When they finish their meal, they stay there overnight and move the carriage the next day. The aim is Sabnak Castle in the north. There should have been the merchant of interest. When I reiterate, Saint Jeanne d'Arc asked.
"Speaking of this, it's my first time to go to Savannak Castle"
"Jeanne has fallen under me on the way."
"Yeah, I heard that the ruins were abandoned and only the people received it."
"That's right. At that time there were still few subordinates. I thought it would be better to break down than to keep it forcibly."
"The Devil has always been smart"
"You are welcome"
Then Eve comes to the conversation.
"The Devil King always makes the right choice, but what did the merchant do to such a place, or an enemy spy?"
"It's possible. You have to make every assumption."
Even though Sabnak Castle was destroyed, it was originally a strategic important base where the castle was built. It is quite possible that they came to investigate as a merchant.
"Are merchants an enemy then?"
"I don't know. I came to see it in the first place."
"Yeah. Soon we'll arrive at Savannak Castle. Will you go in this way? Or will you walk away, hiding the carriage?"
"Let's go this way. Raise the emblem of Ashtaroth Castle. If the merchant is a spy, it might get some reaction."
"As expected, my master."
Eve takes out her coat of arms from her luggage compartment and puts it on the carriage hood. The Ashtaroth Army mark shines brightly. Seeing that, Jeanne raises the tension, saying, "It's cool.
We were approaching the castle of former Savannak Castle, looking sideways at Jeanne, who was frolicking like children.
Savannak Castle was destroyed, but the surrounding castle town was not destroyed.
Savannak was not a type of demon that would develop the castle, but the building itself.
Even if not destroyed, there were only buildings that were just weathered and decayed.
"What is a magnificent stone-built castle town made of stone?"
Is the word of Jeanne, but in fact, the castle town of the former Savannak was ragged. It is so old that it is almost decaying.
"Buildings are quickly damaged when no one lives."
This is the word of Eve, a maid who is a building management professional, but it was. A ghost town might refer to such a city. It seemed like an undead was coming.
"Speaking of which, even on your first trip with the Demon King, it was a city battle and was attacked by zombies."
"I don't think you'll ever see that this time,"
Nevertheless, it was a street corner where zombies were likely to appear. If you say such a thing, you will be prepared, but it has a certain meaning.
Being vigilant and enchanting 《Sensitivity》 helped to add a hostile person here.
I felt a red aura several tens of meters behind the building. It is a signal that hostile life is lurking. There were about a dozen or so auras. If you look carefully, you will notice that the shape of the aura is humanoid.
When she told them, Eve became tense and Jeanne immediately touched his sword.
As expected, they are maids and warriors of the Demon King's army. I don't usually seem to be nervous, but in the event of a battle I was able to respond immediately. Only Eve is prepared for it and cannot count as a force.
As usual, pull out the dagger, attach it to your neck, and be prepared to die if you fall into your feet.
I was trembling. He is as loyal as he is, and he is prepared for his body. You can't kill a talented maid like her. I put my strength in my right hand. The magic was included so that the ambushers could respond whenever they attacked.
I regret having left a long sword on the carriage when this happened, but fortunately the strength of the aura was not so much.
I thought it would be possible to compete even with a hand-made fist. At the moment when they mutter, religious people appear from behind the scenes. Everyone was dressed like mercenaries. It's a mercenary style, not a bandit. Are they hired in some city?
It wasn't clear, but the mercenaries sharpened their hostility.
Without any clues, I start pulling out my waist.
"Hey, this is just a travel merchant. Will you attack it suddenly?"
The bandits return.
"I know you belong to Ashtaroth Castle. I was in a carriage with Ashtaloth's coat of arms."
"I see.
This was an act that I thought was too good to be seen or that the merchant would get a response, but it backfired.
No, maybe this is the merchant's reaction. ask.
"Are you hired by a traveling peddler?"
The mercenaries will answer honestly.
"I don't know who it is, but our job is to secure a black-haired peddler, to get rid of it before meeting the Demon King Ashtaroto."
"I see, that kind of mechanism"
Apparently, the travel merchant seems to be a grudge against others.
"But it doesn't tell me the details."
"Well, if you get rid of you here, this won't go into Ashtaroth's ears. It's a simple calculation."
"I see, it's surprisingly clear. But there's one problem."
"What?"
"It's that Demon King Ashtaroth that's in front of you."
The moment the mercenaries said, "What !?"
My fireball exploded. The blow caused two mercenaries to fire.
