Princess In Another World: New Story
63
The first plan began, some of the Dragon race, Drawf, HalfHuman and also Elf went to where Leiava rose to look for information that could be obtained. The more information, the better.
Traveling with dragons would probably take several hours, besides the movements of the Elf race and also the other races had advantages in their movement and agility. I'm sure this information gathering could go smoothly, at least that's what I expected.
A few hours after that.
“It seems they are not back.” (Utarus) Those who were given the task of finding information about Leiava did not return.
“So, yes. At least at least I hope one of them can return safely, if you can all return safely here.”
“Child, throw your naive thoughts away. It's the battlefield, loss of life is part of it. Want how great a strategy you make there will definitely be casualties, fall victims, most importantly all the troops in this war they were all willing to die to protect what they wanted to protect. You must understand the feelings of all of them, therefore do not make such naive thoughts.” (Morocch)
“Sorry.”
“One of them is back!!” (??)
When I heard that, I went straight to him. The one that came back was the dragon race, but he looked so exhausted. “What happened?”
“Magic energy and mana are almost exhausted, if left he will die.”
“Wait a minute, I'll do something.” I gave her my mana to make her recover. “Seems to succeed.” His breathing is back in order.
“Bokah, thank you so much for helping my people.”
“No problem, besides he's the only one who can come back, so as much as possible I want to get information from him. But before that, you better let him rest for a while.”
“Ya, you're right.”
We decided to go back to the tent and talk more about the strategy to be used.
Long enough after that.
“Sorry disturb. I was the only scout member who managed to survive.” (??) He, the dragon in charge of lurking came here.
“My son, can you tell me what really happened there, and why are you the only one who made it back?” (Morocch)
“Rajaku, forgive me. Just as we entered the valley of death, all the mana and magic we had seemed to be drained out there.”
“Leiava? Did you see it?”
“Leiava has not shown itself, but the closer the great power is the more I feel sure that Leiava is trying to get out of the earth.”
“So. Leiava was sealed within the ground, although he had managed to break the seal but he was still trying to recover by sucking magic and trying to get out of the ground. But, since the valley of death has no life so whoever approaches it then the magic and mana will be drained. At least that's what I can conclude now.”
“Revelation your observation can also nak.” (Reans)
“That is true, the sealing selection of Leiava by the first hero indeed cannot be considered as a coincidence, other than that demon race who has helped a lot in that regard. Fishing Leiava to the valley of death and sealing it.” (Morocch)
“Given that time, I can't imagine how many of my people died at that time because of my behavior at that time.” (Utrus)
“So.” For some reason in this case I became a little sympathetic to the demon lord. “Focus focus.” At present there is more important, if it fails then there will be more fatalities.
“Child, do you have any plans for this matter?”
“Hmmm, impassable territory, it looks like Leiava will not move for some time but on the other hand we also can not attack because of the territory.”
“Territory, what?” (Reans)
“I mean dindin barrier that will take mana and magic belongs to Leiava.”
“You use complicated words.”
“Sorry, but for now there's not much we can do. If I can hope to get more information, but with the territory there is not much we can do.”
“What if we attack him using the strongest magic?” (Morocch)
“That's not a good idea, if it gets done there's a high chance the magic will be absorbed upon touching that territory. For now I hope all your troops can be on standby for future attacks, for now because I still lack information I cannot predict what the direction of this war will be. Careful preparation is needed to defeat a formidable enemy.”
“For a teenager, you can say something as wise as that. All right, we'll say that to the entire squad we brought.” (Utrus)
“Oh yes, if I can ask for details how many troops do you guys bring?”
“Ya, sure.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Quite a while after that, the sky palace of the dugout.
“Ari, how?”
“Hmmm, this is pretty bad. Currently the attack can not be done, besides the enemy turned out to be more troublesome than I imagined.”
“Then, what is that on the table?”
“This, the paper about the number of troops alliance between races.”
“Can I read it?”
“Please.”
“Hmmm, Drawf army 150 thousand, dragon army 300, HalfHuman army 230 thousand, Elf army 20 thousand, then demon king army 570 thousand. That's a lot.”
