The Lion King Valdoroy, who lives in the Land of the Beasts, listens to his subordinates' reports with a ridiculous expression saying he heard something interesting.
Huh? The Demon King is in the Dwarf's house right now?
"Yes, it appears to have arrived today on an airship flight from the Logard Empire.and headed straight for the lord's hall. "
Dwarf and the Beast have had friendly relationships for many years.
Firstly, it is very close to the capital city, and it is within a short day's reach, assuming that each other has an army.
It is possible to leave in the morning and arrive in the evening with a single carriage.
No, if you have the characteristics of a beast and are a very healthy group of beasts, it may be possible for some of them to arrive in just a few hours.
In other words, since the formation of the village, we have not considered opposing each other.
Tracing their origins may leave a legend that their gods were close... but the truth is uncertain.
One thing is certain: there has been an exchange between them since the distant past.
Therefore, even though we have fought side by side, we have never bumped into each other in the past, and because we know each other's history well, we no longer feel like we're alone.
We don't fight, but we don't kill each other.
They don't have enough misfortune for it to happen.
Because we are building such relationships, there are always liaison staff in each other's villages, and an information network is built to convey information as soon as there is something.
From there, it was transmitted to the village of the Beast tribe that the hero of the recent war was staying in a friendly neighborhood.
"Hmm, are you on official business or something related to the Empire?"
"No, it seems I visited at my own convenience.He also said he was going to visit us.It seems that one of his wives, the Wolf lady, is coming with him, so there is also the aspect of going home. "
Demon King - No, Demon Emperor Yuki.
He is now the emperor of the Royal Empire and is now the most present man in the international community.
It is rare to appear in public, but it can be said to have as much influence as the Magic King.
He is an important factor in thinking about politics, and everyone has to be aware of it in their future engagement with countries.
But... that influence is only a flanking factor in evaluating him.
The most important thing in representing the demon emperor Yuki is power (...).
It's not politics, it's pure power, and it's killing Demon Emperor Yuki.
The man alone is equal to - or far more powerful than - the national armies.
Together with the monsters they brought in during the Great War, their power is unknown.
It will be a dimension that cannot even be accurately measured.
I will prepare an army of 10,000, but it is the world that is easily destroyed by the overwhelming.
If you think about eliminating it because it's dangerous, would you be prepared to compete with all the troops you collected during the war?
It's a desperate battle of exhaustion.
Even so, the isolated power of the demon emperor Yuki will be shown around the place where I don't think I can definitely win.
Therefore, we should establish friendly relations with him by name of country.
Once upon a time, they laughed at me as foolish as building friendly relationships with fierce and dangerous opponents, such as the Demon King, but... things change when times change.
"Well, then, we have to prepare for the entertainment.Hey, keep a message for Wolff.Your daughter and her brother-in-law are here to play. "
I was afraid...
It was then.
Light, thump, incoming shock.
The scheduling of the office is shaking, and eventually it will heal in a few tens of seconds.
"Mm, the earth is shaking. Well, that's not a problem.... no, just keep an eye out for me.If you don't have anything in particular, I don't need a report. ”
"It's been a long time since you've waved."I'm scared. Now, if you'll excuse me. "
After that, for a while, there was nothing. The Beast King proceeded with his government as usual, and it was time to start thinking about what he wanted to do.
"Beast King"
He jumps into his office with a slightly sharp expression, a few hours ago, breaks up with a subordinate.
The Beast King, who decided it wasn't just his men, immediately stopped his hand.
"What is it?"
"The monsters in the forest see strange movements.The defenses are currently working on it, but there are a lot of them, and we may be able to allow an intrusion into the countryside. "
According to that report, the king of beasts moves his eyebrows with a twitch.
"... is the cause of the earth shaking earlier?"
"Ha, from the standpoint of the situation, is that likely?"
The Beast King moved his eyebrows and closed his mouth for a few moments.
They are experiencing many earthquakes due to the fact that there is a village near the "volcanic zone" called the dwarf village.
