Rumaja and Plum’s March
Rumaja was seemingly intending to have Talat transport all of the defeated knights.
Talat didn't refuse and wrapped the knights in cocoons one by one, as instructed by Rumaja.
After about 30 minutes, the packing of the knights was completed, and it was finally time to depart.
"Let's go. Our destination is the Royal palace."
"The Royal palace? But don't we need to pass through the gate of the noble district to get there...?"
"If they try to stop us, they'll end up like these guys."
Wow, what's that? That's completely forceful.
Well, they did attack us first, so it can't be helped... maybe?
In fact, we were stopped at the gate of the noble district, but Rumaja threatened the guards and forced our way through.
Hmm, I feel like we've become the bad guys here.
Once we got through the noble district, the Royal palace was just around the corner.
"Stop! If you come any closer, it will be considered an act of rebellion against His Majesty the King, and you will be executed immediately!"
Wow, the palace soldiers were lined up in full force.
They seem to be packed right up to the gate leading to the palace.
But they are no match for Rumaja and Plum, so what should we do?
"Hmm, shall we force our way through, disciple?"
"No, it would be difficult to hold back and not cause serious injuries to that many opponents."
"A nuisance. We could drain their stamina with dark magic, but that would take time."
"Yes. Let's observe the situation for a while..."
While Rumaja and Plum were discussing what to do next, there was some movement in the other camp.
The soldiers started collapsing.
It seems neither of the two has done anything yet, so what happened?
"... What is it, Master?"
"This wave... could it be Lady Zena?"
While the two of them were speculating, the soldiers continued to fall until the last one was down.
Then, a woman in a seductive dress came walking from the direction of the soldiers.
The adventurers, including myself, were on guard, but Plum signaled us to hold off.
Is she an ally?
"Long time no see, Princess Plum."
"I'm not used to being called princess, Lady Zena. What brings you here this time?"
"I heard from the elder Bastaraf and crossed the sea to get here. I never expected to find you in a combat situation."
"The people of this country are short-tempered. I'm heading to the palace as is, what will you do?"
"Duke Sazaby is also with you. I will accompany you."
"Very well. Let's proceed."
It seems that the reason the soldiers collapsed was due to this person's ability.
When passing through, I checked the fallen soldiers, but they appeared to be just sleeping.
The fact that she could put them to sleep without them noticing in that instant is a bit scary.
Come to think of it, the people of Darshe Principality didn't come here by ship or anything, but rather through teleportation magic, right?
If soldiers were sent here using teleportation magic, wouldn't the country fall in an instant?
Is this country going to be okay...?
What do you think about this chapter?
