Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

After the people gathered, things went smoothly in many ways.

As soon as the procession started, not everyone defended us, but the sight of our neighbors just yesterday banding together and shouting at the top of their voices, ready to hang the lord upside down, must have made such a strong impression that the soldiers, but not the ordinary citizens, soon came to our aid. start taking sides.

Even the soldiers who showed signs of resistance tended to lose their motivation and lay down their weapons by the time they saw the collapsed resistance, the silent resistance, and the soldiers attached to our side, led by Emmet.

It was an understandable reaction. Because they were soldiers, not knights. What they protect is their hometown and family, not the bloodsucking blood of the territory and sucking mosquito cubs and their families.

There may have been people loyal to the lord somewhere in the castle, but most of them have already turned to Epaga-nim’s side for a long time. Thanks to this, we were able to head to the outer gate without difficulty, except for a few cuts in between.

By that time most of the townsfolk had already joined our ranks in the middle of the night. The speed of movement slowed down little by little due to the gradually increasing number of parties, but for the enemy, these crowds were much more effective than violence, so they were willing to slow down.

“Hero! Where are you…?”

As I walked leisurely in line with the gradually slowing ranks, the knights of the ambush team appeared on the other side. Looking at the blood dripping from the sword even now, it must have been a battle while moving to help me.

No matter how you look at it, there are at least 30 knights. Even if he swung his sword just once, he would be busy realizing the gap and running away, but he never thought he would fight back.

“You worked hard. I almost solved it.”

Still, the first priority was to praise the hard work of the allies, so when I said it with sincerity, the gazes of the knights stopped walking with very mysterious expressions and wandered between the people and Emmet.

“…what happened?”
“Um, well…?”

It was impossible to say that the problem was solved with the power of capitalism, with crowds obsessed with justice and faith behind the horse, so the words thrown out seemed to only amplify the questions of the knights, let alone answer.

◈

Deoni, who was running at the head of the army and using her body strengthened by the Holy Law, tilted her head as she saw the door to the outside castle burst open.

There were no wizards in the Raiding Team, but that was definitely magic.

I remembered that Eldmia said that she was also learning magic, but she was learning it by focusing on theory. He wouldn’t be able to use magic on such a large scale yet, so he couldn’t understand why.

If the enemy wizard is free, it means that the demon king’s army has been contacted, so there was a setback in the plan. But if that was the case, another flare would have already crossed the sky.

“Anyway, if you go with the warrior, you’ll lose your mind.”

It seems like something is going well, but it is a series of variables. Deoni clucked her tongue as she watched the four knights emerge through the ruins of what they could no longer call a castle gate, so shattered and shattered.

It was clear that the family of Earl Birair was placed on their shoulders like a burden, but there was no figure of Eldmia anywhere. Fortunately, the old knight in the lead briefly and quickly explained the situation before new questions arose.

“The hero is fighting a wizard!”

I could understand it without the subject, but at the same time it was difficult to understand. Is the operation still successful?

“Where are the others!”
“I have moved to support the warrior! My troops are annihilated! There is no way to stop the enemy from entering the army!”

The explanation was sufficient, and not only she but others understood.

As the other knights running in the lead waved their way, those who ran with all their might through magical powers or spells moved like cavalry soldiers and opened the way for those who ran with prisoners.

While the people of the count family, who had been abducted by the raiding party and screaming, split left and right and kept their mouth shut as they watched those passing by them like war horses, the knight next to Deoni gave orders to the troops in perfect order, and the army followed suit. has split

It was very threatening to see them moving at a speed that ordinary people could not reach, moving like a colony without much disturbance. As soon as the army, which was divided into three, passed through the broken gates of Beerre and entered the interior, it spread out in an instant.

And I was taken aback in many ways by the lower-than-expected resistance.

“…Somehow the atmosphere is strange.”

Deoni nodded involuntarily at the commanding officer’s timid muttering.

Although they knew that public sentiment was running out, they were still more like invaders who had suddenly invaded the city to those who were leading normal lives. It was a complete surprise that was not even talked about in advance…

“The demon is with the hero!”
“The tyranny of pig-like non-rare will come to an end!”

…For some reason, cries were pouring out from all directions, defending themselves and trampling on the authority of Earl Virere.

Although there were times when she wondered if such an attempt would be possible, Deoni, who was looking around at the sight of internal turmoil that could not be realized due to time constraints, decided to find Eldmia first.

Fortunately, it was easy once he started handling the divine power properly. If you go to a place where you can feel the powerful divine power, you will be there.

Upon discovering Eldmia leisurely walking at the head of such a huge crowd, with knights and an elderly gentleman she hadn’t seen before, Deoni decided to just give up on her thoughts.

“Finished moderately well.”

The voice of Eldmia, who took out her helmet and put it on, seemed to notice something oddly.

◈

The takeover of Beerre was very easy. To the extent that it would be more labor intensive to clean up the corpses of soldiers who were almost slain in the castle.

Beerrere wasn’t even a small territory, so there was a brief resistance in other areas except for the entrance to the outer castle we were aiming for, but many citizens were already on our side, so no major armed conflict occurred. There, not only Emmet’s salary, but even the salary to be given to the knight was a waste, so Count Virere’s credit was very large, filling only the head with cheap troops and drastically reducing the actual high-end troops.

Indeed, it could be said that she is a faith fighter of the Demon Spirit, comparable to Mutaguchi Renya.

Nevertheless, the reason why the territory was able to be maintained to some extent was because of the support of the demon king’s army, who sent an army at his request, and the lords of the surrounding cities, with whom he maintained a good relationship to satisfy his vanity… In the end, the wizard It was said that our judgment was correct, considering that the key was to hit and cut off communication quickly.

The good news didn’t end there. Due to the lack of regular reports mentioned by Count Timshive during the strategy meeting, the possibility that the enemy would notice abnormalities in the city was eliminated by Emmet’s performance.

“I did it originally, so you can do it as it is.”

There was a small commotion from the saintess and the other commanders asking for an explanation with strange eyes because she calmly joined the meeting and uttered tremendous words casually.

“Emmett! How dare you!”

The people of the Birreir family, who were the owners of the city, went mad, treating Emmet as a traitor, but the person concerned didn’t care at all.

However, it was not a comfortable rest after a good job. Suddenly, as many as 20,000 people rushed into the city, so no matter how open the inner walls were to allow people to stay, large buildings had to be forcibly requisitioned, and those buildings usually belonged to merchants who touched money.

Their claim to demand a fair price could be said to be reasonable, but the problem was that the church did not have much money.

It was the army of the church that astronomical money was broken every day because it was not ruthless enough to ask those who believed in and followed the church to find supplies on their own. In fact, he almost covered the expenses by robbing the family of Count Birair, but it was not a very affluent situation because the count, who was in power, was drawing a considerable amount of money and spending it in the capital.

After all, even taking a break while maintaining legitimacy was costly.

“It’s not like the army is plundering for nothing.”

I strongly sympathized with Emmett’s words as he chuckled at the bar owner, who shook his head and said he would not give up the building unless it was the price he wanted.

You can say thank you just for saving lives, but it wasn’t even an option for the church that was moving to carry out God’s will, and it wasn’t a simple Yeongji War.

Every time we stayed overnight in Birre, the faces of the civilians who were exhausted from the forced marches improved, but the faces of the saintess and the commanding staff only grew haggard. At least the city was looking for people with disrespectful hearts and collecting them all in the form of confiscation, but how much would there be to rob in a yard where even the safe of the richest lord was robbed?

In the end, after about four days of rest, we unanimously decided to move out of the city.
