Mel and Nez's eyes were so gentle that Meredith felt quite embarrassed.
Meredith felt a little restless, but she couldn't ignore the reality, so she asked nervously:
"But is this okay? We're still not sure if everyone in the Republic will agree..."
"They will agree, because the purpose of spending this time together is to gain their approval."
"To gain their approval..."
"One of the people I address by a nickname now protects the warriors against the Church's greatest might, while the other is known as the Holy Maiden of Healing, beloved by the people no less than I am. Natsu also seems to have developed a deep friendship with the guards. Perhaps the fact that we both serve the troublesome Queen has given you a strong sense of empathy, right?"
"So, you've already planned this..."
Gaining the understanding of the entire population was certainly difficult, but Meredith and the others not only enjoyed the trust of government officials but also the confidence of the Queen's absolutist guards. So the people couldn't simply reject them because they were human. At the very least, there should have been a significant change in sentiment.
Lutilis said this with a smile on her face, taking a graceful sip of tea.
"Ahahaha... no matter how bad it gets, you're still the Queen."
Just as Mei'er said, this "Queen" is truly shrewd and capable.
"Rotten? ...Rotten Queen... I'm the Queen... Ugh!"
Oops? Something seems to be wrong with the clever and capable Queen...
"Wait a minute! Maintain the serious atmosphere for a little longer!"
"Uh~ Queen Lutilis Hartrina, thank you sincerely for your wise decision! Liberators leader Meredith Raison will obey your majesty's orders—thank you very much."
"I should thank you. You've brought a new trend to the Deep Sea of Trees. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
After they finished speaking, they stood up, with gentle smiles on their faces, and held each other's hands tightly.
The hand we held hasn't been let go yet...
"Well, now that we've become closer, Mimi, I'd like you to tell me, what is your relationship with Mr. Oscar actually?!"
"Back to that topic again!? No, we're just ordinary companions! That's all!"
"That's what I said, but what's the reality?"
"Nothing!"
The solemn atmosphere faded, and her usual (?) self returned. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she chatted with her friends about romantic gossip for the first time.
Although Meredith cried and tried to wave for help from Mel, Lutilis's grip was surprisingly strong, and Meredith's hand was firmly grasped, unable to escape. For some reason, perverted abilities always seemed to be particularly superior.
"Ryu, Mi-chan doesn't want to talk, right?...Hold on tighter."
"Sister Mei!?"
“Yes! Onee-sama!”
"You're so obedient! Xiaoliu is an idiot!"
"As the queen, I'm being called an idiot... Hehe."
In this state, Lutilis was invincible. No matter what was done to her, she could transform it all into joy and pleasure.
"Xiao Nai~"
"...Hey, Ryu, don't just talk about others, what about you?"
The brave Natsu tried his best to help. "Me?" Lutilis tilted her head in confusion.
"Whether in terms of status or ability, your next generation of children should be highly anticipated, right?"
"That's right! That's right, Xiao Liu! I was just wondering, you were probably arranged to go on a blind date, right? After all, even that stern-minded Ross Byrne, who probably really thinks 'life is boring', is married and has children!"
Routh was also shot while lying down, perhaps sneezing in the street.
But putting that aside for now, Lutilis smiled weakly at the question.
"Pasha certainly helped me find someone who would accept the 'real me'."
"Ohh! And then what?"
As expected, Mireidi is also a girl and is very interested in other people's love.
"Have you forgotten how many people in this country know my true identity?"
There were only the Pasha and some of the maids, so the answer was self-evident. I tried every possible way to find someone in the country, but I couldn't find anyone who might accept me...
Uwaaa~ The expressions of Miledi and others froze.
Lutilis's eyes suddenly caught Mei'er's, and her cheeks flushed.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, why are you blushing when you see me?"
"...Onee-sama, I believe that as long as there is love, gender doesn't matter."
Mei'er ran away.
“Ah, where are you going!? Onee-sama! Wait for me!”
After that, Lutilis chased after him at a terrifying speed. In addition, the black army led by Xiao Wo also rushed to the front of the enemy.
By the spring pool—a gust of wind blew past.
"Hey, Xiaonai, do you think Bart can accept Xiaoliu?"
"Does that guy have a sadistic streak?"
"no."
"That won't do."
"I think so... But if he knew his sweetheart was looking for someone of the same sex... he might lose control."
“…Keep going, Chief.”
Meredy's shoulders drooped wearily... and then her expression changed, becoming stern.
"...The Divine Kingdom should have realized that as long as we are here, they will be unable to conquer us."
"Yes, without a doubt, I definitely understand."
"Then it might be coming out soon."
“…That guy?”
The church's trump card, "God's Apostle" Esther, flashed through their minds.
"The mist barrier is very powerful, a true fortress. But..."
"If the opponent is that girl, then I'd be uneasy. Because when she was in Antica, she could even transform into someone else, and no one could detect... But that's why I didn't go to the battlefield, and stayed by Ryu's side as a guard."
"Yes... Please, Naruto."
Miredi looked solemn as he recalled the battle in the Red Desert that had changed the terrain.
