War
"... I'm sorry for the delay! Reinforcements have come!"
The good news that I had been waiting for came.
"I kept you waiting"
It was Lyle, my buddy, who appeared with the message.
"It's really so... well, though it was faster than I thought."
I was relieved to see Lyle and just laughed.
Of course, I'll never say that I was relieved to see him.
"So what is the situation? Something interesting?"
I bring a map and show it to Lyle.
"Here, here, and here ... all the main roads from the port to the city have been closed. And, as you can see, we are committed to defending the city from the enemy with as much power as possible."
"It's an offensive defense. ... From behind a barricade?"
"We can only use the minimum number of people. No, better said, we didn't even have enough staff at all."
"Well, yes. ... but it's weird."
"Oh. If they start moving, this is a dangerous spot, but, at the same time, I can see their movements now, so it's an advantage ..."
"Well, why don't we assign the people I brought and start attacking them directly?"
"No, honestly that's not good. This is a situation where the enemy side is taking a look at the situation every moment... I feel that it's better playing around with them knowing their condition. If they move earnestly without guarding of us, they will soon be defeated. "
"Is a serious change going on here? Your harassment seriously is working"
"……Such thing"
"But in this state ..."
"Can you leave here?"
When Lyle speech finished, the voice of a third party broke into our conversation and came in.
A man who I got to know just recently ... he was Grouse.
"Grouse. What happened?"
There is no question about why Grouse appeared in this space.
After all, he's the head of the Voldic family with overwhelming influence in the eastern part.
In the first place, they have the advantage of knowing the terrain as their backs, and.. they know all passageways and underground tunnels.
Even if he does not do his best, anyone with as much influence as him should be able to break through the front.
"Hmm ... I'm thinking of restoring the name of the Voldic family after this, I guess it's going to be difficult under the previous sanctions ... what would the family be like if it were restored to its previous state? I can not imagine it. "
At my question, Grouse shrugged his shoulders and answered like it was not something to care about.
"And, last time I had a huge debt with the lady. If I didn't repaid it soon, I felt that she would be more likely to use a harsher system on us."
That's really something to be expected from the princess.
"... but is it good for you to intervene? Those who occupy the port are probably not just mobs ... but Acacia's army advanced forces."
Lyle tells him as advice.
"Oh, we have our own way of fighting. Don't worry, we'll protect the city. ... We've got a heavy load in battle. We're experts at it..."
Gill, Lyle and I stare at Grouse, as we want so much to smile.
Instead of looking away at our gaze, he was even smiling fearlessly.
"To be honest, I also want to borrow a ruffian's hand at war times.... May I ?"
"It works, but only when our interests are in agreement,"
At Lyle's words, Grouse returns a light hearted reply.
"Begged you please, we need to borrow some of your power"
"Ay, I was appointed already. It's futile to ask again. It's my city, too"
"Oh"
When the talk stopped, Grouse left the place quickly.
We return to plan our strategy on the map again soon after he leaves.
"... is that good?"
We talked for quite some time, and at the end, we found a way.
"Oh"
On the other hand, Lyle squeezes strongly.
"Yeah, let's go with this"
We also leave the place.
To keep the promise with Grouse.
To protect the courageous people of this city.
... Above all, to protect the heart of the princess who is our master.
I made my foot move forward while quietly rising my battle spirit.
