Subversion Dungeon
The next morning.
Marquis Lormalza was told the truth, and all the Royal Army troops were ready for battle at the entrance. Of course, the Knights of the Kingdom did the same, and the Elves were in line next to them.
The armament seemed to be held very tightly.
Anyway, we got to that front.
"..."
But it wasn't in a better mood than I thought.
The elves and humans were all situated a little farther away, and they were just throwing teas that didn't like each other.
It's natural, actually.
Once you fight, you can't hold hands and be friends.
But you just need to keep your mouth shut.
There's no one to hit first because they're crazy, so if you don't say anything first, there's no fight.
Yes, this is the right atmosphere. It's not common sense to have a joint operation, but if you go inside, they'll all be separated, so you can do your job. You don't have to get along.
All you have to do is not fight.
That's the ideal relationship.
Elves and humans can live like cows.
However, it seems that no force has entered the palace yet. They're all just getting ready to go in combat. Now that you're planning something, are you in control?
"Well, nigga. I don't think we're in the mood right now."
Winia said she felt the same way.
"I'm going to ask you a question."
I went straight to where the Knights of the Kingdom are and looked for the General. My position is under control now. I'm just waiting in front of him. Then we need to find out when we can get in.
I was able to find the general by asking the knights who sent me a favorable look.
"Ah, Paladin... are you here?"
Standing behind him, he saluted me with a face that looked quite tired.
But he seems to be worried about something.
"Good morning. And you don't have to worry about me. The grudge against the Elves is all solved. I won't do anything unless the elves protest against me first."
I also answered with a light salutation.
"Yes, I knew that Paladin was a man of honor. I'm just a little worried about the elves. If that happens again, Paladin won't tolerate it..."
He said worryingly, but in fact I would never put up with being insulted again.
No wonder the warriors are trying to defend their honor.
I shrugged once.
I can't help asking you to refrain from this.
"In fact, as you can see, the elves think very negatively of humans. We don't just do full-scale warfare in treaties, but when we dispatch them to the border zone that is bordering Elven Forest, we see such conflicts very frequently."
I don't think they usually behave like that.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Typically, Elven Forest's logs and vegetation expand outward and cause problems... Even if the forest invades kingdom land, kingdom land is kingdom land, isn't it?"
"Well... I will. But that's the problem?"
"There is. The elves think that if the forest expands, they will go to their own territory."
"That's a lot of trouble."
It's not crazy.
This is why collisions are so frequent.
"So what if the forest disappears a little bit because of the climate? Is that land a kingdom land?"
"So we're not at war yet."
"Ah."
If the forest is reduced, does it give the land a pleasant price?
Well... if it's a fucking culture.
This much is not enough for all the reasons to wage an all-out war.
"So there are so many minor conflicts like this. This is the same thing."
General sighed and said,
He's a very capable regimental commander, but he was a government official.
"But you can't really go to war with the elves. They are a very powerful species. Imagine, for example, that the Elf Forester Troops infiltrate the kingdom's land massively, killing peasants, and waging a massive battle. It would be incredibly difficult to stop it. The kingdom of Karga isn't much of a mountain either."
"I think so."
It is extremely difficult to stop it.
I'll be able to stop it.
But as war does, the damage will be enormous.
"Of course you can fight back, but burning down Elven Forest is very difficult, and it's also a problem to hit it yourself. I don't even know the way in the forest, and I can't defeat the elves when I fight in the forest decisively."
"Hmm..."
"Either way, if you wage a major all-out war, the elves will suffer devastating damage. The human kingdom is not the only one here."
But I can't burn all the superstitions to do that.
This is what it means to be at war with a xenophobic nation.
We have to fight until either side is fucked, but no one wants it.
"So when you go, you are ordered to endure the actions of the elves... I am acting with a little pride and honor, but if there are more people like Paladin, I have to struggle."
I couldn't say anything about it.
"... I get it. Anyway, I have an important story to tell."
So I took out the topic, and the general nodded.
"It's an important story... Paladin would already know. It appears that an individual has emerged that is the colon of these hereditary monsters. For now, I've only received eyewitness reports from Marquis Lormalza and his forces, but there's no reason to lie."
"I heard it myself."
"Right? That would be quick to explain. Starting today, we will conduct a full-scale coalition subjugation operation."
"Allied subjugation?"
It looks like the Elves are planning an operation because they have reinforcements.
"With this, I was able to persuade the elves, who were somewhat overcome. because even though they had an anti-human mindset, it was true that they were worried about this."
I think I decided to put a regrettable emotion in front of the threat of a colonel monster.
"That's why we need the power of Paladin."
"Of course, I will give my strength to annihilate the commander. In fact, the conflict has wasted no time."
"Thank you."
"But when are you going in?"
"It would be a sad time."
- Glug.
He picked up a bunch of paper and gave it to me.
"This is our operational map."
Accepting it, it was part of the first floor preaching and the second floor map. I looked at his face instead of speaking.
