We Live in Dragon’s Peak - chapter 930 The hardships of the pursuer and the pursued

“It’s hard…”

“Hey, Ernea, what are you doing with your roots up?”

“‘Cause now…”

I looked back at the narrow and long road to the frontier.

Not just me, but everyone’s looking back on the road we’ve been on.

Then, she let out a small exhale as if she was tired.

Two days had already passed since I left the first village that had been troubled by the Divine Weapon.

The evil trick that Alf-san came up with led us to be chased by the Emperor Venerable Mansion.But unexpected hardship awaited us.

I spit out my folly, worrying about the situation behind me. [M]

“After all, the Emperor Mansion is too slow!”

That’s right!

The Imperial Venerable Mansion’s speed of tracking us was unexpectedly slow, and we had to struggle with something other than what we had initially imagined.

If it hadn’t been for Alf-san’s suggestion, you’d have sprinkled it already, right?

“Even the gods are amateurs in their pursuit.”

Unlike the Emperor Mansion, you’re not a good tracker.

Euphoria and Nina are right.

The Emperor Mansion, who had been given boiling water by Mistral, came after us with his companions to retaliate.And yet, it’s a slow pace, and I have to worry about it.

Thus, it is very troublesome to keep a distance while taking a break along the way.

Moreover, I had to intentionally leave traces of us in the Emperor’s Palace, or let them expect us to catch up with them in a little while.Because if I didn’t, the Emperor Venerable Mansion, which wasn’t a good tracker, might give up along the way or lose its motivation.

“Damn it. They’re really a bunch of people.”

Alf-san didn’t seem to expect the Emperor Mansion to be so sloppy either.

Our impression was that everyone in the Emperor’s Palace thought they were like Magurdo, but they weren’t.

Well, that’s right.

The Emperor Venerable Mansion is a group of gods with a strong heart to worship the Emperor, so some of them are ordinary citizens.Rather, it has penetrated deeply into the general public, so I will encounter it even at this periphery.

Even so, it may be hard for an amateur to track us down when we’re used to travelling.

What happened to the super-skilled soldier?

“Onii-chan, those people have to support the people with their feet, so it’s going to be late in the end, right?”

“That’s right…”

Lynn regularly reports to me.

The Emperor Venerable Mansion that was following us was a total of thirty people.

Of these, four seem to be extremely skilled.

If the Emperor Venerable Mansion that was tracking us was attacked by a monster, the four of them would fight at the center, and the others would stop.

It’s a god tribe, so I feel like anyone could defeat a monster as easily?

The gods are far superior to the humans, aren’t they?

Then, even adventurers of the human race can kill monsters, so I thought it would be good for breakfast if it was the god race.

Alf and Amira laughed bitterly at my question.

“Even if you have higher strength and physical abilities than the humans, can’t those who have not been trained to use them properly fight?”

“Everyone in our village was a martial arts fighter.”But normally, there are people who are not used to fighting because they are frightened when they see monsters. ”

If you ask me, you’re right.

The villagers who had stopped by before were ordinary people who seemed to have no power at first sight.If you didn’t know that this is the land of gods and that people other than slaves are gods, you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

Looking back more, the same is true of the Squad merchant gods we met before.I couldn’t fight myself, so I had a human slave escort me.

As Alf and Amira say, even though the race is better than the human race, the divine race is normal.

And I think the majority of the Emperor Venerable Mansion who will be tracking us are ordinary people like that.

That said, it’s hard if you keep trying to escape like a boulder.

“Don’t say that. We should be at the edge of the seal soon.”

That means that the island of Paradise for the Heavenly Clans is close as well?

Forests, mountains and skies as far as the eye can see.

The path stretches like a deep forest, through rich mountains.

Although it was not as steep as the Dragon Peak, the ridges of the mountains were always high.

The sky, which covered the forest and mountains, had fewer clouds and spread beautifully everywhere.

But I don’t feel any signs of water.

The creek can be heard, but there’s no sign of a lake filled with lots of water.

Even if I sharpened my mind, it didn’t seem like the spirits of the water were active.

Then Alf-san told me, staring to the west.

“The island is a little further.”But from here on out, it’s Uncle Monde’s territory.If it’s locked down, do you think it’s coming from around here? ”

I see.

It seems that the territory of Monde Bordeaux is very vast.It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the periphery around here is the territory of Uncle Monde.

However, if the territory is too large, it will be a lot harder.Especially on the periphery, which is struggling to come and go.

Therefore, apart from directly managing the surrounding areas, including the Heavenly Clan’s paradise, Uncle Mondo leaves the villages and towns to his small nobles who are breathing.

I guess Gildia was one of them.

“All right, let’s take a little break here.”If the Emperor Venerable Mansion doesn’t catch up with us a little bit, our operation will be hindered. ”

“I don’t have a choice. If that’s the case, would you like to wait a little longer?”

We were planning to use the Imperial Palace to break through the military blockade.That’s why, if the Emperor Mansion doesn’t catch up with us, a sense of urgency won’t arise.

