Trinitas Mundus

October 1st.

In the Wang capital Fonce, people were not even aware of the crisis in the east and were thriving at the harvest festival.

Before noon, kings, royalties and nobles also appear in the squares of the fountains in the heart of the city, and the citizens raise their blessings to the king.

"" Hail, Your Majesty!!

"" Blessings of God of Water (Fonce)!!

A ride of early horses rushes through the festival venue amid a storm of blessing voices similar to that anger.

And when he finds the King and the heavy ministers, he descends on the spot and kneels before them.

You've been riding impossible, your breath is rough, and you can't really get the word out.

"Ha ha... sorry to be here like this!

"Forgive me. Report me."

King Lionel XII nods to Eagle Fling and urges the decree to report.

"We will report! On the 25th of September leaving, five adventurers, requested by the Bridgand Defense Corps, conducted a reconnaissance of Chulock. As a result, we have confirmed that the fort has been attacked by a large number of demons. The detailed number of demons is unknown. However, there are dozens of flying demons that seem to be wing demons, at least thirty orgasms, and hundreds or more orcs!

In the words the festival venue quiets at once.

Lionel XII, with a gentle grin, struggles with the decree, saying "Thank you". And declare it in a powerful voice to the citizens with an anxious look on their face.

"Everyone, advance the Crusader Squad (...) immediately! Rest assured! The rest will return to the royal palace. Lord Kilgaroho, Lord Braveburn, follow me."

Citizens are relieved by the king's powerful words, but in the king's heart, it was not so calm.

(I didn't know the demon raid was true. It was a pleasure to have an advance party at the discretion of the Knights Commander. But is Kilgaroho's son capable of suppressing the Demons... I have to hit him quickly)

The festival venue was revitalized again and most citizens were not worried about the crisis in the east.

In it mercenary guild guild chief Duke Selzam's face was cloudy and he thought of his friend under the sky far east.

(It's Hamish. Come back safely. A few days. You can just do it for a few days. You'll be fine, but don't push it...)

October 2.

The Demonic Crusaders advance party, which is dominated by the Knights of the Springs, followed the city of Bridgens.

The streets were overflowing with refugees coming from the east, but gradually the evacuees were gone, and by the time they arrived in the village of Bogby on October 4th, the signs of the people had disappeared completely.

The story of the evacuees from the village of Millis was that a wing demon appeared over the village on September 27th and fled in a hurry.

October 4th.

The three Rays were ahead of the streets as they fought ahead of the advance party.

(No sign of the enemy so far. Talk about having a wing demon in the village of Millis, 30 km away, eight days ago, so it's not strange if it's time to show up)

The three had arrived in front of the village of Bogby around 3 p.m.

Because the village is not popular and there are no livestock, it only sounds like a bird chirping.

(It's peace itself, but I don't know what to do. It would be safest to have Stella go)

He will never, ever, speak to Stella.

"I want you to explore the village. But come back as soon as you feel in danger. I don't want you to ever do that."

Nodding forcefully at his words, Stella lowered herself and headed towards the village.

The two waited for Stella to return in the woods, but Ray, who could no longer stand the silence, was speaking to Ashley.

"What do you think of Ash? You think there's an enemy here?

"I don't know. If you're here, it would mean that Turok has already fallen. Nearly twenty days have already passed since regular contact was interrupted. But if you think the fort can withstand January, it's more likely that it hasn't come yet."

Although Ray is also convinced of her predictions, the only one, Stella, who sent out, had cast a shadow of anxiety on him.

(If you're going, you can say you're a little more confident and okay, but it's emotionally tough to make you do dangerous things on your own instructions. When I'm in a position to order, I know exactly how awesome Mr. Hamish and the Knights Commander are)

Stella enters the village of Bogby, carefully exploring the signs.

It has not been many days since it was abandoned, so there is no feeling of devastation. However, because there was no sign of people at all, the atmosphere was like a lonely abandoned village.

(There are no signs... I don't even feel monitored. Let's look inside a few houses and then go back to Lady Ray's)

She goes inside a few private houses and makes sure there are no signs of people.

Whether the private house was hastily packed or the undelivered vandalized, the baggage was scattered everywhere, but no sign of the enemy was felt at all.

After exploring the village for about thirty minutes, he returned to the Rays and reported that the village was deserted.

"Good luck, Stella," he said with a smile, quickly turning back down the street.

Niges Leland, deputy captain of the Third Battalion, had appealed to commander Arwell Kilgaroho to stop the troops in front of entering the village of Bogby and make sure there were no enemy ambushes.