"The first floor is now subdued. They're all empty."
"I think so."
"So all the way up to the only entrance to the second floor will advance together, but after going up to the second floor, we will enter like this."
I spread out the map on the second floor, and he explained by picking up the location with his finger.
I explored the second floor almost exclusively with Lorma. The place explored was extremely small. That's why we divide the Allied forces into four forces and advance in a parabolic form.
The first force is the Knights of the Kingdom.
Next, the Royal Army.
Next is the Elf Army.
The rest are provincial lords, adventurers, and mercenaries, who are the essence of Marquis Lormalza.
When these four forces go up to the second floor, they enter to explore in their own direction. This way, there is no big problem with the command system, and there is no need to fight each other. It would be a really good union.
"It doesn't matter if Paladin supports you anywhere, it doesn't matter if you go the other way. But remember this signal. If we confront their commanding object, we retreat loudly and rally here."
He pinched the spot on the map.
Once we find him, we'll retreat and all respond together. It's a really fine operation. Nothing can be as simple as it is okay, so it will work its way.
"I'll keep that in mind. I hope you have some good news."
"I'll look forward to it. So let's go up and see."
"I see."
I came out of the story.
It doesn't matter if we all go together and act separately. If we face each other first, we should not retreat when we want to fight. If you find it elsewhere, you can go get help immediately.
"Cat. What did you say?"
On returning, Claudie approached the shotgun and asked.
"Look at this."
I briefly explained it to her by showing her the map. It's not a difficult story. After listening to my explanation, she nodded.
"I don't think that's a problem."
"Glad you didn't act with the Elf Discriminants!!"
"Father, there. I think I'm slipping in."
Seeing the entrance as Ari said, a full advance was beginning.
"Oh."
- Bugs and bumps.
The first to enter was also the Knights of the Kingdom. When they are dressed in proper formal armor, they enter the groin bucket according to their formalities.
I feel like I'm seeing an army squad headed to the classroom to get a mental education in the daily diet.
The next thing I went in was an elf army wearing camouflaged leather armor and a wooden helmet with weeds. They didn't dress well, but the camouflage made them tickle like that.
The third was the Royal Military Infantry.
The last were the combat wizard units led by Marquis Lormalza and the other armed forces he assembled. That old bridgehead was still the Marquis of Wizards, so he made a good organization.
"Let's go, too."
"Yes."
"Nigger Departure."
We cling to the last line and enter the palace.
I looked back for the last time before going in.
The remaining troops stood in a defensive position and were on guard. They will now patrol the interior of the first floor with a few troops guarding the entrance.
*
That's how I went through the first floor corridor, where there were signs of combat all over the place, and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
The stairs were high. The second floor was also very spacious and the ceiling was high. The heating efficiency was higher than the multistorey ceiling rumored to be a dick.
Apparently, I'm trying to set up a command post here. Soldiers carrying materials start to flag with chairs and the like.
This is the entry point in the form of a bush like a tree root.
I looked forward to it for a moment.
"..."
But I can feel the eyes of the elves because I'm on my way.
It was the eyes that still remained.
- Tspot.
I looked at them once in the sense of warning.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
"Oh, no. It's not like that. I was just there. I just saw it once..."
When I asked, the elf shook his head in a panic.
"I see."
You're such a fresh bastard.
"Don't act so fast. The skill of that human paladin is the Guardian Warrior rank, even if you hold it low."
"You have so simply subdued our warriors... no wonder."
"Don't create useless conflicts."
I immediately turned around and heard those words from behind me.
But the Guardian Warrior?
High rank among the Elf Warriors?
However, the command post was moderately constructed.
The ceiling was high and the ceiling was high, so I thought I could make a tent.
I didn't do that.
"Ah, Paladin... are you here?"
It was the Elf Commander who greeted me.
"Good to see you. You look tired."
"Because it happened yesterday..."
"Still, I think you did a good job. Everyone's quiet."
"I don't know how much."
"Do you have a deputy?"
"I sent it away."
Of course you do.
"Advance!"
At that time, an advance order was issued over there.
It was general because I heard his voice.
The knights immediately began to move.
"It looks like it's starting now."
"Shouldn't the elves be on their way?"
"We'll get started soon."
Then let me ask you one question.
"Oh, by the way. Do you know what a Guardian Warrior is?"
"Guardian Warrior? Ah, you heard the warriors."
After she nodded, she began to explain.
"An Elf with excellent skills and experience qualifies him as a Guardian Warrior. It's the strongest warrior group in Elf society."
That's totally my story.
"Their mission is to protect the world's water. Of course, you have to be strong."
"Hmm... like that? But isn't this a big secret?"
"It's not a secret, it's a story that everyone knows. Okay, then. I have to go give the order."
"Goodbye."
Soon she began giving orders.
So all the troops marched on, and we headed to the other side of the corridor moderately. Once I'm on Lormalza's trail, I intend to fall into the middle.
The leader of the estranged monsters...
I want to see what it looks like first.
