◆ Prime Minister ◆

That happened when I was dressed after breakfast.

"Oh my God, Master Hall!

"What's the matter? Noisy."

It was James in the family order who came in a hurry.

I don't know what happened, but even if you work in my mansion, which is the Chancellor, are you a little more restless?

No matter how hasty you are, it will always be your role to act calmly on the servants.

"Oh, that's the hard part! It means an unidentified group has broken into the Wang capital!

"What was the defense doing?"

The outer perimeter of the Wang capital is protected by a barrier to stop demons and enemies from entering. Closer enemies are supposed to be repelled by stationed defensemen.

"Anything. The opponent approached the king's capital at a tremendous rate, and when he approached the barrier without taking the defensive team's attack as anything, he jumped over the wall with an incredible leap and broke into the king's capital."

"He said he jumped over the fence. ⁉

Stupid ⁉ The king's capital walls are over 5 meters tall. ⁉

That's not what you can do with a lot of strength, like jumping over a defensive team interception.

No, more than that. We need measures if we've already been broken into the king's capital.

"So how big is the enemy?"

Is it your intention to force the invasion of the King's capital, or are you trying to take the people of the King's capital hostage?

"Well, I don't know the details, but about 100 people."

"ha⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉

What the hell is that?

The Knights defending the King's capital can move a thousand people instantly, even in an emergency.

"What are you going to do in such a half-way number?"

Um, I don't know why.

Approaching the barrier without a defensive team attack, only about 100 people jumped over and broke into the king's capital. ⁉

Then why don't we just disguise ourselves as merchants and break in without bothering to approach us from the outside?

Why bother taking dangerous methods?

"... no way ⁉ ⁉ ⁉"

It's a conspicuous intrusion on purpose, that's likely.

But it's too dangerous nonetheless.

Who the hell is paying for this?

Is that your neighbor Rheingal kingdom now?

There are constant skirmishes along the border.

But if the Knights of Rheingal attacked us, there's no way the Knights of the Border Fort or the neighboring lords could have left us alone, and there's no way they could have sent about 100 soldiers in the first place.

And if they had so much power, they'd be using it more effectively.

"No way... West lime male. ⁉⁉R"

The Demonic Rime Male, that country with excellent magic research, should be able to mobilize a magical knight who can carry out this assault.

Only a limited number of people will be able to handle swords and magic at the same time at the level that will dominate the Knights.

If you think about it, do you also know why the number of raiders is so low this time?

But I don't know why.

Because our nation's capital and lime males sandwich Dragon Peak, we must bypass Dragon Peak in order to wage war.

Otherwise, the dragons that live in Dragon Peak are not at war.

Now that the Dragon Knight has perished, we cannot use the Dragon as a force of war, but this is how we can use the Dragon as a natural fortress.

At the same time, in order to take advantage of the geographical advantages of Longfeng in our country, only minimal laying of the streets leading to Lime Male has been carried out.

It doesn't make sense to build big streets poorly and use them over there.

And similarly, there is no point in the Lime Male side bothering to develop our national territory until it marches on.

For Lime Male and our country, Longfeng is a convenient reason not to go to war with each other.

I mean, as things stand, there's no reason for a lime male to attack our country.

If so, do you mean that the group that is now attacking the King's Capital has nothing to do with lime males?

I don't think so, but you're not a dragon emperor?

And the very information that the Dragon Emperor appeared in the town of Tatsutron was a trap to disperse our power. ⁉

... No, no, no, there can't be such power in those who are a bunch of junior aristocrats.

You took too much of a leap in ideas while I was in the boulder.

But then, who the hell is the intruder?

"Ooh, the hall. What are we supposed to do?

James comes to me frightened to block my thoughts.

Damn it, if it's a family order, let them act without telling you!

"All guards turn to the mansion escort! Then you order the castle to send out the Kingsguard Knights!

"Do you want the Kingsguard Knights?" But it's their mission to protect the castle.

irritating but swallowing James, who is ill-conceived.

Yelling in this situation is a waste of time.

"The role of the Kingsguard Knights is to protect the royal family. But there's more to defending an empty castle than not having a royal family in this country."

Yes, there is no royalty in this country.

I am the prime minister, the supreme power, more than all the operations of the country are carried out by our nobles.

Then it would be better to send out the Kingsguard Knights in the name of protecting the King's capital.

"Oh and make sure you can bring out anything of value right away!

"Ha, ha!

James rushes out of the dining room, but if the aim of the group attacking the Wang capital is our anti-dragon imperial, it's dangerous to go out poorly.

But is it dangerous to stay still in the mansion?

"You're lucky it was before you climbed the castle..."

◆ Kingsguard Knights ◆

"Captain, they're not stopping at all!

"Don't tell me, but I get it!

I will bother to report what my deputy will know when he sees it.

But that's what I see next door!

Only a dozen minutes ago, reports came in that a suspicious group had suddenly broken into the Wang capital.

Outraged by the ineffectiveness of the defensive forces that were supposed to have guarded the fence, the Prime Minister has now issued an order to deploy to our Kingsguard Knights.

I was surprised to hear that it was our duty to protect the castle, but more importantly, the knight's mission was to protect people.

