"Amilia, you're looking for ...... Me?" Edward was taken aback by burrowing into Emilia's tent.

He thought it was Emilia looking for him, but he didn't expect that there were other people in the tent.

"What about her?" asked Amilia.

Who she was, Edward knew very well.

"Gone. ”

"Oh......" replied with a blank face, and Emilia didn't continue.

"What's wrong?" said Edward.

Does Emilia care about her "sworn enemy" - the night, when the sun comes out in the west?

"You seem to be worried about her. As if reading Edward's mind, Emilia asked, "Is she in danger?"

"No ......"

How to explain his dreams to Emilia, Edward didn't know. In fact, even he couldn't figure out which was a dream and which was reality.

Maybe one day, he will return to the world of a million years ago and perish with the world.

"......" glanced at Edward silently, and Emilia stopped talking.

"Edward, you should have made your plan clear to us, right?" Arthas interrupted their conversation, frowning.

"En......"

"Hehe, Amilia, his plan is probably for us to bury him together. Alsace said in a strange way.

"What, funeral, funeral?" said George.

"Could it be that we will encounter enemies on the way back?" Flandor was also frightened, "It's strange that the prophecy didn't say that we would encounter an ambush......

"What did you say, Flando?" asked George in a whisper.

"No, nothing...... Edward, what the hell is going on?" Flandor smiled awkwardly, and turned to Edward, "Do you already know the enemy's plan?"

"Probably...... You should all know the outcome of the last southern expedition. ”

“...... So what?"

"So ......"

===============

Patiently explained to a few people from the Exorcism and Salvation Society that the army had already set off.

If you catch the demon king and don't kill it, you must let it be judged by God. Leaving the Demon King's Castle, the army marched towards the God-given land, "escorting" the Demon King with all his might, and rushed to the Cathedral - the residence of Pope Shera.

Unlike when they came, the mortal determination had long since disappeared from the faces of the soldiers, because they knew that they had won the war.

Edward and Emilia walked side by side in the procession, burying their heads in the road.

"Edward, you seem to have been busy lately. After a long silence, Emilia found the topic.

"It's okay......" In order not to be cold, Edward also had nothing to say, "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing. Emilia shook her head, "I'm just a little surprised. ”

"Surprised that I'm still alive and friends with these humans?" Edward asked with a smile.

"No, because of myself. ”

"You?"

"I'm not a brave man anymore. Emilia said lightly, "Even if I am no longer a brave man, I can still live well." I was surprised. ”

"Hehe, you should have understood this. ”

However, she became a brave man. That's not what I want to see. ”

"Emily Shah," Edward sighed, meaningfully, "she's brave, maybe even braver than you." ”

"......" Emilia glanced at Edward, as if complaining about his nonsense.

"Hehe, don't you believe it? Soon you'll understand. ”

“......”

The long-lost chat did not go so smoothly, and soon the atmosphere cooled down again, and none of them spoke, and hurried away.

"Edward, what are you going to do when it's all over?" As she hurried, Emilia asked absentmindedly, "Go back to the Demon King's Castle and continue to be your Demon King?" ”

"No, I want to ...... with you"

"Eh, huh?" Before Edward could finish his words, Emilia blushed and stammered, "Y-What are you talking about, I don't want to ...... with you"

"Why are you so excited?" Edward scratched his head, inexplicably saying, "I want to join you as a mercenary." ”

"Mercenary, mercenary?" Emilia blinked.

She almost said the word "marriage" after the "knot", but fortunately Edward interrupted her in time.

But why mercenaries?

"Yes, have you forgotten our agreement?" said Edward, "and when all is said and done, we will form a mercenary group, just like Audley and the others." That's your wish, isn't it?"

"......" Emilia was silent.

She hadn't expected it, even she had forgotten about herself, but Edward remembered what she had said.

That summer, she told Edward that if she wasn't brave, she would probably choose to be a carefree mercenary. Is that what she wants? She doesn't know if it counts.

As for with Edward......

"When the time comes, I will be the head of the regiment, you will be the deputy commander, and the name of the mercenary group will be called the Demon King Regiment? Edward laughed, "If you are with me, we will definitely be able to create the most powerful mercenary group!"

“...... Who, who's going to be with you!" Emilia panicked when she heard this.

"What's the matter, don't you want to be the deputy head of the Demon King Regiment? Hmph, I won't give you the position of the team battle!"

“...... As you see fit. ”

"Haha, you're still so unfrank, Amilia. "Come on, you want to join the Demon King Regiment, you want to be the leader. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. ”

“**...... Just because of you, you still want to be the head of the regiment?"

"Hey, why can't I be the head of the regiment?"

"It's clear that even the demon king can't be a ......"

"Tsk...... Am I not doing that for you?"

"I—I don't need to!" Emilia "self-inflicted ......"

"Abominable ......"

Edward rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight Emilia for three hundred rounds, letting her know that he was powerful, but before he could get ready for battle, he noticed something strange.

The troops marched, disciplined, and there was simply no possibility of lazy rest. There are only two possibilities for the army to suddenly stop in the middle of the march, first, the commander-in-chief personally orders, and second, the army is in trouble and has to be forced to stop advancing.

They didn't receive orders from Lance, so it could only be the latter.

The army came to a sudden halt.

"Huh, what's the sound?" asked Emilia curiously.

There was a faint chatter in front of them, which grew louder and louder, and from the front to the back, word of mouth spread almost instantly throughout the entire army.

“...... They're coming. ”

Stopping the argument with Emilia, Edward quickly ran to the front of the group.

Ahead, a man in a black robe blocked the way of the army, and he was the only one, but the entire army did not dare to take a step forward, quietly waiting for Marshal Lance's order.

Not daring to be careless, Lance personally came to the front of the formation and carefully looked at the person's appearance.

Demons, enemy attack, or, ambush?

Could it really be that Edward guessed it......

"Yes, is that you?"

Lifting his hood, Lance finally saw what the man looked like.

The soldiers panicked and looked at the man in the middle of the road in disbelief.

Why is he here?

"Bruno!?"

Lance exclaimed in surprise. (To be continued.) )
