74 – Landfill

Arundel, the most powerful country on the continent.

The imperial castle, the core of the empire, was especially cluttered today.

Jerking away——

This is because people flocked here and there.

A splendid carriage trudged in, and attendants dressed in suits served their respective masters.

“Oh, not Lord Daywell.”

“Senior? Long time no see.”

“Heh heh. It looks like he’s grown taller since I haven’t seen him.”

As always, nobles and bureaucrats got along with each other according to their age and dignity.

Since it was an important place, it was more serious than usual. Even if the continent is in crisis, their masks will still be there.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since the last meeting. It looks like His Majesty is very concerned.”

“That’s right. At times like this, shouldn’t we be our strength?”

“You are right.”

There were some who kept their composure like Daywell, the leader of a group, and an old minister, but most of them were nervous and had a subtle attitude.

In their own territory, they may get a kick out of it, but here it is a different story.

······After a while like that.

The royal court in the heart of the imperial castle where all the requested people are seated.

The emperor announced the beginning of the royal meeting dealing with important national affairs.

“Everyone gathered well.”

Ioloman Pricus III.

After sitting on the throne for a long time, his eyes were deep and clear.

Near him was the dignified crown prince Artan Pricus.

“There will be no one who is unaware of the situation at hand. There is no fuss inside or outside.”

The great and small officials remained silent and did not dare to cut off his words.

Some of them looked at their eyes coldly and contemplated their stance.

“To put it bluntly, Jim hasn’t been very comfortable lately.”

“Your Majesty. It will be resolved soon, so please don’t worry too much.”

Suddenly, a servant gave advice.

Others also helped, as if it was the right time.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

“If this is an empire, what kind of trouble could there be?”

The emperor listened quietly and nodded slightly.

“It’s relieved to hear the gentlemen say that.”

“It’s nothing but congratulations—”

“Then let’s work out a solution in earnest. I’d like to hear your thoughts first.”

An upright remark opened a certain door.

The priests glanced at each other and came up with opinions one by one.

“The people are bleeding. It is right to wipe out the cruel monsters.”

“Your Majesty. The subject of this inundation is not an ordinary monster. If you want to hunt down all of them, the damage will be enormous, so we must focus on driving them out of the territory.”

“Inundation has spread across the continent, but not all of them are in danger. Requesting reinforcements from each country…”

Despite the various opinions, the emperor did not look good. He, who mainly advocated progressive policies, was reluctant to respond passively.

“Kyungs are more timid than I thought.”

“Your Majesty—”

“I heard you well. But before that, listen to the prince here.”

The attention of the audience was focused on Artan, who had been silent.

He exhaled and suddenly raised his head.

“Your Highness’ opinion…?”

“·······.”

What a crown prince.

Moreover, it was Artan who has been expanding his power like crazy lately.

The noise slowly died down, and everyone paid attention to his mouth.

After looking around the hall for a while, Artan pursed his lips as if he had made up his mind.

“It is to conquer landfills.”

“······!”

A solemn declaration that descends again.

Consternation swept the area.

As promised, the emperor passed the baton and quietly began observing.

“Hmm…”

It was time to see the will of his son and successor.

The courtiers watched the prince’s eyes and secretly brought up objections.

“Your Highness. The strength of the monsters is extraordinary. But beyond that, they’re conquering landfills.”

“I dare to say this, but I think it might be overkill. First, after arranging the land-“

“Excessive greed. Do the Lords underestimate the power of this empire?”

The reaction was as expected.

Artan responded calmly.

“I can’t believe that! However, it may not be premature at the moment…”

“It was that complacency that brought the disaster to this point.”

“···!”

The appearance of a terrible word.

The servants were startled, but Artan stood firm.

“Does that sound like that even though he spread his henchmen to devour the continent?”

“Big. Big. Your Highness Haona…”

Now everyone knows the determination of the crown prince. Nonetheless, some officials still voiced objections.

There were two reasons for that.

First, they are high-ranking officials.

I didn’t want to gamble because I had a lot to lose.

“Your Highness is indeed right. Lord Bellon, please listen to Your Highness’ advice.”

“Look, Count Daywell! Why are you-“

“Stop.”

Second, they are not the crown prince’s line.

Those who had already made up their minds to follow Artan had changed their minds.

If there is a political reason, they change their attitude at any time.

However, some who were complacent were still unaware of the huge trend.

Around that time, Artan calmly declared.

“A standing vote.”

Completely reversed tone.

His voice was stronger than ever.

The opponents looked at him as dumb as hell.

“Those who have objections should stand up immediately.”

***

Small town Glenver.

