Chapter 379

“I thought so too . But it’s also quite possible that there won’t be enough time even if you returned now…”

“Yes, I agree with that . Besides, it would leave a bad aftertaste if we left this world like this . And what if we did come back later and everything had ended? Could you imagine such a terrible scenario? In that case, we might as well stay and see how things play out . ”

Ramiris and Beretta had the same opinion and were in support of Veldora .

It was also clear that Beretta just didn’t want to deal with the hassle of covering their tracks . He was sure that they would force that role on him anyway .

And it was possible that he would not be quick enough and they would blame him . Beretta’s demon instincts were telling him that any such fabrications they might attempt would have dangerous results .

And so Beretta had no objections .

They would all get in trouble! That’s what he thought, and he could not hide it .

“Ka-hahahaha! Creating diversions is my specialty . Would you mind if I just destroyed the enemy altogether?”

Veldora asked with an air of triumph .

Next to him,

“He just wants to go wild, doesn’t he?”

Ramiris muttered .

“But Lord Ramiris . As much as I hate to admit it, I think having Lord Veldora do that would be the most effective . ”

Beretta answered .

Neither of them objected .

Veldora would help—that was what they settled on .

However, there was still a problem .

“Having Lord Veldora’s help would be most welcome, but it will still be difficult to send all our men for this diversion . We must protect our base here and we do not have many men…”

Sending out all their soldiers and leaving those that should be protected? It was out of the question .

And so Zaza suggested that they instead sent the minimum amount of men that they could .

Things would be easier if the other branches sent reinforcements, but he wanted to create a diversion without relying on them .

Zaza was prepared to die trying .

If they drew attention like that so close to the Empire, they would likely be surrounded and annihilated .

Perhaps Veldora, who was unusually strong, would survive . But there was no such hope for Zaza and the others .

But if it would lead to Michelle’s rescue…

That’s what he thought as he made the decision .

However…

“Oh, Zaza . Do not worry . Beretta and Ramiris will remain here, so those who can fight should go out and cause a scene . We will prepare the weapons and equipment for this by tomorrow . ”

Veldora said without any hesitation .

However, there was one person who was not satisfied with this .

It was Ramiris .

“Wa-wait! Master!? I want to go with you!!”

She jumped onto Veldora’s shoulder as she declared this .

There was no way she could stand to be left behind .

“Tsk . But if you come, I will have to watch over you . ”

“And what’s wrong with that!”

They were about to start arguing, but here, Beretta offered to help .

“Lord Veldora, why don’t I go too then?”

But Veldora’s reaction was clear .

“Wait, Beretta . You must stay here and protect these people . That way, Zaza will be able to go into battle without regret . ”

And so Beretta had no choice but to agree .

After hearing Veldora’s words, Beretta decided to stay .

As for Ramiris…

“I’m going no matter what, alright?”

She had decided she would not back down . And so it was Veldora who gave up .

“You’re incorrigible . Well, I suppose I’ll have to protect you . But then I won’t be able to go all out…”

“So what! There will be no need to!!”

Ramiris was right .

It was clear that Veldora just wanted to go all out . If anything, it was good that Ramiris would be there to keep him in check . That’s what Beretta thought .

And as for her protection, there was no way that Veldora would have a problem with that .

And so Beretta decided to leave Ramiris to his care .

Ultimately, it was decided that Veldora and Ramiris would participate in the diversion plan while Beretta would stay with the noncombatants .

“Good! Then I will lead the diversion troops! Mister Veldora, you can support us!”

“Leave it to me . ”

Zaza said and Veldora nodded .

And like that, the plan was devised on the basis that Veldora would be aiding them .

◇◇◇

And now, the present .

It was the next morning when the plan would be put into effect .

Karman and his four subordinates were riding Reiz’s supply transport ship and heading for the Empire .

They had held a strategy meeting and carefully planned everyone’s official role .

“Yes, yes . Karman and his men would know the most about the inner city . They should infiltrate it and rescue Michelle . I will follow Zaza’s command and wreak havoc!!”

Grandma will go to the river to wash the clothes, while grandpa will cut trees in the mountains .

That’s what Veldora might as well have said, given the weight behind it .

Of course, in Veldora’s mind, he was likely cutting down the Empire’s soldiers, not trees .

Such were the images in Karman’s head . Just then, Jegyll spoke up .

“By the way, Karma . There is something I’ve been curious about…”

“Huh? What is it?”

Jegyll looked around as if to appraise them, then she carefully opened her mouth .

“Have you also fought that man, Veldora? According to Michelle, he was as strong if not stronger than her…”

Jegyll was wondering how he could still be alive after such a fight .

Now that he thought of it, he had not made a report of that .

“No, no . The person we fought against was Beretta . All five of us attacked him and we were crushed into the ground . ”
