Pabat-.
With a fast pace, Russell’s new model ran on the well-maintained road as if it were a gale.
I wanted to use flight magic and enter the palace at once.
However, unless there was a special case, using flying magic instead of roads within the royal capital was strictly prohibited.
It was already close to lunch time, so many people were out on the road, but they didn’t mind.
Russell’s visual acuity and reactions were already far outside the scope of a criminal.
Even though it moves like a gale, it moves with light steps, crossing people and even dodging a carriage that was running towards it.
It was an application of the method of movement called footwork included in La Mancha.
Pabat-.
Every time he kicked his feet, the surrounding scenery began to move at a rapid pace, and as soon as the royal palace appeared in the distance, Russell’s eyes sank deeply.
It was because of what was written in the emergency edict.
Although the details of the story were not written, it was easy to guess from the content alone that it was a matter of competing for power.
‘Not only the wizards of Tower Master level or higher currently existing in the capital, but also Master level Auror trainees will enter the palace conference room as soon as they receive the message.’
Master level literally refers to Auror practitioners who can be compared to top level mage.
But to summon not just one or two, but all of them currently in the capital.
In fact, it would be no exaggeration to say that a quasi-war situation occurred.
‘What on earth is going on…? … .’
As I got closer to the royal palace, I also noticed other wizards gathering one after another.
All of their faces looked serious, as if they had received a message in a hurry just like him.
It wasn’t just wizards.
Clap, clap, clap.
With a harsh clanging sound, Auror trainees, each wearing unique armor, also appeared.
Their number is about a dozen.
In fact, about one-fifth of the powerful tower lords and masters who have enemies in the Kingdom of Endymion have gathered here.
With power of this scale… … .
‘Not only will it be possible to face a superhuman-level force, but it will also be able to destroy at least a small kingdom within ten days… … .’
If high-ranking officials from nearby countries had seen it, they would have been horrified and had a fit of diplomatic disrespect.
Russell passed through the main gate of the royal palace, saying hello to the familiar faces among them.
I headed to the conference room at a quick pace.
‘Considering that even though so many people have gathered, you can’t see Master, the Window Master, or anyone else… … .’
Perhaps it was right to assume that they were already inside the conference room.
As Russell expected, there were a total of five men and women sitting at the head table in the conference room they arrived at.
Their true identities were the tower owners of the four major magic towers of the royal capital, represented by red, blue, white, and yellow, and the weapon master who protected the royal capital, Gillian Pulson.
Sensing that the atmosphere around the house was unusual, Russell sat down in his assigned seat.
To Russell’s left and right were Vermilion and Hubert with stern expressions.
It seems that, except for the four tower owners, the other wizards were divided into positions according to their respective magic towers.
Among them, the number of flame towers was the largest, but they were not the type to show off with such things, nor were they in the mood to do so.
In this way, the conference hall was filled one by one, and soon, key figures from each ministry also appeared one after another.
The chamberlain’s voice was heard.
“Your Majesty the King is entering!”
Chuck, Chuck.
Those who were sitting at that shout all stood up from their seats.
Then, the king, Alfonso Latmos, who appeared half a breath later, raised his hand.
He lightly waved his palm with a serious face.
“As the situation is dire, I will omit unnecessary rituals. “Everyone take a seat.”
“yes. your majesty-!”
Everyone who had risen from their seats sat down, and then the King looked at the four magic tower lords and Gillian Pearlson and spoke.
“There may be some who already knew, but for those who don’t know the situation, I will call those who will tell me about the situation again.”
‘Are you going to tell me the situation?’
Russell tilted his head at those words. In most cases, the king spoke directly or gave briefings through the mouth of his officials… … .
It seems that this case had a special angle.
“Tell them to lift up!”
As soon as the king’s voice rang out, two signs began to be felt outside the conference room.
At that sight, the expressions of the powerful people gathered there changed slightly.
The presence felt outside was not of great power.
However, he was a bit unusual to be called an ordinary human being.
‘This presence… … ?’
Both were signs Russell had experienced more than once.
Before long, one of the conference room doors opened and two figures appeared.
“Azlan, the first guardian of the Blue Wisteria tribe, greets once again the master of Endymion.”
Immaculate skin that looks like it was carved from ivory and the ultimate beauty. In addition, he was a man with blond eyes and long ears.
Next, Inyoung, whose appearance was in complete contrast to him, opened her mouth.
“Sniff. Mathers of the Underworld will greet the King of Endymion.”
Starting with the characteristic of snorting every time he speaks, he has a stocky body and arms and calves that are similar in circumference to the waist of an adult.
Although they clearly looked a little tired and tired, the unique characteristics of the two races were easily recognizable.
“Please forgive us both for our ignorance of human etiquette.”

The appearance of the two figures spreads excitement throughout the conference room.
“Elf?”
“Are you saying that an elf and a dwarf visited the home country together?”
Some of them even made guesses that were close to the truth based on only the fragmentary information revealed so far.
“If it’s the Underworld and the Great Forest, aren’t they both in the southwestern part of the kingdom?”
“Could it be that something is happening in the southwestern part of the kingdom…” … .”
The king raised his fingertips in response to the murmurs coming from everywhere.
