Sword of Glutton Princess

Lesson 65: The State of the Village

The day after I defeated the General Ghost (Goblin Road), I was preparing breakfast at Robi's house.

You should refrain from inadvertent outings.

I'm not leaving Robbie's house until Edda's fully recovered.

Nevertheless, as of yesterday, it appeared to be recovering considerably.

So much so that he even said that he would follow the crusade of the General Ghost (Goblin Road).

If you rest for the next three days, you'll be able to leave the village.

I tried to give Edda "self-regeneration" as I did when I gave him "Ayalla" to Mani, but that was turned down.

Edda said she doesn't have time right now, so she wants to focus more on Odd's recovery than on his injuries.

Self-regeneration heals injuries, but Odd's exhaustion is severe.

"But... I really wonder if we can go to Palmgart like this"

"You're very weak, Dean."

Belzevute reacts to my zero words: Belzevute, the Devil's Eater Sword.

"I don't want to sound all weak, but I don't think I can keep it like this. I mean, you're clearly no match... I didn't expect a military man from the city of Romaburg to come this far. Maybe I have to reschedule something."

It's like a nightmare to have two troops led by a magic captain.

I didn't think you'd come and smash us all that hard.

I didn't envisage this.

Certainly Celia's survival is what brings about the ruin of Sergeant Marti Magic.

But putting so much effort into our opponents is like hustling around saying, "There's a dark hiding place behind you."

Apparently Marty gave priority to those who would definitely kill Celia and turn down her worries over the suspicions surrounding her.

"... I've learned very well that it's dangerous to be concerned about the trends I've read to my opponents. I forgot that information manipulation is what they do best in the first place."

Originally, even in the uproar of the Grey Church, we all believed and did not doubt that the adventurers' cooperation in saving the city would be a hand in discrediting the authority of the Marti Magic Sasha clan.

But it didn't actually happen.

It was a perilously devastating crisis by Childick, who was at the mercy of the army, and even if he managed to survive it, in the end, he was still only on the palm of the army.

When I was a haulier, they were too big to see the whole story.

However, since I had gained so much credit as an adventurer, I had been able to give a clearer sense of the magnitude of the power of an organization called the military.

Now that I saw the light of Celia, which I could resist, I didn't know how to move before the real military threat.

"You look like a creep in the morning, Dean."

"But it's only a miracle that he got away from Canvia by repelling Zildo. Zildo was watching us sweetly and dispersed his power. On top of that, Mr. Garlock gave me a crush... so I managed to escape. Both Jildo and Kanvya are alive. How many times do I have to make contact with the magic captain before I reach Palmgart..."

Two magic captains and ten general soldiers.

We need to fight each other at the same time.

This difference in power is just too reckless, although it is a situation in which we have to proceed without regard for danger.

It was originally Marty's power to kill us for sure.

If you move forward helplessly, you will be killed in due course. That seemed like suicide.

I naturally consulted Mani as well, but he did not get a realistic answer.

'You should think about it after you eat it. The smell of spiciness moves into cooking. "

"It's easy for you to say..."

I sighed.

"I'm not taking the army lightly, my concubine weighs in on cooking!

Belzevute said that out of pride for some reason.

... I'm not going to use Petite Demordi because I have Robbie's eyes, so you know Belzevute can't eat...

At that time, Celia, who was going to see how Edda was doing, came into the dining room.

"Mr. Dean, Mr. Edda, was still asleep. I don't think I should wake you..."

"Right. Okay, we'll put some time aside again and see how it goes."

I nodded to Celia.

Me, Mani, Celia and Robi surrounded the table.

At that time, Robi told me about the warcraft disturbance in the village.

I knew it was going to be tough, but he said it was more serious than we thought.

"From The Swordsman's Graveyard in the Demon Labyrinth, one Warcraft after the other... Blocking the entrance will only outrun the scene. Of course, many have fled to cities and other villages… but they say that they are all in trouble for their jobs and places of residence. All that's left of this village is the village and the one who's going to love it."

Robi was lonely.

When I heard that, I was convinced that Robbie was trying to keep us alive and that Govin was behaving like that.

The people of this village are more prepared to fight and die in the village they grew up in than to flee to other lands to suffer hunger or beg for themselves.

Sad story is, there is no more reason for them to fear the army than they need to, and the army is an enemy that has abandoned itself.

Village will unity is easy to try in that respect.

I can also believe Govin's words.

"I wish we could have done something..."

I stiffened my fist.

The General Ghost (Goblin Road), the immediate crisis in the village, was defeated.

But as long as the Swordsman's Graveyard is overflowing with Warcraft, sooner or later this village is doomed to be destroyed by the Warcraft disaster.

This is a deep-rooted problem.

We can't afford to dive into the labyrinth more than we used to because we're being chased.

But it's not an issue that a few people could do something about.

First of all, the Swordsman's Graveyard is saturated with warcraft because there have been no people in it for many years.

If this happens, it's a situation where the average adventurer can't get a scratch at that point.

There's nothing we can do unless the army enters the Demonic Labyrinth in a group and performs a full-scale hole crushing.

Even though it's just saturated with warcraft, it's untouchable, plus there's no reliable map.

Such demonic labyrinths naturally jump a few steps in danger.

Because we don't know what demons are sleeping inside in the first place, the most critical level of danger is unknown.

And the fact that people are not in and out means that they are not in the terrain in which humans advance.

The ground is trampled by many adventurers, and the shattered demonic labyrinth is a passage for men.

Without it, the Demon Labyrinth becomes the home ground for the Warcraft, difficult to fight for the Adventurer, in addition to being drained of health by simple travel.

"Mr. Robi, I think that if Marti Magic Master were gone, I'm sure the next Magic Master would not abandon this village or abandon it. Because the new magician wants to show his predecessor's crude and own merit in order to gain support."

That's what Mani said to Robi.

It must have been a comforting word, but Mani's statement seemed convincing.
