Chapter 5: Side Chapter 1-The Front Lines

[General Deacon POV]

“General Deacon the heroes have finally arrived!”

 

My subordinate rushed into my tent shouting news that all the unified army has been waiting to hear.  Once he finally calmed down a bit more, I asked him to relay the information in more detail.

 

“Sir, the heroes have arrived along with reinforcements from the Celestia Kingdom.  They even sent the Princess Knight with them.”

 

“This is welcome news indeed.  I’ll head over to them to greet them and get them caught up on the current situation.  With their arrival we will finally be able to finish this and go home.”

 

Once I told my subordinate to go and take a rest, I left my tent to go meet the new arrivals.  When I found them, I got the feeling that our troubles were far rom over.  While most of the heroes looked ready and prepared for the battles ahead, there were a few who looked like they never trained at all.  I decided that my first action should be to find the Princess Knight and ask what her plan of action is.  When I found her, I called out to her.

 

“It’s good to see you again Princess Nia, I’m glad you could finally bring the heroes to the battlefield.”

 

“Yes, it’s good to see you as well, General Deacon, I hear its been rough out here on the front lines recently.”

 

“Indeed it has.  The fiends have been attacking more frequently and with more numbers.  We repelled a large horde a few hours ago so everyone is getting some rest.”

 

“I see, I apologize for our delay, but now that we are here, we can finally make the final push to the King of Fiends and end this.  I’ll go and tell my forces to go and join the lookouts to allow your men to get the rest they deserve.”

 

As she said this, she came closer and whispered to me,

“Later I will come to your tent.  There are some things I need to discuss with you and the other generals.”

 

“I understand, I will gather them and await your arrival.”

 

“Thank you, General Deacon.”

 

After thanking me she went to the place where her men were setting up camp.  I started walking back to my tent and called a few people to bring the message to the rest of the generals.  After 20 minutes of waiting the other generals arrived and I explained to them that the Princess Knight had something to discuss with us.  When she arrived, she asked the Demon and Elf generals to set up a soundproof barrier to keep what we were discussing from leaking out.

 

“I’m sorry for asking for all of this secrecy but it is extremely important that this information is kept from others.  Especially the Saint and Hero.”

 

“Are the Hero and Saint really that untrustworthy?”  Asked the Dwarf general.

 

“Yes, they are that untrustworthy.  Those two are the whole reason that it has taken us this long to get here in the first place.”

 

“Are they that afraid to head into battle?”  Asked the Elf general.

 

“No, they are in no way afraid to head into battle, it’s just that they don’t want to.  The Hero would rather go around seducing women, and the Saint wants to keep the anti-aging perk of being summoned.”

 

“How selfish of them. Someone need to teach those brats that there is more to the world than just them!”  The Demon general growled while the others nodded in agreement.

 

“Oh, believe me, we tried.  It was even more troublesome at first.  Most of the summoned acted the same way at the beginning, but eventually came around when it really hit home that the fiends were a real threat.  The only ones who continue to be a problem are the Hero, Saint, and one of the Alchemists.”

 

“Have none of the other summoned tried talking sense into them?”  I asked.

“There was one at the beginning.  He was the one who got most of the others to drop their delusions about our world and take it seriously.”  As she said this, I could see a hint of sadness flash across her face.

 

“What happened to that person?”  Asked the Elf general also noticing her sadness.

 

“He was killed by a dungeon trap two months into their training.  Many of the heroes and I think that the Saint and Hero have something to do with that though.”

 

“Why do you suspect them?  I can understand wanting to place the blame on someone, but dungeons are dangerous for anyone.  Especially when it comes to dungeons with traps.”  Said the Dwarf general.

 

“He was part of the Hero’s team and possessed the Scout class.  Not to mention he was also quite good at detecting and disarming traps so I find it difficult to think he would end up dying to one.”

 

“I see, were the two of them questioned about it?”  I asked.

 

“Of course, they were, and as you would expect, they denied doing anything.  Though I did notice during their questioning that the Saint had an unrestrained smile that spoke more than any answer we would get out of them.  Honestly, I would rather send those two back to their world or have them detained, but they are necessary to end the King of Fiends, so we can’t do that.”  While saying all this Princess Nia’s words became more and more bitter.

 

“Thank you for letting us know about all of this, Princess.  We will keep a watchful eye out for these two.  What can you tell us about this problematic Alchemist?”  Asked the Demon general.

 

“The problem with him is that he is an unrestrained pervert.  I have lost count of how many complaints I receive about him from just about everyone.  You lose sight of him for one second and he starts harassing the nearest woman.”  As she said this, she showed an expression of pure disgust.

 

“I see, I will send out a warning to the female soldiers to be on the lookout.” Said the Elf general showing the same face as the Princess.

 

While the generals and the Princess were having this discussion, there was a darker topic being discussed between the Hero and the Saint.

 

“Brother did you see that fox person earlier?”

 

“I did, why”

“Don’t you think his tail would look good on me as a scarf?”

 

“It would, do you want me to go and cut it off of him for you?”

 

“I would like that very much, but you will have to do that later.  We can’t just cut off his tail and run, as much as I would like to.”

 

“Why can’t we, it’s not like they can do anything to us right?”

 

“While that is true, they already have us in a position where we can’t do anything but do what we are supposed to do in this world.  As much as it frustrates me to admit.”

 

“Then when do you want me to do it?”

 

“He said earlier that those disgusting fiend things have been attacking more frequently, right?  So, during the next attack find an opportunity to kill him and take his tail.”

 

“OK then I will do that.”
