Chapter 606

It’s been the fourth day since I went on a trip to help Eldmia.

“Didn’t their reaction suddenly become strange?”

On the third day, due to the unlucky encounter with the Demon King’s army from the second day, Siegfried, who had to continue fighting and stealth to avoid the enemies pursuing day and night, gained sympathy from all party members.

This is because everyone recognized that the pursuit, which had been followed by reducing sleep at night, suddenly decreased.

It would have been a natural thing if all of the invading Demon Lords had been unilaterally repulsed, but Siegfried and his party were on the move avoiding engagement as much as possible while being wary of the unknown number of enemies, so the enemy’s loss of troops was not that great. Siegfried, who was struggling to guess the reason for the sudden change, seriously pondered the possibility that they might have missed their mark, and then shook his head.

For that, the first start is already strange. Despite the inconvenience, they moved while avoiding normal roads, but the fact that their location was discovered, and the persistent tracking that led to the idea that they were watching with something like a satellite, are already beyond common sense. Now, there are many problems and questions to believe that the tracking ability has been flawed.

“I don’t think there’s any chance that they’d give up. They’re probably considering Zeke, the hero, as a solution to the current situation they’re in.”

“I agree with that. In cases like this, it’s usually better to stop the pressure because we’re heading towards the trap they wanted. What do you think?”

“Eh, Entire’s words have a point, but I don’t think we moved against our intentions or were induced. Rather, wouldn’t it be more correct to say that an incident that couldn’t chase us occurred?”

“That’s true, but where did such an incident happen all of a sudden...”

Siegfried, who naturally tried to distance himself while listening to the conversation of the three women, was speechless.

there was. Not the level that causes the incident, but the person who is the incident itself.

Others reflexively turned their eyes to Cheryl, as if they had come to the same conclusion, but now Cheryl is so calm that she wonders if the reaction she showed last time was a dream.

“Rich, did you catch it...?”

“If the opponent was not a demilich but a normal lich, I don’t think we can ignore the possibility that he would have died right away. Although there is a problem of finding and destroying the reliquary, due to the nature of Eldmia, you wouldn’t have known that fact and fought the lich. .”

Will it be too late this time...! It was Cheryl, who had been silently organizing her thoughts until now, who spoke to Siegfried, who had been thinking about such things.

“But... aside from that, from the perspective of the Demon King’s army, is finding the person who causes the lich to die really a higher priority than tying up Siegfried and changing the situation?”

When I heard it, I was right. If he’s dead, he’s in a situation where he can’t use his hands anyway, and dealing with that later won’t change the outcome.

It is unlikely that he moved from Thor. If it was possible to advance that quickly, they wouldn’t have bothered to share information by sending Eldmia. Wouldn’t it be more credible to say that Eldmia, who struck the lich, was attacking the rear of the demon king’s army, adding to the confusion?

While moving like that, it was Entire who awakened Siegfried’s consciousness, which had been engrossed in thoughts.

“Presence ahead.”

With just that one word, the entire party instantly corrected their posture and became wary of their surroundings. Thanks to this, it was not because he was tormented by the demon king’s army, but he was reminded of the fact that he was originally like this, and he was once again suspicious of how he had suffered from being caught in the demon king’s radar network.

But that was only for a moment.

“I don’t hear footsteps very often. Four or five? Considering that the demon lords we encountered were organized around 10 people... Maybe we are fighting somewhere else and then falling out.”

According to Entyre, I had to check my opponent to get even a little more hints.

It may be destroyed again, but first of all, access comes first. Siegfried used up all the batteries prepared in advance, aimed at the wizard, and dug in, and Cheryl naturally stretched out her sword toward the beastman.

“Whoa, watch out, lady! No matter how strong the handcuffs are, they’ll cut you!”

However, Suin completely avoided Cheryl’s attack by moving her upper body lightly. There was no time to be surprised at the movement, which had never been seen before, as the hand of the beast man stretched out at the same time as he evaded, touching Cheryl’s abdomen. It was a fast movement like the wind, unsuitable for a large body.

“You shouldn’t have eaten lunch.”

What followed was an unknown shock that seemed to shake the five organs. At the same time, I understood at once what Suin said.

Even if I reacted a little late, it was such a terrible feeling that I would have regurgitated everything. Even in the midst of this, Cheryl was poised to attack when the beast approached again, but the opponent simply raised her hands lightly as if keeping that distance was enough.

“We’re not the demon king’s army, friends!”

The beastman speaks calmly as if he has no worries about the demonic wizard being targeted by Siegfried. Stunned by his carefree appearance, Cheryl turned her head toward Siegfried and saw the wizard flying up into the sky before she knew it.

But no attack follows. They really didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting them.

In a strange tension, the moment the check is about to continue,

“You are a warrior of Ete.”

Despite not having any equipment, the beautiful woman who had been watching the clash just before calmly opened her mouth.

“We’re Eldmia’s group. If you don’t get their trust, they’ll tell you to mention a person named Laika... Oh, it’s not a person, it’s a Shinsoo.”

“Eldmia’s party? What is that demon army? Where is Eldmia going?”

When Siegfried, who had not cleared his doubts, pointed to the demon king who had been hiding behind the beauty and whispering something, he raised his arms with an infinitely serious expression and shouted.

“I am a prisoner!”

I would have done that if my hands were tied.

The demon army, who claimed to be prisoners of war, was very suspicious, but it was certain that they had no intention of attacking, so naturally Siegfried and Cheryl’s swords began to point to the floor.

“The employer judged that you could be surrounded, so he offered himself as a kind of bait. There was an attack by the Demon Lords, right?”

“...employer?”

“Ah, I’m talking about the customer. Thanks to the data I passed on to you, I was able to infer the situation quickly.”

“...customer?”

It was clear that the two of them were referring to Eldmia, but it was Siegfried and the others who were confused as to what they were doing.
