Chapter 80: King Masatsugu’s departure.

Translator: Mr.Nobody

“Because all of the dead army is to be a decoy for it’s enemy 《??????????????????????????》.”

Meja with opened eyes fully understood that.

“That, it can’t be!?”

“Is that so? Rather, did you not find it strange?”

“Eh!?”

I asked him back from the throne.

“Dead army filling the earth.”

“…”

“Dead, army, filling, the, earth.”

After a brief delay I began again.

“How about it now?”

“…Ha?”

Meja replied idiotically.

The Anti-Masatsugu faction raised their voice.

“What are you talking about since earlier! The dead army filling the earth was advancing to Warm’s! The hero’s that came from summoning ritual done by the just former king are now destroying them. There’s nothing weird about it!”

That was said while yelling.

I reflexively sighed at that answer.

“It’s a splendidly perfect answer for an idiot. You aristocrats, having so much confidence in that answer, as a King I cannot help but worry.”

“What!?”

“Acting so important for a usurper.”

“Saying good things are bad…”

They refuted once again.

“Enough already and be quiet.”

“!?”

I won’t allow more tweeting than this.

The flustered nobles were hesitant to say after my quiet voice threatened them.

They have not approved my sitting on the throne, but they couldn’t help but accept my ability. They don’t know what to do exactly in front of a person with overwhelming capability.

I don’t want them to be spoiled. The answer is simple.

Saving the country themselves. Them feeling that is the only thing.

In that case, I should quickly leave this role and devote myself to the orphanage.

I’m not doing this role because I like to be doing it.

If I say it’s like punishment game.

To protect the orphanage, I have no other choice but to protect the Kingdom too. Unjustified debt had been pushed on to me.

I’m quite fed up with also protecting these nobles who are obese and rich and constantly waiting timidly for what I’m about to say next.

For that reason in the council I allow them to have opinions but haven’t allowed their passion to mislead the country.

To begin with, it’s not allowed even with the King’s authority.

“The dead army are marching. There is only point that sticks out in this neatly organized situation. The monsters that are walking on the ground are obviously a menace. But don’t you think that something is missing?”

“Something…”

They still don’t understand. I slowly raised my hand.

“The answer is…”

My index finger was pointing at the ceiling.

“Ceiling? Is there something there…?”

“No, that’s wrong, wait is that it!?”

Few of the ones that were quick said so in confusion.

“The messenger is here!”

“Ha,haa”

“What about the dragons, killer bee’s, wyverns and bats!?”

“Nothing! There’s only the dead army that fills the earth 《??????????????????》! There’s not even one monster flying in the air 《???????????????????????》!”

That was the first report.

They were filling the earth but there was nothing in the sky.

“Then, what is…”

“Could it be?”

Sigh, what do you mean by saying ‘Could it be?’

“You guys are really a carefree lot. Could it be, it’s opposite. It’s already happening. And they already there.”

“Ha?”

While the nobles were looking vacantly I was getting up from the throne.

“Master, are you going?”

“We have to prepare after all.”

Both Lucia and Laara are armed to the brim.

That’s right, they’ve been expecting this from the start.

That’s why, I didn’t separate from the throne until now.

If there was only the enemies on the ground, then me alone going there would’ve been enough.

But, I continued sitting on the throne.

Naturally, there’s also the role of being a supreme commander.

But, the real purpose is originally…

I began informing everyone.

“Everyone, it’s the decisive battle. The enemy has formed air forces and they are flying towards us. The target is the whole country! The dead army filling the earth was a decoy! Air raids will conducted all over the country! Their number is one million!”

Some nobles were foaming at my words and some had their mouths open and close.

“One million…”

“Winning is not possible… We dispatched all of the soldiers. We can’t win with the guards stationed here. Moreover we cannot defend the whole country from air flying monsters…”

“There’s no way we can pull the soldiers from the current battles!”

Defeated voices were leaking out from the nobles.

I gibingly laughed at them.

“What are you all saying. There’s me the previously demoted hero. Why do you think I stayed here?”

The nobles pointed their view on me at my words.

“Then, King Masatsugu are you saying that you can defeat the enemies in the sky!?”

A surprised voice came.

I just simply informed them.

“That’s what I intended from the start.”

“I’ve expected this from the beginning. Their trump card was to raid our homefront while we were going crazy about the dead army and doing our best against the ground enemies. The homefront is naturally the Kingdom itself. Us who were focused on the front had no soldiers for the homefront.”

“Honestly speaking.”

I laughed weirdly.

“Certainly King Masatsugu could be strong. But, as the King himself said it. The whole country is going to be raided by air forces. The king is certainly strong. He might be the true hero summoned from the other world. But, he cannot simultaneously protect all of the places in the kingdom!”

Count Meja said so.

“Naturally, that’s so.”

“Wha!?”

“But, that’s in the case if I didn’t prepare beforehand. I said so earlier.”

“!?”

“That’s right. I knew from the start that this was going to happen. The enemy that snuck in and mixed in the castle probably isn’t aware that I had noticed him.”

“Prepared, you say!?”

I nodded.

“The preparations are already done. Isn’t that right, Elin and Shii?”

Both of them nodded looking tired.

From their expressions it can be clearly seen that they’re exhausted.

For two days straight they maintaining a spell. We didn’t speak nor have conversations either. 《??????????????????》

“In the sky there’s a magic barrier made by Elin and Shii.”

At these words the soldiers and nobles looked to the sky from the windows. But,

“I can’t see anything.”

Sigh.

“There’s no need for it to be seeable. Right, girls?”

I asked the girls and they wearily made OK signs. This is their limit.

It’s totally understandable. Because

“Elin has made an ice barrier all over Warm’s and Shii has been supporting in the air.”

So that they can attack at any time.

“Wha!?”

“Such miracle by those girls…”

All of the nobles in the throne room were startled.

This is aegis. The shield to protect the Kingdom.

Right now the entire kingdom was being covered in ice which the two girls created.

It’s transparent that’s why allies didn’t notice it.

The enemies didn’t notice.《?????????????》.

That now, my skill “Protect” was reacting heavily.

The enemy is taking a chance to raid the Kingdom by looking at the front line violent situation.

And, they know.

The fact that the kingdom is protected with a transparent shield.
