Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 491

After the fierce battle was over, we headed straight through the battlefield and back to the narrow fortress with the flags of the Bardia family and the troop.

I was barely able to stand, apparently having put too much stress on my body, so Capella carried me on her back.

At first, my father offered to carry me on his back, but I declined, telling him that since we were heading for the narrow fortress amongst the foxmen warriors, I wanted him to be imposing in order to impress the Bardia family and Amon with their victory.

Father's expression was a little disappointed, though.

On the way, I activated my communication magic and confirmed various things with Salvia.

The first thing I confirmed was that Elba had told me that a detachment had attacked the Bardia family's main residence.

Even if Gareth and Elba were defeated, it would be meaningless if anything happened to Mother or Fara.

However, since Salvia had not contacted me urgently about the main house, I felt that everything must have been all right.

Still, my heart was beating fast with worry.

'Ah, that's the matter, isn't it? It is true that there was an attack by the fox people, but the defensive forces of the First Order and Fara-sama's escort forces such as Asuna-san and Jessica-san. In addition, reinforcements came from Renalute, so it didn't turn out to be a big deal. The warriors have already been captured and restrained.'

"I see. That's good."

I patted my chest in relief.

We had considered the possibility that the foxes might attack the book house now that we were gone.

I had also informed King Elias in advance that I wanted him to immediately arrange for reinforcements to protect Farrah.

Renalute was closer to Bardia than to the imperial capital.

King Elias is a trustworthy person to rely on to protect Fara and Mother, who we left behind at the main residence.

By the way, if we were to be breached, we thought it unlikely that the fox people would fight against the Renalute Kingdom army, so we also thought of it as an insurance policy.

If they were able to win, it would mean that their fears were unfounded.

"But why didn't you tell me right away?"

'That's the ...... fact, Fara-sama and Nanalee-sama had told me not to tell you so as not to burden everyone in the battlefield. It will be a tough battle, and a little impatience of mind will lead to danger. ......"

Salvia replied apologetically. But I also understand how your mother and Farah feel.

The decision not to contact them was probably made because it wasn't important to them.

In fact, if there had been a report in the middle of such a fierce battle, it is possible that it would have distracted people.

"I understand. I will talk to Fara and Mother about it when I get back to the residence."

"Thank you very much. I will inform them of your request."

"Yes, please. I'll tell them that. You engaged a tribe of birds of unknown origin, right?"

The air force of the second order of knights, including Aria, who had targeted the enemy general in the previous battle from the sky.

Without their efforts, we wouldn't have had enough time to surprise the enemy and decide who would win the battle.

Although we had renovated the narrow fort, we would not have been able to hold out this long if the large army had moved in a coordinated manner.

Since the time of the Bardia raid, Aria and her group had been trying not to show their fighting strength to the outside world as much as possible in order to be prepared for such an unexpected situation.

It is safe to say that the Grandeks had no ground-to-air capability in this battle, as far as we could see.

If anything, those who could use magic could create a barrage of magic bullets in the air where Aria and her family were likely to be.

This is not surprising since the threat of air-to-ground forces has not yet been recognized.

Still, it is possible that some countermeasures would have been taken if Aria and her team had been known in advance.

When I heard that the air force had engaged in battle with a tribe of birds of an unknown origin, my first suspicion was that Elba and his men had come as reinforcements.

However, I could not connect that with the fact that their surface-to-air capabilities were so poor.

I thought that it was probably a truly "unknown" opponent, and that it was unlikely to be reinforcements requested by Elba and his team from somewhere else.

But it could mean a 'new threat' after Elba.

"Don't worry. Aria and the entire air force are safe and sound. However, Aria seems to have an idea about the unit of unknown origin that was involved in the battle, and she would like to tell Mr. Rid directly after things calm down a little."

"Aria wants to tell me directly? I understand. I'll ask her about that when I get back to the territory."

Thank you very much. Then I will tell them that as well. Also, Master Rid. Is it all right for me to inform Emma-sama of the information as we discussed in advance?"

'Of course. I would rather you give her the highest priority."

"'Thank you very much. I'm going to tell Emma-sama about what happened at Fortress Between the Borders, so if you'll excuse me now."

"I'll leave you to it. Please give her my best regards."

After the communication with Salvia was over, Capella's voice was heard, " Master Rid, please take a look around, if you would like to."

'Yes?"

I looked up and looked around to see the warriors of the fox people dropping their weapons and saluting us.

"Amon-dono, who went to the previous battle, has gathered the chiefs of the various powerful tribes and has declared once again that he will be their tribal leader. They no longer have the will to fight."

