Coming down to the courtyard in a hurry, the knights who were listening to the message were screaming.
Lloyd's expression, which turned a blind eye to the letter from Mais with the details, was cloudier than he had ever seen before.
"Father, as I said earlier, is it true?"
"Noelia... and Frick and Al."Looks like you heard the signal.Before I headed out with the Knights, I entrusted the security of Abyss Fall to the adventurers, but the adventurers stopped contacting me regularly. "
"Did you send the adventurers to Abyss Fall?"I thought you were returning to the Knights' jurisdiction.
"As a result of Gail's rampage, the royal capital became stinky. Apart from the gestures that I myself could take, I had to strengthen the security of Yughanotz, so I didn't have enough hands to guard Abyss Fall, so I had the adventurers gather from other cities through the Adventurer's Guild, and I asked for security..."
The answer to Noelia and Arnold's question was poor teething.
The best adventurers I've been asked to guard must be in the platinum grade of each Adventurer's Guild.
If you had rushed to support not only Yughanots, but also from other cities, you would have been as skilled as the knights of the Frontier City.
As an adventurer, abandoning a request involves a grade assessment, and above all, it involves your level of trust, so you shouldn't abandon it on your own.
If the report from such an expert adventurer is canceled, it should be assumed that he was defeated without being able to contact her.
"It's impossible for all the adventurers who have been requested to abandon the request at the same time, and when the Abyss Fall contact was interrupted, either the Demon Beast or the Enhanced Abyss Walker attacked."
According to reports from the Adventurer's Guild, Mais had the same idea and sent out a search party from the Knights, but the search party that sent him to the Abyss Fall didn't come back.
"The knights too..."
It's impossible to imagine that the elite Knights of the Frontier could be killed by mistakenly looking at the skill of the opponent.
It is highly likely that the search party will be taken care of at once.
It was difficult to think of it as a demonic beast with low intelligence, since it buried the well guarded platinum-grade adventurers, and even the search party formed by elite knights did not give them time to escape.
"After all, Abyss Walker..."
It is also likely that he was acting as a user along with those who gave instructions.
The answer we can derive from this is a raid on Vigo's organization.
Uncle Margin, I think we should consider this incident as an ambush of Vigo's organization led by Abyss Walker.
"I guess so." It would be most natural to see the disappeared Vigo lead the group and take over Abyss Fall.However, how did you ambush them?Even though we proceeded to defeat the monsters, if a large number of people had acted in the Demon Realm Forest, there would have been fighting against the monsters that were approaching. "
"When Vigo attacked my hometown village, I used something like a hidden coat.Probably, it was that kind of thing that caused the ambush. "
"I see, it's a coat that hides the appearance of Flick's report."By hiding, the monsters only came to the scent-sensitive ones, and it was easy to ambush them. "
Even with strict security, it's too late to see him.
If the fortified Abyss Walkers attacked, I don't think any of the adventurers or knights would have done it.
"I can't see Abyss Walker..." It was a difficult move to deal with the signs alone.I wonder if I can handle it, too.
"Even if Al is suspicious, we should see that the others didn't have time to resist."Even so, you recaptured Abyss Fall as if you saw the guards thinned out.Perhaps Vigo set Gail on fire and caused the explosion was a pastime planned to thin out Abyss Fall's security. ”
"Is it a joy... do you mean we've been caught brilliantly?"
“Maybe. I don't know if the plan was led by Boris or Vigo's, but the situation is that we were moved.”
There's only one reason Vigo wants to take Abyss Fall back until he betrays his master, Gail.
Because there's a facility there that opens what's called a gate.
Open the gate.
I can only imagine that he is willing to make any sacrifice for that purpose.
"Vigo's purpose in reclaiming the Abyss Fall was one, even if he was still his master."We need to reopen the gate. "
"The second big attack... it's just a nightmare."
The disaster that pushed the kingdom to the brink of catastrophe would be the worst of all.
We have to stop it.
“Does that mean that Vigo has successfully recaptured the Abyss Fall and is aiming to destroy the disturbing Yughanots in order to succeed in the second great attack?”
"The presence of Yughanots would be in the way."If I were Vigo, I would be the first to crush a group with the strongest fighting power.That's why I want you to gather them in one place without dispersing them. "
In one place?
“Oh, yes. Noelia, where are the neighboring villagers who saw the Abyss Walker?”
"It's a well-guarded city of Yughanots."There's a tall, solid wall. "
"So, what about the Knights who kept the villagers in the city?"Do you want to go outside? "
"No, in order to protect the residents, I don't want to go out and defend the city."If you defend it, the reinforcements of the Royal Army will come. "
As Noelia replied, Mais also made the same decision, choosing the castle and asking for reinforcements from the border.
I don't think it's a mistake to judge the high and robust walls because they work in the defender's favor.
"Without moving, you will gather the Kingdom's strongest fighting power in one place."Vigo would be very grateful for this situation.For they have a weapon with the power to wipe out those gathered in one place. "
"Oh! Genocide! If it explodes in the city of Yughanots, not only the inhabitants, but the city will disappear."
Damn, that's what I'm talking about.
With a few genocidaires, the most powerful Knights can defend themselves, and even the Yughanots, protected by robust walls, can become a pile of rubble.
"Yeah, that's what I mean. In a letter from Mais, it is also reported that Abyss Walker did not attack indiscriminately even when he appeared.The villagers scattered in the suburbs should be seen to have been pushed to the Yughanots to make the Knights castle. ”
"That's not true!? I didn't expect that to happen..."
“I hope there are no genocide criminals… I can't be optimistic, because the report from Mais only contains sightings of Abyss Walker.”
As Master Border said, I can't be optimistic.
It was Vigo.
Now Vigo will use whatever means he can to achieve his goals.
"Uncle Frontier! I will fly to Yugkhanotz on Dimmolu and fly right away!"If we don't get even the genocide close enough, we'll be able to defend the city!After that, I will definitely recapture Abyss Fall and stop Vigo's plan! ”
The situation is tense enough to fight for an hour.
The later I arrived, the more I felt my opponent was in surgery, and I felt that I was going to be at a disadvantage.
"...... Very well. I commanded the Demon Swordsman Flick."Stop Vigo from defending Yughanots and illegally capturing Abyss Fall.However, I won't allow you to die. "
Got it! I'll get up right away. "
"Wait, I'm not finished yet."Noelia, I command you to act for the lord.Lead the Knights here to assist in fulfilling Demon Swordsman Frick's request. ”
"Yes, yes! I understand!I will definitely finish Master Flick's assistant! "
Hmm, but take Al as an escort.
What about Master Al!?
"I understand." I'll make sure to protect Noelia. ”
"I'm sorry, Al. It's not a request fee, but you can use anything from my collection of swords in the Yughanots."You should be able to master everything with your master's arm. "
He wrote a sentence with a paper and a brush, which he had received from the knight, and handed it to Al.
Thank you for your consideration.
"Originally, I should have led the knights to the rescue, but if I threw out King Ledric, who had just launched the new system, Boris might be able to fight back."Stop Vigo's ambition instead of me being stuck in motion. I'm begging you. "
“I will stop it!”
"Knights, please ride on the Pterosaurs!"I'll be leaving for Yughanoots soon! "
Knights who heard Noelia's orders rushed to prepare for their departure.
