Chapter 623

Episode 623: Area 7 (1)

If you roll together in a labyrinth for a long time, you can reach a point where you can communicate with your colleagues just by exchanging glances.

Like right now.

‘I don’t know what it is, but let’s catch it and see.’

My colleagues who received my glance nodded and took out their weapons.

And that moment.

“I have no intention of giving an easy answer.”

Coincidentally, the opposing leader made the same decision and rushed at us.

“Suppress it first!”

The number of enemies is fourteen, including the leader.

I felt uncomfortable for no reason because it wasn’t a multiple of 6 that could be bonded, but…

well, this isn’t a labyrinth, it’s the middle of the city.

「The character has casted [Giantization].」

「The character’s physique grows larger, and the threat value and body value increase in proportion to the size.」

Since I did not know the level of the opponent, I first increased the size of the body. However, as I got bigger, did something come to mind?

Suddenly, the guys who were running towards me stop in confusion.

“Bjorn Jandel…?”

“…It’s a giant!”

“Why is the guy who was said to be missing here…?”

I’m grateful that you recognize this, but…

“Run away!”

“We need to call for backup—!”

Where are you going now?

***

It didn’t take long to subdue all the Noark hordes encountered in the ruined dimension plaza.

Well, in the process, the number of people from fourteen was reduced to twelve.

Ah, of course, but it’s not because I missed it.

I just fell in the process of running away.

‘They were more talented than I thought.’

Scattering away like cockroaches, it seemed like they were the ones who usually got together and bounced around.

Among them, the two quick-witted guys were likely to be missed if they tried to capture them alive.

“Good job. Erwen. “If I had missed it, it could have been annoying.”

“…you’re welcome.”

Anyway, the suppression was over. I approached the kneeling guys.

‘Twelve people.’

It’s definitely a much more comfortable number than before.

“Emily, take off all the equipment, including the dead ones.”

Since I didn’t know how much time I would have, I decided to interrogate while rooting first.

After all, this guy would be a good conversation partner, right?

“…Tsk!”

After being suppressed, the leader, who had been keeping his mouth shut and his head down, grabbed his head and lifted it up.

“Hey, your eyes.”

When I called him, Einar next to me tilted his head.

“uh? “Did you know this guy Bjorn?”

“You don’t know?”

“Eh? But how do you know the name?”

“…What are you talking about? “I just called it eye color because I didn’t like the color of its eyes.”

Otherwise, how could a person’s name be Nunkal?

If you look closely, Einar really has no prejudice at all.

“Haha… I… again…”

Einar scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed expression, and I turned my attention off Einar, as I was used to.

“Anyway… hey eyes.”

I called again, but he didn’t respond, so I asked him if he could.

“It’s been a while since we returned to the city, so why are you guys here?”

As expected, there was no answer this time and I immediately hit him with the hammer.

Not the leader….

Kwasik-!

Targeting the hand of one of his subordinates next to him.

“Aaaah!!!”

Subordinate A was very surprised by the sudden attack and screamed in pain.

Starting with the guy, I threw down the hammer in order, shattering one of his hands.

And then I asked the leader again.

“It’s been a while since we returned to the city, so why are you guys here?”

Same question as I asked before.

Of course, there was no answer, so I started with subordinate A and struck down the hammer.

Not anywhere else, but at the hand that has already been harpooned.

Kwasik-! Kwasik-! Kwasik-!

I repeated the same question to the leader once more, and this time there was no answer.

but….

“…!”

Seeing that the subordinates closed their eyes tightly, it seemed that they all understood the rules of this interrogation.

“Catch it well this time too, Auyan.”

“yes…!”

As they were mechanically striking one after another again, one of the subordinates shouted urgently.

“Je me!”

“…huh?”

“I can answer this. “To that question!”

“Oh really?”

It wasn’t surprising to me because it was a somewhat induced result, but it might have been a little different from the leader’s perspective as he watched his subordinate G’s betrayal.

“You piece of trash…!”

The eyes that had been silent the entire time turn to glare at subordinate G.

However, as he came from Noark, a macho society, his subordinate G was not easy.

