Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 565
[565[Tuesday] If five people gather together...
The battle is smooth..
However, because the beings disguised as allies are greedy, things are not going smoothly internally. For other people, it's okay to just curse and treat them like trash, but Ragnis is in a position where he can't be treated cleanly with that..
This large-scale operation was carried out in her name, not the hero or the princess..
"I really want to break the crystal ball."
Inside the command center, where everyone except Lenisa had left after the meeting, these were the first words uttered by Ragnis, who was looking at the ceiling, leaning against the back of his chair like laundry hanging from a chair..
"That's an extreme statement, lady.."
The allied forces of Itisel and the Empire advance, followed by reinforcements from the Kingdom Alliance, and control and manage excessive rear bases and occupied areas. And reports accordingly are received regularly through a communication crystal ball..
What made the initially thoughtless plan quickly feel like a garbage plan was the voice of the volunteers asserting their achievements and rights at each regular reporting session..
"You can't break the heads of those damn kids beyond that crystal ball.."
Ragnis was on edge, but... honestly, this time, even Lenisa had no choice but to accept it..
The reinforcements called the Kingdom Alliance continued to walk a tightrope day after day. They try to attack demon villages that are not resisting at all under the pretext of being suspicious, or try to request conscription from small towns when they do not really need additional supplies, etc. They are frantically trying to find new ways to inflate their pockets and accumulate achievements every day..
It was a common behavior in bad wars, but of course it shouldn't be done here..
This is not just a simple land grab, but a great war for the fate of the race..
They managed to get a clue from the structure of a war between humans and demons and set the stage for a war between evil god worshipers and the continent, but because of some humans who were blinded by self-interest, it was impossible to leave room for discord..
The only consolation is that the worst has not happened yet, thanks to the confident contact with the crystal sphere before taking such action and the attitude of 'So, let's start from now on.' Everything else is bad.
In the end, Ragnis was sick of seeing this happen over and over again for three days straight, so he sent all the dragon knights and wizards stationed as Levien's defense forces into two-man patrol teams..
At first, some people were concerned that it might be too much. But it didn't take more than a day for me to realize that it was a wise choice..
An insane nobleman who felt that it was impossible to take action after taking action first tried to take action after taking action first, but was stopped by a dragon knight..
Thanks to this, the entire command team had to work hard to stop Ragnis, who was going on a rampage with his three hundred eyes open and threatening to kill him with his own hands, and the entire unit was dissatisfied and distrustful of the torturers called reinforcements..
"I'll be honest. She didn't understand why Eldmia was so eager to pull out her sword whenever she had a reason, but I think she understands now.."
It's cute when a member of the aristocracy acts condescendingly while looking after their own interests. It was nothing more than a confrontation between educated, well-educated people who did not agree on their opinions. They were so bottom that you might wonder if they were the same nobles, and their ideas and actions were beyond imagination in many ways..
They're nobles, but what's the difference between them and thieves??
"This is why Esmuët gave up command.."
They are not the ones who moved because they recognized the threat of the Demon King's army from the beginning. They just crawled out from the inland to pick up the crumbs of the pie, thinking that the war would soon end as the Empire launched a large-scale offensive..
There is a reason why they first asked for their command rights to be guaranteed to those who came to help. It was the imperial family, not the royal family, that put that claim to rest at once..
[We will guarantee the command of those participating in the Eastern Front. However, the command authority of those who assist Margrave Lévien as an occupation force cannot be recognized. The empire there also yielded command to the royal family of Itisel and Margrave Levien..]
'I also bowed my head, but how dare you raise your head?' In the face of a statement full of intent, the Kingdom Alliance kept its mouth shut as if it had never been like that before..
At the time, it was just a statement that I passed by without much thought, but now it has become a personal letter that I am so thankful for that I feel grateful every time I see it..
I hate to admit it, but.
"Will this pain continue until we reach Sor?...?"
"Well, I don't know. To be honest, I thought I would give up after repeating it a few times, but because of that incident,..."
"After the damn preemptive action, you bastard..."
