Homecoming(4)

Back in the conference room, we laid out a map and organized the situation.

The forces that declared war on the territory were the Allied Forces of 5 families, including the Viscount Green.

All of them are barons and viscounts, so they can’t be considered high-ranking, but… they still possess prosperous estates.

Even though they are small in size, it is not easy for five families to unite.

I felt a clear malice and direction in their proclamation.

Like the attempted assassination of Elpentus, there seems to be a dark curtain behind it.

“I don’t know the author of Green, but the other families didn’t have much contact with El Cloud.”

“… they’re after me.”

Elena, who was sitting next to me, spoke as if blaming herself, but I didn’t care because it wasn’t particularly new.

In the declaration of war they sent, it was written to free Elena… but if you let her go straight, what will happen to you?

‘Perhaps he will kill Elena and then put it on me.’

It’s only natural for them to come out like this…

For those who do not know the circumstances, it is as if Eshas had condoned Elena’s murder.

It was obvious what she would do if she was kicked out of the royal palace.

Pretending not to listen to her, a maid continues to organize the situation.

“Since the name is the alliance of five families, only the elites of each family will be selected and attacked.”

“If you mobilize 10 people per family, it’s 50 people…”

“That’s a minimum, and one hundred people should come.”

The problem is that all 100 of them are summoners.

The fortress does not use non-summoner troops in war.

A single C-rank summoner handled by the summoners can easily defeat the adult long-legged threenuts.

Moreover, the higher the rank, the greater the power gap.

If there is at least one A-rank summoned on the other side, there are no ordinary soldiers.

Even if you mobilize your troops at the most, if a summoned beast starts slaughtering it, it will run away in an instant.

Of course, if the situation is urgent, we can mobilize Youngji residents.

But such a lord doesn’t last long.

It is the right and duty of the summoning nobles to participate in war.

To hand it over to the common people means that they are in a corner.

There are only five troops here, including Uncle Henry.

Facing the overwhelming numerical inferiority, the handmaiden asked me quietly.

“Are you going to just kill me?”

“I heard that there was a great uprising last time…”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done one more time.”

The waitress was serious.

Elena raises the volume as I can’t seem to approve it.

“I’m doing that because of me? It’ll just be resolved if I go…”

“No. It’s not because of Elena-sama. It’s because they ignored us.”

“yes?”

Elena asks a question with her eyes wide open.

I sighed a little and said.

“You’ve been fighting, knowing that we’re protecting Elena-sama. The name of El Cloud doesn’t frighten them.”

“That’s right! If you give Elena to me, I don’t know what else I’ll ask for next!”

“You’re looking very funny at us.”

First of all, look at the declaration of war we’ve only been here less than a day.

They must have prepared this case in advance.

The date of the attack recorded in the proclamation was only two days later.

Given the time it takes to move and assemble, that means we’ll get rid of it before we’re ready.

Modern warfare revolves around a small number of summoners, so it can come and go like this.

Since El Cloud Castle is currently in a state of disrepair, we must face our enemies on the plains.

There is a way to bring it to the city, but the damage to citizens will increase tremendously.

Traffic, including trains, has already been blocked.

If nothing else, the track belongs to the Duke of Welttern, and he touched it well.

It seems that he has a reliable yet scary background.

Elfriede, who was communicating with the family, looked at everyone’s eyes and said.

“Your father gave orders to Viscount Green, but he doesn’t listen at all.”

“I can’t help it. If it had stopped like that, I wouldn’t have even started.”

“Hey, since we’re sending reinforcements from Beltern, let’s delay defense first…”

“No. Please wait for now. Thank you, but I’ll only ask for rear support.”

When I shook my head in refusal, Elfriede and Elena’s eyes widened as well.

Deputy Youngju, who had been rolling with his feet for a while, looked like he was about to faint.

However, I have no intention of borrowing the power of Beltern already.

If you intervene from there, even if you win this battle, it will be a victory for Beltern.

“Well, shall we call the Youngji people then?”

The lord’s deputy, who barely understood my order, carefully suggested it.

He’s not from here, so it wouldn’t be strange to run away right now…

I am more faithful to my job than it looks.

Or you don’t even have the guts to throw away your royal duties and run away.

Without thinking long, I shook my head again.

“No. Deputy lord, I will call you when necessary, so please leave for a while.”

“Ah… I see.”

Deputy Youngju leaves the conference room with an anxious expression.

As soon as the unnecessary ears disappeared, I gave Sylvia an order.

“Sylvia. Start with the unicorn right now and kill these two guys. Can you do it?”

“A unicorn’s speed is enough. How about the one you drew?”

“He breaks it from the front.”

We talked and thought, but…

It is a waste of manpower not to assassinate before the war.

I’m sorry I made Sylvia kill someone, but I can’t help it.

It won’t be easy since we’ve already entered the exhibition state, but with the help of unicorns, it will be possible.

The waitress nodded her head and responded with satisfaction.

“Leave my master’s escort mission to me, and make sure you succeed.”

“If you think it’s dangerous, you can change the target or come back. We’re very short of numbers…”

“No. I will definitely succeed.”

Sylvia, fully equipped, disappeared out of the window.

As if the assassination had already been successful, the handmaiden who erased the names of 2 out of 5 families.

My thoughts came to El Cloud’s mansion outside the city.

“I think the battle will be held here… Is the El Cloud Mansion okay?”

“Since it’s far away from the battlefield, it shouldn’t be a problem. There are some traps nearby… Just in case, we bring vassals to the city hall.”

“trap?”

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Just like Elfriede, who murmured suspiciously.

