After two days of complete vacation, I returned to work. After a brief battle, the First Wall was reclaimed and the National Army is now on the lookout outside the First. The monsters said the National Army had just escaped. At this point, the pursuit mission is going to be easier.

Although I got the first one back for now, I still can't do the restoration work as it is. If we don't do something about the body of the stacked monster first, there's already a terrible smell. Winter was near and helpful. If this is summer...

The monster's body is being hauled and thrown into a giant campfire by all the soldiers and incinerated.

As for me, I was purifying the big rock that was thrown down and recovering it. A lot of them broke, but I could still get half of them back. These guys will be active again next time. They're reliable.

Mr. Morten revealed himself in his call that he was recovering large rocks and warming up on a huge campfire.

"Lord Massal. It's time to start working."

They are taken to the great hole opened in the first castle wall. The walls are cut down to a height of about 1 m, and you can see well the soldiers of the National Army forming the majestic nature and formation of the demonic realm. Is that the magic? It's the first time I've seen it, but it's not so different from the view over here.

"I want Lord Masar to block the hole first, in conjunction with the expansion of the moat."

The moat is still quite deep. Will it be more than a dozen meters wide and five meters deep? But the moat in the hole was filled with dirt and enough to walk through it. The demons must have done it.

For now, soil filled with moat is used to form soil walls. The shape is fine with a lot of clutter. The other earth makeup is here, and I leave the details to you. I don't think so now, but the dirt walls will be suppressed to a size of about 1mX2m to block the walls properly. When I do it to some extent, I pretend to be tired and take a break.

A large tent is provided on the first interior to let Magi tea in and relax. I should have brought Sati. I'm very free. Satie had me leave a message today, and by now she should be cooking with Angela as well. Satti doesn't have a job to follow me, and I must have been very conspicuous with a woman, so I drank tears and left her.

"That's just great. Work will be done."

Soil Mage, who has accompanied the Royal Army, can also work there, but there is still a problem with magic power. I've already done about a third of the work in a few days. I just want this troublesome work to be done properly.

According to Mr. Morten's story, he will complete the walls by placing stones and hard-baked bricks on the surface on the basis of the dirt walls that I have placed in large clusters. That's how the second one I've repaired should have been finished by now.

I can't help but watch the face of a handsome deputy forever, so I go back to civil engineering. The part I had just repaired had been flattened by other soil mages. Once again, the dirt walls will be lifted and embedded in the levitation.

Since the dirt part is finished, we will follow Mr. Morten's instructions to dig deeper into the moat. He wants to double it to about 10 meters if possible. Could I do it? I couldn't ask. If you ask me to please, I may not be able to turn it down.

Declare the castle wall out of magic around half and a little repair. The truth is, I can totally afford it, but it's going to make me work more if I show you where I'm too powerful, and I'm on my way. It doesn't make sense to just go ahead with the base part because the surface treatment isn't going that far. There shouldn't be any more monster threats.

But when I tried to get back, there was a commotion. A decree rushes into the formation with the commander of the National Army, and people begin to rush in and out.

"Is something wrong?

As far as I can tell, the demonic realm is peaceful. Is there something going on over there at the fort?

"Let's hear it," Mr. Morten walks over to the curtain.

Mr. Morten is back soon. He looks tough.

"Okay. I just got word that the Hilagis border fort was dropped by a monster."

"Hiragis?"

"Yes. southeast of the kingdom. It's one of the smaller countries in the eastern part of the empire, but it's bordered by demons."

They say Hiragis' fort also has a fine fort that boasts a defense that is not inferior to this one. But it has already fallen, and the land of Hilagis has been ravaged by monsters. The kingdom of Hiragis also had a pact against the Empire, and should have made its way to rescue it.

But in this crisis in the kingdom, the Empire turned much of Eastern's defense to the northern kingdom, and for the first time in ten years, the Empire misjudged. Rescue to Hiragis was around the back. The Empire is in a hurry to move troops to save Hiragis, but probably won't make it...

I imagined it a little nasty. Wasn't this raid here just a positive move?

"Is it Yang Moving? I don't have any fussies in mind. But I don't. I do pull too lightly just because the National Army is here. But this raid was also quite massive. It's something that hasn't happened in the last decade, such as both walls being pulled out.

There may not be any particular connection between the two raids, etc. But if you have a plan big enough to invade this world in 20 years, you might have a strategy to abandon so much power and ravage one country on a pawn.

"Who is directing this attack in the first place?

"I don't know. There is no record of capture of what appears to be an enemy general. There have been many speculations that both the Oak King and the Demon Clan are in command."

I feel something with cold spines flowing through the word demon tribe. If the Demon King had been resurrected unknowingly...

"Anyway, it doesn't make a difference what we do. Hiragis is far from the kingdom, so you'll only have to be a little more vigilant."

But the imperial army will move as the crisis in the kingdom has left. The upper layers are rough to get information around them. Movements on the demonic side to the movements of the Imperial Army. We need a closer investigation than ever before. Besides, if Hiragis were to fall, the Kingdom, one of the continent's leading nations, would only be asked to respond and assist. The man up there would have a rusty headache.

Accompanied by a Knights escort, Elizabeth was back for the first time in a long time when she returned to her temple room. Get everyone in the room.

"Have you had enough of Mr. Nania?

"We've talked plenty already. It's time to give it back to Olba."

"Did you hear more about Hiragis than that?

"What's wrong with Hiragis?," Angela.

I just heard from you that the fort on the Devil's side has fallen.

