Syndication: Start with an ordinary career

The man’s name is Jose Lancade, who is not only the deputy head of the Knights of the Kingdom, but also Melde’s henchman.

“No problem, right?”

“Yes, although I have not been seen by anyone, I cannot stay for long.”

“After all, the two high-ranking members of the Knights met secretly in such a place late at night. In the eyes of those in power, they will definitely think that we are plotting against us. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Melde’s mouth, and Jose smiled wryly.

“…… What is the situation with the Corps? ”

Melder asked again with a serious expression.

Jose’s expression was not only sullen, but even pale.

“…… Including the Captain, 60% of the Captain level ~ Symptoms of “emptiness”. ”

The “symptoms of emptiness” in José’s mouth are a wonderful phenomenon that has recently spread throughout the palace.

Originally seen in junior soldiers and knights, it should simply be burnout.

People with symptoms do have jobs, and conversations are normal, but they are significantly less energetic, smiling, and have minimal communication with others.

And often hide in the room behind closed doors.

This symptom spreads gradually.

In the end, nobles with the power to speak, people of the rank of knight commander, also began to have the same symptoms.

Melder senses that something is not quite right, and feels a sense of crisis about the strange phenomenon that is gradually spreading, so he sets out to investigate.

“It’s so serious. I began to think that the Knights were lucky to have more than 10% of them. No, just being at the captain level is already lucky. ”

“…… But the regiment commander, that, what to say … Is this really an attack by someone?

“Could it be that those people are too lax?”

Melder listened to the report, and his expression became more solemn.

Jose asked with a swallow.

“The defeat of the brave, the loss of the elite of the Knights, and the gradual subversion of the numerical superiority relied on by the human side by the Demon Man will it be relaxed in this situation!?”

“Jose, I understand your mood, but don’t look too optimistic, otherwise even you will have an accident.”

“I was rude.”

Jose is not genuinely optimistic.

It is also the responsibility of the Deputy Commander to raise objections from other angles to the ideas of the Commander. Only to hear Jose cough and reopen:

“Did the regiment commander find anything? Has His Majesty been affected in any way? ”

“Your Majesty is still fine, there is no ’emptiness’ sign, but it has become more energetic.”

He even said that “in the name of the Lord, he will never forgive the atrocities of demons”… It’s just…”

“？ What’s wrong? ”

Seeing that Melde spoke not as brightly as usual, Jose was puzzled.

Melder hesitated how to speak, but as if he couldn’t find the right words, he only shook his head and said “nothing”

He could not say that His Majesty was a little superstitious.

Neither in his own faith nor in the words of his subordinates, he could not say such words.

“The Prime Minister doesn’t look like there’s a problem, and the situation of the high-ranking people is not very optimistic.”

Melder listed the symptomatic people one by one, and when he heard their names, his face couldn’t help but become ugly.

Although the great nobles who really controlled the center were still safe, a considerable number of powerful nobles of various factions had already fallen ill.

“I pray to Your Majesty and from Your Majesty the Knights.”

“Both the Knights of the Guards and the Knights of the Templar are still difficult to tell, and I have ordered that any abnormality be reported immediately.”

“What does Your Majesty say about the ’emptiness symptoms’?”

King Alicid, of course, also received reports – there may now be an enemy of unknown origin launching a spiritual attack on the center of the kingdom.

Even if it is just a lack of vitality, there are a lot of them, and they must be dealt with as soon as possible. Melder showed a melancholy expression.

“…… From the fact that I am secretly exchanging intelligence with you here, I should understand what the result is, right? ”

“Does Your Majesty not agree with your investigation?”

That’s right, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, they report the current situation to each other in the corners of the palace late at night.

On behalf of King Alicid, he not only rejected the request for a formal investigation, but even ordered Melder to stay nosy and concentrate on armament.

Even if he can’t investigate openly, Melder still believes in his sense of crisis, and will now meet with his henchman here to take precautions as much as possible.

“With the current situation, the threat of the demon is gradually increasing, and if you only rely on some unclear information, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to judge.”

“Even so, His Majesty should usually listen to the advice of the regiment leader…”

Melder silenced Jose with his eyes.

Even if the present style of King Alicid was indeed too bossy, they could not easily complain about the monarch.

“That’s why we have to collect enough intelligence for Your Majesty’s judgment, right?”

“Jose, you go and gather people who are proficient in dark attribute magic, and let them investigate the cause of the “emptiness symptoms” and find a way to fight it. ”

“In addition, try to ask someone to open the treasure vault of the palace, which may contain artifacts that can resist spiritual attacks, and ask the management department to show you the catalog of collectibles.”

“Understood, what about Mr. Tejas and the others?”

“It’s up to me to say… They are now in a period of instability, although I do not want to give them unnecessary unease. ”

“But… Heaven forbid, I don’t seem to be very suitable for educating others. ”

Melder sighed self-deprecatingly, and Jose smiled and said to him:

“They must be able to appreciate the good intentions of the regiment leader.”

“Then put the cart before the horse, I should know what they think, and this is what bothers me the most.”

“None of the ways I wielded a sword or fought bothered me so much.”

“Even so, if the regiment leader speaks, they will definitely be more at ease.”

If you are a newcomer to the Knights, you must have done a good job of enlightenment before joining the Order.

Therefore, when encountering mental problems, mainly running, swinging a sword, drinking until you fall, which can solve most problems.

………………

However, for ordinary students who are forced to leave their hometowns and cannot return to their hometowns without fighting, that method will not work.

It is precisely because he is not good at taking care of the mental condition of these children that Commander Melder is so distressed…

He was like a father who was worried about his children, and seeing this rare side of the group leader, Jose couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

After that, Melde exchanged two or three pieces of information with Jose, discussed the future policy, and took advantage of the night to return to the palace.

Melder walked down the dimly lit corridor, careful not to be detected by the soldiers on patrol, and headed for his room.

Even if discovered, as the head of the Knights, he will not be reproached or interrogated, but some people may wonder what he is doing so late.

So Melder didn’t want to be witnessed as much as possible.

However, thinking of his sneaky activities in the palace late at night, which looked suspicious, Melder couldn’t help but show a self-deprecating smile.

However, in the next moment, he was about to taste the trembling taste of his heartbeat.

“Regiment Melder—”

Originally, there was no one around, and Melder also paid attention to the movements around him at any time, but someone suddenly appeared behind him.

And it’s also close enough to be photographed on the shoulder.

At this distance, even if the other party wants to take Melde’s first rank, it is easy to do so——

“Drink!!”

Due to the tense atmosphere, the moment the opponent’s hand touched the shoulder, Melder’s right hand reflexively moved.

Reluctantly drew his knight’s sword.

The silver sword light cut through the darkness, and Melder swung a lateral slash at the man behind him.

“Don’t!?”

However, the blow that was swung with the determination to die with the other party was swept away by the other party’s amazing reaction. _
