Golden Experience

Episode 81: Prime Minister's Office

"Report!

A very hard and expensive Hills Ebony heavy door opened at the same time as a knock, made by four famous craftsmen.

To enter the human office of the Prime Minister of a single country is too rude an action.

But there is no way that a man of the royal castle, who has authority enough to enter this area, should know of that degree of courtesy.

Did the disrespectful man now say report?

The Chancellor of the Kingdom of Hills, Marquis Douglas O'Cornell, made himself strong without knowing what the report would be about.

"I'm sorry, it was an emergency, so..."

"Good. If it's a fire, speak ill. What's going on?"

Its contents deserved to be stunned as Chancellor O'Cornell, known for his spicy arms.

"Ha! From the realm of demons within the kingdom, reports are rising from all over the place that many demons are emerging and attacking the city!

"Oh my God!

Demons appear outside the realm of demons.

That in itself is not uncommon. Demons are one life in this world. If there are too many people in the habitat, they will not be able to sustain their lives, and they will find their way out of the realm externally, and they will begin to invade to expand the realm.

This has happened many times before, and there are specialized agencies in the bordering city to make sure you don't miss the signs.

However, no such report had come up from any city on the border under the Prime Minister.

"Without any signs... you mean suddenly overflowed, the demon... Stupid."

If you ask for more reports, they say demons are pushing against every city on the border and engaging with the defensive forces.

In some cities walls have already been crossed and damage has been done to downtown and residents.

He said that a rescue request has also been delivered, but we cannot send reinforcements out of the centre.

For he had formed a crusading army against the new scourge that appeared in the west, and had already let him leave.

Therefore, the demons attacking each peripheral city have no choice but to have their defensemen stationed all over the place respond.

"If it was meant to be, I would have liked to have defense teams everywhere integrated into the Disaster Crusaders as well... Was it a good idea to reject what I couldn't do to hasten the expedition..."

Once again there appeared a man who would not hesitate to open the door of the office. Now I don't even have a knock.

"Report!

"Keep it down! Now that's..."

"Sorry! This is the last sentence from the defense team to tell you anything!

"That's the last one!? Where the hell..."

"Castle Fortress City Airfaren, Castle Fortress City Rudd, falls with!

No, I almost got a voice. I didn't have to summon him by surprise to protect his insistence, but the truth of the matter was that he was simply too surprised to even breathe.

Speaking of Airfaren, it is a city close to the dwelling of the new "enemies of humanity" brought to it by the Archbishop first. Earlier disastrous crusaders, arguably their destination.

Often we almost executed events aimed at improving morale and public understanding and other effects, such as crusade army formation ceremonies and march parades, but where the enemies of mankind made us go out at a young age and omitting all of them.

Prioritize speed above all, don't think about the barracks, so much so that the replenishment was meant to cover by collecting them in the streets of the road, etc. It is a policy that could be described as quite abusive, since it was a march in the country.

"You mean you didn't make it... He said it was already powerful enough to devastate one city... No, wait, Ludo? Where is it?"

Speaking of prime ministers, I don't have enough memory to instantly recall all the fortified cities on the border.

"Ha. Tre Forest - a borderline city close to the realm of demons commonly known as the Forest Without Return"

"─ I remember. I have built a city, but it has never been developed because it is too dangerous because it has not come out of demonic space. Now we manage to keep only surveillance going, while we communicate management as a relay between Airfaren and the rest of the city...... Stupid, you mean to let Airfaren fall and the march is already soaking up to Ludo!

Excellent speed, for example. When I organized the army here, it would already be enough to say that Airfaren had fallen. If that's the case, you should have just contacted me sooner.

All peripheral cities are required to report by multiple means of communication in times of fire, such as telegraph pigeons and conductor soldiers.

"No, that's... Apparently not, the city of Airfaren is the great army of ant, beech monsters, while the city of Ludo is attacked by the great army of Trent...... The timing of the fall seems to have been the same for both parties."

Fall together, this can be taken for granted, given that it was a report. That's what I've been reporting, which means I got the news almost simultaneously. Those two cities are in line that it is on the streets that there is an airfaren ahead of Ludo, but roughly equivalent in terms of the straight distance from this king's capital.

If you flew a pigeon at the same time, you will receive roughly simultaneous news.

"Separate... forces..."

According to the clergy of the Archbishop, the disaster of birth should be the only one in one. Or something. Do you happen to say that by chance, catastrophic demons were born at the same time as catastrophic demons that can destroy cities? What a coincidence.

