War

(Didas point of view)

Im 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.

Its really so well, though it was faster than I thought.

I was relieved to see Lyle and just laughed.

Of course, Ill 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.

Its an offensive defense. From behind a barricade?

We can only use the minimum number of people. No, better said, we didnt even have enough staff at all.

Well, yes. but its weird.

Oh. If they start moving, this is a dangerous spot, but, at the same time, I can see their movements now, so its an advantage

Well, why dont we assign the people I brought and start attacking them directly?

No, honestly thats not good. This is a situation where the enemy side is taking a look at the situation every moment I feel that its 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, hes 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 Im thinking of restoring the name of the Voldic family after this, I guess its 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 didnt repaid it soon, I felt that she would be more likely to use a harsher system on us.

Thats 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 Acacias army advanced forces.

Lyle tells him as advice.

Oh, we have our own way of fighting. Dont worry, well protect the city. Weve got a heavy load in battle. Were 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 ruffians hand at war times. May I ?

It works, but only when our interests are in agreement,

At Lyles words, Grouse returns a light hearted reply.

Begged you please, we need to borrow some of your power

Ay, I was appointed already. Its futile to ask again. Its 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, lets 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.
