I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Chapter 433

◈ 433. [Side Story] People leaving

… i thought i saw it road to clear.

From the very next day, I ran into trouble.

“I hate it! I hate going to see my son!”

When I asked to deliver the horse to the king of the dwarves, Kelly Bey vehemently refused.

No, your son is the king of the dwarf clan… … I didn’t even know about this setting.

Dusk Bringer, who followed Kelly Bay as she clutched her head and screamed, explained.

“I don’t know if you know it, but dwarves are extremely individualistic. In other words… He hates public office.”

“Ah, such individualism… ?”

“After the Tribal War, the dwarfs were scattered, but everyone was reluctant to entrust the throne of the ruined country. When the right of succession to the throne, which drifted like that, reached the Kelly Bay brothers, this dwarf… … .”

Dusk Bringer gestured to Kelly Bay.

“… I ran away with my brothers. He organized a gold branch mining team to dig up the ‘golden branch’ that only remains in legends.”

No, the reason I was digging for metal under this lake wasn’t just out of curiosity or a sense of adventure… … Was it to escape from the succession to the throne?

Dusk Bringer finished the explanation.

“The throne, which had been drifting like that, was eventually decided when the fourth son of Kellibey was decided to succeed. So now the Dwarf King is Kellibey’s fourth son.”

I looked at Kelly Bay in amazement.

“You have four sons?!”

Kelly Bay sighed and shook her head.

“I also have four daughters.”

“No, you have many children?! What are you doing here without supporting the kids!”

Like these irresponsible parents! Please write to your children at least half the love you pour into metal!

“I wish I had fed and nurtured them all until they reached adulthood… Originally, dwarves grew up on their own since they were 12 years old.”

“Ugh. This is the culture of the dwarves… … .”

Well, different cultures have different ways of living. I guess it’s not a problem

“Besides, everyone must be fifty now. My youngest son must be around forty.”

“… Ah, dwarves were long-lived, too.”

I get very confused because the concept of age is a bit different from this neighborhood.

Shaking her head, Kelly Bay struggled on her limbs.

“Anyway, I can’t go! no go! I’m going to be banging on my gear for the rest of my life here!”

“Oh, don’t do that! Go and see your son’s face for the first time in a while! Tell me some of my stories! yes?”

But Kelly Bay covers her ears and stays still, squatting inside the smithy. This old man’s stubbornness… … .

At that time, Dusk Bringer, who was smiling beside me, opened his mouth in a coy tone.

“All races except for the dwarves have already decided to gather. If only your people don’t gather… … Wouldn’t that be a bit ridiculous?”

“What?!”

Kelly Bay’s eyes were bloody white.

“All other races gather… ?!”

“Yes. Mermaids, beasts, fairies you hate, and even dragons gather together. Only dwarves fall for it… … .”

Dusk Bringer clicked his tongue and shrugged.

“Well, how can you discuss the world with these short, narrow-minded fat people? Come to think of it, you’re right to fall for it. Scratch your stomach at home and play with your favorite piece of metal.”

“Oh, don’t be ridiculous! Dwarves have pride, so how can we just fall for them!”

Kelly Bay roared, resolutely kicking off her seat.

“good night! Back after a long time, with my sons, my daughters, and my mom and my wife! I will come to see you all! damn it! You won’t have to go, if you go! So don’t leave us alone!”

Dusk Bringer whispered in my ear as he gestured toward Kelly Bay.

“… Racial pride is high on an individualistic subject. So if you scratch it a little, it will be like this.”

“grandee. Every time the Grand Duke shows such an appearance, I deeply realize that he is the king of the duchy.”

The skill of grilling and boiling is not common. I was genuinely amazed.

Kelly Bay, grumbling, looked at me.

“So what exactly am I supposed to tell you?”

“Go, son… Please deliver this letter to the Dwarf King. That will do.”

I gave Kelly Bay the letter I had prepared in advance.

“If you come to Crossroads on the day of departure, we will send you the presents we prepared along with our escort troops.”

“hmm… okay. Wouldn’t it be better to go faster?”

“Sure.”

“okay. Then, let’s finish the equipment we were making and go right away.”

Kelly Bay sighed and glanced at me.

“You really treat me frugally, Ash.”

I grinned. Of course, you should write everything you can write.

Quylan was preparing to leave right away.

“Baro shop Kuylan? You can move more freely.”

“Hehe. Isn’t there a saying that even an ox horn should be plucked with sweet seaweed? And I have a lot of places to stop by.”

After tying the laces of his boots, Quylan jerked his body up.

“Beast tribes are scattered all over the world. As you know, not only wolves, but also bears, tigers, foxes and so on. There are several.”

I groaned at Quylan’s explanation.

“Then there is no existence that can be called the king of the entire race. How can we unite the consensus of the tribe?”

“Each tribe has a chieftain. I plan to visit them one by one and convince them.”

“Oh persuasion? how?”

Then Quylan grinned and raised his fist.

Oh, that persuasion… … ?

“Sometimes it is faster to share a fist than a hundred words. Our prisoners are like that… … Just leave it to me. But I think it will take some time.”

Quylan nodded heavily.

“and… I’ll stop by my hometown and get some of that maple tree. Please don’t worry and wait.”

“I’ll trust and wait, Kuylan.”

“Hehe. There seems to be quite a bit of trust between us now, right?”

“of course. You are a man I can trust and entrust my back to.”

When I said it with all my heart, Quylan silently raised his thick red eyebrows and smiled.

