of my ability because I can be assigned as a guard of the royal castle in the royal capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maa, that’s all of us soldiers guarding the royal castle can boast, not just me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside our working hours, we are talking about who’s stronger than who, who’s losing to who, and who wants to fight with who.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of us dare challenge the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because we all know that the captain is definitely stronger than us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, even in our training hours, no one would challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That captain gathered us with a blue face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, anyone could tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something bad happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain waited for a full minute before talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can we resign??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t it a little too late to quit now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard that if you quit now, you won’t be allowed to do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, we have yet to pay our salary loan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The captain gave us a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, we can’t quit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I decided to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m sure the others feel the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, we all have the same opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will be our representative and tell the captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Captain, we would like to apply for a leave.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a tyrannical workplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We resisted but the captain continued to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the important part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「On the east side of the royal capital, there’s a sign of stampede.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they are not people who are rushing to a sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a large-scale movement of monsters and demon beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maa, a stampede is not uncommon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon king’s kingdom is vast so one occurs somewhere every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, like what I’ve been saying, we are guards of the royal castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have to do something when a stampede of monsters and demon beasts occurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have to be there……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there’s a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for that stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most monsters and demon beasts have territories and they rarely come out of that territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large-scale migration means they have abandoned their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, they are in a situation where they have to run away and abandon their territories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are a lot of reasons for them to do that but there can be categorized to only two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Food shortages and threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running away because of food shortage is a threat to ordinary citizens but it’s not enough to scare us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem is the “threat”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more monsters and demon beasts abandon their previous territories, the more powerful the monster or demon beast has appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the subjugation of that powerful monster or demon beast will be our mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it’s tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be food shortage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s what we hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the stampede happened on the east side of the royal capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the east side of the royal capital, there is a certain area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A den of evil monsters and demon beasts that monsters and demon beasts in all other places around the world seem to be children’s toys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest where no lifeform should go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it is a good thing that steep mountains are preventing the invasion from the forest of death and there’s no record of any monsters or demon beasts crossing the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a certain record. It was when this area, including the royal capital, was still part of a human country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that a giant snake crossed the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human country suffered severe damage caused by the giant snake and was destroyed by the offensive of the demon king’s kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this stampede, I don’t think that the demon king’s kingdom will be destroyed but I’m worried about what the human countries will do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Don’t think too much. There’s only a sign of a stampede. For the time being, including our corps, there will be twenty others that will investigate.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did you ask the adventurers for help?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Already have. Also, it seems that demon king-sama will move himself.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon king-sama?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would he do something so dangerous?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It seems like he wants to show off to his wife and daughter.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, ye-yeah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Then, let’s start the mission! Form a group of six! If anything happens, make sure one of you will come back alive!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least say all six must return alive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The east side of the royal capital is not the mountain range yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a vast forest there before the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this forest, there are some small forts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are forts that will raise an alarm if an enemy passes through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the ones who reported about the sign of stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we arrived at the fort and heard what’s happening, it was no longer a sign of a stampede, it was certain that there’s a stampede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it has come to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have a bad feeling about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, we can’t abandon our duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We should do our best to look for the cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How about the possibility of food shortage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s no longer the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the monsters and demon beasts that we defeated when we were traveling towards the fort are normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no sign of hunger in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means there’s no possibility of food shortage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has been ten days since we went out of the fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We finally found the cause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the situation, it looks like it’s not the worst-case scenario…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We found an inferno wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no way we can win against it but looking at the power of the whole kingdom, we can do something about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, how much damage will we get to suppress it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I talked to the other members about what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a rule, half will remain to watch over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half will report back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are we going to decide by draw lots?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Draw lots? Have you heard about it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hnn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You mean the heaven-defying draw lots luck of demon king-sama?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「That’s not it. What I’m talking about is the rumor that an inferno wolf has come out in the royal capital.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, I heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it’s actually a deadly wolf, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「According to the report, however……the knights say that they are certain that it is an inferno wolf.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was the case, there should have been a stampede around the royal capital, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「There was.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yeah, but only on a small scale. It seems like demon king-sama defeated it in no time.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of our demon king-sama.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Demon king-sama is in front of the inferno wolf.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, it’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did he arrive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they going to fight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t look like it. Demon king-sama opened his arms as if welcoming the inferno wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ooohhhh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does demon king-sama have enough charisma to make the inferno wolf his follower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or so I thought.
