The Rising of Tanaka - 33 Part 2

A New Age

The fall of Majide fortress

This news was promptly delivered by a messanger sent by the fortress garrison. The Western National Alliance was racking their brains to come up with a countermeasure to deal with it.

The civil war in the western region had finally reached its conclusion, thus most of the troops sent to the city of Gokuri had been sent back to the cities they were dispatched from.

Gokuri, as a city-state, had also decided to join the Western National Alliance, and currently the Western Nation Alliance headquarters had gathered diplomats who represented their countries as well as military officers who were still at Gokuri to hold a conference. Among them, Aisa, Shosa, and Taisa, who were staying at Gokuri as representatives of the Torochi Kingdom, were giving their all to deal with this crisis. After convincing the representatives of each country who were ready to flee, they then proceeded to summon emergency troops from the neighboring city-states.

First of all, they had to strengthen the defense of the town which had turned into the front line, and prevent the swarm of monsters that had taken down the fortress from marching further westward. The preparations were quite an ordeal, but they still more or less managed to reorganize the Alliance army, albeit only of a small scale, before the monsters began to make their move. The Alliance army cooperated with the fortress garrison, who had already been stationed to defend the town that had turned into the front line, to build a defense line. For the time being, they had succeeded in setting up the arrangements to deal with the situation. However, at this moment, the Alliance headquarters was frozen as they received another piece of information delivered through a different route.

So this is what you usually call beyond imagination, huh.

Shosa, who was participating as the commander of the Alliance army, couldnt help but leak these words out as he stood in front of the spectacle spread before him. Originally, the road was supposed to be still continuing further ahead, but it was suddenly cut off there, with the areas beyond that point had already turned into a cliff. If you looked around at the surroundings, you could see that the cliff was stretching as though endlessly, as well as the slight curve it was forming far in the distance. They had come with the expectation of, with the area around Majide fortress as the center, a vast range of land had disappeared. However, even upon arriving on the scene, they were unable to exactly ascertain it. It was impossible to ascertain what was going on ahead because even at present smoke was still rising from the gaping wide hole.

This area was originally a mountainous area which was hard to march on. Thus, as the only road was now gone, it was safe to assume that the threat of the Purin Kingdom army had also virtually gone along with it. Moreover, when the headquarters performed further investigation, they found out that, let alone the monsters, there were hardly any beasts in the vicinity. The people of the Alliance army, who had been at the mercy of streams of bad news for a while now, couldnt help but leak out words at the world that was unfolding before them. The situation there turned as though they were at a tourist destination. Among them, shouts of joy could also be heard, as they had managed to luckily evade the looming threat.

Its not due to luck.

Sitting next to Shosa, Taisa let out such words as she gazed at the spectacular view in front of her. She could tell that the spectacle in front of her was not conceived by mere coincidence. She recalled the back of the man who departed in front of her that day. The man whom shed never doubted to be the strongest man in the world, and yet said man had to depart for the battle with the resolve to die. In a way, the spectacular view in front of her was an understandable result.

Youre right. We were saved by him yet again, werent we?
