The Necropolis offensive operation was brought forward three days later.

I was stunned.

The deterioration of the war situation with our neighbours against the Great Republic cannot stop, and the resources obtained from the ruins need to be used promptly as munitions.

That was Cleon's explanation, but I'm sure he's in a hurry for military use by the resurrection of the Demon King.

That could dramatically change the war situation.

Anyway, we can't stop an offensive operation if it's an operational decision this early.

After Cleon resigned, we discussed what we should do.

Necropolis has enemies that even the brave Pericles couldn't defeat.

I believe that the offensive operation is reckless, but I have not found any evidence that it is decidedly impossible.

If the operation is not stopped, Philia's body will be in danger.

Even if the operation were to be carried out, it was intended to strike measures to prevent Filia from being used as a material for the Resurrection of the Demon King.

Because we should have had nearly a month to attack.

But it also became impossible.

"Can't you just run away somewhere?

Sophia suggests it's a bad idea.

"Where is it?

"Why don't you go to a neutral kingdom of calorista or something foreign? Perhaps you can take refuge in the Republic."

"I don't think we can cross the border"

If you leave the country without permission during this war, that's all you're a felon.

I wish I could get out of here, but if I get caught, neither me nor the Phillies will just be sorry.

"So who's going to hide you in the Duke's territory where Solon's from?

"I thought about that too, but I don't want to involve the Dukes. Besides, this mansion is under surveillance."

"Surveillance?"

Sophia looked decent.

Meanwhile, Lucy already seemed to feel the magic junction for surveillance and the deployment of several magicians around the mansion.

I can detect it from changes in the amount of magic around me, but I can't notice it without the idea of being able to monitor it in the first place.

Sophia was also told, and it seemed to have figured out the signs of the watchmen.

The interior of the mansion is bound, so no surveillance eyes can be reached, but if you step outside, they will detect you.

"If we try to escape, the Creons will come and take us into custody."

Defeating the watchmen would be possible with Sophia and Lucy.

Maybe the first line of pursuit can also be repelled.

But we're definitely caught before we get to the getaway.

Because the enemy is the government.

"But as it is, you and Solon are going to be terrible in Necropolis."

Says Sophia with a crying face.

The subject of the Necropolis attack is the Knights of Creon Salvation.

Even when Cleon tries to do harm to Philia after a successful offense, the Knights are likely to follow Cleon's men, so.

Some adventurers as conscientious as Flora may be, but that must be a minority.

But.

He also participates in the Necropolis offensive, besides members of the Knights of Salvation.

As my participation was acknowledged.

"Let's find an adventurer who's gonna be on our side."

"Huh?"

"If you solidify around Filia on your side, it should be somewhat better"

Philia is a princess, so if Cleon tries to do something to Philia, it will be a crime of conspiracy.

If you're just a member of the Knights of Creon, you might be able to kill me and rub me out, for example, after sacrificing Philia.

But with a certain number of people on this side, the story will be different.

Faces on Phyllia's side should fight for Phyllia.

If the battle prolongs, you will be lost in the fact that the face of the Knights is also the enemy of the Empress.

When I explained that, Lucy nodded, too.

"I think that's a good idea. The question is where that ally is..."

"One is decided in Notaras."

Summoner Notaras is an executive of the former Knights of St. Sophia.

Its strength is extremely high.

And since he is also the enemy of Creon and Arte, there is no more credible being.

I just went to Notaras' room and explained the situation.

He took it on with pleasure, even though he knew it was a reckless operation.

"Lord Solon, you can't send one of us to the dead. The failure to stop the Necropolis attack was also the responsibility of our cavaliers."

Notaras sparkled his eyes behind the round glasses.

I repeatedly thanked him and then went to the next room.

There is another old Knights executive in this mansion.

It's engineer Lylene Remilia.

I just didn't think I could go into the girl's room, but when I knocked and called, LylenRemilia replied, "I don't want to leave the room".

