ran east.
The body of a phantom beast is far superior to a human body when it comes to running.
Arrived in Stone Heaven city in one day.
If you move east the same distance from here, you will reach the border area of the empire. No, there will be an area occupied by the invading army.
but… .
‘I’m still tired.’
The aftereffects of the war did not go away.
Even if I recover and concentrate, it’s not enough, so I’m running non-stop, so it’s bound to be difficult.
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
Pot!~
In that case, all you have to do is take a break.
I entered Stone Heaven city.
‘Negro! Grandpa Hysterion said he has a very expensive and nice one-man carriage. You can get it by stopping by the Stone Heaven branch.’
‘Thank you.’
The disciple’s voice just happened to be heard.
◎︎ We are sharing our view with the contractor.
For your information, my disciple is currently working with me using the shared vision skill.
As partial communication was activated with the magical core, the efficiency of the contract skill became stronger, so communication was not difficult even if it was far away.
In other words, even though we are apart, we are not apart.
If you want, you can see each other’s view.
You can talk anywhere you want.
You can summon it whenever you want.
We’ve been together forever.
‘If you go to the Venus branch, they will tell you everything, including the map of the empire and the battle situation. If you say the name Dirus, you will definitely pass, so make sure to use it!’
Why should it be like this?
I can’t suffer alone.
I went straight to the Venus branch.
“White hair… I heard the news. I will guide you personally for VVIP Dirus.”
The head of the Venus youth branch, full of enthusiasm, came out and welcomed us with great hospitality. We served gourmet food and gave us a map and a piece of paper with information written on it.
Green, grey, red.
This is a map showing the occupation status.
“This is the most updated information as of yesterday. This will help you a lot.
“… Venus has also grown a lot.”
“Yes?”
“No.”
Over the years, Venus has penetrated deep into every city in the kingdom, as well as other kingdoms and empires. And after the invasion, they even received information directly from the battlefield.
So there was a lot of helpful information.
Where are the invasion forces concentrated?
Where are the evacuated citizens concentrated?
Where are the enemies advancing?
Where are our allies running away?
I was able to guess everything.
It was good to hear what the disciple said. I never thought it would be this detailed.
“Please take this bag too.”
“Hmm?”
“There is a war going on and it would be difficult to use currency in other countries. If you ever need to make a transaction, you can take money out of this pocket and use it.”
What he held out was a subspace pocket.
It was full of gold and precious metals.
“… Let’s use it well.”
Disciple.
How much more are you trying to take care of?
‘Hi-Hi. Because black people are precious.’
‘… ‘You have a lot to worry about.’
‘Now go to the Goliath branch! There is one of the most expensive carriages in the kingdom. ‘It would be better to just ride it instead of running hard.’
My disciple gave me advice on various things.
‘i get it.’
There’s nothing bad about me.
Because what he says is helpful.
So, I headed to the Goliath branch.
*
The Goliath branch was attached to Venus.
information.
merchant.
As much as they helped each other, the two groups always set up branches next to each other, so they entered the Goliath building right away without having to go around.
Here too, the branch manager rushed out to greet me.
“I waited. Dirus. We have prepared an important means of transportation, so please feel free to use it.”
As Hysterion explained well, it is equally a treat.
Is this kind of power?
Not bad.
I understand why nobles are so condescending.
When you take this kind of treatment for granted, you naturally become flattered.
Do people create situations?
Do circumstances make a person?
Nobles are clearly the latter.
It is the former that created the nobility.
As a person, you will eventually get swept away.
It may be unexpected, but in that respect, my student is truly amazing.
Even if you become the head of Venus.
Even if Hysterion looks after you.
Because he is not conceited about anything and maintains a humble attitude.
As expected, my disciple.
… Stop thinking about random things.
I followed the branch manager.
“This is it. As long as you have enough mana, you can run at high speed without stopping. We will also provide you with extra mana stones.”
Spacious warehouse on the first floor.
A slim vehicle appeared.
It was clearly a carriage with unusual wheels and a handle, but it was slim and small.
There are only two wheels, front and back.
There is only one seat.
“Is this a motorcycle?”
