"The day after Drouet's invasion, Rene returned to King's Landing.

"What?　"What? Drouette the Decisive?
　I'm sure the adventurer's guild has issued a notice that the city is off limits for now. ...... But he's not the type to worry about that.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　The main adventurers in the country were salvaged from her memories while she was possessed by Iris.
　The second-largest party in the country, the Drouettes. It's the kind of party that the aristocrats of the Holy Kingdom run for fun.
　The leader, Erminio, is an unpredictable adventurer whose behavior is unpredictable and unpredictable. He has not been expelled because he has not committed any crimes, but he has been warned by the Adventurer's Guild three times. It would not be surprising if he had ignored the guild's notice and ridden into the capital.

　Looking at the top of the city walls, I see the Red Rose's flag burning down. They're all dead.

That was a mistake. I should have at least left enough undead here to use the city walls.

　The only undead left in King's Landing were the elite few that could be sustained by Rich's magic, as he wanted to spare Renai's magic for now. The rest were stored in the castle in material form.

Sorry about that. ≪The undead that were destroyed with the Consecration are in a state that cannot be repaired.
"You have nothing to apologize for, Alastor. If you got the condemned back, that's good enough for me. Well, maybe I'm not here to help.
　I'd rather you count my loot. ...... <>.

　When Rene used his magic, a large number of corpses appeared out of thin air like a magic trick, forming a mountain in the square in front of the castle gate.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I'm sure the punishment for Count Gaylor has been completed successfully.

　Alastor nodded reverently.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　Count Gaylor was one of the men who fell to Hilbert during the coup d'etat.
　The spoils of war were these corpses.

　Storage magic is able to store and transport large amounts of items in subspace that would normally be impossible to carry around. You can't put in large creatures (even an ant is out depending on its size), but it doesn't matter for corpses. As you can see, the high-level "Inventory" can easily carry a hundred corpses.
　However, while you are using it, your magic power will be eaten up. Although he has enough magic power (MP), the output of his magic is reduced while using the Inventory, and the cursed red blade of the Dullahan form, which is Rene's greatest weapon, turns into a slug.
　In addition, if he had to maintain a large number of undead, he would not be able to even fly back home, so he did not leave many undead in the capital.

I brought back this much undead, but if I subtract the amount of undead destroyed by Drouet, it's not worth it. And what we lose in quality, we make up for in numbers. ......
　I'm sure you could have won with less damage if I had been there. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
"It's not up to you. You'll end up in trouble with the princess. ......
You can't help it.
　...... But we still need to think of drastic measures.

　Rene ponders.
　You'll be able to get a lot more than that. It's a good idea. Information gathering. Procuring supplies. ......
　There's so much to do, but I'll never be able to do it all by myself.
　If Rene alone could destroy the country and the world, that would be fine, but I know firsthand that the ingenuity, technology, and unity of the human race cannot be underestimated. In order to compete with them, Rene also needs to lead a certain force.

　At the moment, the Noahcurio army that has appeared in the eastern part of Ciel-Teira is the one that concerns him the most.

　Hilbert had requested reinforcements from Noachurio before the fall of King's Landing. They had defeated the advance airborne cavalry in the battle of King's Landing, but the main ground troops had also managed to enter the country a few days later.
　Using Hilbert's request as a banner, he wanted to keep the army under his control under the guise of protecting the citizens.
　And it would be difficult for Rene to go head-to-head with the Noa Curio army. In the event that you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

　--I'll need my friends.

　Rene thinks again about what he thought before.
　I need a strategy.
　I need arms and legs to help me.

　It was greedy, but she couldn't help but wish that Alastor from the Revenant era was here.
　As for the battle against King's Landing, Rene had only given a plan and a direction. It was Alastor who worked out the details of the strategy and created a flexible chart branching according to the situation.
　Alastor, who was turned into a ghoul after the incident, still has most of the knowledge he had before his death, but he has lost most of his memory of the events ......, or in other words, the "implications" of his accumulated experience.
　Udanosuke has inherited the skillful swordsmanship that he honed in actual combat, but it seems that the only exceptions are the memories that are more directly related to combat skills. Even skeletons with no brains inherit the skills they had before they were born, so it seems that they are remembering something different from their bodies.

　The ghoul-transformed Alastor is still capable, as he has a good head on his shoulders and enough knowledge to be an official, but the Alastor who was a brilliant commander and military strategist is gone.
　He may be able to advise René on what to do, but he will not be able to give accurate advice as a political strategist.

Anyway, the attack on the Marquess of Edfelt will go ahead as planned.
　As a tentative measure to secure human resources, if there are any who look good enough, I'll turn them into ghouls and bring them here. We'll also need to replenish our forces. I'll try to get as many knights as I can.
　I wonder if there's a talented courtier somewhere who was involved in national strategy. If I could get to the Revenant, even for a few days, I could get some useful advice.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but the old me would have been able to give you some ideas. ......
It's nothing to apologize for.
　You need to think about ...... your power ups as well. It's a hard strategy. ......



　Rene paused to consider the situation.
　The thought of abandoning everything, hiding in the darkness, and entering a period of training where he could only reinforce himself by eating souls crossed his mind. This is a strategy to raise your level thoroughly and then start laying waste.
　But that would be a last resort. If you take too long, the person you want to avenge will die peacefully on your bed.
　In order to prevent that from happening, I thought I would fight while I could.

　The next day.

　The next day, a paper rain fell on Teirakainen, the capital of the Marquisate of Edfelt.

