"It's simply too strong..."

"Is this guy really from the same era as us?"

At this time, Xia Qing, who had his back to everyone, slowly turned around.

"Of course the shield is still what you think. What you see is just the power I had before I came here."

"What?"

Xia Qing's answer was so confusing that it was temporarily impossible to understand it with the IQs of Kitamura Motoyasu and the others.

Even now, I am still thinking about how such a powerful guy belongs to the same era.

After the battle, Queen Mirelia of Merromager arrived belatedly with her army.

"Mother!?"

Melty exclaimed as she looked at the woman commanding the army.

Wearing equipment like a female general, the woman covered her mouth with a fan and narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.

"Your activity this time is jaw-dropping, Shield Hero-sama."

"It couldn't have come at a better time, Your Majesty~"

Xia Qing joked.

"This is the Queen of Merromager, Mirelia Q Melromager... I'm sorry for being late. We were already marching at full speed. I thought I could at least help, but I didn't expect you. It will be resolved so quickly.”

After the death of the Pope, the believers were leaderless. Mirelia, who had returned to the highest position in the country, bowed and apologized to Xia Qing in a respectful manner, and gave orders to the medical squad in the rear army.

"Everyone! Treat the injured heroes and their companions here. This is the king's order and you must not slack off."

After issuing the command, the queen turned to Xia Qing's side again.

"Really... this time, it's all my fault. Please forgive me, Lord Shield Hero..."

Her attitude is so humble, no different from that of a servant, naturally because Xia Qing has a long-standing relationship with the "Shield of the World", and in addition, the queen herself is one of the few rational people among the "Mellomag" .

Through this battle, after observing the battle between Xia Qing and the Pope from a distance, I naturally knew what attitude to adopt when facing someone who could easily destroy her and "Melomag".

Even if she could kneel down and apologize, it would be a trivial matter to save her only daughter, Meldy.

Tracy McGrady was naturally excluded.

"Mother mother..."

Melty murmured heartbrokenly after seeing this scene.

And Maddie also felt ashamed.

"Hey, Mom, why do you have to apologize to that kind of person!"

She stretched out her hand and pointed fiercely at Xia Qing.

As for the Queen, veins appeared on her forehead because of Maddie's actions, and her body was shaking with anger.

"Maddie...after returning to the city, I will accept your punishment. Please be mentally prepared."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and Maddie suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, as if something terrible was about to happen.

The next moment, as the Queen snapped her fingers, the [Shadow] appeared from behind Maddie and grabbed her directly.

“Wait—Mom!”

"Shut that idiot up."

"Discourteous! How dare you whine————"

Maddie, whose mouth was gagged with cotton, was taken away by members of [Shadow].

The other three brave men who saw this scene didn't know what to say and turned their heads away.

The previous experience of betrayal caused deep psychological trauma to Kitamura Motoyasu, who had no reason to trust the people around him.

"Then, Lord Shield Hero... no, it's Lord Xia Qing. Next, I will give you due compensation. No matter what you need, as long as "Mellomag" and I have it, I can do it. satisfy."

"Huh? Are you sure?"

"certainly."

As the queen, Mirelia nodded affirmatively.

"Then...what if I want "Melomag"?"

Xia Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile.

"this……"

The Queen hesitated for only a second.

"Since I entrust you, the wise Shield Hero will be in charge of "Mellomag". I can rest assured. I think the people will also be willing to do so."

In fact, Xia Qing could tell at a glance that the Queen would only take action when her interests were aligned.

After the core leader of the [Three Brave Cult] was destroyed, the [Shield Cult] who specialized in the Shield Hero could easily start to build a new religion in "Melomag"

Promoting the Creed of the Shield Hero will have a great impact on the Queen's power, both covertly and overtly.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Xia Qing shook his head.

If he really wanted to control it, he would have no interest in all the trivial state affairs that were so troublesome.

"In addition...why I have been living abroad, why I have power but do not support you, why I should be in the southwest country but I am commanding the expeditionary army here...You should have all kinds of things you want. Just ask."

"No, there's no need to ask."

Xia Qing shook his head gently.

"Ah?"

Even the queen was stunned by Xia Qing's answer.

"Ahaha... Is that so? Since the Shield Hero said so, then so be it."

The Queen, who was ashamed of her presumption, could not help but blush on her cheeks. After coughing a few times, she ordered someone to prepare a carriage and return to the city immediately.
