Chapter 107: The Heroes Who Came to Know of Reality

“We’re going to betray the 『Evila』? Is that true?” (Taishi+)

“Yeah” (Rudolf)

The one who answered Taishi+’s question was King Rudolf Currently, the only ones in that location were the four heroes and the king As the king had told the confidential he would like to discuss, the heroes had co’s Office However, he had then told them that he would betray the 『Evila』 at the conference

“So was the alliance a lie?” (shi+nobu)

shi+nobu Akamori furrowed her brow as she asked

“That’s right I sent a spy to the 『Evila』continent There’s no doubt about it” (Rudolf)

“N-no way……even though I had thought things would be settled without fighting, just what are the 『Evila』 thinking!” (Chika)

The one who revealed her indignation was Chika Suzumiya

“So will the conference be cancelled?” (Shuri)

“No, this is the first tier In spite of the so much about peace, in the end it was just a means to eradicate us If it’s like this, those who have died won’t be able to rest in peace” (Rudolf)

Upon seeing him utter those words with a bitter face, everyone held sympathy for Rudolf

“The conference won’t be cancelled On the other hand, I was thinking of using the conference to show them up” (Rudolf)

“Wh-what do you plan on doing?” (shi+nobu)

“If they’re planning on belittling alliances, then we’ll just show them the power of alliances” (Rudolf)

“……don’t tell me!” (shi+nobu)

Realizing his asped

“We’llthe conference, we’ll conduct a surprise attack on the 【Deain plan to do such a stupid thing” (Rudolf)

The four of the an alliance with the 『Gabranth』, hile not to the saree as the 『Evila』, also had some inter-species hostility However, Taishi+ felt that their opponent was also so such measures

“For the few days leading up to the conference, I want to leave a mission to you all” (Rudolf)

“A mission……you say?” (Taishi+)

Taishi+ asked dubiously

According to what Rudolf said, he wanted the with the second army division Vale and his subordinates, to head towards the 『Evila』’s continent a few days before the conference There, they would ether they would suppress the 『Evila Capital: Xaos』

However, a single probleed within that plan Taishi+ and co had heard about an 『Evila』guard being posted on the bridge Frouard would not allow thee so easily

When they raised this issue, Rudolf told them that it was not a problem It appeared that the 『Evila』on standby there, an individual who goes by the name of Iraora, was actually one of their allies That Iraora also see that, should the opportunity present itself, they would love to be able to punish the Maou

Although Taishi+ was surprised at all the arrange about the current Maou, as even thought of in such a way by one of the same kin, he concluded that the Maou did not have the caliber to properly rule after all If they were a good Maou, he thought that everyone would naturally want to follow them

After crossing the bridge, they were to conceal themselves until the day of the conference Then, Rudolf wanted theether with the 『Gabranth』, to invade 【Xaos】on the conference day

Rudolf explained that so long as the other side focused their forces on the conference, they would not try for any useless resistance against the four heroes and the『Gabranth』National Army, and would simply surrender

Hearing that, Taishi+ and co gave a sigh of relief It was true that they too believed that there was no way a country without its strongest forces would be capable of fighting against the strongest forces from both the 『Humas』and the 『Gabranth』

After knowing that they wouldn’t have to needlessly injure others, Taishi+ and co held their chests in relief

“This is not a war, but a suppression to avoid the needless spilling of any blood Will you do this for us?” (Rudolf)

Rudolf appealed to them with an earnest expressionThe four of thely nodded, and-

“Leave it to us! We will seize peace!” (Taishi+, Chika, Shuri, shi+nobu)

-shouted out a reassuring line Their expressions did not have a single shadow of doubt Instead, only a refreshi+ng amount of hope was reflected from their countenance

This was not a war If that was the case, then people would likely not die Thinking that, all four of theh the four were dolls created without a single doubt in their minds, only aware of the word ‘peace’

Upon seeing the four, King Rudolf gave a dark s to realize that, the four of them believed in Rudolf’s words and proceeded towards the【Evila Capital: Xaos】

As Taishi+ recalled their conversation with King Rudolf, he tried thinking once more about why they were in this kind of place

(Th-that’s right……we came here to suppress……because he said that this………wasn’t a war) (Taishi+)

Although Taishi+ had repeated Rudolf’s words in his heart, it was clear that the scene playing out in front of him was the very definition of war The sound of swords clashi+ng against each other Magic flying all over the place, destroying everything in its path And within that ensuing chaos, the lives that were easily lost

(Wh-why are they fighting……wasn’t it going to end after we recommended that they surrender……?) (Taishi+)

In his ree of war potential and urged them to surrender, they would definitely win due to a bloodless surrender He believed that they wouldn’t needlessly resist, bringing everything to a conclusion without anyone getting hurt

But reality wasn’t the sa their breath on the outskirts of this country, they had waited for the signal Then suddenly, soave the signal to attack

Upon receiving the signal, an incredible aan to overflow fro to press them to surrender, the atmosphere they exuded seemed as if they intended to kill everyone, down to the very last nificently hit its mark

Even the 『Huan to unsheathe their swords without any agitation as they shot ic towards the defenceless 『Evila』 Unlike their usually kind selves, Taishi+ felt overwhelrave faces

Seeing that scene, they finally, for the first ti of was never so pretty Instead, it had just simply replaced the word ‘war’

“H-hey Taishi+……we………this……” (Chika)

It was clear at a glance that Chika was co of her lips, yet was unconsciously unable to do so Her eyes were red and teary As an 『Evila』child had been killed in front of the the same expression

“Haa haa haa………hat should we do?” (Taishi+)

Taishi+ pitifully uttered these words in a whisper

“Do-don’t ask me……how could I know……there’s no way I could know……” (Chika)

Chika responded ords as though it were obvious, and, as though seeking an answer, looked towards the faces of the other two for affir with her head dohile shi+nobu had frozen up in a daze

But within that battlefield, the four of the existence And that existence earing an appearance like those of their enemies

“I won’t forgive you! You『Humas』!” (Evila)

A single 『Evila』, with an incredibly angry expression, was holding a shile heading their way Although Taishi+ and co weren’t doing anything, it didn’t matter to the 『Evila』whether it had been the 『Humas』or the 『Gabranth』that had created this scene

All that was there was the idea that because they were enemies, they must be killed If they didn’t do that, then they would be killed As they couldn’t forgive those who had messed up their country like this, their swords were filled with killing intent

Taishi+ saw the 『Evila』co towards them, yet his body had frozen up like stone and wouldn’t ht back, he would undoubtedly fall prey to that killing intent

Although he understood that in his head, the one co towards him was a person who could speak words They were not e nuht other people in spars However, he had not killed another person

“I-I know, if I kn-knock hi him then” (Taishi+)

What kind of outco their trehts?

“Taishi+, run!” (Chika)

Though Chika’s words reached him, Taishi+ didn’ta half-hearted resolve, no, it was a resolve that didn’t even reach the level of being half-hearted

As a result, he had become completely frozen

(I-I can’t move……) (Taishi+)

Even though he had drawn his sword and taken his stance in his head, not even his fingertips would move Not only that, unconsciously, before he even realized it, his legs had given out and he had fallen on his behind

“Ah, ahhhh……” (Taishi+)

The 『Evila』 his sword Forgetting to blink, Taishi+ sih, the scene nearing hi to someone else
