Chapter 868 – Swamp in the Swampwood Forest (4)
***
Prior to the dispatch of the soldiers, the Pope’s blessing was given.
Armed Forces soldiers gathered in the plaza and receiving blessings prior to the march. +@, Adventurers, mercenaries, and other veterans. The plaza filled with people gathered to cheer those who were going to save the country was enveloped in a slight heat. It was the mistake of the citizens who had overcome fear and despair once. An inundation of monsters and a war to stop them. It was the will to overcome this catastrophe, which the Senate dubbed the ‘war for supremacy’, as an ordeal. The old man and I have become snowballs like this. The congratulatory speeches of the Popes resonated resoundingly. This parade itself is a buff ritual, but there are not a few territories that need help right away. There, her advance party, including Odelia, had headed in advance. Those who are here are dispatched to a place where the war against monsters has not yet taken place! The Tiberius siblings and Optum were also lined up. Because our eyes met, I only made eye contact. Why? I’m not part of that group. It was Tyrsi who took the stage instead of me. I don’t know if it’s her origin or her pride or her skills, but among her many celebrities, she is the most conspicuous, full of dignity and beautiful. Proud of the dedicated dildo book. 〈──For this reason, the Church of the Seven Gods has decided to lend the holy relics left behind by proud paladins, martyrs, and apostles, hoping for the survival and victory of the defending warriors.〉 When the pope of the Romulus Church said so, he had all the holy relics moved. From weapons such as swords, spears, and bows to shields and armor, several sacred relics were distributed to the representatives of each corps, and the order returned to Tirsi. 〈──Sir Tyrsi Ritter Armashnas and his companions. For you, the Holy Relic of the God of Freedom, the Veil of Rest, the Holy Relic of the God of Justice, and the Mace of Prison.〉 A veil hood and a golden hammer as elegant as a thin curtain. The Romulus Pope said, lending holy relics that would be difficult to obtain even for generals and great nobles. 〈Above, donate 12 artifacts until the end of the war.〉 People who were watching the parade were buzzing. When he saw Tirsi, who had received two holy relics, he seemed to hesitate, but Tirsi calmed down as if this was natural. Will today’s parade ceremony help her raise her reputation in the future? If there is any benefit to being famous, there is nothing else to say. By the time the march through the city to boost morale started, I got out of the crowd.

“People’s eyes don’t get used to it.”
Tirsi returned from the march and said. She was tired, wiping her sweat with her handkerchief – she seemed mentally tired – but her franc smiled brightly.
“Tirshi, that was great! It was like a princess in a story or a great wizard!”
“Is that so?”
When Tyrsi hesitated, as if embarrassed, Dana gasped.
“Puhh. It’s nice, but it’s embarrassing.”
“… Whoop whoop. Will Dana have a similar experience someday?”
“Do whatever you want~. It’s enough if I send Valkyrie as a substitute~. Ppa-shuong-pa-shuong~ Is there a great wizard who has the status of Count Jun but has no lands and no kombung?”
“So, can Dana pay the researchers’ salaries without Nord?”
“In the Ulster-style home education, the husband’s money is said to be the wife’s money, so it’s okay.”
“Snow. Wouldn’t it be polite to peel pumpkin seeds when the person inside isn’t around?”
“A pumpkin seed? It’s a compliment that means stir-fried ham because the elite who has both literary and martial arts is her husband, right?”
“Khehehe. Then it’s done.”
In the first place, even if I increase the number of wives, I do not die from being beaten because it gives me strength and ability. Money? I’ll give it to you if you need it. I left all my possessions in my wives’ wallets.
Zuuuuung—!!
In the meantime, soldiers passed through the portal.
The emperor’s one-person escape pod. Since the horse is for one person and is a relic of that golden age, you can send it anywhere just by setting the coordinates. I lent it to speed up the dispatch.
“If something like that is commercialized, won’t the value of Atlantis go down?”
Gildart, who had been saying hello to me earlier, asked.
It was Elizabeth who explained in my place.
“At all. Even if you filled 10 wagons with gold bars and sent them off, you could barely recover the mana cost. It cannot be compared to Atlantis, which can transport nearly 10 of the capital’s warehouses at once.”
Hit. Trade is a matter of cost-effectiveness.
How do you convert mana into money? Do you have a mana potion?