“Yes. This is an item called a motorcycle that was brought in with great difficulty from the tower. The sky is a sphere that cannot fly, but it is also difficult to obtain and is one of the few items in the kingdom, so handle it with care.”
One of the means of transportation produced in the tower.
It is a famous item. Because it is one of the two major mountain ranges that spread across the tower along with guns.
Of course, I’ve never ridden it.
I just looked.
“How fast is this?”
“It runs 2 to up to 5 times faster than a horse can run. Instead, mana efficiency becomes worse… .”
“It’s okay. Because there is a lot of mana.”
“Ah! You must be a wizard. If so, it will be easier to use.”
chuck.
I got on the motorcycle. The height of the legs, the position of the handles, etc. were well established since it was a single-person ride, and the seat was wide, so it was surprisingly comfortable.
The branch manager explained diligently.
Forward/brake with both feet.
Direction and speed control with handle.
In addition, you can even use defensive magic and the location of the mana inlet with just one button.
The explanation is sufficient.
Moved slightly forward.
Ugh~
Slurp.
The wheels are rolling.
I don’t know the principle, but I can feel the flow of mana changing into other energy.
The sound wasn’t very loud.
I even feel strangely excited.
This is a guy that I quite like the ride.
… I’ll have to ask for one of these when I get back.
“Thank you. Let’s use this motorcycle well. But how do you store it? I think it would be tiring to carry it around.”
“Ah! Please look at the key handle on the front of the motorcycle. This is a dedicated sub-space storage device that was airlifted together.”
“Hoo.”
A smooth, shiny handle the size of two fingers is attached to the front. One button stands out on the handle.
“If you press the button you see, it will be automatically stored in subspace.”
“It’s convenient.”
“It’s that expensive. A nobleman who can fly and crawl cannot survive even if he sacrifices all his wealth.”
“Good. That’s enough explanation, so go ahead.”
“Yep! Please be careful!”
Send the branch manager and move forward.
Surprisingly, I like it because it has a sense of stability.
Ugh~
“Hey, what is that?”
“Is that a carriage?”
The sound of mana being converted.
Unusual carriage exterior.
People’s attention was focused on us, but we didn’t care and moved outside the city.
*
Woooo!!~
motorcycle.
This is this thing.
You can move so quickly with just a little bit of manipulation. Thanks to this, I was able to recover my strength and move forward quickly without any effort.
Sharalalak!!~
I just concentrated on my mana breathing, feeling the surrounding scenery and wind with my whole body.
Ah, it’s refreshing.
Things from this world were definitely convenient.
It was probably an item made by a civilization several times more advanced than Edeline.
I heard that Goliath is handling the tower’s items these days, so I’ll stop by sometime and see if there’s anything to loot.
Fuaaa!!!
Shhh!!
Refreshing.
Cool.
This is an item that instantly breaks the stereotype of carriages as painful and boring. With this, you can reach the empire without difficulty.
I would like to improve it a bit later and run with my student.
Is that the same for you as well?
He thought the same thing as me.
‘That looks fun. I want to ride with you~’
‘Let’s ride together later.’
‘huh!’
So, we need to finish the job quickly.
The speed increased further. If possible, we will arrive at the empire within a day or two.
My goal is to join and defeat the invading army before the imperial army is annihilated. No country can deal with the invading army alone, so we plan to actively utilize the imperial army.
ran at top speed.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have enough mana stones.
My mana will be restored by the time the motorcycle’s mana is depleted.
Fuhua Ahhhwa
Forward at maximum power.
Funnily enough, even though I run this fast, I feel relaxed.
I felt the strong wind while enjoying my leisure time.
[this… I want to drive one too. Would you please step aside for a moment?]
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, the fairy Atrot, who was sitting between the door handles, looked back and said.
curiosity.
flutter.
Those two things are visible.
It looked quite fun.
It seemed like he also wanted to experience things from another world.
“That’s annoying.”
[urg! Something less mean! Hurry and get out of the way. This body will drive it myself!]
“This is a single seat.”
[Why not just turn into a phantom beast!! It will be easy for you to regain your strength if you look like that. This is this body showing kindness!!]
“… Don’t you just want to drive?”
[joy! Could that be possible? This body just takes pity on you and helps you.]
“… … … .”
