Episode 637: Let’s go. Your
expedition to the West was a failure.
If the goal was simply to obtain the fortress, it would have been a success, but if it is in a state where it cannot be used, the story is different.
Rather, it could be seen as a loss since the troops, including the Dragon Knight, were lost in the process.
At least it is fortunate that Adela did not fall victim to the parasitic species...
“I guess we can say that the West is virtually destroyed.”
“yes. Being here means that the world you are in is also on the path to destruction. “There are powerful disasters and fragments of chaos, but don’t forget that ancient monsters are also capable of destroying the world.”
Adela speaks calmly.
That is correct. Even simple monsters, even ordinary hunters, are no different from a disaster to those with low skills.
Even worse, the level of hunters on Earth cannot be said to be high at best.
Disaster is difficult to prevent without chaos, so high-level hunters will definitely be needed.
‘I didn’t know much about ancient monsters.’
It was even weirder knowing that they were people I had only seen a few times.
It looks like Adella knows something about ancient monsters, so let’s ask her.
“This is a special case, but as far as I know, ancient monsters cannot come out of the gate. Is that correct?”
“In general, yes. But you know that they create monster waves, right?”
I nodded.
Because I also experienced it myself. Because of that, I went inside and took care of them.
“The monster wave continues and after a certain level, the gate becomes overloaded.”
Let’s summarize after listening to her explanation.
“...There is a time limit to clear it. “After that time, the gate breaks and the people inside come out.”
“Time varies greatly. “This happened after all the monsters inside the gate had escaped.”
When there are no more normal monsters to send out, the gate collapses and spits out the Ancient Monsters and First Monsters remaining inside.
It was said that among the unusual gates that appeared in the world where Adela was located, there was one that had not opened for 60 years.
On the other hand, it is said that it occurred less than 10 years ago, so it is difficult to estimate the time period. The number of monsters varies depending on what kind of guys are inside.
For example, in the case of Ancient Deadman, the origin of the undead that I defeated, I used a huge number of undead. In this case, it won’t explode for a long time.
I scratched my head. I caught him relatively easily as he was not compatible with me when it comes to dealing with divine power, but what about other guys?
‘Now that I think about it, all the ancient monsters I met were my natural enemies.’
In the case of the First Knight Mare, my mental protection level was so high that it was easy to deal with.
The ones that came out this time were a bit different from those cases.
It’s a little better thanks to the title of one who filters out parasitic species, but the one who handles polyps seems to have come by sheer force.
“Polyps and bugs.”
I know roughly what kind of people there are.
That part aside.
“What are we going to do about the West? Are you planning to blockade it?”
“no.”
Adela answered my question firmly.
I thought they were going to say block it, but is there another way?
“If we don’t block it, infected people will keep coming.”
“So there should be no blockade. We need a defense line to prevent them from crossing to the north. “If we leave it alone, the number will grow rapidly.”
That’s true, but...
“How?”
“I plan to find the remaining survivors of the Western Fortress and move on. In the end, their home is the West. “I plan to use them to build a defense line.”
Not a bad idea.
A way to create a defense line without sacrificing the troops of the northern fortress.
But...
“Wait a minute. Then, if I want to do as you say...”
“Yes, I need your help.”
Adela smiles brightly, raising the corners of her mouth, and her eyes shine.
That’s a good thing, but in the end, in order to do that, I had to check all the people I brought from the Western Fortress.
There is no such thing as hard work.
“Please!”
“Hey Mr.!”
I had a headache, but I couldn’t say anything.
Because I think this episode was the best.
Above all....
[Hair loss on your head]: I take parasite medicine well and am a clean hair loss person!
[Lick the top of the head]: That’s right, you’re good at it!
[Mean Meow Punch]: One more time!
[Hair loss on your head]: I take parasite medicine....
“Evil guys. “Stop harassing the child.”
The members are always making fun of the hair loss man.
They don’t even know about parasitic species.
It’s a shame. If I had at least one person by my side, I would have tried something. This is also the time to learn the cooking skill, which is a transfer skill.
I sighed softly, said something in the chat window, and turned off the community.
[Petit Gondue]: Wow! As expected, he’s so cool☆Hairless man!
[Hair loss on your head]: Hahahaha! If you keep doing this, it’s shameful! Hahahaha
“Yeah.”
I was stroking the head of Deok-chun, who had a nervous expression on his face, and was going to meet the survivors to track down the gate where the ancient monster dealing with the parasitic species that had been going on for the past few days was located.
“Evil Evileye!”
“what’s the matter.”
The administrator came running with the momentum of rolling on the floor.
I think something happened.
“A message has arrived from the southern Giath citadel! “There was a large-scale dragon species attack in the south!”
It is a representative fortress that dominates the southern part of Gias-myeon.
Now that Adela is away, I am taking her place.
I took Adela’s letter from the gasping administrator and looked at it.
The faster I read, the more my eyes squinted, but at the end I was slightly amazed.
“As expected, Adela.”
The Dragon Manipulator’s Ancient unleashed a large number of monsters, almost causing great damage to the southern part, but he joined forces with Adella, who came down at the right time, to prevent it.
Since the Dragon Slayer appears, it is like a counter for the dragon monster.
If we turn this matter into debt, we will be in a more advantageous position in negotiations.
Of course, we did not go there to fight, but to report the situation in the West and receive support, so the number of troops moved is insufficient.
That’s right.
“A request for troops.”
“That’s right. The southern side requested 40 dragon knights, 60 knights, and 200 soldiers.”
“You’re greedy. “It’s not like I left it to you.”
The administrator nodded as if he thought the same thing.
At that level, a fairly medium-sized fortress would be able to gather all its troops.
The troops of Margon Castle, the northern loser and a large fortress, have plenty of room to spare, and when actually sending forces, they will notify the northern fortress and bring in troops, so there should be no problem.
However, the intention is too scandalous.
“Go and tell it. It’s difficult because you have to manage the West and keep the East in check at the same time. “If you want, pay the price.”
“All right! Since we don’t know what will happen in the eastern part, we need to maintain our strength here as well. Because the Lord of Adela Castle is not there either. But...”
“By now, even the eastern part of the country knows that there is no castle lord here. “You have to be careful.”
Originally, Adela would have taken care of it, but now she is participating in the battle. It is not a situation to coordinate directly.
It is too late to make a request after the work is finished. The reason Adella participated in the battle was because the owner of Margon’s castle wanted to create a large debt through her own actions.
Here’s what to do.
‘We will rip off as much as we can from the South. At the same time, ensure Adela’s safety.’
Right now it’s urgent and we’re fighting together with Adela, but what about after it’s over?
Won’t they try to capture Adela and eat the North?
Knowing that, the southerners also said, ‘Should we send enough troops to protect your captain?’ It comes out like this. It’s like a counter-threat.
The administrators probably knew this, so they opposed the South’s excessive demands but could not completely ignore them. However, it is difficult to know how it will come out in the East before actually sending it.
Can not help it.
“Send a letter. So that even the eastern guys know. There is no official large-scale support. Instead...”
Anyway, Adela is a partner on the 94th floor.
“Me and Mirva are going secretly.”
I have no choice but to move to clear the 94th floor.
Mirva, who was quietly petting the wyvern next to her, raises her head.
“...Am I coming too?”
“Kueeh?”
Then I have to go. I can’t run all the way there.
Mirva, who suddenly became a dragon knight and taxi driver, was in tears.
