My father moved quickly after receiving reports of the appearance of the Beast.

While gathering the Quardistant aristocrats wandering around the venue, they instructed the cavalry officers outside to remain alert. My father's maid didn't seem to be enough, so my maid secretly lent it to me. For the time being, I only posed in such a way that I was giving instructions to my own child not to be treated.

The imminent threat of the Beast in Levios territory is a matter for the Levios family to deal with, and the Qordenze family does not need to do anything. The contents of my father's instructions were not against the beast, but against the aristocrats.

"If you go straight ahead, you expect to reach King's Landing before dawn."

"How long will the royal castle be waiting?"

"We have no choice but to find out the extent of the threat. Besides, isn't it time for the Crusaders to clash?

It would have been a long time before the night club ended, and it would have been a good time to go back to the mansion and sleep with Suyasuya. The mouth of the nobles gathered around him is as light as bouncing, whether it is to deceive the sleeping devil or because the nobility's true role of demon beast crusade is approaching.

The imminent threat of the Beast in Levios territory is a matter for the Levios family to deal with. But that's not why nobles in our kingdom are free to move. We must stand idly by while House Levios crushes. It would also be a natural consideration as a nobleman who protects the land.

The request to wait for the royal castle is one of them. When the kingdom's nobles return to their respective mansions, the Levios family will devote so much of its personnel to the city's security. Until we find out the details of the beast that has emerged, we have to respond because it is also a minor request with conditions.

That's why the Imperial Castle has us staying. It is very sleepy whether it is around 2: 00 a.m. or 3: 00 a.m. in Earth time. I feel like I'm going to fall asleep on the table when I'm out of my mind.

I heard it originated in the former Taren territory, but it did.

"It's fast from birth to discovery. I'm sure the Levios were concerned about the absence of the lord."

My father has told me never to relax, never to sleep, never to wake up. I listen to the conversations around me and try to stay conscious.

According to the Knight Levios who came to report at that time, he confirmed the outbreak of a mature beast southwest of King's Landing. Although the occurrence field is not definitive at this time, it is believed to be from the former Taren territory.

To the south lies the kingdom of Levios, where the ruler is absent. These are the ancient kingdoms of nobility that were destroyed by the scourge of El Senior. The former Taren domain ruled by the Taren family is one of them.

Born in a large field just south of King's Landing, Elseniors the Beast changed course and entered the Lushna region after a spectacular battle with the Levios army. Some mature beasts take time for their combat abilities and traits to reach full throttle. It seems that Elsenior Magic Beast was the corresponding Slow Starter Magic Beast, and it was only after entering the Lushna region that he began to realize its true value.

It seems that the Levios army at the time when Gear fought at Low estimated the Magic Beast Elseniors as the mature Magic Beast that broke out with the top gear immediately after their birth as the second most threatening and battle-specialized type. In the aftermath of the devastating catastrophe, I heard that it must be the biggest Demon Beast in the threat class now.

Regardless, the aristocracy of the Lushna region dispersed one after the other before the overwhelming demonic power. The Levios army and others who came to fight as reinforcements suffered more devastating damage than the Magic Beast defense battle in their own territory and were forced to withdraw early.

"Former Tarran territory field. Do you know Prume?

"I know....."

Plume, the girl sitting face-to-face, felt something stinging in her voice.

What makes her upset is that I danced with Romillier. I would be glad if there was any mix of jealousy and yakimotsu saying, "Will, you'll fall in love with a girl other than me... look more at me", but I don't know how to do it. After all, I have explained various reasons for exploring the enemies' inner feelings and whether Prume is more cute and attractive, but the fact that I danced with the princess of the Spierzeike family seems to be just uncomfortable.

My father hates the Spierzeike family because of the murder of my real brother and uncle, Quoldenze Gardakul, and his wife, who came from the Silopéa family, died with him. For this reason, the Count of Silopair has no less grievances than his father. Since the Count, who is the guardian, is saying bad things about the Spiazeike family, it is natural that Plume has a strong disgust.

But they reacted quite differently when they learned about my behavior.

Count Silopeia didn't show any frustration at all with me. It was somehow an impression, but I felt like I was afraid. It came from the very end of the word that I was very vigilant about the possibility of being taken out of my bones by a Spiazeike woman. Plume pummels with a bluish and speechless Count in response to a situation that may miss an opportunity for revenge. It is the former that is overwhelmingly intriguing.

Well, Prume's grievances are inherited after all, so it's inevitable to lose sight of them. Inheritance taxes also apply to the inheritance of grievances.

"... Will doesn't sleep?

"Sleepy"

She giggled at my answer, which was too frank.

Maybe there are parts that are sleepy and frustrating. This late evening is very difficult for the Elo Continental, who will finish most of his activities at dusk.

Me and Plume are still in need of healthy sleep. I think I'll even activate magic to awaken my consciousness. But once I wake up, I can't sleep until the effect expires, so I don't want to use it if possible.

"Dad... he's still busy."

The royal castle has a Lovejo section, and I wonder if you could let me sleep there. That's why it's good to be in the same room as Plume.... yeah, I'm sleepy. Your thoughts are slowing down.

Place your hands on the table and roll your thumbs around. Then turn your index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger in order. I can't sleep at all.

"... is something wrong with your uncle?

Plume, who saw my hand play, pushed his index finger in to interfere with my finger rotation. Shake it off and spin her finger again, and she'll stick her index finger in our way with impunity. I don't know, I feel like I'm sleeping too much and my intelligence is dropping sharply between us.

"Just now, while we were talking, there was a report of a beast. I couldn't hear it until the end, so I want to continue."

"Can't you do it later...?

"I can't sleep because I'm concerned."

I was slapped slightly on the back of my hand. I wonder if you want to say that with such a sleepy face.

Thanks, Plume seemed really upset, and she felt that even opening her mouth was a billion times. She is slightly glossy as she moves her lips slightly and stares at me blurrily.

"I have to listen to the end of the story...."

As is often the case with cartoons and novels, I don't like the development where something happens in the middle of an important conversation and I can't hear the information until the end. It's just a little thing, so if you have time for boring exchanges, you want to preach to the characters you want to hear. Therefore, I must also act in order not to be preached by me until yesterday.

"The reason for my father's strong vigilance.... I need to know that."

It's not a word to tell anyone. I declare my determination to keep my voice down to the level I can only hear myself.

Father was very vigilant about the assassination, surprised by the confusion of the appearance of this beast. And instead of trying to mend his appearance, nobles other than the Quordenze insist on staying away from him.

The cause of vigilance was somewhat predictable. First of all, there must be a connection between the Spierzekes. And perhaps even the death of my uncle.

I saw them leave the door.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Beyond Wilk's gaze, there were two shadows in the private room beyond the door and through another venue.

The studio apartment is lined up with a large sofa facing each other. It was a small room prepared for a short break in the middle of the evening party.

Spiazeike MacNis, the current lord of the Spiazeike family, and his daughter Romillier. They have been quietly waiting in this room since they were informed of the appearance of the Beast. Because I decided that I should not make bad contact with the kingdom's aristocrats in this situation where there are no allies around me.

However, none of the kingdom's nobles approached House Spiazeike during this visit, with the exception of the host Levios. Every house is distant because they know the dominant situation of the Quordenze family. You'll only get a nasty look when you talk to me.

"... this is also the impact of the operation."

Operation Wheat and Sickle. It was a counterattack designed by McNice with the aim of eliminating the threat posed by the Qordenze family to the present day at Rishreef Castle.

The movement is sealed by hitting several of the Lord's Patriarchates on Qordenze Garfis, during which a separate task force reaps the city along the Amelia River, including the city of Nambonan. Separating the mainland from the outside of Qordenze will prevent reinforcements from the city of New Nelly. It's like a farmer grabbing the wheat and mowing its roots with a sickle. The harvested wheat, Garfith, is sun-dried and weakened, and eventually cooked deliciously.

In order to realize the plan, McNeith demanded the presence of the former Voistra aristocracy, instigated an independent aristocracy to raid Evenapis territory, and used the discord in the family to set the Galliana family on fire. Fight Garfis, just for that.

But the operation failed. That's the worst form of it.

"It's as pathetic as Quoldenze...."

McNith trembled with a hard fist. He still deeply regrets the loss of his beloved son as a result of his plan. What smokes in my chest is a dark vengeance. But I couldn't hit the Quordenze family with all my heart.

The failure of Operation Wheat and Sickle has made Spiazeike's inner feelings very harsh. The impact of the collapse of the Voistra shields is enormous, and even the control of the former Voistra aristocracy is becoming more difficult. I had to stick to the truce and buy time to get things back together.

No matter how much hatred shakes your heart, the survival of House Spiazeike must come first. That is our duty. McNice doesn't doubt it.

In that regard, he hated the Qordenze family, now the current lord, Qordenze Luxe.

"Earthworms."

McNeither despises Luce as a subservient, earthworm.

He was of the view that the depth of his obsession, which continued to hate the Spiazeikes by neglecting the interests of the house, was not commensurate with him. And it's the same for the ancestors and the ancestors. Quordenze Cassia, Quordenze Garfis, Quordenze Luxe, three generations of people who would not be in their original position.