Lenisa had habitually tried to warn Ragnis, who was grinding his teeth to the point where she thought he might break, but she soon sighed and decided to leave him alone for a while..
Right now, Renisa herself was calling that person a bastard in private with other knights. Ragnis' anger couldn't last long anyway..
-profit!
A distant whistle signaled the arrival of her new assignment..
"It looks like the scouting party has returned.."
"...It's faster than expected."
There is only one reason why the return of the flying dragon knight to determine the enemy's location is faster than expected..
"There was about a week left to go to Sor.?"
"It was like that just a moment ago."
Feeling like his fatigue wasn't going away, Ragnis got up and left the command center while washing his face..
Ragnis sighed deeply as he looked around at the drake knights approaching across the clear sky, which was the complete opposite of his gloomy mood, and the soldiers busily moving around the camp, and tried to move to the place where the drake knights returning from scouting would land..
A completely unexpected sight was captured in her field of vision..
"...Leica?"
The sight of a dog crossing the camp alone while receiving the gazes of countless soldiers, casually holding a two-handed ax in its mouth that was several times larger than its own body and seemingly burdensome, made me feel an emotion that was difficult to describe..
Everyone already knows that Laika is not an ordinary dog..
In fact, no one treats Laika like a mere dog because he has been seen traveling through the battlefield with Asilier so often. So even if she wanders alone sometimes, she doesn't even care, thinking she will return to her owner on her own..
But that was only when I accompanied Asilier. The sight of a huge ax of unknown origin moving around like a light bone is bound to attract attention..
And Ragnis, who knew the source of the axe, was no exception. He has some business to do, so he takes that thing in his mouth and heads to the vacant lot where the flying dragons are gathered.?
"What, why is he going to the station??"
What I was thinking without realizing it didn't come out of my mouth..
Siegfried, who heard the long whistle and predicted what was going to happen like Ragnis, came out yawning and found Laika and spoke..
Ragnis shook his head, feeling that his strange sense of distance was similar to that of Eldmia, who seemed to be grumpy like at the academy but still treated him properly as a superior..
"I didn't know either so I was about to go.."
Did Asilier order him to run an errand?.
If it had been an ordinary dog, it would have been an untenable hypothesis, but since it was a Laika, it became a not a strange question..
Ragnis, who suddenly started walking with Siegfried, arrived at the clearing, almost killing the soldiers who occasionally looked back and forth between him and Siegfried with strange looks..
And as soon as I arrived at the clearing, I approached the Drake of Eldmia and burst into laughter when I saw him leaning against the creature's body with his ax propped up..
No matter where I looked, I couldn't see Asilier, but Laika didn't care and moved around and succeeded in capturing another drake manager..
Although he was a confused manager at first, he quickly realized Laika's intentions..
After much whining with the other managers, he was able to tie Eldmia's two-handed ax to the dragon's saddle, and the sight of Laika shaking his buttocks repeatedly brought smiles to the faces of others..
Everyone thought it was a heartwarming sight that made them forget even the tension of the battlefield for a moment..
"Wow, is something like that possible? I think I should try raising a pet too.."
Ragnis also had a similar sentiment at Siegfried's words and smiled as if he was astonished, but he had to tilt his head because of the dragon's subsequent actions..
When the manager stepped back and Leica reached his feet, the guy moved one foot and carefully held Leica as if it were natural....
"uh?"
It started to flap its wings.
"Uh oh!?"
The manager, who was smiling happily after completing his work, was the first to react, but that was all he did..
"Stop it! Stop me from flying!"
Before everyone could jump in surprise, the flying dragon, unlike other flying dragons, launched itself with just a couple of whistles, kicked off the ground, and took off in an instant..
It flew so fast that even though it was caught by its feet, Laika's face, which was panting with its tongue out as if it had no idea what was going on in the world, was still visible like an afterimage..
Everyone who was unable to stop the flying dragon's sudden action stopped as if they were frozen, and then very slowly shifted their gaze towards the supreme commander present..
"...haha."
Despite witnessing an unprecedented catastrophe, Ragnis was somehow smiling..
