496 Episode 484: Preparing for Everything ②

Having completed his errands on the Heavy User Island, Allen places his allies in the S-Class dungeon to help level up Klenna and Haku.

He continued along with Cecil and Keel to the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Ratash.

To do Princess Leilana's errands.

I don't know what the errand is, but Keel, who serves as a baron in the Kingdom of Ratash, and Cecil, the daughter of the Count's family, may be a good errand for now.

As soon as you head for the Royal Castle and the Count of Granvelle, the royal patron saint confirms to Princess Leilana.

(I wonder if Princess Leilana is on spring break now. It's time to go back to school.)

Allen reckons that this is the end of March.

Princess Leilana, the same year as Mash, is in first grade at school.

He lives in school on the same annual schedule as Allen and the others, so he is now in the Royal Castle.

The royal family came and asked to come to Princess Leilana's private room.

Allen was relieved not to be kept waiting.

Along with Count Granvel and the Commander of the Knights of Zenoff, Allen headed for Princess Leilana's private room.

When the royal family knocks, they are prompted to go inside.

Inside, Princess Leilana sits at a table.

As Allen sat in front of Princess Leilana, Count Granvel sat on Allen's left and right.

Zenoff sits behind the Count.

"Thank you for coming." You're busy, aren't you? "

No, if it's a call.

Allen responded politely.

I became a chief of staff of a great power and began to have an army, but there was no reason to be violent against the princess.

This is not because I am a royal family.

"Hey, I asked you to do me a favor."

What is it?

The Allen army is fighting the Demon King army, right?

Left side, please.

"I want my Ryback and his men in your army."

(Who's Ryback?)

Count Granvel, sitting beside Allen, reacted to the word "Ryback."

Ryback?

"That's right, I'll keep you waiting there." Hey, somebody call Ryback. "

The royal family waiting at the door left Princess Leilana's private room.

Lord Ryback is the former head of the Knights Guard and is now the escort of Princess Leilana.

Former Commander of the Kingsguard?

Count Granvelle cares for Princess Leilana and tells Allen who she is, in response to a question mark asking who Ryback is.

“You don't have to worry about me. Please explain it to me as it is."

Princess Leirana tells Count Granvelle that she is free to explain herself.

"I'm sorry." Her Royal Highness Princess Leilana "

In a word, the count began to explain his refusal to the princess.

Whatever it was, a man named Ryback was active on the front line for ten years to fight against the Demon King's army, and was later gathered by the ancestor as a Kingsguard knight.

After that, he went up to the head of the Kingsguard from his strong loyalty to the kingdom and the royal family and the crowds of his subordinates.

When he replaced the current king, Imbuel, he was removed from the position of head of the Kingsguard and became deputy head of the Knightsguard.

A few years have passed since she became Princess Leilana's bodyguard and martial arts guide.

(Was the king demoted because he changed from school to kingdom? No, that's not what I want to hear.)

It didn't matter if it was the Kingdom's factional problem or the original key positions.

All I've just heard is that I've been fighting on the front lines for 10 years.

“No, what is your talent? Is being from the Kingsguard a sword or a spear?"

I wonder what talent you have for joining Allen's army.

Cecil said, "You want to join the army? I tried to say, but Allen decided to sit back and watch the situation.

In particular, I had no gratitude or resentment towards Princess Leilana or Ryback.

"Oh, Lord Ryback's talent." So is he, but so are his men.... "

Conconnect

I've brought Lord Ryback with me.

Before the Count could finish, the royal family brought Rybak.

"Yeah, come in."

When the princess allowed her in, Ryback came along with several of her men.

In the course of his duties, he was a big man in armor.

Around the age of forty, he has a pretty big shield on his blonde hair.

"Just the shield...?"

Allen leaked his thoughts as he saw them.

Allen saw a man called Ryback for the first time.

I met with King Imbuel several times, but I hadn't seen him because he had been removed from the high rank of Knight Commander.

Ryback didn't carry a weapon sword or spear.

Sure enough, Allen and the princess didn't carry weapons, but Ryback was on duty.

No matter what it means to not have a weapon as an escort, Allen watched from top to bottom.

"Ryback is a shield." Since you've already changed jobs, you're now a Shield Saint. "

Originally two stars, the princess says, but has become a Shield Saint.

“I see you in the beginning,” Rybak says. Thank you, Lord Allen, for fulfilling my wish. "

It was an expressionless, hard-line tone of speech.

Is that a wish?

Apparently, it was not the princess's request, but the princess's attempt to fulfill Ryback's wish, that was the exact situation.

"Yes, I am the one who holds this shield and protects the kingdom." I want to get rid of the grief for the royal family. "

I raised my shield slowly.

