“Chit.. It’s a lot better than I thought.”

Watching the vanguard annihilate after a brief skirmish, Iscal lightly clicked his tongue.

“After all, Hungary is Hungary, right? Even so, I thought I would be able to achieve some results, but it can’t be helped.

Although the forces on this side were large, they were nothing more than a simple group of troops that had never been divided into separate classes or trained together.

In that respect, Iscal also knew about their weaknesses to some extent. Even so, I never thought that there would be such a power difference.

The Hungarian Black Legion, despite their small numbers, firmly formed camps and conducted efficient battles.

On the other hand, the allies were not well controlled and simply pushed with numbers.

However, Iscal was not particularly nervous about this or thought of defeat.

The number on this side was still overflowing, and there were several corners of believing in him.

‘In just a little while, Bahamut… the hand that he prepared will begin to move, right? If that happens, that black legion that seems solid as if frozen will collapse in an instant. We just need to take advantage of that gap and wipe them out.’

For that moment, Iskal temporarily defeated the troops, while giving a more detailed order so that they could advance again at any time.

Unlike when they were chaotically entangled, the cavalrymen on horseback were in the front, and those who were not were to follow them, and in addition, the commanders of each knight were contacted again to unite the strong men of each army separately.

Orders that would not have worked well even if he had originally issued them.

However, they were the ones who had directly witnessed the annihilation of the vanguard just before, and thanks to that, in some ways, it was rather easier to lead.

‘It’s the first time I’ve ever commanded such a large army, but even if it looks like this, you have some knowledge on this side. Now that I’ve seen my side die while charging recklessly, I have no choice but to follow my words a little better.’

Rejoicing at the situation proceeding according to his plan, Iscal calmly waited for the signal.

Budapest Castle where a fierce battle is taking place.

However, unlike the west gate side, which became a battlefield, the south gate, the east gate, and the north gate, which were far from there and were not easy to invade by enemies due to their topography, had a relatively peaceful atmosphere.

This is where only the minimum number of troops remained for vigilance.

But at this moment.

It wasn’t just quiet there, there was a terrifying aura in the air.

“Really, it’s nothing.”

“Because they were militiamen, nothing special anyway. What can they do against us?”

A group of people hiding their identities while wearing black robes.

The number was only a few dozen, but now there were bodies of militiamen who were killed without doing anything in front of them.

In addition, the wall was still tightly closed, and no action occurred that could expose their actions.

Immediately after confirming that the first step had been completed safely, they quickly began moving into the castle.

“Everybody must have figured out the topography of this place, right?”

“of course. If you just go around here, you’ll be in the royal castle. It’s obvious that it’s an escort soldier anyway, so if you get rid of it quickly… !”

-Pajijik!-

At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly flew from somewhere.

As a result, their footsteps, which were flying towards the royal castle, stopped just as it was.

And..

“That way.”

“Looking at their outfits, they look like adventurers…”

“Take care of it, if you make a fuss for no reason, things will become a nuisance.”

With those words, they chased the adventurers as they leaped up the building.

However, the speed at which the adventurers moved was also much faster than they expected, and those who wore robes began to follow them while slightly clicking their tongues.

-bang!-

“Kuk!”

The moment it connects, the magic that flies again

The fireball that flew this time hit them accurately, but despite the explosion, no one was injured.

“To think that we could slow our pace just this much…”

“As a mage, at most a lower level. As long as you get caught, I’ll definitely cut the angle.”

With that horse, they reap the magic barrier and start the chase again.

Every time the distance was reduced to a certain extent, small magics came flying from the other side, but this much power did not do any damage to them, skilled witches and mages.

Then they arrived at a dead end, where the adventurers were looking this way with their backs against the wall.

“This is the end of hide and seek.”

“No matter how much you bother us this much…”

“In return, I’ll send you away with a special pain.”

With a ghastly sneer on their lips, they gather mana into their staffs.

Looking at this, the adventurers also straightened their wands, but there was a difference in ability that could be clearly seen with the naked eye.

That time when I was so excited to trample the adventurers in front of me…

-widely!-

“Ugh!”

The sound of something breaking is heard the next moment.

At the same time, something dripped right above them.

And..

-pop!-

“Kuk!”

The next moment, something explodes right in front of you.

Anticipating that a strong attack would come in an instant, they used the magical barrier as it was.

But..

“What.. what.. this is..”

“west… I can’t believe it.. Jee…..”

The next moment, people in black robes lost their strength and fell to the ground.

The adventurers were able to breathe a deep sigh of relief as they watched some of them start snoring.

“phew. It was close..”

“They said they were monsters that should never be matched head-to-head… They still have chills running down their spines?”

Seeing the situation end like that, the adventurers immediately began to restrain them from falling to the ground.

Never engage in head-to-head combat and lure them to the trap site with constant chinking as annoying as possible.

Hearing the report that the adventurers had successfully achieved their goal in accordance with that order, a smile slowly began to form on Bahamut’s lips.

‘Okay, this is the end of the preparations for the deal. All that remains is to welcome the guest…’

While thinking so, Bahamut’s gaze turned to the royal guards lined up in front of his eyes.

At this moment, the place where Bahamut is standing is a wide passage leading directly to the Great War.

In the Great War in the back, officials including Isolda and Yuria, as well as Hungarian nobles and royalty including Princess Layra, were sheltering.

Although the Black Legion had declined at one time, the strength of the Hungarian Royal Guard was not much different from before.

All of them are warriors who know how to use magical powers, and each one is strong enough to defeat dozens of ordinary humans.

It is safe to say that this place, which can be said to be the strongest in the kingdom in terms of personal capacity, is the safest place in Hungary as it is currently guarded.

And in these places, Bahamut was waiting.

The one who was supposed to arrive here in a little while.

‘According to the original story, he was supposed to come here, but… he wouldn’t fall into another place, would he? Even though the flow has changed a little because of me…’

Bahamut starts to feel a little concerned and nervous like that.

That moment..

-Clap!-

A sudden metallic sound.

In response, Bahamut’s gaze automatically turned towards the sound.

And the person standing there…

“… Ophelia?”

“Please step back, Master.”

-bang!-

The sound of an explosion explodes as soon as she finishes speaking.

And the fleeting moment that followed.

Bahamut was gripped by the terrible feeling of having an ice pick driven down his back.

A terrifying sensation, as if the body was being beaten in the bitter cold.

However, that fleeting sensation soon disappeared like melting snow.

It was right after Ophelia blocked his way.

“That woman… For sure.”

Ophelia speaks in a cold voice.

At the same time, her gaze didn’t know how to get away from that thing in front of her eyes.

“Whew~”

A light whistling sound.

With him, the smoke that filled the hallway instantly cleared, and in the meantime, a person slowly began to appear.

“That… That person… I can’t…”

“Bae.. White Dragon Princess?”

The royal guards begin to show embarrassment at the appearance of a person beyond imagination.

Looking at them, she…

Princess of the Dragona Empire,

Elios Noshelat Dragona had a flawless smile on his lips.
