Before arriving at the mine, Hilda and Archbishop Raphael stopped on the road.

The dwarves stand in the path to rescue you.

However, some unhappy guests are also with us.

The dwarf's neck is pointed at the Lycan's fingernails or teeth just before they reach it.

He had a chain around his wrist and a cloth around his mouth.

When Hilda sees him, she shuts up.

I could guess what the Lycans were up to.

That's a hostage situation.

- Greetings to Hilda Olfalls, the great empress of the Holy See.

Half a dozen monsters come through the Lycans.

It has the head of a wolf and is covered in black fur.

I'm wearing an armor and a helmet.

He looks at the Lycans and opens his hands.

- The leader of them, the Red Moon. I want to negotiate with you.

“Negotiate?”

Hilda frowns, and the Red Moon curls up.

- You're the one we want. Just the two of us for a detailed story. Yes, the human word is I'd like to share a more intimate story.

“... ”

- If you obey our demands, I will set the Dwarves free.

“Ugh!”

The stuffy Dwarves rebelled.

Even a dwarf cannot overcome the Lycan's strength with his hands tied.

Hilda raises her hand.

The Green Cross aimed at the crossbow, bow and spear.

Raphael prepares to pray for magic.

“What do we believe? ”

The Red Moon looks at Lycan.

You release a dwarf you defeated and push him away.

The dwarf howls toward Hilda with a tied arm and leg.

- We are not like vampires. We have honor, even if we are animals.

“... ”

- If you'll follow me, I'll let the others go.

Archbishop Raphael whispers to Hilda:

“Your Highness, you mustn't go through with this. This is a trap. As soon as Hilda leaves, they will attack. ”

A Lycan with good ears. He opens his mouth again.

- If you come, I'll let the rest of the Dwarves go.

Hilda's eyes widen.

- The Red Moon Forest has a catacombs. There are slaves for us. Do you think we would have just killed Dwarves?

The Red Moon's words indicate there are other Dwarves.

The armor worn by the Red Moon was clearly made to fit the size of the dwarves.

That's the proof that he's wearing it.

Hilda's cold expression collapses. My eyes shake as if shaking.

The Red Moon does not miss it.

If you come, I'll set them all free.

“... ”

The Red Moon smiles at Hilda.

- What we want is peace. It's also called freedom.

“Peace or freedom? ”

Those are unique words for Lycans.

- Our enemy is the Vampire. We want freedom, not pets. Princess of the Holy Empire, won't you make an alliance with us and enjoy peace?

Hilda narrows her eyes at the words of the Red Moon.

* *

There was ash everywhere.

I waved my hands and looked around.

The Red Cross has dealt with all crawling and twitching things.

This area seems to be somewhat organized.

At that time, a great reverberation rang out.

From head to toe, a whole army of Dwarves rushing around the village with silver armor.

The one who appeared to be the commander approached me and bowed his head politely.

“I thank you for your help. Thanks to you, the colonists have been safely evacuated. ”

“No, thank you. ”

I rocked the Musket.

“You get such a powerful weapon for free. Oh, my God, these weapons are for decoration and dieting. That's ridiculous. ”

The dwarves look at each other and look embarrassed.

“Is it really what we wrote? ”

“Huh? Uh, why? ”

“It's very powerful. It felt different from our weapons. ”

The dwarves speak more cautiously.

“If you don't mind. ”

The dwarves glow.

“May I analyze your fascination with Muskets later? ”

As I frown, the dwarf shakes his hand as if to not misunderstand.

“All you have to do is shoot. It's not a duel or training, so rest assured. ”

“Well, if I do it the hard way. ”

I also received a weapon on the battlefield and a performance musket. There's nothing I can't do about it.

The situation here seems to have cleared up. All that's left now is to wait for Hilda to come.

Soon after, the Green Cross came.

It looks like you rescued a dwarf. Seems successful considering there are no other injuries.

“I'm sorry. Hilda is taking us hostage. ”

... the results were not good.

Hilda went with the Lycans herself.

The dwarves' eyes widen.

For a moment, their faces falter.

“What? You damn dwarves! ”

The dwarves rush towards the survivors.

I got hit and fought.

I stared at the Green Cross, frowning and watching.

Strangely, they don't seem to have any injuries. Was there no battle at all?

