Ilz Royal City.
The Elf King Inursson looked extremely worried.
There was a pile of reports in front of him, and the contents on them were really not funny.
"If this continues, I won't be able to hold on for much longer..."
As a last resort.
He can only make the current situation public.
Inside the conference room.
"...What, not enough food?"
Faced with this urgent issue, many people looked at each other in confusion.
"Yes."
Inulson nodded awkwardly.
"Although Ilz has stored a lot of food, the number of people now is simply too large. With only the reserves of one city, it won't last long anyway."
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
"...I didn't expect to encounter this kind of special crisis."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We've already exhausted all our strength just to transfer the people, and we can't move much other supplies."
"But we can't go without food for so many people. If we starve to death before being killed by the demons, that would be unacceptable."
"Even if you say so, where are we going to get food..."
"Your Majesty Inulson, how long can the current food reserves last?"
"Five days," Inulsson replied.
"What, five days? Isn't that within reach?"
"No, five days is actually a conservative estimate. We can only achieve this if we start restricting food supplies now. Otherwise... we won't even make it through three days."
"Three days?!"
Many people were shocked by this number.
“This is too bad!”
"We must go find food immediately!"
"But, to supply so many people with food, there's nowhere to get it, right?"
“… …”
Just when everyone was at a loss.
Alicia suddenly stood up.
"Everyone, I might have a solution to the food problem."
"Oh, Her Highness Alicia?"
“You really have a way…”
"Yes, please show me the map of the empire."
A few minutes later.
The map of the Pasala Empire was presented to everyone, and Alicia stood in front of the map, constantly making marks.
After all the markings were completed, she turned around and said to everyone:
"During the previous war, I was in charge of the empire's logistics. I have memorized the locations of all the granaries in the empire."
"These are the locations of all the large granaries in the empire. They hold the entire empire's reserves. I think... they'll be enough for us to use for a long time."
"I see!"
"If it were the entire empire's reserves, the current food problem could indeed be solved."
"What about the monsters, Miss Alicia? Won't these places be destroyed by monsters?"
Alicia nodded.
"There will probably be some damage, but these granaries are mostly built in the suburbs, not where monsters focus their attacks. Ordinary food isn't very attractive to monsters, so most of it should be able to be preserved..."
"In that case, it's worth a try."
After a brief discussion.
An action plan was quickly drawn up.
"Then it's settled."
Irus made the final decision.
"But please remember, this time we're not going to fight. Try not to cause too much conflict with the demons, and avoid any actions that will reduce your combat effectiveness."
... ...
Somewhere outside of Langard.
Swish.
A small space channel suddenly opened in a remote place.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
More than ten figures quickly rushed out from the space channel.
They were in a combat posture, looking around vigilantly, and making no sound while moving.
"... ...safe, expand the investigation range."
"yes!"
As the captain whispered orders.
More than ten team members quickly dispersed around.
As they left, the small space passage behind them also disappeared again...
In front of a large granary built into the mountain.
A monster is on the prowl.
Many days ago, it sensed the presence of many people nearby, and following those smells, it stopped here.
However, after so many days, not only has no one been seen, but even the main force has abandoned it and left without anyone noticing.
It became one of the many scattered monsters and could only continue to wander here.
If it continues, perhaps one day it will transform into a native resident like many of its predecessors in history.
But, that day may never come...
"roar?"
The monster seemed to have sensed something.
Its whole body was tense and alert, staring vigilantly at a bush not far away.
It took a long time.
There was still no movement in the bushes. It became a little anxious, stretching its neck and sniffing around, trying to find something in the air.
However.
whoosh——!
Just as it stretched its neck, a figure suddenly flew out from the bushes.
clang!
The shining long sword swung in the air, drawing an arc through the monster's neck, leaving a long line of blood.
Two seconds later.
Bang.
The monster's head fell to the ground.
Puff——!
A large amount of blood gushed out from the broken part. After a few seconds, the huge body of the monster slowly fell down.
