Episode 426 Night Walkers (2)
Dolores Tudor Sancho Piggy entered the tent.
There, Xindi Wendy, the sponsor of Nightwalkers, was sitting with a serious expression on her face.
Sin D Wendy. Aide appointed by Vikir and lover of Osiris and Baskerville.
She generously used her enormous assets to buy a huge amount of relief goods.
Preserved food and drinking water bought from all over the empire are still arriving.
What is even more surprising is that Xindi Wendy has been working on this for several years.
Considering that Tochka Fort had enough supplies to feed the entire empire for several months, it could be seen that Vikir’s plan had been in effect for a very long time.
Even before Bikir appeared in the ecliptic under the alias of the night hound.
However, even Sindi Wendy in the world was not fully aware of Vikir’s intentions.
It was the same for Chihuahua and Minpin, who became Sindy Wendy’s left and right hands and was in charge of all tasks.
“Why did Bikir-sama ask to gather refugees here in the high mountains? It’s been years and I still don’t know.”
“Do they understand? No matter how close we are, he won’t give us his side, so we can’t fully understand his insides. Shouldn’t we just do what he tells us to do?”
They were talking about this and that, and when Dolores and other Colosseo Academy graduates entered, they turned their heads and looked at Sindi Wendy.
Eventually, Sindi Wendy opened her closed eyes and asked Dolores.
“Is the Shinhwa production going well?”
Dolores nodded at her question.
“Yes. I created the concept of ‘ark’ anew. I’m preaching to the people that those who come here to Tochika can be saved.”
However, Dolores’ expression was a bit dark as she spoke.
In fact, the fact that you can be saved by coming to Tochika is not something in the Book of Revelation or ancient texts.
This was the result of a myth artificially created and manipulated by several high-ranking priests of the Quo Vadis family, including Dolores and Martin Luther, to make it easier to bring refugees to Tochka.
‘……I was honestly surprised. I never thought Pope Nabokov would allow this.’
When Dolores announced this plan, prepared to receive divine punishment, Pope Nabokov I laughed lightly and nodded.
‘If there is no such myth, we can create it. All myths did not exist from the beginning, but were created by humans. God respects man’s free will, my dear.’
When Nabokov finished speaking, he ended his speech by stroking Dolores’ head.
‘Your steps will soon become a myth and will be recorded in the scriptures.’
Nabokov I gave Dolores all the remaining powers other than those needed for civil war.
full trust.
That’s why the night walkers were able to safely roam across the continent with the secret support of the temples of Quo Vadis located throughout the empire.
……Of course, Quo Vadis wasn’t the only one helping the night walkers.
morgue. bourgeois. And unexpectedly, secret support was coming from the Baskervilles as well.
The Banshee of the Morgue family, the Love Bad of the Bourgeois family, Mozgoose of the Quo Vadis family, and Isabella of the Baskerville family were the ones who helped the most.
Sending goods, dispatching personnel to protect the movement of goods, or various information about areas where battles are taking place or areas where monsters appear.
In this way, thanks to the supporters and helpers distributed in all walks of life, the night walkers can survive.
In addition to that, many other characters, such as Gordon, who was entangled with Bikir in Naraksu, and Lovegood, whom he met in the Underdog University League, were already working for the Night Walkers.
Regardless of the civil war, vigilantes who only target the common people, citizens.
This informal group, which uses force without hesitation in situations where force is required, is the Night Walkers.
Meanwhile, Xindi Wendy was examining the maps on the table.
Dolores asked.
“Is everything going well on the West Continent?”
“Hmm? Ahh. Don’t worry. The Baskervilles are fully cooperating. The Balak tribes have reappeared, so there’s no problem with trade.”
At the end of the answer, Xindi Wendy added something as if she remembered something.
“Ah, I thought of it when I was talking about Balak… It seems that a new guardian deity has appeared over there these days. They say he’s quite a ‘reliable friend’.”
strong friend?
Everyone tilted their heads at those words, but Xindi Wendy didn’t seem to know the details either.
Eventually, she finally got to the point.
“Oh, the reason I requested a meeting today is no different… It’s about food and drinking water.”
Even before Bikir entered the academy, he had ordered Sindi Wendy to fortify Tochka here.
Therefore, Xindi Wendy spent almost all of the money she earned so far on purchasing preserved food and drinking water.
The food and drinking water stockpiled in such a way could feed the entire refugee population for over three months.
But even so, Xindi Wendy was impatient.
“At least 150 days for Bikir. I told you to collect enough to last five months. That means there’s still not enough.”
These days, it is getting harder and harder to buy food and drinking water.
This is because the price of food and drinking water was skyrocketing due to famine, drought, massive forest fires, and monster outbreaks.
“I’m saving money to buy it, but it’s getting harder and harder.”
Dolores made a worried expression at Sindy Wendy’s words.
“It’s okay. Mr. Xindi Wendy’s wealth won’t be infinite. It’s something I’m so grateful for, but I’m also concerned about.”
“what?”
Then Sindi Wendy looked at Dolores as if she was talking about something.
And laughed out loud.
“Ahahaha- what are you talking about, saintess. I’m Xindi Wendy. Aren’t you underestimating my wealth? I have plenty of money. I haven’t spent even 10% of it yet, so don’t worry.”
“Yes? Then why…?”
Everyone, including Dolores, widened their eyes.
