The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

At that time, the whole thing was taking its regular big pause, and I was sitting in a chair a little open.

Great pauses are used mainly during lunch, for example, in places such as large breaks that take about an hour.

Now, after lunch, it's time to get some rest.

Beyond the small wooden tree, there is a river running across the border, and there is noise with Zavozavo.

The river gained momentum and sounded like it was washing rough rock skin.

The sound of a different quality than the whispering of the Great River flowing through Sibyak is unsettling.

But that's the end of the long journey.

Think about it, it was a long time.

It was when I thought so.

What came was a man of his men who took the eagle and looked serious.

The man, still in a seriously sounding voice, made a serious report.

"What? Say it again"

I was asking him back by accident.

"Yes. Depending on the reconnaissance of the Rube family, a thousand troops are landing and climbing this path, flying the Pope's flag."

I felt my relaxed heart being eagled with my frozen hands.

Your blood pressure rises and your heart feels dodgy.

"Right. And then what was he saying?"

"The bridge may be broken down. First, I want you to be safe."

Oh, my God.

A bridge takes money and time to call back.

If it's information that could be a mistake, I wouldn't lightly say "you can smash it".

Because if you break it and then it means "it looks like it was a mistake", the damage is enormous.

I guess that means definitive information that has been confirmed not once, but more than once.

And you, that's a compound word for you.

It implicitly shows Carol, Teru, and hence me and Lyao, including their sequence.

"Did Lord Kien say that?"

"Exactly."

This is Meera, the only eagle rider I've brought, born of a knight who belongs to the Rube family lineage.

In that relationship, around the end of the journey, he made contact with the Rube family.

No wonder I met Kien in person.

"How's the Hot Bridge?"

A hot bridge is a bridge that passes all the way downstream of this river, near the estuary.

This bridge was shelled and partially collapsed by a gunboat about three days ago by an arrow tip I wanted to go through in a priority frame.

Thanks for the rough aim, most of the shells didn't hit the bridge, but one that happened to hit, destroyed one of the continuous arches, and the bridge collapsed less than ten meters or so.

Because of that, the people who decided not to wait for the restoration to cut it off, like us, were headed upstream to the bridge.

I hear the gunboat is anchored on an invisible coast from the water.

I thought it was just harassment, was it set with this landing operation?

But how could you do that by now?

Are you after me...?

I don't know.

Coming ashore on a ship was a blind spot.

But from the beginning, Cotto was exposed, assuming he was after us, and I can't explain why.

If that were the case, you could have attacked me more in front of you.

Why is there a time difference between the gunship and the landing?

If we had landed at the same time as the shelling of the gunships, we hadn't even reached the border yet.

That would have allowed us to raid far from Rube territory, secure and not far from the water, that is, easy to retreat.

Was it better to get landed at the right time?

Or did you decide to chase him with a critical girth?

"Um, Lord Yuri?

"Oh, oh... go on"

"The Hot Bridge seems to have brought several large trees and made a handover. Now, except for the big carriage."

A broken bridge is only a part of it.

If you had a bunch of Marutai with ten meters to hand over, it would be possible to repair that.

If it is so round, it is difficult to transport because it is quite heavy, but if it is made of small wood, a bridge girder needs to be made to support it.

First aid repair is correct.

"... haven't Rube's soldiers climbed up"

"... he doesn't seem to be here. Because the bridge collapsed."

Reason is that you can't come back to this side because you've already crossed to the Siyalta side.

Because of pushing the refugees and crossing them as a matter of priority, it's not easy to go back, he said.

It's a big deal.

"You tell him to go back and do something about it. If you're downstream, you can't come to this side by swimming."

"But..."

"I know I can't come by the time the enemy comes into contact with us. But the enemy, if the people remain, will probably slaughter them. You miss the people who did that without even getting their hands on it with your eyes and nose tipped? What's gonna happen to the Rube family?"

"Ugh..."

Meera made a sinister face.

"Only to Lord Kien, tell him so. Good, only to Lord Kien."

"Okay."

"Go."

With that said, Meera ran to the eagle.

It's June 29th.

Tomorrow, we'll reach the upstream Zook Bridge.

but the Zuck Bridge, that way, is a huge traffic jam for refugees whose waiting is well over 10,000.

In this state, if an enemy soldier enters there, what happens?

But when we get there, it'll be the end of the line.

It will be the shield of the people, it sounds good, but that is not the status quo that is allowed to rest in peace.

This is not the time to think and think for about ten seconds.

