It is about a five-day walk to the village if it is meant to be.
Not so far apart in the sense of actual physical distance.
But the road continues with woods with little roads and lots of uphill and downhill.
More importantly, it is the great habitat of a demon who stepped foot if he were a concomitant mercenary, but in the end is said to scatter his life in no time.
Naturally there's no way a carriage can pass, it's like taking a horse or a loba to feed a demon, so in the end, people have to walk with their luggage on their backs.
Inevitably, the progress becomes dull.
It will take five days each way to get there.
Not to mention that the Michelles have thrown away their luggage now and brought out only what is around them.
Regardless of the water, there is no hope for food.
So Ardis suggested bringing the horse into the woods and trying to narrow that itinerary by riding it.
"No, I do have food insecurity. Isn't it reckless to just take a horse? You're just attracting demons."
Ted's concerns are also natural.
I don't even have a special exorcism talisman for the horse.
Even with Michelle and Ted wearing talismans, it didn't make sense for demons to come over for horses.
"I'll take care of the demons that come by. It's a waste of time now."
The water can be created by Ardis by magic, and the food can be made to look like it was from Shall's backpack and removed from the 'Gate'.
If you take five days to walk, you probably won't have trouble with water or food.
But the problem is time.
Aldis was really concerned about the Tria Army.
I wanted to get the Michelles to the village as soon as possible and find out what that trend was.
There are enough horses.
Of course, there's no way we can rush through more than it's not an even (then) averaged path, but if we could get Liana and Shall behind someone, we'd be able to go a lot faster than walking away.
"Is that what you're saying, that Aldis alone can defeat the demons that strike him while he's side-by-side with the horses? Are you aware that I just said something even more outrageous?
Like asking quality (just) for words. On the other hand, the expression remains gloomy, and Norris peeks into Aldis' eyes with an atmosphere that he just says he expects an extraordinarily delightful spectacle.
"When a demon strikes, you just have to consolidate it in one place and focus on forgiving the horse. I'll take care of it."
When Aldis confidently tells him that, with the exception of one Norris, the people around him get the look that it's time to make a decision.
Nevertheless, the faces of the White Night (Bitter) star (Mijj), who knows the power of Ardis, never utter a clear opposite.
In the end, Michelle expressed her willingness to respect Ted's judgment, so the passive, yet one-line, was to accept Ardis' proposal.
It was only two days after Ardis and the others arrived in the village.
We stepped inside the junction, not exactly on the village grounds, but if we got here, we wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by dangerous demons, and then Ted and the others alone would get to the village safely.
"Hey...... I knew it was out of standard, but once again, it was so bullshit that I couldn't describe it in words."
Hahaha what makes me laugh is Norris manipulating the horse with his bow on his back.
The surrounding area reacts with a dry smile with its cheeks drawn to the words.
"You really cleaned up on your own."
Ted agrees with Norris with the look on his face like he gave up something.
As Aldis declared, Ted and the other eight, including the mercenaries of the escort, were alone in defending Liana and Charles.
Besides, ten people remain on horses that should also be coveted (supremely) bait for demons.
He was attacked by demons as soon as he entered the woods of the Canobis Mountains, as Ted feared, but Ardis defeated them one after the other by witchcraft that manipulated them silently and by a flying sword that called them from the "gateway".
It's just instantaneous enough that there's no room for the Teds to go down from their horses and join the fight.
As a result, even though the road was bad, it was sometimes traveling on horses, and one line could have broken the itinerary, which would normally take five days, in just two days.
Keep going and you will arrive in the village in less than half a day.
That's what I was thinking. Ardis realizes the great magic that approaches him.
Two numbers.
Eventually the magic came in front of me when I found what Ardis and the others looked like, opening up the most questionable.
"Is that it? Why are you with me?
The Lord of Magic is Ardis' partner Rona, and it is Lupus, a chlor species who became part of the village two years ago, who follows behind it.
The fact that the magnitude of magic was far greater than that of demons, that this was the inside of the junction, that magic came from a certain direction of the village, the way that Ardis had followed from those clues.
"Oh, it was just fine. Lupus, will you take the Michelles to the village?
"Oh, yes."
To Lupus, who replies honestly without asking why, Ardis pushes Ted and Michelle.
"Aren't you going back to the village?
