Chapter 354. Pungka proudly (1)
Whoo! Whoo!
Bone Dragon Yongyong’s huge wings stirred the air.
A gust of wind blew up over the southwestern slopes of the Pantara Mountains at the mighty flap of its wings.
Lloyd raised his head with his hair fluttering in the gust of wind.
“Ah, the weather Joota.”
Is this the warm sunlight that has been around for a while?
It felt like all the skin cells on my face, on the nape of my neck, were doing a tap dance of joy.
‘It’s been almost 11 months.’
In the meantime, I’ve been using time freeze.
The problem was that the Pantara Mountains stood like a folding screen, blocking almost all direct sunlight.
“Thanks to that, I hardly got to sunbathe except for the construction of the down-bound line that crossed our mountain range. Right?”
“It was.”
Did the long-awaited sunbathing make you feel better?
Xaviel also smiled faintly.
“Actually, even when we were working on the outbound line after the test run, there were clouds in the southern sky, so we couldn’t enjoy the sunlight properly because the clouds belonged to a realm where time stopped. It’s because someone caught the timing to stop time like that.”
“…hmm so is that my fault? Why is it that everyone on the site has no sunlight, so their faces are sunken?”
“That’s an accurate summary. I’m glad you seem to understand.”
“Why are you trying not to lose a word these days?”
“no.”
“then?”
“I haven’t lost in a long time.”
“….”
“By the way, Mr. Lloyd.”
“uh.”
“Can we ride the Yongyong Sutra like this?”
Xaviel’s faint smile disappeared.
Instead, a look of concern appeared on his face.
“The kingdom of Veneto on the other side of the mountains. You must be very surprised by the sudden appearance of Lord Yongyong.”
“Perhaps?”
“Yes, that is what I am saying.”
“Riding into the territory of the Kingdom of Veneto, which is an obvious foreign country, without any prior consultation or notice, may cause an international dispute…Are you really worried about this?”
“As expected, that’s an accurate summary.”
Even knowing that, why is this nobleman like this?
Xaviel looked at Lloyd with questioning eyes.
Lloyd smirked, brushing his bangs blowing in the wind.
“There are many reasons, but to sum it up in one…Because it works.”
“Is that okay?”
“You can’t touch us in the Kingdom of Veneto anyway. Because of the overwhelming power difference. Besides, they won’t be prepared for the bone dragon at all.”
“but….”
“know. It must be an act that goes against international diplomatic conventions. It could be a careless act that not only incurs opposition from the Kingdom of Veneto, but also inflames the tension and wariness of the Magentano royal family in the rest of the neighboring countries. If I misbehave.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to behave appropriately?”
“of course.”
Lloyd shrugged.
And in the far southwest, I looked at the capital of the kingdom of Veneto, which had begun to appear as a dot.
“Actually, at first, I also thought about visiting the Veneto royal family very moderately and calmly, except for Yongyong. But he didn’t like that.”
“Why did you say you didn’t like it?”
“Because it seems cumbersome and cumbersome.”
Lloyd’s answer continued through a smirk.
“lets think. That’s right. What if we go alone? We came from the Magentano royal family, so blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. In addition, why did the peak of the Pantara Mountains be demolished, what was the intention, whether there was an intention to invade, whether King Alicia sent it, and so on. You will be very tired.”
“but….”
“know. that it is a necessary procedure. But it’s annoying and I hate it. Time is wasted. Besides, don’t we have a good way to skip that process?”
Pangpang Lloyd tapped Yongyong on the top of his head as if he were reassured.
Xaviel grinned as he searched for the foolish thing he had lost.
“So, to sum it up, I thought this and that procedure would be cumbersome, so I chose this radical visitation method to save time.”
“uh.”
“But Mr. Lloyd. Then, you might become someone to the Magentano Royal Family and His Highness….”
“no. are you okay. Rather, the King of Veneto will like it more.”
“yes?”
“Thanks to Yongyong.”
“What is that….”
“Watch it if you are curious. It’s all here. Get ready.”
