Vol 2 Chapter 5 (1/2)
After taking down Fort Volks, Regis returned to Fort Sierck
Altina, Eric and Jerome stayed behind
With 4000 Ger the fort if they slipped up
Jerome could only be left behind in situations where he couldn't exercise his ambition
Regis rode the carriage alone
He didwith hiroup now It was a fresh experience journeying with the thousand soldiers transporting goods, but he couldn't calm down
After entering the dark forest--
The e with an uneasy expression
”Sir strategist, will it be okay?”
”What's the matter?”
This is the forest belonging to the barbarians who attacked us soo It would be better to hurry the men”
”Ah, about that”
Regis remembered Diethart
He took on athe preparation phase of this battle
” Don't worry We need to be alert, but there won't be a large scale attack by the savages”
”Hmmm, I knew it The rumor was true”
”Ah You already knew?”
Regis thought the news of the secret alliance had leaked--
But that wasn't so
The ht said with a serious face:
”Because the princess is a Goddess, so even savages that were no different than wild beasts yielded to her”
”Eh? Ah, not Goddess or so”
”Fufufu, I understand There was no other way for that Jerome to lose his duel She really is a Goddess!”
”Ha, haha”
This is accepted bewilderedly
He continued while puffing out his chest:
”We have the blessing of the Goddess! Let's return to the fortress the next e with ease, sir strategist!”
”Alright Well then I will be in your care”
The group returned without any trouble
The weather was great If this was the blessing of the Goddess, Regis had no qualratitude
Fort Sierck was in a festivethe news of victory
When Regis's group arrived in the afternoon, the wide open gates were filled with cheering soldiers, they even threer petals from atop the walls
They entered the parade square
The citizens of Tuonvell were present too, serving beer and meat in celebration
Evrard came to receive them
”Oh! Sir Regis!”
”Ah, thank you for holding the fort”
”You really did it! As expected of the strategist! You are a true hero!!”
”Eh!? Please, please hold on I didn't do any”
”Raise your head Those acco what others couldn't do are called heroes on the battle field!”
”Hah”
They will force the title on hiis nodded hesitantly
He wanted to curl his body up
The heroes appearing in the stories Regis read were cool, popular with the ladies and had lofty goals
Altina should be closer to that
She should be the heroine
”You understand, Sir Regis! This exhilaration! Everyone was in utter despair, but thanks to you, we can share the joy of living on with each other Isn't this an achievement worthy of praise?”
”I am really happy But really I just happened to know And I was lucky The one executing it were the professionals and troops”
”Haha, you are really timid!”
Smack! Evrard patted him on the back
Regis wasn't good with accepting compliments
He saw through ht with an aard smile
”Ora, everybody, the ist here! Hurry, say so!”
”Eh!?”
Because of Evrard's roar, the troops celebrating in the vicinity focused their attention on him
Regis was at a loss
”Ah--Umm Thank you everyone for your support This victory Was thanks to the effort of everyone present Uood chance, so I will break the news Eh-- Beilschiment will shi+ft its base to Fort Volks”
The troops turned silent instantly
That famous Fort Volks said to be invulnerable will be their new base!?
Cheers erupted everywhere
Evrard laughed heartily
”Wa--hahaha! What a joy! Guhaha Cough, cough!”
He choked
The troops and the citizens attending the festival were celebrating joyously
When he realized it, Regis was surrounded by merchants
”Sir strategist, sir strategist, please award us with the contract to restore Fort Volks!”
”I brought 10 barrels of beer to celebrate today By the way, do come to our workshop if you require more weapons”
”How about using this chance to buy new furniture?”
” Hah That is not so I can decide on my own”
”Please help to recommend this to the princess in my stead!”
” Well She did say she would leave this to me”
”If you have anything you need, please give us the business!”
”I know, I knoill look into it so”
”This way please, sir strategist! Forget about business for now, let's have a drink! By the way, this child is e”
”Oh, sir strategist is still single!? Pleased take a look at hter!”
” No no no, woht to choose too I am not someone who can marry so easily”
They were all using this chance to market their service
The strategist Regis Auric was unexpectedly highly regarded
On top of that, shi+fting to Fort Volkstroops and maintenance of the new base
If they secured a e profit
No wonder thetheir business smiles
”Ah~ Erm I still have preparation work for the relocation to handle!”
Regis ran fro
He returned to his own room
The entrance was guarded by soldiers, so the merchants couldn't follow him into the central tower
A different kind of fatigue that was different from the battlefield compelled him to collapse onto his bed
”Phew~”
Shortly after! the door was knocked
Regis was surprised
” Who is it?”
”Mr Regis, it's me, Elin”
”Ah”
He breathed a sigh of relief
Margrave Jerome's htly older than Regis
After opening the door, a lively brown skinned girl entered
She hugged him with a ”Wah”
”Mr Regis!”
”Wooahh!?”
”Congratulations! You were a!”
Moist eyes
Blushi+ng cheeks
And a soft sensation, Regis felt he was turning strange in a variety of ways
”Er, erm Ms Elin?”
“I thought it would be hopeless To attack that notorious fort”
”Yeah I thought so too”
”And all of a sudden, I heard news of Mr Regis' victory!”
”Hahaha Well, the victor is the princess”
”I was Really worried, I wanted to meet you”
”Thank, thank you”
Regis was hugged and stu pushed He tripped over a pile of documents and fell
”Ah!?”
”Mr Regis~~”
This is bad If I don't clean that up
Now is not the time to think about that!
When Regis focused on the present again, Elin was riding on top of him
”Ah, eh?”
”Erm I”
”Yes”
Elin looked into Regis' eyes passionately
He could feel her war
Regis' mind was blank and his body stiff
He couldn't co on
”-- welcois”
A voice came from the door
But the tone was ice cold
And sounded familiar
Regis finally regained his senses
”Ah, Ms Clarisse!”
”How unexpected You actually remembered my name”
”Why!? Of course Remember”
Regis looked at her and found her ice cold s
It made him shi+ver
His current position was stuck close to another women, a bad position to be in
Regis said in a panic:
”Ah, no, this, erratulate me and”
”I see If you plan to continue, I will just leave alright?”
”Con, continue what!?”
Regis struggled to get up
Elin backed aith a regretful face
”Mu~~~”
” Phew”
Clarisse entered the rooed the scattered documents
”This is the regirave's mansion If you want to play, can you please do so in the parade square?”
A needle like gaze pierced Elin
Elin backed away
”I I am Serious about this!”
”I see And so? You think I am not serious?”
”Ugh!?”
”Fufu There won't be a conclusion to this debate Mr Regis doesn't have such thoughts It's a pity”
”How could it be! Men only think about that, be it day or night!”
The 2 wois
Elin's gaze was full of passion while Clarisse's eyes were ice cold
Maybe it's because of how Regis was brought up by his sister, but Regis was like a little brother who couldn't stand up before elderly women He felt that he couldn't handle either lady
Regis backed away once more
He felt as if he had entered the cage of a grey wolf
” Erhts?”
The 2 wohed in response
”Mr Regis is really”
”It’s Mr Regis after all”
”What did I do?”
”It's what you didn't do, Mr Regis!”
”Ms Elin, please restrain yourself If you go overboard, I will call the guards okay?”
”Ugh~~~”
