Book 5: Chapter 17
In front of the checking station, which was literally the “entrance” of the Lev Magic Empire, chaos ensued. The space where we adventurers used to spend the night outdoors before being admitted into the Empire was crowded with soldiers donning armors of different colours from different countries.
「Hey, I can’t pass through!」
「I need to go inside!」
「Who the hell pushed me!」
「General! General!」
I caught a few people and asked what was going on. It seems that the Supreme Commander of the Saint Knight Kingdom had already passed through the passage and entered the Empire, and his soldiers were trying to follow him. Furthermore, even the second-in-command of the Keith Gran Federation was heading to the front line, so additional soldiers were trying to get through the passage to support him.
The Kruvan Holy Kingdom side was also trying to send soldiers to the front line to confirm the situation, as the former Holy King was already at the front line, which extradited the chaos.
On the other hand, from inside the Empire, the Keith Gran Federation’s soldiers were staying near the passage as it was their usual time to substitute troops. The passage was blocked from both sides.
And I was too late to arrive.
