49 Freedom Warrior City (1/2)

Black haired wise man Chiyuki

The kingdom of Pasiphaea was attacked by a demon?

Rage asks Krasus.

'In the morning, Krasus' messenger called me and Rage and I went to the General's office together.

There we were told that one of the nations belonging to the Ariad Alliance had been attacked by demons'.'

The kingdom of Pasipaea that was attacked is a country in the Minon Plain, north of Ariadia.

That country was attacked last night in the middle of the night and more than half of its citizens were apparently taken away by the demons.

''Yes, it's in a lot of trouble. ......

Krasz apparently found out about it in the morning. And he rushed to tell us.

'Why are we alone, by the way?　I'm sure there are other brave men out there.

I question.

There are only five people in the room: me, Rage, Krasus, and Eulia, the princess of the Kingdom of Pasipaea, and her surviving dwarf.

There must be others who are brave. Why did they call only us?

''It's because Lord Eulia, the Princess of the Kingdom of Pasipaea, recommended Lord Brave of Light.

Krasus says and looks at Eulia.

There is one fleshy woman there. Her face is calm and demure. And her breasts are as big as Sahoko's. However, it feels a little plumper than Sahoko. If she gets any fatter, she might be called fat.

If you like girls with good flesh, you'll love it.

This Eulia is apparently a relative of Krasus. It seems that influential families in the Republic of Ariadia are treated the same as the royalty of other countries.

Eulia is a princess of the Kingdom of Pasipaea and happened to come to the Republic of Ariadia. So it seems that she didn't meet the attack. And it seems she was saved by Rage yesterday.

She has a sinking look on her face, probably because her own country was in a lot of trouble.

''Besides, I thought that the brave souls of light would be more reliable than the other brave people ....... From what I've heard, the saint-sama has defeated the brave Lord of the earth. And I've also heard reports that others have defeated mermen and centaurs that the brave men of water and wind were unable to defeat.

Come to think of it, I think the brave man that Sahoko pushed out was the brave man of the earth.

''Yes, that's why I asked Rage-sama and the others to come.

Krasus says with a sneaky smile at Rage.

I certainly haven't heard of any other brave men who have played a role. I've heard there are some other heroes and famous freedom fighters, but I don't hear of them being useful.

I'm sure you're not the only one. It's a good idea to have a conversation with them, because the country of Eulia is in trouble.

Rage looks at Eulia and says. Eulia's clothes are open at the chest, giving her a good view of her cleavage. I can feel Rage's eyes going there.

Totally this guy is .......

''Haha ....... Well, for now, can you tell me the details?

I sigh and give up and decide to listen to the conversation.

'Well then, Master Polom, could you tell us more about it?

Krasus looks at the dwarf in this room.

There is a dwarf sitting on the tabletop. He is Polom.

Porom is a dwarf of the Pugmayoi, a tribe of Pugmayoi.

The Pugmyoi are stocky and stubby, and they are only about 35 cm tall when they reach adulthood.

For this reason, he sits at the table.

They have a special custom of keeping a crane bird and riding it around.

They migrate from one place to another seasonally, just like migratory birds.

However, there are some exceptions.

Some of the Pugmyoi, who are close to humans, live in the walled towers of the human kingdom and run the postal service.

In the Republic of St. Renaria, there are also Pugmayoi living in the tower of the wall of the city. They take letters from humans and deliver them to the neighboring countries.

This Pugmayoi called Porom is also said to have lived in the tower of the Pasipaea kingdom and was a postman.

It was late at night and I was thinking of going to sleep when I heard ....... Suddenly I heard the screams of soldiers ....... I looked out and saw a horde of goblins and orcs surrounding the country. My wife and I escaped in a great hurry to ride the birds.

Polom quietly explains what happened in the night. It's a large group that surrounded the kingdom of Pasipaea according to the story.

It's a considerable number to surround a country.

”A horde of goblins and orcs? Where in the world did they come from?

The Minong Plain is supposed to be a region where demons are few and far between.

Where in the world did a horde that large come from?

''Sage Lord. I don't know about the orcs, but I have an idea of where the goblins came from. According to my research, all of the goblin slaves in the farms of the Pasipaea Kingdom have escaped. They must have raided the kingdom of Pasipaea.

Krasz explains from the side.

I feel indescribable.

The Kingdom of Pasipaea is a kingdom north of Ariadia that had a large scale slave-based farming operation.

By the way, the goblins are said to be made to do farm work at night because they can't move much during the day.

To tell the truth, goblins aren't very good at farming. However, they can do simple agricultural work. If you put on a collar and use a large number of slave goblins, you can produce inexpensive crops.