A place full of sorrow and screams still longed for salvation and revelation.

Cries soaring from everywhere.

However, the outrageous gods do not care and rush forward like a flash of light.

Krurruru——!

The guards had fallen like autumn leaves, and the citizens had no way to resist.

The lord castle was no exception.

Kyaaah—!

“That monster…!

The attack of the devil-like praying mantis.

Glanbur’s lord Carlein Glanbur escaped the castle with his entourage.

“Lord! Come this way.”

“Oh, I see.”

A normal ruler would run away alone, but he was a rare faithful man.

I couldn’t leave the citizens behind in this hell.

But there is no way out.

“······There really isn’t a way. There’s a way to defeat those monsters.”

“Unfortunately, that’s the case. You’ve seen it, Lord. Those guys are on a different level.”

“Keuugh… Hurry up.”

“Yes!”

I shouldn’t have suffered a dog’s death here.

You can ask for reinforcements only when you are alive.

Carlaine hurried to the exit of the city.

─But.

They targeted those who tried to escape the city first, to see if they had any weak intelligence left.

“······!”

It was a mistake to see it the same as a normal monster.

Carlaine and his entourage widened their eyes as they saw the onslaught of news.

“No, stop it. Stop that monster quickly!”

“…Yes! Protect the lord!”

The knights in charge of the escort struggled to shake off their fear and raised their swords.

A clash that unfolds within.

Of course, it was not enough.

─────!

If I could have stopped it, I wouldn’t have run away.

But even so.

Isn’t this being pushed too helplessly?

“Lord! Avoid! Hurry up…!”

“······Kwaaah!”

Calane’s eyelids trembled.

Is this really the reality? Doesn’t he think he’s dreaming?

Despair wrapped around his whole body, and he muttered involuntarily.

“Has God abandoned us…”

It may have been a blasphemous remark, but I couldn’t afford to hold back. The muddy, sunken downtown was his everything.

It was the moment when blood and flesh splattered and his head lowered.

His eyes were full of questions.

“······This?”

The floor was black.

To be precise, there was a huge shadow.

Immediately after Carlein took a closer look, a roar came from above his head.

Gooooo——!

The monsters stopped abruptly, and the people’s screams stopped. Their eyes slowly turned upward… And were stunned.

Looking at the existence of the sky, everyone had no choice but to do that.

“It’s a dragon!”

“What… What…?!”

Surprised by someone’s words, Calane looked into the air again.

Pure white vinyl and solid shell.

A being with a tail like steel.

Dragon.

The Silver Dragon King descended to the ground.

From noble mtl dot com

aaa!

First, Breath swept away the rumors that harmed the citizens. The monster flew helplessly at the different degrees of power.

KEAEAK─!

A new scream followed in the street.

It was the painful cry of a monster, not a human. The sword attack of the black knight, who quickly jumped off, followed.

Chow!

“···Dirty blood spurts out.”

The pitch black sword easily cut through the enemy’s skin.

The situation was similar on the other side.

Nell and Duwade dealt with favorable news, and the breath did not stop.

─────!

Mishra walked sideways here and there and put support in the right place.

The charter turned around in an instant.

Kalein, who was absent-minded, suddenly looked over the dragon’s back.

“······Hup!”

I stopped breathing in an instant.

There sat an extremely beautiful woman.

With her hair down like her blue eyes, she looked down at her ground with her ice-cold eyes.

Sadly, I couldn’t keep watching.

It was because the frenzied gods started rampaging.

“Lord!”

“No! We have to stop it!”

The monster who defeated the knights at random rushed to the lord.

A sharp foreleg aimed at Carlaine’s neck.

He had no strength to fight.

“Oops…!”

This is because he was a civil servant who had cultivated only administrative skills since his birth.

Sensing death, he closed his eyes.

But even after a few seconds, death did not come.

Two Kwa Kwa Kwa—!

Instead, only the strange gong sound and the scream of the monster can be heard. Calane slowly opened her eyes.

“···! Oh my God.”

The mouth opened slightly.

A spear made of ice had pierced the monster’s temporal region. He raised his head in bewilderment.

And I was stunned.

“······!”

The woman on the dragon.

A halo shone behind her with two windows floating around her.

The noble beam of light that dazzled her eyes could hardly be seen as human… At that time, a flash of light flashed in her mind.

“Rumors in Kyoguk······ This was definitely the content.”

Then, are these her goddess and her bodyguards?

Calein realized with her thrill.

Salvation has arrived.

·······.

─Get out of here right now.

The decisive battle with disaster is difficult for me alone.

That’s why I needed help, but if I’m going to follow you, I’d rather not have it, so I meant to think carefully.

