Fun Territory Defense Chapter 82 Part 1 (Patreon)

I Detest War

I was busy with preparations.

I was half desperate.

I had gone to the trouble of preparing the defense of my village, but I had no idea that I would be asked to leave the village and fight.

Then, I had to take on the challenge with a lineup that would be absolutely safe.

First of all, in order to protect the place to which we will return, we will leave Espada as acting lord, and villagers who are good with ballistas will also remain. And after that, the Espada Knights.

"Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"

"You can't be a lord if you're not as good as Espada."

When I said so, Espada looked at the faces of those standing around him in turn, then nodded deeply.

"I understand. It is Van-sama, after all."

He understood. It is Espada who is quintessential.

Now that the village was out of the way, the question was who I was going with.

"First of all, Dee and the others will take most of them as my knights."

"Ha!"

"Till and Camsin will be in danger..."

"I'll go! I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming!

I'm joining!"

"Oh, yes. I understand."

I lost to the pressure.

Well, I expected them to join me.

"Arte-sama is a visitor. I'll have her wait for me in the village."

"...I'll go with you!"

"Heh?"

I let out an unintentionally dumb voice. But for some reason, Arte has a very determined expression on her face.

"It's dangerous..."

"I'm prepared."

Unusually, Arte interrupted my words to clearly express her intentions. Besides, I exhale lightly and cross my arms.

"Then you'll be with me at all times, right?  Then I'll allow you to accompany me."

"Yes!"

Arte replied happily, and I let out a sigh with a wry smile. I let out a sigh and let the smiling looks fly from around me, but I let them pass.

However, it is true that Arte's presence would be a great help to us, and if we bring Arte's special puppet doll with us, it will surely be a strong shield.

I'll check the equipment and the knights in a large open space inside the village walls, with a large carriage lined up.

"...Is this how it's going to be?  You just became a baron, so don't tell me you don't have much strength, right?"

I ask, and Dee crosses her arms to confirm.

"It's more than enough if you know what's inside. No, I'm sure you'll be fine considering Van-sama's age in the first place."

Nodding appropriately at Dee's snarling words, adventurer Ortho, who had been watching from a distance, opened his mouth.

"Shall we accept the escort request?  I wouldn't normally be involved in a war, but I'd be willing to take on the job of escorting Van-sama."

I raised my hands in the air and cheered.

"Oh!  That's great!  Then let's call out to all the adventurers and see if any of them are willing to take the job!"

What a great idea. I didn't realize it was so easy to increase the number of people.

"By the way, Xsara-san will be forced to participate."

"You're treating me like that again?"

Xsara jumped up at my comment. No, no, no, what is he surprised about?

"My Order doesn't have professional scouts. We do have hunters, but I still think they are a little different from scouts."

Saying this, Xsara's mouth twitched in frustration.

"That's true, but... But since it's a request, I'd like you to confirm that you'll accept it."

"What?  But Xsara-san will be executed if he doesn't accept my request..."

"You're going to die?  I'll take it then!  Of course, I will!"
