[ Episode 283. Organize and start]
“What happened? There are a lot of billions of people coming today.”
Old Hans, who finished organizing the phrases, straightened his back and said.
His eyes were on the new strangers slowly walking in from a distance.
“Isn’t that what’s going to happen?”
“We just need to be quietly crouched.”
As Hans headed for the warehouse carrying the fishing gear casually organized on his back, the young men followed Hans, looking at the strangers with anxious eyes.
Soon after, Hans put down the fishing gear in the storage room and said, looking at the young men who followed and left the fishing gear behind.
“No matter what happens, don’t step out. okay?”
“Okay, old man.”
At that time, before Hans could finish his words, a commotion came from outsiders.
The young men who were arranging fishing gear in the warehouse at the sudden noise rushed out of the warehouse and checked their movements.
“Why, why, all of a sudden!”
“Hey, let’s just ignore Hans and go into the warehouse.”
“no. Do you think they will fight? Isn’t the whole village destroyed?”
“Then what are you going to do! Do you want to go dry?”
While the young men were confused, Hans quietly stepped out.
“Everyone is locked up in the warehouse. Don’t go with me.”
“Old man!”
The young men urgently tried to block it, but Hans headed to the place where the commotion broke out with his confident security.
Soon after arriving at the place where the commotion occurred, Hans looked around in a bewildered manner in the surprisingly quiet situation.
“Eak.”
A cold chill rose.
Confirming that it was a cold war rather than quiet, Hans quietly walked to a corner of the building and watched the situation.
“I want you to explain why you blocked us.”
The first to speak were the strangers who had just arrived.
They were blocked by the first people in mercenary outfits who arrived, but the mercenaries shook their hands and tried to put on a bright expression.
“We arrived first and were preparing for the celebration, but we came too soon! Hey, I didn’t expect you to come this soon. I had a hard time coming.”
Rather, he asked with a cold expression.
“Why did you stop us? Is the plan wrong? Or did you decide to exclude us?”
“no no! Hey, it’s really hard to explain this, but why don’t you wait a little while here? The captain will come soon.”
In the atmosphere that was gradually becoming more and more violent, someone finally approached.
He was the man who had just asked for directions and handed over the money.
“How are you?”
“Muto Kinein.”
A cold voice called the name of the approaching man.
Then the man, Muto, kicked his men.
Fuck!
“Gagging! Captain?”
“Why are you guys blocking the path of our precious expedition teammates? Clear the way quickly!”
When Muto started kicking his subordinates, the other side couldn’t say anything anymore and moved on.
Muto, who was kicking his subordinates, soon found Hans hiding in a corner of a building.
“Brother, what are you doing there?”
“I came to see if Sadal would happen. haha.”
“Eh, we’re not bullies either. When you’re done watching, leave.”
“Draw and draw.”
Hans sighed in relief and turned around.
However, his relief soon collapsed.
Kwajak!
Hans looked back at the sound of something breaking loudly.
Soon, Muto was seen screaming and running away.
“damn! I knew that!”
Koo Goo Goo!
With a roar, the tavern building, which had been intact a moment before, collapsed.
Hans stood blankly at the unreal sight.
“What is that?”
One building collapsed.
It wasn’t enough, the explosion and roar were still there, and even the ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Ah…”
Hans had no choice but to sit down like a collapsed building.
**
“You are the future of our church!”
One of the reasons why I did not hide my identity on this expedition.
One was just for this situation.
Kwagwagwang———!
The magic raged and shattered my surroundings.
But none of them could hurt me.
The man who seemed to be an official of the Zefar Church was a very talented wizard, but I stood at the opposite end of most wizards.
– Bend over.
The willless projectile just naturally missed my body.
Spaw!
In the meantime, Vivian, whose eyes were turned upside down, frantically slaughtered the Zefar fanatics.
The guys resisted as well, but unless the Aura Master comes out, they won’t be able to stop Vivian.
“Adrias Cromwell!”
Muto, who came running late, turned on the light in his eyes and called my name.
At his name, I shrugged my shoulders with both hands outstretched.
“I am doing nothing.”
“This shit! hey! You bastard, don’t stop using magic right now!”
Muto’s target was directed at an officer of Zefar.
But from the moment the executive figured out my identity, it had been a long time since the taste had gone.
I’m just engulfed in anger and burning myself.
“die! Die Adrias Cromwell!”
“ha.”
Seogung –
Took!
With Muto’s sigh, the magic pouring in all directions finally stopped.
And Muto’s greatsword, which he had wielded before he knew it, was shining so cleanly that it didn’t have a drop of blood on it.
In the end, Muto, who personally dealt with the Zefar executive himself, spoke to me through gnashing of teeth.
“A little while ago, I should have told you to hide for a while.”
“I never answered that. Whatever I do, it’s my heart.”
“Looking at it now, it was on purpose. Ha ha, I’m going crazy.”
Originally, I tried to kill myself, but the result was the same.
Rather, it is like getting on the same boat by killing Muto.
Muto looked at me with a disappointed expression.
What he said wasn’t particularly wrong, so I just quietly called for Vivian.
“Vivian, that’s enough.”
At my words, Vivian immediately stopped killing and returned to me.
She complied with my order, but the bloody madness was still visible in her eyes.
I quietly talked to Muto while waiting for Vivian to calm down.
“What are you going to do now, Muto Kinein?”
“What do you do? Now that things have happened like this, I have no choice but to push them away.”
The forces of the Zefar Church that had just arrived had a sudden battle as soon as they arrived, and their numbers were greatly reduced due to Vivian’s attack.
Muto, who noticed that the relationship had already been twisted, immediately glanced at his subordinates.
“Just kill them all.”
When his order came down, the mercenaries moved in order as if they had been waiting.
