History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 106
106fury. Captain Frontera (2)
Daeeeeeng-!
A low, clear resonant sound rang out..
Transmitted a certain wavelength to the air.
The transmitted wavelength reached the body of the grasshopper..
Stimulated the hearing organ below the chest-hind limb junction.
The nerve center was tapped through the auditory organ..
Then the nerve center responded by stimulating it..
Follow that sound, they say.
Parts!
The 132,645th grasshopper tried to leap towards Baron Frontera but stopped..
I relaxed my hind legs..
I also relaxed my stance to attack my prey..
And quickly turned the body to the other side..
A place where a low and clear resonant sound was just heard.
It was facing out the window..
Taat!
132,645The second grasshopper leaped.
He escaped out of the mansion through a broken window..
The same was true for other grasshoppers..
As if a large, invisible unconscious mind is controlling the group..
The first grasshopper turned around as soon as it left the window..
Everyone ran and made a fuss trying to get out all at once..
All remaining windows were broken..
The window frame was crushed..
trampled on each other.
Just like that, they made a fuss among themselves and left the mansion like the tide..
The resonance sound once again stimulated their auditory organs..
Daeeeeng-!
‘What is this…….’
Baron Frontera's eyes widened..
The swarm of locusts quickly moved away from the mansion..
It was an unbelievable sight.
“you just heard?”
The sound of my wife asking.
The Baron turned to his wife..
“I heard. The voice that was heard just now along with a sound like a large bell being struck…….”
“It was Lloyd.”
The Baron and Lady looked into each other's eyes and nodded..
It is certainly.
It was my son's voice that I could understand even if I were to fall into the end of the world, the end of hell..
The next moment, the baron and his wife made their move without any hesitation..
ran down the stairs.
I passed the messed up front door..
In an instant, I crossed the empty courtyard..
I stood at the front gate with a relatively wide view..
and saw.
The sight of thousands and tens of thousands of locusts moving in one direction..
The two course horses galloping at the forefront.
The sight of two people galloping while driving a courser.
“……Lloyd? Lord Asrahan?”
A couple's mutterings of astonishment.
Passing by the murmur, another grasshopper belatedly flew through the air..
I passed the driveway of the baron's mansion..
It fell on the roof of the only pub in town..
Wow, I ignored the bar owner who shouted in surprise and jumped up again..
Tens of thousands of them joined the procession of their compatriots..
Things like that happened all over the Frontera territory..
Daeng-!
A resonant sound rings out..
The grasshopper that was swallowing the straw bale in the barn flinched..
He even spit out the straw he was holding and ran towards the sound..
Daeeeeng-!
A low, clear sound echoes again.
A grasshopper that was about to attack a calf in a barn stopped..
It gave up on its desirable prey and flew out of the barn..
Daeeeeeng-!
The solemn vibration rings again.
The shepherd boy who cried out in fear.
The hunter girl who resisted by the boy's side.
An engineer soldier holding his family's hand and praying.
Even the new wife who screamed to protect her nursing baby.
Everyone saw the swarm of locusts that were about to attack them stop..
I also got to see the back of a grasshopper that has given up on its prey and spreads its wings following the resonance sound..
And everyone finally saw.
An unimaginable scene happening in this territory..
Deeeeenn-!
Javiel's sword moved to its sheath..
It fell hard and hit the metal..
Daeeeeng-!
A black pot lid measuring 1.2 meters in diameter gave off a heavy sound..
Lloyd's shout came from behind the pot lid..
“good! Once more!”
Lloyd running on a courser holding a pot lid like a shield.
Javiel, who was riding alongside him, responded to the call with a full swing of his sword sheath..
Wedge, daeeeng-!
Javiel hits and Lloyd blocks.
A swung sword scabbard and a battered pot lid..
Just like that, every time Javiel hit the pot lid held up by Lloyd, a low, clear resonant sound rang out..
Each time, the number of locusts gathered increased..
Of course, that didn't mean the two were surrounded by a swarm of locusts..
It was thanks to a course horse with a galloping spell..
“good! After all, hunting mobs is a disaster if the herd is missing.!”
“What is a miscellaneous mob?!”
“There is such a thing! once again!”
“yes!”
Tou doo doo doo, daeeeng-!
I shook off the resonance at the forefront of the sprint..
Every time this happened, the size of the chasing locusts gradually increased..
A faint smile appeared on Lloyd's lips..
‘good. It's going according to plan.’
Successful gathering of locusts.
A mob-purging operation that works well.
Suddenly, Lloyd remembered the novel Iron Blooded Knight..
‘It was a description of an orc tribe in the Eastern Wastes..’
In the novel, the orcs lived by hunting monsters to find food..
But the hunt wasn't always successful.
Starving was common..
Moreover, if even the stored food runs out,?
