“Where are they?”The knight returned and shook his head.Step! Step! Step!Another knight came back, coming from the other side of the forest.“How about you?”“No, Commander, I haven’t seen any tracks.”“Where are they!?”Andre's face frowns, showing a little bit of concern.“Could that Doe handle the knights?”Andre smiled but he confidently shook his head.“Your Majesty, Doe might be fast and he might have killed those monsters, but fighting the knights is different. Humans are different from monsters, at the same time, those two knights are one of the best in the group. They could easily team up with that Doe if he decided to run or attack them.”“They don’t have their armor though.”Prince Gast replied.“Your Majesty, armor or not, I don't believe that Doe can take care of the knights…”Andre paused for a bit and touched his chin like he was thinking.“The most probable reason is… they move farther from the camp to hunt… those insect monsters might have disturbed the environment
Cole arrives back to Yggdrasil together with countless termite monsters.“My Lord.”Caz welcomed him as usual and he nodded back at him.Cole looks past Caz near the house built for him.Starfish is resting over the spider-like vine car.Some vines are also tangled around his body to secure her in that ‘vehicle’.When Cole looked at Starfish he just shook his head and moved on.“Mentor!”(Mentor!? I thought we got past that and we got back to My Lord or Master… Why did it return to that?)Of course the one that greeted him with a wild smile is none other than Marbas.“How was it Mentor? Are they great? What can you tell me about them?”Immediately Marbas produced a notebook from his small bag and revealed a pen ready to write any information I wanted to give.“Their performance is good, actually… better… they could easily defeat countless knights without worry.”Then Cole shook his head.“However.”Marbas face look to him with a serious face.“We cannot control them strategically.”“
“My Lord, may I bring back Nabel momentarily in Yggdrasil so we can update the current status of the ‘survivors’.” Cole nodded. “Oh!” Alicia continues with a very surprising reaction like she just remembers things. “From what I have heard there will be various cities that will be attacked, isn’t that right Lord Cole?” (Wait… are planning to get more workers from there?) “Yes, those cities that are against Prince Adam will be destroyed to cover up the current quest… Are you planning to get more ‘residents’ in the city?” “My Lord, we already sent some people there beforehand, together with the batch of residents that visited the village.” Alicia then shook his head. “It’s not about the residents this time My Lord… resources… can we… harvest the resources in each city together with residents.” “Hmmm… plundering the cities that are being attacked by monsters… Hmmm… Starfish could make those residents that will plunder the city as ‘allies’ so they will be invisible to the eyes of
After some time, Cole informs everyone that he will open the gate after lunch.That means the ‘bandits’ will not prepare to move out from Yggdrasil together with the ‘insect flying vehicle’ that they prepared.And so the time comes and Cole arrives at Caz house.There he witnessed the new group that is tasked to raid the cities.Buzzzz! Buzzz!A behemoth type monster, like double the elephant size with large wings on its back.The monster looks like a big beetle with a very small head.There are several large baskets, capable of holding multiple people with wheels on them tied to the monster's body.“Those are interesting…”Cole whispered to himself.“My Lord!”Alicia shouted and waved her hand to call me.‘Lord Cole!’‘My Lord!’After that everyone began to greet him which became very uncomfortable very fast.I wave back to a bunch of people until I reach Alicia and Caz, who are standing beside her.“Lord Cole, it is still in the experimental stage but do you also want to use one of
“What is the current news around the kingdom?” King Arque El Amery asks his men while sitting in the throne. “Your Majesty, the attack didn’t subside… from the reports that we are getting in, some of our territories have fallen to the monsters.” Then another of his men bowed to him and continued. “Cities have been destroyed, several of the civilians died in the cities and several nobles have been wounded and hurt, we still cannot get the confirmation because most of those fled without anything in them. The information that we gathered came from our own people that are stationed on those territories or it came from a report on their side before we lost contact.” “Hmmm… this… pest really put my kingdom into a tough spot.” King Arque said non-chantly. His reaction didn't even change for a bit. “Yes, Your Majesty, some of the territories are asking for help. They need the help of the king's knights and…” That person pauses for a bit and gulps down his saliva. “Food and supplies…”
‘Your Majesty, please we beg of you!?’‘Your Majesty…’‘Your Highness, just send your knights to help us out!’Due to the sudden appearance of those insect monsters the whole kingdom is in panic.Because of the constant request for help the crown made a decision that the adviser of the king will be the one who will filter this request and give them to the king within the presence of the representative behind the throne room.However, their request fell into deaf ears.Now, all of the representatives are begging for help behind the line of knights inside the throne room.King Arque surveys the area and looks at each representative that is begging on their knees in front of him.Some of them are crying and the king can see desperation in their eyes.Some of us bowed their heads to the floor, touching it with their forehead while begging for help.And some, some were lost in thought… didn’t know what to do next and how to save their territory.Their cry, their desperation, their humiliat
(Berserkers?)(Those are the people that save Adam from the Assassin? Are you telling me that they are the ones that are keeping that little boy safe all this time.)The king falls into a deep thought but he cannot help it.Their plan to kill Adam, his son and the only thing that is giving hope to the opposition, failed again and again.He even took advantage of the monster incident that is happening all around the kingdom.But still, the boy lives.And this time, he might have known the cause of it, the one who is keeping that brat alive.(Berserkers? After this monster incident I have to take care of them first before dealing with the boy.)But for now… King Arque looked at the face of the people here.He could see a glimmer of hope in their eyes.And he hated it.(I have to know more…)“I see… the latest rumor that you heard is that, my boy, Prince Adam just liberated Xymon’s capital… then do you have any news on Baron Louis?”The representative shook his head.“Unfortunately, You
King Arque came back to his room stressed with all the things that were happening around the kingdom.The monster attack that is plaguing his kingdom.Prince Gust hasn't sent any update on his whereabouts yet.Prince Adam, taking the spotlight in these dark times.The territories weren't able to send their tax and product.“Sigh…”Arque exhales while he glances out his window.But then… He squinted.There is smoke rising in the distance.He turns around to move towards the door but just as he is about to move.Knock! Knock! Knock!Knock! Knock!A rapid knock was heard from the door.“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!”A panicking voice shouted from behind.“Come in!”The door opened and one of his advisers came in, sweating in his forehead.“They are here your majesty, they are here!”“Hmmm… who’s here?”“The insects your majesty, the insect monsters appear near the wall.”“How could that happen? Did the other territories fall or did the monster pass by them… even so, we have multiple fort
