Chapter 33.1
Trisha Lili Amuhamura .
Amuhamura’s royalty, the fourth princess, and the Knight leader of the kingdom .
Half of her life, was suddenly filled with drastic events .
“Vice-leader, it’s time to take a break . The Demon Lord is ahead, it will be a problem if the soldier is exhausted . ”
“Acknowledged . Team leader of each team, hear me . There will be a break for one hour, but be careful to not get too relaxed . ”
The leader’s word are repeated all around as I prepare a simple tent .
At this place, “Blood Tears of the Demon Lord”, it takes a lot of time and effort just to take a rest .
“Vice-leader, any change of the situation?”
“There is a wall that was previously not confirmed, 15km ahead . Perhaps it was the work of the 13th Demon Lord . ”
“A wall, you said?”
“Yes, a strong wall of about 20 meter in height . Destroying it would be difficult, but…”
She hesitated with a puzzled expression on her face .
“Continue . ”
“Yes . Destroying it would be hard, but breakthrough seem possible . ”
Wrinkles on her face is increasing as if she have some doubt on the situation .
“What do you mean by that? Wait, before that, for this expedition, we don’t want to provoke the Demon Lord as much as possible . Wouldn’t it be better if we don’t force our way through?”
“No, that’s…”
I went and told her the report of the scout unit as it was .
Anyway, stairs are set up in the open area of the wall, so it seems easy to get inside .
In addition, a gate can be seen at the top of the wall, and it seem like going there is possible .
We are searching for other entrances on the walls, but there’s no report yet .
Of course, the scout unit was being careful to not get too close to the wall . Since we do not know the temperament of the 13th Demon Lord , we have to refrain from careless contact .
This expedition is for investigation purposes only, and any fight should be avoided as much as possible .
After the report, I went to silence . As it is necessary to hear the opinion of the captain of the expedition corps .
With a fearless expression, she’s lost in thought .
She, the princess of the Amuhamura Kingdom, has a short hair, like a man, as if she declared herself as a soldier .
Well, of course, she has the appearance of a princess, an extraordinary one at that . though it’s a bit unusual for a girl to have hair that doesn’t even reach the shoulder .
At best, a child or a woman who lost her hair for some reason . But even they are ashamed for having a short hair .
Well, i should not have any feelings for her, my superior, who is also originally a princess .
But… .
She is really beautiful .
with a line going from her ear to her delicate fragile-like chin .
Adorning a silver armor, with her slender nape peeking from the gaps between her hair .
A hairstyle that emits a beastly feelings along with a golden luster, it suited her very well .
“Vice-leader, I think the staircase is an entrance that is prepared by the Demon Lord, but what do you think?—-hm? Hey, what are you doing?”
“ah,n-no, it’s nothing!”
What are you doing, me . Staring at Captain’s good looking face until late to respond .
It’s really embarrassing and shameful, and my face is probably red .
“Are you okay, Vice-leader? If you’re not feeling well, go to the relief unit . ”
“N, no . It’s okay . There’s no problem whatsoever . ”
“Is that so? I think that your face is awfully red . It’ll trouble me if you fall now . Go to the relief unit later . This is an order . ”
I felt bad to the Captain who is seriously worried .
“Oh . About the wall…”
I need to change the topic a bit forcefully here .
“I agree with the captain, but I do not know what traps will await us . I think that intruding the wall should be done carefully . ”
“Yes . If anyone can easily enter, there is no point in building a wall in the first place . ”
“They aim may be to gather their enemies in one place . Also, there are only a space for 20 people in a row at the stair . There is also a possibility for them to try and divide us and killing us one by one . It’s just that…”
“To leave it open like that, As expected we don’t know what they’re are planning . ”
“Yes . ”
When building a castle wall, a gate is necessary to keep it from being isolated, and a certain size of the gate is important for the passage of goods and soldier .
But a wall is made to repel foreign enemies .
There’s no reason to make such a big entrance where anyone can easily enter .
“Well, the reason for it is not something that we can understand with just looking at it” *Dafuk is this . {まぁ、実際に見てみない事にはな………」}
“Yes . Monsters was spotted at the top of the wall, but no guards or other demons were found . ”
“Wait!”
The sudden sharp voice make me feel like a sword is pressed against my back .
“In other words, could you see monsters, but not the demons?”
“Y-yes”
“I see, I understand now . That wall was probably built for delaying . There’s gate everywhere, 20 meter high wall, along with monsters . ”
“I see… That do make sense…”
With just a bit of information, she can unravel the whole purpose of that wall .
I look back at the captain with a new found respect .
“But if that’s the case, it will be a little troublesome .
Due to the delay work, it will be difficult to send a messenger to the other party . In this cold, I don’t really want to think about how long it takes to make a round trip . ”
“Certainly . If possible, it would be best if the other party sent a messenger at the same time as our intrusion . ”
“that is………”
I thought it was a joke, and I almost laughed .
The captain didn’t forget, but the opponent is a Demon Lord . Rather, we should worry about sending soldier first .
“Fufu . I know it’s a hopeless story . But, aren’t you interested? Three days ago, a shrine maiden came to inform our country about the birth of a Demon Lord . After a long estimation, the Demon Lord here is about one month old . In that short time, it’s a Demon Lord that able to build this much . As a soldier, it’s very interesting .
“That’s true …”
If the unavoidable delay work is taken up to this point, it will certainly have a good evaluation from a soldier .
Above all, it is impossible for humans to do in terms of time . No, even with the help of an elf that is good at magic, or a highly capable beastman, or a dragonewt, It is impossible to happen in this short time .
But that is why this Demon Lord is dangerous .
This time, if this expedition didn’t happen, this delay work would only been found for the first time when invading the Demon Lord .
At that time, there is probably no option to withdraw .
After all, it will be an official decree of the Avui religion’s shitty pope . *-shrug-(アヴィ教)
“First of all, once we arrive at the wall, we should send a messenger to the home country at once .
Should something happen to us, we would be able to bring back the information about that wall”
“That’s right, the selection of the messenger is left up to you . However, weak people are prohibited . Give priority to the messenger and return as fast as possible . ”
“Roger that”
In other words, she did not want weak people to die .
Totally .
Originally, you are the one who must be in the safest place .
Well, that’s why she’s the aspiration of the Amuhamura people .
