Me, Rooty, Litt, Tise and Uge Uge, Missphere, Lilin Lara, and subordinate High Elves.

With this member we rushed to Minato Ward.

The town was full of fleeing crowds, but no one has been injured in a battle.

"stupid"

Lilinrara is stunned as she looks down at the Veronian flag flying around the Minato Ward.

"Impossible"

"The only external force currently around Zoltan is the Veronian army. The Zoltan side will not bother raising their opponent's flag."

But you can see why Ririn Lara is stunned.

The troop dispatch is dogma of Prince Salius and Lilinrara.

Avalon continental generals and aristocrats generally have the authority to use their army almost freely. There are common cases of skirmishes between lords and the general intervention of the arbitrarily.

It is no exaggeration to say that a kingdom is a collection of countless lords, and that a king is merely an ally with superiority over those lords.

In this regard, the Demon King's army concentrates power with the Demon King at the top, and the Shitenno and commander-class demon heading each division only take charge of the army owned by the Demon King and take command. Unlike the Avalon lords who have their own troops, they are not responsible for feeding their troops during peacetime, but only to achieve ordered strategic goals with the given troops. Can be done.

This may be the reason why the Avalon Continental Allied Forces, which gathered the army of the lords, have repeatedly failed.

But despite the heir to the throne and the generals of Veronia's highest command, if he engages in combat without the King's permission, he needs good reasons.

And for Veronia, who is now neutral, it would not be forgiven for any reason to invade other nations without royal death. That warship is merely a threatening diplomacy against unknown Zoltans. Given the circumstances, it was Prince Salius who was in distress.

Unlike privateering with the military flag lowered, invading the territory with the military flag is a problem that the Allies cannot overlook. In any case, Veronia will have to make concessions to the Allies.

At least if Leonor has the political sensibility that Lilinrara speaks of, it's enough to stab Prince Salius.

"But, apparently, there is no smoke. I don't smell the fight."

In the words of Litt, Lilinrara looks back. .

In a battle in the Principality of Loggervia, Litt dislikes the appearance of his homeland being burned.

From its lit, the town has no trace of the battle.

"Sure, it seems to me. I would have told the Zoltan Army that if Veronian troops were coming in, they would give priority to the evacuation of citizens and withdraw quickly. Minato Ward was originally small in population. There may have been no fighting or looting. ''

The principle of military law is to defend before landing, but in the unlikely event of a war, Zoltan has no chance to win,

There is no choice but to withdraw and continue diplomatic efforts without any damage ... Of course, if Luti and Tise do not fight.

If they fight, they won't be as good as one warship.

But still two. Not a little damage is done before the army attacking the city collapses.

Above all, I don't want to return the laid-back Rooties back to the bloody battlefield ... but can't they say that sweet?

"I'll look at it from above."

Tise ran up the wall of a nearby warehouse and looked around from the roof.

"You can see Zoltan's flag over there, including the flag of Zoltan general William Sir."

"Can you see the army?"

"Sir William's dragoon cavalry is on board, but we can't help gathering cavalry in that town."

"I'm an old general with no actual experience. Don't say too much."

If you go there, you will see what happened.

Suppose we join there too.

Zoltan's Minato Ward is susceptible to storms, and all buildings are unreliable, with an emphasis on being easy to build.

This warehouse, where Sir William is located, is also made of wood, not brick, and the walls are muddy walls that collapse when touched.

Suddenly the sky was covered with black clouds.

It may rain.

"Oh! Is that Lirin Lara!"

Sir William shouted as he saw Lilinrara.

"Sir William, why about Lilin Lara?"

The capture of Lilinrara must not have been reported to the Zoltan authorities yet.

"It was absolutely necessary to return Lilin Lara and three of his subordinates from those who occupied the port, paying 42,000 peril for the ransom and releasing the occupied Minato ward, as well as reparations. We have set a condition to pay an additional 8000 peril for gold. "

"It's crazy."

Despite the bullish occupation, it is a condition of concession.

Somehow, I get an incoherent impression.

According to Lilinrara, Prince Salius should not be an incompetent royal family.

"I don't know how he caught Lilinrara, but I'm reassured that he brought me in. I'll send her a messenger at once.

Sir William was apparently relieved on his face.

It seems that Oita was occupied by the opponent who had no chance of winning and was told to return the prisoners he had not captured.

"Wait, we don't know what's going on yet, and the one who just stormed is that?-First, let's get the situation ..."

"I don't know if anyone knows you, the command of the army is with me. I don't know when they will change their minds and run the army! Must be returned to restore Zoltan's peace! "

Her tone is strong, but she is bearish at best.

When I was in trouble, Ritt and Missphere, who were behind Lilinrara, took over.

"Sir William, calm down, you're in control of Lilinrara, so you're here. You have to figure out what's going on and then make the best choice."

"Yes. It's unprecedented for Zoltan, but it's natural ... William, if you are upset, the whole Zoltan army will be upset."

"Hero lit !? And mist master!"

Sir William opened his eyes and shouted at Misfia.

Then he kneels as if he was weak.

"Mister Storm, I can't do it ... please take command of the army on my behalf. I'm too heavy. Please give me……!"

"Will, don't rely on such an old woman. It's your time now."

A middle-aged man rinses an old woman. It is not very cool.

But the knights of his men who have witnessed the scene do not seem to downplay Sir William. Because they also looked at the mist master with glancing eyes.

I know this sight well.

It is a scene when soldiers desperate in front of the Demon King Army seek rooty for salvation. A hero is hope.

Rooty stared at the sight, slightly frowning.

"If you get scared, all your soldiers will be scared too. Will you stand up, okay, I know you've worked hard. Now let me know what's going on and what you know. I cannot command the army, but we will do everything we can as Zoltan citizens. "

"……Yes"

Snarling, Lord William began telling Missphere and Litt what he knew.

Nevertheless, it seems that Sir William is so busy trying to evacuate Minato City citizens and recruit soldiers that he has little knowledge of the situation.

Leave them to listen to the situation, and I head for Lilinrara next to Tise.

Tise rushed to me quickly.

"Mr. Red, the state of Lilin Lara is strange."

Tise whispered to me.

Lilinrara's appearance was completely different from her former strong general, legendary pirate, and proud high elf.

Three high-elves, her subordinates, look away anxiously at Lilinrara.

"And ... again, it's my fault ..."

It is regret and despair that appeared on Lilinrara's face.

"... Is it safe?"

Lirin Lara covers her face with both hands without any reaction to my voice.

"I just wanted to help him ..."

The distressing spill that spilled out between the fingers covering his face was just a small thing, but I could hear my enhanced perceptual skills well ... Who is that person?

I can't help doing this.

"Sir William seems reluctant to hand over Lilinrara, too. When we're done, will we go see Prince Salius anyway?"

I tell Lilin Lara and his subordinate High Elves.

The high elves nodded reassuringly and supported Lilinrara from both sides.
