Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 513
[513Tue] Children of Sero Lipiti
Soha Shinore tilted his head as he looked at Birair's defenses, which had completely collapsed on one side..
I'm not curious why the castle was destroyed like that. It was because of the information the unit members were gathering and reporting while he was looking inward and organizing his thoughts..
"Warrior?"
"yes."
Eldmia.
A human race that is said to be a hero in the Demon God Church. The report that someone who must have been on the front lines suddenly appeared in a corner of the Demon Territory was a story that was difficult to understand..
"The evidence is?"
"It's unclear. Those who are presumed to have witnessed it in person have all participated in the church's procession. The rumor that was expected to be the first eyewitness account that could be found was said by Emmett, an advisor to Birrear, and did not deny it in any way.."
"It looks fake."
Would the Demon God Cult put up a fake hero even if it was just for the sake of survival? Soha seriously thought while looking at the adjutant's expression full of meaning..
"There are no reports of hearing the sound of a flute.."
"ah!"
It is already confirmed that Eldmia is the flute knight who has become Levien's nightmare. And as its nickname suggests, it is as famous for the whistle it makes when using special magic tools as it is for its abilities..
There are stories that they were human, but there are more testimonies that they were unable to see their faces because they wore helmets, and although it is rare for them to come out in person, there were telegrams that they were still consistently appearing with the warriors of the empire..
Although it does not show the majesty it showed at first, considering that the 'divine punishment' that turned the battlefield upside down was caused by a fragment of the sword thrown by the guy, it is a situation where it has no choice but to take a break due to using too much strength. It's not really strange because I was able to see it..
It's quite possible that he appeared here under camouflage at the front, but at this point, that hypothesis seemed to be making light of the situation..
"It might be more correct to say that the church was hiding a secret trick.."
In the empty Rengi, all the magic tools planted in Epaga Sierra were destroyed, and the erosion body that was thought to be sufficient was destroyed. A huge amount of sacred power was released from the garrison, and there were even traces of the terrain being plowed..
Soha, who was almost angry at the fact that this was the result of ignoring the movement of the cult's army while investigating the traces, shook off his emotions with a sigh and continued speaking step by step..
"And wouldn't it be more reasonable to say that he received help from an insider along with his secret weapon? Count Birrear is innocent, but Advisor Emmett is different.?"
Miser Emmett Rell Otnock.
Although his nickname was generally known, among high-ranking wizards he was called Otnog the Whimsical..
He worked as a professor of magic, worked as a mercenary, and sat in a random village and gave advice like a reclusive sage, but when he came to his senses, he quietly settled down in a corner and conducted research. His greatest eccentricity was his simmering caprice. Because it was.
They say it's a whim that has its own reasons... but a whim is still a whim.
"Birrare just held on for a particularly long time. He took a pay cut so maybe it was time for him to move on.."
Who knew it would be now?.
If you really wanted to hold him accountable, you could point out Count Birrere, who ransomed the ransom of the wizard who has been the advisor to the territory for three generations just to show off his extravagance, but he is the type of person who will fall apart anyway. Now was the time to gather all arrows to rebuke the denomination in one place to maximize their effectiveness, not to divide them..
"How much do I feel like I missed it??"
"...I think we would have been nearly 20 days behind even if we couldn't do it.."
I wondered if it was possible to miss out on a large-scale movement of about 20,000 people, but unfortunately, the Demon Territory had as many unexplored areas as the frontiers, and it was full of monsters. No matter how large the army was, it was not easy to follow the traces if they gritted their teeth and erased traces of certain sections and went off the road..
So I found out late that I was heading to Birae. In the meantime, they rested for four days before moving on, and three weeks have passed without any reports of them showing up anywhere..
It was ridiculous. Unless you have entered the territory of beasts..
"...Anyway, that's not it."
Even though the demons control a corner of the continent that can be called a demon territory, respecting the beast people's territory and treating it as an inviolable territory is not simply out of politeness. This is because the race of beastmen, who are united in one place based on their innate instincts and physical abilities, are a threat too great to be ignored, and at the same time serve as a good breakwater..
