2 days later.
Currently, I am sitting enclosed by a desk in a windowless and heavily guarded room.
This is because Yunikram and Caroline who was out on official business throughout came back.
Thinking about where they went for as long as 2 months, it seems that they have gone to do an investigation beforehand for the fort attack.
And today, a strategy meeting was held based on the information from the 2 of them.
Moved by Rithina just the other day, it’s this as soon as I had decided to participate in the fort attack.
It’s really a perfectly managed schedule.
Or was it according to plan?
Haaa.
No, let’s stop with the regret of my past decision.
Now, I should return to the corresponding situation now.
Anyway, let’s concentrated on the strategy meeting now. .
———-
Gauge fort.
It is a place approximately a week south from the Imperial capital, and was formerly an important site for defense against the invading tribes and demons from even further south.
However, after the unification of the southern parts, the fort which had finished it duty seemed to have become a hub for traffic now.
All of a sudden, demons seemed to have invaded there.
———-
They appear to be demons coming from the large forest in the south.
The purpose is unknown.
Around the location of gauge fort…… demons targeting the Imperial Capital especially are sent out sporadically.
Because the scale is too small to be called an invasion of the demon king troops, it seems that there was no relation to the demon king forces.”
Yunikram stands before something like a blackboard installed in the inner part of the room and explains the situation.
It is relatively close to the Imperial Capital, and is an hub for traffic of the southern area now.
Because such a place has been occupied by demons, it was bad within and out of the country, and there is a need for an immediate action.
Initially a subjugation unit was dispatched, and although apparently they had tried to recapture it, somehow in an unfortunate event, the leader of the demons occupying the fort is a demon race.
Thus, the subjugation unit at that time is annihilated.
At the point of trying to recall the hero who was on a pilgrimage around the country, he was beaten up in Torres by another demon race, and had decided to undergo training.
Huh?
Come to think of it, Laurier was born in the forest to the south.
“Hey, Laurier. Do you happen to know the demon race occupying this fort?”
“…..Fuee?
N? Nn〜….. What are you talking about?”
This fellow, she fell asleep.
“……It seems that a demon race has occupied the fort to the south.
And that fellow appears to have came from the large forest in the south.
You, I think you were born in the forest of the south?
Do you know something ab……”
“I do not know it!”
