55 - Episode 22 White Knights Decided to Launch

The meeting room of the Palace of the Queen Elf Kingdom.

The meeting was held urgently because important information about the "Mystery Tower" had been gathered.

The Red Dragon is living in the Mysterious Tower!

Lief VII, sitting in the upper seat, makes a screeching sound when he hears the documents & report.

The conference room buzzed as she did.

The Prime Minister, on the left of Queen Lief VII, looks serious but cannot hide his joy in his heart, while Hardy, the leader of the "White Order" on the right, closes his eyes and falls silent.

The other bureaucrats and the leaders of the Order listen to the report of the "Dragon in the Giant Tower" and exchange opinions with those sitting next to each other.

When the murmurs have calmed down, the Prime Minister begins to speak.

I never thought dragons lived in giant towers. ...... If you go from the capital to the "mysterious giant tower" on the ground, it is a reasonable distance. But if you were to be carried through the sky on the wings of a dragon, that distance would be a blink of an eye!　You never know when they will fly to the roads leading south or to our capital city and burn it to the ground!"

I'm sure you're right. ......

............"

Queen Leaf VII is bitter, and Hardy closes his eyes and remains silent.

The Prime Minister, on the other hand, looks at her and says, "My beloved country is in danger! But he cannot hide his delight at the opportunity to give Hardy a shot in the arm.

But in fact, as the Prime Minister pointed out, the distance between the "Giant Tower" and the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom is a reasonable distance if you are traveling on the ground, but with dragons it is a different story.

With the wings of a dragon, the distance between the "Giant Tower" and the capital of the Queen Elf Kingdom is just a stone's throw away.

It would be like discovering a bomb next to your house that could explode at any moment.

If not dealt with as soon as possible, it is a matter of life and death.

In other words, in order to overcome the forest that is sure to be overrun with high-level monsters and to get rid of the dragons lurking in the "Giant Tower," the "White Knights," the highest military force of the Queen Elf Kingdom, must be deployed.

...... Prime Minister, how accurate is the information?"

Quiet Hardy," the leader of the "White Knights," who had remained silent until now, asks.

The Prime Minister answered while turning over a document.

There are two reports. The first one seems to have come from a group of adventurers via the Adventurers' Guild in the capital. It seems to be a party of up-and-coming 'black clowns' who were active in the dungeons of the dwarves. They discovered that an elven race had betrayed some knights and were repeatedly committing barbaric acts such as "killing adventurers," and they reported it to the guild.

The "elf species who betrayed some knightly order" refers to Kite, a former member of the White Order.

The Prime Minister also includes his case in his remarks to Lief VII and Hardy.

Lief VII hides his abhorrent expression with a fan, while Hardy keeps his expression.

The Prime Minister continues his story in a good mood.

The other case is a few days behind the race. Sasha, the fiancée of Mikael, the vice-commander of the White Knights, is worried about her country and hired an elf adventurer at her own expense to investigate the matter. Well, Mikael has a wonderful fiancée. He risked his own life for his country, and even spent his own money to research the "Mysterious Tower" and bring back information about dragons!　She is the elf-woman among elves!"

Deputy Commander Michael and the Prime Minister are connected behind the scenes.

The vice-commander is trying to overtake "Hardy," the leader of the group, and become the leader himself, while the prime minister is trying to destroy the matriarchy and change the social structure to favor men.

Since both parties' intentions are currently in line with each other, they are working hand in hand.

Despite the national crisis of the discovery of a dragon in the suburbs, court politics are still being played today, and the allies are repeatedly pulling each other down.

Naturally, both King Lief VII and Hardy are aware of the behind-the-scenes connections and schemes, but they cannot outwardly accuse each other, so they have no choice but to remain silent at the moment.

Hardee hears the Prime Minister's praise of the vice-commander and examines the information that is available.

If similar information has been submitted by human (inferior species) adventurers and elf species adventurers,......2, is there a high degree of certainty,......?

If it were only one of either racial (human) or elven species adventurers, we could have said, 'We should focus a little more on gathering information because the information is uncertain.

However, similar information came from each of the two species. It is almost certain that dragons live in the Mystery Tower.

Furthermore, the characteristics, length, and expected level of the "giant four-legged beast with a snake tail" that comes and goes with the dragons in the "mysterious giant tower" (500 or more for sure1) are also known. Sasha had raised the information that it might be over 1,000), and detailed information about their range of activities.

The fact that at least two types of high-level monsters inhabit the area suggests that the "Mystery Tower" may be a high-level dungeon that has appeared above ground." The Adventurers' Guild member who compiled the information wrote his opinion in the document.

In addition, information on the types of monsters evicted from the depths of the forest, their expected levels, characteristics, range, and dangerous places where they are gathering, as well as a map, were also provided.

The Prime Minister was sarcastically told by Hardy at the last meeting.

At that time, he could not refute Hardy's comments, his pride was hurt, and he could do nothing but bite his teeth, but this time was different.

He could not hide his joy at being able to return the favor in front of the public and asked Hardy, who was sitting in front of him, with a grin on his face.

You wouldn't say 'no,' would you?"

............"

Hardee can't even say 'not enough information' with all this.

Lief VII's face, hidden by his fan, is increasingly frowning, and Hardy's face is unusually contorted as if he is trying to squeeze it out of his mouth.

He said, "By all means ....... The Red Dragon will be defeated by my White Knights. I guarantee it. ......!

Thus, the "White Knights," the highest military force of the Queen Elf Kingdom, decided to attack the "Mysterious Giant Tower.
