Five days have passed since the attack on Halenae by the ancient hero Arles.

During this time, Adov bundled together those who could fight around Halenae to rescue the people, and gathered those who rescued them in houses in the northernmost part of the country to hide.

Fortunately, Arles didn't seem to pay much attention to the activities of the Adfs.

I was satisfied that the people gathered in the cathedral worshipped themselves, and there has been no flashy movement since the first day.

"My brother Adf... is this activity really meaningful?" The monsters you defeat will be replenished in doubles. ”

In the evacuation zone, False Volcker asked Dylan about Adov.

Dylan was persuaded by Adolf that he had a debt to save his life, so he ended up in Halenae to participate in his rescue operation.

I was just questioning Adoff's policy.

"Arles said that that silly ritual would be performed seven days and seven nights in a row. That's why he's not working properly right now with those monsters, right? After that, I'll push you all the way to this area....."

"Dylan, you're demoralizing yourself because you want to escape...!"

One of the soldiers on the spot pointed his sword at Dylan.

"No, no, that's true, but... that's not all!" Even at the edge of Halenae, if people gather, Arles will be among them! If that happened, it would be annihilated! "

Dylan didn't shut up and continued.

A soldier with a sword approached Dylan in a murderous state.

"Hey, hey, Adf's brother!" Not everyone has the same nobility as you! That's right... Some of your Halenae soldiers want to escape! They're the same ones we helped! I can't say anything, but I'm sure you do! Why don't you just take us and run away! "

"This guy...!"

"That's why you jumped up and denied me!" Never mind, I'm not saying it just because I'm cute in this period! You just have to see the gap and run during the operation! But we're all going to die in vain! We should pull it up around here! I'm telling you that I owe my brother a debt! Are you saying something wrong! "

"Just breathe...! I can't stand the guilt of running away alone, so you're just keeping us company!" We are warriors who have pledged allegiance to Halenae! You're a trickster! If you want to escape, don't make excuses and go alone! "

"Phew, what are you talking about!?" Small Country Dog Gathering! I'm not going to let you fall behind, anyway, my brother Adolf! Let's give it a try! Oh! "

Dylan also grabbed the handle of the sword to threaten them.

"Stop it, you guys. Dylan's right... if you're mistaken, you're all dead."

Adov beat the soldiers.

"But you mean abandoning the people and fleeing!"

“Ideals alone can't save people. I'm not going to let you wrap up the people like a soldier."

"... that's right."

"I heard about Arles from the people who helped him, but it's impossible to defeat him." No sleeping or eating. There is no gap whatsoever in life that creatures are supposed to develop. Words are too vague, and even dialogue seems to be an enemy rather than a persuasive one. "

Adolf turned to the cathedral, where Arles was.

Arles now stands in the back of the cathedral, gathering people around the cathedral to worship himself.

"It's the view of the priests that they're probably not purely ancient heroes, but rather puppets with their souls tied up by someone." The state of the monsters is similar to that of the saints from generation to generation..... "

The priestess of Halenae had knowledge of the saintly lady [Spirit Servant].

Those who are trapped by the skills of [Spirit Servant] will no longer need to do what is necessary to survive, such as eating and sleeping, and will not be able to rebel against the Lord in any way.

Behaviors are tied up, thoughts and spirituality that interfere with orders are cut off and distorted.

Arles was now in a state of being distorted by the original desire and aggressiveness to rule the world, in accordance with the command of the voice of God, and separated from the rest of his heart.

The priest could not understand that much, but he knew that Arles' condition was [Spirit Servant] or something similar.

"This is the limit." Many soldiers are dead, and your morale is falling day by day. Take the rescued people today and flee across the desert to another country. "

"Oh no..."

The soldiers are hung up.

The soldiers were aware of it.

It was because he was misleading himself and inspiring that he dared to deny Dylan's words.

"Tch, you're making a fool of yourself when I say it, and you're making a fool of yourself when I say it." It's important to know who's talking. That's why I owe you the name of Dragon Hunt. "

In Dylan's words, all the soldiers around him stared at him.

"J-it's true!" Blame your weak heart rather than blame me! This time, I won't apologize! "

“You may be right, Adoff-sama. However, my family must still be in Halenae..."

That's what one of the soldiers said.

"... these adults will walk across the monstrous desert." We can't just disperse our forces. If you swore allegiance to Halenae, you must understand. "

"But if you abandon me here, my family will surely die." It's like... it's like I'm going to kill you. Even if I'm the only one, please leave me here... "

The soldier still lowers his head.

"It's reckless. Don't let the soldiers get you around the people."

In the gloomy air, Adoff looked back at the cathedral.

"However, your command was accepted, but I betrayed my country and went into exile." I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do anything more for Halenae. "

"Master Adf...? What do you mean..."

“I go to the cathedral alone and challenge Arles.”

Lady Adoff!?

The soldiers looked at Adov with surprise.

"This is my pleasure." If the death of the hero Ircia is the reason that the hero Arles came to Halenae, then I am responsible. And before I finished as a swordsman, I wanted to have one last flashy battle. If the opponent is an ancient hero, there is no shortage. "

"Master Adf... no way...!"

Other soldiers knew it was just a play of words.

Adov couldn't just let the rest of the people die.

We cannot allow our people to be entangled in the will of our soldiers.

But I can't run away abandoning my captured people.

And if you go to battle, other soldiers will follow you, dispersing your forces to send your loved ones to other countries.

Adolf's answer was to challenge Arles as a swordsman, not as a soldier of Halenae.

"Fulfill the mission of your soldiers, and flee with your people."

Dear Adfu......

For soldiers who don't want to just kill what's left of them, Adov decides to stay.

There was no way he could keep his mouth shut.

"Wait, Adoff's brother. If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with me staying, right?"

Dylan stepped out in front of Adolf.

"You...! You wanted to get out of here the most."

Adoff looks at Dylan with a surprised look on his face.

"I'm going to stop paying attention to this small country." I owe you a debt because you're my brother. "

Seeing true justice in Adolf's bullish form, Dylan chose to live with him.
