The barrage of explosions not only destroyed the guest room, but the loud roar attracted the attention of others.

There was a rush of running and the clashing of armor in the hallway.

Wales then rushed to the door of the already messy room with a squad of guards.

"W-This-!?"

Looking at the situation in front of him, Wales felt a pang in his heart.

Louise's room, not only the doors, but also the walls were gone.

In the shattered room, Louise struggled to sit up from her bed, and behind her was a bloodied column of Shesta on her arm.

Then, in tattered clothes and disfigured, Varudo was half-kneeling in the room with his knight's sword propped up.

"What's the situation!?"

Seeing Wales appear, Valudo, who lowered his head, laughed strangely.

"It's okay, since Louise can't do it on your side, let's achieve another goal first......"

Another purpose?

Standing up and raising the knight's sword, Valudo chanted:

“YOBIKISUTADERUWEINDE……”

After the spell was completed, Varudo's body blurred for a while, and then five Varudo appeared and surrounded Wales before everyone could react.

"Your Highness, your life--I take it!!"

"Protect Your Highness!"

Immediately, two more guards stepped forward to inflict the blow on the Welsh crotch with their bodies.

"Get out of here!"

Two of the five clones wielded knightly swords that wound the wind blade to knock the guards away, and then the remaining three stabbed Wales from three angles.

All retreats have been sealed.

Wales raised his sword to block the frontal attack, then rolled to the right with a low body, dodging the knight's sword swung by the clone on the left.

However, the Waludo clone on the right was already smiling at Wales, who had rolled to his feet. Stab the glittering sword down!

[Am I going to die here?]

Wales closed his eyes in despair.

"Ding!!"

"It's you again!!"

Varudo looked angrily at Shesta, who was once again in front of him.

"Humph!"

Shesta snorted coldly, flipped her wrist, and double-stabbed from the bottom up.

"Fluttering clothes!"

Flying in clothes, bare hands.

Shesta's move was as cold as ice, and the angle of the double stab was tricky, forcing the Valudo clone on the right to retreat. He immediately retracted and jumped back, grabbed the Welsh collar, and leaped forward, leading him away on the shoulders of a group of guards.

After breaking free from the encirclement of Varudo's clone, Shesta could no longer hold on, let go of Wales, and fell limply.

"It's okay!"

Welsh hugged the limp Shesta and asked with concern.

He didn't expect that Louise, the little maid, would be so powerful.

"No, it's okay......"

Sesta, who was held in Wales' arms, blushed and shook her head.

"I can stand up. Your Highness...... Can it be released? ”

"I'm sorry!"

After Wales helped Shesta to stand, he turned to look at Varudo with a dark face.

Seeing that the situation was defeated, four of the five doppelgangers blocked the guard's attack, and the remaining one rushed back into the room, grabbing Louise, who was still barely moving.

"Don't move! Kill her! ”

The guards threw their weapons, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

"Lord Valudo......"

Louise closed her eyes sadly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Why, why did you betray Her Royal Highness the Princess. Betrayal of Toristin! ”

"Why? Fearing for the future of Halkeginia, we formed an alliance of nobles that crossed borders. For us. There is no distinction between countries! ”

The avaludo clone holding Louise hostage said in a frenzied tone.

"Halkeginia will be united in our hands, and we will reclaim the 'Holy Land' where the ancestor Brimir descended!!"

"Before, you weren't like that. What exactly changed you? Varudo ......"

"Yo, don't be sad, little girl."

Suddenly, a dark crack cracked in the room.

Yakumo leaned out of it.

"You know, there are a lot of things in the world that can completely change a person. For example, the second dimension, such as the nail palace moe, such as the ship mother, such as Nicole Niconi, such as the ghost animal all-star ......"

…… It's cold.

Are you here to be funny!

"Yakumo !!!"

Louise was the first to react. Looking at Yakumo who was sitting in the gap, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't be afraid."

Yakumo waved his hand, and then looked around the room.

