Chapter 31 (2/2)
“You will be silent If this insult to er, I’ll be forced to report it to the upper level”
The blond haired soldier was silenced by the gray haired soldier’s words
―The negotiation has come
Now, I turnnext to me
I grab his aro, and whisper in his ear
“Gil, listen Even my father was let down Those of the upper class don’t care what happens to the icians”
“That is…”
Even though the one defending the fort was the head of the Harvester family, they made no efforts to send relief quickly
As a result, the fort that was defended icians fell
Was it the work of those ould sell out the country, or an act caused by the disgust for h it wasn’t possible to determine until now, it seems it’s the latter
But even if they dislike it, if there is an existence that can destroy the cause of this overwheleous situation-
According to the reaction of the gray haired a
“Their objective is you Please, buy as much time as you can” (Atlas)
“…I understand”
一After receiving his confiro of him
Take this, please, and give it to her, Gil e he handed
I roughly understand how Origa treated him
Still, whether it’s because he’s a naive person who’s worrying about his sister, or because he understands her true nature- that conclusion cao
You should do itto push hiht when I was told that【secret】by Gil
While feeling a little funny, I looked indifferently back at the head to convey that I’d be handing Gilford over to hi my voice unnecessarily loud
“Shall we find some land for Gilford Ivaris in )
At those words, the ers showed shocked expressions
“I believe his Majesty is going to grant the this fort?” (TN: Theht Corps, I presume)
“But, it’s not very close to the battlefield? We will need Gilford Ivaris for the battles that are to come―”
“If this doesn’t go through, I have no way to persuade Gilford I’m sorry, but I’d like to convince this stoneheadthe royalty intervene I doubt that he will seriously obey your orders”
As soon as we recaptured the fort, the infor stones was successfully destroyed was sent to the Imperial City
But, perhaps due to the complexity of the procedure, Gilford was not formally summoned by the royalty
As it is, his ht Order】reed
If we plan to take action outside of our duties, some concession is necessary
I turn ray haired soldier who appears to be the one in control, and he nodded reluctantly
“…I agree”
When I turned back to the head atching silently, he nodded to show that he accepted the deal
His testiency, may have its reliability questioned because of his social position
The head has no backing If any pressure is put on him, he will fall
However, he led ave the path I chose, and he’s someone I rely on more than anyone else
Now thatto entrust with my close friend
“Head, thank you for always supporting me”
To the head who banged ent face, I lowered ia
As I juician, already, I ain’
I raisedaway the sentimentality
“It’s as you heard! Please, help!”
When I call out to the restless audience, their eyes all wander elsewhere
To go rescue Origa, it’s doubtful whether or not they’ll return alive
We don’t know if she’s alive in the first place
If you think about this as one who protects the country, as a knight, the defense of this fort is more important than the life or death of one person
Even if they’re a ician, they will definitely die if they leave this fort and astone is present
For anyone to volunteer would be surprising
Even a single person choosing to volunteer would impress me
However,
“I will go”
“…it will be dangerous”
A woh the crowd to come forward
Her face seeuely She claia
When I asked her if she would prioritize a new leader of the Ruzil over Origa, she replied with a small smile, “I would not”
“Tothe Ruzil family head, she is the benefactor who foundstones For the Ruzil- please, use my life”
Seeing a woicians and soldiers follow
Each of thea had helped them before
Looking around, no one else is willing to volunteer I tell the away their eyes
Thus, I received pere for the custody of my best friend- Gilford
After the o, the ly useless in combat
一Even if they face a single ordinary soldier, if that soldier carries astone, they become helpless to resist him
Because of this, ned one to a squadron for assistance, but the non-icians don’t feel very satisfied
On the battlefield, even an intere
The once glaicians, is over
My friend will be injured easily, a wo soldiers receive
Even though she has an absurd aht back once surrounded by ene stones
No ic without a break, your mana will run out, and you will die
It’s only a matter of time
That’s why Gil suspected that Origa was hiding her expressions
While running through the bushes while holdingsound
Looking back a bit, a large red pillar of flame is visible
The amount of flame, its momentum, it’s all impeccable
However, while it certainly seea’s fla
The difference between her and her follower is not the number of years they’ve practiced
Above all, Origa’s characteristic is her inexhaustibly large, uncountable amount of mana
An aa is able to bear it without screa
An ae hundreds of years of training to catch up with
That’s it
Through a thin strand of ivy I stretched over the ground to find the enemy, I feel someone’s touch
Hidden in a trunk just wide enough to concealthe thin ivy, I was able to deter the ivy
―One person in the shade of the rock, four people in the grove
I touch the sword attached to ic
While I don’t intend to fight this nuic will attract reinforce
It’s possible to knock theic sealing stones, the number of people I knock out won’t make any difference
A little unsure, I removed the hand I had on the sword
If I use le blow
The whip that I sent froet- was burned instantly by a bright fire
I avoided the fireball by rolling sideways, and heard the screarove
From the shadow of the rock, I am very familiar with the person who comes out
The apex of icians, the symbol, the protector of the country
Always full of confidence, always dependable, always an unshakeable existence
“Origa!”
However, the eyes of my friend who looked back were blank
Her left arm was dyed more red than her eyes
Fro left hand, blood slowly dripped
Dyed with a was there