While waiting for the people who were each saying a word to silence their mouths, the King pursed his lips.
“I completely understand that you are tired and exhausted. However, given the situation, can you repeat the story I heard earlier?”
“yes. “Master of Endymion.”
The man who introduced himself as Azlan raised his head.
“As the first guardian of the Blue Wisteria tribe and the representative of all fairy tribes in the Great Forest, I dare to ask the Lord of Endymion.”
He looked around the crowd with earnest eyes and said.
“Please help the great forest that is in danger.”
The dwarf, Mathers, added next.
“I also ask this on behalf of all the dwarves in the Underworld. Please help Underworld and Red Canyon.”
* * *
After briefly explaining the conclusion and then summarizing the main topic, the situation was simple.
The monsters that suddenly multiplied formed an army and attacked the surrounding area at random, and the fairies, including elves, were pushed out of the great forest by their numbers.
Not only that, but the guys who came out of the great forest were running around the red canyon where the Underworld is located.
‘Is that why the elves and dwarves requested support at the same time?’
The problem was the number of monsters.
Just how many monsters exist that not only all the fairies in the Great Forest but also the dwarves in the Underworld are requesting support from Endymion?
The King, Alfonso Ratmos, also asked as if he was curious about that fact.
“If you can call it an army, the number of monsters must be quite large. Can you give me information on how big it is?”
“Of course.”
The dwarf nodded and opened subspace.
It seemed like he possessed an artifact to use subspace.
What was taken out through that subspace was a large box made of iron with a round, transparent glass attached to it.
“It’s a projector that was newly developed in our Underworld not long ago. If you turn it like this… … .”
Hahahaha!
As soon as the light emitted from the glass illuminated one wall, several images came to mind.
“… … “You can project the recorded image more clearly than any other picture.”
A sight that seems to have used image framing magic. It was amazing technology, but there was no time to pay attention to it.
That’s why the image projected on the wall was so shocking.
“her-!”
“It’s not even a c*ckroach, there are so many monsters!”
The number of monsters shown in each image alone appears to be well over a thousand.
Even taking into account that all the images were taken in different areas -!
“It’s probably tens of thousands or more… … .”
The King’s murmur.
The atmosphere in the audience became quiet, as if cold water had been poured on them.
With that number, it was understandable that the elves and dwarves would be pushed out.
No, if time passes, even the Underworld will escape and even Endymion’s border will be threatened.
“We need to build a punitive force right now!”
“We must issue a subjugation order to the margraves of the southwest and conscript soldiers!”
“If we send wizards and knights above a certain level to the warp gate to provide support… … !!”
As if aware of the urgency of the situation, officials large and small come up with their own solutions.
Meanwhile, Russell carefully raised his hand.
“If you have any opinions, please tell me. Count Raymond.”
After receiving the king’s permission, Russell, who received everyone’s attention, opened his mouth.
“Sending a punitive force is a natural thing to do, but I think there’s one more thing to think about.”
It was Russell, who had enjoyed an extremely high reputation in recent years.
There was no idiot here who would ignore his opinion just because he was young.
“That’s something to think about. Raymond White Porcelain. What is that… … .”
Likewise, Daria and Hemingway, who read similar things, glared at the image on the projector with cold eyes and scolded their minds.
“surely… … .”
“Do you want to point out that the number of monsters is greater than you can imagine? “Are you the youngest?”
“yes. “Master.”
Some major and minor priests looked at the conversation between the two priests, saying it was difficult to understand.
That was because it was something that could be known just by looking at the image on the projector.
But this is something to think about.
For a moment, a commotion spread among the wizards.
“Certainly, as Lord Russell said.”
“Even if we gather all the monsters that exist in the forest, I wonder if we will be able to get that number… … .”
“Unless there is a being that continuously spews out demons like a flower pot… … .”
Next, Hwangtapju and Baektapju added a word each.
“The monster’s servant is also annoying.”
“huh. This, this, this, that. And this too… … .”
Rays of light flowed from the White Tower’s fingertips and lightly tapped various parts of the projector.
Like Daria, she recited in a clear voice that did not show any of her usual drowsiness.
“… … These guys are monsters that became extinct a long time ago in the southwestern part of the kingdom. But why are so many people gathered in a place that is not their habitat?”
“-ah!!”
Those who realized that something was wrong only then belatedly sighed.
Then, he looked at Russell, who first spoke, and quietly expressed his admiration.
‘Hmm, that’s great insight… … .’
‘As expected, being the best talent in the kingdom wasn’t just a false reputation!’
Looking back at their admiring gazes, Russell glared at the image projected by the projector.
‘Why, such a big incident at this time-.’
This happened about three months after Russell’s return to regression ended.
‘It would have been nice if I knew the future and the cause… … .’
There is nothing you can do about the torrent of an era that you are not aware of.
Russell shook his head before his regret turned into a shallow demon.
‘But it doesn’t matter.’
I shook away the distracting thoughts.
I was just lucky enough to have the opportunity to go back in time.
Many people were living facing a future they did not know about, and that was natural.
Russell clenched his fists, as if resolving to face the coming future.
One act is over.
It was a major event that occurred at a time when Russell’s life was entering a different stage from before.