I was a little surprised.

I thought the maid-in-law would insist that the graves of her parents be protected, but it was Ki-woo.

but. The enemies are clearly targeting me and Elena.

Otherwise, we would not have declared war as soon as we returned to the territory.

If the purpose was simply to avenge his anger, he would have just waited until the short vacation was over before attacking.

Persia, who was trembling with half excitement and half worry, said cautiously.

“But isn’t it too proudly attacking from the other side? There’s an SS-ranked Medusha older sister here, and the master’s magic power is also well-known at the academy…”

“Stupid fox. If the army over there is at least 100 summoners, do you think 100 people are funny?”

“Still, it seems that there is a certain corner to believe. Let’s be careful just in case you don’t know.”

The abilities they showed during the Elpentus assassination attempt were not common.

Although all of the perpetrators were killed or arrested… again, there is no guarantee that they will not come out.

That’s why I couldn’t completely reject the reinforcements of the Duke of Beltern.

The intention is to keep it in the rear and use it if it becomes even a little disadvantageous.

Elfriede and Medusha are here, so the Duke must help me unconditionally.

“The more I think about this, the more suspicious I get… What kind of confidence is that?”

Isn’t it too obvious that the Duke of Beltern will come to the aid?

As Viscount Green is a vassal of the Duke, he must be well aware of his circumstances and capabilities…

This isn’t a fire moth.

The attack is very fast, but not so much that it can’t be countered.

We continued the operation meeting until late at night, and as soon as the next morning came, we were able to receive the news.

“Viscount Helon died. Summoners who were scheduled to participate in the war all returned to the lord’s castle.”

“Sylvia did what she did. Unicorn bastard, it’s a lot faster than a train because you’ve made up your mind.”

“Even so, he’s an A-rank racing pet.”

Viscount Helon had three sons and two daughters.

The head of the family died suddenly, so for the time being, he will be busy fighting for the successor.

He’s not in a state where he can arrogantly seek revenge.

Elena had a lot of things to say on her face, but she held it back because she could read the atmosphere.

Deputy Young-ju, who spent the night in nervousness, enters the restaurant with a bright expression.

“Lord. The Westwall and White Houses are willing to send reinforcements…”

“Oh, it’s okay. I’m just taking my heart.”

Unlike the nearby Beltern, it will be difficult to arrive on time.

Nor is there a gate for ultra-long-distance transmission in the Count of El Cloud.

If you go through the Duchy of Beltern, you may be able to barely send a few people away.

We had a quick breakfast and toured the battlefield with Uncle Henry.

The vassals of the mansion have already been housed in the city hall.

A cool autumn wind swept past the meadow that was going to become a sea of blood.

It was flat overall, but there was a hill where Medusha could sit.

By evening, another Allied Baron was killed.

Two of the heads of the leadership were blown away, but there was no sign of withdrawal.

There is also something.

With that in mind, I summoned Sylvia.

The assassination cannot proceed because the enemy has already assembled.

“It’s enough. Come back and rest.”

Reconnaissance using Elfriede’s summoned beast.

There was a farmhouse nearby, so they used to evacuate the residents and spend the night.

I know I need to rest, but I can’t close my eyes.

Guilt, excitement, and anger run through my heart.

At least I’m grateful for the summons who don’t show even an inch of hesitation.

When the time that seemed like eternity was over, and when the dawn burned the meadows.

Elfriede, who was squatting next to Medusha’s bed, reported the reconnaissance results.

“Lou, Lewis. They’re starting to move. The number is about 100. All cavalry.”

“Two families withdrew, and that’s about it?”

“It must have been that he was in a hurry, so he brought all the gossips. Let’s all go out!”

Out of the farmhouse with Medusha’s cry.

When I sat on the hill I had been paying attention to yesterday, the ground shook a little.

The enemies have already deployed their summons.

The Duke of Beltern’s reinforcements also arrived nearby.

I did not expect much and made an ultimatum to the Black Army.

All 100 of them are cavalry, so they look bigger than their head.

“Your side has invaded the Count of El Cloud without permission! If you don’t go back right now…”

A ball of fire that flies before I can even finish my words.

Even considering the declaration of war, it is very reckless.

While Ethel waved her hand to erase it, Medusha summoned the snake.

Thanks to the fact that the owner of the service has descended as a real god, he is now a real god.

“Earl Elcloud! I will avenge Newton by beheading you!”

“Give up His Majesty Elena right now!”

Eventually, the enemy shouted a little late.

Of course, there is no sign of wanting an answer.

It’s just reciting the obvious excuse one more time.

Without waiting any longer, I raised the Black Dragon’s Great Bow.

“Where once…”

“Louis, let’s start!”

Medusha, perched above the snake’s head, used a petrified gaze with a very ferocious expression.

An eye beam that easily travels a distance that even an arrow cannot reach.

Although it spreads too widely, the power is reduced, but pets with rank B or lower will be stunned.

The moment when the enemy’s summoners hardened their bodies. A red hot ray rises from the rear of the ranks and faces the light of Medusha’s eyes.

“Ah, that’s…”

“I thought I was like this.”

There was also a place to believe.

I clicked my tongue slightly as I watched the phoenix soar with a big fan in the middle of the enemy camp.

Russell, who had been missing since the academy attack, walked out next to the Viscount painted by Russell and grinned.

The Viscount drawn has an expression as if he was caught on a leash.

“traitor!”

“Leave it to me. Sylvia, escort your master.”

“Yes, maid.”

With a hardened face, the handmaiden with her sword pulled forward strode forward.

Dozens of additional summoned beasts appear on the wide plain.
