Chapter 100

“Monsters of the Ayin race in the Pamela Plateau, Northern Livadon, seem to have formed an alliance. There are reports of the more intelligent creatures like the lizardmen and trolls gathering large-scale armies and attacking villages. According to the latest report we received before we left, an army of trolls plundered a fairly large territory in the north.”

“A large-scale alliance between monsters?”

Everyone, including Maxi, appeared shocked at the implausible news.

Sir Remus Baldo snorted loudly as if he found it ludicrous. “Group-dwelling monsters would only make up a small village at most. I have never heard of any Ayins ever organizing into an army like humans in my life.”

“No one has ventured deep inside the Pamela Plateau. Monsters of higher intelligence could have formed a civilization close to a kingdom without our knowledge.”

The color drained from Maxi’s face at the scout’s serious tone. Imagining a massive monster army plundering a human village made her tremble in terror.

Sir Remus stiffened as the severity of the news sank in. “Are you certain?”

“For now, it is still an unconfirmed rumor. But the information about a monster army consisting of lizardmen, trolls, and red goblins carrying out planned raids is true.”

Gabel stroked his chin, deep in thought. “Do you think Livadon can handle the beasts?”

The scout knitted his brow, then shook his head. “If you ask me, there is a high chance that each country will soon be required to dispatch their knights in accordance with the Armistice of the Seven Kingdoms.”

“Then, the first request for reinforcement will be sent to Wedon, since we are part of the Western Alliance.”

Maxi had been quietly listening to their conversation up to this point. She suddenly asked, “D-Do you mean that… the Remdragon Knights will have to join a campaign in Livadon?”

Although she was aware that it was not a discussion she should partake in, her anxiety got the better of her.

Noticing her blanched face, Gabel shook his head. “The Remdragon Knights only just returned from a three-year campaign last year. If Livadon were to request reinforcement, the king would most likely send his royal knights.”

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that. The mages believe that the monster army from the Pamela Plateau pillaging the northern end of Livadon is what’s causing the large-scale migration of monsters. It is a grave problem that can affect the entire Western Continent. I’m certain they will also ask Anatol for assistance. We must be prepared.”

“We will discuss this again when the commander returns,” Gabel replied, shooting daggers at the young knight.

Realizing that the men were cutting their conversation short because of her, Maxi hastily rose from her seat. “The patient… seems to be all right now, so… I should take my l-leave.”

“Allow me to escort you to your chambers, my lady.”

“Th-That won’t be necessary. I can go on my own.”

“No, my lady. You should always have an escort with you even inside the castle,” Gabel replied firmly before heading toward the door.

Before Maxi left, she asked Sir Remus to ensure that Ruth would take a look at the injured knight once he returned.
