Chapter 80: 80
"Protect the fleeing people! Don't let them go!"
Leo instructed him with all his voice . Leos heading to Bassau immediately noticed a giant black sphere floating over Bassau . Seeing the anomaly of the black sphere, Leo immediately began preparing for combat and gave a purple smoke that signaled an emergency . Leo perceived that such a black sphere was heterogeneous, and anything that was intuitive was bad . It was beyond Leo's understanding that I had never seen, and at the same time, what happened was also beyond Leo's understanding . The only salvation would have been to correct the restraint of the Guard Knight, who advised that it was too premature, and raised the purple smoke .
"That!"
Leo swings his sword while riding . At the end of the cut was a monster with only bones . It is a lower class monster called a skeleton . It is a special monster belonging to the undead type, and it is a monster that rarely occurs normally . He crushed his weakness, the chest, and Leo defeated him, but it was stone and water . A skeleton was springing out of Bassau as if the water were overflowing from the glass . The number is just visible, and hundreds are useless . The people of Bassau fled from such a skeleton corps .
"His Highness Leonard! Please go down!"
Saying that, the Guard Knight instantly cuts off the skeleton around Leo . However, no matter how much you cut, the skeleton will spring up .
"There is no drill! Let's retreat once!" "No, stop here . "
Tr a ns l a t ed b y jpmtl . c oｍ The knight screams at Leo's judgment . Leo and his guard, the Knights of the Guards, are here . The rest is Lynfia, and Abel and his party members . Whether it reaches twenty in total . Stopping hundreds of skeletons was impossible at all .
"If you retreat here, the fleeing people will be turned away . Don't retreat . Keep the front at this spot . " "If so, please drop your Highness!" "I won't go down . What else to say?"
Leo asks while cutting the skeleton . It's easy to retreat . But doing so puts the people you want to protect at risk . I cannot endanger the people with my prettiness . Leo is not emperor now . He may have considered retreating if he was important to the Empire . However, Leo is now an Imperial candidate . The weight of his life is not as heavy as the emperor .
"I came to the south through me . I am here in the hope of helping those who are suffering . It remains the same . How about you? That day when I offered my sword as a guard knight . Are you still in your heart?
The Knight guarding the evacuation of the squad of skeletons keeps silent . The guard knight swears in front of the emperor as the emperor's sword . I swear by my sword and my pride .
"I vowed to devote myself to the Empire and the people . That vow will not disappear from my heart . " "Okay, fight now . The time you earn here will surely be meaningful . " "
So no one was urging Leo to withdraw anymore . It's not that Leo just left it up to emotion . The overflowing skeletons aren't behaving randomly . They are gathering at nearby enemies . In other words, the Leos attract the skeleton . If you retreat here, the skeleton that lost its closest goal could be scattered throughout the south . Then the southern lords are forced to defend their territory on their own, and it takes time to defeat the skeleton . Given the empire, he decided that it would be best to stay here and use it as a decoy .
Tr an sla t ed by Jpｍt l . co ｍ "His Highness Leonard . Please consult us . " "Well, Lynfia . Won't you tell him to withdraw?" "I have a hometown village behind me . I'm sorry . "As expected . I understand well . "
Leo smiles at Lynfia's conclusion . In the suspicion of southern nobles' misbehavior, the first to suffer if a skeleton falls in the south is the village of migrants . Perhaps a few lords want to defend, and even fewer have the power to survive .
"So what kind of consultation?" "Let's call for reinforcements . "
While talking, Lynfia sweeps away the skeletons around Leo . I wanted time to talk well because it was a little bit .
"Reinforcement? From where?" "From the southern area . I'll send a messenger to the nearest city . " "Are you in a hurry to the lord?" I won't betray you if you pay her, and she'll work her way . Like the Abels . "" Yeah! It's a plenty of rewards so don't flee! I want to flee soon! "
Abel, who was fighting nearby, cuts the skeleton while saying such a thing . Abel's party members complain about Abel .

"Because the leader is caught in the reward . . . " "I'm blamed on me! Did everyone talk ?!" "Hey, hey !? Let's not come here and take responsibility !? We're a party !?"
The Abel parties follow each other at the right moments, with such a pleasant conversation . Adventurers are professional in monster warfare . Certainly, if an adventurer comes as reinforcements, it will be a powerful helper . However .
"If you're an adventurer in a small branch in the south alone, it's rock and water . " "I know that, so I'll send a request to the entire guild . " "What's up?" "Order a raid quest . "
Raid Quest . Leo searches a little memory for words he can't hear . Because it was a word I had heard . The bottom of memory . It should have come out in a story I asked my mother when I was young .
"It's a large quest that many adventurers can participate in?" "Yes . It's rarely done recently, but it's great this time . " "Why is it rarely done?" Because it costs money . "
Leo agrees with Lynfia's answer . It's better to throw one high-ranked adventurer than a lot of low-ranked adventurers . The best example is the SS class adventurer . It is much cheaper to ask an SS-class adventurer than to ask for a raid quest . A raid quest costs so much money .
"Is there any funding? I don't have that much?" "Her Highness Arnold gave me a lot of money . Let's use it . " "I don't use any of them, but give me pong and a lot of money to others . " "It's like Arnold's .

Lynfia smiles and hands Leo a bag from Al . Leo, who thought Lynfia was going to go, tilts her head .
"I guess it's easier for you to go?" "I can't say that there is no possibility of betrayal . It's safer to go to a guard knight . "
Leo frowns at Lynfia's words . Leo had already trusted Lynfia . I thought I couldn't betray or be timid . But that's Leo's personal trust . In this important situation, we can't afford to give some adventurers a big deal . This was Lynfia's proposal, considering Leo's position . T r a nsl at ed b y jp m tl . ｃo m
"I will fight next to His Imperial Highness Leonard . I promised His Imperial Highness that he will always help you . " "I'm already strong enough to help you . Anyone who is proud to never escape! "
Leo then asks the Guard Knight . However, the guard knight does not nod when seeking the messenger . It's like running away from the enemy . Even more so in the situation where Leo, the royal family to be protected, is fighting . But Leo added that he had the pride of running . If you do not give yourself a name here, you will not be confident . All guard knights give themselves a name . Leo gives the bag to the knight who is the best at handling horses and gives instructions .
"Go to the nearest city and ask the adventurer's guild for a raid quest! The adventurer's guild can be contacted throughout the continent! Don't forget to tell the Imperial City about the details!" We'll be back to you! Good luck! "
Saying so, the knight starts running . Leo sees it off and Leos turns his eyes to the city of Bassau . The black spheres add to the evil atmosphere, and the skeletons do not lose count . It's like the entrance to hell . Leo simply started swinging his sword with such an impression .