Xindi Wendy pointed to the map with a thoughtful expression and revealed the real reason.
“We can buy food and drinking water. Just double the price and triple the price. There’s no problem securing supplies… The problem is distribution and supply.”
distribution and dissemination. This too is an important issue.
Food and drinking water can be procured from afar.
The real big problem is how to transport them all the way to Tochika here in the North Continent.
It’s a long and tough journey, but there is no answer if you encounter even a horde of monsters and forest fires midway through.
So Sindy Wendy has been gathering food and drinking water with the help of powerful mercenaries or knights from the Baskervilles and Morgues.
However, in recent years, the amount of food and drinking water reaching Tochka has decreased noticeably.
“Some of my subordinates are currently stashing a huge amount of food and drinking water in the base and just watching. Because there are new guys blocking the supply route.”
Xindi Wendy pointed to the X-shaped marks marked on the map and said.
They were secret supply routes leading to Tochika Fortress here.
“Seeing that all of them are blocking the road to Tochika, it’s quite intentional. They probably know that we have a hideout here and are trying to hold their breath.”
“Who are they?”
Tudor asked impatiently.
If it was a horde of bandits or monsters, it would have already been destroyed by the mercenaries hired by Sindi Wendy.
However, even so, the fact that there is a setback in supply means that the level of obstacle is not normal.
Sindi Wendy stared at Tudor’s face without answering.
“…”
“……?”
“…”
“……!”
At the end of the silence, a bleak shadow fell under Tudor’s eyes.
“Could it be the Donquixote family’s pursuit team?”
At Tudor’s question, Xindi Wendy nodded.
Tudor left his family and there was a chasing party after him.
Don Quixote La Mancha Pasamonte.
The younger brother of Cervantes, the head of the Don Quixote family, and the uncle of Tudor.
He was a person frantic to completely eliminate Tudor and sit in the seat of the family head.
It seemed that he had noticed that Tudor had left his family and joined the Nightwalkers and was pursuing him.
Sindi Wendy said while stroking the owl’s head with a green-gold ribbon.
“I heard that the Don Quixote family’s ‘Invincible Cavalry’ is searching the area.”
“……!”
“If you track the refugee procession to Fort Tochka or the route of the food supply corps, it’s only a matter of time before they get caught. Besides, there was also a myth created and distributed by the Quo Vadis family, so it’s a miracle that they haven’t been caught up to now. Nobody’s paying attention to this place because they’re busy with the civil war. Was it luck that I couldn’t afford it?”
In fact, from the point of view of demons, there is no reason to pay attention to this place.
This is because it is self-evident that it is a place where only refugees gather and water is not available, so it will not last long.
Of course, they don’t know how much food and drinking water Sindi Wendy has stored in this fortress.
that’s the only variable.
But now that variable has been exposed.
Because of Tudor’s existence!
“……After all, it’s because of me.”
Tudor lowered his head with a sad expression. “This place shouldn’t be discovered early because of me. I’ll leave this place as soon as possible
and divert
their attention elsewhere…”
Dolores interrupted Tudor.
Xindi Wendy also nodded.
It means trusting and trusting Dolores.
Dolores, who took over the right to speak from Sindi Wendy, opened her mouth in a calm voice.
“This means that the moment of decisive battle has arrived.”
“……!”
Tudor raised his head. Dolores spoke again.
“You are our fellow Tudor. We think of you as you think of us.”
“…”
Tudor’s eyes moistened.
Dolores continued talking while looking around the crowd.
“The demons won’t leave this place alone anyway. We must fight them now that they finally start to show their teeth. It doesn’t matter if you’re ready or not. You can’t sit back and take it.”
Sancho and Piggy also agreed with her.
“If Donquixote sent a chase party…the main base would be empty.”
“Rather, it might be an opportunity. Assassinate a key person!”
Living in a harsh and fiercely changed world, these two were also quite skilled.
Dolores said with firm determination.
“This time, instead of relying only on Bikir-nim, let’s do it ourselves. Let’s catch Don Quixote, La Mancha, Pasamonte, or ‘Four Poems’!”
Those who have inherited Vikir’s will must go on a demon hunt.
None of the Nightwalkers objected to this.
Sindi Wendy opened her mouth.
“I’m talking about the old lady. Everyone remembers the case where they tried to assassinate the head of the Leviathan family but failed? Even the ‘Night Fox’ and ‘Miss Ouroboros’, which were strong enough to rival the ‘Night Hound’, didn’t succeed. It’s an assassination.”
It’s a fact that everyone knows, but the atmosphere suddenly becomes more cautious.
“Bikir did. They say demons get stronger as time goes by. They must be a lot stronger now that it’s been years since Vikir went demon hunting. So you have to be extremely careful…”
Just then,
someone interrupted Sindi Wendy.
“It’s a big deal!”
A knight running from outside with a contemplative face lifted
the curtain . “Outside, the cavalry of the Don Quixote family appeared a few kilometers ahead!”
Everyone’s expressions hardened at that statement.
But that was not the end of the bad news.
“The ‘Night Sniper’ returning to the fortress, the cavalry
We are under siege!”
He is the only one among those who walk the night who wears the nickname ‘Sniper of the Night
.
‘ ”
While everyone was hurriedly kicking off their seats and getting up toward the door
… Kwak!
There was a man who broke down the wall and ran away early.
His name was Tudor. He
was a man without a last name.
