Chapter 61 (1/2)

Early in the morning of the next day, we were let out of the prison and watched the sunrise.

”I don't think a stone bed is good for you.”

”I am happy anywhere with the Master.”

Kaede's smile is as warm as the heat of dawn.

I would like to sleep in a real bed tonight if possible, but that may not be the case.

After all, he is here.

Perhaps today is the day my fate will be decided.

Murdering the hero is a great crime.

There is punishment for such an act.

I don't know what will happen to me.

But even if there are extenuating circumstances, it will not be minor.

They can execute me in the worst case scenario.

If that should happen... I will have to release Kaede.

Now we can't leave too much behind.

It doesn't matter where she goes. She has to be able to live a happy life.

”Well, let's get on with our journey.”

”Yes” ”Gotcha” ”Kyui.”

Not far from the fortress city of Lawana, there is a huge outer wall.

This is the wall that separates the demon side from the human side.

And beyond, there was the front, the battlefield.

Beyond the horizon, a citadel stands at the entrance to the Dark Kingdom.

Fortunately for us, we easily got through the wall, thanks to the fact that we were well known.

We visited a camp with an army of humans.

As we enter the countless tents, we see soldiers running towards us with spears.

The air is tense and tense.

Honestly, I don't think I want to stay here very long.

Boom

The sound of an explosion echoes in the distance.

It seems that many wizards have been recruited to take down the fort.

”What's the situation?”

''It's not good. Denas the Sixth General is wiping us all out, and we can't seem to get through the entrance to the citadel.''

”Where's the hero! He was supposed to be here with us!”

”He's been on a losing streak against Denas. I think they're still struggling.”

”Damn it, we're just adding to the casualties! Isn't there someone with more power here?”

A man in cloak and armor was shouting in the distance.

From the looks of it, the battle situation does not look very good.

He digressed to us and gave us an angry look.

”Who are you? No one but the military is allowed in.”

”We are a party of adventurers called the Manyu Brigade. We are here looking for a hero.”

”...Manyu Brigade?”

The man ran to me and grabbed my right hand.

”'You've come to the right place! We've been waiting for renowned heroes like you! Your arrival will change the course of the war!”

”Um, where's the hero?”

”If you're looking for the hero, you can go to that demon's fort! You can attack him too! Dahahahahaha!”

What's up with this guy? He's in a really good mood right now.

But I don't care. Now I know where Sain is.

The fort, huh.... I'm going to tear it down, but only because it stands in my way.

It's time to confront my former best friend.

I won't let anyone come between me and him.

I bowed to the man and headed for the fort.

Soldiers flock to the huge citadel.

Gonk Flush

Countless catapults hurl stones, but the walls are high and thick and bounce back.

Plank Graang

A large number of golems were advancing forward, but were shattered midway by arrows and magic fired from the citadel.

I'm nervous because this is the real battlefield.

After all, adventurers are just amateurs.

We are not trained for combat like soldiers or mercenaries.

”Master, there it is.”

”...Ho.”

At the entrance to the citadel.

There was a group of people fighting fiercely.

I pulled out my big sword that I had on my back.

”Panda, come back. Rosuke, come out.”

”Kyu!”

”Sha!”

I had Panda return to the seal and brought Rosuke out to join me in the fight.

In addition, I activated Rosuke's mega boost.

Mekimeki Mekimeki Mekimeki.

Rosuke's body grew three times its size, and countless large, sharp blades appeared all over his body.

His silver body rippled in the air, the light reflected blindingly.

”Support the military!”

”Shaaa!”
