Reincarnated into a Game As the Hero’s Friend

Chapter 205.1

Chapter 205.1

Leppes astonishment was not only because of Welners appearance here, but also because he saw a group of knights in Royal Guard armor, including Goretzka, the Deputy Commander of the Royal Guards, enter through another door, along with the Zeavert Knights.

Although the Royal Guards numbers were about the same as those of the Zeavert Knights, their individual prowess was different. Unlike the Zeavert Knights, who could only defeat monsters in groups, each of the Royal Guards cut down monsters one by one in rapid succession.

Leppe muttered in a low voice, Whatwhy are the Royal Guards here?

We received a request from His Highness Prince Louwen.

Seyfart!

Grand Duke Seyfart approached Leppe, talking to him in an easygoing tone that was improper when looking at the situation, but his presence was still so prominent despite his age.

His Highness Prince Louwen appears to be fond of Sir Welner, and I hear that his fiance has become friendly with Lily. When they learned of the situation, they both asked His Majesty for the countrys help in the rescue operation of Lily. His Majesty and the Crown Prince have given their approval.

That cant be (Leppe)

Grand Duke Seyfart commented, You seem to be unaware of all the details. It all started with the monster stampede. At that time, Sir Welner saw through the enemys plan, not only saving the knights, but also His Highness the Crown Prince and the Royal Guards that protected him.

At that time, the Crown Prince and the Royal Guards were prepared to assume the role of standing guards to evacuate the wounded soldiers and the remaining generals. Against overwhelming numbers, the Crown Prince himself took up arms and was prepared to lose half of his Royal Guards, intending to save as many generals as possible.

That battle changed from the perspective of the Royal Guards. The Zeavert Corps voluntarily deployed its troops to the front line in the center of the battlefield, which was supposed to be the most heavily clashed area. As a result, the Royal Guards only had to support them during the hardest part of the battle, and the Crown Prince himself was able to concentrate solely on commanding the Royal Guards, making effective use of them.

The Royal Guards, which were prepared for heavy losses by taking on a large army of monsters all on their own, were able to withdraw almost unscathed. So, more than a few of them consider Sir Welner to be their benefactor, not to mention the fact that he was capable of protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

It was certainly at the Kings order that the Royal Guards participated in Lilys rescue operation today. However, the Royal Guards also wanted to return the favor to Zeavert House and to Welner personally, so their morale was really high.

This time, His Majesty also said that since the Knights could not leave their posts unattended for long, they should use the greatest possible force to take care of the situation in a short period of time.

Seyfart continued, but this was not the whole truth.

The mobilization of the Royal Guards, the largest force under the royal family, was not done at the request of Prince Louwen but ordered by both the King and Crown Prince out of necessity.

The attack on the Church of Finnoi and the attack on Anheim were both done by demon armies led by demon generals. On the other hand, the stampede of monsters on the outskirts of the royal capital was done by a group which may or may not be controlled by demons. There was a clear difference between them as an organization.

And this time, when Crown Prince Hubertus heard about the situation, he immediately judged that the priestess accompanying Leppe might be a new demon general leading monsters, and so he recognized the necessity of defeating them separately before the attack on the royal capital began.

Otherwise, the Royal Guards would not have been allowed to move against an ostensibly unidentified enemy, even if it was for the sake of the heros sister.

It was a bit reckless of Sir Welner to go after Lily alone, but I think that was the typical move of a youth. The Viscount still had that in him.

Although he said so, Seyfart believed that Welners comprehension was not so poor that he would risk chasing after Lily without a plan.

Since the King could not let a Viscount take command of the Royal Guards, thats why this old geezer came all the way down here. was what Seyfart wanted to say with a laugh causing a slight shift in his gaze.

Leppe, oblivious to this and unable to hide his agitation, opened his mouth, Ho, how you you found this location?

Well, its simply because we have checked the waterways of the royal capital before.

The waterway used by Leppe and his team had already been visited by government investigators. The source of the water was believed to be deep in the mountains beyond the Krumshe Mountains. They were also planning to investigate why the water had stopped flowing.

It may be possible that the lake in Krumshe and the waterway in the royal capital originate from the same source. We will have to investigate this point in the future. At any rate, we were aware that the underground waterway and the aqueduct that draws water from the Krumshe lake run almost parallel to each other.

If you were only investigating, how did you reach this place so quickly?

It was a combination of Sir Welners luck and our prior planning.
