Chapter 21: Defeat the Witch Cult (End)

The dragon cart carried the crowd and made a "clang" sound all the way through the streets.

It's the first time that the Pleiades have been so relaxed, and after two days of the big battle against the Moby Dick and the Witch Cult, it's time to relax.

"Petra...... Will you get too close? ”

"There's no such thing, is it, Pleiades?"

The brown-haired girl smiled, she sat on the left side of the Pleiades, and from the beginning of the departure, she had been holding the hands of the Pleiades and snuggling him very affectionately.

"Let me keep it like this until I get to the royal capital...... Well, I'm not going to lose to my sister! Petra stared at Emilia across from her, getting closer to the Pleiades.

"Huh? What are you talking about...... Amilia, she's just a child's gibberish, don't show that expression. Seeing Amilia's embarrassed expression, Pleiades hurriedly explained.

"Ahem...... I said," I came out to get around the topic, "there are still a lot of things to deal with after arriving in the royal capital, first of all, the issue of Rozval's accountability - this incident is not a small commotion, but what has our noble border lord been doing the whole time, telling everyone that he is hiding in the 'Sanctuary' and waiting for reinforcements?" What does Cruxiu do as a lord? Didn't Rozval have a sense of responsibility and basic shame towards his people? ”

I also think it's very strange, what is Rozval thinking, he says that he is a supporter of Emilia's royal choice, and he can't even see a single hair at the critical moment, no matter what Emilia is, the villagers of Alam Village are his people, and he doesn't care, what good does it do for him to slaughter his territory by the Witch Sect, I really don't understand it - but one thing is confirmed, this is a cold-blooded ruthless and untrustworthy person, plus his strength is strong, he must not be taken lightly.

"That...... Didn't Rozval take the villagers to the 'Sanctuary' for refuge? Emilia said.

"He? I'm sorry, but I confirmed to Ram that Rozval had been in the Sanctuary two days ago, and he hadn't taken anyone with him to take refuge," I said coldly, "Presumably the Venerable Frontier Lord thinks his life is more important, right?" However, I think this explanation is also far-fetched - even if Rozval, the strongest magician in this country, can't protect all the people, it is more than enough to protect himself, is it necessary to be afraid and hide in the 'holy realm', I am afraid that only Rozval himself knows best. ”

There was an embarrassing silence for the "......", and both Pleiades and Emilia realized that things were indeed not simple.

"Hey, little brother, is that you?" It was the voice of the orc Ricardo.

"I'll go check on the situation, Pleiades, and you'll stay in the dragon cart with Emilia and Petra." After saying that, she got out of the car, and Ricardo in front of her was waving at her.

"Ricardo, what's the matter with you?"

"Oh! Is it Your Excellency? Did you see Klushe's convoy? ”

"I didn't see it, what's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, we're the Iron Fangs and Klusiu's men and horses have discussed meeting in the town in front, but we haven't seen half a figure for a long time after the time of convergence, so we rushed back to look for you the same way and met you here."

"Will they get lost?"

"How is this possible, it has been traveled many times."

"So, it looks like we're going to have to take some measures to search the convoy......"

On the dragon cart, Pleiades plucked up the courage to confess his heart to Emilia-

"Ah, that, Amilia...... I have something very important to say to you—it's ......"

"What is it?"

"It's hard to talk about, but I hope you'll hear it, that ......"

The question that Pleiades had to tell Emilia was an irretrievable one—a matter of rem, of course.

"Actually, it's about Rem. Rem ...... me That one...... You get the idea, right? That, although it's a bit willful to do so after confessing to you like that......" Pleiades' forehead was sweating profusely, desperately thinking about the next line.

"Wait a minute......" Emilia interrupted the sweaty Pleiades, "Pleiades, calm down, I know you're trying hard to say something, but it doesn't have to be this way, Pleiades is a good boy, speak slowly." ”

"It's a shame to say that good boy or something! No, I'm too ungentlemanly. Ahh That one...... In fact, Rem said that she likes me, and if Emilia likes me too, then ......" Pleiades was really panicked after making a domineering statement about stepping on two boats, how would Emilia react - most likely contempt for her own flowers.

