Chapter 682
Radnelbandes doesn’t know Eldmia very well.
Strictly speaking, it was just a chance encounter. However, since Ragnis trusted him completely and Eldmia actively helped him out, he collected information here and there and evaluated him positively. However, it is true that he didn’t have much contact with Eldmia to say that he knew her well.
Even the information he obtained was usually picked up after some time had passed since the incident, with the opinions of those around him involved. This was the first time he had heard the situation in its raw form.
So Radnelbandes was flustered. It is certain that he is not the type of person to fight without reason, but that is only a third-party perspective that can be made with some knowledge of Eldmia. Eldmia was safe, but the Allied Forces that were moving were literally destroyed, so it was clear that chaos would break out as soon as the Kingdom Alliance heard this news.
Was it not completely resolved that the friction that had occurred while heading to Levien with the idea of the forgotten god had not yet been completely resolved? But the Allied forces that were moving now were heading to the Eastern Front, not for some other purpose? Radnelbandes decided to focus on reality, forcing aside the many thoughts that were running through his head.
Whatever it was, it was an emergency. The problem is not that Eldmia and the Allied Forces fought, but that the news is spreading without a clear reason being known.
“Is there any separate communication from the royal family?”
“Until now···”
“First, let’s check that out. Then, let’s contact all the cities and units that the crystal ball reaches to see how far this rumor has spread.”
Radnelbandes touched his forehead as he watched his vassals hurriedly leave the place as soon as the order was given.
It wasn’t long before I realized that it was too early to sigh, even though I had taken that action without realizing it because my head was complicated.
“Sir La Radnelvandes, the Allied Forces of the Kingdoms have submitted a letter of protest to the royal family.”
“It is said that the Kingdom Alliance troops currently deployed as garrison forces are gathering in one place! The Allied forces deployed on the Eastern Front have not expressed any intention to join, but the telegram says that they have stopped advancing to check the situation...”
“A request was made from the Masin Church to provide specific information···”
“The warrior of the empire···”
It was really a sigh too early.

“Isn’t spring actually the season of events rather than the season of life?”
Ragnis looked at the document in front of him again and again.
At first, I thought I had misread it because I was tired and my eyes were blurry. Then I thought it might be a dream. However, the content written in the text had not changed, and the cheek I had pinched myself still hurt.
“That can’t be possible”
Ragnis answered immediately as if it wasn’t even worth worrying about, got up from his seat, stretched, and continued talking.
“Eldmia’s actions may be emotional, but the process of bringing about results is very meticulous. If she fought the army, she fought because she was confident she would win. If she fought the Demon King’s army, I would have worried because there were so many variables, but if she fought the garrison, it would have said everything.”
Even Ragnis could answer with certainty. The Allied forces were so weak that most of them were useless.
The difference is so clear that it makes you wonder, “Is actual combat really that important?” The Allied Forces, who unknowingly applied to the Eastern Front and ended up facing the Demon King’s Army, lost nearly 30% of their troops from the first day. Since then, the one-sided losses have continued steadily, and most of them are now in charge of rear support.
Even those who are running on the battlefield are in that state. Ragnis did not believe that the authors who call themselves garrison troops and try to somehow prey on ordinary citizens would be able to display more abilities.
“Rather than the dispute over the union of the kingdoms, I’m more worried about what the saint of the Demon Church said. Since I can’t sense magic, I should be able to know.”
The smile on Ragnis’ face, which had been beaming just a moment ago, disappeared as he brought up the topic himself.
“To make it more clear, weren’t you trying to tie Ega Kyung’s feet?”
“That’s right. It worked better than I expected. But apart from the fact that it was more effective than expected in tying up Eldmia’s feet, we didn’t get any results.”
The reason why Saint Deoni, who flies in on a dragon, assigned the demons who cannot ride a dragon to Eldmia, who can be defeated in an instant, as escorts.
“Is it really true that the Demon King is trying to assassinate Eldmia?”
The identity was information about an assassination attempt on Eldmia that was obtained through some kind of route.
In fact, Eldmia has committed so many crimes that it is not surprising that an assassin could appear anywhere at any time. In fact, it is more surprising that she has remained quiet until now. However, in this case, the target of the assassination was more problematic than the assassination itself.
“I can’t help but believe it, since the number of masters actually appearing on the front lines has increased.”
Master level or similarly strong people
In addition to those who had been appearing periodically on the front lines, mysterious strongmen who had never been seen before began to appear more frequently than usual.
Even though it is frequent, it is only a comparison to what has been shown so far. It is still at a level that can be called intermittent, but it is also true that it is different from what has been done so far. At first, it caused a lot of confusion because there was no particular pattern and it only showed up and then disappeared without even participating in battle.
But not anymore. I found out that they appear by following the divine power or magical power that was intentionally spilled, and that they have no interest in the movement of the existing master-level ones.
The commanding officers concluded that the Demon King had probably drawn the sword he had been holding to protect the capital to cut down the demon warrior.
And if that were true, it would be a serious problem.
Even the warrior of the empire, Siegfried, did not receive such attention.
