In the following two days, the kingdom of Salz officially sent an envoy to the empire to discuss the formation of an alliance between the two countries to fight against the demons.

At the same time, due to the invasion of the camp by Balton, one of the previous Four Heavenly Kings, almost half of the defenders of the kingdom were lost, and at the suggestion of Grand Duke Sainz, the fortress of Valency was temporarily placed under the control of the Empire, while the king returned home with the remaining troops to regroup.

After helping the King's army rebuild the camp, Natalie is also returning to the Imperial camp, and Haruka follows her to the open space in front of the camp, where the carriage responsible for picking up Natalie has been waiting for a long time.

"Get in the car. Natalie took the lead in the carriage, then turned and held out her hand to Haruka.

“。。。。。。 Haruka hesitated, but still took her hand and got into the carriage together.

The carriage slowly drove in the direction of the Imperial camp, passing the wreckage of the fortress on the way, only to see that on the ruins, a huge Imperial warship was hovering overhead, huge stones and wooden stakes were transported from the ship's lifting platform to the ground, and the Imperial soldiers had begun to repair the fortress, and the commander was General Elche.

"The restoration of the fortress has begun, and the action power of the Empire is really not to be underestimated. Haruka sat in the carriage and looked out, the soldiers at work seemed to notice the appearance of the carriage, when they learned that Haruka was doing on the carriage, all the soldiers stopped their work and saluted the carriage, for them Haruka seemed to be the existence of the god of war.

"Oh, our Black Sword Hime is really popular. Natalie said.

"Well, now isn't the time to be sarcastic, is it?" Haruka smiled shyly as he waved his hand to the saluting soldiers.

"Haruka, what are your plans after returning to the Empire?"

"Haven't you thought about it, anyway, let's defend this fortress first, it took so much effort and so many sacrifices, but we can't let the demons take it away again. ”

"Really, it's really responsible. Natalie turned her gaze from the window to Haruka's face, "But what is going on in your heart?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've heard that the King's army is about to withdraw and return home, and Iska will be gone. ”

"That's right. Haruka said calmly.

"Actually, you want to follow Iskar too, right?"

"No, I'm just a little worried about her body, you know that, after all. ”

"Mmmm, I know what you say. Natalie said with a smirk, "The carriage stops!" she suddenly shouted at the coachman, and the carriage came to a halt halfway through.

"What are you doing here?"

"You don't have to go back, go with the King's army. ”

"Hey, are you crazy, if I leave now, what will happen to the fortress if the demons invade again?!"

"You don't have to worry about this, the demons won't attack again for the time being, they have already seen how powerful you and Iskar are, and they have lost a large number of monsters and mother beasts, and the other party will not act rashly before rehoarding a large number of troops. ”

"Are you sure?"

"It's okay, everything is under my control. ”

"What did the empire say, I promised the emperor to personally lead the imperial army to the expedition, but now I suddenly want to run to the kingdom, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain. ”

"No, I should say that it's the Empire's side that I don't want you to go back. ”

"What do you mean, what's going on over there in the Empire?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell, the Empire of Revelation is a chaotic future, and my hunch tells me to keep you away from the imminent changes that will take place in the Empire. ”

"This... Could the so-called change have anything to do with the demons?"

"I can't tell. ”

"What about the others?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep them safe. Natalie poked Haruka's cheek with her finger as she opened the car door, "So you go down quickly!"

Watching the carriage carrying Natalie disappear into his field of vision, Haruka silently said thank you......

After returning to the kingdom's camp, Haruka expressed to the king that he wanted to return to Artinia with Iska. This was naturally welcomed by the king, but Haruka still said many times that he was not for the kingdom's use, but still exercised the responsibility of crusading against the demons as a member of the alliance between the two countries.

The next day, the king's army gathered the remnants of the army, sorted out the supplies of the army, and began to set out for the territory of the country. The traveling troops were divided into two groups, with the Wyvern Riders marching through the air and the Earth Dragons loading and transporting large quantities of supplies for the sick and wounded.

Since Princess Iskar had not yet regained consciousness, she was placed in the dragon carriage in the center of the procession, and Haruka was also riding in this car.

"Is this a dragon car? I didn't expect there to be such a powerful vehicle. "Because it is the first time to ride the dragon car, Haruka looks a little excited, as the kingdom's unique means of transportation, the dragon car compared to the carriage, both speed and carrying capacity are much better, the huge dragon carriage can almost reach the size of ordinary carriages, the huge interior space is also decorated with a luxury, and the excellent suspension system also makes the original bumpy roadside become like walking on the ground, and the ride is also very comfortable, not lost to the Imperial air warships at all.

"How long will it take to reach the kingdom?" asked Haruka, looking to the soldiers who were accompanying him.

"Lord Kenji, at the current speed, if there are no accidents, you can reach the border tomorrow evening, and you can go to the rest room in the back during this time. ”

"Okay, I understand. Haruka nodded, looking at the scenery outside the window and quickly skimming back, and couldn't help but worry about the Empire, "I hope Natalie and they're okay." He said secretly in his heart......
