Forget the situation and Minerva is nailed to the scene.

Against the background of the blue sky, which continues to cloud, the man was floating in space so that he could follow countless swords.

Minerva's eyes moisturized when she saw what she wanted to see and couldn't help but see.

It was a boy named Aldis, Minerva's only teacher.

"Master..."

You might not have heard such a crushing voice, but the sword that was floating around Ardis moved as it responded.

One of them fell in front of Minerva and ripped deep the back of the Empire soldier who was struggling with him.

Recalling that he was in the middle of the battlefield, Minerva tries to confirm the existence of a continuing enemy.

The Imperial soldier, who was poking his spear into his hand from left to right, was defeated by another sword before he could turn his gaze.

After the crisis, Minerva looked around and tried to grasp the situation.

Swords flying far above still damage the Empire.

The next casualty was the sorcerer who was behind in a way that other soldiers would protect him.

After an ambush from the blind spot above, the magicians fell short of the barrier, and the Imperial Army finally realized that they were under attack from the sky.

"Up there!

"And it's flying..."

"Is that... the magician of a thousand swords!?

While many Imperial soldiers were upset by the unusual sight of people flying in the sky, the voice continued to push the identity of Aldis to follow the many (and yet) swords.

But most of it will cost you your life at the next moment.

Because the response to them took the form of a merciless sword falling from the sky.

Ghhh!

Hey!

Gyah!

Aldis's sword fell on the Imperial soldiers.

"What a thousand swords! These things are no different from flying arrows!

Most Imperial soldiers were penetrated in an instant, but some responded quickly and succeeded in playing the sword.

But it was also a waste of resistance.

Aldis's flying sword is more than a straight throwing weapon.

It is a melee weapon manipulated by magic and shaken by an invisible user.

A thrown arrow or thrown spear would do, and the sword would hit the enemy again, even if it succeeded in the first shot.

After being played, the sword kept moving towards the enemy's neck as if it had been re-divided.

Pay, poke, slash and chase down soldiers, and eventually use their sword moves to take their lives straight away.

An imperial soldier who resisted until the end fell through his chest.

The silent minervas were surrounded by red, stained, immobile remains.

More than eighty Imperial soldiers were unilaterally ravaged, and Ardis, who was watching from high above, came down to the ground.

Next to it, you will find Rona in golden colour, and Minerva's feelings of surprise and awe will be replaced by nostalgia and joy.

"Oh, thank God."

Moore was the first to speak to Aldis.

"Long time no see. Minerva seems fine, above all. You didn't stop using swordsmanship."

When he answers Moore in an unfriendly way, Aldis turns and speaks with a minerva-friendly face.

The cheeks of Minerva loosened up about Moore's face, which seemed unusual.

But apart from the joy of seeing each other again, I can feel the tiny sorrow and anger that have been tickling me for two years rekindling.

"... why?"

Without even thanking him for his help, the first thing I said was to question him.

"Why didn't you just shut up?

It's good to see you again.

I appreciate your help.

Though reason understands it, words spill out like grudges.

"Just one word... my feeling that I couldn't even say goodbye to Master..."

"Ah, well... I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

To Minerva, who was about to cry, Ardis showed a bad look.

Originally, Ardis didn't have to apologize.

Minerva also knew that he pretended to be irrelevant so that he could not point his finger at the church.

Still, the emotion went forward more than reason, probably because it was so sweet to Aldis.

"... I said something like a child. Forget it."

Minerva, who noticed herself like that, quickly recovered and confronted Ardis.

"Thank you for saving my life. Thank you, Lorna."

"I didn't do anything this time. Well, Al and I will protect Minerva, so don't worry."

Instead of answering, Minerva carries Rona's back.

The touch of my hand for the first time in two years calmed my mind.

"There will be plenty of stories, but why don't we just move on? There may be new recruits."

Moore sandwiched her mouth there.

If he was entrusted with escorts, it is only natural that he wanted to stay away from dangerous places at all.

Oh, yeah.

He didn't seem anxious about Aldis even though he said yes.

Even if there is a new chase, you are confident that it will be presented in the same way as before.

Well then, shall we join the men who preceded us and go to the Duke's territory? I want to rush Cain and my daughter is hurt. "

Did it hurt somewhere?

Minerva answers Aldis's question with an expression.

"It's no big deal to me. Cain is better than that....."

Ardis, who followed Minerva's gaze, saw the wounded escort and gave him a luxury cure that he had taken from somewhere.

If you're still breathing, use this.

"Premium cure! Thank you!"

As soon as Moore received the premium medicine, she quickly opened the seal and sprayed the medicine on Cain's burn.

