"Enemies?"
In the cave that flowed with a warm air, all mbers of the Chaldea group, who had been in conversation with Alberon, were stunned.
The reason was simple; Reiger had suddenly burst in from outside and without a second word, threw out a statent.
"Our position has been discovered, the enemy is currently approaching this way."
It was this sentence that not only caused the Chaldea group to freeze but also left Altoria, who had jogged over with them, shocked in her tracks.
Only Alberon quickly stood up.
"They’ve co quite quickly," Alberon frowned seriously and asked Reiger, "Who’s coming?"
Reiger imdiately glanced at Tristan and said, "Elf Knight Tristan, or rather, Bawan Xi."
At this revelation, Tristan’s eyebrows slightly lifted, and Da Vinci also showed a look of surprise.
"Is it really such a coincidence?"
Da Vinci murmured softly.
"No, this is no coincidence." Alberon imdiately shook his head and said, "Elf Knight Tristan... never mind, let’s call her Bawan Xi, that woman is Morgan’s foster daughter, inherited Morgan’s great magic of the ’Mirror,’ which allows for arbitrary relocation. Considering you just landed in Fairy Country Britannia today, even if news has already been sent back to Calot, it would take them so ti to send troops over. The only one who could get to us this quickly with Morgan’s ’Mirror’ is Bawan Xi."
"So it’s normal that she’s the one coming."
Having said that, Alberon asked again.
"Besides Bawan Xi, who else is there?"
Clearly, Alberon didn’t believe that only Bawan Xi was coming.
Although Bawan Xi was an Elf Knight, she was the weakest among them, far inferior to Lancelot and Gawain. In such a situation, it would be suicidal for her to co alone and attempt to ambush Reiger, who was capable of bringing down Gawain.
So there must be others besides Bawan Xi.
Indeed, this was the case.
"Besides Bawan Xi, there is Beryl Gate, and a force of several hundred Fairy soldiers," Reiger inford everyone with the intelligence he obtained through the "Divine Eye."
"Beryl Gate?"
Alberon narrowed his eyes.
"Is it him?"
Da Vinci had a sudden realization and frowned.
"Who is he?"
A beautiful face etched with concern, Tristan asked the question.
"Beryl Gate..."
While Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew were initially clueless, their minds began to stir, almost recalling sothing.
As if he didn’t see any of this, Reiger just stated emotionlessly,
"Right, there’s also a bewitching beauty in military uniform with them, sporting fox ears and a fox tail. Judging by the aura she emits, she is likely not a fairy, nor human, not even a Servant, but a special life form that doesn’t belong to any of these categories."
When this statent ca from Reiger’s lips, Altoria and Tristan might put that aside, but the expressions of everyone else changed simultaneously.
"A bewitching beauty with fox ears and a tail?" Da Vinci’s expression changed for the first ti, exclaiming in shock, "Could it be her?"
Not only Da Vinci, but even Fujimaru Ritsuka and Matthew seed to have a deep impression of this figure, their eyes widening despite their lost mories.
Even Alberon’s expression shifted subtly as he fell into silence.
Reiger saw everyone’s reaction but was not surprised by it.
He, who was familiar with the source material, of course, knew the significance of the fox-eared, fox-tailed beauty.
She was an existence whose origins were even more extraordinary than Lancelot and Gawain, comparable to the source of the "calamity" of Fairy Country Britannia.
To put it bluntly, if she reverted to her true nature, revealing her true face and power, she would likely beco the most terrifying individual in this Folklore World.
Whether it was Lancelot, Gawain, or even Morgan, none could compare.
In other words, the arrival of this individual was a decidedly pressure-filled event for Reiger.
Fortunately, she was not yet in her "complete form," and should not beco too horrifying.
With this in mind, Reiger quickly addressed the others as if eager to cut through the confusion,
"The enemy has already set up an encirclent and is pressing in our direction. If we’re not preparing to confront them, we should retreat now."
Upon hearing this, everyone put their shock aside and began to ponder.
"If we are to retreat, to where can we retreat?"
The first to speak up was none other than Da Vinci.
The all-knowing genius no longer seed inclined to remain silent; her youthful face taut with tension, she posed the question.
"Although we haven’t conducted a detailed survey, the terrain around here is likely quite challenging, right?"
At present, Reiger and the others were on a hill about several kiloters outside of the Naless Forest.
The nearby area was all coastal land, with the sea on both sides and the Naless Forest behind them. Only the front led to the main road that traveled to the central area.
In other words, Reiger and his companions could only choose to go forward or to retreat backward, as the left and right sides were impassable due to the sea.
However, according to Reiger, Bawan Xi and the others had already set up a net of entrapnt in front, closing in from that direction.