When we sat down, we decided to put in a little pause.

Lila quickly sends everyone a cup of tea.

Amira prepares the food and Louise and Madeline take care of Priscia and Nimia in their spare time.

Euphoria and Nina dissociated themselves from each other, and Cefina was as vigilant as ever in her surroundings.

I’ll see where it’s sealed off from.

Then, Yun-yun disappeared and went on a reconnaissance due to her secrecy.

Even the Rock Divine Clan doesn’t realize that people like Yun Yun and Lin Lin are exploring.

“If you become a god general or a martial arts god, you might notice something uncomfortable.”However, normally, people like Spirit, Yun and Lin would not think that they were scouting themselves or surrounding themselves. ”

Even the brilliant soldier in the Imperial Venerable Mansion was unaware of Linlin’s sign.

We don’t even grasp the movement of spirits in our normal lives.

When you think about it, even if people who are invisible and don’t feel the signs are being watched from time to time, the parties won’t know.

Huh?

Wait a minute.

Thinking about it, I wonder if the Demon Ruler has grasped our movements?

Is it always seen by the forces we can’t sense or by somebody?

No way, I seriously tried to find out what was going on around me.

But I couldn’t read any discomfort.

“I still can’t sense it…”

What are you talking about?

“No, no, it’s personal.Don’t worry about it. ”

There’s a chance I’m overreacting.

However, if we can realize this little thing and build up a lot of things in the future, we may be touched by the presence of that terrible demonic ruler.

Well, even if I felt a sliver, I definitely wouldn’t want to get involved!!

By the way, Ernea-kun.

“Yes, Amira-san. What is it?”

Now that she could speak, Amira started to talk a lot.

After all, I’m a woman with a throbbing heart. I love conversation.

I’ve seen you happily talk to everyone along the way, like you never stop talking.

The Amira-san questioned me with a cool and gentle voice like the sound of a bell.

“I was a little curious.Will the mist that has returned to the Dragon Peak be able to rendezvous properly? ”

Oh, I see.

Mistral returned to the Dragon Peak two days ago to deliver the Dragon Man Grandmother.And he hasn’t come back yet.

Amira is worried that Mistral will find us safely and come back.

But it’s okay.

I answer with a smile. [M]

“If it’s Mistral, don’t worry.” If we were far away, we and Mistral could feel each other.Besides, I’ve been on the road so far, so even Mistral won’t get lost. ”

Rather, aren’t you worried that Ernesto will get lost?

Amira-san!?

My wives used to play with me, so I passed it on to Amira-san!?

Was my reaction funny, Amira?

Everyone laughed when they saw it.

Of course, so did Alf-san.

Moreover, Alf-san seemed to have come up with something even worse in his current conversation.

“Okay, I’ve decided.”

Rejected!

It reacts quickly!

I mean, it’s just a bad feeling, isn’t it?

It has become clear in the last few days that Alf has the same kind of personality as Slutton.

The plan that Alf flashed is definitely not a busy one.

But Alf-san doesn’t mind my refusal, he says his thoughts.

It’s boring moving along the road like this.

Huh? Well then, what are we going to do?

Are you sure you want to get off the road and break through the woods?!

I was worried. [M]

“Well, listen. If we keep going along the road, we’ll get caught in the military seal, of course.”

You were planning to use the Emperor Venerable Mansion to break through that, right?

“Yeah, but don’t you think it’s much easier to fit in a few soldiers than to fit in a lot of soldiers?”

Travelers come and go along the road.Of course, the army moves along the road.So it’s only natural that there are a lot of soldiers stationed along the road.

Alf told us that it would be easier and easier to trick the few sentinel soldiers in the area of the siege, which had become weak off the street, than to continue on the road and set up a trap for the large number of soldiers stationed there.

But how?

With everyone tilting their necks anxiously, Alf-san tells them his thoughts.

“If we break through the siege, sooner or later the soldiers will chase us.”Then the Emperor’s Palace and the soldiers must all come after us!Rather, it’s more convenient for us that way. ”

And the armies that laid the net could not enter, even the merchants, which were the chief of the lives of the inhabitants of the outlying villages.

So you won’t be putting us in the back of a travelling seal.

“Even so, if we forcefully break through…”Soldiers will come after us, no doubt.

I see. If you go down the road and break through the siege, you’ll be chased by a lot of soldiers.

But why don’t you break through the woods?

There are few guards, and few soldiers are coming after us!

Well, over time, the number of soldiers we’ve been in touch with will increase.

That’s why it’s better to trick a handful of soldiers deep in the forest, isn’t it?

“But I don’t know…”

After all, I only have a bad feeling about it.

And I often hang out with people like me.

“That’s why.”

Alf laid his hand on my shoulder.

You’re the one who pulls the Emperor Mansion deep into the forest?

Yeah, yeah!

After all, I had a bad feeling!

Everyone laughs funny when they see me slumping.Of those, only Priscia said, “Do you want to help me?”He called out to me gently.

But it’s okay. Because if Priscia joins us, things will get even worse!
