Chapter 60 (1/2)

While carrying Oracle-chan, I came to the city of Spike near the Oracle's Great Cave

I decided to rest for a while at Viscount Ortholet's castle

「This is, hero Takeru-sama I welcome you Weren't you supposed to be in the capital for a conference with the Geration?」

「Ah, it's over I just went to the great cave for a moment」

Ortholet e face

Probably because of time It will take about four to five days on a horse to travel from the capital to the city of Spike

I think that it is about tiation of the empire to return They're probably on their way home at this moment

「Well, since it's hero-sa is impossible It may be impossible for me to entertain you but I can at least serve you some tea」

As usual, Viscount has not hired a maid

His subordinate soldier is the one who brought tea but I no longer mind it since I already consider him as family

「Ah… tentacles…」

I laid down Oracle-chan to bed and sometimes, her body convulsed because of the severe cruelty she experienced

While taking a breather by drinking tea, I talked with the viscount

I am thankful for the viscount who reads the at about Oracle-chan's ony

「Then, hero-sama, the diplomacy with Gemania…」

「You can say that it did not go well and they ht declare war suddenly」

Even after hearing the bad news, Viscount Ortholet didn't look too surprised

「Is that so? As the feudal lord of Oracle, I must prepare」

「I' able to avoid war」

If the Germania empire will attack up to the Capital city of Silesie, the City of Lauren and the City of Spike will definitely be on their route

「No, actually, we are steadily preparing for a defensive battle with the direct guidance of His Excellency, Secretary of State Lyle」

「Eh, sensei already made a move here?」

「Yes, State Secretary Lyle has come to my castle himself」

「He overnment affairs in the capital?」

As expected of sensei but since when did he came here?

「The strategy he plotted is secret!」

「Indeed, even I didn't hear any details」

If it's necessary, sensei will tell me about it later

「In addition, there is a sudden increase of wild thieves in my territory」

「Huild?」

I don't know about other territories but my territory, Viscount Ortholet, and Marquis Est territory won't be attacked by thieves because we have talked with Wake

「They are not frouild, they are wild thieves」

「Ah, maybe they are spies from Germania」

「These days, thieves can be hired as mercenaries…」

「Right, they ht have already been eation of the battlefield」

It is still uncertain whether there will be a war

But it see behind the scenes

After waiting for Oracle-chan's recovery in the viscount's castle, we fly into the sky and return to the castle in the capital

In a highway on the way, I saw the empire's convoy who are on their way home

A group of knights were carrying a flag with Germania Empire's symbol which is a purple colored shell

Freed is probably riding that big, four-horse drawn, luxurious carriage

Though it has no suspension, it is a state of the art carriage where the carriage is hung by chains to reduce shaking

By the way, I only know the name ”suspension” but it is one of those thinks I still can't reproduce

I can so but I also want to put rubber on tires Unfortunately, there are no rubber trees here

I thought of dropping boe to stop the war but I stopped

I can't i orichalcuer war oppositely

「Well, there is an opportunity to fight hie there」

Freed doesn't know that I've got a neutral sword

The surprise attack strategy that he used against ainst him in reverse

At that tiolden lion emperor

—Scene Change—

A further surprise report aiting for me who returned to the capital

「Hero-sama this is serious! The castle of Ox was attacked by bandits and the dukedom's princess was abducted!」

「Haa, one after another……」

「We, the spy troops, are in the town but this still happened I have no excuse」

Neneka bowed that round

Of course, I' Neneka

All the cheat class is in the capital and the castle of Ox was empty

Rather, it’s my mistake

The thieves lurking in the city pretended to be drifters and suddenly attacked various parts of the castle It seee

Their number is said to have exceeded 50 people

One of the escort knights of Princess Caroline was killed and the other one was seriously injured

Certainly, I heard a ru number of suspicious newcomers in Ortholet's territory So they hid in my territory?

Recently, because of the alliance with Wake, there was no daot careless

「I guess they are not uild Do you knohere those wild thieves are?」

「It seeroup We are tracking their footsteps so we'll find their hideout soon」

The golden eagle bandit group is the one that I' when Wake showed up I should have disposed of them earlier

I regret it from the bottom of my heart The cause of all of this is my over-optimism

It still feels regrettable even though I' now

Though it will be bad for Oracle, I need to cross the devil's o back to the castle of Ox

I had Kaara carry Neneka

I intended to fly around more to look for the hideout of the ene in a deserted village near the castle

「All right, let’s go!」

The soldiers from the castle and the spy troops head to the hideout I want to rescue the princess as soon as possible so I fleith my Oracle-chan booster

If it's the present me, I can kick 50 to 60 thieves alone!

Ah, alone was an overstatement, I'll be assisted by Kaara and Oracle-chan!

「Haa haa, you use your e continuously is tiring」

「I' Oracle work too hard」

「It's okay I can still work since there's still the energy I got from Takeru」

We're in an eency so I'll pretend I didn't hear it

We landed on the hideout which is an abandoned village

「HEY YOU!」Read at SHMTranslationscom

The thieves are gathering so I raised the sword of light and shout out loud

「Oi Kaara, monitor the thieves from above and kill the thieves who'll run away!」

「Aahh, suddenly shouting!」

Kaara flow to the sky at the speed of sound I slashed a thief ossan from the base of his neck

The thief collapses as I cut his neck diagonally Blood sprays like water from his neck but I can't choose where his blood will splutter

「Uaa!」

「Don't run away! You'll die if you move unskillfully!」

Bashu bashu(SFX), the necks and torso of the thieves who tried to escape were slashed one after another

TN: splashi+ng sound

When these guys attacked my castle, it was certain that I will kill them all

「I just have one demand, I want you to return the one you kidnapped, Princess Caroline!」

「Huahahaha, you hero bastard, the princess is no longer here!」

A poor looking bearded lared at me with bloodshot eyes He looks insane as he scowls at me

I recognize hiroup

「Where did you take the princess?」

「I will not say even if I die!」

In this situation, I was surprised that he still es to pull a sword and tried to stab me

I quickly ju metal needle was shot at my face

「Chii!」Read at SHMTranslationscom

It looks like a poisoned needle

I deflected it with loves Does he really think that he can kill me with that?

「I'll directly ask your body!」

I cut the fingers of his feet together with his shoes with the sword of light

The leader of the golden eagle bandit group gets down on his knees because of the sudden acute pain That ruins his play so far
