197 – Territorialism (6)

“So you really plan to launch an all-out attack?”

“Yes. “We’ll attack in a week, so make sure you’re ready before then.”

Paul twisted his face and gritted his teeth.

The sound of teeth grinding was heard along with a bloody sound.

How angry he was was clearly revealed on his face.

But he couldn’t even refute anything.

Now I am the commander-in-chief of the central battlefield.

“A week is too short…”

“What’s there to rush? The supplies came with me, so it’s enough. “From what I heard, there hasn’t been any fighting recently.”

“Do you know how reckless it is to prepare for an all-out attack in just one week?!”

Paul screamed in frustration, but no one agreed with his opinion.

Let alone Eileen, who has already decided to be on my side.

Gilbert also kept his mouth shut.

When it seemed like his opinion would be ignored, Paul couldn’t stand it any longer and got up from his seat.

“I don’t know. “Whether it’s a week or a month, I can’t do it.”

Paul leaves the operation tent.

Erina, who was watching next to her, glared at him as if she was angry.

“That’s enough. “Just let me go.”

You can defeat him by force, but you won’t be able to make him follow his knights.

I had no choice but to leave them to their own devices.

“What do you plan to do now? Are you really planning to give up cooperation with the Crocodile Knights?”

“That’s right. “The remaining people are sufficient.”

“…I will be honest. It’s so reckless. “You look down on fairies and spirits too much.”

Gilbert gave advice in a serious voice.

Although fairies and spirits are weak when viewed individually.

The problem was the overwhelming number, which was far short of all the members of the Knights.

That’s not all. Among them, there were many fairies flying in the sky.

It is said that there are many cases of anomalous attacks using magic.

“You think it’s easy because you’ve never dealt with someone before.”

“…”

“An all-out attack is impossible. “Is it better to apply pressure slowly?”

Everything Gilbert said made sense.

We have never dealt with spirits and fairies.

They are veterans who have guarded the battlefield for several years.

Others might think that I planned the strategy without knowing anything.

But there was a fact they were overlooking.

‘It was the same in the first round.’

Even in the previous episode, they were passive in their assault, focusing on Suva.

Because of this, I was wasting time fighting a war of attrition that didn’t need to be fought.

And only after the Knights of Max, where the protagonist was located, came, they launched an all-out attack.

Most of the achievements are taken away by the protagonist and his party.

And while carrying out the operation, Max died and Erina became the leader of the knights.

After that, she was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the central battlefield.

“My choices do not change. “I’m planning to head to the demon world in the next week.”

“…”

“Let’s prepare by then.”

I also had nothing more to say. I got up from my seat and left the operation tent with my colleagues.

While returning to the personal tent, I made eye contact with numerous knights.

I know everyone is looking at me unfavorably.

I ignored everything and moved busily.

“Master. Are you okay… ?”

Suddenly, Kayla asked me an unexpected question.

I felt no different from usual, and there was no particular pain or discomfort.

Why is she worried about me?

When we got back to the tent, Kayla came closer to me, holding my hand.

“My complexion is not good.”

“I… ?”

“Serica. “Is it okay if I ask for some healing light?”

Immediately, Celica raised her staff and began to shine.

My tense body relaxed with the warmth.

My heart, which had been heavy, became a little lighter.

“Thank goodness. “My color has come back a little.”

Before I knew it, my body became stiff.

It appears that his facial expression was not that good in the eyes of others.

Kayla gently stroked my body and encouraged me.

“Master. Please don’t worry too much. “We can definitely drive out the devil’s army.”

“Kayla is right. “Don’t worry too much.”

“Yes. “I will do my best.”

Everyone was smiling brightly and saying something to give strength.

But except for one person.

“Everyone stay away… !”

The warm atmosphere froze again at the sound of Erina’s voice.

Her gaze shifted to Erina, her smiling expression also hardening.

Erina also did not lose and looked at her colleagues.

“Erina. Now Seohyun…”

“Get off… “Can’t you hear me?”

“But now…”

At least Celica and Tyria tried to stop it.

Kayla said, looking at Erina with her cold eyes.

“Please stop now. Erina.”

“What… ?”

“Don’t you know why Seohyun is suffering?”

Erina slowly began to approach Kayla.

Tyria tried to stop her, but she was pushed away by Erina.

Kayla stayed by my side and didn’t move.

Instead, she blocked her path as if she was trying to protect me.

“What did you just say…” ?”

“Don’t you know how much Seohyun is suffering because of you?”

“This… !”

“Erina. Stop.”

Erina, who was about to raise her fist, was quietly stopped.

Luckily she heard me and stopped her arm.

Her face was full of anger and she raised her voice.

