Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
248 Imperial Infiltration
Although there have been signs of demons since Forenoir vividly slaughtered the Imperial Winged Dragon Troops, there was no battle until the Imperial Capital was seen to have no means of attacking this one flying over.
To be honest, I was lucky enough to get around the fight.
"Forenoir, it's time to arrive in the Empire, so we're heading to everyone."
"Fine, but... I have a little concern."
Forenoir speaks with a gaze at the seemingly distant imperial capital.
"What's going on?
I've been trying to figure out what's going on in that city, and I can't feel any signs or magic.
"No signs, no magic, no sense? Does that mean we're tied up?
"Yeah. We're so close... maybe there's a bond in that city."
If Forenoir is now a Heavenly Horse, he's got a lot of enemy power.
And yet feeling nothing is probably a very strong juncture.
"That's a pain in the ass. I hope nothing happens... you think it's okay to stick around like this?
'Right. I'm sure the junction itself can pass fine, but I'm sure there's something there.' Cause I can't see a single guard guarding the outer wall. Maybe he's just hiding... '
"There's not a single guard on top of not being able to defeat the enemy... or indeed that's odd. No matter how early it is in the morning before dawn, there can be no watching."
Demons appear in this country from time to time. It's not normal to think that there are no guards to protect a country like that.
Could it already be after His Highness broke in and made a scene? No, they won't act that stupid either.
Besides, there's Mr. Bazak, so most of us will be able to get over it.
So, is the guard waiting for a trap by reading the monkey or this move?
"Maybe you're not in charge of the Imperial Soldier, but it could be a trap."
Apparently Forenoir was thinking the same thing.
"We have to be vigilant. Well, I'd like to hope you're attracting His Highness and his men to the Imperial Guard."
'... so you're really going back inside this? You can just keep going and go wild. "
"That's on the pass. I understand the power of Forenoir, but it's not a battle to destroy it. Besides, I hope we can slow down the ship to the Empire, but it's too uncertain, so I'm gonna take you all."
"Yes. Okay."
That's what Forenoir said, he flew me from the airship to the lift.
"Call me as soon as you need strength again."
Follenoir, who returned from Heavenly Horse to Horse under restraint, said so, returning to the stables of the Hidden.
"Really, Forenoir is a dependable partner who comes to respect my thoughts. Next time you need me to do something, I'll answer as much as I can."
Whimpering about that, he immediately started walking to the cockpit.
"I'm back now. What's the matter?
As you enter the cockpit, everyone's gaze will concentrate on you.
"There's nothing wrong with you or these things. What is that horse? I didn't expect to destroy the Winged Dragon in an instant... because I lost my chance to unleash the Magic Gun."
Doran looked a lot happier for it.
"Ahhh, you sure do. I didn't think Forenoir was that strong, either."
With those words in my mouth, it kind of made me laugh.
"Come on. Well, then we'll have no choice. So the ship can keep going, right?
"Oh. But Forenoir said there seems to be a bond in the Imperial capital that makes it impossible to read the signs and magic. It could be an ambush, so everyone who comes down will fly with us from the airship."
"... Ru, Master Luciel, are you sure you don't mind flying from such a high place?
Yes, it was Keffin who opened his mouth.
It looked as usual on the surface but seemed a little nervous.
Is this, or maybe it's similar to not being good with dogs in high places?
I guess altitude phobia is an instinctive thing.
"Even if the magic is going to deplete, I want you to rest assured that we will land safely."
"... No, I imitated too much."
That's what Keffin said and bowed his head when he was forced to make a smile with his expression stretched.
That's crazy, I laughed a lot.
"Ha. When you get to the ground, please. Maybe all of a sudden arrows and magic will fly from all directions. I'll take care of the enemy."
"Ha."
"Sure, Your Highness is worried because there's something missing."
"You are worried, indeed, because Your Highness has long softened things up"
Ketty and Lionel are saying something horrible in the face, but apparently it sounds pretty authentic.
"... well, I'm willing to go in there assuming I was caught. By the way, is it normal for the Wing Dragon Squad to fly around at this hour?