Cain's burns healed suddenly just by crowning him luxurious.

"Look, Minerva too."

"No, I'm fine."

"Now's not the time to put up with it."

Using premium medicine that was given to push, Minerva was finally freed from shoulder pain.

Meanwhile, Moore and the others bring three unharmed horses from the surroundings.

"We don't have enough horses... Endri, get Cain on your horse. Lady on my horse, Aldis on Jake's horse?

"Don't worry about me. I'll go after him on my own."

"I don't even know how to..."

Moore and the others saw Ardis floating in space, just like Minerva.

Can you imagine why Ardis doesn't need a horse?

The Minervas split into three horses and headed west.

Aldis and Rona fly over the horses.

"I thought it was bullshit, but it was bullshit enough to fly in the sky....."

Moore, riding on the same horse as Minerva, looks up at Ardis with a half-faced look.

"I wonder if they use scaffolding, too."

"I don't know...."

Minerva's eyes saw two pieces of moya spraying to support Ardis and Rona's body from below and pushing them from behind.

Aldis, who seemed to have noticed something, lowered his altitude and lined up next to the horse.

Minerva and Moore's hair is disturbed by a strong wind blowing from the ground.

"Something's coming this way. Maybe a horse."

"Horses?"

Moore raised her eyebrows.

Of course, coming alone is not a wild horse.

In other words, there should be a human on the horse, and the human on the horse would come running, which means that there was some kind of abnormality in the bad sense.

Eventually, Minerva's eyes saw a horse coming forward.

"Ahhh... the one you were wearing to escort the asylum seekers."

Determine that Moore is a member of his security detail.

The distance is reduced and Moore stops the horse and the opponent stops in the same way.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Ri, the territorial capital....!

The guard shouted at Moore as he asked.

"The Territorial Capital has fallen under an Imperial Army ambush!

"What the hell!

A row wrapped in astonishment with Moore's voice.

The guard who came as a beacon starts telling us what happened after he took another action with the Minervas.

There were about ten guards assigned to guide and escort the refugees.

Watching out for beast and bandit raids, as they marched on the evacuees, they encountered a crowd of humans coming forward.

A group is not an army.

It was just like the evacuees they escorted.

Some of them carried large baggage, but most of them seemed no different from the refugees from King's Landing until they were thought to have fled in their clothes.

When asked about the situation, the Imperial Army's flag was raided early in the morning, as was the King's Capital, and the garrison was destroyed with little resistance.

He ran away from the battle and ran into a refugee from King's Landing.

For confirmation, one of the guards went to see the situation with a horse, and it was clear that the Imperial Army flag had already been raised and the territorial capital had fallen.

As long as the Empire takes control of the destination, we can't keep going.

The evacuees from the King's Capital joined the evacuees from the Territorial Capital and returned to us.

"I'm just kidding...."

That's Moore's face, too.

Minerva is bluishing without words.

But I can't rest assured forever.

Hurry ahead for a moment, and Minerva and the others will join the flood of evacuees.

Then he moved off the street and gathered the guards, hoping that the chasers would not come, and exchanged with Ardis to discuss the future.

I didn't know the Imperial Army was reaching out to the territorial capital.

Moore breathes deeply.

It seems like a former mercenary who has traveled the Shura Hall many times, and has already recovered from the shock.

"Are the people in the house safe...."

"The safety of your daughter is our priority now. If the kingdom fell and the territorial capital fell into the hands of the Empire, the country would already be....."

I'm worried about the people Minerva works for in the Territorial Mansion, but for Moore it won't be much of a story.

It was a good unexpected place to come and lose a place to go.

To the north lies the kingdom of the Toriah, and to the east the kingdom occupied by the Empire.

The aristocratic realm beyond that will be under the control of the Empire.

If the only remaining west is within the reach of the Empire, there will no longer be a place to settle in the country.

"Do you want to take refuge in the United Cities?

"Are you taking the evacuees with you? That's impossible. I don't think the Empire will miss out on the slow-moving crowd if we drive a few horses."

Moore kicks in Endori's suggestion.

Even the slow-moving evacuees are being brought in.

If you're walking down the street, you don't want to look the Imperial soldiers in the eye, but you can't just get off the street and go through dangerous places.

With no more than 20 escorts, it was impossible to protect the refugees.

If we leave the refugees behind and run through them with horses, we may be able to slip through the eyes of the Empire, but of course Minerva does not intend to make such a good choice.

However, there is no other effective policy, and the field is wrapped in heavy air.

It was Ardis who threw a stone there.

"What about the north...?