“Fuck, then what? “It would be over if you just kept your mouth shut, but we are at risk.”

“…Do you think that guy will save you!”

“Probably not. But isn’t it better to get hurt less? “What’s the point in being loyal in a situation where everything is going to end up happening anyway?”

“If your betrayal is known, your family in the village will never—.”

“Hey! Tsk! You idiot. “Didn’t you know that your subordinate was an orphan with no family?”

“….”

From my perspective, it was a landslide victory for subordinate G.

My eyes could not refute those logical yet selfish words.

Of course, it seemed like he was about to swear something belatedly, but…

“You son of a bitch—.”

“quiet.”

“Wow!”

There’s no reason to waste time watching stupid fights.

“Okay, now tell me. “Why on earth are you guys here?”

When we soon quieted our eyes and asked, subordinate G explained what had happened in the city while we were away.

To summarize, it was simple.

First of all, it was about two months ago.

The remnants of Noark, who had left the castle walls, secretly entered the underground city that was their former residence.

It was to invade Lapdonia.

“Invasion…?”

“…You’re out of your mind.”

My colleagues who were listening to the story were surprised and Amelia shook her head as if it was absurd, but I wasn’t really surprised.

That’s something I heard from the clown at the round table before.

‘I never thought it would be put into action so quickly.’

Perhaps because he was next to the clown when he said this, Bersil also seemed much calmer than his other colleagues.

“so? What’s the situation like? Did you win? “Is that why District 7 ended up like this?”

“No… we didn’t win. “It’s just a lull right now.”

“…Tell me in detail.”

“Two days ago, they came up to the city through the sewers and invaded several districts of Ravigion by surprise and succeeded in taking over them in one day.”

“Two days ago…?”

After listening to the story further, I learned that today is exactly one day since the labyrinth was closed.

“You deliberately targeted the time when the explorers were in the labyrinth. “It is likely that a significant portion of the royal family’s troops also entered the labyrinth.”

“Yes, that’s right…”

The first thing that came to mind after hearing the story up to this point was why I was so unlucky.

It was quiet the whole time, but I finally came back, and that was when the invasion of the city happened.

Does this mean that an unlucky person will break his nose no matter where he falls?

“I’m listening, so don’t stop and keep talking.”

“Ah, yes…”

Afterwards, subordinate G talked about the situation of the war so far.

The goal was between the 1st day when the labyrinth opens and the 2nd day when the explorers return.

Thanks to this, they were able to easily drive out the security forces in the area and succeed in taking over the city.

And….

“Yesterday, we surrounded the explorers who returned to the city in the dimension square and subdued them at once, then took them hostage and are confronting the royal family’s troops.”

Finally, to the current situation.

“Even from the royal family’s point of view, their lives were more valuable than the lives of ordinary city residents, so they could not easily push in.”

“But why were you here?”

“We were on patrol. The royal family might send intruders, and we also need to find hidden remnants. Then, the wizard on our patrol team said he felt something near the plaza…”

“Are there any more patrol teams?”

“There’s no place around here…”

Pom trailed off, but he seemed to be hesitant even though he had something more to say.

It was time to use the trump card.

“It’s okay, so tell me. I’m willing to save your life if it helps. No, I swear on my honor as a warrior that I will definitely let you live.”

A warrior’s oath that has been useful since the beginning.

After hearing this, subordinate G looked like he was worried for a moment and then confessed his feelings.

“It’s almost regular reporting time. “If we don’t report in time, another patrol team will come here.”

“This bastard…!!”

Was it the last bastion of faith?

When subordinate G started to blow his mind, he couldn’t hold back his eyes and had a seizure.

Oh, it keeps bothering me. Sёarᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Can you do regular reporting?”

“yes. You can. I’ve done it a few times. “He often passed it on to me because it was annoying.”

“okay?”

“Yes you bastard! “How long have I been giving you—!”

Then he will be useless now.

Kwasik-!

Although his superior’s head was smashed in front of his eyes, subordinate G only flinched for a moment and quickly regained his composure.