Huuu~
Slowly lowered the speed.
It’s tiring to argue with this guy who can’t be honest only with himself. Moreover, as he said, resting with aqueous solution is not a bad idea as recovery is faster.
◎︎ Release handprinting.
Wow~
After stopping, change seats.
I got on the front of the motorcycle.
Damn it!!
[Hahahaha!!! Rest well. This body will drive you!]
An excited Atrot sat on the motorcycle and grabbed the steering wheel.
Full accelerator.
Fuuu!!!!!
The motorcycle started to move forward violently.
Is it really that fun?
He keeps pahaha! I rode the motorcycle around and around.
… The ride is not good.
Shaking my head.
I ignored it and focused on recovery.
That’s how we entered the land of the empire.
The destination is the north of the empire.
It is a place where war is in full swing.
*
North of the Empire.
The final frontier.
Quebec City.
“There are no reinforcements anymore… .”
“Princess… … .”
A woman who climbed the castle wall with a nobleman clenched her fists and trembled in exasperation.
Estella.
She is a noble bloodline of the Demetrian Empire and an unusual sword-wielding princess knight.
When everyone clicks their tongues.
When everyone puts on makeup.
When playing, sleeping and decorating.
She grabbed the sword.
I held a book on military strategy.
I majored in warrior studies.
He secretly taught himself kingship.
So, unlike the emperor who fled to another country, she remained until the end. And he became the commander-in-chief of the front line and defended this place.
… Probably until today.
“20,000 troops are coming here, and among them is the head of the Uk tribe… I’ll probably die here.”
Sigh.
Estella glanced around the city.
Soldiers on guard.
Soldiers who believed in them and followed them.
Residents fled in fear.
Residents who raise their arms and pour oil and water to help.
Knights who will protect their homeland.
Heroes determined to stop the invading army.
People who came to support from other countries.
Mercenaries who did not run away.
And even the few noble commanders who had the right consciousness.
Everyone who could run away ran away.
These are all the people who believed in themselves and remained.
That much responsibility weighed on my shoulders.
The 20,000-strong army and the 30,000 residents who stayed or took refuge in the city are all in her hands.
So I was worried.
Are you abandoning the empire and taking refuge with its citizens?
Are we all going to fight to the death together?
If not, should we divide our small forces to evacuate the residents and stop the invading army with the determination to risk our lives?
We received reports that the invasion force was just around the corner. Now you have to make a decision.
She thought for a while and then opened her mouth.
“… … … Marquis Cardin. Please take 3,000 soldiers and evacuate the residents to another country. It will be safer if you go over the northern mountain.”
“Yes? What is that… .”
“I am angry, but this war cannot be won. If you get dragged away by them… I will remain separately and defeat the enemies as much as I can.”
“That’s not possible!! Even if you go, go princess. I will stay here and fight!”
“… It’s a command. I cannot use those who believe in me and follow me as a shield, and I do not want to trample on their trust. Please follow along.”
But the Marquis bowed his head.
“… … … sorry. I will disobey orders this time.”
“Marquis Cardin!!!”
“… … … .”
“Please… Protect my people. The only one I can trust is you.”
“… … … .”
This is the “command. Go now.”
“… Can’t follow. It is really dangerous to withdraw troops like that in an unfavorable war situation. If we all work together, we can stop it. If it doesn’t work out for you, just kill God. Only the princess-”
Quagwagwang!!
“Ugh!?”
Suddenly the castle walls shook.
It was by no means a natural shock.
“What’s going on!?”
“Hey, over there!!”
The two looked out into the distance beyond the castle wall.
The soldiers standing guard also looked at him with their eyes wide open.
Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck.
A daunting army is approaching.
“Already!?… .”
“… … Is it already too late?”
Estella looked ahead in despair.
The head of the Uk tribe.
A semi-divine warrior.
Kaidor.
I could see him at the forefront picking up a huge rock like a living siege weapon.
yet.
… Shoo!!!!
A chunk of rock flies into the castle wall.
Kwaaa!!!
“Kaaaa!!”
The castle wall collapses in an instant.
The city shakes as if there was an earthquake.
I felt it right at that moment.
It’s a war that can never be won.
A decisive battle that could be the last has begun.
