Time flies, and it has come to H2031 in a blink of an eye. In the middle of the continent, the Undead of the Russian Bonddenland Confederation of Trade Cities is flooded, and the king and president of the Confederation of Trade Commonwealth, Clark Issa, sends a message to the human nations asking for help if they can save the Russian Bonddenland Confederation, if they can marry Princess Rebecca and inherit the throne. Explorers and mercenaries from all over the world flock to the country on a journey to save the trading nation.

Because of Canna's summons, Edward and Garcia arrived at the palace of the Meredes Kingdom. Kanna met them in the small parlor across from the dining room.

"Have you heard about the trading country?" Kanna gets straight to the point.

Edward replied, "I heard." The aftermath of the events of the Raging Forest decades ago, despite the fact that many explorers and mercenary groups have been fighting the undead over the years, in conjunction with the Combine of the City-States of Denland, Russia. But there are mutual deaths and injuries, and most of the dead creatures become undead, causing the number of undead to increase until it overflows. The country of trade can no longer hold on, and not long ago, with the throne and the princess as a reward, he asked the world for help. ”

Kanna nodded in approval and said, "Hmm." I'm going on a trip to a country of trade. ”

"Kanna." Edward took over, "I've known you for so many years, and now I know that you like women!" For the sake of other people's princesses, they are ready to take such a big risk. If you marry Princess Rebecca, who is the king and who is the queen? Actually, I'm not surprised, after all, you've always been a man, but ......"

Kanna walked up to Edward, raised her right hand and punched him in the abdomen. The plate armor in Edward's abdomen was dented, and he crouched on the ground in pain and couldn't make a sound.

Kanna smiled and said, "Edward, it's been a long time since you were promoted to a soldier, and your [taunt] skill has been mastered to the point where it can be used to make no distinction between friend and foe." ”

Still speechless, Edward shook his hand to admit his mistake and surrender.

Garcia said, "The undead are a very weak race, but they are very troublesome. To deal with the undead, you must use superior forces to inflict heavy damage in a short period of time. Those rookie mercenary groups that ran to death one after another for the sake of fame and fortune were the culprits. It's all about giving troops to the enemy. ”

Kanna said, "That's right. I was going to take the troops there......"

Garcia asked, "His Highness Francis disagrees?" ”

Although Kanna is the first heir to the throne, according to the laws of the kingdom, she cannot govern until she reaches the age of 16. The transfer of troops to expeditions to other countries is a matter of great importance, and the consent of the regent must be obtained.

Kanna shook her head helplessly and said, "I talked to Francis. He said that it is not easy for the army to go on the march. It involves a series of issues such as diplomacy, conscription, change of guards, food, grass, equipment, and so on. It takes at least half a year to prepare. ”

Garcia said: "The fact that the trading nation can use the throne as a reward shows that the situation is imminent. Half a year later, I'm afraid everything will be settled. ”

"yes." Kanna sighed, "Francis is a good man for everything, but he is too conservative in everything. It is indeed disadvantageous to the country to mobilize the people. And between our country and the trading country, there is a knight kingdom in the north and a desperate sand in the east, and there is no border at all. At first glance, it seems like it's none of my business. If this is just a war between the living races, there really is no need to intervene. But the undead are different, if they destroy the trade nations and turn millions of civilians into legions of the undead...... Although undead units are generally weak, they are ...... in the face of such a number Even if we and the Knight Kingdom exert our strength, we dare not say that we will win. ”

Edward, who finally regained his strength, stood up and said, "Yes. Fighting the undead is only possible if you defeat the enemy with a small sacrifice. A victory with heavy casualties equals defeat. ”

"I have asked Francis to prepare for the departure of 3,000 elite troops as soon as possible. Since he excused himself for half a year, I will give him half a year. But we don't have to wait here. I decided to infiltrate the trade country first, waiting for an opportunity to investigate the inside story of the undead incident. After all, under natural conditions, the transformation of the dead into undead mobs is a rare event, and it is hard to believe that this event is uncontrolled. In addition, it is said that there are a large number of self-aware undead in the army of the undead, which requires souls. It was not easy to snatch such a large number of souls from the original goddess of death. It would be best if you could get rid of the people behind the scenes. It's good to be able to get rid of some enemy bosses. It is enough to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate within six months. When our troops are in place, we will unite with the armies of other countries to annihilate them in one fell swoop. ”

Edward said solemnly, "Kanna, you have to think about it. This is no ordinary adventure. This is to get into the heart of the war. ”

"Yes." Garcia took over: "If you decide to go, we will follow you to the death." But you must promise me that if the situation is not good, you will retreat immediately. Don't mess around! ”

Kanna looked at Garcia with a smile and said, "I promise you." If the situation is not right, I will run away. ”

Edward, still with a solemn expression, said, "Okay." Let's go back and prepare. ”

A few days later, Kanna and the others finished their preparations, pulled Julia, and borrowed the knight kingdom. Four people and three horses for more than a month and a half, successfully arrived in the country of trade.