Lloyd laughed like a snake.
In the meantime, the capital of the Kingdom of Veneto was getting closer.
It seemed distant like a dot earlier.
Suddenly, it grew like a fairly large pot lid or shield.
No, it was getting closer and bigger in real time.
Thanks to this, Grand Master Xaviel could hear clearly.
“Bo Bone Dragon!”
“It’s an invasion!”
“mother!”
“Come here! hurry! behind!”
Urgent cries of people were heard from all over the capital.
People pointing their fingers towards the sky.
Those who raise their voices to spread danger.
Women running to find a place to hide.
Babies crying in their arms.
Guards clapping and running between them.
From the ringing of a bell signaling an emergency to the noise of things pouring from a newsstand.
“….”
How does this feel like being a villain?
I feel like I’ve become an unintentionally vicious invader.
But does the fake Lloyd Frontera have no feelings or guilt?
Xaviel looked at Lloyd, feeling his conscience prick.
But Lloyd….
“Oh, that’s fine. Landing became easier thanks to people noticing and avoiding it in advance.”
The square in the capital was empty and he liked it!
“….”
toughness real.
Because it’s good just once.
I want to slap that chestnut-like back of the head.
Xaviel briefly opened and closed his fists.
In the meantime, Yongyong landed as lightly as possible in the capital square.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!
Overwhelming noise and vibration shaking the earth!
Five innocent flower beds crushed and pecked by a giant sole!
However, Lloyd displayed his ruthlessness without blinking an eyelid at the sacrifice of the flower beds soaked in the blood, sweat and tears of the caretaker in the square.
Rather more brazenly.
Like what the problem is.
I stood on top of Yongyong’s head and looked around the square.
Then, he spoke with mana in his throat so that everyone could hear.
“Here, Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the Frontera family, invited by the royal family of Veneto, has come to see the great and worthy monarch of this land, King Venetogna, as promised.”
It wasn’t a loud cry.
However, because it was loaded with mana, it clearly spread far and wide.
I poked the cochlea in everyone’s eardrum.
Thanks to that, everyone stopped for a moment.
I tilted my head.
‘what? You said you were invited by our royal family?’
‘That person and the bone dragon?’
‘Um, such a story…Was there?’
‘It’s the first time.’
Even the young man who shuddered at the impending catastrophe (?).
The woman who was looking at the plaza through the cracks in the shutters.
Even the old man who couldn’t hide and was trembling.
Crossbowmen from the Capital Defense Forces were also rushing toward the plaza.
Everyone made puzzled faces.
It had to be.
‘of course. Because that’s just a lie.’
Lloyd laughed inwardly.
What he just said was an obvious lie.
I had never received an invitation from the royal family of Veneto.
He didn’t even schedule a meeting with King Venetogna here.
However, he confidently threw out a punch.
The reason was simple.
‘Because this way things will go smoothly.’
It won’t just end with an amicable resolution.
The Royal Family of Veneto and King Venetogna will be greatly satisfied with today’s meeting.
In addition, based on the satisfaction, the Veneto royal family will become an active partner in the operation of the Pantara Mountains trade railway.
Gently capturing those calculations.
Lloyd looked around the square.
“Today I am here at the invitation of the King of Venetogna, the King of Veneto and the worthy monarch of this land. However, I am worried that I may have misunderstood the date given that there is no preparation for the invitation yet. I would be very grateful if you could send a message to the Royal Family to inform the great King Venetogna of my arrival.”
spoke even more bluntly.
as if it were real.
Politely so that no one can suspect.
In all honesty, the entire face was covered with a titanium steel plate with triple embossing.
Indeed, the effect was evident immediately.
“Stop that!”
An officer of the Capital Defense Forces, who was running toward the plaza with his troops, urgently shouted.
A company of about 200 heavy infantry led by him stopped in a hurry.
They weren’t the only troops who stopped walking.
A company of about 180 crossbowmen.
300 pikemen too.
Even the cavalry corps members who were belatedly ordered to mobilize and were harnessed.
