56 – 15. Urgent work (2)
The rank of the Magician is one of the most important pieces of information.
That way, you know what kind of troops and how much to mobilize.
If you overinvest your troops in a useless place.
Conversely, there may not be enough power to put in when you really need it.
Fortunately, the moment when the demonic world opens its mouth in this world.
There was each color expressed according to each grade.
The lowest grade, the 5th grade demonic world, is gray, 4th grade is blue, and 3rd grade is red.
It is said that the color of the 1st grade devil’s eye, which has occurred only four times in the empire, is purple.
And in fact, the 2nd grade color that is judged to be the most dangerous is… .
“black… say.”
“yes. It was obviously black.”
“… under.”
Even the fearless knights of Lichtenau freeze in an instant.
The Demon Lord who ate their past head of household, successor, and colleagues.
Even though the elite of the elite participated, they suffered damage close to annihilation.
The jaws of hell that made Lichtenau itself reel.
The demonic world was nothing other than a second-class demonic world tinged with black light.
Even among them, there are those who barely returned from that hell alive.
That’s why I was able to realize how terrible the black magic scene was.
“Are you sure? If you have to risk your life for that word. Can you hang it?”
“Wow, that’s for sure. I saw it myself and left. The driver who was in charge of me told me to tell the news quickly, to let the outside know about this… .”
“… damn it.”
Brenda spat out a short curse and directed the man to follow him immediately.
After a while, the place where the two arrived was right in front of the wagon that Shien rode on.
“My lord. It is urgent.”
“Urgent?”
“yes. hey. Hurry up and tell the lord.”
“yes yes!”
I don’t know who is in the carriage, and I don’t even know who they are.
However, the sharp and tidy energy felt from the knights.
Given that the procession is far greater than most aristocratic families.
It was the attendant’s idea that it might be a famous family.
“I am an attendant of a nearby estate. I was training near the territory… .”
Shien listened quietly with the carriage window open.
When I heard the part that the demonic realm finally appeared and it was full of black light.
rattle-.
Shien immediately opened the door and went outside, calling the knights.
As soon as the knights knelt at the call, the order was given.
“You must remember the territories you passed on while coming here, right?”
“Of course, my lord.”
“Get into groups of two and spread this news to each manor. If you mention Lichtenauer by name, they will take action immediately without question.”
What about the moment attendant? I looked at Shien, who unknowingly left the carriage.
If I’m not mistaken, I said Lichtenauer.
A family with a reputation as a master of swordsmanship along with Fiore.
Knights once said that they dreamed of entering there as a knight.
According to rumors, there are many knights with very strong skills… .
‘Hey, good luck! To meet people from Lichtenau!’
The words “I live now” seemed to come out naturally.
The knights of Lichtenau would surely be able to help him.
If so, people in my hometown are more likely to survive.
“And Captain Brander?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“If you go a little further from here, you will find the Imperial Army stationed near the border. We go there and spread the word and move with them.”
“I will take your order.”
Contrary to expectations, however, Lihetenauer hurriedly prepared to move.
At that moment, the attendant was embarrassed and was about to open his mouth.
As if he had expected that, Shien opened his mouth first.
“I understand your feelings. One o’clock must be urgent. But didn’t I say that the color of the demonic spectacle was black? It is said that it is a second-class demonic world. Level 2 is not a simple monster subjugation. It literally means ‘war’. It’s not something that will end in one day.”
After saying that, Shien looked at Brender.
Brenda also nodded as if agreeing with the words of the head of the household.
“You move with us. You need to know the way to your estate. We need someone who knows the geography of this neighborhood. Right now, I’m only thinking about what’s right in front of my eyes. Got it?”
“Eh, yes. All right.”
After telling the other knights to take good care of them.
Brenda sneaked up to Shien’s side and said,
“You made the right choice.”
“Even if it was only level 3, how would I go to help right away? It’s not level 2. I know that much.”
Still, unlike the 3rd grade demons that a manor can take charge of and fight.
For level 2 demons, several territories must be united, or the Imperial Army must be mobilized.
This is because the number of monsters, starting with the strength of the monsters, changes drastically.
A 4th or 5th grade demon that can be subjugated even with well-trained soldiers.
If the knights were added to it, it was different from the 3rd grade demonic world that could be easily eliminated.
Even though all of Lichtenau’s elite were mobilized in the past.
The placenta was killed by the Demonic Beasts pouring out of the 2nd grade demon scene.
Among them, even the head of the household and the successor were included, so what more do I need to say?
“I will also go to my seat and hurry to prepare for departure.”
After going back to your seat up to Brenda.
Shortly thereafter, Adele, who had been away for a while, returned.
“Adele. Did you hear the news?”