That's what makes the people of this region rich and prosperous.

However, I don't have good feelings about slavery farming (Latifundium).

But if you stop it, it will make life difficult for the low-income human beings.

It would be a problem to stop it by force in the first place.

Should we take human life or protect the human rights of goblins?

Why, at all, do we have to worry about this? I hate it.

If it was Rage, he wouldn't be bothered. A pretty girl's life is important. He doesn't think about protecting the rights of goblins or anything else. He is truly a brave man for the sake of humanity.

'I see, I see. ...... Were there any other species, by the way? Normally, orcs do not form a herd. There must be someone in charge. And who was there?

I ask Polom.

It's strange not to have a commander.

Goblins and orcs have been known to attack us in groups. In fact, I have fought in Nargol.

But at that time, a demon was in charge.

I'm not sure if it's a high ranking orc, but someone else must be in charge.

Yes ...... there was a minotaur among the demons. It seemed like that minotaur was in command.

The minotaur?

Yes ......

Polom nodded.

'I've heard that the Pugmayoi have good eyesight as well as the ability to see in the dark. So I'm sure I'm not mistaken in seeing them.

I haven't met the Minotaur yet since I came to this world. Therefore, I don't know what kind of species they are.

''Minotaurs sometimes come out of the labyrinth and attack the surrounding countries. However, this is the first time we've seen them on such a large scale: ......

Is that so?

Even though they were attacked, it was only in the vicinity, and from the point of view of the entire Ariad Alliance, it's not much of a problem, it seems.

But when it comes to an attack that can destroy a country, it's a different story. This incident could become an existential crisis for the entire Ariad Alliance. Krasz said.

”And now, Mr. Porom. I have to tell Lord Chiyuki about it.

Krasz says to Polom.

'Oh, yes, you did: ......

Is something bothering you, sir?

Yes, they tore down the walls and did a rampage, and then they took the country men and left.

Did you follow him?

'Yes, I've been monitoring their movements after sending my wife to another country to call for help: ....... It seems they have gone into the maze.

Is it a maze?

Yes, the maze.

Krasus and Polom say. There are few demons in this area, but there is only one place where they are in great abundance.

That is the labyrinth in the middle of the plain of Minon.

It is said that a large number of minotaurs live in the labyrinth, sometimes they come out of the labyrinth with demons and attack humans.

However, even though it's an attack, it's on a small scale, and until now there hasn't been much damage.

I'm sure you'll find it hard to believe that this is a large scale attack.

And the minotaurs who attacked the kingdom of Pasipaea kidnapped people and returned to the labyrinth.

''Could it be that this was the work of the minotaurs?

I said and Krasus nodded.

''Perhaps that's true ...... I don't know why they carried out a massive raid only this time. Well, it's what demons do, so it's probably not a good idea to think of a reason. Just ...... can't you help?

Krasus asks for a favor from Rage.

There were some people in the Kingdom of Pasipaea who had Ariadia citizenship. As Krasus, who has the position of being the general protecting the citizens, he would want to help them at all costs.

''Master Rage, please!　Help my countrymen!

Eulia, who had been silent until then, went to Rage and knelt down.

'Don't worry, Eulia. We'll get your country people out of there, I promise.

Rage takes Eulia's hand and makes her stand up.

'Oh ...... Master Rage.'

Eulia breaks down in tears.

'That's why, Chiyuki. Let's go to the Minotaur's Labyrinth.'

Rage looks at me and says.

I get a headache. Can I take a cheap shot at that labyrinth when I don't know what it's all about?

It was the same with Raina. As soon as a pretty girl asks for it, this is it.

But as long as Rage is going, Sahoko, Reno and Nao will go too. And if that's the case, I'll have to go too.

''I understand, Krasus-dono. But we don't know much about the labyrinth. Therefore, please introduce me to someone who knows about the labyrinth.

'Indeed, that's true, too: ....... Then I will request the city of Thessia to introduce you to someone familiar with the labyrinth.

City of Thessia?

Yes, this is the city of Thessia. It is a city of freedom fighters created by our Republic of Ariadia to deal with the demons of the labyrinth.

Krasus explains.

It seems that the city of Thessia is a satellite city of the Republic of Ariadia. It seems to be a city where freedom fighters were gathered to deal with the demons of the labyrinth.

I will of course ask the other brave men and freedom fighters to cooperate with you, Sir Raji-dono. Please, Mister Rage!　Please help the Kingdom of Pasipaea ...... no, help the Alliance of Ariadians!

Krasz bows to Rage again.

I watched it with an indescribable feeling.

◆Sizfe, the freedom fighter girl.

