Chapter 154: The Performance Gap
Men are pouring out one after another from the entrance we just came through. The guy we ran into earlier must have called for backup and brought them here.But because the entrance is narrow, the number of people who can pass through is limited. No matter how many reinforcements he brings, it’s pointless if they can’t get through.Lily and Randall should be more than enough to handle those guys. Leaving the reinforcements to those two, I approach King.“Oh? You’re not seriously planning to take on Your Highness all by yourself, are you?”“Yeah. It’d be too much for Randall to handle. I decided I’d do it myself.”“Whoa, whoa. You’re pretty confident, aren’t you? You know, you can all come at me together if you want. I’ll even make sure not to get in the others’ way.”“I don’t need them. How could I trust a bandit like you?”“Well, if that’s how you feel, fine. The outcome won’t change anyway.”King laughed derisively, then glared at me.“Who the hell are you, anyway? Some mercenary h
Chapter 153: King’s Objective
A man emerged from behind Attilari and glared at us. We’d finally made it here, but it looks like we’ve been spotted.Well, we were lucky to have made it this far without being seen. It really did go too smoothly.Still, there’s only one of him. If we take him out before he can call for backup, maybe we can pull this off…? As I braced myself, Randall, standing next to me, stared at the man with a look of shock on his face.“…………K-King…!”“Huh?”What…?Could it be that the guy standing over there is King?The Emperor’s boss Randall was talking about. Is that the guy?“H-hey. Is that guy King?”“Y-yeah…”“No way…”Just when it’s all over, some crazy guy shows up.Wait. I guess it makes sense that the head of the Emperor would be fascinated by a completed ancient weapon. I can understand wanting to gaze at it up close for a while.Either way, maybe this outcome was inevitable from the start.“Hey. What the hell are you guys doing? Weren’t you causing a ruckus down there?” King glared a
Chapter 152: ☆The Mouse
King began walking toward the dense crowd. As he approached, the people there parted like the Red Sea.He continued walking until he stopped right in front of a certain man.“……? Your Majesty? Is something wrong?”The man stared at King with a puzzled expression.“Now that the Atirari is complete… I thought this was the perfect timing. Since the opportunity has arisen, I’ve decided to do this with my own hands.”“H-huh…?”The man grows even more confused, unable to grasp what King is saying.Then, King draws the sword from his waist.“……!? W-what are you…?”The blade King held had a black edge and an unusual appearance.“Leaving you like this would just be a nuisance. The Emperor has no use for sewer rats. Filthy sewer rats are best exterminated.”“? What do you mean—” The next moment……“Huh!?”The sword in King’s hand pierced the man’s abdomen.“Gah…! W-what are you—”“It means you’re no longer needed, you sewer rat with the Rihibel Kingdom’s collar.”“Wh-what…!?” The man was stunn
Chapter 151: ☆The Capabilities of Ancient Weapons
Let’s rewind a little.We’re in a room inside a certain fortress.A man was sitting in a chair in this room. The chair was larger than usual and had a flashy appearance, almost like a throne.The man, sitting with his legs crossed in that chair, was gazing at the distant mountains outside the window. After a while, the door opened, and another man entered, looking flustered.“K-King! We finally did it!”“Huh? What are you talking about?”Yes. The man sitting in the chair was none other than King, the leader of the Emperors.King glared at the man who had entered, looking slightly annoyed.“The Ancient Weapon! We’ve finally completed the Ancient Weapon!”“…!? So the Attalari is finished!”“Yes!”King’s expression shifted completely from his previous grumpiness to one of sheer delight.“That’s why I rushed over—I wanted to report this to you first!”“…………Heh heh heh. How long I’ve waited for this day…! It was worth making you hurry.”“What shall we do? Shall I transport it to the summi
Chapter 150: Undercover
As we kept moving forward, we eventually reached the back of the fort.We’d lost some time due to the long detour, but when moving without being spotted, we had no choice but to be cautious.“If we go straight from here, the entrance is just ahead. There shouldn’t be any guards around here, but please stay alert just in case.”“Yeah.”Randall started moving toward the fortress.However, the thick weeds made it difficult to walk, and our progress was slow.“This side hasn’t been properly maintained. That’s why no one uses this path.”“Well, with weeds this thick, no one would want to walk through here…”But for us, it was the perfect route for infiltration. And we managed to reach the fortress walls at the back entrance without being spotted by anyone.Randall walked along the wall and stopped in front of an old gate.“We can get inside the fortress through this gate. There aren’t many people around here yet, but the further we go, the more people there will be, and the easier it’ll b
Chapter 149: The Emperor’s Stronghold
Lily and I were following Randall, who was leading the way.Since we were heading toward the Emperor’s stronghold, I was on guard, worried we might run into them, but fortunately, we didn’t see a single soul.After walking for a while, we could see a large fortress in the distance.“That’s where the Emperor lives.”“Huh. So that’s their headquarters…” Even from a distance, it was an impressive, massive fortress. That place could easily house about a hundred people.“It’s bigger than I thought. He was living in a place like that?”“Apparently, it’s an old fortress that was abandoned a long time ago. It seems the King found it and made it his base.”“That’s just the kind of thing a bandit would do…” But it doesn’t seem like a very suitable hideout for bandits.It’s surrounded by mountains, so it’s hard to spot, but once you get close enough, you can see parts of the fortress. It might be fine as a fortress, but I think it’s a bit iffy for bandits to live in because it’s too conspicuo