"Such an idiot..."

But there is nothing that can answer the Prime Minister's words. I was going to let the Reeve Great Forest attack based in the city of Airfaren, but suddenly I was thwarted. The Chancellor held his head.

Earlier the next morning, the Chancellor was already on his way to the desk.

Already, or ever since last night. He wrote a reply to a rescue request coming from all over the place that he couldn't respond to, and he was disturbed by how he told the Crusaders that there were no more cities in Airfaren.

"Report!

Also a knock-less disrespectful assault.

"What the... From these mornings..."

"There was news of the destruction, the city of Altriva!

"Ha!?

The Chancellor desperately handles his memory. Was there a city with such a name on the border?

Stand seated to kick down the chair and stare at the walled map of the kingdom.

"Here it is."

A civilian who just jumped into the report points to a point on the map. There.

"Heh, it's not a periphery... isn't it!

It was an area that, when it came to the border line, existed as a cliff with the indestructible highlands behind it, Abu Ommerkart.

Heritage says there is an ancient castle above the highlands, which is now supposedly turned into a demonic realm without the inhabitants of man, but the kingdom simply recognized it as a giant wall because if either of them could not climb a cliff, it would not be possible to descend.

Neighbourhood Wealth exists on the other side of that highland, but trade directly from the presence of the highlands is less flourishing.

The city is made up of barley and other cultivars, thanks to the fertile soil carried by the Confine River, which flows from the highlands' water sources. Barley is paid as a tax to the lord, who manages to make a living by selling it to other cities, etc.

There are no such places as dangerous demons around, nor are there any riches, so there are few burglars out there.

"Why such a peaceful city..."

"The contact belongs to a telegraphic dove from the city of Ernthal in its neighboring city, according to which one of the guards who had fled Altriva said that the city had been attacked by a large army of skeletons,... Moreover, the skeleton appears to have emerged from a certain direction in the city of Verdesud…"

"Stupid...... Doesn't that mean, then, that two cities have already been dropped by Skeleton's army!

What the hell is going on?

On the periphery called the periphery, demons are flooded.

Within just one day, four cities fell.

Moreover, as we have responded, the army, which could be the main force, has already marched in most of them to crusade against the scourge.

Whether it is good luck in the midst of misfortune that its troops are on their way to be on the Ludo, Airfaren side of the fallen cities.

"... what about the Crusaders who left for the expedition? I'll be in touch regularly. In time, I think we'll pass around today or tomorrow, around the city of Lacorine..."

The city of Lacorine is a major traffic shock in the kingdom. From here, you can go along the streets both on the Lurdo side and on the Altriva side.

We should have not yet arrived at Lacorine in our last regular contact. The city of Lacorine had a dedicated pigeonhole. When we arrive in such a city, we are supposed to fly pigeons apart from regular flights.

Anyway, it is no exaggeration to say that this expedition depends on the future of the kingdom, no, of the continent.

It is the other countries that have not requested assistance, but the official messengers have sent it. Since there are no pigeons or anything like pigeons that can fly to other countries, it is a force force to take over the early horses, but it is subtle whether news has reached the neighbouring countries.

If so, we'll have to deal with it only in the kingdom for a while.

I feel sorry for the inhabitants of the cities of Altriva and Verdesud because I think they have been devastated, but there is no insignificant industry or specialty around there, nor is the ruling lord an influential nobleman. Then we should abandon that region now and calm it down again after things have converged.

"The Crusaders... we just have to get them to Reeve Great Forest as planned, huh? The city of Lourdes bypasses and dodges the woods without returning. The streets should certainly have been laid in bypass originally. To what extent is the city of Airfaren devastated? If it can be reclaimed from demons and used as a garrison, we can manage..."

Either way, I can't even fly a dove to not know exactly where I am right now. We do not know when we will arrive in the city of Lacorine, but we will have to wait for that report and share the information in the form of a reply.

"Report!

For the first time in a long time, there was a decent knock and courteous entry. This is the royal castle, in its depths, the office of the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. It should always be like this.

"Crusaders, I mean with the arrival of Lacorine!

Firstly, I am relieved that it did not begin with the contents of where the city is devastated.

"Right. Then I will return the information and the following instructions…. What? You still got something?

"Ha! At the same time, there are reports of crusaders approaching enemies,"

"Let, take the enemy? So you're saying you met an enemy? What? It's not like they bothered to report you as an enemy or anything like that to be a demon or a burglar."

"Ha! I mean with a bunch of bees with massive... ants"