“Yes, compared to the human alliance the number of troops possessed by the race alliance is very few.”
“But, 300 dragons is a lot and again 570 thousand demon troops, isn't that a very large number. Even I doubt that 3 million human troops will be able to defeat 50 dragons or 500 thousand demon troops.”
“Your offering is too much, but it's true. Although the number is less compared to the royal alliance, but the strength of the race alliance cannot be underestimated.”
“Ari, you look worried what's going on?”
“Haaaa, I just thought this war would be harder than I expected.”
“Once, yes.”
“Iona, sit here.” I told him to sit next to me and he obeyed.
“What's up?”
I lay down and slept on his lap. “Haaaa, I'm so tired. This is the best way for me to replenish my depleted energy.”
Iona smiled. “If you're tired you can ask me, I'll do this as much as you want.”
“Thanks.”
“Iona.”
“Ya?”
“After this war is over, I want a simple life. Living a life without burdens like military duty or anything else, I was tired of it all. Can I get it?”
“Just relax, if that's your wish then I'll try it as best I can. Besides, I'm tired of this too. After my education is over, I think we can live like an ordinary family.”
“So. Thanks.” My mind and mind are so tired of everything that happens, after this war is over I hope I can get what I want.
“Ari.”
“What's up?”
“I beg you, until this war is over stay alive.”
“Let's just relax, I've got plenty of reasons to return safely. You don't have to worry about that.”
“So.”
“Haaaa, Iona I want to rest for a while. Good night.”
“Ya, sweet dreams.”
---------
Long enough after that, the day was getting late and Ari had fallen asleep so soundly.
“Yo..”
“Stttt.. Don't be noisy.”
“Ahh, sorry.” Prince Ari has arrived here. “He's been sleeping since?”
“Ya, it's been a while.”
“Hmmm, his sleep is so good. Looks like he's very tired.”
“The task he was working on was heavier than the others, besides that his teleportation magic consumed a lot of his energy every time it was used. You could say that he works harder.”
“Daughter, didn't you warn her?”
“You know him, even though I warned him if it had anything to do with me he would ignore it.”
“Hmmm, true also.”
“Oh yes, how is the current state of the battlefield?”
“Still stable, no movement from Leiava, most likely the message sent by Ari was indeed correct.”
“Order?”
“Yes, he sent a message through the pigeon if Leiava could not be attacked at this time and should not approach or attack him now because it is the same as giving up life for free.”
“So.”
“To be honest, I don't know what he's thinking.”
“Didn't you read Ari's mind often.”
“True thought, I can't read it. What he thinks and also what he really worries about.”
“She worries something?”
“All I can think of is that he's worried about you, but on the other hand I don't know what he's really thinking. I've already said this to him, he's a mysterious person.”
“I think he's different from that. Maybe because of some things he hid his nature but when he was with me somehow he was always open and honest with his own feelings.”
“I'm so envious of you princess. In addition to his focused attitude and unfunny jokes I never saw anything else from him. You are a special person.”
“So.”
“You however, Iona is a special person for me.”
“Ari, you're up.”
“I can't sleep if I feel the great magic issued by the human alliance.”
“Eh? Big magic?”
“Lucy, you've told them not to attack Leiava's place before he rises’.”
“Iya, I've said it clearly.”
“Haaa, it seems like there are still people who want to look for face in situations like this. I'm still tired, I can't use much magic right now. Lucy, get in touch.”
“Iya.”
Ari touches the hands of Prince Lucy. “Location, where the royal alliance is.” After saying that prince Lucy disappeared but Ari still sleeps on my lap.
“Ari, what is it?”
“Single transfer, it takes a lot of effort compared to doing regular teleportation, and also it is more difficult. Chances are if wrong, he will appear not far from the place I already mentioned.”
“So.”
“Haaa, for not wanting to leave this sensation I am so tired now.”
I stroked his head. “Then you can sleep now.”
“Thanks.”
The burden borne by him, I don't know how much but if I can I want to help to lighten the burden.
I kissed her. “Ari, I love you.”