"I see, so the war is really over. But why the salute?"

When I tilted my head, Capella's mouth relaxed into a smile.

I heard that Amon-sama told the warriors of the fox people that Lid-sama did not take a step back in front of "Elba Grandek" and also severed his left arm. Elba's overwhelming strength must have been a kind of attraction to them, and it must have been what attracted the warriors to him. Their salute to the Master Rid for defeating such a formidable foe ...... must have been a kind of awe at that."

"Awe, eh ...... ahaha?"

I became embarrassed and involuntarily scratched my cheek.

Amon didn't see the fight between Elba and me in person, but Rafa said she went back to the last battle first and talked to Amon.

She may have told him about Elba's condition.

By the way, Rafa threw the ice She generated herself into the sky, jumped on it quickly, and flew toward the front battle.

It is a secret that I thought I would try to imitate him next time.

With father in the lead and the warriors of the fox tribe watching over us, we proceeded on foot, and when the narrow fortress came into view, we heard the cheers of many knights.

Looking at the front of the fortress, I saw Knight Commander Dinas, Dark Elf Curtis, Stein, and Raymond standing in a row.

And in front of them, in addition to Amon and Rafa, are Lagarde and Noir.

There is also Alex the Dwarf and the children of the Foxmen who belong to the Second Order.

But what caught my attention more than anything else was the elf woman and the red-haired girl standing in front of everyone else.

The moment I saw them, I realized that my eyes were watering and tears were streaming down my cheeks.

"......⁉"

I tried to speak louder, but my nose was gagging and I couldn't speak properly.

I waved my hand loudly with Capella still on my back.

"......⁉ Brother!"

"Rid-sama!"

The two seemed to have noticed me and rushed toward me.

As they approached, Capella slowly lifted me off her back and stood me up.

I spread my arms out toward the girl running toward me.

"Mel!"

Brother ...... "

She jumped into my chest with all her might.

I almost fall over, but Capella and Diana support me.

Mel rubbed her face against my neck, tears streaming down her face and her voice trembling.

"I'm sorry, Niisama, I'm sorry. ...... I'm sorry."

"I'm so glad you're okay. I was really, really worried about you."

The elven woman came over to us as we patted Mel's sobbing head and patted her gently on the back.

Master Lydd ......."

Chris. I'm so glad you're okay too."

The woman's eyes became moist as she smiled at him.

"I heard that you made a great effort to save me and the other members of the trading company. Thank you very much. I am sorry for the trouble I have caused you."

"Haha, I don't feel annoyed at all. The fault lies with Gareth and Elba and the others who plotted against us. You and Mel don't need to worry about it."

I shook my head and added, "Oh, but .....".

"Mel. I'll give you a good lecture later for using the Cookie as a double."

Yeah,......, but I'm happy to be with you and the others even if it's a lecture."

"Yes,. I'm glad you're with us."

I was stroking Mel's head again as she rubbed her face against my cheek, when Rafa came over to me.

Rafa came over to me and said, "This is a very moving reunion. I couldn't help but cry.

"Rafa, thank you for keeping your promise to me. "

"I told you, didn't I? I am a woman who keeps the promises I make to the people I like."

The "promise" she was referring to was one of the negotiations we had made the day before.

When Rafa turned over to our side, the conditions included the safety and release of the kidnapped "Christie Trading Company members" in addition to "Mel" and "Chris".

If she fulfilled this condition, Amon and the Bardia family offered a kind of "plea bargain" according to the memories of my past life, in which Rafa Grandek would be exonerated of any wrongdoing.

Of course, I have a lot of thoughts about Rafa.

'Meldy, Chris.'

I heard an awed voice and turned to see my father with a somber look on his face.

"I'm glad you two are safe. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about, but we'll talk more about it when we get inside the fort. Okay?"

Mel pulled away from me, lightly adjusted her clothes, sniffed, and then awed.

"...... yes. Father."

"I'm sorry."

Chris bowed and Dad nodded his head, "Mm-hmm," and then he stepped toward the fort.

In truth, Father must have wanted to embrace Mel right here.

Because that's what it wrote on his back.

Amid the cheers of the knights of the fortress of Narrow Gap, we passed through the gates of the fort and returned to the Bardia territory.

When the battle was over, we succeeded in getting Mel and Chris back safely.

Amon was able to become the new tribal chief of the Fox People tribe.

There is still a lot of post-war procedures and problems to be dealt with, but we will be able to settle down a bit. ...... While I was thinking that, shortly after entering the fort, a meeting began to discuss future moves, and I blew a bubble.
