Episode 99

I had no time to go back to Lünheit and headed off to Lunehite with Iria, who led fifty-six werewolves.

This time, no humans, including the maid and secretary of Ayria, will be accompanied.

I can't keep it when something happens.

As a commander, I have the authority to sort out lives. For example, a decision could be made to "protect the most important person, Ilia, and abandon all others."

It is an authority as well as a commander's duty.

However, few people will be happy to say, "You are not so important, you should die instead of a great man."

It looks like a black company manager and has a bad aftertaste.

But from a standpoint, I have to say if necessary.

I don't like that, so we decided to have all the people answer.

I intend to continue this policy in the future.

Actually, I wanted to let Lashii accompany me as a force, but I gave it up.

She is a traitor to the Senate. You shouldn't go to cities near the north.

If you look and hear a lot, there will be a lot of variations in her genjutsu, so I really want to take it here and there ...

Zaria, located in the middle of the wilderness, was a strange city from a first impression.

In this world, every big city has a city wall. But Zaria has no walls. It is not allowed by the Senate.

Each building in the city is a big three or four story building. The second floor is made of solid stone, and from there it is a mud-brick earthen structure.

It's like an earthy building, a strange sight in this world.

With the werewolf waiting in the wilderness nearby, I, Ilia, and eight escorts head for Zaria.

Aylea explains as she approaches the city.

"The lower floors are warehouses, but they are made tough against the invasion and destruction of enemies. The upper floors are renovated and expanded in living quarters, so they are sun-dried bricks."

"I see. The lower floor is a stone wall."

The stone part seems to be made quite sturdy to support the upper floors, which would not be destroyed by a werewolf.

When you enter the city, its strangeness is outstanding.

It is dim and narrow alley even in the daytime. Winding and unable to go straight. There is nothing that could be a landmark, even though it has a complicated branch.

"It's really a maze ..."

The building is dense and the doors are nowhere to be found. There are windows in some places, but only a small lattice window for daylight at the top.

The narrow alleys make it impossible for armed soldiers to enter in a row. Cavalry will not run at full power.

But I feel the sign of humans. Smell, voice, and footsteps come from everywhere.

Ilia smiles bitterly.

"This is Zary's proud labyrinth. Thieves and beasts can't harm this city."

"Yes."

A thief or a beast would not be possible. You can only wander around the city.

However, if the entire building is destroyed with a catapult, it is likely to fall.

That is the purpose of the Senate. If Zalia is against her, she can always be crushed.

It's going to be hard for Zarya's patron as well.

We are guided by a senior official who has been greeted and climb the stairs next to the alley.

"Everyone here"

What he guided was a private house.

When you enter, there is actually a kitchen with a furnace. Several pots were hanging from the wall.

When the aides enter the kitchen, they regularly beat some of the pots with a pestle. After repeating "Jean, Boko, Kang" three times, the stone material on the ceiling moved.

And a voice can be heard from above.

"Who?"

A senior official confirms us and returns.

"A blue lily flower and a black half moon. Ninohachi"

After a while, the ladder came down from above.

"Ilia, please, Deputy Deputy Lord, please."

I'll make Hammam take the lead just in case and laugh at Ilia.

"It looks like the conversation you were talking about was something special. Then, are you a blue lily?"

"Then Waid is a black half moon."

We climb up the ladder with caution, whilst we smile.

The place we climbed into was a small room with many doors.

A senior official shouts.

"I'm trapping the fake door. Don't touch it."

"all right"

It's like a secret organization.

Then we were finally guided to a place like the house of Taisho.

The pattern is painted with colorful dye on a white wall like stucco. It's like West Asia of the past.

But this building doesn't smell much. It's like a place you don't usually use. A place dedicated to visits?

I mutter unintentionally while sitting on the sofa.

"Tamori Merguio looks like a cautious person."

When I muttered, the senior official bowed gracefully.

"Mergio changes the office regularly, and it's Zaria's rule that his whereabouts must not be widely known."

"So that's it"

If you're so cautious, wouldn't your usual work be inconvenient?

The senior official left, but came back immediately and told me:

"Before negotiations with Lünheight, we want to negotiate individually with the Demon Army.

that's strange.

"If you want to negotiate individually in advance, isn't it rather with Eyria?"

`` No, I want to see Mr. Weid, who is famous as a great commander of the Demon King Army ''

"I'm sorry to refuse. The Demon Army and Lünheit are a community of will.

The way to talk is unnatural.

And when I'm separated from Ilia, I'm worried when something happens.

Ilia was off to a high-ranking officer and Ilia sent out a helping ship.

"If it's an informal meeting, I'll be there too."

"No, it is ..."

Ilia wins the pioneer where a senior official refuses.

"Or is it a problem for me? Is there anything wrong with 'The Devil Lord', Eilea Rütte Eindorf?"

"Not at all"

The high-ranking official shook his head in a hurry, with the feeling of Iria.

"Now, Ilia and Weid. Before informal negotiations, please have an informal interview with Tamori."

Ilia and Ilia look up and stand up.

"Escorts and maids are waiting here." Relieve the fatigue of traveling "" Relax "

Then Hammam bows gracefully.

"I understand, 'Great Deputy Lieutenant'"

It is not only Zari people who use signatures. We also use it.

Now I have commanded the werewolf to assume that they were in the enemy territory and remain on the battlefield.

Hammam's reply is that repetition.

It's really smelly.

I and Ilia walk down the long corridor and are guided to the door at the end.

"Mergio is waiting in this room."

I stopped him when a senior official tried to go down.

"Aide, wait a moment"

"What happened?"

Grabbing his shoulders turned around, I asked.

"From behind the door, I smell blood and anti-emesis. What is the state of Merguio right now?"

At that moment, the official tried to escape without giving any answer.

What to escape? I transform into a werewolf while holding his shoulder.

"I told you to wait."

The werewolf claws grab a senior official's shoulder. Although it is moderate, it will be quite painful because the nails bite.

Senior officials agonize but shout loudly.

"I'm gonna go!

From the back of the corridor, we heard a rattling and heavy footsteps. The sound of armed soldiers rushing from here and there.

I see, this kind of thing.

"I understand the situation. Sleep for a while."

I beat the high official's chin and stunned him. I saw some teeth fluttering, but no matter what I thought, I'm a bad guy and give up.

You can fight in the corridor as it is, but it is a bit narrow for the werewolf to rampage, and the door behind it is also anxious.

"Ilia, don't leave me"

"Yes, Mr. Weid"

Ilia nodded with a nervous expression and pulled her saber from her waist. Prepare for piercing in preparation for a closed battle.

When I told the werewolf howling by howling, I kicked the door and jumped into the room.
