Chapter 682
Chapter 682
Radnelbandes doesn’t know Eldmia very well.
Strictly speaking, it was just a chance encounter. However, since Ragnis trusted him completely and Eldmia actively helped him out, he collected information here and there and evaluated him positively. However, it is true that he didn’t have much contact with Eldmia to say that he knew her well.
Even the information he obtained was usually picked up after some time had passed since the incident, with the opinions of those around him involved. This was the first time he had heard the situation in its raw form.
So Radnelbandes was flustered. It is certain that he is not the type of person to fight without reason, but that is only a third-party perspective that can be made with some knowledge of Eldmia. Eldmia was safe, but the Allied Forces that were moving were literally destroyed, so it was clear that chaos would break out as soon as the Kingdom Alliance heard this news.
Was it not completely resolved that the friction that had occurred while heading to Levien with the idea of the forgotten god had not yet been completely resolved? But the Allied forces that were moving now were heading to the Eastern Front, not for some other purpose? Radnelbandes decided to focus on reality, forcing aside the many thoughts that were running through his head.
Whatever it was, it was an emergency. The problem is not that Eldmia and the Allied Forces fought, but that the news is spreading without a clear reason being known.
“Is there any separate communication from the royal family?”
“Until now···”
“First, let’s check that out. Then, let’s contact all the cities and units that the crystal ball reaches to see how far this rumor has spread.”
Radnelbandes touched his forehead as he watched his vassals hurriedly leave the place as soon as the order was given.
It wasn’t long before I realized that it was too early to sigh, even though I had taken that action without realizing it because my head was complicated.
“Sir La Radnelvandes, the Allied Forces of the Kingdoms have submitted a letter of protest to the royal family.”
“It is said that the Kingdom Alliance troops currently deployed as garrison forces are gathering in one place! The Allied forces deployed on the Eastern Front have not expressed any intention to join, but the telegram says that they have stopped advancing to check the situation…”
“A request was made from the Masin Church to provide specific information···”
“The warrior of the empire···”
It was really a sigh too early.
◈
“Isn’t spring actually the season of events rather than the season of life?”
Ragnis looked at the document in front of him again and again.
At first, I thought I had misread it because I was tired and my eyes were blurry. Then I thought it might be a dream. However, the content written in the text had not changed, and the cheek I had pinched myself still hurt.
So Ragnis accepted reality. But the reaction it gave him was quite different.
“Why is he getting involved in such strange things and making people tired…”
“The corners of my mouth are smiling”
“Oops”
Yes! Ragnis is very happy now!
How many human resources have been wasted by the rubber-tube group called the Garrison! Even before this information came in, such losses were ongoing!
Strictly speaking, even the expression “currently in progress” was insufficient. Looking at the statistics, Ragnis could guarantee that it would be correct to say that it was accelerating. Now, there were even those who pretended not to see the dragon knights and shot arrows at them, or those who retreated moderately and plundered.
The Allied Forces, who had recently encountered Eldmia in the interior of Itisel and were annihilated, were also like that. Ragnis remembered the report that the ones he had been keeping a close eye on had gathered together and moved to the Eastern Front.
“But isn’t it harder not to laugh when you see this? It was obvious why these guys didn’t go through Soru and went inland. There was no reason to stop them, so I just let them go even though I was gritting my teeth, but in the end, they ended up getting punished like this.”
The distance between the breakwater called Itisel and the great wall called the Empire was beyond imagination.
Those who directly clashed with the Demon King’s army on the Eastern Front were aware of the reality and were struggling to survive, but the Allied Forces stationed there did not take this war seriously at all.
So, people are just thinking about making money, just like they used to when they were fighting over land. It’s not like there are only pure nobles in Itisel who don’t fight over power, but it’s not like this.
Even if he was a bad guy, he wouldn’t have gone out like this. If you look at the scale of the incident, it was a rebellion like no other in the world. But he was thinking of handing the country over to the Demon King, not of converting it into money and filling his pockets.
