In a flat forest in the southeast of the continent of Heras, this large green forest is connected like an ocean.

In the middle of this forest, an ancient, sprawling castle stands out. This is the castle at the junction of the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves - "Gether".

This ancient castle has survived many years, and it is amazing that its walls have not suffered much erosion, and most of the castle buildings have been preserved.

In this sparsely populated castle, there are three armies of completely different races stationed at this moment.

They are the haughty elves, the bold and open dwarves, and the more modest humans, and the three teams in turn keep a guard around the castle.

The elves, dwarves, and humans looked at each other fearfully in the city, and although they had exchanged several times with each other, they did not let down their guard in the slightest.

When they looked together at the inner fort in the center of the castle, they all had a look of respect on their faces.

There is no decoration in the temple of Gessenenburg, only minimalist and simple stone objects. A secret room in the hall, guarded by two battle-hardened guards outside the door.

The interior of the room is large and has a stone table in the center. The three stone chairs were placed around the stone table in an orderly circle, and three people of very different races were sitting on the stone chairs in this secret meeting at this moment.

The heavily armored dwarf looked at the two humans and elves in front of him who were constantly discussing things, and his expression began to become a little serious.

"So, the three nations of your human race have unanimously decided to unite?" asked the male elf in simple, light armor to the male human sitting across from him with a steady face.

This male elf in plain armor, his silver hair, makes his temperament more mysterious and stylish. In his blue eyes, nothing seemed to be able to fool him.

"Yes, His Highness Hoyle. Within our human race: the Slanth Republic, the Marlene Cult, and the Solovy Empire have unanimously decided to put aside the past and join forces. ”

Upon hearing the inquiry, the human, with a calm face, told the elf named Hoyle about the current situation in the clan.

"Sounds good, but are you really not going to drop the chain again this time?Charliese, I'm very worried about your army!"

Just as the human had finished speaking, the dwarf with a serious expression suddenly spoke.

"It's unsettling indeed......" Howl mused as he heard the dwarf's words.

"Maud, Hoyle, please believe us humans this time. The Republic, the Church, and the Empire have formed an army, and there will be no surprises this time. ”

Looking at the two allies in front of him who didn't believe him, Charlie said to them sternly.

"It's not that we don't believe you, there's so much infighting between your nations! Remember the war years ago, when we could have wiped out the orcs and the goblins like garbage, but you suddenly retreated. How can we trust your people?!"

After hearing what Charlie said, Hoyl suddenly looked a little annoyed and asked.

"It was a dereliction of duty on our part at that time, but this time we would never make the same mistake. Charleser said to Hoyle with a respectful face.

Maude, who was sitting on the stone chair, didn't pay attention to what Charleser said, he took out the bottle he was carrying, opened the mouth of the bottle, and poured it into his mouth a few sips.

Hoyle frowned when he smelled the strong smell of wine, though he didn't show some resentment.

"Your Highness Hoyle, I heard that the little princess of the noble Elven King is missing... Is it?" asked Charlie cautiously as Hoyle sat on the stone chair with an embarrassed face.

"Who are you listening to?" Hoeil asked coldly, and there was already some murderous intent in his tone.

"If the noble princess... Falling into the garbage-like ......"

Charlie said softly, a slight curvature at the corners of his mouth.

"Shut up !!"

Hoyle yelled at Charlesbeth in a loud voice, and his enraged mana had fluctuated violently, and many small cracks had appeared on the stone table in front of him.

Seeing Hoyle's reaction like this, Charlie didn't say anything, his purpose had been achieved at this moment.

"Don't be so angry, lad. Maud closed the bottle and tried to regain his composure.

“......”

But Hoyle ignored Maude's greeting, and his face turned fierce with anger.

――――

"Brother, I'm going on a trip today, don't worry about me so much~ I'm not a child anymore!"

If I had stopped her, she wouldn't have disappeared.

Damn! Why... Why... Why didn't you hold her at that time!!!!

Remembering her face, Hoyle gritted his teeth with some regret.

――――

Hoyle was silent for a moment, then looked up at the calm-faced human in front of him.

"We elves have agreed to join the war, but I hope you humans won't drop the chain by then!" Hoyle's voice was a little low, and he said word by word, and a murderous intent was fully expressed in his tone.

After hearing Hoyle's reply, Charleser nodded in satisfaction and thanks, and the next step was to listen to Maude's reply.

"Whew-"

Maud gasped and relaxed, he looked at the two of them and smiled.

The atmosphere on the stone table became very subtle, and Charlie waited for Maud to speak, while Howle thought about something with a gloomy face.

"'War is not a good thing. This is what our king used to say, we dwarves are neutral. Charlesser, if you humans want to bring our people to war, pay for it. And my people don't like to be untrustworthy, remember!"

Maude said heartily and heroically to Charlese with a calm face, and at the same time he secretly warned Charlese in front of him.

Hearing Maude's reply, Charlesser's face twitched inexplicably.

"Okay, I'll explain to the king what the nobles want. Charleser nodded to Maude.

"Then for the sake of the future of the Hellas continent, we must win this war!" Charlie said with a high expression as he stretched out his right hand to Hoyle and Maud.

Seeing this, Hoyle and Maud also extended their right hands to Charlesor, and the three of them put their right hands on each other's hands.

"For the sake of the continent of Heras, we will expel the orcs and goblins!!" Charlesser, Maud, and Hoyle said in unison......

After the meeting, Hoyle of the Elves, Maud of the Dwarves, and Charleser of the Human Race left the ancient castle one after another.

(After winning this war, it will be time for us to fight the elves and dwarves.) ）

Charleser rode his horse and led his team back in the direction of the Republic of Slan......

(Human... Sure enough, I still can't believe it...... ）

Maud also set out with his own team to his own territory......

(Sister...) Please wait, I'll definitely save you!)

"Let's go!"

Joyle showed off the wings on his shoulders and back, and the transparent wings that emitted a faint glow were particularly beautiful. He controlled his wings and flew into the air at breakneck speed, and the elven team behind him followed Hoyle.

When the elves had all left, the ancient castle of Gaser fell silent again, as if the elves, dwarves, and humans had never been there.

――――

In the Herras continent, the gears of fate have begun to turn slowly......