“Among the luggage you took earlier, there will be a message stone. “Give it to me and I will take care of everything.”

“I guess this is it.”

Amelia, who was watching from the side at the words of subordinate G, immediately found the message stone and handed it to him.

“Now then, try it. “Don’t even think about doing anything useless.”

“Yes…”

Afterwards, subordinate G, who had received the message stone, reported to the superiors that there was no problem, and perhaps because of the usual record, it ended without any problems.

So now it’s time to continue the conversation again.

“Anyway, you said a few areas, but where exactly do you mean?”

“District 13 and 7.”

“Ha…”

“Why are you doing that…? Even if I made a mistake…”

You really got lucky.

They invaded two of those many districts, but why did it happen to be our District 7?

I sighed endlessly, but at this point I gathered my composure and continued the conversation.

“Okay, just say it. “What happened to the Holy Land?”

In area 13, there is a sacred place for beastmen, and in area 7, there is a sacred place for us barbarians.

As the leader of the Barbarian tribe, I had no choice but to worry about the Holy Land first.

“The sacred site is currently cut off from the city.”

“Disconnected?”

“I’m not sure because I’m at the lowest level, but… they say they used a magic circle made by the royal family a long time ago. “There is a saying that it was created to control other races at any time… This is just our opinion, so it is not certain.”

G, the subordinate who said that, probably realized too late that I was the leader of the Barbarian tribe, and added this.

“But thanks to the fact that there was a way to completely cut it off, there will be relatively little damage to the Holy Land.”

Comparative.

I could tell from those words that there was damage to the Holy Land as well…

but what can I do?

Just be thankful that there is relatively little.

“Area 13… what happened to the beast people?”

Misha also chimed in to ask if he was worried about his hometown, but it was difficult to get a detailed answer.

“It’s a different area, so I’m fine with it… but it’s probably not that different there either.”

“okay… I see…”

Misha purses his lips as if he is worried about the family he hated in this situation.

“Yandel, it looks like I’ve got all the information I need. Why don’t we move on first?”

“Let’s move?”

“Because there is such a thing as chance. “If we are surrounded here, it will be difficult for us.”

Following Amelia’s advice, I decided to leave for now. Even if we passed the regular reports, someone might still find us.

“Then, organize the rest except this one. “So that no trace can be found.”

“Who is he?”

Amelia, who heard my instructions, glanced at her subordinate G.

And….

“I will take you alive.”

My subordinate G immediately stood up in response to my answer.

“I didn’t believe you. Baron! “I will keep my oath!”

“That’s not even funny.”

Amelia, who was watching, let out a laugh.

Well, he knows that I am a fake barbarian who does not place any value on oaths.

‘Still, I can’t break it too easily when I have Einar.’

Of course, the biggest reason was that there was still more to hear from him.

Cheeeeeeeek-!

After completely erasing all traces of the corpses with Versil’s magic and Amelia’s exploration supplies(?), they moved while hiding their presence as much as possible.

Since the entire District 7 has been taken over by the Noark guys, they had to find a place to hide for the time being…

“What about the house you used to live in? It shouldn’t be too far from here…”

Following Erwen’s suggestion, we headed to the mansion where we had previously taken out a mortgage.

It was judged to be a suitable location in many ways as it had high walls and a basement.

However, in a city that had become a battlefield, there was no way that house would be safe.

“Oh no… the house of my memories… I tried to save up money and buy it again later…!”

The mansion we arrived at while avoiding the eyes of other patrol groups had the second floor collapsed as if it had been hit by a fire spell, and there were scorch marks everywhere.

“It’s not bad though. It looks like this on the outside, but the first floor is fine. This appearance will also help you stay hidden. “The fence has collapsed a bit, but it’s not so much that you can see inside from the angle.”

Soon, Amelia gave us the appropriate decision, and we carefully entered the building.

And….

“Auyan. From now on, we’re going to talk among ourselves, but please lock him in the basement.”

“yes.”

After receiving instructions, Auyen locked his subordinate G in the basement.

“There will be no sunlight, but the rice will come out well.”

“…?”

“maybe.”

For some reason, it looked very exciting.
