Episode 8: Moving Mountains
The day after the punishment was inflicted between the sights.
People like knights, soldiers, and soldiers were gathered by the emperor.
The general rises from the chair.
"Start by describing the situation"
A map of the Empire is affixed to the walls of the room.
It is an indispensable substitute when carrying out military activities and is detailed to the position of the small village, starting with the topography.
The general points to the northeast of the empire with an instruction stick.
"Mount Cartea, now northeast of the Imperial Capital, has slowly begun its journey"
……
A room that gets noisy all at once.
- The mountains are moving.
It's an incredible situation, but the mountains are actually moving. There are no more mountains in places that have been around for a long time, and there are mountains elsewhere.
"Be quiet. As I'm sure you've already heard, I got intel from one person yesterday and succeeded in simultaneously picking up a spy who was diving into the empire. However, spies who felt a sense of crisis as a distressed resistance used magic tools before they were caught"
That's the information I got from Zido.
Feeling critical because of the lack of reaction from the hiding place, Zido planned to move the mountain to attack the Imperial Capital by using a certain magic tool.
The plan is to escape while the Empire is wrecking nothing against the coming mountains. Even if he could not escape, by the mountain he could die without being spit out information. He could also kill me to dispose of it first.
Such thoughts existed in Zido.
"I was getting this information so I could act in advance"
Mountains move - you can't expect such a thing, and by the time you embrace reality, you're forced to the tip of the eyes and nose of the Empire.
If we get that far, the Empire will panic.
Zido had a good chance of the plan succeeding because he just had to endure it until then.
"The mountains continue to travel towards the imperial capital. From the speed of travel, it will be five days before we reach Imperial City. I'm very fortunate to have had the time of the last five days."
Five days is enough to counter the mountain.
Worst of all, we need to let the people in the Empire escape in five days, even if we couldn't do anything. I'm talking about the level of whether or not you'll make it in time given the number of people in the Imperial Capital, but it's not like it's easy for me to tell you to abandon all your previous lives and run away.
"Intelligence units with information made contact with troops in the northeast and sent them to investigate"
A 'distant crystal' that allows conversation with distant places. Use it to contact units waiting away from Teito.
A few hours later a report was brought.
"The village that was already at the foot of Mount Carthea is devastated - no, it seems that it is trampled and peshanco and only the wreckage is scattered. He escaped at full speed when it came to the villagers, but he couldn't escape because of the mountains moving in front of him."
Villagers trampled just like villages.
There's even human damage already.
and even villages and towns at the end of the village at the foot. The sight of the mountain moving was obvious from anyone's eyes, so he quickly escaped. But only a small amount of baggage I was able to bring out left me with memorable items.
"I can't believe this happened."
"I don't have a choice. No one can expect a mountain to move."
Me watching the meeting in the corner of the room.
There is only Ira next door as an escort.
Ira tells me she can't help it, but there's one end to the problem with me hunting down the Lengens. We have to do more than that.
"We must do something about this as protectors of the Empire."
……
The return of what seeks approval is silent.
Nobody knows how to fight a mountain against them.
"May I?
"Oh."
One soldier rises.
I'm guessing he's in quite a position because of a few class chapters attached to military uniforms.
"Mountain - says Mount Carthea is moving, what is the situation? We didn't actually see it moving, so we don't understand the threat."
Indeed he is right.
There's no way the mountain can move, so you can't imagine where the words "the mountain is moving" taught you.
Above all, I can't believe it with my own eyes.
A general puts a crystal on his desk.
The crystal is tiny compared to a large room with a palm size.
"This' Far Tale Crystal 'is connected to the troops we sent to Mount Carthea. You'd understand better with your own eyes what the situation is now."
The "Far Tale Crystal" shows what Mount Cartea looks like today.
……
I felt someone breathtaking.
Not everyone in the room can be seen because the "Far Tale Crystal" itself is small. Still, I can see something huge moving slowly though.
"Stupid...... the mountain is really moving......"
"It's quite a size compared to the trees on the ground."
"How am I supposed to deal with this stuff?
I am in the middle of something that crosses my own common sense.
At that time, the 'Far Tale Crystal' shows people running on the ground and running away. Those on the run are desperately running, but their opponents are huge mountains. He couldn't have escaped. He was crushed because he fell along the way.
Inside was the figure of a mother with a young child.
"Mars!"
"Chi......"
That appearance overlapped Ira with herself and Sierra.
There's not much I can do right now. Give instructions to eagles the size of people to grab their mother's shoulders with their feet. Shortly after he was grabbed, he was a mother desperately trying to escape, but he decided that he had helped me to the sight of walking away faster than running himself off Mount Carthea or grown up.
I wasn't going to use it for this because it was a demon I was sending out for reconnaissance.
Gun!
Rio's sword is slapped on the floor of the room.
"The people gathered here are those who work in training under the assumption of policing the Imperial capital and war against other countries - that is, not those who assume to fight their opponents with insane powers like demons"
It's the adventurer's job to crusade those beings.
It wasn't like there was a job takeover between soldiers and adventurers because they were pulling the line that way.
"But everyone here should be proud of defending the Empire - the country. I asked the Adventurer Guild to issue a 'mandatory request' for this emergency"
Mandatory Request - A request sent to all adventurers belonging to the Adventurer Guild and basically cannot be rejected. It may be refused, but there are heavy penalties, such as disqualification of the adventurer, if the highly-ranked adventurer refuses. High-ranking adventurers benefit from the Alliance, so it's like consideration for that.
However, we are not subject to compulsory requests for mere coincidences.
It hasn't... but the reward is good because it will force you to make a life-threatening request. Besides, there's nothing like being ketched this time because it's a request put out by Rio, the emperor. It may also be ant to join.
"The adventurers are bound to participate. Can you guys just keep losing to them? Can we leave our work to the adventurers?"
"No, that's not true."
"Fortunately, you don't have to deal with the mountains. Then it might be possible to deal with just the face of being here without the help of an adventurer"
"That's just..."
Knight of Weakness.
Wrong because I think we have to deal with the mountains.
"Do you guys really think the mountains are moving?
"Is it not?
"There's no reason for the mountains to move. In fact, there are just giant demons moving like mountains that I mistakenly thought were mountains because they haven't moved for hundreds of years. And if you call it a demon, there's a sure way to deal with it."
Destroy the demonic stones that exist in your body.
That's the weakness that all demons have in common.
I don't know where it is in my body. Find and destroy the Demon Stone. That's about the only way I know how to attack Mount Carthea so far.
"If you are willing to defend the Empire at all, a mighty enemy will go to war with you. That's what military men do."
