The Devil of the Rhine in a "safer" world (SOTTE x RTW)

Chapter 19

In Roland's office

Carter: Don't do it, your highness! Please let me perform the duties of the chief Knight and Guard you by your side! 

Axe: Please also let me lead a team of about 100 people to escort you to safety!

Barov: Your highness, the decree issued by the city hall can only take effect after being reviwed and stamped by the lord! It's better for you to stay in border town. 

Roland: Alright, alright. This is the lord's order. During the two days that where I'll be away, you have to perform your duties and manage Border town for me. 

Barov: Why is it so important that you have to got there in person? 

Roland: This matter is about the survival of the Western territory and even the kingdom of Greycastle. Only I can make the best judgemnt. The only way to do that, is for me to go there. 

Carter: But, can't you tell us the specific reason? 

Axe and Barov: Right! 

Roland: Not yet, but you will know one day. Also, this trip is under secret operation, you must not disclose this information to anyone. 

The three get shocked 

Roland said this because he didn't wanted people to flee away just to feel safer, destroying everything Roland is making

A week later 

Roland:*while the ballon is taking off* So that will be it. I'm leaving this town in your hands! I will return in two days! 

For the next 24 hours they fly until the sunset, then stopping to sleep and after that they went back to flying

Soon after they finally reached the demons camp and they can see the miles and miles of red mist

Sylvie then activates her ability

Roland: Sylvie. Find anything? 

Syvie: No, the distance is too far. It's beyond the observation of my eyes. 

Roland: Okay, let's get closer after Soraya draws the scene here. 

Soraya: Yes, your highness. 

While Soraya was drawing the scenery, Roland was checking their capabilities while also thinking about building a port and shipsn to actually get commerce on Border town

Sylvie: More than ten miles from the sea, qnd covered by the red, red mist, there seems to be a building out of black stones. It's triangular, shaped like a dog's mouth. 

Wendy: Just like the mirage seen in the wilderness! This is indeed the territory of the demons! 

Soraya then talks how these towers seem smaller than the ones from the mirage theorizing that it might be a village

Sylvie then see's that some towers were filled with a liquid while most where empty

Then she see's a bunch of red eyes surrounding her and Roland notices her pale face 

Roland: Sylvie! 

Sylvie: Let's go! The demons have spotted us! They are in action! 

Tanya and Viktoriya with this get ready for a battle

Roland: Action? 

Syvie: It turns out that they are all burried underground, only the tubes on their backs are exposed! One of them is flying towards us! 

Roland: Wendy, retreat at full speed! 

Wendy: Yes! 

Roland: Let Lightning and Maggie come back quick!
