h
“Did the Hiruku Theocracy attack these three countries simultaneously? Just howthey sent the sa those that were destroyed here, that’s about five hundred-thousand”