"What are you afraid of? You can kick the demon ambush or something. That's how timid and well-knighted you are. Well, so, deputy, you mean stop."

Arwell did not acknowledge the need for scouts and had ordered the crusaders to proceed as they were.

Leland shudders in anger, but further exhorts him to do his job.

"But it's already been about twenty days since the demonic invasion. No wonder there are enemies around here. Please reconsider."

In contrast, Arwell just gave me a glimpse and proceeded with the horse without saying anything.

Ray, who was staring at the state of it, approaches Leland, who is at the bottom of his disappointment, and speaks quietly.

"The village of Bogby is deserted. Rest assured."

As it were, when I tried to walk away, Arwell looked back and blamed Ray for what he looked like.

"Mercenaries there! Why did you leave the line!

Arwell turns right back and stops the horse in front of Ray.

"I'm asking you why you left the line! Answer me!

Ray, whose tail had been cut off, objected with disobedience.

"I'm Ray Arklight. I'm a level five adventurer. Not those who joined the brave army as mercenaries."

Arwell soars and jumps off the horse.

"You defy me, commander of this crusade! Why are those who don't join the Crusades wandering around here!

Not long before Ray answered the question, Arwell had ordered his men to capture Ray.

"There are suspicions of demonic spies. Catch him!"

As the knights of my men descend the horse and begin to make their way to him, I retrieve the seal I received at the time of the request.

"I am the one who was asked by His Excellency Count Victor Rockletter, Commander of the Knights of the Springs, to investigate the Tactics of the Demons. Look at the requisition here, but if you still want to tie it up, do as you please."

Arwell was surprised by the word, but kept screaming without trying to be sure it was true or false.

"There is no way His Excellency the Commander would order such a person. It is determined by a distressing lie. Hurry up and tie him up!

The knights try to move on to the word, but notice that there is an official mark of the Knights on the seal in Ray's hand, stopping their feet.

Leland moves forward into that gap and starts reading the requisition in Ray's hands.

"This is true. It is in the immediate life of His Excellency the Knights Commander."

The knights were horrified by the words of the deputy captain and began to fall back.

"Don't lie to me! Let me see it!

Arwell snatches the requisition so it snaps from Leland and starts checking inside.

His complexion changes quickly and his momentum suddenly disappears until then, but he cares about the eyes of the knights around him and can't admit they're real.

"This is fake. Pretty sophisticated, but a fake requisition. Capture them!"

And he tried to tear down and throw away the requisition.

"If you break down His Excellency the Order of the Knights, it is an act of treason against the Knights of the Springs. Under the authority of the deputy captain, I will strip the captain of command."

Arwell's hand stops at the threat.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Breaking and throwing away false orders doesn't mean treason against the Knights."

"May I? Two orders were made, one in the hands of His Excellency the Commander. I have determined the order to be authentic, so after securing the captain's identity, I will immediately send the torn and discarded order to Fonce. If I am wrong, I will also be punished for my crimes against life."

Pressed by Leland's temper, Arwell glances at him when he returns the requisition to Leland.

And stand in front of Ray,

"Even those who have received His Excellency's life are obliged to obey my orders on the battlefield. Be prepared."

Ray laughs as if he was waiting for the word.

"You don't seem to have read your earlier request. That order states," Without the direct order of the Knights Commander, I entrust everything to the discretion of Ray Arklight, the temporary platoon leader. It should be noted that under no circumstances is it necessary to obey the life of the local commander "

Arwell looked remorseful at the words and then rode off on his horse.

"Dear Leland, I apologize for the inconvenience"

Ray regrets putting a crack in between the captain and the deputy captain and apologizes to Leland.

In contrast, Leland laughed,

"There was already a ditch with the captain. Nothing to worry about. Thank you for Bogby Village."

"We will continue to do our reconnaissance, wherever possible, but only three people can move. Preliminary confirmation of streets and villages and campsites is the best. We have to do something..."

Ray couldn't speak to the end.

He tried to "wipe it out if we don't do something," he added, but he couldn't speak because Leland was determined with Arwell but he knew he was struggling alone.

He bows his head and heads toward a line of prostitutes.

Leland, who was left behind, had thought about what lay ahead and had a dark feeling as he dropped him off.

(Perhaps the captain regrets taking command. But that narrow figure receives criticism of himself for all the advances he can raise. It is imperative that this be completely destroyed. It's still good if we're the only ones left. But the fort of Chulock, the proselytizing army, and more than a thousand fates are in the hands of that immature young man. I can't even buy you time. What should I do...)

Arwell, who was intercepted by Ray, went into Bogby Village, scattering his displeasure around him.