We set out immediately...

"Attack magic is on, but there's no sign of stopping. ⁉"

Since the battlefield is a downtown area, the evacuation of citizens must be a priority.

So even though we minimize the use of bows and magic, what do you mean, you've taken many direct hits and you don't fall? ⁉

"And why aren't you fighting back ⁉⁉R"

Yes, the most important thing that bothered me was that the thieves didn't attack us at all.

We don't even fight back against this attack.

Its unresponsiveness to thoroughness was like a doll moving as ordered, even creepy.

My men are showing frightened colors to the thieves who are now attacked without hesitation.

"Captain, the evacuation of the surrounding residents is complete!

"Okay, well done! The avant-garde forces do their utmost to stop the enemy! The Wizard Squad is ready for simultaneous attacks by Grand Magic! Immediately afterwards the auxiliary units reinforce their magic to the assault units! Assault squads with the order. Assault squads!

"" "" "Roger that!

"Show the dragon gear you've given me, Chancellor, a shameless battle!

While Frontline Squads are desperately enduring enemy advances with their big shields, the Wizards infuse all their magic into building the Great Magic Ceremony.

And when the magic is ready to activate, I order the avant-garde units to disperse immediately.

"All spread out!

The avant-garde forces leave simultaneously.

The thief rushes out again because there is nothing to block him, but he is far from the Wizard Squad.

"Shoot me!

"Burning Flame"

The great magic unleashed by the Wizard Squad is activated and a super hot flame mass is emitted toward the center of the enemy group.

Almost all the magic of the troops was swept away, and the flaming mass was the size of a house.

No matter how powerful the wizard may be, it is absolutely impossible to activate so much magic alone.

When the large flame mass landed in the center of the enemy, it burst like a splash around it.

"Wow ⁉ *"

"Ya, bear with me!

No matter how far you're going, if all this magic of power bursts, I'm just sorry about this one.

The surrounding buildings burn out under magical aftermath.

"Holly Wall!"

"Guard up!

Monks and those skilled in defensive magic cast defensive magic on the shields erected by the soldiers, protecting us from the magical aftermath.

"Auxiliary units, hurry up and prepare for reinforced magic!

I don't think they can live by eating all this magic, but they're monsters who took so many shots of this magic they didn't mean to.

I can't deny the possibility that I will be able to withstand some trump cards.

"Enchanted Weapon!"

"Protection!"

Auxiliary magic users apply enhanced magic to the Assault Squad.

Our Kingsguard gear is the finest made of dragon material.

We can even call ourselves little dragons, so to speak, wrapped around this forged body with dragon gear.

Hundreds of those people.

No matter how strong the opponent is, it's impossible to beat this gear and number.

The enemy may also be using Dragon materials to equip themselves, but the materials collected and sold by Scale Pickup Adventurers have been bought up by the state to the satisfaction of gold.

There may be some buying leaks, but the numbers are overwhelmingly different.

In addition, the equipment is of the highest quality made by the military forge workers with a profitability view.

Besides, I'm doing enhanced magic on that, so I don't have the elements to lose.

"Damn, I've never been able to show my strength because the castle guard was my mission, but now I can finally prove that we deserve to be called Dragon Knights in the true sense of the word."

Yes, we, the Kingsguard knights, were allowed to name the Dragon Knight by the Chancellor, but the people who were jealous of us made it difficult to name the Dragon Knight even though they couldn't follow the dragon.

I was confident that if I actually fought, I would surely defeat the Dragon.

However, because we were told that it was our mission to protect the King's capital and we did not obtain permission from the Prime Minister, we were unable to demonstrate our strength.

Therefore, this situation was a chance to show us the strength of the Kingsguard Knights.

Yeah, maybe I can thank the guys in the defense who missed the thief lightly in that sense.

With that in mind, the aftermath of the big flame mass is finally weakening.

At the same time, I can see the black shadow shaking from the back of the flame.

Still alive!

"All men assault!

"" "" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." ""

The men who received the decree storm simultaneously.

Then his men's protruding weapons were knocked into the thieves as they shed a reliable magical light.

And then he made a slight noise called peckin and his men's weapons broke.

"" "" "" "Heh?

Huh? Broken?

"" "" "" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, eh, eh, ⁉" "" "

Then it's a stupid piece of equipment made of dragon material.

It's enhanced by fortified magic.

Why does that break?

……

The thief did not say anything, did not even fight back, and passed beside us in a daze, as if nothing had happened.

And all that was left was our Kingsguard Knights.

"Yes, Captain... what do we do?"

"... what shall we do?

No, really. What do I do?

……

"... Captain, some of the remaining thieves are working on extinguishing the house that was magically set on fire"

"Huh? Why?

"Come on?"

……

When the remaining thieves finished the fire suppression, they handed out potions to the soldiers who had been burned in the aftermath of the magic and gave them a round of grace before pursuing their companions.

"... what the hell was that, alle?

I don't know what they're doing, the deputy chief is tilting his neck, but that's what I want to hear.

"What are they really doing here?

Wasn't that the invader you've been attacking to take control of this country?

We didn't know what to do anymore, and we just stood there.
