Chapter 177: I’m moving it
They should have arrived in the wasteland right about now, I think. Theyre probably quite surprised. After all, the city that should have been there is nowhere to be seen.
*zugogogogogogo*
AhmLuke-samamy eyes arent fooling me, are they? I think Im seeing the city move?
Yup, its moving. Or I guess I should say that Im moving it.
Wait, wait, wait, what!? Cities dont usually move, you know!? Why are talking like its the most natural thing in the world!?
Yes, at the moment, I was moving the entire village through the Reposition village skill.
Just what youd expect from Luke-sama.
I dont think this is to be expected of anyone, even Luke-sama
Ha, hahayou always so easily exceed my expectations
Shouldnt you be a bit more surprised than that!?
The princess was panicking like that, but everyone else was rather calm. After all, me moving buildings around has become a common occurrence in the village. Even moving the entire village has happened once before.
But this is the first time Ive moved the village this far.
Ahmso, does that mean we can escape without fighting?
Maybe, but thats not why Im doing this, your highness. Im moving the village so that we can win with as little damage as possible.
We could probably run until my father gives up, but I felt bad for his soldiers who were just following his orders.
A moving destinationthe advancing enemy soldiers sure have it rough
I dont even want to think about it, dear sister.
C-certainly, if we do it like this, the enemy soldiers would lose a lot of morale and staminawhere do we stop though?
The plan was for us to move west of the wasteland first, and then after it was certain that we would not bump into the enemy army who was headed north, we would head south.
Most of the places we would be passing through werent part of what my Gift considered as my village and I would have to use the Territory Takeover village skill to make it so. In fact, considering our destination, I might end up incorporating places all the way to the southern tip of the kingdom.
And then, after a few days of moving southward
Is thatis that really the royal capital?
Off in the distance, I could see walls that were comparable to the ones in the Albert territorys capital.
though not to our villages walls.
Yup, it is, your highness.
I didnt think Id be back here so soonbut wouldnt it be occupied by the Albert army right now?
And thats why we have to take it back first.
come again?
My name is Neon.
I am one of the four generals who support Edel Albert-sama.
As a strategist, I had guided our side to victory in many battle fields. In consideration of my talents, I have been assigned another important task: to command the Albert army occupying the royal capital in the absence of Edel-sama.
Many parties naturally werent fond of us, but even so, I must maintain the current state of things using the limited number of troops I had.
Keeping track of every move of the royal family and the court nobles was no easy task, but thankfully, nothing major has happened thus far. There have been small attempts to oust us, but we had immediately quelled such attempts. We even managed to arrest some nobles before they had set their attempts into motion.
In order to live up to Edel-samas expectations of me, I planned to keep the royal capital under control no matter what.
N-Neon-sama!
What is it? Another rebellion?
A flustered soldier rushed in, but in contrast, I was perfectly calm. As a commander, no matter how dire the situation might be, always looking calm was required.
C-city!
In the city? Then, dispatch
No, an unknown city is moving toward the royal capital!
Ha?
This was probably the most surprised I have been in my entire life.
When I looked from the tallest tower in the royal palace, there it really was.
A citya city with walls more impressive than the royal capitalsis truly approaching at great speeds
T-that city also matches the city that Edel-sama was headed to!
You mean to tell me that city moved all the way from the wasteland in the north of the Albert territory?
H-how in the world