However, it was a historical fact that the safety of the Spiazeike family was threatened by the three main parties. That makes McNith even more frustrated.

"Milord. I brought you some hot water."

A maid enters the room and arranges two cups with hot water on the mini table. Romillier, who was sitting on the sofa and half asleep, noticed it and quietly grabbed her hand and gently put her mouth to it.

"What's your voice?

The maid answers McNice's short question.

"No problem."

That was an answer that meant that if it was a normal conversation, it would not be heard outside. Until recently, if you were to listen to a real wiretap using magic, you might hear it. Given the extent of the wiretapping, it can be said that there was almost nothing to worry about.

Finally scattered.

"Ha, it looks like a lot of people are out there. I'll be more vigilant."

The maid left the room after declaring himself bugged. Then the door is slammed several times from the outside before you can drink half of the white water. It is a sign that there is no problem talking. McNeither magically knocked back at the door and saw Romillier.

"Are you calm?

"It's okay. Father."

I know you're tired, but I have to ask you something.

It will be nailed to the royal castle for a while. In some cases, socializing with the King's Landing may be discontinued and dissolved. He was of the view that the current situation needed to be known at an early stage in order to make the next move.

"How'd it go?

When she heard his father's words, Romillier closed her arms to embrace her body silently. The fingertips are trembling quietly.

When socializing with Wang Dynasty, McNeither had the primary purpose of weighing the character Qordenze Wilk.

From the counters to Operation Wheat and Sickle, and testimonies of the soldiers who survived Operation Snake Fang's onslaught, he learned of the power the Qordenze family secretly held. However, with this alone, McNice would have regarded Wilk only as a very dangerous samurai. It was the return of his son, Verrett, who repainted the assessment at once. This behavior is completely unimaginable from the information that was obtained in advance: "Luce's beloved illegitimate son." Or he could think of an intention to mock him by sending a body that he had done everything he could to humiliate him. But the body that was actually sent was makeup on a very polite death, and there was no trace of contempt for the loser.

It is a heterogeneous thought in Qordenze. At the very least, it was clear that he was a person who did not have a firm idea of Spiazeike hatred.

McNice thought. If I had been in Wilk's place, I should have made peace with Spierzeike now that I had Rishreef Castle in my hands. It takes time to make the fields that are not yet mastered completely into Quordenze, and if the Spiazeikes are to be destroyed badly, the Quordenze family will become a huge existence, attracting great vigilance and rebellion not only from the kingdom nobles and the Levios family, but also from the nobles of the western Empire. Summarization is desirable while retaining an overwhelming advantage over Spiazeike. After the system is in place, such as the Spiazeike family, who lost Voistra's shield, we should properly lead the invasion again. It is best if you act rationally as a parent.

McNice expected Wilk to have a different personality and a temperament that prioritized reason over affection.

He was rational.

Romillier knows how his father feels about Quardenze. She thought that the first thing to tell her was Wilk's attitude toward himself.

Wilk didn't throw insults or show an openly disgusting attitude about being a Spiazeike. The practice of inviting people to dance was sincere, there was no pressure from the position of kingdom nobility, and the content of the conversation was intelligent.

I don't think he's possessed by vengeance delusion, that's what Romillier came to. Wilk called out for more than reason, but she had no reason to know.

"Hmm... not bad"

I was in the Spiazeike group on the way to the night club, but I couldn't move as I thought. In a situation where the nobles of the Qordenze kingdom can see, Wilk cannot be easily approached. Even though they had promised to socialize with the King's Landing before, now that they were disadvantaged, the Levios family was not sufficiently swallowed to offer special cooperation to the Spiazeikes. It can be described as a state of isolation and helplessness.

McNeither did Wilk, who had to take a different course of action, nor was he able to hold hands and check the magic amount, which McNeither believed to be true.

"... lunch?

Romillier sifted the entire body as well as the neck to hide the tremors of her fingers, and shook it small to deny the father's question. And it didn't just end there, but I stopped moving once and shook my head again. Very strong denial.

McNeither did McNeither knew if there was a way to defeat the Qordenze army, including Wilk, in the middle of the day, that the answer was no. It was a conversation that kept his arm out of reach, but his overflowing magical amount made him feel tingling on his skin.

I checked with Romillier only to be careful. She showed strong denial, as McNice had expected.

"Night is the night."

It was not a question, it was rather close to talking to oneself. Romillier understands that, so he won't show his reaction.

No matter how much magic the Lord's ancestors possessed, they could not be killed by surprise. An assassination night in the sense of an ambush in the dark, aiming for life. And the other night, it's a love affair. It's a metaphor for attracting people with color schemes and forcibly connecting peace through marriage… luring them into bed.

If you are aiming for love, it is important that you choose the princess to feed. After checking her daughter's appearance, McNice asked briefly, thinking it was useless.

"In Etoaris?

Since the fall of Rishreef, Romillier and Wilk have exchanged letters. Of course, my father, McNice, knows everything about it.

Reading a letter from Wilk, he first doubted his handwriting. Written with a clever brushwork and educated writing, it did not seem like a letter made by a very 13-year-old boy. However, falsifying the autograph as an autograph is a disgrace to the aristocracy, and it is difficult to imagine such a weakness to show the enemy. I brought Romillier with me to King's Landing because I needed to find out.

"... I wrote to you. Besides, the store is scared."

The information Romillier gained from the dance is not limited to Wilk's magic. By using a variety of conversations, we were also speculating on their intelligence.

Romillier's reply to the letter included the fact that he was a knowledgeable and educated person who only wrote the letter.

"Was that correct?"

Of the daughters left in the Spiazeike family, Wilk and the elderly are only the Romillier of the main house and the Etoaris of the branch. McNeither is convinced that his choice to bring Romillier was right.

Well, I didn't expect that from the beginning.

Now precious is El Senior's evil, but before that, it was only the mother to produce the Lord's ancestors who would be the personnel of the Shadow House, which is the Etoaris. Cultivation, elegance, and beauty don't even reach Romillier. The only thing we can appreciate is the high sense of belonging to the Spiazeikes. There is only one thing to appreciate: there is little worry that it will be captured by Quordenze even if it is taken out.

In any case, I would like to get the consideration of a truce by cutting the user-friendly card. At this time, the existence of Romillier was a trump card for McNith and the Spiazeike. However, considering that he is the master of the letter, he thinks that there will still be only Romilliers to match. I can't keep up with conversations in Etoaries.

"Even so, the beast....."

McNice sighed at the worst timing.

Wilk's contact with the enemy princess Romillier is likely to be favourable. I don't know whether the intellect of my daughter, as expressed in the exchange of letters, or the beauty of the dress presented at the evening party, attracted interest, but there must have been something I felt. In that case, he continued to stay in King's Landing and actively invited his daughter to a night club where he met him. However, I don't know what happens to Wangdu socializing in the future due to the appearance of the Magic Beast. He feels itchy about not being able to take advantage of these opportunities.

"I heard it was a monster from the former Taren realm."

"Oh, yeah. It may be a mature beast with a militant temperament toward the Lord's ancestors that is heading towards King's Landing.... no, or"

Or is someone magically guiding the Beast? McNice felt the malicious smell lurking behind this beast disturbance.

Magic that guides the Beast. The magic once said to have been used by the ancestor Zeus is generally already lost magic, and it is treated like a legend in the middle. But the Spierzeikes were convinced of the magic. This is because about a hundred years ago, the Spiazeike people used their magic to guide the whole mature beast that appeared in the Spiazeike territory to the Qordenze territory.

At that time, the Quordenze family continued to expand momentum in the rising air currents created by the flames of the turmoil, expanding their territory to reach the Amelia River. It was a time when the Spiazeike and Qordenze territories were adjacent.

Both now and in the past, Spiazeike Quardenze's friendship was poor, and the territory's contact made it imperative to further intensify the conflict in the future. Therefore, the Lord of the Spiazeike family at the time thought of using the mature beast that happened to appear in his own territory. Using the magic of Witchbeast guidance, the region connecting Spiazeike and Qordenze was painted with pure earth and eventually banished into Qordenze territory.

The beast's name is Ark Noah. It is a mature magic beast that is highly specialized in pollution ability and ranks fifth in the threat class.

The contamination released by the beast Ark Noah is very intense and 100 years later, the dirt is still not completely cleansed. The area, now known as the Arkhnoa Contaminated Zone, was once a very important street connecting the Voistra and Lydia plains.

As a nobleman who protects the earth from beasts, it is a spreading act of pollution that can never be tolerated. McNith was told of it by his predecessor, the Duke of Spiazeike, on the night of the governor's inheritance. It was a history of darkness that left nothing in the document.

No one in the Spiazeike family can use the magic of the Beast Induction anymore, because it failed to pass on. However, given the fact that it once existed, it is possible for other humans as long as the conditions are met.

If only someone could do it...

Behind McNice's head was the figure of St. Lorna the Witch, the girl she saw at the night club.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"I'm very sleepy. How's Priest Faith?

Lorna, who entered the break room near the night club, said so at the very beginning of the opening. Her eyes are narrowed and she appeals to her how sleepy she is, and her figure has an age-appropriate love.

"I'm fine."

