The bodies of the peacemen who raided us were handsomely recovered by the soldiers of the People of Light.

Mr. Hagan's body, which was killed by him, was also taken with him.

He said he would carry it to his remaining brothers.

What the fuck.

He still had a living flesh and blood, didn't he?

And yet, hurry to death... no, I was saved by Alice's magic then.

Yet the act of Alice was in vain after all?

Impossible.

Pull the hem of my clothes shaking a little bit of Mia.

"There will always be one, and I will die."

"I can't think of anything, I won't. But thanks."

I give her the best smile. [M]

Mia nods with a twinkle.

I don't joke about it like I always do... because she's enjoying it a little too.

I squeaked and stroked Mia's head.

I put in as many of them as I could.

Mia says, "Uh-huh."

"Cuz, that's where I hug you all the time"

"Unfortunately, he's a lighter."

I shake my head and look at Lucia.

Lucia nods, "Let's come".

Yes, I can't stay immersed in sentiment forever.

What Mr. Hagan wanted was to defeat many monsters in one piece.

I have to go to Mr. Lene now to make that wish come true.

Same as last time, in a tree.

We sit face to face with Mr. Lene.

"First of all, please forgive me for allowing this unscrupulous and peaceful raid"

I'm sorry, Mr. Lene. I'm not well in his voice.

Apparently, you're shocked that there's been a terrorist attack at this base.

The vigilance we had until we got here, however, is noteworthy.

The soldiers were all tingly.

After that raid, I can't help it.

"A pacifist, what the hell is that? Can you negotiate with a monster in the first place?"

I folded the question.

And more importantly, the most I want to hear is......

"The man who attacked us made a lot of spears out of mana or something and was manipulating them. What is that?"

"I got a report, but perhaps... special monsters were parasitic. Depends on the results of the autopsy."

You mean monsters merging with humans?

"That's a monster's special ability, what is it?"

"The man who attacked you was one of the brilliant soldiers who guarded the land, but he was not the owner of a special one"

Is the man's identity clear?

Still, merging with humans... parasitic monsters is scary.

From Mr. Lene's attitude, it's probably the usual means for the pacifists.

Still, this is like a traitor out of SS, isn't it?

Well, Mr. Lene will be disappointed, too.

"The man was manipulated by a parasitic monster, or something like that"

"Whatever, it's possible. He wasn't originally on the front lines to fight. Let's just say something recently came into contact with him and sowed a bad seed."

There's the one who snuck up on that guy and parasitized the monster.

Whether he attacked us against his will or wanted to take action, we don't know that at the moment...

Which way does it mean that the people of light have disturbing molecules inside?

Besides, it was just around the corner from Mr. Leanne that things happened.

Careless, then I'm sorry.

It is a rather serious issue.

Naturally, she has a tough look.

"We are currently detaining a man's wife and daughter and asking about the circumstances. I hope you find out something in the interrogation..."

"Torture?"

Mia reacts perfectly.

Hey, how can you seem happy there?

Are you really too sorry for your carelessness? [M]

"No, there's a way to use magic and only listen to the truth."

I see, that would be convenient.

So, if you have information, are you waiting for future reports?

"Now, Mr. Leanne, next..."

Let's get down to business.

I sit back on the futon again.

I can stretch my back properly and gaze at Mr. Lene.

"Tell me more about the story of the world's demise tomorrow. And how can we avoid it?"

"Yes, let me talk to you."

Mr. Lene, too, must have known this question was coming, seriously nodding.

"In the first place, this world, no, this continent where we are now, floats in the sea, supported by five temples."

And start talking.

It's like a myth, the story of the earth that we can tread on right now.

The archipelago group was the only land that once existed in this world.

The ancient gods made each like himself, and made his family, or man, to dwell on their respective dominant islands.

It means that the people of light, called beasts by men, and elves, were similar to the old gods who gave birth to each one.

Most of all, it has been lost from inheritance as to which old gods have begotten which species.

Because these old gods left this world a long time ago.

Even after being abandoned by the old gods who gave birth to themselves, men and elves and people of light survived, prospered, and increased in number.

Gradually, we ran out of land.

Every race has begun to take away less resources from each other.

Just then, I descended into this world, there was another god.

Call them new gods, or simply gods, against the old gods who abandoned the land earlier.

One of those pillars, Rugor, the god of witchcraft, pitied the people who lived in this land with little land.

"Let us give you the earth."