Moreover, I did not see the Archbishop Raphael beside me.

“Is the Archbishop with you? ”

I said, the Green Cross nodded.

She looks so calm when the princess they have to protect is kidnapped.

“Save Hilda! ”

The dwarves shout.

“How? ”

Soon, I shook my head.

For the Dwarves, the Lycans were the enemy.

I tried to stop them a few times, but it wasn't easy to find them.

The Lycan is a ghost of the forest. There were no tracks or trace of them.

At that time, the Green Cross spoke in a dry tone.

“We know where Hilda is. ”

The dwarves gaze upon the Green Cross.

“That's why he did it himself. ”

Why did you do it yourself?

“Go. Hilda will be waiting for you. ”

It was a question.

It is one of the five major lowering forces of the Great Depression for Hilda.

The reaction was grave even though the princess was in danger.

I frowned and asked them.

“You seem surprisingly calm. ”

If I had been loyal to the Patriots, I wouldn't have turned Hilda over to the Dwarves.

However, I doubted that there were no signs of combat.

The Green Cross in masks said.

“I'm worried. But he is Hilda. We believe in his character, his talent, and his talent above all others. ”

A blunt green cross. But a compliment came out when he opened his mouth to his master.

“It is no exaggeration to say that a man is the next successor to the Holy Father. He also gave an order... and, above all, with Archbishop Raphael, there should be no problem. ”

“I'm an Archbishop, but aren't you overly trusting? The Lycans are strong in melee combat. But…”

This time, the Green Cross was surprised.

They open their eyes and say what comes to mind.

“Oh, you've lost your memory. I don't know if even Dwarves want to know about the outside world. ”

The Green Cross was also calling me a saint.

“Rafael Astoria. He fought the former Lord Commander with His Holiness Celt. ”

I was reminded of what they said.

Why I wanted to leave the Monastery in the North and meet Raphael.

Then it was in the history books.

“For Him, Lycan · · · ·. ”

· · He dealt with Commander King Amon with an old Celt · ·.

“Just a newborn puppy. ”

He was a great hero.

* *

- It's beautiful.

A low murmur. It sounds like a forced imitation of human words.

Hilda opened her eyes faintly, sitting somewhere in the chair.

Her arms and legs are wrapped in chains.

By his side is Raphael, the Archbishop, tied together in blood.

He closed his mouth and blindfolded his eyes in order to prevent the sexual prayer.

- I've been watching you for a long time. You've brought down a warrior.

You hear voices in the dark.

As Hilda adjusted her gaze, she could see her surroundings.

An animal sitting on a throne made of animal bones.

It was a beast man wearing armor, wearing helmets, and being fingernailed by dwarves.

- When you hunted my creatures, they were so beautiful. That wretched fight. That's when I fell for you.

Hilda's eyes twitch.

The beast gives a blatant glance and approaches Hilda.

- I wanted to bite it off and turn it into a zombie and leave it with me. But that way, the Holy See won't stand for it.

The Lycan leader looks down at Hilda, sitting face down.

- That's why I want to negotiate. I want to make alliances with you. And that token.

Lycans Rope and the Red Moon lick their lips, giving a wild look.

- Hilda Olfalls, Empress of the Palace of Justice. I would like to welcome you as my bride. How are you? Holy Empire Empress!

Despite Red Moon's words, Hilda stares at him without a word.

Her expression was indifferent.

- I can wait until the day you die, if you wish. I'll make you a noble princess. However, I want you to be with me forever after you die.

She tilts her head.

“That's a long speech. Let's get to the point. What good is our alliance with you? ”

Red Moon stared at her for a while.

- Yeah, that's good. These are the conditions we want. Territories, freedoms, and a certain amount of human slavery. Slaves won't be a problem for you either. That's enough for us.

The Red Moon has tasted better. It is obvious that he demanded a human being.

For eating.

- Our eyes and noses can distinguish between vampires, so releasing the Lycans can drive out the whole, not just part of the vampire. What do you think? A world without vampires. Isn't it fascinating?

Hilda sighs.

Is my condition only a vampire bleed? And in return, give your lands and your people to the Holy See? It's absurd.

“Where are the dwarves? ”

It was an unconsciously cold voice.

Red Moon frowns at his misunderstanding.

- You have a good heart. Are you more concerned about the people than you are about yourself?

