Chapter 874 – Ep.872 the Collapsed Empire
Just like that! Just like that!
The sound of oil-soaked metal began to gradually get closer from afar.
“Anes. “Go and tell him to come quietly.”
“Yes. Master.”
Agnes, who had been resting for a moment after lining up the knights struggling below, jumped up and disappeared out of the arena.
“Ugh…”
“Shh, it’s okay.”
Marvius, who was deeply asleep, stirred in her arms, and I was afraid that she might wake up, so I quickly patted her small back and kissed her head.
Fortunately, Marvius quickly calmed down after rubbing his cheek against my chest a couple of times.
‘My hands are all scratched.’
Marvius’s clenched fist is a mess, with skin from bright red to skinny, with white skin sticking up here and there.
Moreover, the front part of the only piece of cloth I was wearing, which I was embarrassed to even call clothes because of what I had done before coming here, was stained purple and damp.
“Whoa, let’s calm down.”
Every time I looked at Marvius’s face, my stomach boiled, but I didn’t want to wake up Marvius, who was sleeping with a very comfortable face, so I just inhaled and exhaled on my own to soothe my boiling stomach.
… Just like that.
As I was smelling the unique, sweet body odor that only Marvius had, despite his scruffy appearance, the sound of metal that seemed to have been muffled somehow reached my ears once again.
When I turned my head towards where the sound came from, I saw Pink entering the arena and the traitors following behind.
‘There should be a lot.’
If you add up all the bitches who are groaning down there right now and the bitches who just came in, maybe it’s a little over three hundred?
‘I guess the rest are soldiers.’
Since the imperial palace is so large, the number will increase as you search, but if my prediction is correct, I think most of the traitors who were soldiers would have left the imperial palace and enjoyed entertainment somewhere on the island.
Even if I stayed, it would be obvious that the knights would lag behind, so there was no reason to stay.
Moreover, thanks to the adventurers, he was able to get along well with the demons, so he would have quit being a soldier and left at this point to look for new opportunities.
At least that’s what I would have thought if it were me.
Cheok–!!
Finally, a pink slut came right in front of her and stopped at attention in front of me with his mouth tightly shut, as if he had been told earlier.
… Gulp.
“Who are you?”
“”… ?””
A pink slut and the traitors under his command, who had been mercilessly rolling their eyes at the groans coming from below, strained their bodies and blinked.
“I asked who the bitch who just made noise was.”
“”…””
I could feel the already rigid atmosphere becoming even more rigid.
“Gagging, huh?!”
At that time, Agnes, who was standing next to Mariel, who seemed bored, suddenly came forward, grabbing the neck of one of the traitors who had followed a pink slut.
“Wow, big, big…” …”
“Are you that bitch?”
“Yes.”
The traitor, whose legs were off the floor, was so helpless that all he could do was hold on to Agnes’ hand with both hands and hold on to his freely movable legs.
I looked at a pink slut’s stern face for a moment as she watched Agnes and the traitor caught in her hands, and then gestured downwards toward her.
“Whoop?!”
At the same time, Agnes grabbed the traitor’s cheeks, not her neck, and closed her mouth.
Pop!!
“───!!”
“… ?!”
With her free hand, she jumped down, molding both of the traitor’s arms into the same shape as the ones groaning below.
“Answer quietly.”
Nod!!
Not only a pink slut but also the traitors standing behind him followed suit, moving their heads up and down eagerly.
“Daisy Ronbell. “You stay behind, the rest of us go downstairs and wait.”
“”… ?!””
Is it because I just saw her colleague dragged away by Agnes?
The traitors were shocked and hesitated when I told them to go down.
“Master.”
“I don’t like bullying the weak.”
Whoa!!
One of the traitors fell down in an instant, accompanied by a strong sound of wind.
“The exception is those bastards who break their oath of loyalty.”
One corner of Mariel’s mouth twitched.
As a signal, each time the wind blew, the hesitant traitors disappeared one by one down the audience seats.
Absolutely!!
The hesitant traitors came to their senses and jumped to their own feet only after exactly ten people had been dragged down by the wind.
I walked forward, holding Marvius up so he wouldn’t wake up.
“Place up the things that fell down as well.”
“Yes.”
Let’s turn around to sit down again.
Loud and small sounds began to emanate from behind me.
Every time that happened, a pink slut’s lips, which had been frozen in the same position he had first stopped in, twitched.
“I’m sure there are more traitors besides you, right?”
“Yes, yes…” There is…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, a pink slut answered my question with her lips quivering.
“How many of them are still remaining in the imperial palace now?”
“Well, I’m the only one left in the imperial palace, we’re the end… Are you… Well, I immediately took away everything I could take with me… Well, I have nothing to protect…”
“You mean, everything is outside the imperial palace?”
