Time went back only a little, and the Lionels watched the light emanating from the airship pierce the mountain.
"It has tremendous power inside. It will be difficult to prevent Luciel from developing his sanctuary boundaries completely."
"I didn't develop people against them. Even if evil gods show up, it's a little restraint, isn't it?
To Lionel's words, Doran smiled happily.
"Oh. If the Imperial Winged Dragon Squad is proud, it might be possible to wipe them out with a single blow"
"Ha ha. Well, maybe if it's just power. It's just a matter of precision and consuming magic, so if you don't think about it and use it, the ship will just float in the sky."
"Lord Doran is amazing."
"I'm a technologist, so I'm not into war. Except for the race being threatened or their people being hurt. It's Lord Lionel's turn from here, isn't it?
"Oh. Let us come to our last duties as Empire Generals. Your Highness Alberto, it's time to join me and His Majesty in transferring to the fortress built by the Imperial Army down there."
But imperial officials, including Alberto, were amazingly hardened by the less power of the main guns fired from the airship.
Lionel understood that he would have imagined that that one would be shot into the empire.
But I couldn't afford the time, so I told him the same thing again when I imitated the cedar hand Luciel had previously used to get his attention to himself.
And knowing that the Emperor's transfer could only take two people at the same time, it was first that Lionel and Gladys would transfer, then Alberto and Melfina, Lizac and the slave traders, and Nadia to the Empire's fortress because of her magical usable Lydia and her escort.
Sequential shifts seem to have almost depleted the emperor's magic power, and while giving him a low-level magic potion, the Lionels looked at the fort and it seemed terrible.
I had confirmed from the sky that the firehand was rising from here and there, but even Lionel, who was going through a war, was in such a situation as to put his face up.
"There seem to be a few signs..."
"Dear Lionel, it is the Demons who are coming this way. No doubt because the spirits are making a scene."
"You don't seem to argue with each other even if you're crazy. All personnel enter battle. I'll leave you to your Majesty and Highness, Gladys."
"Ha. Father"
Then immediately a demonized soldier appeared three bodies.
It was Lydia who moved before Lionel gave the instructions.
[Spirit of the Water, feed my magic and let the wicked descend numerous blades of ice]
Calling to the Spirit in his own words, when a pointy blade made of numerous ice appeared in the air, it poured down simultaneously on the approaching demons.
As the blade of ice poured down, some demons broke through it, but at some point in its way there was a figure of Nadia, chanting that she would set up a sword.
[Feng Long, lend me the power of the Dragon God for a while]
At the end of the chant, Nadia, wrapped in green magic, had become the wind, and at the next moment he was trumpeting the Demon Clan.
"... Father, do all the servants of Lord Sage have enough power not to put demonized soldiers in their teeth?
Gladys was stunned by the fact that two girls younger than himself instantly killed demonized soldiers.
"... right. Everyone, not the Holy Shroud Accord or the Healer's Guild, but the followers of Luciel, who are training to grow their strength and protect people correctly."
Lionel nodded so, exploring the signs of a new demon clan not showing up due to his lack of appearance, and gave instructions to slap the bronze of retreat as he searched for survivors.
The withdrawal of the Empire somehow seemed to gain some confidence from the Royal Army of Ruburg, but it was also thanks to Sir Wisdom, who walked side-by-side under the diagonal of Ferenoir.
Had it not been for Sir Wisdom and his face-to-face knowledge, he would still have been seen with suspicion.
And coming to the fort where the Royal Loubourg Army is based, me and Forenoir decided not to enter the fort but to wait outside the fort for the upper echelons leading the Royal Loubourg Army.
I don't think you'll ever be attacked, but I've spoken from the side against a war that's been going on for years, so I can't deny the possibility that some people will hold a grudge.
Sir Wisdom's story says that a number of generals who were part of the Royal Louburg Army have left the world, and Lord Wisdom doesn't know if this war will be a truce.
Lord Wisdom himself heard of the loss of his father on the battlefield, so I'm pretty sure he still has considerable resentment.
But when he came to the fort, Sir Wisdom said he would entrust everything to the judgment above.
So I decided to just talk a little bit into it.
"Is that because you're noble and military?
"... of course there is that too. But I've also killed a lot of people. They have slaughtered Imperial soldiers with the power planted in the Empire."
Sir Wisdom said he ran around the battlefield with that body he met in Nerdar.
They had saved the Royal Army many times with the power of demons, not people.
"You killed people in the war, so you decided to fight for your country over your personal feelings?
"... I'm sure the negative spirals that were killed and produced by both countries will not go away for long. So we wait for the king to make his decision, who is not a soldier."
I just hope the king is a wise king.
"I'd rather have a world like that come where people compete than fight each other if I could."
"Sure, there's going to be a lot of competing things like studying, magic, martial arts, etc, so I hope that's the world to come"
Sir Wisdom is easy to talk to because he understands fast.
