Chapter 54: Hero (Yuusha) Vs Dragon, Part One
Zect's POV
The communication crystal glows... this is a direct message from the Holy Land.
Since Ceres left, things have been bad... So, we asked them to bring him back.
But that failed... and the Holy Church decided to act directly.
Maybe... this is the message.
"Yes!"
"Zect-dono, there's a 'request' from Pope Romalis."
A request... isn't it about Ceres?
Well, the Hero (Yuusha) is considered a messenger of the goddess, so although it's a 'request,' this is an 'order' that cannot be refused.
"Archbishop Roanne... a request? Of course, I would never refuse a 'request' of the Pope... please tell me what it is."
"I'm glad you asked."
No way...
Archbishop Roanne says many dragons are coming up behind us.
He said we shouldn't just let them pass... we should slay them.
In short, like that.
"Why is this happening? We've never heard of dragons moving in mass before... what's going on?"
"There are reports that Ceres-dono, the Hero (Eiyuu) of the kingdom, has hunted many dragons... Well, this is just a rumor, but the dragons were scared of him... They ran away... But as a result, something like this is happening... well, it's a speculation. Still, that's what they're saying."
Even if it is Ceres... there's no way.
Sure, he's incredible, and he has hunted dragons before. But dragons are afraid of him?
There's no such thing.
"Sure, Ceres is a great guy... but that's no way."
"'Certainly dragons are afraid of him' is most likely a lie... but Ceres-dono has hunted many dragons... This is a fact, and the dragons are active... Now, the dragons are coming from behind you, and they are moving toward Bushya, the major town, and if you do not stop or divert them, the people of that town will die... We wish you the best of luck."
Are you kidding me...
I thought that if I braved it out... something would change.
And now, the Lord met me immediately because I was the Hero (Yuusha). But...
"Zect-dono the Hero, Mel-dono the Sage, I understand your situation... I will lend you as many knights and commoners as you want... how many knights do you need? Should they carry swords or spears? How many men? What's the plan?"
I don't know what he's talking about.
"Mel... you're in charge."
Mel's face turned blue.
"Uh, 30,000 knights? And spears..."
The Lord's face turned dejected.
"Huff~ Even though it's a major town, it's not a royal capital... we even don't have a hundred knights... Even if we gather all our troops and mobilize adventurers, we'll only have about 5,000 at most... Maybe Zect-dono and the others... you don't have any experience in command?"
Yes... In fact, I've never done anything like that.
Ceres once told me to read the 'book'...
He told me to learn about strategy, of course, but also about manners and stuff... but I didn't do it.
Now, since there was no one among us who could command.
Count Bouyan was in charge of the Knights.
Bishop Amir, who holds the title of holy knight, was in charge of the church troop.
And Bran, the guild master, was in command of the adventurers.
We were assigned to take the lead in reducing the dragons' numbers before they could fight.
* * *
"Zect, it's impossible... Let's fight with the others."
"Lida, we can't give up our position in the front line."
""Zect!""
In the distance, a cloud of dust rose from the sky.
The rampaging dragons are coming into view.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
