Sword of the Philosopher

Since then, we have been able to pass through the valley without encountering any enemies. Beyond that is the plain... There is no enemy shadow at all, and to be honest, it is extremely creepy, so I will be dressed to fly more demons than necessary to explore the territory of Bizell.

Wherever we looked, there were no enemies... and Croix's instructional scourge was the exact same report.

"Bizel, what are you thinking...?

Croix is taking a leap to explore Bizell's sincerity. Here I am,

"On a favourable note, Bizell could not have expected the fortress to be broken so fast..."

"I don't think it's a cautious bizel... but I should have known this one possessed something that could counteract Widels. I don't think we've just consolidated the fortress."

Such a response. Well, I agree with you inside.

It's really creepy and things seem to be a trap in themselves.

"Croix, how's Amel?

"Currently engaged, but apparently pushed by Amel"

"You don't think we need to go cover?

"Seems so."

It is understandable that Croix has gone so far as to respond… but it is also true that the anxiety persists.

In the battle of the fortress, it was definitely confusing because it was half the same as an ambush and the opponent was sometimes standing up. Even if Bizel had assumed he had information about me and Sophia, he probably hadn't passed that information on to the demons in the fortress.

However, it is possible that Bizel was somewhere using demons and the like to show off one end of our power and see the sight. Even if I hadn't seen it, I would have men who would go to report that there are enemies with enough power to destroy the gates of the fortress. If so,

"Croix, if there's a reaction to the enemy, it could be after a few days."

"A few days... after Bizel received a report about the battle of the fortress"

I also guessed Croix in my opinion.

"If so, I'm not in a good position yet... can I interpret that?

"As it stands, it's possible."

"If so, most importantly... well, let's just say it moves in preparation for every situation"

"Oh."

Since then, we have even continued to march… In the end, we have not even been able to discover the appearance of an enemy that would monitor this one instead of encountering it.

Eventually the evening was celebrated, with camp preparations and so on under Croix's direction. Well, I lead a lot of demons and other self-created beings, so it doesn't take as long as it takes.

This neighborhood is different from human warfare... well, I'm still expanding my demons to explore the situation on Bizell's side, but there's no sign that I'm going to set it up when I start preparing for camp. It seems good to see enemies standing up when this happens... but I just knew this side was going to wage war, and it's not weird if you're ready.

At that time, the unity of the demon of use captured in sight the base of Bizel, which existed in the west. It was a castle with a robust castle gate... the colour was white, and if you describe Widels' stronghold as a heavy fort, Bizel's it was lavish... a lot taller and equipped with beauty that you would not expect to see just overwhelming the beholder.

"Croix, the demon reached Bizell's base."

"Is that true? What's the situation?

"Hmmm...... no noticeable movement so far though"

It is true that demons and demons are moving, but we are breaking in and being chased to prepare for it... what an atmosphere.

"You're calm. Maybe he's getting ready for a lot of things out of sight after all."

"... Amel was talking about, do you know anything about weapons?

I don't see anything like it.

"Right..."

Croix puts his hand on his mouth and thinks in. I'm trying to read what kind of hand Bizel is going to hit.

"... let's be vigilant and camp for a moment. Start moving the next morning and continue west while securing your exit"

"Meet Amel in the process..."

"Probably not in that way."

I'm curious how much things are changing tomorrow... but I kind of look up at the sky. There is no demon or other figure, peace itself.

I don't see people in Bizel territory, for example, so I think they're letting them evacuate... but another demon discovered the village here. I'm not surprised because I know you're a human being in Croix territory.

"... hmm?

I frowned. It's a village, but it doesn't look like any villagers.

"Dear Luon, what is it?

Sophia asks. I tried to answer, but I interpreted it as an evacuation and said, "Nothing."

Then, at night, Sophia and I will have dinner in the tent where we were set up. After that, I left my watch to the demons to rest.

"Hmmm......"

I keep observing in the dark with my demon. The moonlight in this demonic realm - I'm sure the Demons made it - is there, so I can ensure my vision.

"Hmmm......"

And I observed the village where no one was, as always, and I roared one.

"Master Luon?

Sophia entering next to leaning her neck. I thought about it a little bit.

"No, I'm doing a little research because the user demon discovered the village... it's probably because it's evacuated,"

"Is it evacuation... there's nothing particularly strange about it if it's true"

"I don't think I need to doubt that weirdly."

That's what I said. I sent the demon into the village. In a truly no-one situation, indoors are just hard to see.

"- Mr. Luon."

Croix's voice on the lid and his appearance...... so look at my face,

"What's going on? He's got a tough face."

"No, I just discovered the village and I'm observing... I was wondering if you were deserted and evacuated"

"Evacuation?"

Croix frowning.

"... in the town where the scouts discovered we were, the town itself was sealed off, but there was no evacuation."

"Really? Is it because the village is close?

"What's the place?

When I told him where he was, he put his arm around him.

"... you're closer to town. Possible evacuation there, but something is uncomfortable."

"It's not like the village's a passage."

"Right. The Bizel side should be building an evacuation stance in anticipation of us coming... but they understand we won't do anything to hit the town, and they won't interfere."

If you attack badly, you lose your trust as a Demon King candidate.

"But it's a village... you know what other places are?

"No, I haven't found it yet... wait"

Another user demon discovers the village in the direction of the mountains.

"I found one in the mountains. I'll get a little closer and find out."

Then a little silence, and I concentrate on my work. So I looked around at buildings and stuff,

"... you're not here. We could have evacuated the mountains with concerns that there might be damage."

"Right...... something hooks me up though"

Croix began to think in arms,

"Hey, can I check it out?"

"Find out? Are you going to that village?

"Oh. Mr. Leon and the others..."

"Then I'll go. Sophia needs to rest."

"Is it good?

"Either one of you should stay."

"... right. Okay."

Nodding Sophia, I said to Croix.

"You should find out what you can look into than you don't know the enemy's ploy... maybe it doesn't really matter this time because the subject is a village"

"No, it's a fact to be hooked. Let's find out. I don't have a problem with that, so let's go with the escort."

Croix tells me - it was like having a hunch about what those eyes were and what they had to do with this fight.
