Grussel was willing to leave the ship in the morning, but that wasn't quite right.

Because there were reports at the same time as dawn —— beyond the western walls, in the woods.

As he hurries over to you, Grussel gives instructions to his men. He told me to be ready to get a big ship, a medium-sized ship, out soon. However, deploy the minimum number of personnel to you and the rest to the western wall--.

'... this is'

Grussell lost his word for a moment when he saw the forest areas illuminated by the clear light of the morning from above the walls.

The forest was the same forest as before, but there is extensive soil and dust.

National armies are well deployed in the sections of the trees.

Thousands? No, aren't there more than 10,000 troops coming?

"Tell Dreammaker"

I can hear words using loud demonic props. This was the word of a dreammaker so everyone could understand it.

"Our coalition demands of your army. Putting down all the troops to deploy on the walls. Disarming. Handing over the blasted cannon with the warhead pulled out this way through the gate. Turning the city over. To complete these contents by noon today. If it fails to complete, if it refuses, and if it is clearly seen to be unwilling to perform, our coalition launches an attack on the Dreammaker. Repeat -- '

The soldiers who heard the "demand" were flashed and, in turn, raised their voice of anger.

"What are they saying!?"

"Do something stupid!! Tell me you're turning this country over!

"How dare you behave like a superior!

The Grussel I heard was similarly frightened and the next thing I knew I was angry.

Even if they were blind objects to dragon stones, those at its apex should have been quite intelligent. I didn't expect you to make such a round of desire for it.

Didn't you show any interest in the Dreammaker recapture in the first place?

I didn't know you were going to make a thick, shameless demand on us for dominating the city over the death of our people --.

'--Secretary, please calm down. Coalition forces only seem to be around Quimbrand, Bios and Forestia.'

Said in a calm voice, Grussel hacks.

There was a gin there that looked worried.

'It's kind of weird. Sir, you don't make eyes run bloody like that. What's the matter? So shocked that you were threatened with your hometown? Or is it because of so many bodies?

'No... you're certainly right. I hear something's wrong with me. "

As Jin told me, calm down. I don't seem to see a Pawnsonian army united unanimously on the axis by an unusual number of belligerent Einvists, the main force, Vileosean, and "Kensei". In other words, it is the top 3 in battle power.

Of course, it's not likely that it's backpacking, but it's quite unlikely given Einvist's personality.

'You mean the worst is spared...'

"Still, there's more than five times the power difference, but hey."

'Do you really think they're going to attack us over there?

'... yes, I thought you should think about it. I don't know what's going on or why, but I've done it so far, and it's a joke. It's impossible. "

"So is that."

Sooner or later, Grussel gathers the captains who started it.

They were mad at Cancún, but seeing it, Grussel feels more and more calm about herself.

"Prepare for interception. Blast cannons shall not be put out on the walls, but shall only be used inside the walls. I can't help but lose my hitting accuracy."

Give immediate instructions.

'Do everything in secret. Confirm enemy conditions, but in some cases retreat to the ship.'

"Aren't you going to fight!? This is our country!!"

Fight naturally.

One of the captains abhors his voice with words that make him feel that way. Then the other captains nodded in tune.

It's not good, Grussell feels. Until now, emotional objections have popped up in the military chain of command, and even others have never been in tune.

"All possibilities need to be held back," he said.

'... I understand. I didn't think it was possible not to fight or anything, but if that's all you're saying, think about it.'

And when you say it like you don't even think about it at all,

'All right. Be prepared to withdraw.'

…………

"Must be."

"...... Ha"

Grussel was forced to keep his head down.

When the captains left, only Jin remained at the end, and he sounded sorry for himself.

'That was unexpected...... I didn't know everyone was coming to mind so far'

'Totally. Isn't this the same as a child'

This is my country, but do you not understand that King Doriarch abandoned this place to evacuate the whole nation?

It's the country where the people are. As long as the people are there, the country can be revived as many times as it wants.

There is no point in fighting the coalition forces now and making a huge sacrifice.

"Jin. Can you ask for reconnaissance?"

'I know. I'm going to find out why they started this ridiculous thing over there.'

"Please."

Jin ran away.

"Please..."

What the hell is going on?

I felt like I was being flirted with by an unlikely force, like a single leaf of a tree floating in the Great River.

In those days —— Lans Harvest.

Beast King Gerhardt had mock warfare against three of his guests (...), Claude, Ivan, and Lowey.

But the difference in strength was historical, and Ivan and Lowey, of what only Claude could eat, were retiring early.

"Get sloppy! Crisp, move!

"The king is too much of a bucket!

"If I can slap you lightly, I can still move!?"

Claude had put a knife in it, but Gerhardt was heating up because of it.

The Einvist soldiers who feel sorry for it look jealously at the "Polar Tiger" party members.

"Dear Gotholt. Me too."

"No."

"Okay? I thought you only enjoyed your guests."

"No. I have work to do after this."

"I'm doing my job!

"No. I won't allow Gerhardt to leave his strength for work. —— Mm."