He threw his cane on the spot and walked out toward Kakedri.

I still took care of it and used it, but not the other way around.

"Lyao."

Speaking from the ride, Lyao, who, like me, was in great pause, turned this way.

"Oh, Lord Yuri."

I'll answer you in a flamboyant way.

I guess the tired expedition is coming to an end and there's something to rest your mind on.

Beside Lyao, there was also Gyom.

Somehow they were calculating residual supplies.

"Hey, come on."

When I hooked Kakedri's reins to a stopped carriage protrusion, I called Lyao, pointing into the wood.

So tell Gyom too.

"Gyom, you, you got a hard mouth."

"It will be for you to judge."

I'm upset.

"Not if you're asking questions."

I looked like Gyom was under barometric pressure for my words.

"Enough, just follow me. What we're going to talk about is useless."

If they talk, they talk. Then we'll think about it.

Still, you're running out of room for me, too.

As it was, I proceeded to walk a little deeper into the woods.

I come to the point where people don't have to worry about me talking to them, and the three of us stick each other in the face.

There was just a good, non-damp tree trunk, so I deposited my back.

"I'll tell you the gist. Thousands of troops in the pope's territory are landing near the estuary and climbing here ignoring the Hot Bridge"

Saying that, Lyao's eyes opened and Gyom breathed.

"We have to figure out a way to get Carol and the princess away. but as far as carol's concerned, there's no problem at the moment. I'm just talking about borrowing an eagle from anyone and letting them cross the other side."

The river has already narrowed in width and is no longer a very, but walkable stream.

Carol's legs are a lot better too.

It won't mean you can't ride an eagle.

At this distance, there is little anxiety.

"The problem is the princess carriage that Dora is guarding. Let me get ahead of you right now."

Terre can't ride eagles better, so this needs to be done.

"Let some platoons get ahead of you at the same time so you can manage the refugees and get them across efficiently all night. Right, those guys use the most capable ones. If a crazy guy seems to disobey and disobey instructions, you can kill him on the spot."

After I said it, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Is there a problem with killing?

I'm also afraid that the blood splash will fly and go into frenzy.

"Don't stab him to death with a spear, try to throw him into the river. I'll take responsibility."

That would leave no blood, no bodies.

"Are they after us?

Lyao expressed his doubts.

Those guys, that would mean an enemy army.

"I don't know. But, well... I'm after the two princesses, most likely. If hunting for slaves is what you want, you should do it on the hot bridge."

"Well, that's true."

Lyao agreed.

Maybe it's necessary to destroy the Hot Bridge as the first step in a more complex and onerous operation and keep it northbound, or something like that, but Carol and Terre would normally be the purpose.

"If we can't do that, we should kill the people in (...) with (...). In this depths, it will be difficult to bring them back in slavery."

"I agree. Especially if it is papal territory, it will be so"

Gyom said something he hadn't even heard.

With as many as a thousand soldiers, it's easy to kill millions if you can't, but thousands or so.

If you kill three heads at a time, you'll be three thousand.

In fact, when you are in a situation where you cannot take a human home as a slave, there is no leisure time for examples of the other side doing that.

Upstream of this river, near the bridge, tens of thousands of people are packed and waiting for passage.

The thousand we bring in will be at the end of the line, but there will be no shortage of people to kill.

"In parallel, if there's any wood dust with an axe, charge as much as you can. Fish with gold if you don't like it. I don't care how many people."

When leaving the reformation, only one instrument involved in the industry was to be admitted as a policy of causing the load to be thrown away.

You can't have a big loom or anything, but if you're a knife, sewing tool, sculptor, fleas, and that kind of stuff, there are quite a few guys with it.

Less wood dust in urban areas, but some of them would have axes.

"Don't know what to do."

"Put it on your ass, let it cut a tree and knock you down the road,"

I guess that's about it.

If I didn't know, I'd be an idiot.

"That's right. Defeat the tree crown so it doesn't jump over easily."

"Okay. Do so."

"And keep the information secret from the refugees. Except for letting them cross all night, I want to let them sleep well at night and wake up early tomorrow morning"

"Right. Let's do that."

Lyao nodded.

"That's the end of the story. Get to work."

"Will Lord Yuri look for Myalo?"

"No, leave the explanation for Myalo with you."

I have other things to do.

"I'll borrow an eagle to see the enemy. Begin the action. It's a fight against time."

Lyao and Gyom ran out when they bowed their heads softly to me.