"That...... Pleiades ......" Emilia blushed, ashamed and angry, as if she was about to explode.

"Huh! No, no, no, I was joking, don't take it seriously, Amilia! …… Amilia, what's wrong with you? After seeing Emilia's next expression, the Pleiades were a little confused.

"Pleiades, because I'm a half-elf, I'm always rejected by the people around me, and I'm glad that you're different from everyone else and can treat me as an ordinary girl. But you're going to be unfortunate with me. So...... Rem's words. ”

"Pleiades, something happened to Rem." Before Emilia could finish speaking, a hurried voice rang out, and I ran over with a dying Rem in my arms.

"Rem?" The Pleiades took the maid and held her on the bench on the other side of the dragon cart, and the Pleiades shouted tentatively, looking at the scarred maid with a look of worry in her eyes.

"Pleiades...... Jun, Emilia...... My lord? Hearing the shout, she barely opened her eyes with the only remaining strength, and looked at the worried eyes of her sweetheart in front of her, and the blue-haired maid showed a reassuring expression.

"Chu Xuan, where did you find Rem? What's going on? Rem who hurt you like this? Didn't you go with Krusius and the others to transport the head of the white whale and join us in the town ahead? Pleiades looked at Rem's injuries and asked eagerly.

"I found it in this annex, and this ......" In the middle of speaking, I took out the completely unusable contact device from my bosom and gently pinched it and turned it directly into powder.

"This ......" Pleiades was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a while.

"It seems that Rem and the others were attacked, and Rem tried to contact me but the contact was broken by the other party, indicating that the other party didn't want us to know about it. However, the danger sensing teleporter on Rehm's body was intact, but the energy was exhausted, and Rem should have felt the danger of his life at the critical moment, and the sensor played a role, and Rem was teleported to this vicinity. Still with that indifferent look, I pushed my glasses as if I didn't care about anything, and calmly analyzed.

"Mistress Crushius...... Priest of Grave Sins...... Ahem......" Rem coughed heavily before he could say two words, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were half-open.

"Hey, Rem, don't talk when you're so badly injured, I'll help you heal your wounds first." On the other side, Emilia's words of concern came, and her hands gathered Mana to use healing magic to heal Rem's wounds.

"Rem, Rem...... Stop the bleeding first, towel. Rem's reaction made the Pleiades scramble and panic.

"Calm down, Pleiades. Emilia is still being treated, and Rehm, although seriously injured, is not fatal and is not life-threatening for the time being. Emilia's treatment is still ongoing, and Rem is still unconscious. After examining Rem's injuries, I pushed my glasses and calmly analyzed them.

[It seems that it is not just trauma...... It was likely to hurt the door, as well as serious internal injuries. Witch Cult ...... Priest of Grave Sins ......]

"There are so many people in this operation that only Rem has returned," Calm down the emotional Pleiades, and I will begin to analyze what happened to Rem and them" Rem's last words indicate that they were attacked by the Witch Sect, and they are still the Priest of Mortal Sin...... Before that, we had just finished the Moby Dick campaign, and then we had solved the Great-Sin Priest Petilcius. Judging from the blank letters sent to the mansion before, it is likely that the Rem and the others were attacked before we could finish solving the great sin priest Petyrgius. It seems that the Witch Cult has received the news, so only Rem, who transported the head of Moby Dick, has been attacked by the Witch Cult. The hazard sensing teleporter I had given her worked to get her to us. Then the others may ......"

"Chu Xuan, don't say it, Kluxiu and the others will be fine." My words seemed to stimulate the nerves of the Pleiades, and the emotions that had finally been calmed down began to stir up again.

[Because I don't want to face the facts I said, I start to run away, even if I don't want to face it, I will face it in the end...... What mortal wisdom! 】

"Pleiades, Chu Xuan, don't talk yet, I'll take care of Rem. You both go out first to give Rem a good rest. After the treatment, Emilia interrupted us arguing and gently stroked Rem's cheek. Rem slept peacefully like a child, and it was unbearable to be disturbed.

Looking at Rehm, who had no obvious external injuries, Pleiades finally quieted down and slowly got out of the dragon car, hesitated for a moment, looked back at Rem and reluctantly walked out.
