Chapter 11 (2/2)

Riku, as intently looking at the figure, let out a surprised voice

It was actually a de ears were covered in mud and sweat His face and ar was unsteady But even with all that, it wasn´t that what Riku was surprised about

What she was surprised about was that the rabbit eared de an armor of the Demon Lord army And more so, one with the symbol of the third army, which was under Gortoberuk

It was clear that so happened with the main forces

“F-f-froeant ent report to the first lieutenant Riku Barusak”

Roppu was speaking with a voice that was close to screa

Because of the unusual situation, everyone in the surroundings fell silent Without doubt, it couldn´t be good news Riku looked at Roppu´s face covered in sweat

“What is it?”

Was the only words that left her mouth

Roppu hurriedly started speaking the e

“The fort Rein is suffering heavy assault froeneral Gortoberuk hiht, it was a eneral´s forces successfully retreated to the Myuuz castle, but at this state, they will soon end up being pushed into an encirclement”

Everybody fell into deep silence

nobody did a single sound Including the gatekeepers that were gathered nearby, everyone had their face color change Most people lost the color of blood fro able to say anything It was as if they were hoping that Roppu would suddenly say all of that was just a joke

nobody opened theirmore and more unbearable

As to break the silence, somebody raised his voice

“Hey, that´s a lie, right? Because, the Myuuz castle should have twenty thousand soldiers, right? Hey, you too say so”

“Y,yes, right Yes, it´s twenty thousand! There is no way for soht…”

“Hahaha, it was a lie then It´s obvious that it is a lie! Somebody say that it is a lie!”

But nobody could say for sure it was a lie

Even if they wanted to believe it was a lie, there was no way they could really believe so

Just by looking at the Roppu, as full of wounds, that one could see how obvious it was that all of it wasn´t a lie They didn´t know about strategies that were deployed against the spiritualists, but for the lieutenant general Gortoberuk to be cornered like that, it could be said that the annihilation of the third army was certain

With much more the reason, now that she understood the situation, the halberd that was being placed right next to Roppu´s neck remained unmoved

Looking at Riku, as unhtest tremor, Roppu trembled a bit

“L, lieutenant?”

“Roppu Nezaarand, was it? Can I ask you one thing?”

Riku looked at Roppu´s round and teary eyes

It didn´t look like Roppu was telling any lies Probably, the fort Rein indeed had fallen and lieutenant general Gortoberuk had been put in a difficult situation But even so… No, exactly because of that that Riku needed to confir

“Did you see the flags of the spiritualists that attacked?”

“The flags, you say? It should have been… One with an unicorn and another one with a griffon”

“A flag with a griffon?”

Hearing that, she unconsciously put her hand near her mouth

Very old

The unicorn faenerations it had been a spiritualist family whose head was always a feirl that should have the sae as Rook

But the problem wasn´t there

“Yes, a griffon flag! A griffon eht!?”

Riku started to press near her th

If she didn´t that, she wouldn´t be able to stop herself fro a warped smile If she were to cal in happiness It was to that extend that she was happy So happy that she couldn´t bear

A spiritualist fariffon, it could only be one

“If there are spiritualists froo face them”

If it was any other spiritualist family, she would just leave soo back to Leivein

First, going to an army that has is about to be trapped into an encircleo back to the Dragon Deainst

But if the Barusak spiritualists were involved, then it was a different case

Whether it was her little brother, or her father, or her big sister, she needed to prove she could crush them

The people that didn´t accept her were now in front of her eyes Was there even a reason not to engage? No, there wasn´t In fact, not going to kill them as unreasonable4

Her ar embraced by a indomitable intent It made her want to break, twist, crush, to destroy until not even a single thing was left unda happiness she hadn´t felt long ago was going through her body,wrath

“First lieutenant Barusak Could it be that you…were secretly leaking information to them?”

The guard keeper that already had drawn his sas now in a severe tone asking her

Seeing the stupid gatekeeper with a stiff face, she couldn´t keep herself fro anymore

“Leaking infor that for them? Pffhahahahahahaha!”

In a high pitched tone, she started laughing at the gatekeeper

Without hesitating over doing it in front of so atekeeper was shrinking away fro for a while, she went back to her serious face And then, she pointed her halberd to the useless gatekeeper that was suspecting her of betrayal

“No way I would do soon Demon Division? Well, since you won´t believe enerals´ heads? Whether it is one, two or three”

Still with her serious looks, she looked at the gatekeeper

While looking at the halberd that was pointed right in front of his nose, the gatekeeper weakly fell down, sitting on the ground Coatekeeper that had completely lost his boldness, she atekeeper, she looked at the fifty de with her Like they were already i as about to happen,into despair

With a tone of voice not different from her usual, she asked them

“What was the job that was tasked to us?”

“It was… Delivering the present and going back to the Myuuz castle”

A the soldiers, one person timidly answered

And to his answer, Riku nodded Putting her halberd onto her shoulder, she exchanged glances with the anxious soldiers

As always, her face was expressionless, but her eyes were shi+ning with ecstasy Magnificently, Riku declared

“Yes, until we come back to the castle, our job isn´t finished Even if there is so the way… Don´t worry, I have a plan