“Rather than that, Count? Isn’t that the artifact you decided to donate to us?”
“Yes. Did you change it to Yeongji?”
“Isn’t that a good deal? You don’t have to.”
“Come on.”
It’s a gyereuk for us who have a lot of doors everywhere, so I’m thinking of changing it to a territory.
Elisabeth, who was not involved in the war, whispered quickly, as if she was already thinking about the end of the war.
“I’m worried that the Hungarian legislators in Romania will break it down and stick out their flippers at the end of the war. I don’t know about you, but we think that artifact is very valuable.”
It has to be.
It’s a valuable item to the Britannia royal family, and an eyesore to the Romanian leadership. After destroying it, you might pretend that it was lost in the fight.
But I answered slyly.
“If it’s broken, I’ll make another one. If the miscellaneous things break it without shame, please come up with an estimate that will get you a hefty price. Please share your review.”
“Are you a genius?”
Her face straightened out. This time it’s my turn to ask.
“Is it difficult to recruit reinforcements from other countries?”
“Right. Who knows where the offspring of the stars, the invaders from the other world, will pop up again?”
“It is impossible. I have no choice but to accept it.”
In particular, Germania and Nidabellir are said to have suffered great damage from heartworms.
“We will support supplies as much as possible, but no country seems to have any intention of leaking defense power.”
I roughly nodded. It doesn’t matter much, does it?
It’s too much power to stop Henir’s plan, and if we fail, we’ll have to fight for the survival of mankind while crying. Of course, I have no intention of failing.
“I wish you luck. Don’t die.”
“May the gods bless you and take good care of you.”
The royal couple wished us luck and departed. The boy Pope appeared next.
I nodded without speaking. They would also go to Azwishia together. But there was something more important. ─Tumbling. Items that are loaded onto a cart. At the glance of my eyes, Valkyrie rolled up the cloth, and there were meticulously packed boxes. It was a packaging that felt sadness and sincerity that could not be expressed in words, like Chewduk, which was put on the carrot market with the achievements of the virtues it had accumulated all its life after being pushed by the family’s rice. What? Why? Are you afraid that you will receive two sacred relics and fight? The veil and hammer I received earlier were especially valuable items, so they were given to me in public to ask for their return after the possible war. In contrast, what about these? Even if I use it and take it, it is a price that I have no choice but to go through with fucking. 〈However, not a few are used goods. Anything new is the best.〉 The Pope of Pomona, who stretches out like a child and speaks. It was a bit like a unicorn, but considering that he was a priest, it seemed appropriate. *** ─Break!! I rode the artifact and arrived near Azwishia.
Of course, of course, the people of Azwishia do not yet know the existence of this emperor’s Imperial fancy warp device, so they cannot jump out of town.
So even if we had to move a bit, our 100 or so Wiguk reinforcements landed on top of the canyon.
To briefly explain the geography of Azwishia here, it is the appearance of a city with high walls at the exit of a narrow gorge that would be perfect for filming a historical drama, The Battle of Salsu.
The fork in the gorge, which unfolds in a fan shape like a ginkgo leaf, is simple and clear.
The highest place in the canyon is the monster’s nest. And if you go inside through there, you will come out to an unexplored land that people hardly ever come across.
That’s why we kept our mouth shut right after we arrived.
“… It’s a familiar sight.”
“Tirshi, you too? It’s a coincidence. Me too.”
In front of Azwishia’s walls, there were already so many monsters that it was difficult to count them. Surprisingly, it was a monster military with a plausible formation.
“It reminds me of when I met the troll army.”
Fran muttered to herself.
Hit. It was just like that time.
The canyon we were in skillfully surrounded Azwishia, so the monsters couldn’t besiege the castle. To give an analogy, that castle itself feels like a toll gate.
It is a natural castle wall that must be pierced by force or inspected to pass through the castle.
So it was.
“Is there anything different from that time?”
Dana laughed and frowned and pointed her finger at the outskirts of the city – a safe zone without monsters.
─All right, all right!!
An expensive wagon that looked like at least a nobleman was riding through the plains.
〈… God, my God.”
The pope put his hands together and prayed towards Loki.
After receiving the prayer, Loki said dumbfounded.
“Enemy forces are swarming, but the owner of the castle has fled.”
“That’s right.”
Also, humans are fun.
You can’t predict the future, really.