“Seohyun, that bitch killed me first…” !”

“What did you say you would do if I fought?”

Then Erina and Kayla simultaneously looked away with surprised expressions.

Expelled from the party. It was a bit of an old promise, but there was no way I could forget it.

I am now tired of fighting between colleagues.

I think both of them knew that fighting was meaningless.

“Let’s all take a break.”

“Yes…”

“I understand…”

The fight quickly calmed down at my words, and Tyria and Celica looked at each other and approached Kayla’s side.

Even in this situation, they tried to lighten the mood by smiling.

Luckily, Kayla seemed to be feeling better and smiled, even if she had to force herself to do so.

There was no one by Erina’s side to comfort her.

“Erina. Come on.”

“…”

Erina runs up to me and hugs me with a very distressed expression.

As expected, I was the only one who could comfort her.

As expected, Erina was becoming more and more isolated.

From the beginning, he and Kayla were like bitter enemies.

Both Celica and Tyria were having a hard time with her.

In the meantime, I see Erina looking at me happily, her cheeks turning red.

Her heart began to become increasingly heavy.

‘I wanted to see you getting along well with other people.’

The kind and bright Erina I saw before was all a lie.

And now this is her true self.

Although it was bitter, I couldn’t help it. Because she is a character I created.

By the time the fight had stopped and the situation had calmed down.

The guard waiting outside suddenly closed the tent and came inside.

He was drenched in sweat all over and spoke hurriedly while breathing heavily.

“This is a big deal! “I observed the movements of the Demon King’s army from the west!”

How could the devil’s army come in this situation? Still, it was exactly what I wanted.

After calming down his colleagues, he quickly picked up his weapon and prepared for battle.

“Let’s all get ready.”

“I understand. “My lord.”

“…I understand.”

Tyria’s voice strangely became lower.

It seems that she is not at peace as she has to deal with the fairies and spirits that were once with her as enemies.

“Tyria. “Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m OK. “Let’s go quickly.”

At her words, Tyria raised her head and tightened her grip on her weapon.

She had already made up her mind. She couldn’t back down any longer.

***

“Stay calm and stay where you are!”

“The Demon King’s army was discovered 100 meters ahead! “It’s a bunch of chimeras!”

“And the fairies are with us!”

Chimeras and fairies running with a sandstorm from a distant wasteland.

Fortunately, although it was not an elite force, the size of the force was significant.

The knights lined up facing the front and formed a firm defensive line.

It is the optimal defense against the magic of fairies.

However, it was a very vulnerable tactic for Chimera.

“Everyone crowd in! “Don’t fall!”

“Stay in line! “Don’t go too far forward!”

Meanwhile, other knight commanders were busy giving orders to the knights.

The problem is that all three of them are playing separately.

Even though it was the same order, there were three people speaking, so the formation was gradually disorganized.

“I guess we have to step forward.”

“Yes. Why are you hesitating? Let’s go quickly.”

“No. Don’t go far, just stop the chimera. “Leave the spirits to the knights.”

Then Catalina frowned, as if she didn’t like it.

She didn’t say anything, but it seemed like she probably didn’t want to hear me.

It is clear that he will run wild.

I had no intention of stopping him either, so I decided to just leave it alone.

The chimera army is slowly getting closer. In terms of numbers, there were about thirty.

In Helen Village, the guards had a very difficult time with just one horse.

It was an opponent that no one could think of easily, especially if there were around 30 of them.

He approached Eileen, who was giving orders while observing the surrounding situation, and spoke.

“Eileen. “Maintain your defensive formation.”

“Yes. All right.”

“And we will go forward.”

“Yes? But the defense…”

“There is no need for that.”

With those words, we headed to the battlefield.

As each person walked forward holding their weapon, the knights naturally moved out of the way.

As I walked forward, I could see a group of chimeras running towards me without hesitation.

“I’ll take charge of the guy who runs first.”

“What are you talking about? “Whoever kills first is the owner.”

After saying that, Catalina recklessly runs forward.

She followed suit and Malcolm followed suit.

So Catalina began to deal with her Chimera alone.

We watched the others scattering in all directions.

“Kayla, Tyria. Take the left side. Erina and I will take the right side. “Celica stays by my side.”

“Yes. All right!”

As the healing light illuminated the battlefield, the monsters cried out harshly and glared at Celica.

She made Celica step behind me, then drew her sword and released her magic power.

“Erina. Do whatever you feel like.”

“Yes. All right.”

As long as Erina was by my side, I had no reason to lose.

The chimeras that faced each other soon began to scream and struggle.

A huge beam of light coming down from the sky. It’s been a while since I was able to see Erina’s lightning flash.