Faith hammered it and signaled Gillian, who was waiting outside the room, to be alert to eavesdropping several times. Immediately, Concom replies that there is no problem continuing the conversation with Concom.

Since the appearance of the Beast, the number of Levios around Rona has gradually decreased. I was also instructed to go to the break room to reduce the number of security personnel. Thanks to this, we no longer have the resources to eavesdrop on conversations. The troublesome task of bugging was somewhat easier, so it was very thankful to Gicyan.

"I'm glad Priest Cynthia is safe."

At the end of the next main meeting, the maid with Wilk asked for a written signature. It is mannerous not to take public minutes at night parties. If so, it is limited to the case where an agreement has been reached between individuals and the written documents have been confirmed with each other.

The documents presented by Wilk were lined up with tedious exchanges that took place during the meeting. I don't think it's worth keeping in the minutes. And Wilk was behaving like he didn't care about writing. It's as if communicating with Lorna's minutes is an end in itself.

The children of the nobility had interpreted the movement to control and the achievement of personal interaction as an attempt to reach Prince Dunkel and Saddin, but to leave room for a unique connection with the Holy Witch.

Of course, what Wilk really wanted was the content of the document, which was the rationale for getting the identity of the Cynthian priest back in time.

"Yeah, I'm really glad."

Faith was unable to determine the true purpose of the exchange. If the Qordenze family has captured Cynthia, it is not necessary to ask the priest for permission to do so. No one can complain about killing or turning it into a grandfather producer. Even if it was the purpose as interpreted by the noble children, it was no wonder, and it was a normal idea.

"Did the teacher tell you the story?

"Perhaps. But I can't assure you that I haven't heard from Reverend Renesa."

Fayce thinks she doesn't want Cynthia's identity guaranteed. She knew that even if she was one of Rona's most important men, High Priest Renesa was not optimistic enough to make dangerous negotiations with the Quordenze family for one of the lower priests.

About Cynthia's life and death, I guess. That's what Faith said, but Rona seemed happy, so she didn't pinch her mouth. Either way, we can't do anything to help ourselves today, and just speculating on speculation makes no sense. I decided that I should tell her calmly after calming down.

"If you're tired, it's okay to take turns.

Lorna cares about the faith that stands and waits.

"No, I just used awakening magic. I won't be able to sleep for a while, so please don't worry about the Holy Witch and have a good night. I'm here."

"Oh, it's not good that magic is forcing things to happen..."

"When I was a student, I spent many nights like this. It's something I'm used to."

Faith smiles bitterly at Rona, who shows a slightly stunned expression.

While studying at an academic institution in the Holy City, Faith sought knowledge and simply encouraged his studies and research. Thanks to her, she can now work under the Holy Witch, so she has no further reflection or regret.

"... I see. If so, can I talk to you for a moment? I might fall asleep on the way, but...."

While saying so, Rona brings the prepared drink to her mouth. The lovely sound of swallowing resonated little by little in the quiet room.

"What did Priest Faith think of the nobles who heard about the Beast?

You want to make sure it's the same, Faith said. She speaks frankly of her feelings.

"I hate the appearance of the beast, but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by a sense of purpose.... being a guardian of the earth, a cowardice to nobility. Now I understand deeply that it is a word that comes from my heart."

Faith remembers the faces of the nobles she saw at the night club.

They were somewhat excited about the fact that the Beast appeared. At first I looked up, but soon I started having fun with the nobles elsewhere. The reaction in the Holy City is completely different. For priests and Holy Military officials, the beast is nothing but evil, an enemy that must be defeated.

Rona, who had the same feelings as her, nodded well and expressed her agreement with the words before asking questions.

"But why don't we all fight? I think it would be easy to destroy a lower level mature beast. Because there are so many nobles, even if there is a Kentark-class Demon Beast, isn't it difficult to deal with it?

"Even if there is a connection to the kingdom, all nobles are considered independent. Helping without permission would hurt the pride of the Levios family in protecting the land. I think it's a different way of thinking than the Holy City."

Faith explained that it was due to a difference in thought, but I felt like I couldn't do it before I "wouldn't." A lot of attack magic will naturally fly in a Demon Beast Crusade. Could a number of nobles collaborate in such situations? It's like a powder magazine, with a chain of command and a fragmented army of ancestors. When I saw the nobles who had come to King's Landing, Faith thought it was impossible.

"This is how the royal castle stands by for its cowardice."

That's what Rona said, staring at the face, then dropping the volume of her voice and continuing her words.

"Again, this is what happens."

"Yes"

Lorna, who received the faith's reaction, restored the volume to its original size.

"Because the earth is a common enemy of the nobles, I think we should fight together. Father Faith, who leads the Crusaders?

"With Prince Dunkel as the general general, it seems that the Levios family is accompanied by several people."

Rona shouted, oh, at the appearance of the person who had spoken earlier.

Really? Now, the Levios may be uncomfortable, but I wish you well. "

Quickly, Rona showed a simple gesture of prayer on the spot. He invites Faith to pray.

Unlike King Levios, Prince Dunkel has the idea of prioritizing his own territory and strengthening the kingdom's institutions. The realm is the Levios, the kingdom of nobility, in short, south of the World River. It does not emphasize the entry of fog into the earth. The nobles do not enter the land of mist... and Faith knows the true meaning of the advice of the Episcopal Church. Because she had reached that knowledge with her genius and hard work, which the Pope and the Holy Witch knew only a very small number of people.

She therefore prefers Prince Dunkel to King Levios. And I was halfway through convinced that Lorna would be the same.

When Faith finishes praying, Lorna and I meet.

"A disaster born of the former Taren territory. Who do you think Priest Faith is?

There was not enough judgment material to affirm the answer. Faith expresses his thoughts with the premise that it is merely speculation.

When she heard that, Rona exhaled, relaxed and leaned against the sofa.

"... then your father will also be in trouble."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

My father is in trouble.

I wanted to go out and watch the Beast Crusade because I was sleepy and free, but I was cut off from "Wait in the castle". There is no island to attach.

I hear regular voices that it's time for the crusaders to clash. I mean, I haven't confronted the Beast yet. The sooner the beast details are communicated, the more likely it will be that I will be able to return to the Manor so quickly, so I want you to hit me early.

All I can do to get here is talk to Plume.

In the afternoon exchange party episode, I decided to have a sleepy conversation about the parts that were fine even if I talked here.

When I look at her with a blurry face, I'm sure she looks like this. Prume with a slight disturbance in the hair set was fresh and unusual.

"... and when I met with the Marquises of Bansibol,"

The current topic is about the fields that exist in the former Taren territories.

"The Marquis of Bansibol...."

The Marquis of Bansibol, one of the nobles of Roushna, is targeting the possession of the former Taren domain, where the ruler has disappeared. Probably the biggest reason is its proximity to Bansibol territory. The King's Capital is actively lobbying for territorial expansion opportunities that spring down to the eastern part of the continent without war. The Silopair family was also well appealed at the exchange meeting.

"Yes, as far as the Marquis of Bansibol knows, most of the former Taren territory is small. There's only one thing on the scale of a mature beast."

Before I left King's Landing, I memorized as much information as possible about the family and territory of the kingdom's nobles. However, if you remember everything up to the field, that's not the case. Too many.

When I heard of the appearance of the beast in the former Taren realm, I didn't come here much. I can hardly remember if the field product has characteristics, is very large in scale, or if there is something famous in mature beasts that have been ejected in the past, it is not a field with such characteristics. For that reason, I was very grateful to hear more about Plume from the Marquis of Bansibol.

"The biggest threat I've ever seen is rank four."

You can't remember a field the size of which is the fourth largest growth limit unless you're a field maniac.

Prume explains the characteristics of the mature beast that the field ejected in the past. Some fields may eject only beasts with certain characteristics, but the fields in the former Taren realm were not, and they were truly fields without mediocre characteristics.

It is only natural that the Marquis of Bansibol wants the former Taren domain. It would be easier to manage if only that much field existed, and you would like to get it whether it's true or false.

"You've been telling me a lot about it."

He said, "It's the most important thing for a nobleman to deal with a beast."

I'm familiar with the field situation, and I deserve to be the guardian of the land. "I am a Bansibol, a Bansibol Marquis. Absence of the lord, responsible governance. I would like to thank the Marquises of Bansibol, who are familiar with the former Taren realm, for their clean vote." There will be no electoral solution to the Rushna region's lack of governance, but there is no harm in appealing to the kingdom's nobles for their knowledge of guardianship.

"The greatest threat is number four. Looks like a lot of troops have moved in for that."

What a general Prince Dunkel. It is also a very gorgeous crusader with six other Levios family members, in short, the Lord's Ancestral soldiers. If he's in fifth place in the threat class, he could be killed instantly.

"If you escape to another territory without being under siege, or if you fail to intercept and enter King's Landing, you will be in trouble. Now that the kingdom's nobles are gathered, you can't do that."

It is true that Plume is right. As long as I can deal with it properly, I could be told, "Because of this, the beast Elseniors..." As a House of Levios, I would like to carry out a quick crusade. I want you to do your best for my sleep.

"Still, I feel like I'm losing a lot of people."

"It's about time for the Enemy Clash and the Beast to clash..." I've been told for a long time now. Not yet?

It's a plume voice that says it's sleepy ~.