When he saw Shesta's injured right arm and pale cheeks, his face turned cold.

"It's just a fantasy created by using the uneven wind, a small skill of carving insects."

For a moment, everyone seemed to feel the air in the room vibrate.

Then, the four varudos that stood in the way of the guards dissipated like the wind.

"My magic—!"

The real Valudo, who had kidnapped Louise, widened his eyes. He looked at Yakumo with an ugly face.

Then, beneath his feet, the original shadow began to distort into a pitch-black pool of ink.

The succubus screamed and emerged from within, tearing apart Varudo's legs with a wave of its claws.

Louise, who was released by Valudo, began to fall down, but was slowly supported by the soft power and flew up, and was finally held in Yakumo Mo's arms.

"It's okay."

"Hmmm......"

Glancing sadly at Varudo, who had fallen to the ground and fainted from having his legs cut off, Louise buried her head in Yakumo's arms.

Holding Louise, Yakumo walked in front of Wales.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"It's okay, thanks to this maid lady for rescuing, I escaped."

Wales looked gratefully at Shesta on the side.

The little maid suddenly hurriedly wanted to bow, but accidentally pulled the wound on her arm, and her face turned pale.

"Don't move, let's go and heal first."

"It's rude...... Mr. Yakumo, Miss Louise, and His Royal Highness Wales. ”

Wales waved his hand and instructed one of the guards to take Shesta in search of the doctor.

Then, he looked coldly at Varudo, who had fallen to the ground.

"Arrest him!"

"Yes!"

◇

The matter of Varudo can only be regarded as a small episode.

It's just that getting a purple ring from Valudo's hand makes Yakumo very concerned.

Andor Ring of Paris.

Legend has it that it can resurrect the dead and manipulate the dead's rings.

This is the material that Yakumo Mo saw in the Torlistine Underground Archive.

I didn't expect to come across this thing by mistake.

In addition, it seems that this ring has other functions.

After Pache defeated the rebels in the harbor and asked the Welsh to take back the warship that originally belonged to the royal family, he learned about Valudo and asked Yakumo for the ring from him, saying that he wanted to study it.

Wales doesn't care about rings either.

The next day, Louise wrote to Ann Rietta about Valudo's rebellion, and Wales sent someone to hand over Valudo, who had been disposed of by Yakumo and had lost his magical powers, to the men sent by Torlistine to bring him back to the royal city for trial.

After the night attack by Yakumo and Pachouli, the rebels attacking Newcastle were severely damaged - the barracks destroyed by Yakumo actually stored all the rebel food and grass in the vicinity.

On the second day, the rebels, who had planned a general assault on Newcastle, had to retreat.

However, Wales would not miss such a good opportunity, and led the army of the royal city to begin the pursuit.

Yakumo always took action before the start of the war, destroying the rebels' air units such as dragons and battleships, and then bombarding the opponent's main Chinese army with a barrage.

Once the rebels were crippled, Albion's army began sweeping the tailg.

In just one month, the royal faction regained a large part of Albion's territory, while the nobles lost more than half of their army.

Soon, the army of the royal party advanced to Sausgota.

"Sausgodta?"

In the marching tent, Yakumo looked at Wales, who had specially called him over.

"Is there anything wrong here?"

"That's right."

Welsh, dressed in military uniform, points to a forest on the map.

"This used to be a place for rebels, and then word came out that someone had seen goblins in the forest."

"Leprechaun?"

"Yes." Wales nodded.

"In the previous battle, too many people were killed on the battlefield nearby, so we were worried that the so-called eyeblins were actually the spirits of the dead who died in the war, and finally formed resentful spirits."

"So you want me to investigate?"

Wales laughed wryly.

He also felt that it was a little bad for Yakumo to always be so troublesome, but he really couldn't spare people on his side.

"Okay, okay, goblin? I'm going to check ......."

"Then thank you, Mr. Yakumo!"

Wales bent down and thanked him. (To be continued......)
