54 [1-54] Trap of Grand Sun Child (1/2)

The fire burned red.

Adventurers and knights, ...... rangers who had been dealing with the undead that had invaded the city beyond the city walls, loaded the remains of the undead onto carts and other things and brought them into the forecourt of the temple.

The piled up remains were anointed with holy oil and plunged into the flames.

The remains of the undead that had left the hands of the surgeons could not be left unattended. It is better to treat them with holy air if possible.

The unholy power still lingers in the wreckage. If left unchecked, the remnants may reappear as independent undead.

The undead did not scatter, but acted as a unit. They had been killed not far from the temple and were being brought here to be cremated.

Is this all the undead that have entered the city?

There's still a chance they're hiding. ......

Kaya Runner, a knight of the Second Order, was counting the piles of undead corpses in front of the bonfire.

Kaya is a thirty-something woman with the eyes of a hound. The knights of the nobility, who run the estates, are all men, but the Royal Court Knights are a meritocracy, where neither status nor gender matters (...... at least in theory).

It seems that the undead inside the city have been exterminated and the undead outside have stopped attacking.

But Kaya felt uneasy and unsettled about it.

A bow is only as strong as you draw it. There is a saying, ”The calm before the storm.

Something seemed to be stuck in my chest. ......

What?

Kaya, who had been staring at the parchment, looked up when she heard a voice yelling.

In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the site, you can call us at the web site.

”Sir Knight!　What's going on outside?　Is the city safe?

It's okay, we'll protect this city. Citizens, please remain calm. ......

He was caught just standing at the entrance to the compound.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this.

I saw a knight fall from the sky!

The undead have infiltrated the city!

Are you sure you're okay?

--That's not good. ...... It's only natural to be frightened after being shown something like that. If we don't do something, we could start a panic.

Arnold was at his wits' end.

That's when Kaja stepped forward to offer help.

”Isn't it what you did that brought on the ...... thing?

He whispered.

One of the gathered citizens muttered, and time froze.

Arnold blushed quickly and put his hand on the sword at his waist.

”You!　I'm not sure what you're talking about.

”Because that's the princess who got her head cut off, isn't it?

She said she'd help us if we gave her the king!

I thought it was a bad idea to kill her!

As if this was the beginning of a conversation, the citizens of the city began to accuse Arnold.

Normally, they would not be able to say such things to a knight face to face.

But they were desperate to live.

They thought they were on the verge of death, and they couldn't help but denounce the cause.

”You're talking nonsense!　You are all guilty of impiety. ......?

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be fine. It's not the time to do this.

”....... Hey!　I know your faces!　Remember me later!

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

Inevitably, Kaya took Arnold's place and took the brunt of it.

The citizens of the city seemed uncomfortable as well.

There is a slight sense of urgency in the air.

Kaja pushes up the front cover of her helmet.

The citizens look a little puzzled.

I don't like the idea of using a woman as a weapon, but ...... Kaya knew that in a situation like this, it would be better for her to come out as a woman.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm Kaya Runner of the Second Order.

I can only imagine how anxious you all must be. But please don't worry.

A small number of undead have entered the city, but the Order has exterminated them without civilian casualties.

The city walls and gates have not been breached yet, and we have the upper hand in the defensive battle.

...... We, the Knights of the Royal Court, will fight to protect you until the end of our last life. So please stay calm and act now. Please stay with your family and loved ones.

I was aware that this was a bit unfair, even to myself.

But it's just a way of saying things. If I panic here, I won't be able to protect what I can.

Kaya remembered the commotion a month ago. A bitter memory. ”More than a dozen people had died trying to escape the Rose Princess of Hell by falling over and crushing those who fell.

I didn't want to be in a ridiculous situation where people were dying before the monsters came.

...... Okay.

I'm sorry about the .......

Good luck.

Reluctantly, the people who had gathered retreated.

When she realized that the situation was under control, Kaya sighed.

I'm sure that some of the citizens who had confronted Arnold would have been happy to see Rene executed. I'm sure.

Still, at this point, he was conscious of wanting to find the cause of the crisis (from someone other than himself) and hang him.

I'm sure there are citizens who would prefer to see the undead army retreat in exchange for Hilbert. I'm sure.

But they don't use force because they are afraid of the undead, but also afraid of the Knights who protect the king. And because they are hopeful that the Order will win.