The doors leading to the garden are wide open and can be seen from afar. The royal castle is built on a small hill, so you can see it quite far from where there is no garden tree.

I was able to see a part of Mt. Seika from where we were sitting. Even in the garden, there may be more places to see, but Prume and I have been ordered to wait in the castle by their respective guardians.

There are never many people left in the hall, as some of the Qordenze aristocrats have left time to go out. When I checked this out, it seemed that only the major townships of the Quordenze faction remained.

"Outside, it seems like a pleasant atmosphere..."

"That's right...."

The Marquis of Aterahan and others have secured the most spectacular spots in the garden, eating and drinking while waiting for the moment of a clash of crusaders.

The Atlantic aristocracy also imitates the boss, so the surrounding area seems to be a pleasant atmosphere of spectator mood. That's what a Quardistant nobleman said when he walked into and out of the hall. It's kind of like a group of old men watching baseball. "Whoa, whoa! You're scared to death! You're the Guardian!!" I imagined the nobles flying yaji, and I almost laughed alone. I feel like I've been sleeping too much and thinking in a strange direction.

The Demon Beast is coming to King's Landing from the foothills of Mount Seika, so the point of collision with the Crusaders will be in the mountains. It is almost impossible to see the battle directly from here. Nonetheless, it's interesting because everyone is looking forward to watching the game.

There are few opportunities to see other people's Demon Beast crusades, we are not responsible for ourselves, we are not indispensable for stories, and the biggest threat is about number four, so there is little personal danger. I see, excellent as a spectacle.

Looking at the distance with that in mind, I saw a flashing light between the mountains.

"Glowing?

"Glowing."

Apparently Plume also noticed the flash. I looked out at them as if they were together and stepped out a little.

Unlike Earth, there is only as much light as a star light at night on the continent of Elo, so I could immediately notice the light. Glittering and sparkling, it shines intermittently and repeatedly.

That must be the lighting magic that the Legios' cousins unleashed. By flashing the light at night, they are transmitting information to units at a distance. It's like a morse signal. The flashing light flies with the light that reaches the sky in a straight line. The Qordenze army has a different form of signaling, so I have no idea what it means. And from this position, we'll only be able to see some of the signals.

Either way, it seems that the moment of collision is finally approaching. Noise similar to the cheers of the nobles watching outside the castle arrived in the hall.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Oops, the roar was loud from the beginning, but the light signals were silent enough to overlap.

Because I foresaw the beginning of a crusade. Tension rises in the spectator zone, which was rapidly set up in the garden, while the harsh air fills the area. Speaking of spectators, those here know the weight of fighting beasts.

Marquis Aterahan, who was seated in the most overlooking seat, murmured as he watched the movement of the glowing light in the mountains.

"... you seem to have enclosed it well."

She does not know the meaning of the Levios army's light signals. I didn't see the beast's shadow. However, the interval and location of light signals suggest that the Crusaders are ready to intercept.

"I'm moving it."

Crowne, sitting next to the Marquis, also predicted the approximate movement of the Crusaders based on the activation of the lighting magic.

The crusaders, with Prince Dunkel as General, are a force that includes multiple ancestors. Crowne was paying great attention to how far the young prince could wave. There is no point reduction element in her assessment so far.

I thought you said it was equivalent to fourth place.

That's what it looks like.

The Marquis agrees with Crowne.

There is no sense of urgency in the formation seen when confronting the second and third mature beasts of the threat class… Marquis Aterahan affirms that and goes on.

"... but the Crusaders aren't feeling much of a threat so far.... instead of looking at it as number four, we might be right to deploy our troops so that we can deal with it without any problems even in number four. I have room for my team."

To the left.

In response to the Marquis' opinion, Crowne understood that it was likely to be enough.

They are not particularly intimate, but are still in conversation in the center of the spectator zone. As a result, the voice of the Marquis of Aterahan, whose voice was loud, reached the people around him well.

Many of the nobles in other houses listen to the commentary. After all, they rely only on the occasional light from the mountains to predict the threat of the Beast and evaluate the movement of the army. The narrative was filled with confidence and pride as the guardian of the earth.

Karmia and Novartis return as Marquis Aterahan and Crowne discuss the mob's generals and formation.

"Oh, what's wrong?

The young two were gathering nobles of their age to watch a crusade. It is impossible for the Marquis to wonder because it came back without doing anything.

Carmia had a slightly troubled look on her face.

"Princess Orsian over there....."

She came back before she got into trouble, and she's bluffing.

"Oh, well. I wonder what happened this time."

Novartis answered the Marquis's question.

"Someone told me that the beast came out. So we should all go and defeat them... If nobody's going, they're rubbing it, saying they're going to take it down by themselves."

"I'm not really an honest girl."

It was a crowne laughing broadly, but as Novartis, it wasn't a very welcoming story. Words have been exchanged several times at the next main meeting held just now. Perhaps that's why the Orsians flew all the manners to find him and invited him to join them in defeating the Beast. Prince Dunkel is on the defense team, so we should go and help the people we were with at the meeting earlier.

It is a word that is too straight. It was Novartis who somehow made excuses for the Orsians, but only a little dark remained in his heart. What Orsians say is true in a sense. Perhaps the Guardian of the earth would have to give priority to the Beast crusade above all else... such pure thoughts existed only slightly in him. And I was a little envious of the Orsians who could talk about it.

The Marquis said with as much restraint as possible.

"... that's what this is all about."

Karmia and Novartis have already reported the expectation that the Mirendorva family adopted Orsians of civilian origin. It also touched on the possibility that Orsians belonged not to the ancestors but to the ancestors. The qualities of Orsian magic that were felt by approaching at the meeting made her understand with sensation rather than reason that she was something other than the Lord's ancestors. If the inheritance is right, the beginner, like the blessed son, is the son born between the slave and the slave. It was a story that convinced me of the bad manners if I thought I was of civilian origin.

However, the presence of Quordenze Wilk, which crossed the ancestors of the legendary existence, becomes even more creepy. After the meeting, Carmia trembled remembering that she had danced with Wilk.

"But I think it's a good idea to defeat the Beast. If you live as a nobleman, if you're not that prepared, you're not going to get enough."

That's what the Marquis said when he heard the voice of the man in question. I'm arguing with Mirendorva Kirode and I'm about to pop out of the garden.

The Marquis, who wanted to watch the game quietly rather than see it... stood up and approached the Orsians to be careful. There are parts that I thought should confirm the power of the ancestors in the near future.

"Princess Orsian. It's not very selfish."

"... who?

Orcian looks suspicious at the sudden appearance of a giant woman.

"Marquis Aterahan....!

On the other hand, Kirode has no words in the appearance of the main Aterahan family. Although the upper and lower levels are sometimes clear between the next and current lords, for him, the Marquis of Aterahan, who has defeated the mature beast many times, secretly admired it.

With a boy staring at himself with sparkling eyes, the Marquis looks at Orsians.

"The Demon Beast Crusade is about cooperation in the army. I can't help it if you go alone."

Having been denied all her actions, she hesitates to object.

"I don't need an army. I can take it down by myself."

I'm sure you are.

In an unexpected affirmation, Orsians lose their words for a moment. The Marquis went on talking to the child.

"Do you want to defeat the Beast? Or do you want to protect people from beasts?

"Defeat the Beast to protect everyone, right?

I see, the Marquis nods. That was the answer she had expected.

"If you think so, wait here."

The Marquis continues before the Orsians reopen their mouths.

"Do you know where the Beast is now? You must know that the surrounding village needs to give instructions for evacuation when the beast is approaching. Next is the place to fight, where will you do less damage? What if the Beast accidentally attacked and ran away and escaped to a people in the middle of evacuation? Can you think of a safer way to hunt down the Beast?

It is a very simple question. Because it is a simple question, Orsians cannot answer and are stuck in words.

The Marquis continued to fold.

"They are known to the knights of Levios who have protected this land for so long."

"... if you tell me, I'll do it right"

"Did someone ask you for help?

"But...."

"Everyone is doing what they can to protect people from beasts. All you can do is not rush to the front line and fight, but stay out of the way."

……

The Marquis of Aterahan's sermons were easy to imagine for Orsians when compared to the words of those who were trying to stop by explaining the patronage, the responsibilities of the Levios family, the values of the nobility's independence, and the common sense of the nobility.

Do what you can, stick your face in an unfamiliar job and don't get in the way, speak up when you need help… because it was a familiar feeling for her growing up in a small village.

"Your desire to defeat the Beast is honorable and wonderful. But let us not forget that we need the cooperation of our surroundings to shake that power.... do you understand?

After a while of silence, the Orsians nodded small.

The words of the Marquis de Aterahan did not have a noble twist, but came from the heart. In the first place, the lord of the Aterahan family would not preach to the aristocrats of the Mirendorva family. But that's why the personality was easy to convey and the Orsians took it seriously.

"Yes, he's a good boy."

"But if the Beast escapes....."

Then the marquis turned his palm and shut his mouth to the Orsians, who were about to say so, that he would go out and destroy them.

"Not to mention, the Crusaders have already surrounded the Beast and blocked the way out.... oh?

Turning to the mountains, the Marquis read the next movement of the crusaders from the flashing of light.

