Lesson 13 Four Houses in the Principality
"Excuse me."
Bringing you to the soldiers of the decree is the largest of the tents for camp, prepared in the wilderness near Winkia.
In it, meetings were held in the same way as on the first day.
However, it was not about future military operations that were taking place.
"This is what happened because you were reluctant to help!
"It is on the other side of the country that I rule. Suddenly, I'm in trouble when they tell me to prepare my troops."
"It's convenient here."
When he entered the tent, two men and one woman were arguing.
They wore undisputed fine clothes in the wilderness, and the two men were middle-aged men in their belly, in their forties or so, wearing some gemstone fitted rings on their fingers. Women were also wearing flashy makeup to hide their old age.
I'm not the kind of nobleman who goes to war.
"Who is it?
Check with Mishrina and Claudia who seem familiar.
"Those are the aristocrats who rule the territory of the Principality of Ishgalia."
It is the Ishawood family, the home of Mr. Mishrina and Mr. Gilbert, who rule the centre of the Principality of Ishgaria.
But the principality was too wide for the Ishawood family alone to sum up all of the principality.
As a result, four families supporting the Ishawood family began to govern the territories of East, West and North.
"It's the aristocrats ruling territories outside the North who are arguing."
The first one that was yelling was Count Alan Salall, the current head of the Salall family, who ruled the southerly territory where the problem arose of massive undead.
Count Tent Wilkins, the head of the Wilkins family ruling the West, said it would be difficult to muster troops next.
It seems close to the west and south, but there are large mountain ranges between their ruling territories, which makes it difficult to move large numbers like the army, although small numbers such as the merchant corps can handle it. As a result, the rendezvous was delayed because it had to pass through the central part once.
The last to argue with Count Salall was Count Katrina Enfield, the female head of the Enfield family who governs the East Side.
At the Enfield family, they were prepared to send their forces in the form of a sandwich to the south side where the problem arose. But a new undead outbreak in a village on the southeast (...) side that occurred at such a fold. The Enfield family was immediately assigned troops to deal with the southeast side.
"There are Northside Nosworthy principals, but you can keep your mouth shut without talking."
Behind the tent, an intelligent man with glasses was listening to them in silence with his eyes closed in his arms.
Apparently, he's not going to intervene.
"Have you come?"
Mr. Gilbert approached me as I watched the three of them as they continued to sneer.
"What the hell happened?
"It's a dispute."
What we heard was that adventurers and knights who were supposed to have been on expedition had fled back.
But there were quite a few soldiers in the wilderness near Winkia, but they were all dressed beautifully from now on heading to the battlefield, not just dirty outfits that had just returned from the battlefield. There was no such person.
"It was the rear unit that came back, a few of the conductors."
The conductor fled home desperately.
"It was this morning that I came into contact with a large group of undead. Within the middle of the night last year, I was finding a large group of undead people who would keep walking without knowing their fatigue, but they decided to make contact with this fatigue with the sunrise today."
And the crusade of the undead with the sunrise.
Within the beginning, no one could carry out a crusade for the undead without taking any casualties, and by the time he did about two hours of the great 200 undead, he had succeeded in crusading.
"There must have been more than a thousand of us over here, right? Is it that time-consuming?
I had heard beforehand that if not only the adventurers but the soldiers combined, they would eventually number nearly a thousand.
And yet it took two hours to crusade as many as we did. There must have been some wizards among the adventurers heading south who could use purifying magic, and it would have been easier to crusade if they had set up an operation around them.
"No, because you're the only ones who can crusade that easily!?
"Really?
I lean my neck unintentionally with Melissa in my eye.
Neither of us had the recognition that we had done such a great thing.
"Normally it takes time just to refine the magic of purification, because no wizard has enough magic to purify 200 people at once"
Usually use magic against dozens of people over time.
Besides, it's undead, so in case it takes a lot of damage, it takes a while because the avant-garde, which is in the service of protecting the wizard, also attacks with caution to avoid damage.
For that reason, it had been determined in the field that it was not an issue even if it took time.
The problem happened right after that.
One of the adventurers, who was thoroughly supportive in the rear, suddenly became undead.
"What?"
The moment I heard the story, I was frightened.
The undead is a demon born of the death of a living person. It is not the kind of demon that is suddenly born where there is nothing.
"I don't know what caused it, either. But I'm pretty sure an adventurer who lived normally until a while ago died and became undead and started attacking his people"
……
By the time he realized it was too late, he was in the midst of attacking the adventurer who was right next door. The attacked adventurer attacked other adventurers as he sought bait, and the first attacked and dead adventurer also became undead and began attacking.
I'm pretty sure it went undead.
But the adventurers around me also hesitated to snap their necks because of the fact that they were supposed to crusade each other until the day before.
A second victim came out while I was doing that.
However, while the second victim was being attacked, he snapped his neck with a sword that the determined adventurer had.
He also crusaded those who were attacked by him and became undead after snatching the neck of an adventurer who became undead.
Though the scene was hit by confusion, it showed calm at first.
But after a while, someone appeared who would suddenly be undead in a completely different place just as suddenly.
Confusion that occurred in the rear, not the front line.
The confusion passed to the whole thing, and it was no longer the kind of situation that was dealing with a large group of undead people.
"And the anomaly went out to the military,"
It was then that the army finally recognized that it was an anomaly as well.
As a result, several orders were sent back for immediate rescue.
"As for this one, I'm still fighting the undead, and I'd like to send a rescue unit to help them..."
Most of the Ishawood family's wars are small because they go to the front.
Then I need to get them out of other houses that have rushed me as reinforcements as a priority, but every house is reluctant to make war.
The Salall family in the south says they lack the power to fight because of the undead damage, and the Wilkins and Enfield families just make excuses and argue. The Noswage family in the north had just arrived, so they were not in a position to grasp the situation.
What they fear is that they suddenly become undead.
Though a nobleman supporting the Ishawood family, the Grand Duke felt like the same nobleman who had his own territory, so all he felt was a nobleman a little higher than a king.
For that reason, he was also reluctant to follow orders from the Grand Duke, and was thinking of leaving a little bit of his own territorial power over the anomaly.
All I get is a sigh.
"What do you do?
"I want your opinion, too. Let's move a little."
