Chapter 165 - 164 – How Was The Main Battle?



After that, Lucio realized that Carbrand and Riata were a couple.

\'And it looks like Carbrand doesn\'t want kids and Riata is getting irritated by it.\' Lucio thought about how common this was. He couldn\'t deny that before Lisandra was born he felt the same way.

He thought that if he had a child his work would be impaired, maybe that\'s what Carbrand thought.

But of course, Lucio didn\'t get involved in their relationship, that was something they should discuss. What he did was just keep silent as he listened to their discussion about it.

The other two group members seemed used to it as they didn\'t seem to mind.

\'Carbrand should give Riata a child soon,\' Lucio thought as he smiled bitterly.

And so 20 minutes passed. Everyone had already finished eating and seemed to be ready to leave. Except for Carbrand, who had drunk more than he needed to and looked a little tipsy.

Seeing this Lucio got a little angry at the man. He accepted the mission and ended up getting drunk.

Riata seemed to have noticed this and got impatient too, but she just dragged Carbrand upstairs saying, "Let\'s get ready to leave, but before that, I need to have a good talk with this guy here."

She grabbed Carbrand by the arm and dragged him along like it was no big deal.

"We\'ll also get ready, you can wait here," Tomhe said and then went upstairs with Nalett.

\'Are these two also a couple? I think they match." Lucio watched the two younger people coming up the stairs. For a moment he could feel Nalett\'s gaze on him, but he didn\'t care.

** Changing to first-person here **

About another 20 minutes passed before the group of four adventurers descended the stairs. With them were the same old woman who probably owned this inn.

As soon as she saw me she looked a little annoyed. No, maybe she\'s just a difficult person to deal with.

Old people are sometimes complicated.

"We\'re ready to go, shall we go?" Carbrand was the first to descend, and the other three appeared close behind with the lady.

"Let\'s go. But how did you choose to go? With a carriage or on horseback?" I anxiously hoped that each of them would have a horse, but I was mistaken, it looks like they wanted to go in a carriage.

"I\'m sorry about that, but Tomhe and Nalett don\'t get along very well with horses." Riata smiled bitterly as she said this. Nalett doesn\'t seem to mind, but Tomhe looked a little embarrassed.

Well, an adventurer who not knows how to ride a horse was a little rare.

"No problem, as long as you guys go there I think it\'s okay." I was really worried that it would take too long, but nothing could be done about it.

So we left the inn to start our journey, until.

\'Wait. I have an idea! Why didn\'t I think about it before?\' I think this would work, so I caught the attention of the four adventurers.

"I think I have an idea," I said enthusiastically.

"Hm?" The first one to look at me was Carbrand. Then the other three people also looked at me to hear what I had in mind.

"Why don\'t you carry Tomhe with you and Nalett doesn\'t go along with Riata? I think that way we can get there faster."

"I think so... But where are we going to put our stuff?" Carbrand lifted the bag he carried in his hand. It was a bag that looked like it was full of stuff, it was probably water and food.

Well, I don\'t know why they would keep food in their room, so maybe it\'s something else... Should I ask?

"What are you taking there?"

"On here? Bottles of water, bread, clothes, and weapons."

"Do you plan to take a shower on the road or something?"

"That\'s not for me. Riata can\'t stand being in dirty clothes while traveling. Not just her, that girl over there too." He pointed his finger at Nalett, but the girl didn\'t mind and continued with her usual expression.

"I understand."

"You are worried, aren\'t you?"

"Of course, but I think it\'s okay."

And so it was decided that we were going by carriage.

####

After some time, the four adventurers had found a carriage. When I asked them about it, apparently the carriage belonged to the owner of the inn they were staying in earlier.

Speaking of which, the carriage was in a stable where there were also other carriages and some horses.

They took 2 horses and the third horse that would pull the carriage was mine. I had decided to go in the carriage with them as I couldn\'t go ahead alone anyway.

As Riata, Carbrand, and I managed to drive the carriage, it was decided that we would take turns between the three of us during the journey.

The first person to drive the carriage... It was me.

I was sitting at the front of the carriage as I drove to the city gate and the four adventurers were at the back as they talked amongst themselves.

As it was a matter between them, I decided to focus on the road and not meddle in their conversation.

And so I continued along the main street until I reached the gate.

As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by Crow and other guards.

"So are you leaving already? I hope your son is okay." He said as he waved.

"Thank you very much. I\'ll come over here so we can have a beer together later." I responded excitedly.

"I\'ll be waiting for it," Crow yelled as the carriage pulled away from the city. Now it was time to begin our journey to the village.

We had barrels of water and food. Of course, we would have to hunt during the trip as our stock is not enough.

Beastled Army. Some days before.

After Noah was pronounced dead and his body thrown to the monsters, the king\'s guard returned to join the main army while acting nonchalant even having just killed a child.

The commander who was at a distance and watched everything celebrated the guard\'s victory and the death of that little child. The Vice commander was equally happy as he smiled contentedly.

The soldiers who saw this seemed a little worried about it. Were your superiors so crazy as to commemorate the death of a child? To them, that was just crazy.

"Okay, okay, now that that brat is dead we can get started." While the fight between the guard and that child was taking place, the soldier the commander had sent to the capital had returned.

The king\'s orders were.

"Kill them all." That was the order.

Hearing these words the commander was happy and excited for the start of the war, but this happiness only lasted a few minutes.

With his excitement, the guard who had previously fought the child slowly approached while acting normally.

Seeing this, the commander looked surprised and a little scared.

"About the monsters, most of them were destroyed by that child." He said it like it was no big deal. Hearing this, the first thing the commander did was be in shock.

Soon after his face was gradually turning red, showing that he was very angry.

"THAT DAMN BRAT!!!" He yelled as he gritted his teeth. The soldiers nearby were startled by his sudden change in behavior.

"HE JUST DESTROYED EVERYTHING!!" The commander tapped his foot on the ground with all his strength.

"Calm down, there are still some monsters left and our king also ordered us to fight, you won\'t have too many problems in this battle." That was the biggest phrase the king\'s guard had said since the commander found him.

"That\'s it, you guys are strong... THAT\'S IT!" The angry commander started to smile as if he were the happiest person in the world.

His emotions were changing so quickly that people believed his mind was being disturbed by something.

After this dialogue, the commander just screamed.

"THIS BATTLE WILL BEGIN. GYAHAHAHA." He gave a loud and somewhat bizarre laugh.

The animal-eared soldiers who had been on guard before were now even more focused. Some soldiers were sent back to bring the rest of the monsters.

And the most important. The king\'s eight guards were standing in the front lines, leaving Southlein\'s army quite intimidated. 

They had received the information of the massacre that had taken place earlier.

But now that they had a lot more soldiers, they believed it would be possible to win.

Southlein\'s commander wanted to wait for the army of 200 monsters to arrive but after those explosions... And Beastled\'s army began to assemble, he couldn\'t stay calm.

He also organized his soldiers with the help of other deputy commanders.

Before long, his army was fully assembled and it was like a giant anthill that spread for miles. The number of soldiers in each army was very different.

Southlein\'s army was much larger.

But Southlein\'s commander knew.. Even they have more soldiers, they could still lose.
