The Reincarnated Sage ~I Will Forge the Strongest Empire in the Demon Forest!~

It's been a few days since Riza was imprisoned.

Have you changed your mind about Riza?

Lemest asked the vassal knight if Riza had changed her mind .

'No, ...... it seems to have not changed yet.'

I responded.

Riza had been locked up for a few days, but she insisted that I not attack.

"Fight it without Riza, you useless bastard! Well, these mercenaries we've hired are very good at killing demons. They can easily kill hobgoblins and orcs.

What will you do, Mr. Lemest? Would you like to leave all the fighting to us?

I'm not going to die out there. I may have to leave later if things get tough.

Okay. I'll take care of it.

Good, then tell your men and mercenaries to get ready for battle. You're in command, Beld.

Yes, sir.

The knight called Berd bowed his head towards Lemest and then went to tell him to get ready for battle .

Fat.

After Riza's departure, Beresdral was peaceful for a while without any problems.

After Riza's return, Bellamus decided to increase the town's security for a while.

Even if Riza didn't tell him, there was a good chance that Count Astraeus would continue his search.

If he's found, it could lead to war.

He had the Legion ants patrol the perimeter of the town and taught them some new magic that could be used in battle to strengthen the residents' fighting power.

After some time.

'Dear Mr. Bellamus, it's a big deal!

Medina reports to Bellamus in a panic.

What do we have?

'Yes! There is a band of humans coming toward this town!

A group of humans? Bellamus wonders.

I figured if he was coming, it would be one or five or six people in a small group.

You don't even know where it is, so it's pretty hard to imagine a group that large.

"How many people are there in a gang?

I don't know exactly, but I'm pretty sure there are more than a hundred of them.

You're coming to this town, aren't you?

Yes, sir. They're coming in a straight line, sir.

In a straight line?

Belamus is a little surprised that his location is known .

Either Riza had spoken, or he'd gleaned it from the adventurers who'd come before him, or he had a skilled scout who'd gone to find Berezdral and report back to his master without his scouting being disingenuous? Or is it something other than the Countess of Astraeus? Vellums predicts .

If there was a skilled scout, he would have used it all along, so it's unlikely .

Then it could be Riza speaking, the adventurers, or someone other than the Countess of Astraeus.

Neither of them seemed to be someone who would break a promise in Bellamus' eyes.

Nevertheless, they might talk if they were threatened.

If the Countess Astraeus is at a standstill, they'll use anything devoid of humanity.

If they're here anyway, then we need to find out what happened and if they're going to attack us, then we need to get rid of them.

Bellamus wants to avoid killing as much as possible.

Hopefully he'll come home quietly, and head to the place where the humans said they came from.