“I want to meet him. ”

-Great heart.She was captured for the Dwarves, so the people will be happy. Good. We need to show them the hostages are safe for negotiation. That's how I learned.

“Learn?”

- To the Vampires.

The Red Moon rises up.

Hilda looks at Raphael beside her.

“I want to go with the acolyte. ”

- You take good care of your officials.

“He's been on my side since I was a kid. ”

The Red Moon gazes at Raphael.

It was an old priest. It was also a face I had never seen.

I groaned hard with blood on my head. His hands are tied in chains and twisted.

As a priest, you cannot use magic because your mouth is covered with cloth and your eyes are covered.

Such a weak old man.

- Good.

The Red Moon nods.

The Red Moon walks into the cave underground.

Archbishop Raphael leans forward with his hands on Hilda's shoulders.

Hilda looks around through the Red Gate.

I noticed the surrounding structure.

She looked ahead.

Ding-! P-!

It was hell where the metal rang.

Human zombies are carrying a load.

Dwarves are making weapons out of forced labor.

Tough and always full of laughter.

They were twitching their bodies.

It was a weapons workshop.

He was making spears, shields and armor for the Lycans. It's like preparing for war.

Hilda looks at them indifferently. Only my eyes were shaken.

“I want to talk to them. ”

- A story?

“Yes, would you permit me? ”

Hilda looks up at the red door.

The Red Moon looks down at Hilda and tilts its head.

“Isn't he the one who's going to be with you for the rest of your life? Please. I want to talk to them quietly. ”

Red Moon's eyes widen. I shook my tail to see if I was feeling well.

The Red Gate hesitates and opens its mouth.

- All right, but just for a second. If you do nothing, your acolyte will die.

Red Moon says two Lycans are approaching Rafael.

Hilda has been taken to a large prison.

The Red Moon leaves with the Lycans guarding it.

Rafael stands between the Lycans.

As a clergyman, you don't let him into the prison with the dwarves wary of him.

The dwarves look up at Hilda with their eyes wide open.

Approximately 20 people.

Fortunately, their hands and feet were free.

The dwarves seem desperate to know how much they've heard.

“Ah, how could I...! ”

“Shit, shit, shit! ”

“I'm sorry, Hilda. It's because of us! ”

Dwarves whip their butts or burst into tears.

I looked bitterly at Hilda.

Hilda hugged them and tucked them in.

She asked to understand the current situation.

“Is everyone here? ”

“No, there's more. ”

“How many are there? ”

“About 10 more people in the workshop...”

“How are you feeling? ”

Hilda greets the dwarves by touching their hands.

The dwarves sob, saying they're fine.

“I'm fine.”

“But some of my colleagues stopped due to the stress...”

“Bastards!"

Hilda's eyes widened.

Her furious eyes gradually dim.

After taking a deep breath, she reaches out her mouth.

“What were you doing here? ”

“They were building the weapons they wanted. ”

“Armor, weapons...”

“Can you use it? ”

“Yes?”

Hilda rolls her eyes.

“Do you have the tools you need?" ”

“Armor can't be used, but a weapon can. ”

“Thirty in total. Do we have a location? What's the structure here? What's the form of security? ”

The dwarves answered Hilda's question.

Hilda rolls up her mouth.

It's not a forest. It's underground and it's called a cemetery.

The Dwarves forced this place into one small cave.

This is a useful place for little Dwarves. There is also a scourge in the Hilda territory, the Ancestral Red Moon.

You find the Dwarves safe and know exactly where the monsters are gathering.

The Red Moon was a proud beast. He was also stupid.

He only imitates humans, and his arrogance leaves him and Raphael alone.

It is a truly satisfactory result.

We didn't have to bring an army, we didn't have to wait for backup.

“Easier than I thought. ”

Hilda told Raphael, standing in front of the iron bars door.

“Rafael Astoria. ”

As Lycan watches from both sides, Raphael's head is covered with his eyes and mouth.

“Fulfill your duties here. Hunt the beast!”

At that, Raphael bows quietly.

My mouth is blocked. It's blindfolded.

Raphael hasn't shown himself since he got here.

However, the Lycans had no way of knowing about him with a savage-level intelligence.

He was sent to hunt the Lycans.

The Holy Spirit emanates from the body of Archbishop Raphael.