"I'm concerned about the movement of the Tria Territorial Army I heard about. Me and Rona, we're gonna find out what's going on."
Orphelia pinched her mouth from the side when Ardis answered Michelle's query that way.
"But, Ardis, you haven't slept in the last two days, have you? Shouldn't you be better off after a night's rest in the village?
"It's not like I haven't slept at all. It's okay."
During the night camp, he had a short sleep while on perimeter alert.
Younger than the original Ardis, this body doesn't perform as well as it should because of a slight lack of sleep.
It's good to be young, Ardis laughs bitterly in his heart alone.
Of course, drowsiness always strikes me, but that was not the usual thing, nor was it even more troublesome now.
It is now a priority to check the situation a little faster than that.
Having so concluded, Ardis left the rest to Lupus, and he decided to turn back the way he had just come.
I disagreed that Liana would follow me, but just this time, I can't allow her to accompany me.
If it comes to fighting - the opponent is probably human.
In Liana, who has less interpersonal experience, it would be more dangerous than a demonic opponent.
"Let's go, Rona"
The only person I can take with me is my partner who can take care of my back with his breath.
"... you explain it right, don't you?
"Of course. Things talk on the road"
Take Rona, who follows her in the shambles, and Ardis walks out in the direction of the meadow.
After getting enough distance from the Michelles, Ardis and Rona ascend to the sky and begin traveling at high speeds.
"Tria's Leader? I don't know much about it, but it's definitely got something to do with Al or the twins, right?
"It's not a big deal to say it's a cause. Well, I'm pretty sure it's someone I don't really want to get involved with."
"Then you can leave me alone."
"How about leaving Michelle and the others unaware of anything more than they were being chased? At least I want to know why."
I finished explaining to Rona what Michelle and the others had told me along the way, and when I exchanged some words with each other, I saw a silly (ugly) shadow in the distance.
"What is that?
As we approach, the shadow begins to show the shape of a person clarity, and gradually Ardis also understands what is happening there.
Armed human populations.
The sight of it splitting into two hands and fighting, fighting and killing each other was spreading beneath my eyes.
"This is..."
"With the Tria Army..., it's the kingdom soldiers who are fighting, isn't it? I don't know where the army is."
It is the meadows along the great streets that connect the king's capital to Tria that the Ardis are in.
You can say the central part of the kingdom far from the border.
Even if demons and humans fight, there's no way humans can cross swords.
But what Ardis sees is that unlikely sight.
There was a stage there named Battlefield, where the Royal Army split into enemy allies and took each other's lives with a blade.
A ridden soldier of the Tria Army rushes through the meadows and flies the infantry with momentum intact.
If an arrow released to that cavalry accidentally pierces the horse's eye and wonders if a soldier falling from a horse rampaged in pain was chopped up surrounded by multiple infantry soldiers, this time the infantry, who was swinging down his sword to the cavalry, is pierced by a spear protruding from behind and is doomed.
In the chaos that instantly replaces the perpetrator and the victim, all that grows is the ominous color of red (doesn't give it to me).
There were overlapping bitter voices squeezed out during the death of the male screamers to dispel fear, and too cruel a noise to call it a hustle and bustle was echoing around them.
"Al, the direction of the king's capital"
Turning south to Rona's voice, Ardis accidentally smiles.
"Are you burning...?
The figure of Wang Du, which exists far away, can only be seen in the shadow of Kasumi (Kasu) from this position.
But from the shadow, there is something like smoke that you would normally never see.
If it could have been seen so far apart, it couldn't have been just a matter of time.
"What the hell is going on?"
"What do we do?
I groaned unexpectedly at the unexpected, but I don't have to think about what Ardis should do.
Being on the battlefield under your eyes is just someone else who has nothing to do with Aldis.
But there are several face-to-face acquaintances in the capital.
There has been little face-to-face for the past two years other than the informant Cesare, but still not so shallow a relationship as to be cut and thrown away with someone else in red.
Thinking of several faces, Ardis spoke without hesitation.
"Going to Wangdu"
"Right."
Aldis takes the road south with Rona, who naturally replies.
If I looked up, there was a blue sky that would fall out.
In cloudless sunny weather, Aldis' destination behind the red-stained land is Gran, the kingdom's capital, wrapped in dullness.
Ardis hurried to the king's capital, feeling stirred up chest noise and anxiety.