I'm sure he's also inherently pacifist......
"I'm sure they'll come. Sir Wisdom is the Kingdom of Ruburg, if I may change from Yenis one by one."
"... Master Luciel is still a stranger. With all that power and all that power around you, what you're thinking is not domination, but freedom and equality, and that's what you seem to want to live for."
"It's not that big a deal. I just want to live in peace."
"Is it peaceful...... once the war is really over, would you be in the Kingdom of Louburg?
"Are you going to the Kingdom of Ruburg?
"Yes, my country is a country where fishing and forestry flourish, and where Nerdar, the magical independent city, was born."
"Fishing, is there an ocean?
"Yes, unfortunately it will be raw, so you can't taste it in other countries, but the seafood is delicious."
If you have seafood, I'd love to go there confidentially.
"That's very interesting. Oh, yeah. Speaking of forestry, it's also the Kingdom of Ruburg where the current elves are, isn't it?
"Yes. Well, they say you live not only in my country, but in a big forest..."
I feel a little wary, but there won't be a problem.
"Is that still true? I run (supposedly) the Luciel Chamber of Commerce, and I hire them as employees, so I wanted to give them a chance to come home."
"Were they also coexisting with the elves?
"Yeah. Isn't that true of the Kingdom of Ruburg, too?
"No, I can't say it out loud, but you have a strong impression that you're dealing with someone. Elves don't seem very interested in people, and they only try to get along with each other at a minimum."
"Really? Speaking of which, do all the soldiers around you even look like just a bunch of people?
"The Royal Army does not put non-human subnationals on the battlefield. That's the price, but we're increasing our national power through technical cooperation and technology delivery."
Minimum dating is a technical offering…….
Maybe that's what's causing the alienation from other races around there.
In any case, it's a country that doesn't seem to have much of a problem.
As much as I would like to go once...
But I've been talking to Sir Wisdom for a long time, and it seems that no one here is in command stronger than he is.
I can see he's trusted even as I look around, but strength is probably at the top not only of the throne, but also of the king's army.
"And I thought again, Sir Wisdom was born a lot,"
Sir Wisdom opened his mouth with a slightly unsweetened look on my words.
"I owe it all to Master Luciel that I was born. It's because you cured me in Nerdar."
"Uh, they were talking about merit earlier, weren't they?
"I've accomplished something that wouldn't be strange if it were normal. But I was distracted, and I was never put on a prosthetic eye."
"That was... tough, I suppose, but now you've been made an executive... haven't you?
It's not like you can tell his suffering, and if the treatment of Sir Wisdom in Nerdar made his life better, I think it would have been good.
But maybe the tears of that time included that kind of meaning.
"Yes. It is all thanks to Master Luciel that his current status and marriage to his wife have been fulfilled. So don't worry. Not because I am bound by a pledge, but I swear I will not be hostile to Master Luciel of my own volition, creating a disadvantage"
I'm really happy with that, but it's the Royal Army, so I feel like I could ask you for some more accommodation.
But you're my wife... it's not weird that you're married at your age, but did you come out all at once and even get married during the last six months?
That won't happen if you don't move quite vigorously...... the kingdom.
If you are a civilian, how can you do this in your personal discretion, not knowing that you are an aristocrat in a marriage...
"I was already engaged. I just don't know if he's a person. That treatment was essential to getting him to marry me. And being able to return completely to people allowed me to marry and gave me the rank."
... Apparently something I've been thinking about has been on my face lately.
"If that treatment opened up Sir Wisdom's future, I'm glad it helped."
"That's really unusual...... oh, please go inside the fort"
"No, let me wait here. 'Cause my people are watching up there, and it's possible the Demons are moving."
"Okay. Then we'll manage to pull the upper level this way."
"Please"
We had such an exchange until earlier.
"Yet Sir Wisdom hasn't heard a word about the airship. I didn't even ask why I came from the Empire..."
"It's like surveillance or being scouted."
Was Forenoir sensing something?
"Didn't Forenoir feel anything?
'No, I haven't been out all this time, and if it's malicious, I still can't even notice it being seen in places where there's a lot of people. I'm sure you'll find out if you stay out all the time.'
Is that an order to keep it out all the time? I'd think about it if you at least peopled it, but I guess I can't, considering I haven't peopled it before.
"... shall we still have Keffins and the others come as escorts from the airship?
'You don't have to worry about that. Luciel would have the strongest partner, wouldn't he?
Very manly, but since Forenoir is called your sister by the Spirit of Darkness, does it feel like a sister?
"I really depend on you, sister."
'I'll take care of it. Just in case, you should be ready to intimidate us from the sky.'
Copy that.
When I followed Forenoir's advice and immediately contacted the Dorans on the Magic Ball and was ready to attack the fort at any time, the upper ranks of the Royal Louburg Army finally showed up.
