Chapter 351
The White Tree. Inside, me and Nyangpun Lick got together and talked.
It’s been more than a week since I fell on the 71st floor.
Maybe it’s because I still have the habit of struggling to clear each floor, so I can’t stay still even if I fall in a place where there are no clear clear conditions like the upper floors.
I didn’t know if someone would be lazy because I wanted to be at this time, but…..
“As you can see, the situation is not good. The metropolitan area is fine, but there are other places that have been hit close to destruction.”
“Oh, that’s where it is. Eastern Front. I’ve seen it through an underground merchant.”
“I should say that too. You said you had a letter from me the other day. The demon palace is open.”
“That’s right, it’s a lick as well.”
At least me and the members were different.
There is no growth if you stay still.
It’s not just these guys.
[hair loss]: Wow, there are so many monsters here.
[Nyan Cat Punch]: Where did you say you were from?
[hair loss]: It’s east. It must be the Giggsen region.
[Nyangnyang Punch]: Ooh! The gate in the neighborhood next to it exploded.
[hair loss]: Why? Why is it exploding next to me?
[Lick the top of the head]: What’s wrong with you?
[Loss of hair on your head]: It’s like you’re a noo…o… I didn’t say anything!
[Lick the crown]: What should I do!
The hair loss man was also having a hard time. I don’t know where Giksen is, but it’s obvious that it would have been a mess if it wasn’t in the metropolitan area.
I narrowly opened my eyes. This strangely uncomfortable feeling.
‘The Tower always asks for something from us.’
No matter how difficult and unanswered the situation was, there was a breakthrough, and even if you pretended to be nothing, you are scoring separately from the back.
moving more forward. That is why rewards are given when results exceed expectations.
The upper layer is different from the layer that has been through so far.
Now that it is not clear what we want from us, we must act within our own domain as much as possible.
Just as I gathered information through the underground merchants, I grew my influence in Nyangfun and Licking White Tree.
“I heard from the servants I work with, there are rumors that there will be conscription soon. He said he was trying to steal from his family. If you go, you will die.”
All kinds of rumors and news came through the servants working under the licking royalty and nobles.
“The atmosphere is definitely moving quickly. albeit on the bad side. The rank of nobility has changed. Earl Harken died at the plains gate. It was handled unofficially, but it is unconditional if you see that it has been removed from the list.”
It’s Nyan Fun, as he started as an aristocrat, he dug up inside information that others didn’t know.
Not only soldiers but also nobles are dying without knowing it.
Maybe it’s a matter of course. When a gate appears in a territory managed by nobles, it is resolved by itself or requests support from the surrounding territories.
If that’s too difficult, I’m requesting troops from the capital.
‘If the nobleman who was in the white tree and the count went down directly, it would be a dangerous gate.’
In other words, it was also that the nobility was suffering from a manpower shortage to the extent that they had to move directly.
“Where is it? hey i’m going to do laundry Have a good meeting.”
Lick, who stopped by my office for a while, lifted a basket full of laundry and waved.
Apparently, his current status is a slave, so he continues to work. At least Nyampun looked after me so I had time to talk like this.
“Be quiet at the laundry. If there are bullies, tell me!”
“Uh, I’ll give it a shot and leave it to you to deal with it.”
“That’s okay.”
Lick Lick laughed humorously and left the room, and Nyangpun and I moved into the conference room wearing coats.
He became Nyang Fun’s direct subordinate and had the opportunity to enter the noble council as an aide.
I glanced back and talked to Nyangpun.
“Are there any kids who quarrel with licks?”
“I don’t have it now, I don’t know. You might as well not speak. There are so many things that kids crave. It seems more like that these days.”
– Aww!
Just then, the sound of flesh breaking was heard.
I saw a woman near the meeting room. Even if you look at it, you must be aristocratic attire.
Excited, I’m short of breath and shrug my shoulders.
I don’t know why there are tears.
“Tell me again! You don’t even know who keeps your life alive thanks to you!”
– Kwaaak!
He kicked a servant who fell after being slapped on the cheek. He doesn’t seem to have undergone any special training, but nobles are nobles.
He had a strong body based on superior divine power, and he fell to the floor and bowed his head while the servant who had been kicked in the stomach groaned.
“Sorry. Shut your mouth!”
Before he could finish his words, he kicked again.
Emotions are loaded. Emotions that are too deep to pour out towards a mere servant.
“Because of you guys, the Count!”
“stop. Stop and calm down, Countess!”
“Leave this! He doesn’t even know who’s protecting him! A brute beast who doesn’t even know what sacrifices he’s made!”
“For now, calm down… what are you doing, don’t disappear quickly!”
On her way to the meeting room, a man in military uniform grabs her.
When he snapped his chin to tell him to disappear quickly, the battered servant ran away.
A woman who burst into tears and a man who is trying to soothe her with a troubled expression.
Nyanpun whispered softly.
“That person is the Countess who died while going to that support. Next to him is the 2-star general of the Eastern Front, Belbregg.”
Oh, the person who died while he was out there. It seems that he came to participate in the meeting on behalf of the dead count.
That servant was caught talking carelessly and by mistake.
Pretending to be nothing, Nyangfen nodded slightly and went into the conference room. So is the general.