He packed his things lightly and set off alone, taking only the members of the penal unit with him. It’s because I’m the type to move without any superfluity.

The back of Quylan, who was walking with his silver leather cloak fluttering, looked like a real king thanks to his magnificent physique.

‘… I’m no longer the bandit king.’

I chuckled.

‘I don’t know if I should call him the Beast King… … .’

And right after Quylan leaves.

“Where did you go-!”

One beat later, Yoon jumped out.

She came out so hurriedly that she was wearing pajamas and her characteristic ivory hair was messy.

While staying at the Crossroads, even the Northern Wolf, which had been tied up and unused, came out swiftly.

I asked Yoon, who was looking around ferociously.

“Who are you talking about?”

“Quylan, Quylan! You were supposed to move with me while on the way!”

ah.

Why did Kuylan strangely leave in such a hurry? Did Yoon run away because he felt burdened? … .

It wasn’t something that could be hidden, so when I told him that Quylan had left a while ago, Yun gritted his teeth.

“Oh really… After leaving my hometown, I’m only getting kicked by men, damn it!”

“… .”

Since I was one of those cold men, I laughed awkwardly.

“Now that this is the case, I will pursue you even if you are going to come. I’ll go too, Your Highness Ash!”

“yes? right now? The people of the Northern Kingdom decided to leave in a few days… … .”

“I learned something after being dumped by you.”

Yoon growled ferociously.

“A man’s heart is like a reed, and if you don’t catch it in time, it will leave right away!”

“… .”

“You think you’ll just live by losing? Arian Yoon! I can’t be like that! So go first! Tell my men to come after me quickly!”

Taat-!

The wolf riding Yuni nimbly followed in the direction Quilan had left. I quietly waved my hand towards it and shouted.

“Please spread the word to the northern kingdoms as well~”

What about Kuilan? Good luck… … .

Quylan is oddly popular and Yun is oddly popular, so it seems difficult to establish a relationship. It’s a matter for the two of you to figure out.

Belldandi is ready to leave with the Holy Grail Expedition.

“Oh.”

She was dressed in traditional elven ceremonial clothes, not the tight adventurer’s outfit she always wore, and made a sound of embarrassment involuntarily because she was unfamiliar with it.

Wearing a loose-fitting green dress and long ears with fancy decorations, Verdandi smiled at me.

He cherished the sapling of the World Tree in his arms.

“Are my clothes awkward? It might look old-fashioned because it was a style from a hundred years ago.”

“No, Belldandy. It suits you very well.”

Well, I’ve only seen him as a fighting warrior… … Looking at her like this, she really looks like a fairy princess.

“The elven district and homeland… I’m going to listen to both. It’s been a while since I’ve put on a ceremonial robe with care.”

Even though she was embarrassed, Belldandy seemed to like the way she dressed herself.

The glasswork that hung over her eyebrows glittered. With three tear marks in a row, she smiled.

“So, as Ash-sama’s messenger… What can I tell my queen?”

“Give me this letter. And my gift to your kind… … I put it on the backs of these children.”

After I handed over the letter, I gestured and five animals that had been grazing in the fields around the Crossroads approached.

It was a large deer like a horse.

Belldandy asked with a surprised face.

“What about these children?”

“Long ago, when the Fairy Queen visited Crossroads, she left it behind. He told me to come ride when you come back sometime.”

“… .”

Belldandi, speechless, swept the deer’s neck. The deer let out a low cry as if the fairy’s touch was pleasant.

“Don’t be too nervous, Belldandy. Your sister will be ready to accept you more than you think.”

“… That would be nice.”

Belldandi jumped on top of the deer first. The rest of the Holy Grail Expedition members also climbed onto other deer.

“I’ll be back, Mr. Ash.”

“Come on, Belldandi.”

I waved.

“I’ll be waiting for good news.”

“yes. certainly.”

After bowing one last time, Belldandi drove the deer and headed forward.

Tap-Dag-Dag-Dag-

The five deer rode the five elves and moved away in an instant. I was watching the back view.

May Verdandy bring a good answer from the Fairy Queen. and.

I hope that the two can reconcile amicably.

“Thank you for relying on me. ash.”

The person who stayed by my side all the time while letting the other emissaries go.

It was time for Dusk Bringer to depart as well.

A series of troops, including four knights under her direct command, were loading wagons and horses and preparing to depart.

Beside him, she smiled wryly and looked at me.

“Anyway, isn’t it too much to entrust most of the small countries in the south and west to me?”

“I only apologize for bothering you, Grand Duke.”

Dusk Bringer was entrusted with contacting most of the neighboring minor states.

There was no one more qualified for this job than she, who had reigned as the king of the Principality of Bringer for a long time.

Although not as much as the Empire’s home country, the Principality of Bringer was also a country that had enormous influence in the south and west.

“Whoops. what good Anyway, my luck is already here on the southern front… … And since I am with you.”

And Dusk Bringer readily took on the role.

Even though she is also a king, she plays the role of my messenger, the commander of the southern front… … it was meant to be self-inflicted.

After a little hesitation, he asked.

“I’m so sorry for asking with my own mouth, Grand Duke. Why are you helping me so much?”

“Hmm?”

Then Dusk Bringer made a mischievous look on his young face and said,

“When all the world abandoned me and my country. It was only you and your city that reached out.”

Unexpectedly, he replied in a serious tone.

“Whether it’s favor or resentment, what you receive is doubled back. That’s the dragon’s way.”
