It was raining once again.
It cleared up four days later, and early that morning, they were suddenly informed about the expedition.
They received the command to do the wild beast subjugation.
They had their own thoughts about it, but with the position that Diablo’s group was in, there was no way they could oppose it.
While leaving the main force of Caliture’s stationed troops in the town, the Feudal Lord left the town taking along a few troops and Diablo’s group with him.
They stayed at a post town for one night.
The morning of the next day──
Finally, they linked up with the ten thousand reinforcements that came from the royal capital.
The commander of the reinforcements made a salute.
Martis returned the salute.
「Good work.」
Incidentally, there was no horse that could support his body weight, so he used a carriage for travel.
Inside the box-shaped carriage that was remodelled with a largish door was furnished with a chair that was like a bed. He occupied a width that could hold three people all by himself.
A man wearing a mantle that had a familiar crest on it stepped forward from within the reinforcements.
「……He isn’t my type. Well, I guess it’s time to work──Nice to meet you, Lord Caliture.」
The 《Royal Palace Chivalric Order》
Moreover, it was a face that they knew.
Long hair, tall figure, and thick lips. His muscular body was covered in red armor.
Rem’s eyes opened wide.
「Geibalt!?」
「Uwa……So we meet again, Ochibi-chan.」
He sent a wink at Rem.
With him being someone they had fought before, Shera was frightened and hid behind Diablo.
「Hii」
If he remembered correctly, he was the Holy Knight that attacked Lumachina.
At that time, he had hit him with a 《Cross Blizzard》, but it seemed that he had stubbornly lived through it.
He once again attacked them in the 《Demon King’s Labyrinth》……
Horun fell into a waterway, and as a result of chasing after her, Diablo had lost his precious EX-class equipment.
And then, according to Rem’s story, Geibalt betrayed the Church (the Cardinal Institute), and seemed to have fallen under the Royal Palace Chivalric Order.
Diablo snorted.
「Hmph……You were loitering about for some reason……but right now, are you that glasses-macho’s underling?」
「Yes, I……am in love.」
That was information he didn’t want to hear.
Martis cut into the conversation.
「Do you know each other? This time is a united front, so I ask that you get along. People of the reinforcements, I am sorry to do this when you have just come from such a long journey but──the deadline of the subjugation that His Majesty had commanded draws near. Furthermore, the newly developed Southern territory is currently in its rainy season. You would want to do mountain hunting while it’s sunny, right?」
It would become a forced march but it seemed that they would be heading to the mountain immediately after joining up.
Rem opened a small map.
「……The town is here. Right now, this is the highway that we’re on……and this is the silver mine here.」
Within that silver mine mountain, the Kobold’s settlement was also hidden there.
Geibalt spoke.
「It’s fine if we find the wild animals and slaughter them, right? Is ten thousand troops really necessary for something so simple?」
Martis breathed a sigh.
「They are an elusive bunch. It would be fine if we could strike their nest, but even if we kill several of them a bit at a time, they end up appearing again. It won’t be easy to root them out.」
「I know that.」
Going “Plus!”, Martis added to his words.
「It is troubling that you forgot about the Spriggan!」
Hearing those words, Geibalt let out a laughter.
「Kufufu……That thing, I don’t think it’ll come out anymore, you know?」
「What do you mean by that?」
「The reason why the reinforcements took so much time to arrive was because the highway collapsed──though I think that’s already been reported. After investigating closer, fragments of the Spriggan were discovered.」
「Fragments!?」
「Looks like someone, had defeated it already, see?」
Geibalt’s sticky-looking gaze turned towards Diablo.
Diablo clicked his tongue in his mind.
With the Kobolds’ fighting power getting evaluated to be lower and lower, the chances of peace negotiations became difficult.
And the one who created that cause, was himself.
「Kuh……」
Geibalt approached him, and spoke with a small voice.
「Fufufu……Even after becoming the Greenwood King and becoming a hero whose fame reached even the Lifelia royal capital, are you still trying to hide your achievements? Is that your hobby? Or could it be that you have a different objective?」
Diablo glared at him.
「Do not pry unnecessarily. If you value your life that is.」
「Really? I don’t mind, why don’t you just do as you like. But, don’t get in my way, okay. I’m going to hurry up and finish this mission out here in the sticks, and return to the royal capital and get praised by Max♪」
By Max──was that a nickname for the Commander of the Royal Palace Chivalric Order, Maximum Abrams?
He was an opponent that he didn’t want to antagonize if at all possible.
