Episode 1 The country of the east is in an emergency
In order to meet up with Iskar as soon as possible, Haruka and Belia rode the griffon directly towards the southern country, and at the same time, Iskar's army was also rushing back to the eastern country from the southern country at full speed.
When their army was about to reach the junction of Minami and Higashi, Haruka and Belia had already caught up with them from behind.
"Is that the army of the East Country?" Flying in the air, he pointed to the plain in the distance, and could see a mighty army of tens of thousands of people galloping.
Judging by the flag of the army, it was Eleanor's troops. ”
"I always feel that the scale is much smaller than before. Haruka couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the army he had seen when he left the country of Higashi before.
"On the one hand, the battle along the way consumed a lot of soldiers, and on the other hand, in order to travel lightly, Eleanor and her sisters abandoned the slow-moving large beast carts, so what you see now is the entire combat power of the East Country. ”
"It turned out to be ... It seems that they have been through many fierce battles like us. ”
"Let's go, land and join Eleanor. Belia took control of the griffin and rushed to the team below, and Haruka flew down with it.
"Haruka!!" Perhaps it had been a long time since he had seen him, and Iska looked even more excited than usual.
"Long time no see, Iska. Haruka beckoned to her.
"Are you alright?" said Gardia, who also stepped forward to greet him.
"So-so, finally came back alive. ”
"I'm sorry, I know you have a lot to say, but now we have to get back to the East Country as soon as possible, Your Majesty the Demon King of the North, please move to the beast cart and exchange information while we hurry. Eleanor interrupted their conversation, suggesting to the group.
"I'm sorry, you're right, it's better to get on the road now. Haruka nodded, and followed Iska into the only small beast cart left in the unit.
The carriage, which was supposed to accommodate only four people, was suddenly squeezed into five people, which was somewhat reluctant.
"That... Can you two not squeeze me so tightly... Haruka said with some embarrassment, it was supposed to be a place where two or two should be sitting facing each other, but Iska and Gardia couldn't help but squeeze Haruka in the middle, while Belia and Eleanor sat opposite each other relatively freely.
"I'll sit down first, so I'll let Gardia sit across from me. Iscar said.
"Isn't that right? Haruka sat down in your current position first, and then you forced him in the middle. Gardia retorted.
"Haruka specially gave me the place! You forced it in. ”
"You're the one who's squeezing in, aren't you?"
It seems that neither Iska nor Gardia are willing to back down on who can sit with Haruka.
"Well, either Your Majesty the Demon King, I'll change places with you, and I'll sit with them. Eleanor could not bear to see the two arguing over such a thing, so she proposed.
"Wait a minute!!Haruka must not leave!!" At this time, Iska and Gardia said in unison with a tacit understanding.
“。。。。。 ”
"Forget it, just squeeze it, it's small here anyway. Haruka said helplessly.
"Yes, let's give priority to the exchange of current information. Belia chimed in.
"Then let me explain what I know so far. Eleanor said.
In the time that followed, Eleanor explained to Haruka in detail what had happened during the attack on the Southern King's Capital. At the same time, Belia also briefly mentioned the situation of Sicily and Eleanor.
"It seems that the information that Chicas said is very likely to be true, from the beginning Hibbert's target was Sicily, in order to lure us away, he deliberately planted troops in the West and South to lure us to attack him, and he secretly transferred to the territory of the East Country by some means?" Haruka muttered to himself.
"Now that we have lost contact with the defenders of the East Country, and the Lord of Sicily is in a state of disconnection, I am afraid that the East Country is now under attack by the enemy. ”
"With the current progress, how long will it take to feel the country of the east?" Belia couldn't help but ask.
"It's about two more days, and that's already the fastest march we can do. ”
"It's been three days since the Sicilian doppelganger fell into a coma, and if you add two more days, I'm afraid it's too late. ”
"Yes, I think so, too, and if I continue to ride my griffon, I expect to be there by night. Haruka said.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!" Ishka understood Haruka's intentions and immediately objected.
"I think so too, if you break away from the large army and rush to the eastern country alone, I'm afraid that not only will no one be able to save you, but even you may take your own life, and the other party will see that our troops are moving slowly, and they will seize such a gap to carry out a sneak attack, so if you are in danger again, everything will be over. ”
"But do you just turn a blind eye to Sicili?" Haruka could not accept such a fact.
"Calm down, Haruka!" Gardia pressed her hand to Haruka's shoulder, "It's clear that Hibbert is much more cunning than we thought. ”
"Of course I know that! Before Haruka could finish speaking, the entire beast cart suddenly braked suddenly.
"What's going on!!" Eleanor quickly opened the door of the carriage and jumped out, stopping the entire troop in between.
"Eleanor-sama!! The non-commissioned officer on the side replied.
"What!?" Eleanor looked towards the front of the troop and saw that Sicily was standing alone in the middle of the road......
