284-278 End of the war

The infiltrators from the Duchy of Brange only put up a slight resistance at first, but as soon as they realized the futility of their escape, they were willing to open their mouths.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

With that in mind, I listened to the infiltrators, and it seems that Count Kamiya is funding it and the one running it is the successor to Viscount Baclay's family.

Viscount Baclay's territory is full of nature, but it doesn't have any famous specialties, so it seems that they catch bandits like them and sell them to the Mainlich family.

They probably have a private army running, so this is definitely funded by Sir Camilla.......

And I'm sure that Viscount Buckley's family was driven to that point........

Next was the story of the Countess Mainlich, but as the story progressed, Forenoire snapped midway through.

''You said it's a magic tool that collects spirit stones from all over the place and sucks out the spirits inhabiting the spirit stones!　If you do that, the spirits that were born at the last minute will die and the world will be out of balance. I will never allow it.''

And I was inclined to hold my head up too.

I never dreamed that Countess Mainrich, whom I met in Nerdal, had developed such a thing.

To be precise, I developed a magic tool to discover ores containing magic power, but since it was modified and misused, it is like I assisted it.

''You guys should be ashes too.''

'Hold on, Forenoire. That's not good enough.

Before I could get everything out, I stopped Forenoir from deploying his magic circle on the infiltrators, quieted him down, and then asked him to wash up and talk in front of the infiltrators, tapping the barrel of object X in front of them.

Perhaps it was because they had seen Forenoir's magic circle, but the infiltrators' mouths became very smooth and more and more information came out.

According to the story, it seems that the magic tools that collect spirit stones require rare materials, and they are still few in number and inaccurate, and after hearing that, Forenoire finally calmed down.

The conversation then turned to what the Duchy Blange had summoned.

It seems that on the day they were implanted with the power of the demon race in the Countess Mainlich family, the Institute of the Countess Mainlich family had a visitor.

The visitor had mentioned the name of the one summoned by Duchy Brange.

The men who had been awakened by the pain, perhaps due to the influence of taking in the power of the demon race, had very keen senses, and for some reason they could hear the visitor and Count Mainlich speaking clearly.

The summoned thing gave Count Mainlich an order to collect the spirit stones, and he was ordered to collect the spirit stones while placing infiltrators in various places.

They assured him that the person who gave the order to collect the spirit stones was the Grand Duke of Brange's royal family.

''So, in the end, what is this thing you summoned that has the power to take control of this world?

The men looked at each other, and the man who had not given up on his escape until the end opened his mouth to tell them.

''It's the patron deity of the Principality of Brange, the Light Dragon.

What?　I knew it....

I certainly thought about that possibility in the fight against the dark dragon, but I don't think you'll be able to win if you do it properly with the dragon.

''Well if that's true, then we'll have to go to the foot of the dragon in the Valley of the Dragon first.''

...where the Dragon God is said to dwell?

''Yes, there's a miko among my friends, and I won't let that Kouryuu (idiot) who was manipulated by someone else do what he wants. And I will make you regret fighting with the spirit that protects the nature of the world.

There was a sense of magic power rising up from the forenoir, and I could feel the magic power being sucked out of me, but I was too scared of many things to say anything or listen.

After obtaining information from the infiltrators, we removed the power of the demon race that they said was planted in them and entrusted their custody to the rubruk kingdom army.

On behalf of Lord Wisdom, who was too shocked and listless, I told the third princess, Lunoa-san, that I would visit the Rubruk Kingdom after everything was taken care of, and that I would be heading to the Imperial Army's fort from now on.

''I'm truly sorry, but it seems that I can't stay for long. When all is done, I will be happy to pay a visit to your country.

'I hope you don't mind. Unlike us, it's no wonder you're so busy fighting to protect the world. All that strength was to save the world, wasn't it?

I feel like I've been misunderstood in many ways, but it's not something I need to correct, so I just nodded and finished my goodbyes.

''Then I hope that peace will come to your country as well. Just to be sure, please don't attack where the empire has drawn back. I don't want to cause unnecessary casualties, so........

We don't want to get bogged down in the war any more than we already are.

Yes, I understand.

'You're growing up, putting in the proper checks and balances.

'What?　Oh.

Well, with this, Princess Renoir, who seems to have a good head on her shoulders, will be able to retreat without any problems.

As soon as we got out of the wounded camp, we immediately straddled the Forenoire, linked Paula and Lisian's hands together, and flew off to the imperial army's fort with the soldiers of the rubruk kingdom's army watching over us.

In addition to Lionel and Keti, Nadia and Lydia also seemed to be wounded, but most of the soldiers who were fighting on the front lines of the imperial army were lying around inside the fort.

By the way, the Emperor and His Highness Albert and the others were unharmed, and Gladys-dono and Melfina-san were escorting them.

''........Huh?　The slavers and Lysak are gone, where did they go?

He was not among those standing.

'There.'

I looked at the place Paula had pointed to, and sure enough, the slavers and Lysak were there.

However, to look at them, they were in tatters, and it was difficult to distinguish them without paying attention.

Sometimes it's necessary to be strict. But I can't afford to be so carefree right now.

'Well...'

We descended down to Lionel and the others.

On the way there, Paula coerced us to put the magic power into the ring, but we decided that the Imperial soldiers didn't have the energy to fight, so we refused this time.

He looked very boring, but it might delay the analysis of the Destroyer's magic stone by that much... When I told him that, he reluctantly agreed.

'Lionel, have you finished re-beating the Imperial Guard?'

''No, it seems there's still not enough time. I'd like to train hard for another three months or so.

Looking at the Imperial soldiers with a grim face was enough for me to understand that Lionel was a general in the Empire, after all.

As I told Lionel and the others the story in the Rubruk Kingdom Army while activating my high heels, Lionel nodded deeply and lumped the soldiers together.

''The Empire will now make a ceasefire with the Rubruk Kingdom and prepare for battle with the demon race and the people who control them.

The soldiers do not raise a rebellion, as most of them have fallen.

'We hereby realize that we have our lives because Luciel, the Wise One, defeated the giant undead of that lore, and we return to the empire to defend our empire.

Lionel assured me so, but what the hell is going on with the current general of this army and so on?　When I looked at His Highness Albert in the rear, he seemed stunned.

Lord Gladys is looking at Lionel like he's admiring him, and is he okay?

While thinking about this, Lionel asked me to activate the area high heels on the soldiers and heal their injuries, and they were more grateful than they needed to be, and then they arranged themselves into line by squad.

Lionel brought the Emperor and His Highness with him, and His Highness Albert gave the order to return, but few people knew His Highness Albert, and even if they did, they were confused because he was abolished.

But here the Emperor opened his mouth as if to mutter a single word.

''All troops must return.''

With that, the place fell silent for a moment, and then the soldiers got down on one knee and put their right hand on their chest.

'Act in sequence.'

When Lionel finally told them that, the Imperial soldiers began to prepare for their return, and in less than an hour, the first group began to leave for the Empire.

His Highness Albert was sinking, but since Melfina-san seemed to be recovering as well, we decided to leave it to him.

And we.........

''I told Lionel earlier, but I found out what the duchy is doing. I think we'll take a detour once and head to Yenis first today, and then go to the foot of the dragon to meet with the dragon god. Give me strength.

" " " " " " "

This is how we intervened in the war, and although some irregularities piled up, we succeeded in ending the war between the Imperial Army of Ilmasia and the Army of the Kingdom of Louvrek, just as we had hoped.

And although I wanted to return to the amphibians at the fort as it was, Lionel wanted to wait for me, and first we had to fly the amphibians to the imperial capital.
