Chapter 178: I didn’t think you’de back so quickly


    It has stopped somewhere near the royal capital! But the soldiers from that city has begun getting over the walls and into the royal capital! Their numberstheyre reported to have over 10, 000 troops!


    Theres too many of them! The soldiers weve deployed cant handle them! Our soldiers need immediate reinforcements!


    The enemies have made it to the pce! We have a few soldiers within the pce, but we have no choice but to close the gates and prepare for a siege!


    It was one horrible report after the other.


    Try as I might, I couldnt think of a way to deal with all of these developments.


    Neon-sama! What should we do!?


    Please give us your instructions!


    Neon-sama!


    My subordinates pleas sounded so far away.


    <em>I mustnt let them take the royal pceI dread to imagine how angry Edel-sama would be should I let that happenno, failure is not an optionat all cost, I must defend itmy pride as one of the four generals is on the linebut how do I hold it? II cant think of think of anythingits overits all over</em>


    N-Neon-sama?


    Abababababababababa


    Neon-sama has lost it!!!


    Andstop.


    Right before we hit the royal capitals walls, I made the vige stop.


    Alright, are you guys ready?


    Yesssss!


    When I shouted so, the armed vigers enthusiastically replied.


    Each of them armed, they climbed on top of the viges walls through specially prepared staircases and then jumped over the royal capitals walls. Well, since the royal capitals walls were lower than the viges, it might be better to say that the vigers jumped down.


    At any rate, that was how we managed to enter the royal capital.


    We pushed back the Albert forces who were surprised by our attack and made our way to the royal pce.


    We expected it, but the pces gates were closed shut when we arrived. However, through the underground tunnel I built, Selens main troops burrowed under and entered the pce.


    Why are theying from deeper inside!?


    When did they!?


    After Selens troops appeared from behind the Albert soldiers and took care of thetter, they opened the gates from within. Like that, we took back the pce in no time at all.


    Father!


    Ahh! Darinea!


    We managed to rescue the king from his house arrest and bring about an emotional reunion with the princess.


    But I didnt think youde back so quickly


    Neither did I, fatherand its all thanks to Luke-sama over there.


    Oh, youre


    Im Luke Albert, Your Majesty.


    Considering the state of the kingdom, I had thought the king would look like the typical corrupt, lecherous, ipetent, and fat ruler. However, upon looking at him, I saw that he had rather normal physique, rather simple clothes, and a rather earnest and wise look about him.


    I deeply apologize for our actions. We had dragged you in this ordeal without your consent


    The king suddenly bowed his head and apologize. That shocked me quite a bit.


    I-its alright; Im an Albert, after all. Im partly responsible for my fathers violent actions.


    But Ive heard that youve parted ways with Lord Albert some time ago.


    Thats rightI was exiled right after my rite of blessing.


    Hmm, do you hate your father for that?


    I dont hate him. But our values do differ vastly. Unlike him, I have no interest at all in power or war. A peaceful and quiet life is more than enough for me.


    Hahaha, I understand now. You and I are quite alike, it seems. Truth be told, there have been many times in my life where I considered stepping down as king and living that kind of life. s, being born as royaltyes with duties I must prioritize.


    Just like what I heard from the princess and Mitchell-san, the current king seemed like a wonderful person.


    But how did you outmaneuver Lord Albert? Ive heard from your soldiers earlier that you took the opening made by Lord Albert marching to the wastnd and went here instead.


    Ah, yes. We did it by moving the entire vige here.


    excuse me?


    F-father, please look over there.


    Encouraged by the princess, the king looked out of the window. He was so shocked that he fell down.


    W-w-w-w-whats going oooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnn!?
