421 - - Episode 30 Godo's Intention

Tch ...... still smells like dust ......."

Godot, the next Viscount Godot's heir apparent from the First Prince Claud's faction, frowned and pressed his mouth with a silk handkerchief.

About 100 people, including his men, were inside the passageway that had been built and kept secret for the racial royal family to escape to the outskirts of the city.

When they stepped into the passageway, it was dusty, having never been used since it was built.

Every time someone took a step, dust danced in the air.

Why did they set foot in such a place that looked unhealthy?

When it was time to go, and from a distance they saw black smoke - the explosion of the magic item they had arranged, they went ahead with the operation "Assassination Plan for Princess Lilith" as planned.

Godot, with a handkerchief over his mouth, sent instructions to his subordinates.

This is an escape route used by the royal family, so there will be no traps of any kind, but go with caution. We are aiming for the head of Lilith, the woman who led His Highness Claw into this despicable trap!　The ups and downs of our Viscountesses will depend on how this operation plays out!　Arise!　Lilith's head is off, and your prize is at your disposal!"

At his call, the color of the eyes of the viscount's retainers and the assembled militia changes.

If they could get Lilith's head off, they might be able to start their own families as nobles.

They might be able to win a large sum of prize money and have a large number of women in their arms.

Godot once again sees the flames of desire light up in the eyes of about 100 men on the dark underground escape route to the royal family.

He himself smiles a lust-filled smile and flies his instructions.

Then we will head out in the formation we decided on in advance. From here, it's a race against time!

I understand, sir!

Immediately the men begin to move.

In the lead are the lightly-armed Viscount's private soldiers, who advance as scouts, on the lookout for a trap in case it is set.

Next come the light-armor-clad members of the Viscount's private army, and Godot joins them.

Last of all, the rural manpower brought from the Viscount's domain follows.

The middle, where Godot is, is the safest zone and the most powerful.

They begin to reverse the royal escape route at a quick pace.

Running is about the speed of a race.

About 100 people are stuck together and cannot run as fast as they can.

The escape route is only as wide as two adult men standing side by side with their arms outstretched, and they are also on the lookout for traps, so they cannot afford to lose too much strength before Lilith's assassination by running at full speed.

Godot, following the scout who is a little further ahead, is thinking.

（The capital of the racial kingdom is in turmoil because of the explosion of the magic item. Taking advantage of the chaos, I have asked some lowly mercenaries, who do not hesitate to do dirty work for money, to attack the castle from the ground. I guess the inside of the castle is in chaos by now. Lilith may use this passageway as she is chased away by the mercenaries. Or they could just cut off her head. If Lilith dies as a result, we win.)

Godot's mouth twists.

(If this plan succeeds, he will surely obtain the position of Prime Minister. Furthermore, although we have turned against each other this time, if we negotiate with the "Giant Tower Witch" and join hands with each other, we can obtain a wider range of power!　The "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" may have chosen Lilith, who is easy to manipulate from behind the scenes, but even Claw, the first prince, could be a good substitute. If she is indebted to Lilith for this rescue, she would be easier to manipulate than Lilith because she is not as smart as Lilith. (If we emphasize this point, there should be enough room for negotiation.)

Godot had always wondered, "Why do the witches favor Lilith?

The Witch of the Gigantic Tower has so far defeated or brought under her influence the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Beastmen Confederacy, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Majin Kingdom as friendly nations.

Compared to them, the racial kingdoms are so weak that they would be blown away.

With military might, they can be overthrown in less than a day.

Despite this, they went out of their way to push for Lilith's appointment as queen. This time, too, they went out of their way to make her inauguration known.

For some reason, the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" is excessively lenient toward Lilith.

Godot gathered information about the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" that was circulating and came up with a theory.

Godot gathered information about the Witch of the Tower and came up with a theory: "The Witch is manipulating Lilith from behind the scenes in order to raise the status of her race.

The "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" has been working to improve the status of the race as part of her manifestation.

The most obvious example is "absolute independence of race (human).

They prohibit racial slavery and punish violators without question, even if they are of the same race.

From this, Godot concluded that the purpose of the "Witch of the Giant Tower" is to "raise the status of race.

I don't know why they are so concerned with raising the status of the race.

But the reason why the witches do not push Lilith aside and reign supreme as the queen of the race is probably because political issues are attached to it.

No matter how weak the racial kingdom is, the people's patriotism is not zero.

It is inevitable that there will be a backlash if a witch takes the top position, pushing aside the original royal family.

Therefore, Godot concluded that the "Witch of the Giant Tower" would manipulate Lilith, who is easy to manipulate, from behind the scenes with magic or some other reward, and that her goal would be to eventually become the head of the racial kingdom herself.

(The next Viscount Fight hates the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" because she had Claw imprisoned and had her own sister assassinated because of the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower"'s support for Lilith. When he actually tries to join hands with her, persuasion is a bit troublesome, but he is just a musclehead after all. (It's no big deal.)

Godot chuckles as he runs backwards down the aisle.

(If I stand well from now on, I can cooperate with the witches, exert influence over a wider area, and become the vizier of a nation that could even rule the world!　(I'd be lying if I said I wasn't 'interested' in the position of king of a racial kingdom, but it's not something I want by antagonizing the witches.)

Godot paints a rosy future in his brain.

He has not even reached the castle yet, and yet he is chewing with joy as if he already has a definite future - but then he stops.

But then he stops, because a scout a little ahead stops and gives the signal to "stop.

(Lilith has come this way with her vassals?)

Godot expected an explosion in the city, an avalanche of mercenaries in the castle, and a panicked Lilith fleeing for her life, but he was completely wrong.

Slowly, as the scouts signaled, he closed the distance between them.

Thanks to Godot's eyes, he could see them.

I'm going to go to ...... and ask, "What the hell is that?　Armor, no, a statue."

In the middle of the royal escape corridor, we discover a single figure.

About 190 cm tall, in black armor with a red scarf.

He has no weapons, but the fingers of his hands are so sharp that even in the dark they seem to be able to cut through steel with ease.

............"

What?　Ugh, it moved!

When the black armor noticed the presence of Godot and the others, both red eyes lit up.

It begins to move as if to unclench its joints, and every time it moves, it somehow exhales white smoke from its joints.

UR Close Combat Magic Golem Dark Knight Level 5000

In the past, we almost attacked the "Abyss" dungeon in reverse, from the lowest level to the ground.

One of the party members was Gold as a shield, Nemmu as a spotter and trap detector, Amira as a magician, and "UR Close Combat Magic Golem Dark Knight Level 50 00" was in charge of the main attack.

The "Dark Knight," which possesses the strongest attack ability in the level 5000 class that can even use magic, moves to eliminate intruders to the royal castle.