“… yes. I heard it a little while ago. It’s a second-class demon.”
It’s a lie. Actually I didn’t hear anything.
All I know is that the atmosphere is hideous.
Even so, the reason why Adele knew exactly about the appearance of the second-class Demonic World.
A little while ago, I felt an unusual energy and went around the area.
And in the meantime, I caught a very familiar and disgusting energy.
‘Black color. Level 2 demon.’
Having come to a conclusion, Adele went straight back to Shien.
He may not know it, but to others, the Black Magical Land is hell itself.
No, it must be something more terrible and vicious than hell.
“I have made a decision. to leave immediately And to find the Imperial Army not far away.”
“Is that so.”
“I had a desire to help right away. At least I tried to take care of the survivors who ran away. However, that doesn’t guarantee the safety of everyone here. So I gave up.”
Even though Adele didn’t ask for an explanation, Shien explained why she made that decision.
He continued to explain that part over and over again.
Perhaps, in that way, to relieve the hesitation in my heart.
Even though I don’t have to care at all, it bothers me so much.
It was an action to take action to prevent myself from reversing my decision.
As expected, he is a person who shines differently from others.
Thinking so, Adele listened to Xien’s words and answered.
“It was a wise decision. There is no room for the knights here.”
Even the knights of the imperial family had a hard time with the 2nd grade Demonic Views and 2nd Grade Magic Beasts.
That much, but for the knights of Lichtenau, of course, defeat was self-evident.
Even if the skills between the two knights were roughly the same, even if it was given that way.
There is a difference in the number that can be mobilized in battle right away.
The knight next to Shien is now a little over twenty.
In contrast, during the Great War in the past, the entire Imperial Knights moved.
Even if the difference in numbers is not enough, it should be seen that it is more than 5 times.
“I’m leaving, Shien-nim.”
It was a very peaceful return road just a moment ago.
How did it come to such a terrible and tense moment?
Xian looked at the sky that was gradually becoming darker.
Please, everyone prayed for the body castle to return home.
* * *
“Welcome, Lord Lichtenauer. My name is Runnstadt, Commander of the 7th Army of the Imperial Army.”
The Imperial Army seemed to have heard the news somewhere.
When Shien arrived, they were already in full swing preparing for battle.
“Thank you for the hospitality, Commander Runnstadt.”
Shien lightly bowed his head, and the knights under his command.
Then Runstadt waved his hand and told him not to do that.
There are knights under me too, and half of them respect Lichtenauer very much.
The family head of such a place came, but he said that he would be very embarrassed if he lowered his head like this.
‘… It’s a little different from nobles.’
Looking at the commander’s appearance, Brenda thought so.
The nobles tended to subtly look down on Shien because of her birth.
On the other hand, the figures of the Imperial Army did not show such an appearance at all.
Was it because he had experience in fighting directly with the demons?
Whatever it was, it was a good thing for Shien.
“I heard from a survivor on the way. If you don’t mind, I want to help.”
“Excuse me. Rather, I would have liked to ask for it. In fact, I was in a very awkward position because of the lack of knights. If you would like to help, I would like to say thank you so much.”
“I am willing. And the news was delivered to the nearby manor. Soon, preparations will be made in each territory and reinforcements will be sent. I don’t know the situation in the west, but if I look at a case like the north… .”
“It is correct to send reinforcements to the nearby Imperial Army. It’s all the same. thank you.”
Someone else did what he had to do, a guest from the north who was not even from the west.
Regarding him, the commander said that he was grateful and ashamed.
“It is embarrassing. A second-class Demonic Land appeared again.”
“Again, what do you mean?”
“In fact, a second-class Demonic Landscape appeared in the vicinity not too long ago.”
“It is strange. 2nd grade demons in a row… .”
The reason why the empire declared the end of the great war and victory.
Starting from the middle of the Great War, the number of second-class demons that appeared every day decreased.
And instead, the main ones were the 4th and 5th grade demons.
From nob le mt l. co m
Many people who saw that phenomenon said that even the monsters were exhausted after all.
It was believed that the limit came before the empire.
Even the monsters that actually appeared were much weaker than before.
So what happened in Liechtenau was a bigger tragedy.
A second-class demon scene that had disappeared suddenly appeared.
The monsters were strong enough to overwhelm even the elite members of the family.
“It is a very strange thing. Lately, the frequency of second-class demon spectacles has been increasing, and rumors are circulating that demon beasts are bigger and stronger than before.”
“It’s the first time I’ve heard such a story.”
“It’s something that happened recently. Less than half a year.”
The moment Commander Runenstadt said that and scratched his forehead as if he was in trouble.
Adele’s eyes, standing behind Shien, began to emit a quiet light.