"... No, when we were here, we were mostly responsible for reconnaissance, so we rarely used it this time of year."
"... you think we're finding out about this move? I honestly think I'm finding out. Still, with all of us, this operation is going to be a success."
"Master Luciel will protect you no matter what."
Does that mean you knew in advance that we were coming? Then I feel like I have a good chance of being targeted where I went down.
And don't even raise your mouth, assassinate... if you're a vigilant opponent, it would be the same thing for people and demons alike.
Because that's how the weak fight, including me.
I had to borrow everyone's help again to cover it up, but I thought I'd do my best to make sure I was happy that I could count on it.
"Oh, please. The slave trader Estia knows promises to go after everything"
"Yes, thank you, Master Luciel"
"Drun, please pick me up."
I'll take care of it.
"Is Paula gone? Okay, Lician, I need Doran's support."
"Yes. I'm in awe"
"Nadia, Lydia, protect the ship."
"" Yes ""
"Rina and Nanya listen closely to Dran and let go of the Magic Gun. But it uses a lot of magic stones."
"Ugh, I get it." "Yes, sir."
The flying boat was moving with magic, but I couldn't even hit my eyes if I shot too much and the demon stone was empty, so I decided to hit the nail, but the two of them nodded at me immediately.
I was shooting all those idiots, but the experiment and the actual battle are different, so you'll listen to Dolan.
"Then it's time to go"
"" "" Ha (Yes) ""
"Dolan, I got this one."
"Oh, come back alive."
"Oh."
In the face of breaking into the Empire at the end of the conversation, I even came to the lift.
"Everybody hold hands, we'll fly to the middle of the capital, so ask Ketty for directions on where to go."
All right, all right.
"Then let's go. Wind Dragon, be your wings flying freely through the sky."
Again, the five of us don't float as much as we thought it would be just heavy.
Still, my body gradually floats, so we all decided to fly together.
"Travel while reducing its speed while freely falling. Believe me."
Everyone just nodded and flew with me.
I felt the weight as if someone had hugged me at that moment, but I'd become more aware of flying and gradually fall as Ketty instructed.
And the flight by automatic drop of about three minutes with a physical sense safely descended to the central square of Teito -.
"- Wind dragon, be a barrier to the wind that blocks everything."
I landed at the same time, and now I'm talking windproof walls. And at the next moment, arrows and magic fly in unison.
And all the arrows and magic were swallowed up by the vortex of the wind.
"Was it still strained? Lionel will protect me and the three of you will periodically destroy me."
"" "" Ha (Yes) ""
And when everyone moves out in unison, I hear voices coming from my back.
"Luciel, where's the golem?
……
After being called out, I finally realized the weight I was feeling.
I didn't know it was over my armor, but Paula was stuck on my back.
"What are you doing?
"Don't fire a demon cannon at the Empire and an order has been issued. But I want to reward the empire that created the cause that took my grandfather's arm, with just one arrow. Please."
Paula unusually long and bowed her head to me.
If I can turn down this favor, I'm sure I haven't come to the empire.
With that in mind, I give Paula instructions.
"I can't help but follow you. I'll preach later. The golem is still fine. But wait for me so I can call you anytime. I might have you destroy the gate that leads to the castle that you see over there."
"Okay."
He looked a little dissatisfied, but he was Paula, who snorted firmly.
The rain of the attack stopped at some point while I was doing that.
So when we lifted the wind barrier, the Lionels came back.
"You've already taken control?
"No, it looks like there weren't any demons, they were just dealing with some of them, and they realized they were attacking me, and they started throwing away their weapons"
"There was a man among the enemy soldiers who shouted" Master Lionel. "
As Lionel bewildered, Ketty has happily reported so.
"So?"
"All those who have attacked will come out now, so please give them instructions."
"I don't know, I'm going to get into a lot of trouble."
"Please"
Lionel smiled so good, she waved everything over here, and that's when she called us.
Lord Luciel, Dr. Lionel, please help me.
Turning to his voice, His Highness appeared tied to the rope.
