The road to the destination was quite smooth.

Of course, there were attacks by monsters once every three days, but because there were many talented people including Leo, we were able to defeat them without any damage.

After going for such a long time.

“You see it over there. That place is the hydra’s poison ground.”

Hanson pointed to a large forest in the distance.

A land of gloomy swamps and towering trees everywhere.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just looking at it conveys a sense of closeness, and in fact, all the creatures inside there were poisonous, regardless of animal or plant.

Hanson directed to the back.

“Everyone take a neutralizer!”

“all right!”

“Yes!!”

The reinforcements all opened potion bottles and drank them.

It was a poison neutralizer developed by alchemists.

Selize looked at the potion bottle and said.

“A neutralizer… , I don’t know exactly how this works.”

“I know.”

“You know?”

“It puts a fine barrier under the skin layer. It’s a barrier that only filters out poisonous poison, so it neutralizes the miasma that enters the body. One drink lasts roughly 24 hours.”

“It is very good.”

“On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. It’s a barrier that forms under the skin, so the senses are a little lost.”

Regardless of whether it is a wizard or a knight, the sense of mana, that is, the sense of stamina, is very important.

However, this neutralizer lowers the mood.

Even if the width is not large, it is inevitable that the ability is slightly reduced.

Celise finished drinking the neutralizer and slightly frowned.

“Your words are correct. little… It makes me feel uncomfortable.”

“right?”

“But you don’t eat me?”

“I’m okay.”

Leo shrugged.

It wouldn’t have known if it was legitimate to be covered with the hydra’s venom, but the venom from the venom wouldn’t even go unnoticed.

And the hydra’s venom is useless even if you drink such a neutralizer.

The Roman Kingdom reinforcements moved a little further and arrived at the Imperial Garrison.

“The scale is amazing.”

Commander Hanson stuck out his tongue.

The Empire requested support from all human nations, including the Kingdom of Rome.

With the birth of the new Vampire Lord, he did not know how the other 7 grand dukes would move, so it was to strengthen the borders of all border areas.

Hydra’s benefactor came to the Kingdom of Rome, and other regions were also taken over by several kingdoms one by one.

“If the size of the Imperial Army is this large, I think it would have been fine if they hadn’t bothered to ask for support from us.”

Wouldn’t the size of the reinforcements from all other kingdoms be similar to the size of the imperial army gathered here?

It was so great that I thought so.

“Empires want to cooperate with humans regardless of national power. You should come when the leader calls.”

“but. It is.”

Leo also nodded.

The reason why the Abyss couldn’t invade the human country was entirely because of the Juris Empire.

He was defeated by the heroes 300 years ago and signed a humiliating truce, but all the heroes died then.

On the other hand, the long-lived alien races still had generations that had gone through the war.

An armistice treaty is a magical treaty that affects the entire race if ignored, but even taking that into consideration, humans were likely to lose if they went to war.

That would be if there was no Julis Empire.

It was not for nothing that the empire was the leader of humans and governed a huge territory.

“Well. But lower.”

“Speak.”

“The size of the Imperial Army may not be good for us.”

“why?”

“Because they will ignore us.”

Hanson said with a worried face.

As a commander, he had no problems, but the problem was Leo.

Even if he is a genius, Leo is still a child who has not yet reached adulthood.

Last winter I was a bit taller, but I’m only 11 years old.

If such a Leo was the second-in-command, the Empire could have laughed at him without even realizing it.

“Besides, the person in charge of the Empire side is the Earl of Guillotine. As a 6th class mage, his skills are certain… , They said personality can’t keep up with skills. Perhaps you will be rude to me.”

“We are in a position to apply, but can we?”

“Of course, the odds are low. I just said it just in case.”

Hearing Hanson’s words, Leo shrugged.

“It’s fine. I don’t really care about the slightest insult.”

When I played games in modern times, I could hear various colorful pad-lips.

Why are there so many people who care about their parents’ safety?

Compared to that, it was nothing more than swearing in a noble way.

‘At that age, you have not only skills, but also a broad mind like a big person… !’

Hanson looked at Leo with an admiration look.

* * *

As for the results, Hanson’s worries were unfounded.

“Oh oh. This is Prince Leo.”

The Earl of Guillotine was a curly-looking man in his fifties.

In fact, it was said that his personality was not that good compared to his ability.

He tends to ignore those who are not wizards, and openly singles out those who are less skilled than himself.

However, he showed a sincere welcome to Leo.

“Welcome, low. I really wanted to see you!”

“… Nice to meet you, Count Guillotine. I didn’t expect the count to treat me like this.”

nobles of other countries. Since he was also a count of the Empire, Leo was also polite.

