Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 506

To put it in the words of Saint Deoni and the heretic judges, my hypothesis, which has ‘a viciousness that is so terrible that it seems like it will pollute the mind’, still had a positive ripple effect.

It made people assume the worst again.

Up until now, the church had believed that they were committing blasphemy just to satisfy mortal self-interest, but soon took seriously the hypothesis that their enemy might dream of killing a god, and that evening held a long meeting at a hastily constructed command post.

Fortunately, there were no negative opinions in the form of nonsensical hypotheses. Even though they may be astonished and surprised, they are clearly competent leaders who seriously think about and examine the possibilities.

It was not possible to come up with a solution right away, but just recognizing the seriousness of the situation was a great harvest.

After the attack of the monsters, which served as the basis for such a new hypothesis, we were able to enter the county of Birreir around the evening of the 17th day after three days of smooth marching without any incidents.

Feeling proud that they had come this far without any injuries or dropouts during that long period of time, the command decided to organize a campsite at the edge of the forest and take a break.

If you walk one more day at the speed you have come so far, you will arrive at the manor. In the end, it was said that if the troops were to move away from the civilians, they would be within reach if they collapsed, so the policy had to be decided at this point.

“According to various intelligence reports, it is said that, as Sir Carl Kansi said, public sentiment in the county of Virere is hitting the bottom. There is no hesitation whatsoever.”

The saintess gathered the people at the command post and told them about the information obtained through the crows that had arrived yesterday.

There wasn’t much information from the first crow that flew in, but after three or four more flew in, it became quite plausible and the conclusion I just said was complete.

Now that I think about it, it seems that it was the result of meticulousness in setting aside informants for cross-validation.

“It must be very vulnerable to attacks.”

Before departing, everyone, including the saintess, nodded as they calmly expressed their feelings, admiring the prudence of the church that took care of these things.

“That’s right.”

The saintess didn’t bring up the story to punish the family of Earl Virere, who was morally dishonest, or to use that as an excuse to give us legitimacy. It was merely a briefing on the current status of the ‘enemy’ as part of a simple strategy and tactics.

“Our original plan was to lead the troops right now and raid the Earl of Birair. Originally, it sounded ridiculous, but the plan was possible because the hero was there.”

The saintess’ gaze naturally turned to me, and I replied with a short nod.

Isn’t a siege only possible when the walls and gates are strong? In that sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am a siege cheat key.

“I don’t doubt victory. But I’m asking you guys for your opinion on how long you can rest if you enter resistance like that.”

If we had to pick one of the biggest reasons why we hadn’t encountered the demon army so far, it could be because we deliberately moved farther away from the gate.

Maintaining the front line facing Ethiel is not enough to spare just because it is the Demon King’s army.

Rather, due to the sacred orbital bombardment from Este, morale, troops, and supplies were blown up, and they had to yield the front line, so they are in a very tough situation.

That’s why even the treatment of the Demonic Cult, which shows an intrusive movement inside the Demonic Spirit, was entrusted to an army composed of new recruits and corroded bodies made from the remnants of evil spirits. But, without exaggeration, it was destroyed overnight.

From the point of view of the Demon King’s army, since they have all died so much that they cannot even properly grasp the cause, it seems that it would be better to send regular troops rather than blindly crushing the same troops, but the troops that have to move to deal with 20,000 people are not so It’s not good enough.

It’s a church, so there’s no back, so it’s close to what I saw after moving. The Demon King’s Command will want to send troops as quickly and accurately as possible to put an end to the incident and return the troops to the front line.

However, there are no gates around the movement route of the church, which is a thorn in the eye. If the soldiers advance using magic, the time will somehow be shortened, but since the corrosive troops have already been destroyed, the confidence that they will be able to win even if they fight with such strength is also gone.

From their point of view, the church is a variable that cannot be ignored. The worst variable that even power measurement is impossible due to the results far beyond expectations.

Even so, you can’t operate the master class. Even if it could wipe out the church, it wouldn’t be able to plug the hole in the wire.

Perhaps by the time the master class encounters the church and battles, the front line will be pushed farther. It might have been impossible with Ethyl alone, but as long as the Empire joined in earnest, it was unconditional.

Because they were properly aware of all of this, the church meticulously planned a route so that the demon army had no choice but to worry about it.

The huge traces that 20,000 people make are not erased by erasing them. Therefore, instead of focusing on distant places, he conceived a plan in the direction of narrowing his range of motion by using the situation of war with the Humans as much as possible.

It is the result of seeing through to the fact that even the level of time taken for the human race to move an army feels like a huge loss to the Demon King’s army who are accustomed to the gate.