"Look at that. The attack will begin now."

The moment Orcian and Kirode turned their eyes to the marquis's fingers, a large orange light shined over the mountain. Shortly afterwards, there is a roar that shakes the darkness of the night.

The first blow was fired.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Did you do it!?

Dunkel raised his voice across a magically fortified horse.

"Young man, please step back! Second shot coming soon!

"Okay! I'm pulling right now!

With the rope pulled, the prince tries to change the direction of the horse. The horse, which was half-excited by body strengthening magic, turned suddenly to jump when it changed direction with the momentum to decide the earth.

The prince looks up at the sky as he tries not to be swayed. To be precise, I saw a huge shadow there.

"Nail mole!

The code name for the assassination is the nail mole. As the untwisted name suggests, the figure and black hair resembled the mole. If anything, it's a huge nail shining purple. Every time you move forward, your nails will tear the earth apart and blow up a lot of vibrations.

"This way! Hurry!!

Guided by multiple warriors, Dunkel leaves the front lines.

The sudden drop in his body's magic power made him feel a little sick. But at the same time, I also remembered a little pleasure in releasing the magic I kneaded. If it weren't for the Beast Crusade, we wouldn't be able to cast attack magic of this magnitude.

"Second shot, coming out!!!

When the lighting magic signal and the loudspeaker magic command echoed, the explosion sounded again in the area.

A family member of the Levios family who joined the Crusaders with Dunkel unleashed the magic of attacking the ancestors. Dunkel puts his hand to his ear and goes over the roar. Even with the fathers of the LORD, what is noisy is noisy. Vibrations of murderous sounds vibrated violently all surrounding objects.

The third shot lasts as soon as the second shot is finished. In just a few minutes, a total of five attack magic hit the nail mole.

"I managed to bump into it before it was recognized. I hope this first shot is a decision."

One of the warriors said while checking the damage of the nail mole.

Mature Magic Beasts are very tough. Instead of resisting the slave ancestors or attacking their ancestors magically, they simply try to fulfill their purpose. Detect the presence of the Lord's ancestors with demonic powers, or recognize the "enemy" for the first time under the Lord's ancestor-class attack magic.

As with this nail mole, most of the Lord's ancestor's magical attacks are fired at no-guard for the first time. It could be said that the Beast Crusade was real after the first shooting.

This time, seven ancestors have joined the crusaders. The reason for this was simple and clear, because it was a plan to launch a simultaneous attack and defeat it all at once while the Beast was alert. If a mature Demon Beast ranked fifth in the Threat Class is the opponent, it is highly likely to cause fatal damage.

"... what do you think?

The warriors watching Dunkel's magic in preparation for the next attack leak a bitter voice.

"Unfortunately, the outcome is much lower than expected."

"It could be a durable, specialized beast."

"... no, I can't see the corrosive reaction of the demonic power. Not durable, not layered?

Much less damage than expected. It was particularly felt by those who were experienced in beast warfare.

"What do you mean?

A knight serving as a lieutenant answers Dunkel's questions.

"As you may know, the demonic power that fills the body of the beast is weak to magic. Since magic has the effect of destroying demonic powers, it is effective to crush as many magic powers as possible at once."

A Magic Beast deals far more damage when it hits a hundred attacks than when it hits 10. It was common knowledge of the Beast Crusade, and of course Dunkel knew it. That's why I've been practicing my magic since I left the castle to hit the biggest blow.

"Oh, I know that. It's probably a layered form, with some layers of demonic power."

"Yes, even with magic, the corrosion reaction will stop at the surface layer and may not reach the next layer."

"So did the nail mole? I heard that Scaled Demon Beasts sometimes have that kind of trait...."

"It's not uncommon for a beast's traits not to match its appearance."

But the second lieutenant's knight said nothing.

"... the corrosion reaction didn't stop, it didn't. I looked like that."

Without waiting for Dunkel to respond, the knight shouted at the samurai.

Send a message to all squads! If there's a report on the characteristics of the nail mole, get it up there right away! Especially the corrosion immediately after the attack!

Ha!

Several samurai officers ran to the message. The knight smiled at the worried prince.

"Rest assured, young man. Characteristics are unknown, but as far as the movement has been concerned, the nail mole is probably the fifth most threatening class. Slightly injured than expected, but also attacked. I will not lose with this number."

"... I see. Oh, it's okay."

"Unfortunately, it wasn't fully sealed with the first shot. Now, this is the real beast battle. Let's retighten our minds."

If attacked by the Lord's Ancestral class, any Demon Beast will transition to a state of imminent combat. The attack returns with full demonic power, and now it's time for the Beast Battle.

After being attacked, the nail mole stopped moving forward and turned her short hair upside down, showing anger.

"Please be careful. There will probably be a demonic attack after this."

Unpleasant sounds of jiggling, jiggling, jiggling and a lot of metal rubbing together echo around you. Black, short hair covering the surface of the nail mole moves without the wind, resulting in unpleasant noise. Some of the soldiers at the scene looked at the discord.

"A demonic attack that fires hair? Tell them to be vigilant! That hair is thicker than a spear."

Some samurai have participated in a similar crusade against beasts. The officers around Dunkel hurried to give instructions, but the units were already aware of the same and were already ready to defend themselves.

After that, the nail mole should use its demonic powers to blow out hair at high speed. Be careful not only of the fast hair that is released directly beside you, but also of the hair that is launched into the sky and falls. At that time, almost all of the ancestors at the scene were sharpening their nerves to the demonic power response that the nail mole would show.

... that's why the discomfort was shared almost simultaneously.

"Demonic power!? No, no!!

At the same time as a samurai screams, short black hair is fired from the entire body of the nail mole.

Short hairs are huge, but each one is thicker than a spear. Dark, invisible black hair pierced through the trees of the forest, penetrated the unlucky crusaders' soldiers, and the body hair launched high in the sky poured into the forest over time, causing widespread damage. It is an attack similar to the simultaneous shooting of a bow.

The samurai, who avoided the attack successfully, fell from the sky and pierced the ground, grabbing it.

"Why...!?

The remnants of the energy you feel from your hair, it's not a demonic power.

"Why does the Magic Beast have magic!?

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Curse Ghanaian Lynn crashed with the Levios Crusaders."

The frontline is showing confusion in Ghanaian Lynch's counter-attack. The terrorist Tristan man kept reporting briefly.

"Let's do it. It is not difficult to defeat Ghanaian Lynn with their strength. But it shouldn't be easy. I wonder if there's a way to attack with chaos...."

"No, that's useless. As expected, the crusader leader is not Levios Lugaine. Then you don't have to fight here now. We will only carry out the original plan."

The terrorist Tristan woman rejects the man's proposal. If we aim for the Enemy here, we will be able to get a fair amount of results, but it is not essential for them.

It's because the man understands it that he immediately retreats. I just jumped up and talked before I had a chance to kill a nobleman.

"Fortunately, the Levios family hasn't noticed this temporary base yet. We secretly aspire to King's Landing."

Ha.

The woman went to the curtain of her boss, Efial, to make a report.

Efial was wearing combat armor. Due to the shortage of personnel, the woman also starts to help change the clothes while reporting.

"... the crusaders have too much power. I can only say this is stupid because it's to protect my men. If the defenses of King's Landing were to diminish, it would be the end of the fall."

To the woman's opinion, Efial replies while confirming the comfort of the armor.

"They are nobles, but they are just wise landlords after all. The comparison of vanity looks much more pleasant."

That said, Efial confirms the magic in her body. She had activated magic for a long time to lure Ghanaian phosphorus, but determined that it would not affect her next operation.

"... if we show them the threat, they'll just stay home. I forgot to speak up about the invasion of the Holy City because I didn't know the fear."

Efial smiled at the unity of the nobles. She doesn't think there will be any decent retaliation for attacking the nobles. To stop the nobility's feet, it is most effective to instigate fear inside… It was oddly similar to Quoldenze Luxe's thought that Cynthia's accusation was one of the cards.

"The curse, Ghanaian Lynn, will show his strength, and the Crusaders will burn their hands. That's why you won't notice another threat until just before."

"Yes"

Hmm, you've kept me waiting.

When armed as a general of the Holy Army, Efial stepped out.

When she was guiding Ghanaian Lin, she was dressed as light as possible. But now the opponent is a nobleman and cannot dress up as it is. Dressing up was necessary to show readiness.

Curse Kramitis next.

Efial's faint eyes reflected the Castle of Levios rising beyond the mountain.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The knights of Levios were bewildered by the words of the message that ran into the castle.

In the previous report, it was speculated that the mature beast appeared fifth in the threat class and fourth at most. Contaminated or diffused, it's a challenge, but the crusaders have enough power to twist it down. Until a while ago, the castle had a relatively calm atmosphere.

"Stupid! I've never heard of a magical beast attacking."

Everyone who received the report thought the same thing. The same is true of the army officers who served as messengers. As he made his report, he thought this might be a bad dream.

"You're right. But I'm definitely under magic attack."

Demon Beasts have an energy called demonic power, and use this demonic power to cause various disasters. It spreads pollution on the earth, launches a variety of attacks similar to magic, and harms humanity.

It is an energy with properties similar to the magic of man, but the two were clearly distinguished.