These words were spoken seriously after much agony.

However, everyone expressed their intention to follow me without any hesitation.

“·······.”

It’s a good phenomenon, but something was subtle.

Did I give you that much trust?

Anyway, considering the seriousness of the situation, we immediately took the best transportation and moved to Glenver.

[Not one person, but five people riding… Because Quilière is there, they look after it.]

Mishragai was beaten, but she was fine.

The horrors of the small town we arrived soon after were bleak.

“······So much news gathering.”

It’s a named monster in its own right.

It was merciless for an ordinary citizen to suffer.

The suppression had to begin immediately.

“Mishra.”

She nodded at my call.

[Okay.]

As the dragon king opened his mouth, his breath blew out.

The noise in the crowd stopped and all eyes were focused on this place.

Next to the appetizer was the main dish.

“Chandra Pale.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been hunting monsters. I’m coming back.”

The black knight jumped to the ground as if on a sortie.

Literally at this height, without any safety equipment.

But since he was a guy, I wasn’t worried at all, and seeing his inaction, it was obvious.

“Wow, he’s definitely strong. Except for the problem with his language skills.”

“I agree. No one can disrespect the Sword Demon with force.”

Nell and Duwade exchanging a few words.

My chilling chanting is not over yet.

“Nell.”

“Ugh. No problem! Just leave it to me.”

“Dew Wade.”

“I will save the unclean beings. Please watch from this lofty sky.”

The two people who dared to return each word were dispatched.

Even this much is an incredible amount of power.

I called the last one.

“Paley.”

“… Yes?!”

The little girl was startled.

She waved her hands and talked gibberish.

“Me, me, me?! Are you jumping? Ha, but I have neither prejudice nor strength— kyaa!”

“Be careful.”

He must have been quite flustered. Her

I caught her when she almost fell.

“Wow, wow… Phew.”

Paley let out a sigh of relief.

Then she trembled her lips again, as if she was uneasy.

“Sister, please lower the altitude please…”

“No, I’m not sending you.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“Yeah. Just stay here.”

An ordinary girl can’t help on that battlefield.

Actually, she might have been better off staying at her Snow Castle, but she joined at her own behest.

Well, her cuteness is quite helpful.

I’d suffocate to death if there were dull kids like Chandra Fail or Duwaid.

“Wait a minute.”

I looked down.

Fierce battle unfolds rapidly.

I prepared for the danger that the children could not avoid.

By the way.

“······There is nothing in particular.”

He fights surprisingly well.

He had a much more serious attitude than usual and there were no loopholes in his attacks, so for some reason he felt a sense of elegance.

Why is this? It’s not like anyone is watching.

Truly, not everyone is capable.

“They’re done for now.”

I turned my eyes toward the citizens.

At that time, a praying mantis jabsin clashing with knights in armor was captured.

I didn’t seem to last long, so I immediately cast Memorize.

Two Kwa Kwa Kwa—!

Without preparation or chanting, an ice spear was immediately ejected and pierced him.

It was also a practical ability befitting a sacred object.

Japshin, who was stabbed at a weak point, wriggled while lying down.

─────!

It’s noisy, but I managed to neutralize it.

That’s enough.

Since the other kids could handle it easily, I had to use the remaining mana efficiently.

“······· Ah.”

Suddenly, a halo came to mind.

A scheme of disaster that covered the entire continent. This situation needed to run fast.

“Because you don’t know what more crazy things he’ll do.”

However, the odds of running to the landfill right away were low.

I had to figure out how the continent was going and how to deal with the disaster.

A halo would be quite useful here.

Faith is a great help if you can use it.

“I’m being misunderstood as a saint or something…”

Using just one skill makes people more cooperative. There was no reason to give up.

Gladly activated the halo.

Hwaaah—!

An enveloping glow.

I was not a saint anyway, and the final boss was my opponent, so I could turn a blind eye to the brief interest.

Gradually, the eyes of the citizens gathered.

─·······!

Even if I couldn’t hear his voice, it was easy to guess his emotions just from his expression.

All eyes were filled with astonishment.

It was the moment when I shifted my eyes while feeling both trembling and delightful at the same time.

“Huh?”

In front of the lord’s castle.

A middle-aged man with a beard was looking up in awe.

Anyone can see that this is a high-ranking position.

“Are you the lord of Glanver?”

Then it was perfect.

If you are a lord, the information gap with the citizens will be huge.

I needed to talk once.

“······ Of course, eradicate all maggots.”

Those who don’t like everything, from the way they look to the screams they make.

The expression “Troublesome” Fits perfectly.

My eyes went dark.