Therefore, we have roughly grasped the magnitude of the earthquake that affects the ecosystem, and from that experience, it seems that the earlier shaking did not have that much impact.
Moreover, several hours have already passed since then.
The forest may be a little rough, but to that extent it can only be dealt with by defensive forces stationed in the village.
Nevertheless, the fact that they are 'numerically large' means that there is something more behind it than usual.
"... okay, double your troops.Bring the rest of them on rotation.Just in case, I'll take the lead.Send a vigilant message to the village. "
Hah!
And the instructions of the king of the beasts were of good speed, and of his ability.
However, this anomaly was an anomaly that exceeded his expectations.
When the Dwarf King and I were talking, it was a single Dwarf who jumped in with Dotado.
Head!
"It's noisy. What is it?"
Probably because he jumped in where I was, King Dwarf had a harsh gaze to blame for his family's rudeness, but without fear, his men continued to speak.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have an urgent rescue request from the Beast clan!An army of monsters just appeared!Ask for instructions! "
In his words, King Dwarf changes his expression and asks him to yell.
"Say it to me, you idiot!Bring the free idiots and gather them at the outer gate now!In the meantime, check the details!Hurry up, there's no need for the Beast to ask for help, it's quite important! "
Hey!
After King Dwarf's men left in a hurry, King Dwarf opened his mouth with an unfortunate expression.
"... that's why I'm sorry. They had to move."
"No, I'll help you too. It's not rotten enough to say to the boulder," Well, I'm sightseeing. "
"... it's definitely not a question of asking a guest, but I'm sorry, thanks."I needed a little strength right now.It must be pretty good that the Beast needs help.They can easily be driven away by an army of monsters. "
"Oh, it's quite an emergency, isn't it?"Is there something like a sign that something like that might happen? "
"... ahh, there's a verse that comes to mind. Maybe it's because of... (...)"
Huh?
I had somehow heard the answer of the Dwarf King, but I didn't expect to hear it.
"... when I was in the [Temple of the End], the magical power of the volcano blew out at once and poured into you.That's why too much magic was temporarily present in space, so dense that the earth would shake.If a monster is more sensitive to magic than a human species, he'll freak out and run away.When I heard about the army of monsters, I realized that.... "
King Dwarf answers in a way that seems difficult to say.
... I see, indeed, at that time, the magic overflowing in the shrine of the end was incredible.
The monsters around this volcano felt it and ran away together, and their "waves" struck the village of the Wesen tribe.
The Beastmen's town is close to here.
I thought, "I've been thinking so much."
- Well, that's my fault, isn't it?
... well, that's not good.
Of course, I didn't do anything proactively, and it's like an accident, but when it comes to the direct cause, it's definitely me.
Because I am the starting point and everything is happening.
If I'm going to go sightseeing now, and if I'm going to cause one of the dead, I'm sorry. Depresses normally.
Oh, no, this is not good.
"Oh, King Dwarf! Where are the corners of the Wesen clan!?"
"Huh? Ah, ah, the outer gate - no, we'll follow the westernmost path from the biggest gate in the town, the Beast Man Nation."
Roger, I'll see you there!
I can't stop sweating. I'll leave this place in a hurry and look for our faces.
"- Oh, yes, there you are!"
"Ah, is that it? Onii-san, that face... yeah, that's the face when I screwed up something."
"Ah, that's right, I've seen that face a few times.I mean, I'm going to do something about it now, right?All right, we'll be waiting.En-chan, please take care of your husband. "
"...... nh, leave it to me, Lord, I'll follow you."
"... ah, ahh! I'm coming!"
Looking at my face and feeling everything in seconds, I replied to my daughters and took En back to the Dagger on my shoulder, and I showed my wings on my back and jumped up all at once - wow!
For a moment, the balance collapsed, posture control was performed in a hurry, and the vehicle remained idle.
Speaking of which, I had three pairs of wings.
As a result, the acceleration is faster than before.
I wonder if it feels like a new booster has been added.
I'd like to test the performance to the fullest... no, it's later.
Hurry up, if this causes catastrophic damage to the Beastman clan, it won't be fashionable...!
