Chapter 49 – Rozenburg Three Sisters – ~Clan Head Alphonse’s Story~

It was evening when I got the sudden notice

[Three villages in the territory were destroyed?]

[YesApparently they were attacked by es have been erased without trace…]

Hearing such a story, I as about to sleep stood up slowly from my bed

[We cannot just leave it beLet’s return to the territory]

And so, I got ready and left the capital that very evening, returning to my clan’s territory

=====

◆

Once I arrived back at the territory, I immediately prepared the soldiers

That included the knights, foot soldiers, and even the ate the monsters with our entire armyVanquish thees DivisionI could use both swordsic swordsman, as I also dabbled on swordsic, es say it all

This ti to the destroyed villageIt won’t take too long…or so I thought

But aiting for ination

There was nothingNothing

In place of the village, there was only wide open land, giving off a feeling of nausea

[What…? This…]

Seeing this, I was speechlessAt that moment, scouts came one after another to report

And…I was shocked by the unexpected reports

[Is the information correct?]

[YesIt’s been confiron that leveled the northeastern villages]

The vassal who made the report lowered his head

[In addition to that…Apparently it’s the『Wicked Dragon, Vassago』who had destroyed Earl Roinal report, it was thought that a nuesThat’s why I thought that it’ll be fine if I hit theo

Ancient Dragons usually don’t attack other races because they have their pride as the king of dragonsBut Vassago was an exceptionHe ignored this so-called ‘pride’ and freely attacked other beings

In a year, it used three-quarters of it to sleep, and the reon a special nicknaons are entities whose power earned them the title of “Divine Beast”Their power is similar in class to that of a natural disaster

It’s i is dispatchedPerhaps if the main forces of the E!]

I akened froer in the next village! The village is already in ruins!]

[Reporting!! It seeon has penetrated deep into the territory!]

Then ca!]

[What is it this tion…has appeared at the capital city Blu the news…I unconsciously dropped the treasured sword I’ve been holding

Capital city Blu such a report, we immediately marched back to BlumThere was no hope to winBut it’sabout itI couldn’t just sit around doing nothing whiledestroyed

And above all…there was currently no soldier in BlumThere were only powerless cohters Roxanne and CynthiaThinking so, I hurried my horse back to Blu I saw once arriving back to Bluround around the city

[How did this happen!?]

I hurriedly asked a nearby vassalAt that moment…

[Milord!]

The one who called me out was someone orked at the main mansion named Torr

[You…why are you here? No, what is the current situation? How bad is the dae?]

Reflexively I bombarded him with one question after another

[Th-that’s…]

Torr fell down in tears instead

[What’s wrong! Explain properly!]

[Lady Roxanne, she…]

[Roxanne!? What happened to Roxanne!?]

Roxanne should’ve been locking herself in the mansionWhy is her name mentioned here?

[Milady seeon’s arrival in advanceShe gave us some instructionsTo evacuate as many citizens as possible to the hidden shelter and to report this to Alphonse-saic barrier, and went out to fight the dragon alone…]

Having said that, Torr once again broke down in tearsBut resolved to finish his report

[Many people tried to stop MiladyI tried desperately tooBut Milady believed that her iic poas meant to be for days like this… that’s why she shook us away and headed to the Ancient dragon by herselfWe tried to follow… but was knocked down by Milady’s uide milord to where Milady isSo here I am]

[Roxanne did that…]

[People called Milady『Witch』…and everyone tended to avoid her… but I always believed that it’s just a ruseMilady is dignified, and kind hearted…I …… I……]

[Enough]

I cut his words quietly

[Guide me to RoxanneAt once!]

=====

◆

Roxanne and the Wicked Dragon Vassago were apparently in the suburbs of the citySo I led the arot closer…I sensed a ic that I’ve never felt before

Suddenly, those aic power started to fall one after anotherThe least severely affected ones were vo on the spotPerhaps they couldn’t stand such a concentrated aoes for es shouldn’t go any further! Only knights will follow ot closer, I could slowly see theure of on’s intense breath attack with an ice shi+eld

(She’s capable of holding down against an Ancient dragon…no, she’s pushi+ng it back?)

Astonishment crept as I watched the scene

(Ion…)

Roxanne’s talent is undoubtedly evenpredecessorsBut what aic poould be required to push back an Ancient dragon…?

But at the sa else…hopelessness overwhel

Roxanne’s legs were frozen up to her knees, and the freezing only continued to rise upThe ground below her had also began to freeze over, and it’s spreading out gradually

Due to using such a powerful ic power overflowed and started to go berserk

As a father, I wanted to stop RoxanneBut…as a Lord, I need her to defeat Vassago

[Ah…have the Gods abandoned me…?]

At that time, I had no place left to turn to

[Father! What kind of situation is this!]

A familiar voice came from behindAt that point, I hadn’t realized that the voice had brought along with it the saviour of the Rozenburg clan

=====

◆

That voice belonged to Millia

Why is that to at the Royal Capital?

And…who is thathere?? That’s an ancient dragon, right? And why is sis Roxanne fighting it!?]

[Hear me out first!]

This is why I’m not fond of Millia

[Why are you here in the first place! Shouldn’t you be at the capital right now?]

[I ca iood?]

Responding to Millia, the ic power is definitely going berserk…and such an i]

[……by the ho are you?]

I sent hi hi their daughter actually brought ato boot

It was him, not Millia, who replied to me

[Ah, I’m her senior at the academyThe reason I came here is toat the battle between Roxanne and VassagoRoxanne seemed to notice Millia’s presenceShe looked back to her sister in sorrowAt the saic intensified even further

[Is there nothing we can do…Senpai, can you do soo wild, isn’t itBut well, I won’t be able to talk it out slowly unless I do soic power intensified evenan even wider area

[That looks bad…theso, theI have a way to settle this situation; both your daughter and the dragonI know it’s hard to believe the words of someone you only met just now, but can you please leave this to ive er’s words indeedBut I have nothing left to deal with this situationDo what you can]

I replied half heartedly

There is nothing I can do in this situationRoxanne possesses the largest a clanBut isn’t it now going berserk? And her opponent is an ancient dragon no lessWhat can you do about it?

And this rando about it? How rude can he be?

But when he heard my answer, he smiled…then marched alone toward the battlefield where Roxanne and Vassago is facing off

=====

◆

After that, thattowards Roxanne

Roxanne’shad reached up to her chest area

Curiously Ares-dono was not affected by such freezing as he approached Roxanne…and stole her lipsSeeing this scene, both I and Millia were duRoxanne’s ic power intensity became smaller and s I’ve never seen beforeNo? I’ve read about this soic that was already deeic…

When Ares-dono released Roxanne’s lips…the ice that had covered her up to her breasts and covered the surrounding ground…they disappeared as if nothing had happened

Leaving the seely disappointed Roxanne aside, Ares-dono turn to the wicked dragon this tionYour opponent is one]

Saying so, he took out a huge on

The wicked dragon responded with a powerful breath attack

After that, a battle of life and death began

We were awed as atched and prayed

His sword cut through the dragon’s thick hide, hurting itBut it’s impossible for him to inflict a fatal woundOn the other hand, the wicked dragon’s breath attacks could not hit Ares-dono either

How long the battle will last? Can he really win? My heart was anxiousI had doubted hiestion, but I had no choice but to believe hiure of his…resembled those hero often depicted on the church’s tapestryAt least those who present here would’ve thought the saon finally relented

《Kuh! This fight, there is no fun in itTo think there is actually a hue…let’s call it a draHowever, we’ll ain somedayWhen that ti that in a disappointed tone, the dragon took flight and left
