737 Former Strongest, Defines Policy
"- Again, here too, is it..."
Listening to the words of the sighing Cecil, Soma looked around lightly at the spot.
Destroyed and exhausted houses, corpses on the verge of being white boned.
Also, that's why.
"Is it okay to think that this place was attacked at the same time?
"So, I guess. Well, it may be around a little bit, but basically you'd think it was the same time."
"... here's the third one... weren't there actually many raiders?
"It could be."
I don't know how many bases there were in total, but if all of them were raided at the same time, a significant number of people would be needed even if they used bandits, etc.
Inevitably, there will be fewer toward each base -
"By the way, was there someone who could fight each base?
"... I was where I was, but that's also where one or two people are. And you probably knew about it, too."
"Nevertheless, I didn't know that at that point. Which Michi retreat would have been necessary."
"... even if we were able to repel it, there is a good chance that the next one would have come"
"Surely, more soldiers were sent then, wasn't they? Let's do it more thoroughly than we've done so far. … at all, popularity is hard"
"... are you all right?
"Regardless! Everyone must be fighting anxiety by now, because you can't just be caught here!
Obviously, that appearance was a strength, but it doesn't mean we can do anything about it.
Looking over the scene again, he exhales.
Sheila also spoke, but it was here that Soma and the others came to Cecil's base for the third time.
The result is brilliantly wiped out, and if we get here, we should assume that other bases are as well.
It is overly optimistic to think that there is something that has not been found and is safe.
Incidentally, the second base had also been wiped out as a matter of course.
Unlike here and in the first place, however, this is where the formidable bonds that originally existed were stretched.
They never broke in, and the houses are safe... but given that they were all starving to death, there's nothing I can say about which was better as a last resort.
But I'm pretty sure that was obviously the best place to go in the sense that you could rest.
At the very least, you will not remember the anxiety that you may be attacked.
Regardless, we cannot deny the possibility that we will follow the same path as the people who lived there, but we will still have minimal anxiety.
That's all I can do now.
And those things, they've left it there.
The original location was about to be attacked, followed by two bases after the raid.
Almost enough to be sure that other bases are supposed to do the same, so it makes little sense to take them any further.
Most importantly, they were already exhausted.
Sometimes it was necessary to rest well, and it was left in its stronghold.
Just in case the Somas come to the third base.
It's closer to just confirmation than hope.
To convince me that I was almost certain... or that I came to give up.
Not the Somas, Cecil.
"Well... so what are we going to do now? If you want to go back, I'll take you there.
"A joke, it is. Indeed, it is likely that the winner has already been decided. To do this so thoroughly means… perhaps the First Prince. Either way, it doesn't change what I do."
"Even if there's nothing more you can do?
"As long as we gave up there, we didn't do anything from the beginning. Besides, I don't think you're gonna make me give up. If you can't do anything, you can't help but scratch your feet and try to resist to the end!
"... I mean?
"In the meantime, we're going to head to the Wang Capital. It is very likely that you are in the middle of an enemy land, but without a doubt you will be able to get information... and if this happens, I don't think there is anything you can do about it. So it's another matter of how we can do it."
"Hmm... yes or no. You two have no problem with that?
"... no"
"Well, it's certainly the best thing to do when you get here. I'll be fine, too."
"... to?
Eina and the others just nodded naturally to confirm Soma, but Cecil's expression contrasted with those two, saying she didn't know what she was talking about.
Raise your dumb voice and blink over and over again... then open your mouth in such a way as fear.
"Um... you three, could you still follow me?
"Is that what you're going to say?
"Oh, the... no, is it?
"After all, I still don't know one thing about that light. We came here to find out what it was, and if we get to the King's Landing, you'll know exactly what I mean. You might be right to say that it's the same place by accident rather than following you."
"... me, half?... help me with the Somas... and Cecil."
"If you abandon me here, I won't sleep well. I can't say I can help you until the end of the day, but I'm going to do whatever I can to help."
"Hey, hey......!? What is it......!? If you two put it that way, you're not like I'm a cold person......!?
"... Eina, ruthless?
"I don't know why Cecil and I are together for about a month, but I don't know if I can just talk about my convenience... Eina is a terrible one"
"You guys......!?
Well, while we're talking about it, it's also true that we may actually have our own convenience.
There could be demons here, and when it comes to where they are most likely to be, it will still be the king's capital.
If it is certain that they will sell the fight one of these days, you should go ahead and beat him up while you still can.
That's what I think.
And to do so, it would be more convenient for Cecil, who knows Veritas well, to be with him.
The convenience of this is more than the damage you suffer from being with Cecil… Or, originally, the Somas are from Veritas, enemies.
I've been to the Holy Capital and the Empire lately, but I'm originally a Radius person.
Given that it's originally on the enemy's side, it's not surprising where it was attacked, and if you think about it that way, you might even say that there's no harm that would result from being with Cecil.
Instead, if it were meant to be, it would be a hard place to just enter the King's Capital.
If that hardship is no longer necessary or may be mitigated, there is only a profit -
"What Eina said is true, too. It's more for our own convenience than for you, so don't worry."
"... no. Even so, if you can help me, that's enough for me. So... thank you, it is"
To Cecil, who said so and bowed his head, Soma and the others looked at each other unexpectedly and smiled bitterly.
I really don't need to thank you... but if Cecil wants to, that's fine.
Well, even if we're headed to the King's Capital, we'll start by mourning the body of this place.
To fulfill it, when Cecil's head was raised, each of the Somas began to move.