Before the princess goes to war?

"Yes, it is."

(Even though you've been demoted, you're very loyal.)

This man, Ryback, loves the kingdom and is very loyal to the royal family.

Princess Leilana, who will be in her second year this year, will soon go to the battlefield with the Demon King's army.

Can I ask you a favor?

The princess wants me to join the Allen Army again.

"Well, that's right. I don't have a shield..." And how many people will you have with your men? "

It sounded like it wasn't just Ryback who would join, but Ryback who would lead.

It's about 500 shieldmen, and about 500 with swords and spears.

It seems that a thousand people from the Kingdom of Ratash will join us.

Allen gathered everyone's attention and waited for the final decision.

(Shield user. Speaking of which, you had a job like this.)

Allen remembers his previous life.

Indeed, there was a profession called shield user.

Use your unarmed shield to protect your allies.

Even in the game of my previous life, such a profession did not exist as a child, and I remember it as a profession that emerged from adulthood.

"There's nothing wrong with joining the Allen forces." The battle against the Demon King's army is fierce. I'll welcome you if you're prepared to wipe it out. ”

Allen knows that diverse occupations increase the breadth of tactics.

"I know you're prepared, and I appreciate it."

“By the way, my army is made up of a wide variety of races. Don't be biased against any race.”

The Allen forces will be joined by nations and races, and will have their first tribal unit.

I advise you not to be biased.

“Of course, I'll tell my men to do the same.”

"Yes, that's good." When I heard about the reward, I was surprised to hear you wanted to join the Allen Army. "

I wonder if anyone who went to the battlefield for 10 years would want to go to the battlefield again.

"Thank you, Lord Allen." Now, before Princess Leilana and the Princess go to the battlefield, I will expose myself. ”

Okay, okay, okay.

Ryback bowed his head deeply to the princess.

The knights in front of the door walked out to Ryk.

Well then, it's decided to go to the battlefield.

I wonder if it's under Ryback's command. One of the knights spoke to Ryback excitedly.

"Yes, my unit is now under the command of General Allen." Prepare to go to battle immediately! "

"I'm sorry!"

……

One of the knights thanked Ryback for his command, took permission from the princess, and left the princess' room.

Zenoff, who stands behind the count, looks at the situation quietly.

The princess was relieved by the momentum of the knight's departure.

Apparently, the princess was rewarded with Ryk.

"Well then, uh, what are your plans for the future..."

Allen's army had business to do.

When I tried to talk to Ryback about the future, Zenoff, who stood behind the Count, opened his mouth.

"... Lord, I want to return to the battlefield too"

Nuu? What?

Looks like we didn't have to talk in advance.

Xenov says his thoughts so that something that had been pushed in all along overflows.

Zenoff, like Ryback, had been suppressing the invasion of the Demon King's army in the fortress north of the central continent for ten years.

Because of the blockage and fall, Zenoff returned to the Kingdom of Ratash and was able to join the Kingsguard, but became the leader of the Knights of the Realm of Granvel, where he was from.

"I can still fight." I would definitely like to ask you..... "

The leader of the Knights Regiment of the Granvel Territory and the leader of the Knights Regiment abandoned his position and Zenoff pleaded with the Count to return to the battlefield.

(I wonder if the Baron's title has made him feel stronger on the battlefield.)

The destruction of the fortress, which had many companions, might not have allowed them to live in a splendid royal castle or as nobles.

It seems that many people continue to fight on the battlefield without seeking status, honor, or anything.

"I think you've fought enough."

"I'm sorry, sir."... the mourning of our compatriots is not over yet "

Zenoff's readiness is even more overwhelming.

The count exhaled slowly.

"Allen, I'm sorry, but can you do me a favor?"

“Very well, I would like to take over Xenoff in my army.”

"Thank you."

The Count did not refuse Zenoff's strong readiness.

"Um, Mr. Ryback. How long does it take to prepare the army?”

Confirm the status of Ryback's unit, which is said to be joined by 1000 people.

No problem, we'll be able to go to battle tomorrow.

Ryback says you can go anytime.

Everyone has changed jobs and has three talents.

Thank you very much. Now, after half a month, we will start the operation to destroy the base of the Demon King's Army, so please join us there.

(I think it's good that the Basque army failed to destroy the Demon King's base. Aim for the Divine Realm.)

Allen says there's plenty of time.

Heavy-user islands weren't the only gatekeepers preparing for Megadeth.

Huh? Half a month later?

However, the princess asks Allen again because it was a very sudden story.

"The battle is about to begin. Xenoff, Ryback, welcome to my army.”

Allen began to talk about the upcoming battle against two people who could not break their thoughts on the battlefield.
