144. Deltain (1)
After the break, there was some awkwardness in the air.
Jesse’s disbelief is understandable.
Right now, he almost became a doll by the demons, and his relatives became demons and tried to kill him, and his country fell into a civil war because of the demons.
For him, demons must be the object of hatred.
Even if Lit is different, I wouldn’t be able to fully trust it.
I understand.
“Then I will believe you.”
This is the point of conflict… … ok?
“If you can trust me, you can trust me too.”
Thank you, but I am a little worried.
Cover up and trust this.
This character is perfect for being deceived.
It’s a bit shocking too.
He pushed aside the emotions that were creeping up and faced reality.
“For now, Lit should head back to Athlonia. There he joins Sir Julich. And the rest have priority to get to Delta. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
Soon the chase will come again.
Especially since the existence of Lit and I would have been known to Elysee, more troops would flock to the Delta.
“I’ll tell you what to do when we get to Delta.”

Me and my students will be separated on the way to Delta.
I told them in advance what to do when they arrived at Delta.
“If you go there, look for a place called ‘Gongbang’.”
“A workshop?”
The power that allowed the Duchy of Ermel to be reborn as a kingdom along with the Athlone family during the founding of Ermel.
That’s Delta’s workshop.
In terms of its history, it has to go back to the time of the earliest civilizations.
A group formed by the best craftsmen.
Some of the new weapons that exist in this worldview were made in the workshop during the time of the ancient civilization, and it is also the workshop that manufactures the ‘Emiley Sword’, the most powerful weapon in ＜Ah. So, their skills are unquestionable.
They flowed to the Delta people located in Ermel in search of quality ingredients, and gave strength to Ermel in the midst of the war.
Now, its existence has been forgotten, but its existence is still maintained.
In addition, carefully selected materials from among the high-quality metals from Delta-in go into the workshop.
The high-quality materials and the craftsmanship of the continent’s best craftsmen are added to make the workshop’s equipment incomparable to any other equipment on the continent.
No matter how good swords and treasured swords they possessed, they were not as good as the workshop’s equipment, except for the shinigami.
But it’s not just the equipment that I’m sending them to the workshop.
Even if the Delta people are not yet affected by Elysee, the occupation is instantaneous when Elysee’s army arrives.
But the workshop is different.
You can never break into the workshop.
The defense system of the workshop, which has been passed down since long ago, was enough to block even Trisha, who even broke the final seal.
They are sent to the workshop to ensure their safety.
“Stay there. The ‘workshop’ is not affected by Elysee or the Hermelian royal family, so don’t worry.”
“But will you accept us there? I am not affected by the royal family of Ermel.”
a reasonable opinion.
However, it is simple if you know the characteristics of the ‘workshop’.
I pulled out two pieces of metal from my pocket.
‘I didn’t bring it for this.’
They are the remnants of the ancient civilization ‘Tower’ that Cardinal Yuren was trying to restore in the Holy Empire, and the metal taken from the Munez Mountain laboratory.
Fragments of structures close to the ancient civilizations and the metal that sealed the ancient civilizations.
If this is the case, you will be able to persuade those ‘workshops’ who are obsessed with materials.
“Show me this. Instead, do not hand it over until you are assured that you will protect it.”
“yes.”
He handed the metals to the most reliable Ruina.
Luina, who was holding the metal, asked curiously.
“But, isn’t the professor going with you?”
“… … .”
Yes.
They still don’t know that I’m trying to deal with the Hermelian forces coming away from them.
“Just in case. Whatever you do, give priority to getting to the Delta people’s ‘workshop’. It is an order.”
“But, with the professor, how can an emergency arise?”
“On the battlefield, certainty is poison. Make it a habit to always prepare a plan B.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Before we get going, there is one thing we need to do.”
“What?”
“I swear by my magic. No matter what happens, we give priority to going to the workshop.”
“Hey, that far?”
The students were in doubt, but this was a must-do.
With a somewhat reluctant expression on their faces, they all pledged their magical powers and swore.
“Then please make an oath, too.”
“… … What do you mean?”
Anyway, no matter what the conditions are, all the oaths are null and void because I don’t have magical power itself.
“No matter what happens, I will surely survive.”
It seems that he felt an unusual current.
“… … okay. Don’t.”
I have no intention of doing anything until I throw my life away anyway.
Although my priorities have changed a bit, my goal is to survive. because it was on its own.
“Then, let’s go.”
* * *
“Lucas, did you get it?”
“We’ve moved a lot of troops in the direction of Delta. Now that the location has been determined… … .”
damn-!
“When did I say so much? I told you to send everything, everything!”
Obviously, Elise said so.
However, his instincts as a soldier that remained a little left behind unwittingly to check Irelin’s side.
“You don’t have to bring Lilith that year! Are you conscious or not? Send them all to Delta right now. Okay?”
If his ego had been a little more awake, he could have prevented Elise’s choice now.
Or, he could have left the entire army to Elysee and turned to Lucas only as much as he needed in reality.
However, he didn’t have that much ego left.
Only love for Elise.
[Move all troops to Delta!]
So he moved his entire army to the Delta.
* * *
“The troops are moving.”
“Actually, as Prince Lucas said.”
“Iknow, right. How the hell did he look… … .”
As Lucas had planned, the troops began to move in the opposite direction of the capital, the Delta.
Finally, the way to advance to the main camp is being opened.
“I will take the lead.”
Julich was fully armed and stood in front of the soldiers.
“But Sir Julich… … .”
“Even if the body of a god is old, it is a body that prides itself on being the number one knight in Ermel.”
Although his face is full of traces of time, his body was unparalleled to that of young knights, and his well-forged momentum was sharp as if he would cut through all his enemies.
The still guns indicate that his heyday has not yet passed.
“All right. Lilith will be back soon. Let’s sortie together.”
“I take orders.”
Julich prostrated, and Irelin looked at him with a bitter face.
‘You are still not a lord to Sir Julich.’
Although he was chosen by Julich, he was not his master.
From that point on, I noticed.
that he cannot make himself lord.
That is, his steps are heading towards death.
“It is said that Lilith-sama is back.”
Just then, a messenger announced the arrival of Lit.
Julich raised his head.
There was something intense in those eyes.
“Then, sortie.”
“I will dedicate the victory.”
Irelin just nodded.

