Not only was the camp attacked by Imperial Arms users, but Lancer side was no exception.
An assault team consisting of one Imperial Arms user, three Imperial Arms users, and dozens of bandits was easy to deal with, but the only thing to be thankful for was that the enemy had indeed underestimated him. Except for the last Imperial Arms user who used himself as a 'trap' to self-destruct and almost destroyed all of his armor, he himself did not suffer too much damage.
But the subsequent events made Lancer feel bad. The Imperial Arms user choosing to commit suicide could be attributed to the 'inevitable death of one side in a battle between Imperial Arms users' that Lancer thought was just an exaggeration, but all three of the guys who used Imperial Arms preferred to die rather than be captured, and the bandits were hired and didn't even know who they were attacking.
Everything gave off a scent of conspiracy. On the way back to the main force, Lancer, who had ordered the less injured people to return with him, encountered a second wave of attackers.
And the second wave of attackers made Lancer feel even stranger. Most of them didn't seem strong, but they had physical fitness far beyond normal people, but they didn't have the corresponding combat ability. But at this moment, the thunder in the distance made the ominous premonition in Lancer mind grow stronger, but at this time, those strange guys became even more frantic, completely using their lives to stall for time. Lancer, who couldn't care about so much anymore, simply used 'Weapon Overload' again.
The final result was that these guys whose physical strength was not inferior to danger beasts were all killed by Lancer, but his cavalry spear also turned into fragments as the battle ended.
Lancer, who originally didn't want to expose his proficiency with the spear, also had to pick up a spear from the ground. After all, being able to summon a 'weapon box' was even more incredible than using a spear.
The constant cracking sounds along the way made Lancer brows furrow deeper, and then... he and the others were escorted by a group of people with spears.
This abnormal state made Lancer feel incredible, but looking at Budo, who was almost out of control in front of the carriage, Lancer knew that the thing he least wanted to see had probably happened.
"You can't?! You're telling me you can't!! What do you think The Emperor is raising you for, don't you know?!"
"Great General! It's not that I can't do it! It's... the medicine wasn't brought!!"
"Why didn't you bring it?!"
"This... one of the antidotes is poisonous, and it was picked out before we left."
Budo, who was still fuming with anger, was instantly stunned, because the order to leave several poisonous medicines behind was given by him, in order to eliminate all factors that could threaten the emperor's life, but now...
"Damn it!! Tell me where it is?! I'll send people to get it!!"
"This... the pharmacies in the city should all have it, but I'm afraid you must be quick, Great General. This poison is not a potent poison, but the damage it does to the body is permanent. If it's delayed for too long, even if the poison is eventually cured, The Emperor will..."
Should I say that bad news came one after another?
This time, the assassins had clearly calculated everything, including him!
"Write down the name of the medicine!"
Budo directly ordered all the cavalry squads under him to set off together. After all, if too few people were sent, they might be ambushed by those 'assassins', and even the other two Imperial Arms users in the team were sent out together, just to be foolproof.
It wasn't until this moment that Budo had Lancer and his team brought over.
"The Emperor was attacked by villains, and that person looks exactly like you, Lancer. Do you have anything to say?"
"I am not the attacker."
Facing the intimidating Budo at this time, Lancer didn't know what to say besides this dry sentence, because he knew that no matter what he said, the other party wouldn't believe him, unless the emperor could wake up.
Wait?! Wake up...
"Great General Budo, I don't know if I can help The Emperor, but can you let me try?"
Lancer had been working under Budo for more than a year, but Budo had never heard of Lancer having a similar ability, and Lancer current situation was very delicate...
But The Emperor's situation was also very bad...
"First, tell me what you plan to do!"
"I once met a 'companion' when I was hunting danger beasts..."
"Is it the cat-shaped danger beast that your family cooks with?"
Budo words interrupted Lancer sentence, but he still nodded.
"That's right. It can play a strange kind of music that can enhance human recovery. Although I don't know if it will help with The Emperor's treatment, it shouldn't have any side effects."
If Lancer had planned to do something to the emperor with his own hands or make him take some medicine, Budo would have immediately refused, because it was too dangerous. The methods used by the assassins this time were simply 'vicious', but he could let him try this. If Lancer and that danger beast dared to do anything!
Budo eyes were filled with killing intent. There was no doubt that the emperor's attack this time had caused his reason to gradually approach collapse.
"You can try it, but if you do anything out of line..."
"I will accept whatever punishment the General decides!"
Budo nodded after hearing Lancer statement.
After taking out the horn flute from his arms, Lancer took a deep breath before blowing it. Although the sound of the flute was not loud, the sense of vicissitude made people realize that the flute in Lancer hand was definitely not an ordinary item. However, Budo was not in the mood for the flute. He only cared about one thing right now!
"Rustle~Rustle~"
And at this moment, the bushes next to them shook, and the already nervous Imperial Guards subconsciously raised their weapons.
"Meow...?!?"
Tiger, who was summoned and habitually wanted to act cute towards Lancer, opened his eyes and saw a forest of swords and knives, and was instantly bewildered. He looked at Lancer with an incredulous expression, as if asking him what he meant.
"Tiger, a friend of mine is injured..."
"Meow!"
Lancer only said half of his sentence before the other party took down the hunting horn on his back.
There was no doubt that as good partners of humans, they were one of the kindest races in the world. Of course, those in the wild didn't count, and Tiger naturally wouldn't say much when he heard that someone needed help.
After sniffing his nose, he quickly found his target. He trotted over with the hunting horn in his arms, but at the carriage door, he just happened to meet the grim-faced Budo...
"Meow! Meow-meow!!"
Tiger, who was poking Budo pants with his paw, meant to tell Budo to move aside. Budo, after taking a look at Tiger, also moved aside, but the weapon in his hand remained unsheathed. There was no doubt that once Tiger wanted to do something, he would not hesitate to act!
But unfortunately, Tiger didn't care about Budo. He raised the hunting horn and played the 'Recovery Melody' without hesitation. Immediately, a sound different from the horn flute came from the hunting horn in his hand...