"I'm under magic attack... so the attacker has magic remnants?

"Yes! I am checking them with healing magic inhibitors, post-treatment physical impairments, and multiple attacked soldiers."

In a desperate report, one of the civilians laid his hand on his forehead and looked up at the ceiling.

The reason the ancestors don't want to fight each other is because they fear physical impairment that will remain after a magical attack. Multiple explosions of malicious attack magic can cause chronic pain, loss of physical ability, total loss, internal diseases, and so on.

Meanwhile, Demonic Beast attacks have no such effect. The healing magic will basically restore the wound. So the nobles can come to the Beast Crusade without hesitation. He may die, but there are no sequelae left.

The most terrifying thing for the nobles of the world's healthy body is to live in an unhealthy state.

"A beast with the ability to inflict magical remnants....."

It is an infinitely horrible beast to the nobles.

"No, I'm guessing it's a magical beast."

The Warrior of the Message explains that the damage of the first shot was much less than expected.

"So, what, because the nail mole has magic, there was no corrosive reaction to the demonic power?"

Ha.

If the demonic power fills your body, you become weak to magic. Paradoxically, the nail mole is not filled with demonic power. The hypothesis was persuasive because of its magical attacks.

If attacked, there will be magic residues and you will not be able to punch through weaknesses. Everyone is about to sigh when it comes to the worst and worst. Of course, because they are parties, such an attitude is not possible.

"Unconfirmed, but I think there is a demonic power deep inside the nail mole. If the attack reaches that far... It depends on how thick the magic layer is....."

Enemy Crusaders must attack mature Magic Beasts many times. It is a very dangerous battle.

"What's the decision on the scene?

"Even if it is a demonic beast with the characteristics I just reported... no, it has magic, so I will call it power here, but if the total amount of power is about fifth in the threat class, it is judged likely that it can be crushed by the next simultaneous attack. Therefore, the main ancestors have temporarily retreated and the rest have interrupted the progress of the nail mole until a magic amount comparable to the size of the first shot has been accumulated."

It is dangerous to keep fighting halfway. The least sacrifice is how to stop at the expense of soldiers, fully prepare the attack system, and defeat them all at once… The knights on the ground made that decision.

For those who serve the nobles, the greatest priority is the ancestors of the LORD. It is an inevitable sacrifice for ordinary soldiers, samurai officers, and knights to suffer from magical debris.

"Hmm, so there's no problem. But for the next simultaneous attack, the young man....."

I'm not participating.

"Okay."

We can't just let the prince get hurt this time. Priority is also present in the Lord. If he is attacked badly and remains physically disabled, it will also be a problem for the future of the Levios family.

"I will report to Milord.... I can't predict how many soldiers I'll need. Hurry and arrange it so that it can be sent as soon as a request is made."

Ha!

The samurai and the civilians dispersed on instructions.

Knight Levios thought as he walked down the hallway fast.

The Beast Crusade started with the Aterahan family, and many nobles are watching. I almost read the military movements before the clash, but it has already been communicated that the front lines are confused and starting delays.

I stepped into the night club to go under my husband. Then the air was filled with a sense of urgency.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The air has obviously changed.

It seems that the mob has not fought very well. I have also heard voices that they have begun an inexplicable retreat and are working on delays to disrupt the progress of the Beast. Well, this is all speculation. We have not received any additional reports from House Levios.

Generally speaking, it is creepy for people to know the position of the army and the contents of their actions simply by the flashing of distant visible light. I have no idea.

I think the reason for the change in air is first and foremost the Marquis de Aterahan.

It seems that he has broken through his spare commentary and has begun to show his vigilance openly. You said that the Enemy Clan was doing something mysterious. And as time went on, the number of samurai aristocracy that aligned with it grew, so the expectation that there had been an incident on the front line began to whisper almost like definitive information.

However, the tone of tension has become darker, but whether it has become panic or not is not so.

It was a little noisy for a while, but it soon subsided with the drink of the Marquis de Aterahan. The Marquis, who noticed the anomaly before anyone else, solemnly declared that the situation was not yet in a hurry, so he regained calm on the spot.... I don't think so, but it's like a match pump.

In this tension, I thought I might lose the chance to continue talking with my father, but it became an environment where it was easy to talk about unexpected things.

Until then, my father was concerned about the situation, but knowing about the anomalies on the front line had culminated in a level of vigilance, so he waited right next to me. Thanks to this, Prume has also gone to Count Silopeia.

More and more Quordenze nobles have moved outdoors to get a glimpse of the current state of the mob. It's more about gathering information than watching a match. Thanks to this, there were even fewer nobles left in the hall. Around them are all the aristocracy that the Quordenze family trusts deeply.

"Wilk, what's the magic of awakening?

I just did.

My father approached me with an amazing figure, so I had to activate it.

Now I can't sleep even if I want to sleep for a while. The awakening magic that blows your drowsiness is useful, but it stays awake for a few days because of some ridiculous specs that cannot be unlocked once activated. To be honest, I didn't want to use it if possible because I was very stressed mentally.

"... is the reason your father is so vigilant that Spiazeike is involved?

Speak with a voice that you can't hear. Only trusted aristocrats remain in the hall, so there will be no problem if you don't hear them, but just in case.

I'm not talking about it right now... and I didn't get back to you. My father looked around and made sure he was sufficiently vigilant and pointed his finger towards me.

"... you know the Salif mess."

It was just a confirmation.

Of course I know that. It was an incident that took place in the capital of the Zinkerun Empire, the Imperial Salif, 20 years ago.

"A massive rebellion, united by the remnants of the aristocracy destroyed by Emperor Zinkerwin and Emperor Arginis, right?... that my uncle is dead."

From that point of view, it can be described as a typical mukade leg that is not particularly unusual, and a destructive activity by the remnants of a lost noble family. However, it seems that this battle was the final battle for the remnants. At the end of this upheaval, in the Zinkerwin Empire, there was one division between the crusades of the remaining nobles. The long-standing resistance that had existed since before the founding of the country was wiped out.

"That's right. Niisama stayed in the Imperial Capital at the time of this upheaval....."

It is also said that the next lord of the imperial aristocracy, the Duke of Qordenze, Qordenze Gardakul, was showing his face in the Imperial Capital. She took her newly married wife and went to see Emperor Arginis.

My uncle seems to have had a very close relationship with Emperor Arginis, so I wonder if it's a sense of going to play.

... hmm?

"Did you go to the Imperial Capital while you were pregnant?

This uncle's wife is probably the wife from the Silopair family. They say she died with her uncle, but they also say she was pregnant at the time.

Pregnant ancestors have unstable magic output. Wouldn't it be too reckless to go to other territories at such a time?

"... my stay in the Imperial Capital lasted several months."

"Ah...."

I see, I got pregnant when I had sex with my new wife during my stay in the Imperial Capital. She didn't go out while she was pregnant, but she got pregnant on the go. You can't go around raping the citizens of the Imperial Capital, can you be the maid and new wife of the Qordenze family?

I don't think I'm going to tell you much about my uncle's lower body now, and my father brought it back to the case.

"The remnants of the offensive who were ready to die were fierce and the empire was in great confusion. I managed to push them back in the Imperial Defense Battle, but the soldiers were drained."

It was already about thirty years since the establishment of the Empire. Nobody expected that the remnants would be so powerful, and that the remnants from all over the world would join hands.

Even the fall of the Imperial Capital was temporarily endangered, but the Arginian Emperor himself took the lead and destroyed the rebels with courage and guts. My uncle fought courageously with the Emperor. Looks like he wasn't just a guy swinging his dick around.

"If there were a next offensive, the Imperial Capital would no longer be able to endure it. Niisama and her sister-in-law decided to bring reinforcements back from Qordenze....."

From what my father said, I'm sure my uncle decided that the Empire Capital won't last much longer.

If the Imperial Capital is safe, just wait there and wait for grandfather and grandmother reinforcements to come from Qordenze. Especially since I have a heavy wife. Failure to choose it is likely that the situation was so pressing. In fact, Emperor Arguinis died later due to the wounds caused by this Salif riot. There must have been an unimaginable battle.

"Which way did you try to get home from the Imperial City?

Think of a map in your brain. When I decided to return from the Imperial Capital to the then Qordenze territory, there were two main routes. The southern route through the former Voistra territory and the northern route through the noble areas of the eastern Empire.

"North side.... well, Wilk didn't even tell me about oniisama's end."

I've heard a lot about him being killed in battle, assassinated, murdered, but I don't know how he was killed.

I don't know, if I were a normal, pure kid, I'd say, "Hey, why did your uncle die? How did you die? I think I could have listened insensitive. But I was an adult in many ways in my head, so it was difficult to touch such a part. I don't want to honestly touch on sensitive topics among families.

From my father's point of view, it may have seemed unnatural to me not to even say such a simple question.

"When you came to King's Landing, you went through several tunnels. Remember that time I was careful?

"Yes, do not enter the tunnel in a queue..."

I remember this very well because it was impressive.

At the entrance of the tunnel, Father made his mouth sour and instructed him to pass separately by a certain number of people. It was a matter of deciding how many carriages to enter at once, so I remember it took a long time for everyone to get through.

