Log Horizon - ep18

Now with their arrival at Akihabara it time to have the princess approach the people. However first they have to get her to change her clothes, this was probably done to make the princess fit in a bit better with the adventures. It also seems that they are going about it a bit differently than how the princess initially conveyed that she would do by asking for help by going from person to person. That instead they are going to have her request for aid by giving a speech, to convenience the adventures to aid Eastal in their crisis. That Shiroe starts things off with a good cop, bad cop routine by emphasizing that they have no obligation to help Eastal at all. Actual by doing nothing they would be able to better defend Akihabara but they really aren't any real danger from the Goblins.

This leads into Lenessia presenting the crisis that her people are face with, and apologizing for the fact that Eastal was going to try use the adventures as their shield. Then in response to her honesty and sincerity they honor her request for a call to arms. This leads Crusty making this into a formal quest presented by the round table with him taking up the role as commander. While Shiroe is taking up the role as tactician. This leads to them splitting up their forces with Crusty going by sea and Shiroe going by land to set up a command center. It seem that the greatest threat now is that they don't know where the goblins will strike next since they don't have a real tactical goal. This leads to them having to cast a wide net, so that they can quickly respond to the threat. It should be interesting to see how this battle is carried out.