“Most of the soldiers, rice, and soldiers stayed because they were from the islands… “Some nobles must have returned to their territories.”
“Right.”
Is there really a leader who can remember each and every soldier?
Unfortunately, it seems difficult to hold all of the soldiers who participated guilty.
‘But it is possible in some cases.’
Search directly?
That’s one way, but it’s too inefficient.
So, I plan to make the citizens who are laughing and talking out there speak up directly.
Of course, it might be possible to find all of the soldiers.
Of course, this comes with the prerequisite of having plenty of time.
For that reason, it was a little difficult for me to find everyone, as I had to hurry up and just get things done.
“Master.”
Genoa, who had sent Giselle the news and brought Irina and her knights, came down from above.
“What about the knights?”
“There.”
Genoa pointed to the entrance where a pink slut came in, and soon after, knights in shabby clothes came in hesitantly.
“Omg?!”
“Woe, Her Royal Highness!!”
“Oh my god…”
They recognized Marvius, who was in her arms at the same time as me, just by looking at the back of her head, and they immediately recognized her and ran towards her in a huff.
“Quiet. “I barely fell asleep, but are you planning on waking me up?”
“”Huh?!””
Only then did the knights realize their mistake and opened their eyes wide, covering their mouths like they were in prison.
“And the knights leave the leader like that?”
“Haha…”
“What are you doing, leader…?” Thanks to Mr. Smith, you have overcome this crisis… ?”
“I’ll be sure to tell you when Irina wakes up.”
“Omg?!”
“S-Mr. Smith!! Please save me!!”
The two knights, who were not very good with their mouths, quickly approached me with pale, tired faces and grabbed me by the legs of my pants.
“Well, I saw what you guys were doing later.”
“Anything! Just ask me to do anything!”
“Even though we are in a weakened state, we will definitely give Smith strength!”
“Ugh…”
“”Huh!!””
It’s not like Dumb and Dumber.
As soon as Marvius started tossing and turning, the two of them covered each other’s mouths and burst into laughter.
“Genoa.”
“Why, what, me again?”
Genoa was very upset and pouted his lips, and I reached out my hand and caressed his cheek.
“Chii…”
Then Genoa ended up rubbing his cheek against my palm, which touched his cheek.
I lightly pinched Genoa’s cheek and said,
“What are you going to do with the one you trust the most?”
“… “Not that bitch Rita?”
Wow, sharp guy.
If it weren’t for Ellis’ presence, I would definitely trust Rita the most…
“I trust you as much as Rita.”
“In times like this, shouldn’t you just use empty words and say it’s me?”
“Huh. No.”
Letting go of her lightly whining Genoa cheek, I gave her Marvius, who was in her arms.
“Please take my friend over there to where the twins are.”
“Tell them to take good care of you?”
As I nodded her head, Genoa looked down at Marvius with her slightly disapproving eyes, then she snorted and walked towards Irina, who was riding on the back of another knight.
“Wow, Her Royal Highness is pounding… ?”
“Master Smith, you’re using magic?!”
Ah.
Come to think of it, I was the only one who showed up.
For some reason, everyone’s reactions were strange.
“Okay, just stay away. “Don’t stand still and sit comfortably on any stand.”
The guys who were holding onto my trouser legs, probably because they had committed a crime, jumped up as soon as I said anything and sat down right behind me.
The other knights who were watching this also sat in their empty seats.
“Why are you sitting down?”
“Uh…”
“Oh, he told me to sit down.”
“What. “I told him to just get off.”
“”… !!””
As soon as I could say anything, Dumb and Dumber, who had been sitting behind me, got up again and stood next to me.
“Daisy Ronbell.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Where are Lord Melbourne and the rest of the prisoners? No, no. “Is it in the imperial palace?”
“Hey, there is!! Yes, I know!!”
“Of course you should know.”
“Hi…”
He just looked down, and the blood completely disappeared from a pink slut’s face.
“You two. Follow us, explain the situation to the trapped prisoners, and bring all those who can move.”
“”Insect!!””
The two raise their heads while placing their right hands on their chests, where their hearts are located.
“What are you doing? “I’m not going.”
“Yes, yes!!”
A pink slut almost ran away, and Dumb and Dumber, who had saluted me, also quickly chased after a pink slut.
“Master.”
“Did you say that all you had to do was save your life?”
“… “Did you hear that?”
He spoke to Marie Elle, who shrugged her shoulders.
“I didn’t do anything stupid, so you can’t fix it?”
“Are you coming?”
With a completely unbelievable answer, Mari El slowly walked towards the entrance where the three people had run to.
‘If I show my face later, everyone will turn a blind eye to me.’
Leaving that to be the pleasure of that moment, I stood up and looked down at the audience.
“If I want to finish it tonight…”