"What an ambush! Isn't that something nowhere!

After shouting, he took over the village chief's house and a large one, and went inside.

(Shit! All I can do is turn this guy against me, too!

In a dark house, after scolding him frequently, he sits in a chair in the house.

(I wonder how many enemies there are ahead. If I fail here, can I... go home alive? If you screw it up, it will be abandoned by your father. If I succeeded, I thought I might be replaced by my brother, but now I don't care about that. I don't like to die. I want to go back to Wang Du......)

He was holding his knees like a child, but he had immediately taken out his booze and started drinking.

Time goes back a little.

On October 1, the Royal Palace, which received reports of demonic raids from Bridgand, had held consultations on the increase in demonic crusaders.

Lord Braveburn and the Knights Commander, Uncle Rockletter, insisted that the largest army that could be sent in as soon as possible, the seven battalions of the Knights of the Springs, should be immediately dispatched to Chulock to gather more mercenaries, defensive squadrons, etc. He had furthermore advised countries to include contact with demonic raids.

Meanwhile, Lord Kilgaroho insists that we should see how things are going in about three battalions because we do not know the size of the enemy.

"Such foolish measures as the gradual input of troops. It is best to head to the battlefield as soon as possible with the greatest possible force."

"If soldiers don't have food, they don't just starve. I 'm ready to take the heavy squad. We should see what happens at the three battalions that can cover Bridgand's stockpile."

The two claims follow parallel lines and all the time passes.

The hurried Lord Braveburn told the King Ray's claim that this troop outbreak was a royal crisis.

Upon hearing it, King Lionel XII shames his own unknown and decides to send seven battalions, as Lord Braveburn claims.

"Lord Braveburn, we're still heading to the battlefield. The rest of the unknown endangered the soldiers and the people. No one will be convinced if the rest of us go out on our own."

"Are you a parent conscription...... I will march quite impossible to advance the army as soon as possible. Furthermore, if His Majesty were to take command, there would be confusion in the Knights..."

"I don't mind. Let's ride the rest of the way. The command rests with Uncle Rockletter. I can't say anything else."

Lord Braveburn also had to bow his head and acknowledge the words.

(Your Majesty is just as skilled. I guess I felt I needed to do something myself in order to regain my loss here. I wish you could punish me for this and look more downwards...)

He was a duke who read exactly what the king thought, but was quickly switching his head and thinking about getting ready to go out.

(Seven battalions, 2,000 men. And about a hundred of His Majesty's Kingsguards? The Winged Lions (Griffons) can't get them out because they have Winged Demons... I can cover them with supplies reserved for Bridgens for the moment, but don't worry about replenishment...)

Lord Kilgaroho acknowledged his own loss in the decision to proclaim the king's parents.

(They did it again. After that, Arwell will have no choice but to achieve a glorious battle in the war. Well, not this time Lord Braveburn and Lord Inverhollow win. suppose to bet on the next opportunity)

Later, the Temple of Light, the Archbishop of Light Divinity, visited the Royal Palace and wished to see the King.

The king was busy preparing himself for his own battle, but after saying no for a short time, he allowed himself to see it.

Lambardi, the archbishop who appears, hears the demonic assault and offers to send the priests of the Light Divinity.

"Our common enemies who believe in the Devil Nation, namely, the Dark God (Noctis). Use the power of our Light Divinity to defeat them. The priests are excellent healers, as well as users of light attribute magic. I hope you will forgive me, my companion, for it will be of great help."

Though the king felt frigid, he thought a good healer was necessary and decided to allow him to accompany him. Then, he offered to coordinate the details with Lord Braveburn, and finished his gaze.

Archbishop Lambardi will soon visit Lord Braveburn and fill in the details.

The Duke laughs bitterly that he was pushed into trouble, but decided to strike his hand because he could read the King's thoughts.

"I sincerely apologize for this offer. But this time, even His Majesty is a forcible army marching on horseback. You can't just barely go along with the priests. So we're ahead, but for now, I want you to head to Bridgend."

The archbishop nodded and promised to send twenty priests, leaving the royal palace behind.

The remaining dukes were thinking about the treatment of the priests of the Light Divinity.

(If you take him poorly to the front line, he fights on his own. I don't have a problem with the fanatics of phototheism dying, but that could bankrupt the operation. They should stay in Bridgend and act as healers)

Next, October 2nd.

Two thousand members of the seven battalions of the Knights of the Protected Springs, led by King Lionel XII, left the king's capital, Fonce, in the early morning, when the night would not run out.

Then, three days later, on the evening of October 5, he arrived in the eastern city of Major Bridgets.
