279-273 Towards a ceasefire

How are negotiations with the Kingdom of Louvrek going?　Because of the progress, I decided to have Forenoire remind Lydia of the situation here.

"Apparently, things are in pretty serious trouble over there.

What do you mean?

I asked Forenoire secretly so that the upper echelon of the Rubruk Kingdom Army below wouldn't hear me.

''It seems that the retreating imperial army saw the emperor and Lionel and thought they had come to give a pep talk and their morale was boosted all at once. But it seems that the incoming emperor has suddenly declared a ceasefire...''

''........I knew I'd done it.

'There seemed to be a lot of people who thought we should use the amphibian to launch an attack. But I heard that Lionel agitated that if they're going to reverse the decision, they should show force first.

What are you doing here, Lionel I didn't leave you in charge of the Empire to fight.

So what's the situation now?

''They say they're retraining the imperial army from the inside out, and they've started training them in combat. They're going to start training the next emperor first.

.........Lionel must have had some thoughts about His Highness Albert too, apparently.

''The plan was to have the imperial army retreat to the imperial capital today, but........''

It seems like they'll give you a signal when you break the will to fight for now. If it's a demon, you can defeat it, but that's not always possible with the human race.

Well, let's leave that to Lionel. We've been working on our goal of defeating all the demonized soldiers. Or at least we've achieved our goal of turning them back.

Originally I hadn't thought of intervening in the war, but this will take away Lionel's remorse, and if the war between the Empire and the Kingdom is truce, the Principality will be slow to move.

Still, it seems like the reincarnation is in the middle of the conflict. It feels as if the reincarnates are the catalyst for the conflict.

Including me, there must have been ten reincarnated people.

The reincarnation of St. Surul's Cooperative Kingdom is me.

The reincarnate of Yenis is Lyna.

The reincarnators of the Empire are Alice and Hatri.

The reincarnator of Glandle is Cloud.

The reincarnator of the Principality of Brange is now Blood, the one who was robbed of the space-time attribute by the Emperor.

Considering that, it's not surprising that there are reincarnators in the Rubruk Kingdom as well.

Even though Nerdal floats in the air, he originally floated the land of the Rubruk Kingdom, so it wouldn't be surprising if there were reincarnators, but it didn't feel that way, so let's rule it out.......

''Luciel-sama, if you don't mind, would you like to have tea at the fort?

As I was thinking about this, I was approached by Lord Wisdom.

I decided to do what I could before that, so I decided to treat the soldiers who had been wounded in the war first.

'Sir Wisdom, before you do that, gather the wounded in one place. We will treat all the soldiers first as a sign of our trust.

'Oh. It's a wonderful thing. Now, I'll gather all the wounded soldiers in one place as soon as possible.

'Please. In the meantime, I'll go back to the amphibian once and brief my companions on the situation.

I understand. I look forward to working with you.

Yes, sir. I'll see you later. Forêt noir, please.

"Hold on tight.

Forenoire flapped her wings and gained its altitude in one fell swoop.

The upper echelon with a stunned expression below and Rinoa's Third Princess Rinoa, who was looking at him with envy, entered his gaze, but that was when he started to return to the amphibian because it was going to be troublesome.

Doh, doh, doh, doh, doh, a magic cannon was shot from the amphibian.

There is no doubt that it is a secondary gun from the fact that it is firing continuously.

The problem is where it was shot at, but apparently it was a pterosaur that was trying to approach the amphibian from the Imperial Army.

The pterosaur took a direct hit from the secondary gun and crashed straight into the imperial army.

''That one doesn't have much power, but it seems to have a lot of hit power.

''Yeah. The soldiers who flew the pterodactyl are probably injured, but I'm sure Lionel won't treat them....... I'm more worried that he's too excited and won't shoot at us.

"You can shoot at me like that and I'll dodge everything.

'I'm counting on you. If you fire one shot at me, I won't put you on the airship again.

That's just as well.

But contrary to my expectations, no attacks flew in, and we were able to get back to the amphibian.

I had Forenoire wait on the amphibian, and as I walked into the amphibian alone, I heard Dolan's unusual shout of "horse-deer-morn".

I immediately entered the bridge and found Lyna and Nanya sitting upright.

'Dolan, we're back now.'

"Master Luciel, I'm sorry, but I need you to fill the amphibians with magic immediately.

''It's fine but just floating around still consumes a lot of magical power?

They've been flying all the time, so as expected, their magic power must have become unbearable.

''No, these girls fired a secondary gun at the pterodactyl, but it was supposed to be a check, but they tried to shoot down the pterodactyl, and on top of that, they tried to shoot Luciel-sama too.''

"But you didn't shoot him, did you?　Isn't that good then?

It was indeed a close call that it was about to become real.

''If the airship had magic power, it would have definitely fired its secondary gun. If you don't fill it up with magic, it's going to go down soon.

Say that first.

We should definitely avoid dropping the amphibian first, rather than an angry Dolan.

I took over the controls of Dolan and the amphibian and poured my magic power into them all at once.

This won't make them fall off, but I decided to fully charge them up just in case, and decided to punish Lyna and Nanya.

''I'm going to have the two of you pour your magic power into this magic crystal sphere for a month, morning and night, until you're on the verge of depleting your magic power. If you skip it, I will not let you on the amphibian at all in the future.

Your offer to be my apprentice goes back to the drawing board.

Oh, no.

'Will you forgive me if I hang on for a month?'

Unlike Lyna, there was hope in Nanya's eyes.

''... yeah. But if you try to shoot your allies again, it won't happen a second time, so...''

Thank you, sir.

Nanya bowed deeply she was no longer on her knees...she was on her knees.

He then brought them back into place and the amphibian's magic power was fully charged.

He then tried to take Kefin and Estia to be escorted, but they were not on the bridge.

'I don't seem to see Kefin and Estia?'

'Kefin is drunk, as usual. Esther's in the private room for a little sleep.

Oh, yeah... hmm?

I suddenly felt a look and looked over and saw Paula and Lisian looking at me.

'What's wrong?'

Do you want to go downstairs again?

'Yeah. I'm going to go treat the wounded at the Royal Army of Rubruk's fort.

I'll follow you.

''But if you can, please head to the pterodactyl you just shot down, and I'll escort you to it.

Apparently, the magic stone sensor works when there are two sets of people.

''Take the two of them together if you can.

It's very hard to say no to Dolan when he even asks me to do it.

'Okay, but can you promise not to act too problematic?

"I do.

I will.

Well, Paula has become a force in the empire, and Lisian will be able to use spirit magic if the need arises.

''Then you two will be my guards.

I'm on a mission.

Of course.

Then I straddled Forenoire again, and the two of us decided to head to the pterodactyl we had shot down first, with the help of the wind dragon.

Come to think of it, what happened to the pterosaur troops that Forenoir shot down at dawn?　Maybe I'll look for them later.

With that in mind, he politely carried the two men who had become noisy in the dive.