And the being that had to use them as a breakwater was by no means friendly to the demons. Rather, if the cult entered the territory of beasts, they would all die on their own..
"Just follow the traces. There's nothing to do here."
The adjutant standing behind Soha, who calmly gave orders and turned away from the palace as if he had lost interest, quietly asked a question..
"What should I do with Birrare??"
Treatment of ‘traitors’ who turned their backs on the Demon King’s army and defended the church. However, Soha could not help but burst into laughter at the adjutant's question..
"What more can I do here??"
Birere is not a big city, but it is not small by any means..
But now, less than half of the people left in the city. Most of them were merchants or people who were afraid to leave their homeland..
Those who would follow the denomination have already left. Even if you kill them as an example, only backlash will remain..
"Make it clear that you don't even think about using it as an excuse to send it to the military.."
Rather, if we do this, those who try to cooperate with the denomination in a vague way will not appear..
Soha turned his head from the adjutant who bowed to his orders and walked away, looking at the empty city and the half-ruined gate under the gloomy sky..
Really, I didn't like everything..
◈
The gloomy, gloomy sky seems to represent my current mood..
"Looks like shit."
Of course that didn't happen, so it's probably just the weather messing with me. While I was shaking her head to distract herself from the unpleasant smell coming from her body because she had not washed it for too long, Saint Deoni came closer to me..
"Hero. You must use vocabulary that sets an example for believers.."
Then, even though he was very tired, he gently tackled me..
In fact, what I just said was so close to myself that only the saint next to me could hear it, but she was someone who advocated an extremely correct argument that we should be careful even in the smallest of places, so it wasn't anything new. I answered, smiling at her as her dark circles deepened..
"Assuming that this is the result of not only being angry at injustice and rejoicing at justice, but also expressing this on the outside by showing both front and back without any discrepancy, one can think that it is an example of words and actions not only for believers but also for everyone. Wouldn't it be?"
"...Dog, hmm, hmm. It's sophistry."
"You were just about to say bullshit.?"
"no. It was a cough."
The saintess was slightly blushing as she made lame excuses, but honestly, she was probably thinking the same thing as me. It's not that I'm like an incarnation of both the front and the back, but the fact that this is really fucking shit right now..
After a long forced march in which it felt like a miracle that no one was left behind, we have now entered the territory of the beasts..
3Since they lived on the streets and moved repeatedly for nearly a week, no one could avoid becoming a beggar, but no one died or gave up. It's no joke, it's amazing that not a single person was left behind. The story that maybe Epaga is giving us some strength is spreading among people..
However, it was only for a moment that we felt a little joy at something that we could not tell whether it was a miracle or a spirit. Soon after we entered the territory of the beast, we found ourselves in a tense confrontation with those who appeared as if they had been waiting for us..
I wouldn't have been particularly nervous if I had just encountered it. However, the problem was that more than 20,000 people surrounded us from behind, not from the front..
They are all combatants, but more than half of us are civilians. If a fight breaks out, you are always at a disadvantage..
"Who is Eldmia Egar who claims to be the friend and benefactor of the beasts in the name of Krul Pitali Bazaso?."
As we stood in silence for a long time, a huge beastman who seemed to be three heads taller than me came forward and opened his mouth..
The wide shoulders and muscular muscles that cannot be fully described with the expression "stocky" look more like armor than the armor worn on top of them. The short, heavy tail seemed to be enough to cause great damage just by swinging it, and the heavy greaves and gauntlets that exposed his fingers and toes as if he didn't need any weapons seemed to speak of how excellent a martial artist he was..
But even when I saw him like that, rather than feeling intimidated, I had to feel a strange affection..
"I am Minoka Toyidi, a child of the great Cero Lipiti and one of the great warriors who guard the sacred land. I have already heard that Eldmia Egar is among you. who is."
The prisoner's face, with thick trapezius muscles as if they had been crumpled from a construction site's steel frame, and resting on his neck, was, of course, a raccoon..
Managing facial expressions is very difficult.