　The zombie pterodactyls flying in the sky scattered the paper, which was signed by René, saying that he would spare the lives of the people in the city if they gave up their lord.
　The letter was accompanied by a pictogram and a free-style illustration of Rene's handiwork for citizens who could not read.

　The city was in an uproar.
　The fall of the capital was a foregone conclusion, and it was reported that several cities had been attacked since then.
　Some people packed up their belongings and fled eastward. Some put white roses in temples and prayed.
　There were also a few who lost their minds and stormed into the castle, intending to give up their lords, and these were immediately captured.

　These were immediately captured.

　Three days after the rain of leaflets fell on Teiracaines, at the lord's castle.

　Three days after the rain of leaflets fell on Teiracaines, in the lord's castle, Marks Arnold Edfelt, the Marquis of Edfelt, was facing several adventurers in an unusually brightly lit parlor.
　Marks is in his fifties. He is a large man. He may have once had the body of a warrior, but now his girth is a bit shabby. His balding hair was dark brown, and his surviving hair was trimmed short.

"I present to you Drouet the Determined!
　I'm sure you'll have no problem with them, Marquis!

　One of the adventurers held out his hand and introduced the rest of the adventurers. One of the adventurers held out his hand and introduced the rest.
　She ...... said in a bouncy, energetic voice, more alto than tenor, and he had beady, sunset eyes and white porcelain skin. You will find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their life.
　This is Tracy, a middle-aged man in the shape of a girl with a dazzling absolute range.

　He shows you the five members of the "Dolorettes.
　Five people. All five were here, including Erminio, who had fallen in the invasion of King's Landing. Erminio's resuscitation was successful. It was thanks to the "Coffin of the Brave" that prevented the success rate of resuscitation from decreasing with the passage of time, and the "Flying Carpet" that carried it.

　With the fall of the royal capital by the "Rose Princess of Hell", the lords ......, especially those who were under Hilbert's command, were in a state of trepidation. They are trying to protect themselves by recruiting adventurers and mercenaries.
　Even though Tracy is a thief, she is not a fighter, but she is a valuable sixth class (elite). Naturally, she was approached by the Marquis.
　But Tracy doesn't want to get involved in this kind of crazy story. Three days ago, she came to see the Marquis to decline the offer in person. She thought that if she was going to refuse, she should meet the Marquis and be polite.
　But, of all things, it was because of the leaflets that were distributed while I was meeting the Marquis that things got complicated. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a pair of shoes.

You can't complain, Marquis. You can't complain.
　Your bodyguards will be taken care of by 'Drouet the Decisive'.
　...... I won't be stingy with just my escort. If that "Rose of Hell" is coming, we'll take her down.

　When Tracy introduced Erminio, he clenched his fists with renewed determination.
　The way he twisted his thin face and bared his teeth was like a menacing snake.

"...... Those undead. I'm going to make them regret what they've done to me.
　"I will exterminate the Rose Princess of Hell and all of her minions.
　And ...... will prove that "Daring Drowett" is better than the cowardly "spear" who is running around on escort missions. That's it! The adventurer's guild that unfairly keeps me as an adept will wake up soon enough. Hmmm... ......

　Tracy looked at Erminio with warm eyes as he burned.

　One of the reasons why Erminio chose the Kingdom of Ciel-Teirah as a place to play is because the Diretta Holy Kingdom's domestic and neighboring countries are often interfered with by the Drouet family, making it difficult to play freely. He also calculated that he would be the best adventurer in a country of this size.
　In other words, Erminio believes that he is the best adventurer in the country, and that "Dolorette the Decisive" is the best party in the country. This is why he is trying so hard to overturn the unfair reputation of being second best.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them in the market.
　Herminio replies to Edgar with a blatantly ridiculous expression.

"Listen, use your head.
　King's Landing is enemy territory. You don't know what's coming. But if the enemy is willing to jump into our hands, there are many ways to do it. You can set traps, gather your allies and sack them, etc. ......
　Yes, we can do the opposite of what you did the other day.
"Oh, I see. That's my husband.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. The Marquis even seems to be holding back the urge to say something.

'Very good of you. It's good of you to respond to my call. I look forward to your work.


"Expectations, you know. ...... Expectations, you know, that I'll have you betrayed. For the better, of course.

　Instead of complaining, Marks shook hands with Erminio firmly.

　Considering what Marks is going through right now, he would want to have a relationship with a powerful person in the Diretta Holy Kingdom at all costs. Erminio, who jumped into the fray, was an opportunity for Marks. He wouldn't want Erminio to turn his back on him and leave.

　Tracy's introduction of "Drouet the Determined" was also based on her understanding of the situation.
　Marks needs a skilled guard and a way to get to the Holy Kingdom.
　"Erminio wants a chance to fight the Rose Princess of Hell.
　Tracy, who just wants to throw everything at you and run.
　It's a theory of how everyone becomes a picture.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.　Marquis.
Oh, thank you.

　The rest is up to the parties involved, Tracy said as she turned to leave.
　Then, when Tracy put her hand on the doorknob of the parlor.

　There was the sound of a half bell ringing.
　Everyone in the room gasped.

　Tracy rushed to the window. ...... There was a shadow dancing in the sky.
　The bodies of a hippogriff and a wyvern are flying with a skeleton on their backs.
　Outside the city walls, visible from the castle, there are countless figures approaching. An army of undead.

Wait. Are they coming at this time?　We could have escaped if we were an hour later?

　Tracy muttered, stunned.

"Am I too unlucky?
