Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

Before he knew it, the sun, or Solus, was already hanging high above his head, which also represented the arrival of noon in the day.

Alice took out the bento, divided it between Eugeo and Kirito, and started feeding the tree.

In the same way, Eugeo also told Kirito the food first.

The two of them ate very slowly without sanity, but they just relied on muscle memory to chew and eat.

But both Alice and Eugeo were patient enough.

After feeding the two patients, the healthy two began to eat by themselves.

Then they sat like this until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the four of them went back as if they were strolling around like in the morning.

On the way, I met Selka Ziberuk, who happened to be looking for Alice, Alice's younger sister.

After some conversation, it turned out that the villagers asked Alice and Eugeo to help them deal with the trees encountered in reclaiming the wasteland.

Then the team changed from four people to five people, and the route was changed from going back to the cabin to going to the reclamation land.

Walking to the end of the forest, there is a large wheat field waiting to be harvested.

Behind the heavy ears of wheat swaying in the wind, the village of Rulid can be seen rising upwards.

In the center of the juxtaposed red brick buildings, there is a tall and protruding spire, which is the church where Selka lives.

Neither Selka nor Sister Azalia, who manages the church, knew that the Central Church, which governs the Axiom Church organization of the Four Empires of the Human World, is now a castle in the air without an owner.

However, the small church, which is also an orphanage, is still operating smoothly.

The disappearance of the High Priest did not throw the central sanctuary into great chaos, nor did it affect people's lives.

The Taboo Index is still in effect, continuing to fetter people's consciousness.

However, in the face of the dark realm that is about to move and start to invade, can these people really take up their swords and fight to protect the human world?

As long as orders are given in the name of the Axiom Church and the Emperor, they should obey them.But this alone is still unable to win the battle with the dark army.At least Knight Commander Bercouli had understood this unshakable fact.

At this moment, Alice's personality is already dominated by the personality of Alice Synthesis Satie.

While puffing out her chest, she endured the vigilant and uneasy gazes cast by the villagers standing in the wheat field, while whispering to her swordsmanship master in her heart.

——Uncle, for the people living in the human world, peace may not be something they protect, but something that is forever given.

——And what made them become like this must be... the Axiom Church, the Taboo Index, and us Integrity Knights.

At this time, Knight Commander Bercouli must be running around in the central capital Centoria for the training of the Four Empires and the manufacture of equipment.

Maybe the army has been moved to the border of the Istaballies Empire, which should be the largest battlefield, which is the [Eastern Gate].

Whether it's practical assistance or combat power after the start of the battle, the more knights to help, the better.

——But now I... Alice, lost in thought, walked through the wheat field and came to a large clearing field to the south of the village.

Stopping the wheelchair in front of the dug up black soil, I began to look at the vast land.

Just two years ago, there was a lush sea of ​​trees ahead of them that was bigger than the Eastern Forest where Alice and the others lived.

But as the owner of the forest, the towering [Devil Tree] Gigas Cedar, which towers into the sky and absorbs sacred power like a bottomless pit, has been cut down by Kirito and Eugeo, so now all the men in the village Desperately cultivating the farmland, Selka explained to Alice before.

At this moment, Eugeo looked at the area with nostalgia in his expression.

It seems that I can still see the brains of the four children on the grass...

Withdrawing his thoughts, Eugeo looked at Kirito and then at Zero, his expression a little gloomy.

In the middle of the clearing was a huge black tree stump, and at the southern end, a dozen villagers struggled to swing their axes.

In one corner, a man with a big belly could be seen. He didn't have an ax in his hand, but he was giving various instructions in a long-winded manner. He was the owner of the largest farm in the village, Naiguru Balbosa.

Although a little reluctant, Alice and Eugeo pushed the wheelchair into the well-trodden path.

The first to notice the group of people approaching here were young members of the Barbossa clan who were resting on the trunk of a tree that had just been felled.

The three of them, who were about fifteen or sixteen years old, looked at Alice and Eugeo who had hoods on their blond hair without hesitation, and then shifted their gazes to Zero and Kirito who were sitting in wheelchairs.

After whispering something to each other, they let out deep laughter.

After ignoring these people and passing directly in front of them, one of the young men shouted in a lazy voice: "Uncle~here we come~"

As a result, Naiguru Balbosa, who kept yelling with his hands on his hips, turned his head quickly, and a smile appeared on his plump round face.

With his big mouth and slender eyes, he reminds people a little of Elder Chudelkin.

But Alice managed to squeeze out a smile, and nodded slightly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Barbosa. I heard that you have business with us..."

"Whoa, whoa, Alice, Eugeo, you're here."

"Good afternoon, Uncle Barbosa." Eugeo greeted reluctantly. He had known this person since he was a child. Maybe the other party didn't remember, but he remembered that when he was young, Zero and Kirito, including himself and Alice , I really hate this man...

At this moment, the dignitary leaned forward with his round belly shaking and his arms open. He originally thought he would hug Alice in a vigilant posture. Fortunately, he seemed to have given up his thoughts when he saw the wheelchair in front of Alice.

Naiguru changed to stand fifty minutes to the right, then turned his huge body, and pointed to the big tree standing on the boundary line between the forest and the reclaimed land.

"You can see that tree. We've been chopping down that damned platinum oak since yesterday morning, but even with ten big men swinging axes we've only gotten so far."

He made a small semicircle with the index finger and thumb of his right hand.

The trunk radius should be a mel-and-a-half mel-and-a-half white-brown giant tree, its roots firmly gripping the ground, stubbornly resisting the reclamators.

At present, there are also two big men swinging huge axes alternately, but the depth of cutting into the tree trunk is probably less than the superficial limit.

The men who took off their shirts were already sweating profusely from their upper bodies.The muscles in the chest and arms are considered thick, but they should seldom hold an axe, so it can be seen that the movements are a bit stiff.

Under Alice's gaze, one of the big men's right foot slipped and slashed at other places obliquely.

The handle of the ax broke from the middle, and the man who fell to the ground was immediately ridiculed by his companions without hesitation.

"Really, what the hell is this idiot doing..." Barboza cursed under his breath.

Then he looked at Alice and Eugeo and said, "At this rate, it would take a few days just to cut down this tree. While we were wasting time here, Lidak and his group had already expanded Twenty square meters of land!"

As soon as he mentioned the rich peasants who were second only to the Barbossa family, Naiguru kicked away the pebbles at his feet.He was breathing heavily at first, but suddenly he smiled and said in a gentle voice:

"That's how things are. Although it was agreed to be once a month, Eugeo helped last time. This time I will ask Alice." He said, looking at Alice with a smile on his face.

After suppressing the sigh, Alice interrupted Naiguru.
