Chapter 4 Episode 24
Editor : Starbuck11
Near the Zalda Kingdom’s border
A group of certain people ran through the road crossing the large forested area, heading toward the northwest
It was an area where trading was not very popular
On top of that, thanks to ErnestGora’s uncertain hway
That hy, no matter how fast they ran the horse, no traffic accidents ever happened
Even from the distance, the noise of the horses' hooves could be heard
And after the people saw the dust and dirt flying about in the distance, they would immediately move to the side
The group was dressed in poor clothes
With the exception of the highway that was being protected by a barrier for safe travel, right now they used the side road probably to shorten the distance
The fluttering mantles they used looked worn out, tattered in so from their body, it made one wonder for how many days they had not taken a bath
Probably, they also never stayed at the inn during the journey and choose to use camp
If they didn't bring weapons while riding horses, people who saw theees who escaped the war
On the face of the group of about twenty people, fatigue can be seen clearly
”Leader, I can see it!'
One young knight who leads the group looked back and shouted
He was given the duty of scout, leading the group toward the land occupied by ErnestGora
A sense of relief that he was finally going to get released fro pressure, can be felt from his voice
Everyone directed their eyes toward the direction where the royal knight pointed
”That is the northern city,Menviz”
Looking at the direction pointed, Oosan Gurido and Ryouradually could see the shape of the city
Eventually, Ryou the city clearly
One year had passed since ErnestGora occupied Menviz which was the Zalda Kingdom's important northern city
The flags of the ErnestGora Kingdo on the city's walls
”Ah, Indeed Finally”
Ryouht toward the city walls without reducing the speed of his horse -
”It has been four days”
A frustratedfrom Ryouma could be heard by the Marfisto sisters who ran their horses in parallel with him
”I think this is considerably faster than norht while strengthening the horses with ed horses whenever we passed soed to reduce the time spent for the horses to rest”
Confir Laura's remark, Sara nodded her head in silence
They had iranting theed totime
With suchnonstop, while alsouse of Gurido's position as a leader of the Royal Guard, they changed horses whenever possible
”Well, I guess it can't be helped”
Ryouain
”Are you feeling dissatisfied?”
After he shakes his head to Sara's worried words, Ryouain
(Dissatisfied, indeed I feel dissatisfied, but it would be no use for me to voice it either damn it, will I make it in time?)
Although hly versatile and convenient, it didn't es either
Fatigue would accuh its physical staic arts
For that reason, they switched horses whenever possible -
Furtheres and clothes, so as not to further exhaust the horses' physical strength
Many of the Zalda Kingdohts accoht leather armors just like mercenaries
They also didn't bring their sword and shi+eld that have the Zalda Kingdouessed that they were knights
Only a one-handed sword hung around their waist could be seen
There were neither spears nor any other replacement weapons
Other than that, only portable water bottle and a s on the saddle
Looking at their light dresses and equipoing on a journey
Although they replenish their s the way, unlike the ht happen during a journey
Actually, if it was the usual Mikoshi+ba Ryouo on a trip with such equipment
But because he was in a great hurry, he had no choice other than to gamble on it
(If it's those two then they should be able to buy us a few days, but the number of soldiers co the topography, we need at least ten days Even if we ht not arrive in time for the decisive battle)
Lione and Joshua's appearance appeared inside Ryouma's mind
As his close associate and trusted confidant, he had confidence in Lione's ability to command
In addition, although Ryouma only met him for a brief time, Ryouma felt Joshua had the same smell as him
He was not worried about their abilities
However, no matter how successful the surprise attack tactics they had used to disturb the advancing supplies transportation, there were still li
(I hope, that ErnestGora's queen is someone capable just like the rumor said)
Of course, there was the prospect of victory, but it was not an absolute one
Thinking like that, Ryou
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
”I see, you're the Zalda Kingdoly, you're quite young To shoulder the fate of a country with such young age, you must be quite the caliber, eh?”
In a room where Ryouma and Osan Gurido were shown, Awith a smile on his face
Despite the sudden visit, he didn't show any dissatisfied expression
In fact, it felt like he was saying that they arrived according to their schedule
(As expected, they ed to read our movement, huh? But well, it's not the time to think about that)
The ate, the people froathered infor identity check when they passed the gate
Since even if they sewed the crest of the Zalda royal family on their mantle, it was not a proof of their identity, because such a thing could be easily forged
”Oh, that was rude ofmyself My name is Arnold Grisson I hold the position of General in the ErnestGora ar officer of the Eastern Theatre”
He was a skinnyface
He didn't look so healthy
