Chapter 707 Moving To Silvertide
-----
Naturally, I also gifted my dear Eleanora a bracelet custom made to enhance her battle performance and that also looked quite beautiful, it wasn\'t gold colored, but black gold, with red, purple, and pink jewels. It was right in her aesthetic, and she seemed to love it.
And once the morning came and we were enjoying breakfast, everyone noticed how all three of them were extra lovey-dovey with me, sitting around me and attending my every need… I am sure they felt indebted with the gifts, but I don\'t think this was necessary. Nonetheless, I appreciate their love.
"Woah, those bracelets you\'re wearing…" Chris noticed first.
"Oh, I can tell why you three are so lovey-dovey with him now…" Evelyn noticed as well. "It seems the heart of a woman can always be conquered with a beautiful enough jewelry! Ah, I wish someone gifted me something too!"
"W-We\'re always like this with Blake!" Erika blushed a bit.
"Well, I have to admit that the bracelet is really beautiful." Elizabeth smiled sweetly.
"I\'ve always been my lord\'s most loyal servant; I would kill anybody for him!" Eleanora seemed slightly more obsessed than often.
"It\'s fine, calm down, girls." I sighed. "Let\'s just enjoy breakfast with everybody else like always."
Knock, knock!
Suddenly, someone knocked the door of our house, as Erdrich went to open it. What greeted him was Monica, Hasan, and a group of soldiers wearing armor we had never seen before.
"Greetings… Director, and Monica?" Erdrich said.
"May we come in, young man?" Hasan asked politely.
"Y-Yes, please…" Erdrich nodded.
The whole group entered the house as they made a bit of a fuss while we were enjoying a calm morning breakfast. It seems that news about Silvertide have arrived.
"Good news, Blake, we\'ve managed to get all paperwork done now. Also, Monica here used her authority over her own territory to create a Summon Decree, which pretty much calls for you students to join the battle." Said Hasan. "Usually, this would easily get rejected by me, but because this is exactly what you want… Well, there you go."
"And these soldiers are from your territory, Monica?" I asked.
"Commoner! Don\'t talk to Lady Monica with such relaxed tone of voice!" Suddenly, one of the knights stepped forward, with a short gray beard and an old looking appearance, a big scar in the middle of his face.
"Eustace, it is fine." Said Monica. "Didn\'t I tell you that this is Blake? He\'s the one that rescued me from the demons and taught me how to be much stronger. Please, show him the same reverence and respect you would to nobility."
"B-But my lady…" The old man, Eustace, seemed shaken, but then nodded and sighed. "Very well… My apologies, sir Blake."
"Don\'t worry, I am quite used to being bashed at for being a commoner." I laughed. "Anyways, Monica, have you come to escort us? You seem different than before, are you in a hurry?"
"Y-Yes… I finally got news about my father…" Monica sighed, sitting between Eric and Alberta. "For the last month our territory has been constantly attacked by the demons, and my father was… In a battle defending our territory, he…"
"He died?!" Asked Erika panicking.
"N-No! By the Holy Spirits, that\'s the least I would want to… But it might lead to that…" Monica sighed. "He was captured by the demons and is being used as a hostage. They want to use him as a bargaining chip so we give up our territory to them without fighting any longer…"
"The Darkage Territory is the last stronghold of the Silvertide Kingdom, if it falls, the smaller fiefdoms all will fall in a domino effect, and the demons will finally secure the entire Kingdom…" Eustace sighed. "To think these treacherous monsters would go this far!"
The old knight clenched his fists tightly while gritting his teeth, he seemed very shaken as well.
"I see, so that\'s why this is more urgent than before." I nodded. "Very well, we\'ve finished preparations anyways, so let\'s depart right away."
"R-Really?!" Monica got incredibly happy. "T-Then let\'s go right away! An airship is waiting for us in the airport!"
"Alright everyone." I stood up from my seat. "It\'s time to get going and earn ourselves continent-wide recognition."
"Let\'s do this!" Erika got excited.
"I guess there\'s no option." Elizabeth sighed.
"Leave them to me." Eleanora said. "I\'ll crush all those demons in your name."
"Hahaha! That\'s the spirit!" Erdrich laughed. "Maybe with this… with this my father will recognize my strength some more."
"Hmph, to think I would end up helping you humans…" Sighed Elfriedden. "You better make sure to repay the favor later on."
"T-This is a bit… terrifying. H-How many demons are there going to be?" Alberta wondered.
"I think it has been reported that there\'s at least ten thousand demons surrounding our territory…" Monica sighed.
"W-What?!" Alberta cried in shock.
"Don\'t worry, you\'re not alone on this Alberta." Eric smiled bravely. In other situations, he would be panicking just like her, but he had grown to become braver due to her. "I\'ll be there as well; I won\'t let any harm come to you."
"E-Eric…" Alberta blushed a bit. "A-And I won\'t let any harm come to you either! Y-You\'re more of a long-ranged attacker so… I\'ll protect you with my defenses! A-Also, my golems are finally ready."
"Golems?" Monica wondered.
"A small project we\'ve been working on." I answered. "Using our Skills together, we\'ve managed to mass produce fifty high-tech magic golems capable of fighting C+ Rank monsters by themselves."
It was mostly an experimentation on my part, as I was trying out my new Skills such as Creation, Fusion, and Mechanical Creation. With Alberta\'s Forging Skills and Eric\'s advanced Alchemy, we were capable of creating amazingly high tech golems using the highest quality materials we could find.
They\'re only fifty by now, but they\'ll definitely make a change once we can mass produce them. Not only I can rely on my summons, but huge armies of golems, much like how the Dwarves defend their territories by employing over a million golems themselves.
"Amazing…" Monica sighed. "I feel like I don\'t even deserve your help…"
"Well, as long as I am paid well, you shouldn\'t feel guilty about our aid." I laughed.
"Watch your tongue!" Eustace barked.
