The Trinian army has begun marching toward this town.
"... what?
Whose mouth did it spill out?
Only the voice that responded to Sarah's words stuck in the conference room.
The meeting between Sarah and the members present is already over, and no one is surprised at the presence of the young woman who suddenly appeared.
But it wasn't the presence of Sarah that was confusing everyone's thoughts right now, but the unexpected content that came out of her mouth.
It was Ardis who first took me back.
"When did you say you started marching?
"About an hour ago.Approximately a thousand soldiers have left the town of Tria, heading west.This town must be the target. "
"No, no, how do you know what just happened?
It was Moore who then asked the question, but the answer to the question was also unclear to the Ardis.
My daughters let me know.
"Another daughter."
"You had a daughter?
Aldis and Moore react to the unexpected answer.
Ardis wrinkles between his eyebrows, Moore turns her eyes to unexpected answers.
"Doesn't matter now, does it?Fight or run, we only have ten days. "
Minerva posed another question to Sarah to distract herself.
"Is it possible to reinforce a monarchy against a coalition of cities?
"Of course, it's possible.I don't think we'll need reinforcements for the monarchy anymore. "
Certainly, Sarah is right.
Together with the 10,000 soldiers who have crossed the sea from their home country, the total strength of the Sovereign National Army is 15,000.
With the overwhelming superiority of the situation, we will not need another thousand reinforcements.
"It's no wonder Tria's eyes are turning towards us now that the northern republic is finished.Unlike empires where heavy iron originates on the border with the country and the old kingdom, independent tria has no domestic supply.For them, yes, but I don't think they want to keep the heavy iron pulse. "
Calmly, Marida guesses Tria's thoughts.
"Just leave me alone...."
The tone of his tongue crushed Ardis.
It was Moore who opened his mouth on behalf of Aldis.
"Well, I can't help but come.We'll have to prepare as much as we can before the Trias arrive.Move forward. "
I knew this would happen eventually.
It's just a quick story.
Then Moore is right now, and we have to move forward with what we were about to do.
"Then let the refugees know immediately."
I'll let Ellie know and ask for help too.
Elmer and Marida left the conference room in a hurry to play their part.
"I'm sorry, but Aldis will help you."
"I don't need to be told."
The remaining Ardis nodded forcefully towards Moore.
And then four days.
Glock's town was wrapped in a subtle and hasty atmosphere.
The proximity of the Trinian army was communicated through Elmer and the mayor, and those who left the town hurried to set up their support.
It's less than I thought.
Cyril talks to Ardis as he sees them.
"I didn't see the Trinian army.Some people don't feel comfortable listening to Elmer and the others.If the Trinian army approaches a visible distance, there may be people trying to escape at the last resort. "
Though there were reports of proximity and confirmation of asylum seekers, people reacted more slowly than expected.
The incoming Trinian army counts thousands and will come in about ten days.
We have only about a hundred militiamen trained by the Duke of Nyerestelia's guard to intercept.
When evacuating, provide escorts chosen from among the guards and militia.
The Ardis released the information without concealing it as much as they could, prompting the refugees to make their own decisions.
On top of that, he called for the evacuees to depart five days later, but fewer raised their hands than they thought.
Of course, there are a few who want to take this town as their new home and take weapons to protect it.
But the most common ones were those who did not believe the information of the attack itself.
Four days ago, when I heard that there was an army from Tria today, ordinary people would wonder, "Why do you know what happened in Tria today?"
Elmer, who even identifies Sarah with the goddess, does not doubt the words, and Aldis accepts that it is true to wonder because she thinly understands that she is not normal.
Moore and Minerva believe Sarah because Ardis doesn't suspect it.
Ardis is not sure about the marida either.
She didn't say anything suspicious of Sarah's words to make her feel confident with the power of her dreams.
But the refugees will not either.
As a result, roughly 30% of people believed the information approaching the Trinian army, and the remaining 70% questioned the credibility of the information.
Some of them decide "false information to trouble the growing number of refugees", and many try to send them everyday while pretending to be unaware of the imminent crisis.
"Well, I gave you a choice.I can't hear you complaining later. "
"Not everyone is as strong as Mr. Ardis."
Ardis asks, ignoring Cyrillic blame and still stunned voices.
"What about Cyril?
"It's decided to stay, right?Even though my sister and Marida are staying, I can't escape.And I don't want to go back to Lattin or King's Landing now. "
I see.
Though it feels unreliable from Ardis' point of view, Cyril, who can walk around the Caucasian forest alone, has less power than a single mercenary.
Protecting Glock's town are the volunteers, the majority of whom have been trained in the last few months and have no combat experience.
There are only a handful of former guards at the Duke of Moore and Nyerestelia's residence who led them, as well as former mercenaries and former Explorers who left World War I and immersed themselves in a peaceful life.
