Chapter 82: Legion

Chapter 82: Legion

(Casimir Kismet)

I exhaled as I stared at the 5 people with me in the living room at the mansion. Tanya was crossing her arms while staring at me, next to her was Karoon looking down while lowkey staring at the people with her. On the other side of the room were Mehrad, Leo, and Leal sitting together on one sofa.

And the topic of our meeting? Nothing special, it just Tanya received a letter from her king friend saying that the start of another world war had been declared and a fucking legion is already on its way to annihilate us all!

Yep, not a big deal! We are just fucking screwed!

War? What do I know about war? All I know is to punch someone's stupid face! I am just starting to finally adapt to my status as a ruler of this town, and now, a freaking war?

Why is a war happening right when things are starting to take a good turn?

I put my hands on my waists and unleashed another exhale. "So, Hive mind legion from the kingdom of Milana, huh?"

Tanya nodded. "Yes, and from what Tirion notified, they are bringing their new division with them, which they called the Zeppelin bombardment force."

Bombardment force? Doesn't that sound like very bad news?

"Of all the places, why start with us though? We're just a small town in the middle of nowhere."

Leal crossed his feet. "If you ask me, it makes a lot of sense because this town is located at the very boundary of the territory of humans and demi-humans. It is the best place to go if you want to establish an outpost. That was also the reason why some nearby human kingdoms attempted to colonize this town during the past 7 years of war."

I put my hand on my chin. "So, if they manage to take over this place, it will give them a huge advantage in this incoming war."

"You are correct. Furthermore, if this town falls in the human's hand, the nearest demi-human kingdom will easily fall, because if they got rid of us, the humans could easily send assault in every direction, one more path to attack could make a great difference. I think the kingdom of Milana is aiming to destroy the kingdom of Erela next, once they succeed to conquer us."

"Kingdom of Erela?"

"The elven kingdom. This town is located at the very boundary of the great forest of Fiora and the forest of Inizio."

A telepathy type advanced class skill that can make a huge army move in great synchronization? Isn't that skill awesome!

I put my hand to cover my mouth. "I see." I nodded. "Then, about that Zeppelin bombardment force?"

Leal leaned back to the sofa. "I am afraid, digging on that kingdom's secret weapon is a little bit hard. The facilities were fully secured and there was only very little information I got about it."

"Tell me about it."

"The only thing I got about it is, the Zeppelin bombardment force consists of sky metal vehicles built to destroy everything beneath them. Some kind of aerial magic demolishers."

I see. Aircraft bombardment team.

So, they are planning to completely obliterate the entire town.

I nodded. "How powerful do you think that bombardment vehicles could be?"

Leal paused for a second then answered my question. "Even If only one managed to reach the town. It will destroy everything."

That sounds like a real pain in the ass!

I didn't work my ass out just let a freaking former candidate for hero destroy this town.

Well, whether I want it or not, the war is already here, and they will come for us. The only choice I have is to protect this town, I have no other place to go anyway.

I am a freaking meruem and I don't know how the other places view meruems, but I already have a hunch of how bad it would be.

Besides, this town is already growing in me, with the people in it. Even if I have a choice or not, this place is worth fighting for.

I stood up and clapped my hand once. "So, let's plan how we deal with them. Shall we?"
