Roland wandered through the volcano.

Magma flowing by.

The sky is dyed with orange and black.

The Fire Dragon (Fafnir) exhaled the Breath of Fire and burned the sky.

All of a sudden, arrows fly from high ground, and the "White Wolf" squad comes backwards, sparkling the sword.

Lorraine turned to his side.

The troops were in disastrous condition.

The weapons are worn out, the legs are broken, and everyone looks exhausted.

Somehow we have to protect the troops.

With that heart, Lorraine desperately inspired his allies.

However, the allies react slowly and inertia, only to push forward repeatedly, and not even the sword can stand up properly.

Before the transformative attack of the "White Wolf", which returns like a wave, the troops are manipulated and ravaged in a good way.

One ally fell and another fell, and Lorraine was the only one left.

The "White Wolf" blade approaches Lorraine's back.

"Ha!!

Roland woke up on the bed.

My face is sweating like a waterfall.

When Roland was confused without grasping the situation, a woman with green eyes peeked worriedly.

She looked like a goddess to Roland.

"Mr. Roland. You're awake."

"Are you... Lily? Why are you here? So this is....."

I looked around unexpectedly.

That was my room.

A tub of towels and water is placed next to it.

(Lily, did you take care of me?)

"I'm surprised. I heard you came back from the dungeon and ran. You're losing your mind."

Lilianne said while wiping Laurent's face with a squeezed towel.

"Dungeon... did I get my troops back from the dungeon?

"Yes, Leon says she lost consciousness when she came back from the dungeon."

I see. Is the unit safe? Ah, yes. Those who were taken prisoner by the White Wolf..... "

"The Shield of Dawn, including Leon, is negotiating on behalf of the Alliance. So far, it's proceeding without any particular problems, and tomorrow the prisoners will be released."

I see. Is there a problem? "

Lorraine lay on the bed relieved and relaxed.

"Yes, so Roland needs a little rest...."

Lilianne almost said that and noticed that Lorraine was sleeping again.

I slept a little more comfortably than I had been told.

"Mr. Roland...."

By the time Lorraine woke up, Alice, Claire, and Will, who had been captured, had been freed from the White Wolf.

With regard to the release of prisoners, Leon, who was in charge of the White Wolf and a temporary representative of the Alliance, fulfilled the island's prisoner of war agreement.

Alice stretches her wrists completely tight because of the restraints.

"Haah. I was finally freed from my prisoner life. Your body's stiffened up, already!

"It's been a long time since I've been a prisoner. Is Hans going to be all right?"

"Hmm, I don't know. He's got a weak spot. I hope you don't get caught up in your alliance."

Alice worries about her brother with a difficult face.

"Oops, if I hear rumors, they'll pick me up."

Will looked at Lana and Hans coming from over there and said.

"Alice, Claire. Are you okay?"

Oniisama...

Hans goes to Alice and Claire, and Lana rushes to Will to make sure she's okay.

"I'm fine. What happened to the Alliance?

"I managed to get back to the city without collapsing. But I'm glad."

They shared joy by celebrating each other's safety for a while.

I see. Roland fell. "

You were too hard on the boulders.

"Oh, I wasn't much help in the retreat either. When I wake up, I have to go see him."

"But what will happen to the Alliance from now on?"

Alice told her to groan.

What?

"I mean, this is a real failure, right? Our damage is still minor, but the loss of the" Spirit Factory "will not be stupid, right?

Alchemy Guild-led alliances have also seen their limits.

"I can't believe the Spirit Factory itself is going to end... it won't happen."

"That's... why don't you ask Roland..."

The five men will all look depressed.

It was almost evening that Roland woke up again.

Yes. Um...

Lilianne takes the cut apple to Lorraine's mouth.

"Lily, it's okay. My body moves. You don't have to be so careful."

"Well, that's good. Yes, ahn"

"Mug"

Lorraine put the fruit Lilianne had to offer in her mouth.

"We've seen your alliance's team. Some of the squads were poor adventurers with no status adjustments. The equipment is worn out."

Ugh

"It's not like you. I can't believe I'm being so reckless."

"Adventurer on this island, things can't be the same."

"I heard from the studio staff. This island is said to allow adventurers to fight each other."

"That's right. So there's an alliance called" White Wolf "that makes it a business to steal from adventurers, and they're in trouble anyway. Do exactly what I hate." Dragon Fire "is also a problem. I was told that the island's largest studio (Atelier) is the world's leading alchemy guild... Well, there are certainly many good alchemists. However, the fact is that it is a merchant of death. Adventurers are profiting by fighting each other and draining their equipment. Zero adventurers on the island are making things easier. While putting pressure on adventurer alliances from outside to build alliances, in the battle stage, your alliance's interests are prioritized and uncooperative. It makes the White Wolf easy to move and drives the evil of the Dragon Fire."

"Hmm. I see. Everything is different from The City of Adventurers."

"How about The City of Adventurers?

I don't think so.

Lilianne sighed with distress.

"Lorraine's absence from the Alliance for a long time has begun to hit him. How long will it take to prepare for the Great Fire Dragon Crusade?"

I see.

"I've tried to defend Roland's position as much as possible... But you're in trouble. During this visit, I was going to listen to the progress of the preparations and remind you of the deadline, but I can't rush to conclusions without darkness."

Lilianne thinks with her arms together.

"That's right. As long as I can't get a clear answer, it's as hard as it gets."

Lorraine puts his hand on his face and acts like he's lost his way.

"Nevertheless, in this case, it was revealed that the alchemists in the workshop (Atelier) were still mentally immature. I thought it would be okay to focus on developing adventurers, but it was sweet. As far as the defective gear is concerned, it's too early to turn a blind eye to the Workshop. I don't know what to do...."

"Looks like you're struggling, Mr. Roland."

Lorraine was relieved by the call.

(This voice...)

Turning to the entrance, a familiar person of Roland stood.

"Range!?

Ariel and Chial looked at each other from behind.

"My work in the City of Adventurers has come to an end...."

"I'm here to support you!

"Regardless of the dungeon exploration, I think we can help with the Alchemy Guild and the workshop operation."