When I asked the samurai why they did that, they gave me an extremely straightforward answer that if they smashed the tunnel, they would die. Certainly, no matter how many ancestors they crushed near the center of the tunnel, they would still die.

And if you say so, you can guess. Asked if there were many tunnels on the north route, my father agreed.

"Everything is judged by the situation after it's over. Niisama and her sister-in-law were taking Qordenze's soldiers through one of the tunnels. With a few samurai guarding the entrance and exit. Then, in the middle of the tunnel, the rebels appeared. The tunnels, niisama....."

... that's a good timing again.

"The remnants show that the warriors who were watching the front and back of the tunnel were under attack by the Lord's Ancestral Class."

And the rebels of the Lord's ancestors came from both sides? Finally, it is suspicious.

"Sometimes the main street, the raid was immediately discovered by the landlord.... but it was too late."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"We have been captured by the Levios soldiers.... it's too late, I can't seal my mouth."

A single ancestor, multiple ancestors, and enormous presence are advancing through the forest streets at a tremendous speed.

Efial laughed at the report of the terrorist Tristan man as he mocked himself.

"Kukuku, you've underestimated the Levios family. I didn't know they'd find us before dawn."

The man has a bitter expression in his voice.

"I'm sorry...!

However, as far as Efial was concerned, I thought it was already at the point.

It has been a long time since we entered the road leading to King's Landing. There is no doubt that we are travelling quite a distance. It was highly likely that Kramitis would storm King's Landing once the magic of Witchbeast Guidance had been broken.

And fortunately for her, only Kramitis was discovered this time. That would have no effect on the execution of the operation.

"There's no way. But at this distance, we'll get it back. Get as close to King's Landing as possible before the Levios troops get close. You're in position first."

"... hah!

When the man answered, he went off the street and into the forest. Following that, his subordinate grandfather continued.

The only remaining Terrorist woman ran off the street and approached Efial.

"By the time we cross the next hill, it will be dawn."

Efial stands ready to give the woman the information she needs most.

She returned without loosening her running legs.

"Cut off the chlamitis at sunrise."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The Orsians, who wanted to observe the morning sun, were walking alone in the garden of the royal castle.

The atmosphere in the castle prevented her from sleeping, and she wandered with a blurry look.

"It's almost morning....."

She feels the dawn is approaching because of the faint sound of the birds in the distance and the scent of the sky and the wind tickling her nostrils that begin to color the dark blue and orange gradually. She liked this quiet, refreshing time, beginning of the morning and beginning of the day.

I had no intention of watching a beast crusade with other nobles. I'm just watching the flashing light from time to time, and I don't know what's going on from her, and I didn't find anything interesting to watch. Without the Marquis of Aterahan's sermon, he would have jumped out of the royal castle right away.

She is getting out of the room because she is gossiped about being with Grand Duke Kirode and Grand Duke Mirendorva. Running away from them is familiar.

The Orsians moved away from the noble places so that they could not be found by the humans of Mirendorva. As she wandered, she reached the garden on the west side of the royal castle. Most nobles gather southwest of King's Landing in a position where they can see the battle against the claw mole, so there's no one around here.

"Hah......"

Feeling the slight warmth of the sunrise starting from behind, she looks away.

"Hmm....? Whatever....."

An enormous presence that sparkled in the morning sun approached the King's City.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

It seems that the rebels approaching the Imperial Capital were crushed and the disturbances gathered about a month later.

"The imperial rebellion was led by a noble family based in the western part of the Empire... a family that was once destroyed by Emperor Zinkerfeng and survived there. Some people think he was the leader of the Salif riots."

It was clear from the tone that my father was an unthinkable faction. In the first place, it wasn't the knight or the civilian who taught me when I was a kid that was the main culprit in the Salif riots.

"The remnants of the Alpeo region are the true center."

"Yes, it is."

My father nods with satisfaction.

The central authority of the Zinc 'en Empire exists in such a way as to swallow up the entire Alpeo region. The Imperial Salif was located in the heart of Alpeo, also known as the Umbrella.

"In investigating the broken tunnels, Mother and Father said in unison that the rebels who attacked Niisama must be the nobles of Alpeo."

"Your grandmother and grandfather?... that's credible."

The greatest mountain in the founding story of Emperor Zinkaen is the Alpeo regional offensive strategy, the demise of the Principality of Alpeo. Not only the young Emperor Zinker En, but also his grandmother Cassia and his grandfather Garfis are participating in this battle. Beyond that, it is a battle in which the main characters who appeared before it come together, so it is very exciting in theatre and so on.

That's why grandmother and grandfather are familiar with the way of fighting and habits of the nobility of Alpeo. Because it is a party that has been destroyed anyway.

"The Principality of Alpeo was formerly hostile to the kingdom of Voistra before Emperor Zinkaen, but on the verge of extinction, he was seeking cooperation. That's why I've long suspected that the remnants of Alpeo are hiding in the Kingdom of Voistra, the Spiazeikes."

If Emperor Zinkaen destroys the Principality of Alpeo, it is more obvious than seeing fire that the kingdom of Voistra will be ravaged next. It is only natural that the two countries should try to join hands. However, since the Principality of Alpeo was not so united as to be called a nation, no alliance was forged.

"In the first place, the sabotage carried out by the Salif riots was too skillful. Had it not been for the guidance of those familiar with the Alpeo region, it would not have been devastating."

"You mean there was no evidence?

"That's right. The rebels who attacked my brother fled the neighborhood and were finally crushed by the Spiazeike.... the evidence has been destroyed."

I don't think that's just a lie. But if you look at the examples of the past, the Spiazeike family is so much a designer's house that you really think you can do it.

Though the kingdom of Voistra surrendered to Emperor Zinkaen, I think one day we will strike back and bring him back to life. There is no discomfort in embracing the remnants of the Alpeo nobility in preparation for the day and considering the inscriptions of Salif's disturbance. And when I saw the turmoil in the Imperial Capital fail, I changed my policy and set my sights on the disturbing Quordenze family, and used my tokens to plan an attack. When it succeeds, it crushes the token to hide all evidence...

I'm sure the Spierzeike would do this much because they spent 13 years at the Quordenze house. There was a soil in me that was very naturally receptive to Spiazeike's bad balls theory.

"... without the collapse of Emperor Arginis, we might have been able to investigate by the Emperor's might..."

Naturally, my grandmother and grandfather insisted that everything was a plot by the Spiazeikes and asked for a thorough investigation. But with the death of Emperor Arguinis and the subsequent political struggle over the empire, the investigation never progressed.

Thus, the Quoldenze family, which cut through the Empire, approached the kingdom of Levios and proceeded to war with the Spiazeikes....

"I see a lot.... may I ask you one question? Why is my father alert to the situation? Because the Duke of Spiazeike is in King's Landing?

The kingdom of Levios is shaken by the prestige of the royal family, but the remnants of the nobility that perished during the war have already been eliminated. There should be no rebellion or anything now. I don't know why my father is so vigilant right now.

"The beginning of Salif's turmoil was similar to what it is now."

At that time, a big strange noise came from the outside.

It seems that some time ago the sun was rising, and the sky that looks far away is faded. I wonder what happened when I thought so.

It's a beast.

I heard that voice.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Curse Kramitis.

If Wilk expressed it, it would be called a clear dancing mushroom. It can be seen that the body is transparent when illuminated by the sun.

The giant body was already approaching a visible distance from the citizens of King's Landing, and the city was in a state of commotion.

In King Levios, the memories of Elseniors the Magic Beast are still new. Citizens are in a state of panic in the middle of seeing the mature Magic Beast approaching the present day of the city, and the guard Levios soldiers were in a hurry to suppress it.

"Second Beast, enter the city! Hurry up and form a mob!

In the Command of the Levios army, the sudden appearance of the Curse Kramitis... was being pursued against the Second Beast.

The second beast appeared before dawn and received a message. There is no denying that there was such an idea. Since there was only one field of mature Magic Beast growing in the former Taren realm, it was completely unexpected that two appeared simultaneously.

"Have you heard from Karahanaso?!

"Not yet!

We have already sent requests for reinforcements to the nearby city of Karahanaso and the city of Corbovia, the true home of the Levios family. The King's defenses are greatly weakened by the formation of a crusader here to fight the First Demon Beast and the Claw Mogras. It was imperative to call for reinforcements from the outside in preparation for a long battle.

"I report! You have confirmed that you are a second Magic Beast, a mature Magic Beast! It is thought to be the same type as the First Demon Beast Claw Mole!! The total amount of power is estimated to be equivalent to the fourth largest threat class!!

One of the cadre officers slammed the wall into a message that ran into the command room.

Even though I was burning my fingernail mole, I came here and there was a threat on top of it. The situation persists indefinitely.

"What happened to the First Demon Beast!?

"The First Demon Beast, the Nail Mole, has sustained considerable damage in his second total attack, but it still needs to be destroyed!

"Send another beacon to the area! Leave only the minimum number of men in the First Beast and return all the rest to King's Landing! Enemy of the Second Beast is our top priority!!

Reports indicate that although the nail mole was not fatal, it did considerable damage. Then we should dedicate ourselves to stopping and prioritize the second beast approaching King's Landing. After all, the total amount of power is equivalent to fourth place, and it is almost certain that it is more difficult to crush than nail moles.