“Uh heh heh. Is that so? I had heard from Countess Hermery that she was short and cute, but now I see that she is not. He is much more devoted than his age.”

“… … .”

Leo’s expression slightly distorted.

Are you short and cute?

Still, I think I know why Count Guillotine likes him so much.

‘She must have said something nice about me.’

The meaning of ignoring wizards with lower skills than oneself was the same as the meaning of liking talented wizards.

And Countess Ermery is said to be the greatest genius the Empire has ever produced.

He was a next-generation imperial court mage who had risen to the 5th rank in his twenties.

If she had said something nice about Leo, it was understandable that Count Guillotine would react this way.

“What did she say about me?”

“He said that he was a genius who could not be compared to himself. At first I thought it was an exaggeration, but looking at it now, I don’t think it’s completely wrong.”

As soon as the Marquis Guillotine saw Leo, he was in a state of great surprise.

‘I’m sure he said he was 11 years old… .’

The appearance that does not look the age at all is not the problem.

Leo’s mana, restraint, and control over space.

In the eyes of Earl Guillotine, who was in the 6th rank, he could see Leo’s level at first glance.

It was disconcerting.

‘It’s a 4th grade. Oh God. Does that make sense?’

At the age of 11, he was only a first-class wizard.

He was over 30 when he reached the 4th rank.

However, this child with unreasonable talent was making even his own efforts ridiculous.

Count Guillotine clenched his fists.

“In my mind, I would like to take the lowly person somewhere and talk about magic all day long.”

His eyes were full of passion.

It was a pure desire to say one more word about magic.

‘There are people like this.’

Leo looked at Count Guillotine.

I had preconceived notions because of bad rumors, but seeing it in person was completely different.

Meeting someone who was jealous like the black magician Mtileth It was amazing to see such a person.

“Me too. I want to learn a lot from a high-level mage like the Count.”

“Be humble. When I was the age of low, I was arrogant that I knew how to handle a single mana particle, but it’s really comparable.”

As the Earl of Guillotine was excitedly discussing the past, Hanson interrupted.

“Nice to meet you, Count Guillotine. Viscount Hanson Vitio.”

“ah. You are the commander of this dispatch.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Come on. The Empire is extremely grateful for the help of the Roman Kingdom.”

The two shook hands lightly.

The atmosphere wasn’t bad.

At least the worst that Hanson expected didn’t happen.

At that time, a knight cautiously approached from behind and delivered a whisper.

Earl Guillotine nodded, looked at Leo, and then spoke in a regretful tone.

“Lowering. It’s time for the garrison meeting to take place soon. Somehow, you arrived at the right time. Would you like to join the meeting?”

Even so, what was regretful was that he wanted to put aside everything and talk with Leo.

“The commander is Sir Hanson, not me, so talk to him.”

At Leo’s words, Count Guillotine looked at Hanson with a strange gaze.

Seeing how Leo, the second-in-command and royalty, treated him well, he thought there was something special about him.

“Sir Hanson. Would you like to join the meeting?”

“I’d be happy if you called me.”

“Then come in.”

The two were escorted by Count Guillotine into the tent used as a meeting room.

On the way, Hanson slightly bowed his head in gratitude to Leo.

Leo smiled lightly.

‘I guess I can leave all the troublesome things to Hanson.’

A place where you can enjoy rights without too many responsibilities.

Leo was growing fonder of this position of second-in-command.

* * *

Within the conference room, there were mages of 5th rank or higher and knights of the graduate rank or higher.

All of them are commander-level strongmen.

However, the atmosphere in the meeting room was dominated by Count Guillotine.

Knights and wizards reported cautiously to Count Guillotine, flinching at each twitch of his eyebrows.

That alone gave an idea of what Count Guillotine was normally like.

Again, the kindness shown to Leo was exceptional.

The content of the meeting went as Leo knew.

“We have deployed troops in the direction of encircling the poisonous land of the Hydra.”

“I will wait with vigilance like this.”

No matter how much it is an empire, you can’t fight a different race first.

In order to be fully prepared, he received reinforcements and increased the number of vigilante troops, but it was best not to let anything happen.

If you wait quietly and the vampire side comes to negotiate, it will end with an appropriate agreement.

That was the future Leo knew.

‘While the two sides are in a war of nerves, I’ll sneak up and catch the Hydra.’

I think I can catch it if I use all the knowledge in my head.

And if you catch him, your experience will go up a lot.

It was a moment when I thought to myself and just watched the contents of the meeting.

-aaa!!

A loud alarm sounded throughout the garrison.

“… what?”

“Something happened outside.”

Each participant in the meeting raised tension.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just then, the tent opened and a soldier hurriedly ran.

“It’s an assault! A swarm of monsters are coming out of the poison land!”

“!”

“!!”
