219 202. Preparation




"d*mn it! What the hell are you people? But you're a kid! You monster!

 Count Bacchiano, a former Regalia nobleman, shouts at me. Around me are scattered the ones who were Count Bacchano's subordinates.

 I can see that General Melia, standing behind me, is angry at Count Bacchano's shouting, but I stop him with my hand.

'It's fine, Bucket. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect what you want to protect. 'Then, former Count of the Empire of Regalia, Count Makeo Bacchano. You have repeatedly ignored our advice and put up a fight. You will be punished for that.

You're being punished, you invader! You know what happens if you kill me! I have ties to the Emperor! If you kill me, the Emperor will be displeased! It's going to be a war!

 Count Bacchino smiles a lowly smile and says such nonsense. Huh, how many times have we had this exchange?

'What about it? Are you afraid of the Regali Empire and can you rule the former Regali territory? You'll say the same thing to His Majesty the Emperor at that time.

...What, you know, what?

 Count Bacchino is confused by my statement. I ignore it and tell the soldiers to take him away. It's utterly troublesome.

'Thank you for your service, Master Ray.

Yes, General Melia is tired. What's the damage?

There were some wounded soldiers, but all have already been treated to the extent that they can be healed with magic. There are no casualties here. Count Baccano's men suffered about 100 men, I believe.

What about the people?

'I'm not with the people, but I have found the women trapped in the basement of Count Bacchino.

 Snap!

 And I hear the floor cracking underneath me. ........calm down, me. You're spewing out your magic in anger. Deep breaths, deep breaths. Phew~. Looking at General Melia, General Melia is also breaking out in a cold sweat. I'm sorry every time, every time.

"I'm sorry, General Melia. The soldiers don't have any women........ Let me hire some of the residents here to take care of the affected women. Also, let the territorial residents eat the meat from the orcs they hunted in the mountains last time.

'All right. Please don't worry about me. I understand how you feel, Master Ray.

 General Melia said just that and excused herself and left the room. Phew, you managed to get there in time. This allowed us to capture all the rebellious nobles. I'll have to leave it to the deputies and others for a little while, but for now, this will settle things down.

 It's been two weeks since I sent letters from all over the country. And thanks to the fastest delivery service I asked Levin and Hilde to provide, I received replies from all over the country a week later. Levin-san was pissed that it was an emergency and I had no choice.

 Well, there's no way I'm going to use an old dragon as a leg. If I wasn't Ekra's fiancé, the old dragon would have lost his temper and battled immediately, because Hilde-san was laughing at me.

 Well, every old dragon had agreed with an immediate answer when Ekla made a sad face, "Curu........ It was cholo.

 And the reply that came back was the reply of approval from every country. We are going to gather in the Royal Domain next week.

 As for how they will gather, we will make use of the transference magic circle in the Regalia Empire. Until now it was a secret, but there were several broken transfer magic circles in the former Regalia Empire's fort, so me, Merlin-san who can use transfer magic, and Dorothea-san analyzed them.

 Then I used transfer magic over and over again to raise the level up to level 5 and created a transfer magic circle. The size was about 5 meters in diameter, though.

 Spatial magic was originally level 3, so if I used transference about 100 times a day for a few days, my level went up. This was also thanks to the blessings and increased magic power.

 And since I used it myself to see if it would work, and it was a success, I asked the dragons to take the board that drew this transfer magic circle to each country.

 Soberly, it was difficult to draw the transference magic circle. You have to draw a fixed shape with special paint and magical power called the transference magic gate. I'm not sure if I've ever seen it.

 But thanks to this, you can now go back and forth from each country to the royal domain. Each country must have the magic power to activate it, but we can send one person with the magic power of two normal people. I've managed to improve it, so you'll have to forgive me for that.

 And now they had captured the rebellious nobles in turn. We can't call the kings of all countries to a place where there's no security.

 In order to be able to gather soldiers in the territory where the mansion is located, they decided to capture the nobles who are currently responsible for allocating soldiers. Today will be the last of them.

 All the nobles said similar things, and all the nobles did the same nauseating thing, capturing women in the same way.

 What was particularly bad was that there was a nobleman who took pleasure in hurting women. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the bottom of the house.

 I killed the whining nobleman on the spot and burned the women who had become undead in the house. I'm sorry for the women, but once that happened, there was no way to return to the way things were.

'Ray. We're ready to go.

Okay. Okay.

 I was remembering the nobles who had come here, and Dagris was here.

 He's ready to leave. I leave the mansion with Dagris behind me. Dagris is in the position of my close guard, for one thing.

 It's not just Dagris, but everyone else as well, and their status has grown across the board thanks to the Knotty Guys that they made with me. Well, they don't lack training. It's just that their statuses are commensurate with that.

 When Dagris and I leave the mansion, we are divided into two groups in front of the mansion: those who are leaving and those who are staying. I'm sorry for the group that stays behind to deal with the aftermath, but I wish them the best of luck.

 When I return, I'll have to help with the preparations. I've been left to my own devices, with the three princesses in the lead. I've been to the Nanor Kingdom to inspect the shifting magic circle, and I've also asked someone who is familiar with the meetings between those countries to come over.

''Ray-sama. We're ready to go.

All right. I'm sorry about the rest of your men, but I need them to work a little harder. Captain Berne, you're in charge.

Ha!

 I'm going to ride a horse that a soldier brought to me. I haven't had much of a chance to ride, but I can ride as well as anyone.

"General Melia.

'Yes! Squad out!

 General Melia's order for the returning group to proceed. It's about three days from here to the estate where the mansion is located. And then they'll be gone before long if they do anything else. Let's see. Let's hope it goes off without a hitch.