Well, if he was a crazy guy who would uproot and devastate a place he was supposed to rule anyway, he wouldn’t have been able to plot a rebellion.
Lenisa, who was looking at Ragnis, who was shaking his head and folding the document containing the news of the Allied Forces’ destruction neatly into his bosom to look at whenever he felt depressed, eventually couldn’t hold back a sigh.
“I don’t know if I should dare to say this, but… how can you smile so calmly? Aren’t you worried?”
Even if her mouth is getting rougher and rougher like that of a soldier, the content of the document she neatly folded up is that Eldmia defeated the army alone. It must not have been an easy battle even for a warrior. She may have been seriously injured. This could lead to a new conflict with the Demonic Cult and could result in her being criticized by the many demons who decided to cooperate with the kingdom.
It’s still unclear who was truly at fault, but that’s not important here.
Eldmia is a warrior of the machine.
Of course, in a corner of Lenisa’s heart, there was a strange conviction that ‘that’ Eldmia could not have caused an incident that would lead to her being arrested, but that was only her personal opinion, so it could not be used as a basis for judging the current situation.
“What are you worried about?”
“Couldn’t Ega Kyung have been injured?”
“That can’t be possible”
Ragnis answered immediately as if it wasn’t even worth worrying about, got up from his seat, stretched, and continued talking.
“Eldmia’s actions may be emotional, but the process of bringing about results is very meticulous. If she fought the army, she fought because she was confident she would win. If she fought the Demon King’s army, I would have worried because there were so many variables, but if she fought the garrison, it would have said everything.”
Even Ragnis could answer with certainty. The Allied forces were so weak that most of them were useless.
The difference is so clear that it makes you wonder, “Is actual combat really that important?” The Allied Forces, who unknowingly applied to the Eastern Front and ended up facing the Demon King’s Army, lost nearly 30% of their troops from the first day. Since then, the one-sided losses have continued steadily, and most of them are now in charge of rear support.
Even those who are running on the battlefield are in that state. Ragnis did not believe that the authors who call themselves garrison troops and try to somehow prey on ordinary citizens would be able to display more abilities.
“Rather than the dispute over the union of the kingdoms, I’m more worried about what the saint of the Demon Church said. Since I can’t sense magic, I should be able to know.”
The smile on Ragnis’ face, which had been beaming just a moment ago, disappeared as he brought up the topic himself.
“To make it more clear, weren’t you trying to tie Ega Kyung’s feet?”
“That’s right. It worked better than I expected. But apart from the fact that it was more effective than expected in tying up Eldmia’s feet, we didn’t get any results.”
The reason why Saint Deoni, who flies in on a dragon, assigned the demons who cannot ride a dragon to Eldmia, who can be defeated in an instant, as escorts.
“Is it really true that the Demon King is trying to assassinate Eldmia?”
The identity was information about an assassination attempt on Eldmia that was obtained through some kind of route.
In fact, Eldmia has committed so many crimes that it is not surprising that an assassin could appear anywhere at any time. In fact, it is more surprising that she has remained quiet until now. However, in this case, the target of the assassination was more problematic than the assassination itself.
“I can’t help but believe it, since the number of masters actually appearing on the front lines has increased.”
Master level or similarly strong people
In addition to those who had been appearing periodically on the front lines, mysterious strongmen who had never been seen before began to appear more frequently than usual.
Even though it is frequent, it is only a comparison to what has been shown so far. It is still at a level that can be called intermittent, but it is also true that it is different from what has been done so far. At first, it caused a lot of confusion because there was no particular pattern and it only showed up and then disappeared without even participating in battle.
But not anymore. I found out that they appear by following the divine power or magical power that was intentionally spilled, and that they have no interest in the movement of the existing master-level ones.
The commanding officers concluded that the Demon King had probably drawn the sword he had been holding to protect the capital to cut down the demon warrior.
And if that were true, it would be a serious problem.
Even the warrior of the empire, Siegfried, did not receive such attention.