Rugor, as the words put it, surfaced the earth sleeping beneath the sea.

That is the continent where we are now.

Five wedges were worn throughout the continent to keep the earth from sinking again.

And Lugor advised the rejoicing men,

"If three of the five wedges fall, this earth will once again sink into the sea. In the aftermath, the surrounding islands also perish. Every land life that dwells in this world will usher in a time of doom"

The people worshipped the five wedges as the five great temples and as holy places.

Naturally, no race did any imitation to tarnish those holy places.

The wedge temple transforms the surrounding land into a manaturally fertile state.

Inevitably, people gather around it.

They flourished for a long time, as centres of civilization.

But... a hundred years ago, since the monster showed up, things have changed dramatically.

Even for monsters, these five temples seemed to be important establishments.

The army of monsters attacked the five main temples.

Heavy offense continues......

"Of the five great temples, the underground temple of Rown and the stormy temple of Gal Yarth have already fallen into the hands of monsters. The rest will be Akasha, the Holy City, the Spire of Haloulan, and…"

Mr. Lene closed his mouth once and lowered his eyes softly.

Blurring and whining about things like words of prayer.

Face up, look at us.

"You've all seen it. The world tree of this land is also one of the five great temples."

I see, and we nod.

Is that why 20,000 troops are attacking?

No, I don't have many other bases on the human side, maybe that's all.

After the monsters take one more temple, it is not clear what they will do with it or what will happen to the world.

Nevertheless, it is obvious that something fatal will happen if we think of it in conjunction with the word of the divine.

If we drop even one of these three points in a backward and backward situation, at that point the defeat of mankind will be decided.

This world is really packed.

It's no surprise that everyone is so desperate in a situation like this.

I mean......

"Leanne, this kind of information is not being passed on to the people."

Lucia said in a cool tone.

You've got a warrant.

I think it's the right decision.

"Yeah, we've also gathered information since we were commissioned, and it's only recently that we've finally come to the certainty that these inheritances are true."

"So, what are we talking about..."

"It is unclear what the monsters intend to do to take the five temples. Only that deadly things happen, no doubt about it. And… it's only a matter of calculation that you can't protect the three remaining temples if you just keep resisting."

Is that why, as I just heard, counter-attack operations, are they?

Even if you are aware of the disadvantage, you will strike out.

Problem is, the operation is...

"The operation is divided into two phases. Spray your forces from each surviving human stronghold and reclaim Rown's underground temple and Gal Yarth's stormy temple. At the same time, I deliberately give up the spires of Haloulan and the holy capital Akasha to the monsters. And...... aim when the monsters of the two lands gather around the temple and blow up these two temples where dark mana gather. Calculations show that the explosion causes a wide area of land to be returned to dust to the other side of the horizon. Even if a large number of Divine Soldier monsters are gathered, they will be able to destroy them all."

I see, do you deliberately lure your enemies into the castle and plant a bomb there?

Though it's a bitter measure, it doesn't seem bad.

So, that's the ruin of the continent, so we recapture the two bases that were taken once...

"The two strongholds that were taken… that, the underground temple and the storm temple, were they? The possibility that the wedge there is no longer in use"

"As a result of the commissioning, we have been able to obtain an answer that so far there are no abnormalities in the functioning of the wedges"

Oh, did you ask God?

It's convenient, God.

"This world tree is the hardest to protect in the remaining strongholds, so let us, the people of light, devote ourselves to protection. I'd like you all to join the team to reclaim the Temple of the Two Wedges."

"Can we go further with the metastasis gates or something?"

"Yes. We're already pre-prepared. We're building a secret fortress just outside our destination."

Behavior is fast.

Because you're going to use a demon like you just called us?

Magic is convenient.

"Do I need to make a decision right away"

Mr. Lene shook his head.

"It's about your future involvement. All you have to do is talk to the rest of us, and the others left in the mountains, and let us know the answer in the morning."

What a spare answer.

No, well, you mean you know the other side.

This operation leaves us no choice but to ride...

That.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you saying we found our mountain?

"Yes, the more you follow"

Mr. Lene smiled.

Wow, I wanted you to go ahead with that.

I don't know what you mean.

Didn't I?

Depending on the conversation, you mean you were trying to use it as trading material?

I guess we weren't so trusted yet.

"Once you're all in place, I'll flicker through the transfer gates"

That's what Mr. Lene says, makes me nod.

No, well, do you trust me now that you cut this matter off a little...

I don't know.