Gradually you will feel the heat.
It is close to the desert area.
And behind us, more troops than before followed.
‘Is it as expected?’
Elysee’s extreme personality would have turned the entire army here, in the direction of Delta, then the road to Athlonia would have been opened.
-Completed joining Lilith. Ready to go out.
Correspondence from the Athlonian side also instilled confidence.
All that remains is for these children to arrive safely at the Delta.
To do that, we need to reduce the troops behind me.
“Come on, let’s all wear what we have prepared.”
Before departing for the Delta, he cut a pile of black cloth in Athlonia and made simple clothes that could be worn over it.
In order to cross the hot desert, clothes that are not like this are essential.
Black absorbs sunlight well, but paradoxically, sweat meets the wind blowing through the loose fabric to cool it.
“Hurry up.”
You are now completely in the desert.
The sweltering heat was unbearable even for me.
However, you cannot show weakness.
Because these kids will have a hard time too.

Milia and the other two magic students continue to blow a cool breeze, but the heat of the desert quickly engulfs them, and the more they do, the more their mana is depleted.
Since I don’t know the future situation, I told you to save it for now.
how long did you walk
“Professor, after… … .”
When I looked back at someone’s call, I saw a guy who was lagging behind as if he was about to fall behind.
It seems that the fiercely approaching Ermelites will reach them at any moment.
“Take them and go first.”
He left the students with Victor and flew right behind him.
With a sign of being quite tired, I-
It was Leone.
Her basic stamina itself lags far behind the ＜All About Combat> students.
Still, it came out better than I expected.
“Can you walk a little longer?”
“Yes, Professor… … can walk. I’m sorry, because of me. Because I’m a burden… … .”
“I don’t consider you a burden.”
Rather, she will play the biggest role in this war.
So you have to keep
Everyone, including those who are ahead of me.
‘It almost arrives.’
I’m not talking about deltas.
It refers to a place where the legacy of an ancient civilization is buried.
The runes that appear to be ‘Shinan’ prove that fact.
‘Underground… … Logon.’
However, the legacy of the ancient civilizations lie buried beneath this desert area.
In this hot weather, it is impossible to dig the hot sand away from the pursuit.
But there is no way.
They stopped those who were going ahead.
“Listen everyone. From now on, you must obey my words unconditionally. Do you understand?”
“yes. of course.”
A look of exhaustion is evident on the faces of the students.
Still, if you hold on a little longer, you will be able to reach the Delta without chasing.
“Their pursuit followed them all the way to the chin. Everyone knows that.”
“yes.”
It’s even more visible with the naked eye.
“You go to the Delta right now. Because the only thing they want first is me.”
“Ha, but Professor!”
“Are you sure you made an oath with magic?”
Students must not remain.
Rather, it just gets in the way.
“From now on, I will be the bait. In the meantime, so that you can get to Delta safely.”
“However… … .”
“Are you about to break an oath with magic? Victor, hurry up and take the students to the Delta.”
“Professor, are you really okay? No matter how much a professor is dealing with all those countless troops in such an environment… … ”
“Student safety comes first. And only by keeping them here can I fulfill the oath I made with you.”
keep students from hearing. He whispered softly so that only Victor could hear it.
Victor nodded as if he knew.
“Come on, move. This is the professor’s order. Do you know how sinful it is to disobey orders on the battlefield?”
“still… … .”
“hurry! There is no time!”
At my urging, the students began to wiggle and move.
“professor! The oath the professor made! Be sure to keep it!”
The students walking away shouted loudly.
A promise to survive.
“Yeah, no.”
At the same time, Ermel’s soldiers flock to me like a swarm of bees.
“Come on.”
But my eyes are not on them.
Rather, it is watching the ground.
The ruler of this desert approaching secretly and quickly.
Fuhua aaah-!
A huge explosion occurs in the sand, and a huge sand rain begins to fall.
In that rain of sand, what I was waiting for.
The king of the desert, Manticore, stood there.
