"...this doesn't seem right now, does it...?"
Zoemi muttered to himself.
The small-scale showcase of the nearest contested point continued and ended within the next few hours without any surprises.
In the end, it was just like the armored man had said - that point wasn't often contested.
It was just not an attractive point to barbarians since if they focused solely on it without capturing most - if not all - outposts on the way there it would be laughably easy to retake by the Perserios's forces after surrounding it as it lacked an advantageous terrain of the other locations.
As the trio returned to the Perserios castle Zoemi left Miriette for a moment and took Burushi to the side.
"Good, I see you want me to advise you on how to get rid of that helmeted..."
"Burushi, it was fun, but seriously. That helmeted heathen is Miriette."
The blond heroine nodded with a content expression and spoke in a satisfied voice but then Zoemi rolled his eyes and cut her off.
"EEEEHHHH?!"
