I Married the Beautiful Female Protagonist In Order To Survive - Chapter 1078
18. She is too cautious!
Of course, Letty would not refuse my ordinary request now. Impatient as she was, she quickly sent a squad of wolf cavalry from the Rosia Empire to me. If it weren’t for my concern that the situation might change, Letty would have stubbornly refused her in a “chaotic” manner; this little girl even thought about coming herself!
With the support of the wolf cavalry from the Rosia Empire, my identity could be concealed even more seamlessly, and Kefir could wear a hat, drape a white cloak, and blend in with the wolf cavalry to act alongside us. I also wouldn’t have to worry about an unexpected “death script” for the time being.
Thus, after several days of preparation, I arrived at the appointed time with Arthur. As agreed, I was to assist her in dealing with the incessant “monster harassment” in Northern Ireland.
At this time, outside the city.
After Arthur led the knights out of the city, she closed the city gates, cutting temporarily off all access in and out of Northern Ireland. While I found this somewhat strange, I didn’t have time to think about it.
After all…
In white robes, white armor, and on a white horse, Arthur’s appearance with the majority of the knights was enough to make me stare! Professor Moriarty told me: Arthur leads the “superficially strongest” knight order of the Great British Empire—the Conquest Knights. Even on campaign, this force maintains the image of the Great British Empire. Would they…really “seek independence”?
I shook my head, dismissing the thought. These questions couldn’t be asked now. Having come this far, I could only choose to help Arthur first; the rest…later. Whether it was the knights’ intentions; or their extremely cautious, almost panicky attitude towards the “monsters”; or…the strangeness about Arthur herself.
After all, the unfolding of certain scenarios is far more important to me.
From noble mtl dot com
“Chaos” is approaching.
This message alone was enough for me to put everything aside and focus on the present.
The next moment, Arthur, at the head, came before me. Her gaze swept over the Rosia wolf cavalry behind me, failing to notice Kefir, which was a relief.
“The Rosia Empire’s wolf cavalry are ranked according to the wolf’s coat color. These are all white wolves, the Rosia Emperor’s personal guard…you, are you Leidy’s rumored boyfriend?”
Rumored boyfriend my ass, how would I know Leidy was so high-profile.
Silence was the best disguise at this moment. I turned to look into the distance. In my eyes, in the far distance of the snowfield, a black mist seemed to be spreading, like the smoke from burnt paper. “Chaos,” seemed to have a certain physical form. As for my expression…
It was merely an act of being profound.
“As agreed, I’ve brought my men. So, Lord Arthur, what next?”
“Rest assured, I called you for ‘support,’ not to send you to your deaths.”
A slightly unsettling smile flickered across Arthur’s face, but her script was accurate at this moment, containing only the content of “wanting to eliminate the monsters.” As for those fully armed subordinates behind her, their scripts were all the same.
Although strange, I couldn’t find anything to make me suspicious. After all, this was the Great British Empire’s knight order, well-trained, unified in purpose, without any problems.
“Your task is simple: guard the city’s outskirts. Our Conquest Knights will go deep into the snowfield to carry out a sweep. That’s what we’ll say…but some monsters will inevitably slip through. What you Rosians need to do is clean up any remaining ‘monsters.’ This shouldn’t be too difficult for you, should it?”
【Arthur hopes Euclid will assist.】
The script appeared, and its contents didn’t seem false or strange.
Isn’t she going to tell me yet? To deal with a few scattered monsters, does she need such a large force? If there really is some incredible monster hidden in this vast snowy plain, and Arthur just doesn’t want to say, then she’s seriously underestimating the strength of the Rosians.
My first reaction was: Arthur is hiding the fact that she isn’t preparing to exterminate ordinary wolves and beasts, but something “stronger and more dangerous.” This monster might be the embodiment of “chaos,” so her proud self-esteem as a knight of the Great Ying Empire wouldn’t allow an “outsider” like me to interfere, so she casually assigned me a less demanding task.
However, even if I said this, Arthur wouldn’t admit it. If she were to say, “What can you even do?”, I, unable to reveal my identity, would just be left speechless. So, pretending not to know is the best option; I and Kefir can go later.
“No problem. I, using the name of the Rosian Empire, guarantee you that no ‘monsters’ will harass or harm the residents of Northern Ireland City.”
“Humph? I hear you Rosians are quick and efficient. Don’t disappoint me. All ‘monsters,’ anything that counts as a monster, can’t get close, understand?”
【Arthur hopes Euclid will slay the ‘monsters.’】
The script appeared again, reminding me. Although I don’t understand why, I have no reason to hesitate.
After I nodded, Arthur seemed to finally relieve some worry, nodded in satisfaction, and then…
turned back to her troops.
“The Rosian has solved our worries. You… have nothing to worry about now? Let’s go!”
Is… that the attitude one would have when dealing with “wolf and beast”-level monsters?
That’s what I was thinking. Forget about the fact that almost the entire knight order has set out, leaving only some administrative personnel in the city. Even if it was just Arthur alone, with her eighth-order strength, she would be enough to sweep the surrounding area. Then why did she…
In the end, I said nothing. I only directed the Rosian wolf cavalry to make way for Arthur and her subordinates, then watched their white figures gradually blend with the snow plain, disappearing into the distance.
For some reason, I suddenly felt an atmosphere of “sadness.” In my opinion, even if! Even if a super-fierce monster really appeared, someone like Arthur wouldn’t be so reckless as to lead her unit to their deaths. If she couldn’t handle it, she should ask the Great Ying Empire for help.
But now, she only says “ordinary monsters,” and only wants to solve it herself. What kind of situation could connect these two seemingly contradictory things and provide a reasonable explanation for Arthur’s inconsistent actions?
“What should we do next?”
Kefir appeared from behind me.
The frustrating thing is: I… can’t think of anything for a while.
“After Arthur’s team is completely gone, let’s slowly follow to see what’s going on.”
For now, this is the only way.
“Kephir, protect the Phiro you brought. If they’re just ordinary monsters, Lady’s wolf cavalry will deal with them in the end.”