"I'll send the advance troops first. Buy yourself some time before the Lord's Patriarch is ready!

Then an old woman came to Command. She is an old woman who also serves as vice president of the Aoji Hall and head of the library.

The samurai stared not at the loose costumes the old woman wore on a daily basis, but at the armor of the beast.

"I will join the advance party. The second beast is already on the lookout."

Knight Levios tries to apologize and thank the old woman for her offer. But the old woman put it to rest with her hands. I don't have time to do such a thing right now.

"... the second beast is also a magical possession type. Be careful when attacking, there are magic residues."

"Oh, it's okay. I'm already a good year, so I should live before the effects of the magic residue. Now, now, if you have time for me to care, please excite me. Protect this peaceful city created by your grandfather's bloody thoughts.... that's the knight of Levios, isn't it?

And the old woman smiled kindly.

"I don't know where you are right now, but just say hello to Gain."

It was the name of the present king Levios when he was a child.

She ignored all the magical debris and was prepared to die and fight on the front lines... all those present understood and respected silently.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

A terrorist Tristan woman saw an advance party headed for the front line.

On the east side of the King's Landing, Ephial and his warriors, who had moved in the opposite direction to the direction of Kramitis, were concentrating their minds in preparation for the next phase.

"... finally. An advance squad of rushing crusaders collides with the curse Kramitis."

The woman tells nearly twenty warriors. Only High Priest Efial and his subordinates will participate in the final phase of the operation.

The warriors look silently and confirm their determination with each other.

His eyes were stained with fanatical thoughts about Ephial and the High Priest Terrotris, who was not here.

When the woman saw the situation, she smiled satisfactorily. And when he stared at his drunk boss, he shouted as if he were singing.

"Comrade Efial, give us strength. Please give me the power to defeat the bad guys."

In front of Ephial, who turned his back on the sun, the woman and the warriors sat down on their knees.

Looking down at him, Efial opened his hands and rose high.

"My sword, let's fight together. Our enemies are on the other side. Oh, the Great Spirit of the Sun, Wartent Therma, give us strength."

And she puts in heaven the treasure she took out of her parents' house.

The clear jewel shined through the light of the sun, dropping a rainbow shadow.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The second beast appearing near King's Landing seems to have a clear body.

It is not so unusual for a mature beast to have a body like a walnut cake sold in jellyfish, gel, or supermarkets. The trouble is that at night you can barely see. When you receive sunlight, it reflects light unnaturally, so "Ah! There's a strange invisible guy! As soon as the sun goes down, it really doesn't look like air. For this reason, it is said to be a beast with concealment ability.

It is often said that discovery was delayed when this type appeared in the middle of the night in a territory with few demon power detectors, and it became catastrophic when I noticed it.

House Levios will have a lot of demon power detectors. However, many people may have participated in the first appearance of the Warcraft battle, and there may have been holes in the vigilance net of demonic power.

Either way, the impending imminence of the mature Demon Beast in the King's Capital has made the castle very noisy. I'm sure the castle will make more noise.

The second beast... they call it the second beast, but there's a wall in the direction you're approaching, so I can't see it. It seems to be coming pretty close, so I wanted to see it anyway.

The General of the Crusaders fighting the Second Witch Beast was decided by Levios Lugaine, King Levios.

King Levios remained a control over the kingdom's nobility, but now that the Second Magic Beast has appeared, he can't say such a long story.

After that, I will say hello in front of the kingdom's nobles and then go to the crusade. I wanted to tell you to come and defeat the Beast, but as a king, I'm not very dressed to go and fight butterflies. This kind of performance is important, but it is troublesome.

"The security in the castle is very poor. Probably outside the castle, all over King's Landing.... Wilk. Never lose your mind."

And my father's vigilance level exceeded 100% to 120%. He keeps telling me about the escape route in case of an attack, where to meet, what the attacking enemy will do and how to deal with it, and how to join the Qordenze army officers.

However, such vague attention is troublesome. I want specific examples.

"What do you think is coming? It's easier to move if you tell me that first."

"... the real fear is malicious beyond assumptions. Like Salif's turmoil."

In short, predictable raids are easy to deal with. Surif's turmoil was completely unexpected, and he became like a mature beast that was attacked by a massive attack at Nogard's place, causing his initial delay and increased damage. My father wants me to always be prepared for any unexpected raids.

... that's the weariest thing I've ever seen.

"This is the only time. It's not that long."

"... okay."

I can't sleep anyway, and I can't help it.

And then my father looked at me and he said, "Don't you see? And I said,

I'm in the royal castle, and now it's the most dangerous.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Enemy squads are gathering at the Imperial Castle. I thought I'd keep fighting, but I didn't think so."

Efial smiled faintly at the report. Although not as expected, it can be dealt with in one of several assumed patterns. There are no changes to the plan.

Terrorist women are ordered by their superiors to tell the warriors the name of the operation to be used in the final phase. Despite being the toughest operation, their expressions did not shake.

Satisfied with his appearance, Efial gave words to each warrior.

"Don't be late, but never too soon. Opportunity is once and for a moment."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

For a moment, I felt a strong malice coming from somewhere.

Probably because of your nerves. I think knowing what my father's vigilance meant meant meant meant, and I was caught and wasted my vigilance.

"Is that the second beast..."

Coming out of the garden, I look at the distant beast with my father.

Its presence sparkling in the morning sun looked like a dancing mushroom. I heard it was a clear body, but when I looked at it, the skin was poisonous green. There may be circumstances such as discoloration during the daytime, or the alert colour being stained by an advance assailant attack.

"Wilk"

"Yes"

I stopped looking and I heard the word behind it, so I turned back to the front. There was the Rapidly Formed Second Demon Crusader and King Levios, who was fully armed against the Demon Beast.

King Levios, the host, goes out to greet the kingdom's nobles.

However, it was not known beforehand that there was a greeting. The Knights of Levios showed me how to gather outdoors to explain the details of the beast that appeared in the Levios realm.

That's why the Quoldenze family can't just leave it behind and take it inside the castle, so I came outside.

Since there are also independent aristocracy who participated in the evening party, the number of people gathered is higher than the opening ceremony of Wang Metropolitan Socialism.

The moment King Levios turned his back on the seemingly distant second beast, he was about to begin his speech.

The uncomfortable killing of the skin dyed the entire garden.

Shortly afterwards, several shadows jumped in, as if it were a sign of a start.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Terrorist warriors recall their role in a confusing consciousness.

A murderous threat.... Operation commenced...

The warrior moves forward in the sense that the blood is boiling and the brain melts with acid.

"Kill the nobles... my curse, my curse, oh...!!

The warrior was already losing sight of who he was.

The only inscription is a sense of mission to kill a nobleman.

There were many nobles in front of the warriors.

The presence to be killed was within reach of his attack.

Warriors shook their magic to activate Attack Magic, whilst laughing loudly.

A mighty force that can never be handled by the body of your ancestors rises to the body of a warrior.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Suddenly the attackers began attacking the nobles gathered in the garden.

The intense attack magic that triggers the explosion renders the surrounding area invisible with explosion flames and dust.

It is not the magic of the ancestors, it is the power of the Lord's ancestors.

"Father!"

"Wilk, back off!

Sometimes my father was on guard, and the Qordenze aristocrats were in a relatively vulnerable position to retreat.

Thanks to this, neither my father nor the Silhouettes were able to avoid a direct explosion. When I fill my body with magic, I immediately activate Physical Reinforcement Magic.

"Take a visual distance!!

The moment I heard my father's voice, an intense headache struck me, like a blow to the back of my head.

... like this.

I was unconsciously activating detection magic. Because I wanted to know how many enemies there were and where they were.

Detection magic can sense the presence of magic like radar, but if there are too many, you will be shocked by feedback.

Now that I'm in the royal castle, it's the most dangerous.

Because there are too many ancestors, and the field of view is crushed by detection magic.

"Gu...!

If I hadn't listened to this story beforehand, I might have fallen to the ground. Even though it was painful to activate it spontaneously, the mental shock when activated unconsciously with fear increased and was terrible. I want to vomit.

You did the same thing, and there are fallen kingdom nobles around you.

I think the assailant was targeting the area in front of the mob.

"Aim for the crusaders? King Levios!?

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Excellent work, comrades...!

Efial rejoices at the results of the advance suicide bombers. The warriors who gained temporary power through forbidden magic successfully disrupted the field and reduced Levios' troops. She just rushes through the dusty garden. The Lord of the Hate House Levios is ahead.

Efial's special detection magic kept catching the subject.

Neither night nor dusty gardens will be lost.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

The dust is terrible and I can't see anything.

There's nothing I can do about it because the magic of detection doesn't work.

I invited my father, Prume, and Count Silopeia nearby to accumulate magic so that enemies could attack whenever they jumped in.

But the raider's next attack will not fly.

One second and one second are very long in tight tension.

No matter how long you wait, the next one won't come.

The dust settles down a little, and you can see the surroundings gradually.

I wonder what happened to King Levios in the Crusaders.

When I turned my eyes on you, someone who looked like a fully armed assailant was about to be crushed by the crusaders.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And Ephial's fierce sword pierced King Levios.
