Chapter 108: Obstinance
I listen to Senri’s quiet voice while enduring the stomachache. The story Senri heard from the Mayor was extremely suspicious.
“The holy ground that the undead is aiming for, huh…”
“…”
According to the Mayor, there seems to be something like a holy ground beneath that old castle that attracts the undead.
Therefore, in order to exterminate the undead that appear frequently, Dessend is calling the mercenaries from outside and having them guard the old castle. The scale of the attack last night seemed to have been outside of Dessend’s expectations.
It was just too unnatural. Even I, with my scuffed concentration ability because of the stomach ache, can clearly tell that it sounds incongruent, as if they forcefully tried rationalizing it.
First of all, that doesn’t explain why they didn’t contact the Order. It’s possible for them to force an excuse that they wanted to contact the Order after seeing how things go — but, well, it’s probably unlikely. After all, Dessend’s side isn’t losing anything by contacting the Order of Death Knights.
Senri says with a serious expression.
“They’re hiding… something.” “To start with, what I was attracted to… was not a place.”
