On the ship of the Virgin Morna, the Lions were on their way to the king's capital.

Yesterday's big ship seems to be under repair, more than a turn smaller than that.

Naturally, there are few escorts, but they will decide that it is not a problem because they have already crusaded Sahaggin Road.

(d) If we run long enough, we can now clearly see the island, which was just plainly visible in the distance.

It's just a pretty big island with a whole King's Capital of the Holy King.

The majority of the surroundings were cliffs and also served as natural fortresses.

"Shima!"

"Come on!"

Standing on the bow, the twins are excited about the "island" they see for the first time in their lives.

Eventually, the ship enters a port built between the wall and the wall.

"Weird...... There's no one in the harbor."

Saint Mauna squeaked with a surprised eyebrow root.

Even though the mass outbreak of Sahagin had prevented the port from coming and going, it was just odd not to find one person son.

"... After all, something seems to be happening in the King's Capital"

"Again? What do you mean, the Virgin's sister?

"No, I thought it was weird. Naturally, we should also be aware of the massive outbreak of Sahagin in the lake on the Wang Du side. Then the Knights, who reside in the King's capital, will be sweeping soon."

Nevertheless, the Virgin Morna, who had just returned from her pilgrimage journey, had to form a crusade herself.

"Are you saying there's something going on and the Knights couldn't move?

"... that's likely. Everybody head to the King's Capital now, but be very vigilant."

Morna called it that, then looked at Lion and said.

I'm counting on you.

Heh, and Lion glanced at him.

Maybe he assumed this situation and deliberately put Lion on board the ship.

Wangdu is in the heart of the island and is the main road from the harbour.

As I went up the maintained slopes and stairs, I eventually saw what they did.

It's a beautiful, circular city with a beautiful view of the scenic lake.

Instead of a martial wall, it is protected by a triple junction.

"The junction is... disappearing?

But now, one of those junctions had completely disappeared.

It is an important junction that surrounded the city's outermost parts.

Hurry to the city.

It was a deserted city there.

A large street extending straight into the heart of the city.

It would usually be busy with a lot of people. There, I don't see one person.

The city doesn't look so rough.

The more you peek at the scattering of things everywhere, the more beautiful it is, the more you have the illusion that suddenly, people have disappeared.

"So what's this? Are you sure the residents have disappeared?

"No, it's not. Probably evacuated."

To Mertella's words, Morna shakes her head.

"Evacuation?"

"Oh. He must have fled to the inside of the second junction in the back before the third junction on the outside was destroyed"

According to Moona, each of the three donut-shaped compartments created by the triple junction has become a temple, residential and commercial district from the inside.

The majority of the residents of Wangdu live in residential areas and come to the commercial district to work during the day.

And when things happen, they usually train them to evacuate to their residential areas.

"Yes..."

Listening to her, Lion shrugs.

It's called a triple bond, it's called preparing for such a crisis from time to time, and perhaps this city assumed some kind of hostile presence from time to time.

"Does that mean the residents are safe?

"I hope so. But when the Third Connection is already broken, things seem pretty serious."

At the end of Moona's gaze, she saw the second junction and what she thought.

From a normal human perspective, it seems colorless and transparent and nothing there, but if it is the eyes of Lion or Mertella, it can confirm the junction.

"Well, that's quite splendid. But......"

"You're about to disappear."

The junction seemed to be reaching endurance limits.

Probably had quite an attack already.

Eventually we get to the second junction.

It seems that in front of it is a square surrounding the entire settlement, which seemed to split the two compartments beautifully with the junction.

It was damaged all over the square and I could hear that there had been intense fighting here.

"Oh, is that... Master Morna!?

"It's Master Morna!

"You're back!

Beyond the junction.

So those who were on the alert noticed this one and began to raise their voices.

They are the Knights who guard the King's capital.

I'll be rushing right over.

"Master Morna! You're safe!

"As you can see. So what the hell happened?

"Yes! Actually, a bunch of demons..."

Here's what the knight said:

A few days ago, Wang Du was raided by a large group of demons who suddenly appeared.

The Knights engage the devil.

In the meantime, the inhabitants evacuated to the inner settlement of the second junction.

The enemy is mighty, and the Knights' struggle is vain, destroying the primary junction.

The front retreated to the second junction.

Meanwhile, anything that sends a ship out for rescue to surrounding cities will also be sunk by a massive outbreak of sahagin in the lake.

While doing so, the devil launches an attack to destroy the second junction.

In the absence of backup, the Knights have managed to outperform so far by citing their total strength to resist, but the boundaries are no longer limited and will probably not withstand the next attack.

"... sounds more critical than expected"

After listening, Morna looked up.
