After I defeated the monsters and bear beastfolk who were rampaging in the city, I left the post-processing to the knights and went to a hill that overlooked the harbour city.
I moved to this place since I would be in trouble if those soldiers asked questions.
But then, why hasnt the fleet co closer?
I could see the fleet far away on the open sea.
Strangely enough, they hadn't gotten close at all.
What is the thing thats flying around the fleet?
When I strained my eyes, I could see sothing like a bird silhouette flying around the fleet.
Moreover, there were two of them.
But even with the enhanced eyesight of an undead, I couldn't get a clear view of those two bird-like silhouettes.
The fleet seed to be fighting those two silhouettes, but
Well, like hell there was a giant bird whose size could rival a ship.
Even if such birds did exist, they would be flying closer to the ground rather than sea.
So you're in this place, huh.
The one who ca was, of course, the female Holy Knight.
It seems the harbor city has almost been recaptured, and it was thanks to your effort.
How did she know that I was in this place?
I just made a wild guess that you might be in a deserted place. And my guess was correct.
Please, stop reading my mind.
With this, we can ambush their main forces with our best But then, it might be quite difficult to beat them if we consider their war potential.
According to the female Holy Knight, this country had the geographical advantage.
The coast of this country was filled with rocks. Ships wouldn't be able to land safely without a properly maintained harbor city.
Victory might depend on how many of the enemy ships we can take out with our cannons. Wooden ships will sink imdiately, but the sa thing can't be expected from armored ships.
Uh, we might have to request your assistance again.
Your Eminence?
This ti, it was the pope who showed himself.
Why are you in this place?
The female Holy Knight couldn't hide her shock.
After all, it wasn't a good thing for the top brass of the country to co to the frontlines.
We're still in danger if they take the harbor city anyway. Since that's the case, having co to the frontlines might give a morale boost to the army.
B-but
Moreover, we have our reliable ally here.
I would be troubled if you were over-relying on , you know?
It seems the rumor about you has spread in the harbor city So people think that you might be the No Life King thanks to your distinctive hair and eye color, but most of the rumors about you are positive since an undead saving humans is against common sense.
Not many people knew that I ca to this country, even amongst the Holy Knights.
Even fewer in the general population knew this.
Well, not that they had the leeway to feel scared when they were put in such a precarious situation a while ago.
But since I would be too conspicuous, I decided to hide myself on this hill until the arrival of the main forces of the beast kingdom.
Well, it's not like you have to wait in this kind of place. You can actually borrow a mansion to station the troops. And you can use one of the rooms in the mansion for a short break. Naturally, uninterrupted.
Seeing that there was no reason for to refuse that offer, I descended back to the city along with the pope.
The building that would be used as a temporary headquarters was the biggest mansion, which was located right in front of the harbor.
The garden of that mansion was filled with bear beastfolk.
It was the boss bear who was defeated by .
Maybe because his attire and armor were torn to shreds when he transford into a beast, the only attire left on his body was a loincloth that was coiled around his waist.
Your Eminence, he refuses to talk despite our attempts to interrogate him.
What about the other beastfolk?
We investigated the captured beastfolk and managed to gain various information, but there's been nothing important so far. They refuse to tell us their tactics Or maybe they don't even have any to begin with
Basically, the beastfolk's army had no in-depth tactics.
Even in this case, they might simply have the sa goalnaly Let's destroy the holy country first.
Even the vanguard they sent was supposed to be used for gathering information such as the terrain and the military power of the opponent, but this operation seed to be different.
Egh T-this sll That white hair
The boss bear suddenly startled.
Although I hid my face with a hood, this guy seed to be able to detect with his keen sense of sll.
When the Holy Knights were wondering what was happening, the boss bear suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.
D-don't get cocky just because you you defeated ! Beast King-sama is far more powerful than ! Not even you can defeat Bea
Right at that mont
Everyone who was looking at the boss bear suddenly looked up at the sky.
W-W-W
And let out a mute scream.
That was just how overwhelming the existence that suddenly appeared above their head was.
Thunder Dragon Emperor There's the Darkness Dragon Emperor, too?
The pope was the only one who could speak in that situation.
The ones who suddenly appeared in the sky above the harbor city were none other than those two dragons.
Oh crap They found again
I feel Master's mana around this area.
Yeah. No doubt about it.
Ah I was discovered since I released my magical power while fighting the boss bear a while ago
But they shouldn't be able to get my clear position since there were so many people.
Since that was the case, I should use this chance to escape
But the thing that had been on my mind was the giant monster gripped in the hind leg of the Thunder Dragon Emperor.
It was a tiger with beautiful silver fur, but I got a really bad feeling about this for so reason
Suddenly, the boss bear scread aloud.
BEAST KING-SAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!
SERIOUSLY, THAT WAS THE BEAST KING!
