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

If the Order collapses, ...... what will happen? It's not surprising that the same thing is happening in the city, as Kaya was able to contain the situation. If the citizens are confused, it will affect the Order's actions.

Somewhere in the back of Kaya's mind, an evil god is whispering, ”Why don't you just give Hilbert away?

But for now, we must unite. I had a feeling that if we messed up our minds, they would just take advantage of us.

”Captain, come here!　There's a fight at .......

Kaya was roused from her reverie by a voice.

One of her men was running towards her in a panic.

...... What happened?

It's not unusual for bloodthirsty warriors to get into fights, no matter how proud the royal knights are.

But rarely does it turn into a fight to the teeth. This was an unusual situation.

At the back of the temple, one of Kaya's men and one of Arnold's men were both slumped over, restrained by their colleagues.

Of all people, both of them had drawn their swords, and both of them were wounded.

The priest who rushed to the scene applied ”Regeneration” and the knights around him were tending to the wounds.

”Hey, you guys pull out your swords for a fight? What kind of bandits are you?

Even if we were to duel, now would not be the time.

”This one!

One of Kaya's men held out his sword and pointed at the other.

The Second Order is probably making a deal with the undead. ......!

What?

When Kaya looked at the other side, he shouted back at her.

That's crazy!　Three of my colleagues died in front of me!　Three of my colleagues died in front of me, and the second guy I was with didn't even get a scratch on him!

That's a coincidence!

There's no such thing as coincidence!　The second knight didn't die at all in such a fierce battle!

Yes, that's what Kaya thought was unnatural too.

The undead soldiers had only selected the First Order to kill.

Even the ones who had invaded the city hadn't laid a hand on the citizens.

Kaya thought it was creepy, but not from the First Order's point of view.

”...... Arnold.

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

And then he crouched down in front of the knight who had been fighting.

Calm down. That's not for me to say now. It's not for you to decide. It's up to the Lord Commander to look into it and make a decision.

...... I'll put your suspicions in the Lord Commander's ear. So for now, don't talk nonsense and just do what you're told.

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I'm not a fan of coups (like that)!　I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm going to run away with my mother!

I'm not sure what to say.　I'll throw away this armor!　Running away before the enemy is a felony!

Shut up!

d*mn it, get him!

The knights around him jumped at the rampaging knight and rushed towards him.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

He was dragged away. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

Arnold was standing protectively over his subordinates, applying a pressure that was almost deadly.

”...... Are you kidding me?

”It's up to you, Lord Commander. But I'll be careful enough to protect myself.

Oh, calm down. I wouldn't do that. ......

............

The two of them stared at each other as if they were facing each other on the battlefield in the stinging air, and then they retreated from each other.

And then they both retreated.

The bonfire was still going on.

The glittering torch was the result of the victory over the undead, but even seeing it did not clear Kaya's mind.

If ...... were to make a deal with the undead to leave, do you think we should take the deal?

”What?

”Hypothetically. If they're only interested in the First Order and His Majesty from the start, it's probably not a good idea to provoke them. ......

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

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

It is not possible for the first and second knights to work together properly in this situation.

It's okay for now, but what will happen when the battle begins? ......

--Why did the undead retreat?

You're not going to say, ”We're giving you time to doubt each other,” are you?

It may have been justified, but Kaya was still annoyed.

Citizens are suspicious of the Knights, and the Knights see the shadows of their enemies in each other. ......

A divergence in consciousness between those who were in danger and those who were safe: ......

If the battle had gone on forever, there would have been no time to think about anything else and everyone would have been frantic.

Now that there is time to catch your breath, there is a creaking sound of gears shifting somewhere.

At that moment, I felt a burning sensation in my chest.

I took out the caller ID that I had stored away, and the letters on the surface glowed red, radiating a wave of power.

...... Lord Commander.

I stroked the surface and activated it, and a voice came from there.

The voice was a bit whimsical and lax, but full of wit.

”Can you hear me?　Can you hear me? This is your next mission. There's going to be a big change in deployment, so listen up and don't make any mistakes.

To be honest, Kaya was relieved.

Our Lord Commander still has a next move. Then we're still in good hands.