It looked like a murder weapon.
Is it the Kinein Mercenary Corps?
“Cheak!”
“Ouch!”
“If Zefar-sama forgives you guys…heuk!”
The village was instantly covered with the thick scent of blood.
Looking at the wreckage of collapsed buildings and dozens of corpses, it looked as if a war had been fought.
“Please, I was going to go on an expedition quietly, but it looks like it was advertised in the neighborhood. Now that this is the case, the expedition to the ruins will be completed in the shortest time.”
Muto said to his subordinates with a poop-chewed expression.
Then he turned his gaze back to me.
“If you think that I will be scared because of the status of an imperial count, you are mistaken, child. I am the owner of the Trouban Islands. If you invent one more nonsense like this, I’ll take your neck. Got it?”
“Remember.”
Now that it’s what I wanted, I should at least speak kindly.
I called Luna, who was watching the corpses of the dead fanatics.
“Luna, please.”
“okay!”
As I said before coming, Luna gathered the souls of the fanatics.
Muto took a close look at Luna and I’s sudden action, and let out a blank laugh.
“Earl Cromwell, now that I see it, you’ve made up your mind?”
“I killed their incarnation. We are no longer able to live under the same sky.”
“So what are you going to do after collecting their souls? After all, they are a point organization.”
“If it’s dot tissue, you can break all the dots.”
I smiled at Muto’s absurd expression.
“It’s a little annoying, but I have that much power.”
“You’re crazy.”
Then, during the commotion, Paish’s party, who had been away for a while, returned.
It seems that he went to the dock to find a boat and came back in a hurry.
“What the hell is this……”
“Was it unexpected? Those are the people you brought.”
Muto laughed and Paisy shook his head.
“I had enough negotiating items to mediate. But if you make things like this…”
“It’s a pity, but we all fell for Count Cromwell’s tricks. Now, Zefar’s side will regard all the people who participated in this expedition as enemies.”
“Why did you kill me!”
“So you’re saying we should leave the fussing guy alone? The ruins expedition is more important to me than Zefar.”
Muto said with glistening eyes.
“I am the mercenary king. You know very well what a price it would cost to hire me. I moved myself because of the stake in the ruins, but I have to watch things go wrong because of these fanatics?”
“If you wait a little bit, I will intercede…”
“Again, I am the mercenary king.”
thud!
Muto slammed his great sword on the floor.
At that bloody momentum, Paisy also kept her mouth shut and just glared at him.
“There is a limit to being patient, how dare you ignore me in front of me and scream? To be honest, I want to cut down Earl Cromwell over there as well, but I’m holding back.”
At Muto’s words, Vivian’s seal was about to be lifted again.
I said while carefully holding Vivian’s shoulder.
“As an apology, I will give you 10% of my share in the ruins.”
“…… The words still don’t bother me at all.”
Muto’s words eased the atmosphere.
Looking at the Kinein mercenaries who were preparing for battle even then, it is certain that they are famous mercenaries.
“for a moment. I’m saying this because I’m talking about the stake, but who gets the stake on the Zefar side?”
“It should be evenly distributed. Jefar’s stake is 15%, so we can divide it equally.”
Pysh waved his hand in response.
“Rather than that, things have turned out this way, so I need to start quickly.”
“The scene hasn’t come yet.”
“As you said, now is not the time to think of other factions. And Sin originally planned to join Zefar. But it’s suspicious that they didn’t come.”
Muto’s expression became strange when he said that the scene hadn’t arrived.
And the news meant a lot to me too.
I looked at Agatha so as not to show it.
She was with Noah, and her breathing was strangely irregular, perhaps because of Sin’s story.
‘Agatha could be a spy.’
When Paishy first contacted her, she said that the Lucifer family knew about the ruins.
Lucifer is a family of vampires, each with the strength of a named character.
It was also the hometown of Angela and Isabelle.
As far as I know, the upper echelons of Sin are related to the Lucifer family, so it seemed safe to assume that both Sin and Lucifer were after us.
“Anyway, there is no such thing as an easy solution. Didn’t you get hit in the back on the way out after exploring the ruins?”
Muto, who had the same thought as me, spat it out of his mouth.
But Paisy didn’t particularly deny his expectations.
“It would be better to assume that and proceed with the expedition. In the first place, I proposed to Lucifer as a shareholder, but it was rejected. Anyway, Lucifer also knew the information, so he asked me to go in with him, but he seems to want to eat alone over there.”
“Lucipel is a little tricky…”
“So you’re not going?”
“What are you talking about? If you have to, you can get on a boat and fight in the sea. We are the owners of the Truburn Islands.”
Muto said confidently and then chined one of his subordinates.
“Go and call Shahi Shamad. Tell me you’re leaving right away.”
“yep!”
It got complicated, but it didn’t matter anyway.
Once inside the ruins, I have an absolute advantage.
It was fine as long as you were careful when it came out as Muto said.
“Wouldn’t it be better for the person to be absent now, Earl Cromwell?”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“If I thank you, will you fall for a bit?”
“I’m grateful, so I’ll stay and help.”
“I really don’t like that.”
To Muto who grumbled, I just added another word to suppress his spirit.
“Oh, come to think of it, Maximin asked me to say his regards.”
“……Why does that nobleman send his regards through you?”
“We see each other often.”
“……The Counts of the Empire are very diverse. It’s not enough to play around with black magicians, so I often meet Maximin, a wanted criminal from the Empire…
”
“It’s great.”
It was quite nice to see Muto shaking his head and walking away.
Maximin never said hello, but I know the two of you know each other.
‘By the way…….’
As I moved to get on the boat, I quietly looked at Agatha.
The betrayal of a playable character you never thought of.
I needed some more time to think.
