"Edward Volin expelled the God of Fear as the earthly representative of the God of Light? So, this war with Seventan is over, right?"
Garcia was riding on a galloping war horse, holding a magic communication device and listening to the message from the Blade of Night headquarters. His expression was filled with surprise and at the same time he could not conceal the joy in his heart.
"Yes, it's over. The other kingdoms that were spying on the border also retreated one after another after receiving the news. The Grand Duke of the Four Realms did not give these guys a chance to send spies into the kingdom. The war is over. As for other things, let's talk about it later. It’s time for a good rest.”
The intelligence team spoke with undisguised fatigue mixed with relaxation.
In this battle, the entire Arestle was exhausted. Fortunately, the war finally ended after the God of Light's miracle destroyed the God of Fear.
Let’s put the post-war matters aside for now. After all, people are not made of iron. Both the soul and the body need to rest.
"Just do whatever you want to do. I remember that you have a very good friend in the Tower of the Cursed. I'll give you a holiday. Just remember to come back in fourteen days. We have to prepare for that day. Pay tribute to our fallen brothers."
The intelligence team's voice was slightly teasing, but when they mentioned the fourteen days later, their tone became serious and low again.
"Understand, pay respect to those who have passed away."
Through the communication device, Garcia saluted in the direction of the royal city.
"To pay tribute to the deceased, we will not disturb you. We will be responsible for the affairs in the city. You brothers who are on the expedition to Seventan can recall where you went. Congratulations on your victory. It's over."
Garcia put the communication device in his hand back into his storage bag and looked around at the members of the Cursed Tower and other elites in the army who were riding with him towards the royal city.
He did not hide his voice when talking to the intelligence team. After hearing this, other members slowed down their horses with him and approached the smiling Garcia.
"Victory."
It was a plain statement, but these three words were enough to inspire people. There was no cheering or excitement as imagined. Everyone just let out a long breath and let joy grow in their hearts.
"This can be regarded as a holiday for everyone. We don't need to deal with the matters in the royal city for the time being. You can go wherever you want to go."
Garcia told the second news to his companions, and after a little discussion, the Aleistele soldiers who were traveling with him all said goodbye to the team leader Garcia, and either went to their hometowns in the kingdom, or to deal with other matters. matter.
"Well, do you have anywhere you plan to go? If not, would you accompany me to Mayne Manor to visit my sister?"
Someone pushed her shoulder, and Lilia Swain's voice came to Garcia's ears, with her usual "gangster" attitude.
If Garcia is free, in fact, the flame witch does not leave any room for Garcia to refuse.
"Okay, but don't you need to return to the Tower of the Cursed One within a certain period of time after the mission is resolved? It doesn't matter."
Garcia did not refuse, but just asked Lilia based on his knowledge of the rules of the Tower of the Cursed.
"Snapped!"
After slapping Garcia on the head, Lilia looked at him with a look of worry on her face.
"Are you stupid? The God of Fear was smashed. His fragments were sucked in when He appeared and were smashed together. In other words, our members of the Tower of the Cursed are temporarily unemployed. It doesn’t matter whether we go back or not.”
"It is estimated that it will have to wait until the fragments of the God of Fear appear again across the continent before those inefficient old guys can discuss something. Before that, I am completely free and can do whatever I want. "
Lilia patted her amazingly large breasts, said proudly, climbed directly onto the horse that Garcia was riding, and sat behind him
"Let's go! I have to take the time to see my good niece Aviya. She must miss me as her aunt. I don't know how strong this most talented person I have ever seen is now."
"By the way, how is her boyfriend, the knight named Wang Yu, doing now? Is he worthy of her?"
Lilia was chattering behind Garcia. It was obvious that she was in high spirits. Lilia thought of something and mentioned Wang Yu and Aviya, two of her disciples.
"They are all excellent."
"good."
…
"How will this guy wake up..."
Ciel poked Edward, who was lying on the bed in the medical room of Night Blade Headquarters, and asked with slight dissatisfaction.
"There is nothing wrong with his body or soul. The divine power of light has protected him very well. The wounds on his soul and body have been repaired. If he didn't wake up, it might just be that he was too tired, not on his soul. It’s just mental pressure, just let him sleep for a while.”
Ms. Jenny, who returned early from the previous frontline war, held a recording board in her hand and checked the status of Edward, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
He said to Ciel, who was squatting on the ground and poking Edward in the face while the cat-person girl Su Fang kept hitting his head with her tail.
As an expert at the border sanatorium, Jenny has a very high level of research on soul damage, and what she says is basically the truth.
"That's it, it's hard for me to handle..."