Instead, he said, let him in the room.

I have no choice but to go into my room.

The window was closed even though it was daytime, and the room was dim.

Lylene Remilia nods on her bed and wraps around her blanket.

From the blanket there was only a flat face and a slight appearance of purple hair.

Lylene Remilia's purple eyes had fright.

LylenRemilia during the Knights was an elite beautiful girl, with a strong sense of justice, but at the same time a place of freedom.

Even though she's an aristocratic daughter, I think she was wearing an exotic dancer-style costume, so exposed that she nailed the eyes of the men around her.

Lylenlemilia used to brag about its expensive clothes around.

The atmosphere in Lylene Remilia today is very different.

It's because of the terrible assault on Arte and the others.

I don't even know the details of what that content was.

It's just certain that Lylene Remilia was pushed to a state where she was dying in danger.

There were fractures in multiple parts of the whole body.

Fortunately, the wound in the center of the face is gone, and although it has not damaged its beauty, I still see a great scar in the area of the forehead hidden by purple hair.

They can't even use magic back to normal.

And Lylenlemilia was heartbroken because of the memory of the fear planted in Arte and the others.

He was also frightened by the slightest noise and said he was spending the whole day in his room with his vain eyes.

Clarice was pretty worried too.

Again, I felt anger at Arte.

I was reminded of Flora's words that I should have killed Arte.

True, maybe it was.

Arte was released by Cleon and is still free.

I don't know what kind of barbarism you're committing.

Aside from that, we can't just follow the abandoned Lylene Remilia into the Necropolis offensive.

So what I wanted to ask Lylene Remilia was if there were any other handouts of powerful adventurers.

Lylene Remilia was listening to my explanation with a blurred look, but she trembled terribly when I wanted to stop Alte's plan.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to give Arte's name.

Lylene Remilia's expression solidified with fear, and then began to leak whimpers.

I panicked.

I've never seen Lylene Remilia cry before.

"I'm... stupid, aren't I?"

"Why?"

"I had no idea what would happen if I kicked Solon out"

Arte took power of the Knights after he banished me.

And the Knights operation stopped working, and Arte mentioned the Necropolis offense.

And he failed to defeat Arte in opposition to the Necropolis offensive, and he was badly impressed.

So I can also say that my favor of deportation led to the tragedy of Lylene Remilia.

I said.

"It's not always Lylene Remilia's fault. It's all bad, Arte."

That's what I said, Lylene. I waited a while for Remilia to settle down.

Lylene Remilia, who finally stopped crying, says in a faint voice.

"Thanks.... Solon is sweet. I tried to kick Solon out."

"But you were in favor of my return, weren't you?

"Still, I was the first one in favor of kicking Solon out, because it doesn't change. So sorry."

"Well, I don't know what to say instead, but I want one thing to work with. So you owe me nothing."

When asked if there were any adventurers on my side, LylenRemilia thought a little and said there were adventurers in her Viscount family's arms.

Lylene, if Remilia sends out a letter to her father's Viscount, she says she can have them dispatched immediately.

"Thank you, Lylene Remilia."

"Um... I can't go back to my parents' house like this, can I stay in this mansion a little longer?

"Sure. You can stay forever, now you just think about recovering."

When I said that, Lylene Remilia nodded with a stiff, faint, but smiling smile.

And then get the help of acquaintances from magic school and the Knights.

Then there are the most dependable adventurers.

Lascaros, the former head of the Sofia Knights Empire Branch, and his people.

They were all enthusiastic worshippers of the Virgin Sophia, which is why they were not part of the new Knights of Creon.

It is easy to gather members of the Old Knights like them with Sophia's persuasion.

I managed to gather a cool number of adventurers.

And, in parallel, teach Philia the precautions when exploring the ruins in three days, as well as the minimal magic of recovery and support.

And we finally have a Necropolis offensive operation.