I also hurriedly followed Nyan Fun.
That’s it.
‘If it’s Belbrag, that person is him.’
The person listed on the letter of recommendation. Seeing as a 2-star general, that’s certain.
Did you return from the Eastern Front for a report and a meeting?
It took a moment, but our eyes met. I lightly bowed my head and entered the meeting room.
It’s meeting time.
* * *
Meeting of nobles.
It is a time to meet periodically to report on the situation and hold meetings to discuss the future direction.
Not everyone can come, but only those who have a certain position or are directly involved in the war.
It aims to gather as many aristocrats as possible, but there are a lot of people who can’t attend because so many gates have exploded.
The position itself was set up as a baron, but Nyangpundo was eligible to participate in managing war supplies.
‘About 18 families.’
There were far more people, including attendants and servants, but there were just over 20 people sitting in the chairs in the conference room.
There are also people who come with a couple or bring their children.
There were also cases where, for some reason, a representative was present, like the Countess we saw in the hallway. Although it wasn’t much.
“It is too late to move and distribute supplies to the center. It is fast to autonomously supply supplies in the provinces!”
“That’s the southern situation. It is difficult for other places to supply enough food and weapons on their own.”
“Are you proud of poor administration?”
“what? Who do you think is holding the monsters at the front line! If we collapse, you think you’ll be safe!”
A conference hall where voices come and go.
The same goes for nobles who can’t afford it. In particular, the farther away from the capital, the more desperate it is.
The part related to supplies is being controlled by Nyangfun, so the gaze looking this way is no joke.
Did you put a light in your eyes? I’m dying of embarrassment
“Concluded by maintaining the existing system. Crack.”
“Okay.”
“There really isn’t a better way.”
“It doesn’t.”
It’s Nyanfun, but I dismissed the opinions of other nobles as if nothing had happened.
Anyway, is it okay to talk like that in a meeting?
done. Limp is also working as a servant in a silver hairtail outfit.
The system should be properly corrected. That’s why Nyangfun works as an aristocrat.
The material related stuff ends here. Then another agenda came out. A series of interesting but not fun hours. Then a familiar face stepped forward.
“A wave of monsters will hit the capital in about a month.”
Belbreg has made a bombshell declaration.
There was silence for a moment at the word that the capital would be captured.
“I see.”
He pointed to a large map hanging on the conference room wall.
A map artifact showing the Second Celestial.
There are several areas marked in green.
A territory that is maintained normally, including the capital city. A place where a minimum level of safety and economic activity is guaranteed.
There are not many of them. 14 pieces. Two of them are on the verge of losing their green color. It means perilous.
Areas other than these were marked with different colors.
Yellow Orange Red depending on the hazard level.
finally.
‘black.’
An area that has been completely destroyed and cannot be restored or cannot currently be restored.
One of them is where the fragments of chaos were.
The problem is this.
“If this place is breached, the capital will be next.”
The red area adjacent to the capital.
The color gradually changes to black. An unexpected variable has occurred. A variable that is difficult to recover from.
hmm. Belbreg cleared his throat once and explained the future operation with a report.
Where and what kind of troops are coming from, where to form a defensive line, and a plan in case of emergency and supply routes, etc.
All of them were serious and complex stories, but that’s the conclusion.
“We need to seal off Giggsen and make it a buffer zone.”
That the area must be blocked off in order to buy time to build a defensive line.
And Gixen…
‘It’s where the hair loss man is.’
I thought it was just because there were so many monsters, but it wasn’t.
Nyangfun also had a crumpled expression. The reasons were different, but the expressions of the other nobles also hardened.
An atmosphere that becomes chaotic in an instant.
“The evacuation order has not been issued yet!”
“I didn’t have time for that, damn it.”
“Isn’t it time to put in a support unit?”
“Then you can’t build a defense line. Even just gathering the scattered troops is tight.”
“You’re not going to kill everyone over there after all!”
bang!
One of the nobles kicked off the table and stood up.
The moment when no one else can open their mouths carelessly.
“you’re right.”
Belbreg nodded.
There were no excuses.
“I take all the blame and responsibility. The takeover has already been completed. My vacant place will be taken by the second-in-command.”
“That means no way…..”
“I will take as much time as possible while the defense line is being built. Please follow me.”
Belbreg, who answered without hesitation, bowed his head deeply and left the conference room.
Through the open door, you can hear the sound of horses chirping.
You must have already completed your preparations. The reason why he had to attend the meeting was to gather troops to follow him to the limb and inform them of future events.
The conference room, where only silence remained, was the point at which the meeting was virtually over.
“Nyangpun, I’ll go too.”
“uh?”
“I have to bring the hair loss man.”
“If you’re going, go with me!”
“I need you and my lick to stay here to know how things will turn out. Make a line of defense quickly, just in case. Only you can do that.”
“hey!”
Took. I patted Nyanfen on the shoulder and quickly walked out of the meeting room.
I caught up with Bellebreg, who was moving forward without hesitation.
“General.”
“hmm? You are earlier.”
I took out a letter of recommendation from my inventory and handed it to him.
His eyebrows twitched as if slightly startled by the familiar name.
“I will go with you.”
“I don’t know if I regret it.”
“No.”
I joined his unit.