Of course, if the demon army had shut up and moved the troops or put in a master class, it would have been a big twist from the start, but what would you do? The best you can choose in the worst situation is usually like that.

In fact, this type of gambler was not only left in the church, but also the demon king’s army.

He also made magic bombs to disrupt the rear, and planned to kidnap Esmu. Judging from the fact that even the Oak Gate incident was found with demons’ corpses around the gate, it is clear that it was an operation to disrupt the rear of the Demon King’s army.

Clearly, I made a big bet. It’s all just fucked up.

I don’t know if that led to the butterfly effect or not, but the church is still picking it up.

However, you can blow it all up with a single mistake, so you just have to be careful. They say that it is very difficult to be humble without being proud of success, but our saintess did it very well.

“If you don’t completely control the rumors of the Earl of Beerre, the enemies will know that there is a hero here. Unless there are two people who can break through the outer castle in one day in Ethiel.”

The saintess’ concern is simple. By attacking the Earl of Virere, there is a high possibility of abandoning the great advantage of ‘being in a position where it is difficult to move the army’.

If they could suppress it in an instant and stop the news that the Earl of Birair had been attacked, there would be some reprieve, but no matter how corrupt it was, it was considered the county. The wizards who can contact the capital will be deployed, and as they feel the urgency and send communications, we will also be placed in a time attack situation.

When it’s clear that I’m here, they’ll definitely move.

Sadly, it had such an impact on me now. Wouldn’t there be some people who decide that killing me and starting will be beneficial in the long run, even if it means sending the master class?

“In other words, we have to cover the enemy’s ears as we fight this battle. If we don’t do that, it will be a half victory.”

So let’s squeeze our wisdom together to find a way out.

The people gathered at the temporary command post understood the meaning of the saintess’ words and began to think seriously while looking at the map.

“…I think the closeness of the Earl of Veerre will be helpful just in case. Even we didn’t know the actual situation at all until we used people to closely examine it, so it’s highly likely that they are taking some action externally as well. Other territories Whether it’s making patrols more frequent, or planting an informer who can quickly report any abnormalities in the village.”

It was Count Timshive who received the story that one of the heretic judges had drawn out while marking the location of the town on the map.

“I am of the same opinion. Even if something happens to the count’s family and the inner castle because of being controlled for so long, rumors won’t spread easily. Gradually, they will notice it, and then it will spread like fire belatedly. Communication in the inner castle If we can neutralize the means of communication such as the mage and the telegram, I think we will be able to rest for five days.”

Everyone except me, the saintess, and the high-ranking heretic judge nodded at the opinion he calmly presented. Still, I was relieved that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t understand, and when I stood still, the saintess put her chin on her chin and pondered for a while and asked a question instead.

“Why did you expect five days?”
“If regular reports from each territory are cut off, there is a grace period of up to one week until it is classified as an abnormal situation. After that, a capital scout is immediately dispatched.

Unlike himself, who had been freed from the annoying work he had been doing for half his life, Count Timshive, who lightly evoked the atmosphere by saying that they were still suffering, was a decent nobleman.

In the end, it was a story that no matter how much time you had, you had to rest for five days, not two days, to increase the distance from the scouting party.

“What if I get in touch?”
“First, the Capital Defense Forces will be deployed through the gate of a nearby city. In that case, you can’t rest. .”

In the end, making the contact system inoperable was the top priority. All you have to do is snipe from the outside until the Jeonseo-gu, but since magic isn’t like that, everyone’s expressions naturally became serious.

It was not easy to say something because he was so serious, but once he raised his hand, he got the right to speak. Of course, I thought he would ask me, but everyone seemed to be thinking in a completely different direction, so it seemed better to say it first.

“Can’t I just go in and kill all the wizards attached to the crystal ball and start?”
“That, as soon as the report that the hero has penetrated the outer castle goes in, you can cast communication magic. The distance is also a distance, so I am not sure that I will be able to arrive before then…
” I don’t think you can. You have to assassinate.”
“…yes?”

Each other tells the obvious things for granted, but why does the conversation keep going out of order? While even the saintess was tilting her head, I intuition that something was seriously twisted, and after thinking for a while, I was able to find the reason.

“…Did you hear that I was about to break through the outer castle and thought that I would explode a part of the castle by force?”
“……wasn’t it?’

Faces full of questions stare at me.

They didn’t even know how I penetrated the outer world.

It wasn’t really a secret and I didn’t hide it, but I didn’t expect that there would be a problem with information sharing in such a trivial part, so I kept a poker face as much as possible and tried to figure out how. I explained, and those who were full of questions now looked at me with dumbfounded expressions.