When Gotholt saw it, it caught my eye that Lawrence, the Knights of Pawnsonia, was coming from beyond. He can see proximity from the like-hearted flesh at a distance.

Gotholt thought this was a bad idea. It was more obvious than watching the fire that Gerhardt would be more and more indulged in mock warfare when he came along like this and say, "It's hard, it's serious".

Gotholt hurriedly left the scene, contacting Lawrence and taking him to the tent where Gerhard's eyes could not reach him, "I'll take care of you if you have business to do.

"-- sorry for the sudden visit"

"No. This is the front line. Which is ridiculous, such as sending out a messenger who can reward you for your visit. --Tea, please."

"Appreciate it"

Lawrence drank up all at once when Gotholt received his brewed tea. Gotholt observes that he seems a lot tired. Indeed, the "roots" that Pawnsonia is attacking often have vicious monsters - Gerhardt said it was a "big win" - but it seems that the kingdom is severely depleted.

"So Lord Gotholt. As for this Dreammaker offense..."

Pawnsonia hasn't sent out any soldiers on the grounds of its depletion. It would mean you want to give it a break at Lans Harvest at all.

I guess there's an aspect to it that they don't even have to rush the second march to secure a giant dragon stone for that matter.

"May I ask what Master Gerhardt says?"

"What does that mean?

"The Eimbists are not part of the offense. Isn't that Lord Gerhardt's intention?

To point out, Gotholt nodded.

"... because you said 'I don't feel like it'"

————

Lawrence opened her eyes to the speculation,

"Ha. Right, I need to get on it. Then there's no choice."

I laughed and flushed it.

(This is the strength of Kensei)

Gotholt sighs inside. It was the first time I had seen "Kensei" up close, but I didn't mean to overestimate myself, but I thought "Kensei" would be about a ton of strength with me.

How about that? Seeing the real thing, Gotholt immediately thought, "I can't win." Rather, he felt on the same level as Gerhard, the unprecedented king.

Gotholt has always believed that he is not in this world, such as a man who can beat Gerhard, and that is more than his blind allegiance to the king.

Of course, seeing "Kensei" didn't waver my loyalty, but it was still shocking.

That's why, I wonder, the king wants a serious battle with "Kensei". That's crazy enough already. Not to mention coming to this continent.

("Kensei" doesn't even care if the dreammaker is rebellious. A stronghold called Lans Harvest —— not much of a stronghold, but I'm confident that even here would hold up to the second march. It's unshakeable.)

Pawnsonia, Einvist is not moving with the intention of the top. All that Villeosean has left is to maintain and enhance Lans Harvest.

Even with the rest of the force, the coalition headed to Dreammaker with the prospect of winning enough for a land war.

"So why did you say that you don't feel like (...)?

"Why...? When the king doesn't feel like riding, he doesn't do anything, so I'm not listening."

"... well. I hope so. I made tea a treat."

Lawrence stood up. Was it just satisfying to hear the story of "I don't feel comfortable" —— and worried that Gotholt should hold back,

"The Beastman King is keen on exploration. That's why. I'm glad we didn't move either."

That's what I left behind, and I left.

Jin further narrowed down the numbers from his usual reconnaissance unit and began operations with three members specializing in covert abilities. Dolan wasn't included there, but Zunzun is there. This silent fellow had a walking stunt without making a sound and was very well suited for this assignment.

out of the broken part of the castle wall. The grass grows so high that no enemy army would have noticed them until they reached the woods.

We walked into the woods for about 10 minutes before we could see an enemy watch.

"... stop once"

A buddy stops at the head of the gin.

"From the armor, that's Quinn Brand."

"Will it split in two hands?"

'No... let's all fall apart about that. Master Grussel can keep it alive if he can bring the information home alone.'

Zuzun opened his eyes.

What that Jin word means -- I'm prepared to say that up to three of the four people could die.

'... ok'

'Don't look like that, Zune. I've been sloppy and alive. If we join the West Vault Corps, do a light dong patch over there, and even come back here to successfully treat Master Doriarch, now they chase the city, and you think you're back, the Great War. You didn't think you could have such a full day.'

"I didn't even think they'd make me work this much"

"Must be."

The other two laugh along with Jin.

'... something is wrong with their behavior this time. Let's gather information early. Now, action begins --'

And it was when Jin was about to say it.

After the sound of hiccups......, I could hear the ground bursting downly.

When the guards in their sight were hacked up, they swept out to the position.

"Whoa, whoa... to that sound, that reaction of watching"

The sound is definitely in the blast cannon.

There must be only a few that the enemy has, but to see the movement of the watch,

"Somebody, our captain hastened...!

I guess I couldn't accept Grussel saying "possible retreat".

It was obvious from the "demands" of the other side that the war would be broken down if we launched an attack from here.

So I let go of the blast cannon.

If this happens, there can only be one reaction from the coalition.

Somewhere the sound of a high whistle rises. I hear the sound of copper ringing.

"I'm not collecting any more information! We're going back —— the enemy's total attack."