After escorting Atrana to the Republic of Ariadia, my sister Kayna and I returned to the city of Thessia.

Then my sister Kayna and I joined the rest of the group.

Everyone was already gathered in the dining room where we were to meet them.

'How could that have happened?'

''That's right, Leiria. The brave Lord of Light is so awesome looking!

I report to my companion, Miss Leiria.

Ms. Leiria is a priest in the service of the Goddess Raina.

She was late 20 years old at the age of 20. She seems to be a kind woman, but because she serves the Goddess of Battle, she can also fight demons. When she fights demons, Leiria is pretty terrific.

And it seems that when she heard the voice of an angel when she was 20 years old, Leiria became an apostle and can also use healing magic.

You should definitely tell Leiria-san about the brave lady who is loved by Goddess Raina.

Leiria-san is smiling as she listens to the heroic tale.

''That's good, Siz. I should have gone too.''

Madia looks disappointed.

'It can't be helped, Maddie. You had to show your face to the Society of Magicians.'

My childhood friend, Madia, who is one year younger than me, is the same girl, so I like these stories.

She is a sorceress and belongs to the Society of Magicians.

She was assigned to help the Mages Association investigate an incident where a demon in the arena escaped from the arena. Because of this, she was unable to take the job of escort.

She wanted to refuse the association's work because it wasn't worth the money, but a lowly sorceress like Maddy couldn't go against what the association said.

He blurted out that the investigation was meaningless because it didn't turn up anything in the end.

'Yeah, that was awesome!　Her face was great, but most of all, she was strong!　If you're going to have a baby, you're going to be that kind of man's seed.

Hey, Kayna!　You can't do that when you're not even married!　Sister Kayna is a follower of Lady Feria, too!

I chide my sister Kayna. Sister Keina and I are followers of Lady Feria, the goddess of marriage, wife of the god-king Odys.

According to Feria's teachings, the act of having a child is sacred and should not be spoken of casually.

Sister Kayna was an abandoned child who was picked up by my father and sent to the Feriah Temple, where my mother and mother worked, to be raised.

By the way, I wasn't born at that time, and my father and mother weren't married.

I don't know what Kayna's parents were like, but it seems that her father was a centaur.

I don't know what her parents were like, but her father seemed to be a centaur, and maybe that's why she was so s*xually active.

Maybe that's why they are so generous with their s*xuality. I remember being scolded by the priest for saying vulgar things.

But perhaps because of the blood of the centaur, his body is stronger than that of an ordinary human. Perhaps it was natural for Sister Kayna to become a freedom fighter.

This Kayna sister and I and Maddy grew up in the same country. However, that country is no more.

More than half of its walls were destroyed by a demon attack, and those who survived were scattered. My parents brought me to this country as a young child when I became a refugee. Madi's parents and Madi, who was a sorcerer at the time. My sister Kayna, who had worked in the temple and looked up to my mother as her sister, also came to this country with me.

It's hard to be a believer in Feriah, isn't it? The elves would have children with anyone they liked.

Nora, the elf, says mischievously.

'That's right, Nora. 'I suppose an elf would, but humans aren't so easy to deal with.'

Tall and somewhat boyish, Nora is an elf. However, it seems that he committed a crime in the forest where he lived, and as punishment, he was banished from the forest after his power to communicate with spirits was blocked.

She won't tell me what sin she committed, but she has a refreshing personality. But she doesn't look like a bad person with her refreshing personality. Besides, I didn't want to pry too much into the past.

Although Nora can't talk to spirits, she is still an elf, with more keen senses than a human, and she is an expert with the bow.

There are few rangers living in this Thessesia who can beat Nora-san.

She and Leiria met and became friends here in Thessessia.

My sister Kayna and I, the warrior. Madia, the sorceress. Leiria, the priestess. Nora, the ranger.

These five are the members of our warband for now. There were others, but for various reasons, they are no longer with us.

'By the way, Shizu-chan. Did they give you that thing?

It's all in good hands.

In response to Maddie's question, I pull out five wooden bills from my pocket.

'I did get my theatre booking tags,'

Oooh, they all clap their hands.

Atrana's husband is one of the biggest merchants in the country, and his face works in various places.

He seems to be acquainted with the head of the opera company, and he sold me his appreciation tickets at a discount.

And perhaps because Atrana is a woman, she is able to pass on various tasks to us. I hope to continue our relationship for a long time to come.

The bills are for a play called ”Alferia” to be held in the amphitheatre in five days. It is the story of a princess who goes to save a prince who has been kidnapped by a witch.

The protagonist, Alferia, is a princess, a knight, and an expert swordsman at the same time.
