　His troops were in a miserable state.

　With this single-minded determination, Roland desperately tried to inspire his allies.

　However, his allies were slow to react, and they were only inertially advancing, unable to even properly hold up their swords.

　The troops were tossed about by the "White Wolf's" ever-changing attacks, which came and went like waves, and they were being overtaken at will.

　One by one, the allies fell, and soon Roland was the only one left.

　Sweat was pouring down his face like a waterfall.

　As Roland was puzzled, unable to grasp the situation, a woman with green eyes peeked out at him with concern.

　To Roland, she looked like a goddess.

Roland," she said. You're awake."

'Are you ...... Lily?　Why are you here? I mean, here at ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look around involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was my room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a towel and a tub of water beside him.

（Lily," he said. (Lily, you've been taking care of me all day, haven't you?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You gave me a big surprise. I heard that you came back from the dungeon, so I rushed here. You were unconscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne said as she wiped Roland's face with a wrung-out towel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Dungeon ......, did I, did the troop make it out of the dungeon alive?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, sir. According to Leon, as soon as I got back from the dungeon, I must have been knocked out or passed out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. So the unit was safe. Oh, yes. The people who were taken prisoner by the White Wolf are at .......

Mr. Leon and the other members of the Shield of Dawn are negotiating on behalf of the Alliance. So far, there have been no problems, and it is expected that the prisoners will be released tomorrow.

I see. No problems?

　Roland lay back on his bed as if his strength had been drained with relief.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," he said. So, Roland, you can rest a little longer. ......

　When Roland was waking up, Alice, Claire, Will, and the others who had been captured were being released from the "White Wolf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The release of the prisoners was carried out without a hitch in accordance with the island's prisoner of war agreement by the White Wolf and Leon, who had become the temporary representative of the alliance.

　Alice stretched out her wrists, which had stiffened completely due to the restraints.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Haaaa. I'm finally free from captivity. My body is so stiff!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's been a long time since I was a POW. I hope Hans is all right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was like, "Hmmm. I don't know. I don't know. I hope he's not a liability to the alliance.

　Alice worries about her brother with a difficult face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Whoa, talk of the devil, looks like we've got a pickup.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Will said as he looked at Lana and Hans coming from the other side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Alice, Claire. Are you safe?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Brother..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hans rushes toward Alice and Claire, while Lana rushes toward Will to make sure they are safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We're fine," Hans said. What happened to the Alliance?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I managed to make it back to the city without collapsing. But thank God.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They rejoiced for a while, celebrating each other's safety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see," he said. Roland collapsed.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was pushing myself too hard, wasn't I?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do it," he said. I wasn't much help during the retreat. I'll have to go visit him when he wakes up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But what happens to the alliance now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alice mumbled to herself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Because this time it's practically a failure, isn't it?　Our losses are still minor, but the loss of the 'Arsenal of Spirits' must be ridiculous, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The alchemy guild-led alliance has seen its limits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't mean to tell me that the Arsenal of Spirits itself will end ......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll have to ...... ask Roland about that. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The five of them become uniformly somber.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was almost evening when Roland woke up again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes," Roland said. Uh-oh."

　Lillianne brings a cut apple to Roland's mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Lily. I'm fine. I can move. You don't have to be so careful."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure. It's fine. Yes, it's good. Ahn."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mmm."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland unavoidably takes the fruit Lilianne offers into his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I've had a chance to look at the alliance's lineup," she said. There were some poor adventurers in the unit who had not even adjusted their stats. Their equipment is also in shambles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uh-uh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's not like you. To do something so reckless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The adventurer situation on this island is not straightforward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I heard this from a staff member at the workshop (atelier). I heard that adventurers are allowed to fight each other on this island.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure. There is a guild called 'White Wolf' that makes its living by robbing adventurers, and these guys are just a nuisance. They do exactly what we don't want them to do. The "Dragon's Fires" are also a problem. I heard that it is the largest workshop on the island and one of the best alchemy guilds in the world. ...... Well, it is true that there are many excellent alchemists. But the reality is that they are merchants of death. They make profit by making adventurers fight each other and wear out their equipment. The situation is complicated by the small adventurers on the island. They pressure the adventurers' guilds from outside to form alliances and depend on them, but when it comes time to fight, they are uncooperative, putting their own guild's interests first. This makes it easier for the "White Wolf" to move around, which in turn spurs the malignancy of the "Dragon's Fires.

Hmmm." I see. So everything is different from the "City of Adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How's it going in the City of Adventurers?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It doesn't look good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne sighed with annoyance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Mr. Roland's long absence from the guild is beginning to take its toll. Lillianne sighed in annoyance. "People are starting to ask how long it will take to prepare for the defeat of Grand Fafnir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I have tried to defend Mr. Roland's position as much as possible. ...... However, I am troubled. I was going to ask about the progress of the preliminary work and urge a deadline during this visit, but now that I've heard what you've said, I don't think I can rush to a conclusion without a fight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lillianne crosses her arms and ponders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess so," she said. Lillianne crossed her arms and thought about it. "Well, it pains me too that I can't give you a definite answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland also put his hand on his face and made a gesture as if at a loss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said, "However, this incident has exposed that the alchemists in the workshop (atelier) are still mentally immature. I thought it would be okay if we shifted our focus to training adventurers, but I was naive. Looking at that defective equipment, it seems we took our eyes off the workshop (atelier) too soon. I don't know what to do. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You seem to be struggling, Mr. Roland."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Roland was startled by the voice that called to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This voice was ......)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked toward the entrance and saw someone Roland knew well standing there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ranju!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Aryeh and Cheal also appear from behind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We've finished our work in the 'adventurer's town' ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm here to support you!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know about dungeon exploration, but I think we can be of help when it comes to running the alchemy guild and workshop (atelier).