"Where is Hiragis?," said Sati.

"You said southeast of the kingdom, a small country east of the empire."

"So Hiragis is okay?

"Doesn't look like he's doing very well"

Explain to Mr Morten the movements of the Imperial Army. But I couldn't say I might not make it.

"I'll have a little chat with the priest."

Hiragis will have a temple, of course. I wonder if Angela is worried about her fellow clerics.

"What about lunch?

"I'm already ready. I'll be back in time."

That's how I left the room.

"Then I'll help you prepare for lunch," Satti also left.

Elizabeth doesn't work as usual. In the meantime, I tried to show Elizabeth the idea that it might be positive.

"This is the resurrection of the Demon King!

Do you think that way after all?

"How about thinking that far? There hasn't been a demon king in hundreds of years. Besides, maybe this one just happened to be a bad time."

"It's decided that these demons will be behind us. Finally, the demon king is back, and once again, the world is in crisis."

Elizabeth, you look so happy. Shouldn't I be a little careless?

"The resurrection of the Demon King means that brave men are born somewhere. Masaru, when this thing is over, let's go find it! And defeat the Demon King with the Brave!

Mr. Elizabeth. I'm probably the brave candidate in front of you...... no. Maybe some other brave men have been summoned or something.

"What kind of brave man is that?"

The brave man in the tale of the brave man seemed quite handsome. He was a magical swordsman, but unlike me, he was somewhat of a sword-oriented combat style. But there wasn't anything particularly brave about it. The story is that a temple descended and a brave man was found searching.

"I don't know"

"Yes, yes, end. There are no demon kings, and no brave men. Let's see more reality."

"I know, that's about it. Masaru has no dreams."

"Mostly, people like me who go to the demonic realm and defeat the demon king will die at the beginning. It's a role that the brave man thought was a good retrospective."

Elizabeth laughed softly as she heard it.

"Right. I'll stop looking for brave men. There's Anne and Satie, and you can't be too dangerous."

Am I okay?

"Masaru is strong, isn't he? I beat Nania."

While we were talking, Satti brought lunch and Angela came back. We all surround the table. Today's dishes are hand cooked by Sati and Angela and the pudding hasn't been with them in a long time.

"Fried from is good, but Ann's handicrafts are delicious. I feel like I haven't had a decent meal in a long time."

"Thanks, but Ellie's going to be my wife, too, so I need to be able to do one of the dishes."

"Ugh. Or I'll try it when I get home..."

"I'll plant it for you."

"I can cook on my own, so I can make my own fries and pudding as much as I like."

"Right. That might be a good idea. Ann, I'll see you when I get home."

Again, this works best for eaten people. Because at first I started making it so I wanted to try it myself.

Then three days passed. The calendar is getting a lot colder in December. The skill reset will be available in about a week.

The restoration of the First Wall has also been successfully completed, and I am working on digging back even the moat in front of the First Wall with earthly magic. They say the excavated soil is transported to form the basis of a third castle wall to be built.

The crusaders were in total emptiness. That loose monster is almost gone. The investigation can continue, but the crusade is due to be broken soon. They also said the troops with Satti and Elizabeth were just a handful of miscellaneous fish and even marching.

And the next day. We were on our way back with the adventurers of the town of Siorii. The moat expansion work was still consoled a lot along the way, but I refused. Once again, the bishop told me about the temple. The work of healers and civil engineers is fine, but we need to earn more experience. Such a request will be refused as far as possible in the future.

The trip was with Satti but on the way home Angela and Elizabeth are together and the carriage atmosphere is gorgeous. The gaze of other adventurers hurts so much though.

"How is Tirica?"

"I know you're a little lonely, but you're doing fine. It's safe over there, and I'm staying safe."

"Right. I want to see you soon."

"What will Tirica do if we go back and live together?

"Don't worry about it. Tirica, I'm very dear, and I made you Satie's sister, so I mean family."

"Right. If you want a masal, that's fine."

"But I wonder if it's a little narrow for the five of us. Wouldn't you like to move to a bigger place?

"I think I'm good enough."

"I think that's just about it too"

"If you don't feel well trying to live, think about it."

"Right. That's fine."

The return was nothing, and we were in line for a serious walk, so near sunset three days later, we finally arrived in the town of Siorii.

But back in town, I took a sigh of relief. Waiting for us was the news that the capital of Hilagis had fallen.

Although the returning adventurers were welcomed by the people of the town, the fall of Hilagis was more than that news of shock. A country eroded by demons is not uncommon in its long history. That said, the border with the demonic realm, which had been stable in recent years, was encroached upon, albeit in distant countries, fuelling people's anxiety.

"The demise of Hilagis is no longer likely to be avoided. The Empire decided to abandon Hilagis and consolidate its borders"

Mixed with the returning adventurers, we also heard the news in the Guildhall.

Even though I turned some of the reduced troops to the northern kingdom side because of nothing for the last ten years, I could only defend the borders with the remaining forces. The land of Hilagis had already been ravaged when we gathered forces in a great hurry, and there was nothing we could do about it in one region or another.

"Even though the situation at Fort Gorbus has calmed down, there will be more requests for demons in the future. Everyone, please help me."

Yes, the deputy guild chief tightened it and the conversation was over. Rewards and Rank Up for requests will be after tomorrow. Let's meet Tirica and go home for today.

Follow Deputy Guild Manager and Tirica to the back of the guild with Sati through the Adventurer.

"Tirica!

Turning to Satti's call, Tirica ran over to Satti and hugged him.

"Hey, help me"
