A few days later, Barn was drinking at the Moonlight Tavern and heard the Principalities around him talking.

"Have you heard? In the past two days, the queen has transferred all the troops."

"Yes, the Dark Elf Kingdom has suddenly declared war on the Duchy!"

"This group of imperial troops will definitely attack when the principality's national strength is empty, damn imperial people!"

When Barn heard this, he just listened to it.

————————————

After a five-day rest, I was dragged by Danio to the bulletin board in downtown Huttonmar.

Squeezing through the bustling crowd, we finally came to the closest position to the bulletin board, and we were able to see the notice written on it:

Dark Elf Kingdom - Van Ness slandered the Principality and falsely claimed that the Principality was spreading infectious diseases in the Dark Elf villages, and declared war on our country on this pretext.

In the name of Queen Skady, it is hereby declared that our country has nothing to do with the so-called spread of infectious diseases. The dark elves ignore our country's explanations and keep clamoring for revenge.

They are the ones who covet the fertile soil of the principality under the pretext of revenge!

We will resolutely resist to the end. Warriors who are willing to fight for the great principality, go to the Camp of Afaria.

- Queen Skady.

Four members of our Nicole squad are summoned to the town hall as the heroes who eliminated Lotus.

Queen Skady sat down and said solemnly, "Adventurers, you should have seen the proclamation. ”

The four of us nodded.

"That's just expediency, in fact, the Duchy doesn't really want to go to war with the Dark Elf Kingdom. Now that the two sides are in a state of standoff for the time being, I want to give you a secret mission. ”

Lobach next to me handed me a letter, and when I saw that the envelope was not sealed, I opened it and took it out to look at it.

Above: We were forced to move our troops out of desperation, but we hope that the war can be stopped. - Queen Skady.

I looked up at Lobach and saw her smiling and handing me a second letter, this time in a closed mouth.

"The contents of both letters are the same, just in case. "Adventurers, time is pressing, if both sides carry out, you will not be able to investigate this epidemic at all, so without further ado, hurry to the Afalia camp!"

——————————————

Nicole and the others arrived at Camp Afaria.

Waiting for them is the trio of mysteries.

"You've come just in time as we hope to postpone the war and investigate the pandemic. ”

"If we can find out the truth, we can accept it even if a war breaks out. If it had been a misunderstanding, this tragedy could have been avoided. What do you think?"

——————————————

The city swept by the virus, Neupella, was reduced to death overnight.

And in the shallow habitat, the group found Morgan, an alchemist who had gone deep into Neupera to investigate the contagion.

"Roar, ah, ——!"

The alchemist Logan has become a zombie who has lost his mind!

——————————————

Walking through the Spider Cave, the group arrives at the Dark Elf Graveyard.

One of Bakar's creations, the head of the evil dragon Spitz was sealed again.

The arrival of the adventurer has awakened the evil dragon!

————————————

Eventually, the crowd came to the deepest part of Neupera.

There, the source of the infectious disease was finally found!

The Sixth Apostle, the phantom of the Black Plague Diregi!

A great battle no less than fighting a real apostle is about to begin!