That battle... they lost. While Meredy and the others were drained of both magic and physical strength, the enemy, though battered and bruised, still had some strength left. Had they continued the fight, the outcome would have been obvious.
But for some reason, Esther retreated.
Indeed, it was the enemy who spared Meredith and the others. Therefore, for Meredith, surviving that battle was a victory, but also a defeat without an excuse.
"We have to protect Xiao Liu, and we can't let them do whatever they want to the Republic."
"yes."
"And that's—"
Natsu looked at Meredi. The leader was staring at the sky, his eyes like a spear piercing through the world.
Meredy gritted her teeth, completely losing her usual annoying attitude. She ignited her dominance, fighting spirit, and determination and said:
"I want to win this time. I want to prove that I, Meredith Lessen, can overthrow the authority of God."
She would not flee, nor would she let him go. The next time they fought, she would prove to the world who had the upper hand: Millardi Lessen or the "Apostle of God," the spokesperson for God's might.
After hearing Meredith's declaration, Natsu gently placed his hand on her thin shoulder, letting her know that she was not alone.
Then Natsu shifted his gaze to the south.
(Come quickly, Oscar, Bandu, the decisive battle is approaching.)
Natsu mentally called out to two reliable companions.
However──
In contrast to the vigilance and high morale of Miledi and his men, a strange atmosphere enveloped the battlefield the next day. The offensive of the Knights and the Federation Army slowed down, and for several days they engaged in brief battles before retreating with all their might.
The Kingdom of God and the Church cannot surrender, let alone give up.
So what exactly are they trying to do?
Although Natsu cannot leave Lutilis, he can create a "portal".
Therefore, one day half a month later, Meredith decided to take the risk and sneak into [Agris] again.
However, the venture was abandoned before it could be implemented.
──The entire remaining combat force of the federal army, a total of approximately 170,000 troops, launched a full-scale offensive.
This is an attack that does not consider the consequences and is prepared to destroy both parties.
They were extremely tired, and there was a crazy look in everyone's eyes.
Prequel 04 Chapter 4: The Essence of Meredith Lessen
That day, the battlefield was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Crazy shouts and screams could be heard everywhere. A large number of soldiers passed by like locusts, and the ground was shaking under the trampling of military boots.
"Damn it, you bastard!"
"Get out of my way!"
Bloodshot eyes, the soldiers of the Federation seized the orc warriors. Four soldiers from the Federation faced each one, exerting a brute force comparable to a fire scene, clinging to them with all their might. The soldiers of the Federation seemed insensitive to the pain. Even as blades pierced their bodies and their bones shattered, they continued to charge forward like zombies. Besides that—
"Wait! And with your companions too—"
Seeing the scene before them, the orc warriors grew anxious. They saw other soldiers from the Federation rushing towards them, spears in hand, roaring like wild beasts. And then, without hesitation—
“Guh!?”
“Are you crazy!? —Ouch!”
From all directions, pierce through the enemy, including their own people.
“God is with us!”
"The glory of martyrdom lies in this battle!"
Even though the federal soldiers were pierced by their own guns and their faces were covered in blood, they still had happy smiles on their faces.
The orc warriors shuddered, and although they still felt their devout faith, they also felt disgusted by it, and some even felt sad.
But at least they still had some human touch. Even though they had faith, they still feared death and still felt sadness and anger for their comrades who had been tragically killed in battle... At least they still had some human emotions. However...
(What’s going on… How could they be like this!? Are they still human?!)
As the orc warrior's consciousness gradually blurred, he saw the federal soldiers' ferocious expressions and wild laughter, and stabbed their dead comrades with their spears. The orc warrior couldn't help but shudder.
“Get out of the way!!”
Bart rushed forward and kicked the federal soldiers away with a flying kick like a battering ram. As he landed, he turned his scythe and swept the surrounding area, leaving a blue circle in the path of his strike.
Bart, the liberator, couldn't kill the federal soldiers, so he unleashed a magical blade that slashed at the magic within them. The federal soldiers, forced into a state of magic exhaustion, collapsed with their eyes rolled back.
Then, the orc warriors, who originally had only seconds left to live, saw a "hole" opened above them. The light of the morning glow shone through the hole, and the fatal wounds on their bodies immediately disappeared.
"Phew, we're saved! Master Bart!"
"Don't let your guard down! They're all fearless! Some are even willing to self-destruct! Treat them like death squads!"
Bart, who is always lazy, is now sweating profusely and has a bitter expression on his face.
"That Mei-er girl is also using all her strength! Even with Ryu's power, her magic won't last long!"
"I know, but these guys—"
Like uncontrollable horses, the federal soldiers rushed recklessly from the dense fog. Though the fog barrier remained intact, the enemy was too numerous and had no tactics. They simply raced through the dense fog, charging at the enemy whenever they saw them, a sheer desperate attack.
And it wasn't limited to the federal soldiers... Suddenly there was a deafening roar of thunder.
“Guh!?”
Balfe was sent flying, his blood splattering, adding a tragic color to the thick fog. He didn't take any protective action because he was unconscious.