The presence of Cyril and Eleanor, who graduated from Mariules College and had been at war in the past, was a valuable force for Ardis today.
"But are you sure the Trias are coming?
Cyril asks questions without hesitation as he sees Ardis silent.
"What, Cyril doesn't believe in information?"
"I didn't check it with my own eyes.Can you trust a girl named Sarah?
"Girl, hey...."
Ardis smiled bitterly at Cyril's story.
Certainly, the shape of the sailor only looks like a girl in her late teens.
But the only people who know that it hasn't changed in decades are Elmer and the ancient people in hiding places.
Ardis and the twins who are seeing the example of Nele are accepting it as a matter of course, but they should laugh at the fact that it's just a yota story, such as a normal human being who doesn't get old.
The sailor is returning to his hideout as soon as he brings the good news.
I warned you beforehand, so we should be able to do something ourselves later.
In fact, as long as Ardis is here, it won't be a big surprise when a thousand or 2,000 troops come in from the front.
Unless you're a mercenary with the power to fight Aldis.
But to Moore, who is famous as a talented man, regardless of the appearance of the "Star of the Night", the more serious Aldis is, the less difficult it is.
For now, Rona and King Beast Showder are the only ones who can fight Ardis properly in this world. If you ignore their cowardly character and say it with strength, Rupus and Nele are the only ones left.
"Remember Nele?
"You won't forget.I remember him in a different way than Aldis. "
Cyril smiles for a different reason than Aldis.
"From Sarah's point of view, Nelle seems to have hit her niece."
"... eh!?
Cyril rounded his eyes at the impact he was thrown into.
"Sure, it's a facade similar to Nelle's..."
"I don't think Sarah's the same age as me.So stop being a girl. "
Cyril sighs with Ardis' kind advice.
"Really, it's Nelle and these kids, Ardis is surrounded by insane people....."
Ardis gave up his objection, feeling a little irrational, to Cyrillic's rhetoric, which seemed to have given up.
Nearly a thousand people eventually left the town of Glock.
About fifty militiamen are supposed to accompany them to escort the evacuees leaving town.
More than half of them are families of refugees.
Sometimes fewer people leave town than expected, minimizing defensive drain.
"What is the remaining combat power?
"Twenty-four of my men fled the Duke's territory.Eighty-two volunteers have been trained here.Sixty-five people have offered to help with the defense this time.A total of one hundred and seventy-first. "
When Moore answered Aldis's question, Cyril asked frankly.
"Isn't that a lot?
This was a newly built guard station, one of its rooms, in the town of Glock.
In addition to Cyril, the magician Eleanor, Cain, Endori, and Jake, who lead the guard, also attended the town's defense discussions.
Instead, the mayor, Elmer, and Marida were not directly involved in the fighting.
"I don't have a sense of crisis.Some of them still think it's just rumors that the Trinian army is attacking. "
"I'm relaxed.I don't know if I can't stick my sword to my throat. "
"I suppose you have a strong desire not to let anything happen."
"It would be easier if the enemy retreated just by wishing."
"You guys are out of line."
Moore points it out to his subordinates who open their mouths one after another.
"So, what do we do, Aldis?
"If it's about a thousand people, I can do anything by myself...I don't think that's a good idea for the future. "
After Ardis said he was flat, he put his arms together with a serious expression.
"What is the future?
Eleanor, sitting next to Cyril, sandwiched her mouth.
"Even though it's a life-threatening crisis, I don't know how many militiamen have volunteered..."
"That's definitely..."
Moore, who understands Ardis' intentions, worried and Cyril agreed.
"What do you mean, Cyril?
Instead of eating Aldis or Moore, Eleanor sits next to her or her former classmates by her elbows.
"The problem with Ardis and the others is the next one.Even if we can defeat the Trials this time, it's not our power.It's because of Mr. Ardis' strength, isn't it?Aldis isn't always focused on defense in this town, so we need to think about future defense without it.Yet it's a bit hard to say that in this situation there are only 65 people with weapons who are trying to protect the town...In short, it's a matter of people in the city thinking about the Trinian army like other people. "
Women, children and the elderly are impossible, but given the size of the population, we should be able to organize about 500 militiamen.
However, less than 150 people, including people who had been trained before, actually gathered.
The lack of a sense of crisis was evident.
"Well, seeing the Trinian army will change your consciousness.I'm sorry, Aldis, but I'm going to have to put a burden on you this time. "
"I know. I slap the center of the enemy from the front.I'll take care of the enemies you beat. "
"That's exactly what I'm gonna do."
With Aldis's strength, we can easily defeat a night raid on a single horse before the Trias show up.
However, the people in the town will not feel threatened at all.
So this time I dared to fight at a distance from the city and show it to the people of the city.
I knew it would be rough treatment.