After scratching his head, Ciel showed a troubled look. He wanted to tell everyone in the Blade of Night that the captain died together with his enemy in revenge.
But after discussing with Devil "One", they unanimously decided to keep the news within a small area.
Judging from the information received from Marquis Enkai, the royal family cannot be said to have any ill will towards the entire Night Blade, but it is certain that they are targeted.
The royal family probably did not expect that Shugeyin could complete his revenge on the Marquis of Enkai with the help of Charles. The rare object he is holding now, the time-made hourglass, is the loss caused by this mistake to the royal family. Charles thought Taking advantage of this information gap, they set some traps for the royal family.
The Edge of Night is indeed an organization formed voluntarily by those who share the same ideals. However, just as Wang Yu has never had the confidence to guarantee that there will be no traitors in the emerging Church of Night, Charles cannot guarantee that there will be no betrayal in the organization of Edge of Night. By.
"Forget it, everyone here is a trustworthy person. I have some bad news to tell you. As for Edward, I don't have time to wait for him to wake up."
Ciel straightened his expression and his tone became serious, which made everyone present look at this guy who had been smiling ever since the God of Fear dissipated.
"Let me avoid it..."
Jenny was a very intellectual lady, and when Charles said these words, she consciously walked to the door, not intending to hear this news that she didn't know whether she should know.
"It's not necessary, uh, professor? Where have you been before? We have been trying to send you news before."
Just as Charles was about to stop Ms. Jenny who walked to the door and turned the handle, she saw Sieg who happened to appear outside the door after the door was opened, and his sister, Noelle, who was being held by Sieg.
"Well, this is what I want to tell you. Of course, I am here to say goodbye to you all."
Sieg nodded to the startled Ms. Jenny, walked into the room, closed the door, and mobilized the magic circuit engraved on his body to place a soundproof barrier on the door.
"how?"
Charles glanced at the magic that Sieg had slapped on the door, and began to have some inexplicable premonitions in his heart. I am afraid that what Sieg said was related to something wrong with the royal family and what he wanted to say.
Sieg looked around at everyone present. Except for Ms. Jenny, who had heard about it, they were all familiar faces. Several team captains of Night Blade, including Gilbert, were all trustworthy.
He recounted his experience of being trapped in the lock at Rudolf's house in a straightforward manner without any errors or too many personal emotions. As he told it, the atmosphere in the entire room began to become solemn.
Everyone present was not a dull person, and they had already made some guesses about the various strange behaviors of the royal family in this incident, and the experiences described by Zieg actually brought to the stage some of the things the royal family did off the stage.
"The general situation is like this. I can't stand this kingdom threatening me with the people I cherish, so although I'm a little reluctant to let you go, I still plan to say goodbye to this kingdom and go to the outside world."
During the moment of silence in the room, Sieg spoke with a wry smile, describing his future plans.
"Well, I originally thought that what the royal family did was only against certain people, but now it seems that the royal family's malice towards the Blade of Night is no longer concealed. This news must be conveyed to everyone. As for how to do it, how to It’s up to you to make your own decisions.”
Ciel's tone was unprecedentedly serious. He thought that the end of this war would mean that things were over. Unexpectedly, it seemed that the turmoil in the royal city had just begun.
Everyone focused their attention on Ciel, who also narrated what he and Shuguein had experienced together. As he told the story, an emotion called anger began to brew in everyone's hearts.
"Kekeke..."
Sieg's fists were clenched, and the strong muscles and bones were squeezed, making a tooth-staining sound. He personally experienced his sister being threatened, and once again heard that his friend died because of revenge, and learned that the royal family played a role in it. When he pushed his hands, his heart was already full of rage.
"This guy Shugeyin has such a stubborn temper that he is unwilling to share his own affairs with us. He always wants to fight alone. If he tells us his experience and plan, no matter what..."
Sieg's words rang out in the heavy atmosphere in the room. This was probably what everyone present wanted to say.
"Huh? Pray that the communication network is restored?"
Ciel just opened his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by a slight call in his mind. He prayed for the communication network and used the message transmission completed by the Lady of the Night.
"Char, where is Wang Yu with you? I can't contact him."
Aviya sounded worried.
"Wang Yu?"
Charles was stunned. They had been ignoring Wang Yu.
Perhaps this guy's usual reliability has left a deep impression on them. They all think that Wang Yu absolutely does not need others to worry about him. He can complete what he needs to do and "get away", although he will sometimes be beaten. That's all.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized that Wang Yu had lost contact with them for a long time. Even Siege, who had lost contact before, sent them a message after the God of Fear faded.
Wang Yu is gone.