Everyone stop the action from their commander! had to be ordered.
Meanwhile, all the officers who ordered their men to stop had similar thoughts.
‘If the author just said…You mean this isn’t an invasion by the Bone Dragon?’
A man named Lloyd Frontera standing on top of Bone Dragon.
The author just made it clear.
He said he had been invited by the king.
Originally, he was supposed to meet with the king.
But I think there is something wrong.
I want someone to put a message in the royal family.
So, if we carefully interpret those remarks and come to a conclusion….
‘You mean we don’t have to fight that Bone Dragon?’
A smile of relief quickly rises with the conclusion.
I thought you were alive
Power was released from all over the body.
To be honest, I was really scared.
No matter how many hundreds or thousands of troops there are.
How to fight that Bone Dragon and how to defeat it.
No, everyone was worried about whether they would be able to survive.
Soldiers did the same, but officers were no different.
Apart from burning patriotism, it was because his own life was also precious.
However, it was revealed that the guy who rode that ignorant bone dragon had been invited.
not willing to fight
to call the king
It was a very welcome (?) sound.
It was from then.
“there! you!”
Officers of each level competed to select the fastest-running soldiers in their units.
And he gave the most desperate and urgent order in the history of his military service.
“Quickly go to the royal palace and deliver what you just heard!”
“I see!”
Troops of all levels were scattered and marched to the plaza.
Soldiers from each unit scrambled to the castle.
Eventually, Lloyd’s Pungka was delivered to King Venetogna.
“…what is it The author invited the winemaker?”
“That’s what you claim, Your Highness.”
“….”
King Venetogna was silent.
The bone dragon went straight to the capital beyond expectations.
Maybe today, the royal family could collapse in ashes, but I was prepared.
‘But what is the author thinking? Why on earth are you claiming to have been invited by a widow?’
He has never invited anyone from Magentano.
I have never been promised a meeting place.
Besides, what kind of atrocities did that Bone Dragon show a few days ago?
Didn’t they launch a full-scale military provocation by knocking down two peaks of the Pantara Mountains?
cringe
King Venetogna gnashed his teeth.
But he did not express his feelings outwardly.
Rather, he responded with a natural smile.
“Heh heh heh. I didn’t know that the Magentano royal family would accept Gwain’s request like this.”
“…yes? Your Highness, are you saying that the author and the bone dragon were really invited for a meeting with Your Highness?”
“So it is.”
King Venetogna responded calmly.
He said to the commander-in-chief, who looked puzzled.
“Wine thought. Although our forces are not weak, what a loss we will suffer if we turn against the mighty invasion force of Magentano. Even if the ending is our victory, there will be no way to avoid huge damage.”
“You are indeed right, Your Highness. If so, did you send a message to the Magentano royal family without the warden’s knowledge to avoid such a conflict and loss?”
“yes. The point is that I feel sorry for you, but I couldn’t help it. In politics, sometimes you have to cheat even your allies.”
“The warden is simply admiring Your Highness’ wisdom.”
“haha. Thank you for accepting me like that.”
good.
It was natural.
King Venetogna praised his acting skills from the bottom of his heart.
Once the commander-in-chief accepted this situation.
This was exactly what the king needed.
‘You’ve got to give the lie to that outrageous lie claimed by author Lloyd Frontera. Only then will we be able to avoid an immediate collision.’
It was a situation where the bone dragon had invaded the capital.
But what if you refuse to talk here and choose conflict?
The hopeless conviction that the ending would not be terribly beautiful bloomed.
“Then let’s go now. To hear the answer of the Magentano royal family that the author must have brought.”
King Venetogna rose from his seat with a smile pretending to be relaxed.
So from now on?
It was time to go find out the intentions of that Lloyd Frontera, who drove a bone dragon into the capital out of nowhere.
‘What kind of scheming does he have to carry out such a ploy?’
half worried.
half fear.
A spoonful of determination there.
King Venetogna’s heroic steps headed towards the plaza.
Of course, he had no idea what a colorful day his day would become in the history books of the Veneto royal family.