At such times, there was a method that the orc tribe used to survive..
It was a method of striking a large gong in the center of the wilderness to produce a low, clear resonant sound..
‘It was said that this type of resonance attracts Locus locusts that live in the wastelands, I guess. They explained that this is because the wavelength of this resonant sound is similar to the sound they make to call their mates during the mating season..’
He decided to trust that memory..
This was because it was believed that only then could the grasshoppers be gathered in one place..
‘I have to collect it first. You have to collect them and put them in one queue. Otherwise? When are you going to search for all these things and catch them all? Before that happens, there won't be a single blade of grass left in the barony territory..’
If this wasn't done right away, everything in the territory, including the grass, houses, and people, would be eaten up..
Then you too?
It's going to be ruined..
Of course, such a sad ending is an extreme specification..
We need to kill the locust swarms as efficiently as possible before they come out for another month..
To do that, you need to gather them all in one place so they can be easily caught..
‘That's the basics of mob hunting. like this!’
nettle!
The sheath of the sword that Javiel strikes down.
I blocked it with all my might with the lid of the pot..
Daeeeeeng-!
‘……That's it.’
It hit me so hard that my entire arm and hand holding the pot lid became numb..
Tremendous vibrations and waves passed through my entire body..
It feels like being inside the Bosingak bell, which rings majestically on the first day of the new year. Or, it feels like you are hugging a huge concert woofer speaker that is pounding furiously like a bamboo lady..
I felt slightly nauseous..
“hey?”
A flounder eye peeked out from the edge of the pot lid..
I looked straight at Javiel across from me..
“I've been feeling this for a while now, and it seems like the swing of the sheath that hits the pot lid is a bit emotional.?”
“yes? what do you mean by that?”
Javiel, who was driving a courser with his horses' heads side by side, glanced this way..
I tilted my head as if I didn’t know what he was saying..
“I am just faithfully carrying out the strategy suggested by Lloyd..”
“Oh, is that so??”
“Yes, like this.”
Wedge, daeeeng-!
‘……Woo-eup!’
My stomach turned once again..
Lloyd's flounder eyes narrowed even further..
“Somehow, the sheath swing seems a little stronger than before..”
“The harder you hit it, the louder the sound will resonate, and the more locusts will gather..”
“okay? Should I change it then? Do you want to hold the pot lid??”
“Why??”
“I thought I could hit harder. Triple blast furnace.”
“I refuse.”
“why?”
“It's better to do this now.”
Wedge, Daeeng.-!
A more powerful swing hit the pot lid..
Lloyd's face crumpled from the force..
But it was just as effective.
The swarms of locusts began to pursue us more persistently..
‘Fortunately, the operation is working..’
To be honest, I wasn't sure if this operation would work..
When I actually tried it, it worked much better than I expected..
I felt like the Pied Piper, no, I felt like a pot-lid master..
“So come on! once again!”
I willingly lifted the lid of the pot..
I blocked the sword sheath that Javiel struck..
Now it wasn't important who played and who got the right role..
In fact, it was okay to be beaten a hundred or a thousand times like this..
‘As long as Yeongman is safe, this is about it.!’
So, if a happy remaining life and retirement are guaranteed, this is it.!
I can take it as much as I want.
With that in mind, Lloyd quickly looked at the surrounding situation..
‘good. The herding is going well. From now on, we need to minimize the damage..’
First of all, the basic prerequisite for the success of the operation, herding, was successful..
So now is the time to expand the scope of the drive..
We must somehow drive away as many locust swarms as possible..
That way it will be easier to clear them all in one room..
“ruler! Let’s go for a spin like this! Along the outskirts of the territory!”
“All right.”
The two headed towards the outskirts of the territory..
ran along the street.
left the main town.
We passed a few villages..
I passed through rice paddies, fields, and orchards..
Every time that happened, I hit the pot lid and blocked it..
Occasionally, a resonant sound was made loudly..
Wherever the two men continued to run, new swarms of grasshoppers joined the chase. It passed 50,000, 100,000, 150,000, and finally 200,000. And then it continued to increase without end..
Lloyd wasn't satisfied with that..
“to the south!”
Immediately after completing a large circle around the outskirts of Frontera territory and clearing away mobs, Lloyd pointed south..
It was in the direction of the Marez clearing..
No, his finger was pointing to an area further beyond the clearing..
“Go to Viscounty. Follow me carefully!”
“All right.”
A strange image appeared in Javiel's eyes for a moment..
The Viscounty of Lacona?.
It was a little unexpected.
‘Are you sure you want to help there too?.’
In fact, the relationship with this baronial territory is not good..
No, actually, it's closer to an enemy relationship..
But if you think about it another way, the residents there did nothing wrong..
‘You put aside your personal grudges with Viscount Lacona and thought of the safety of the local residents first..’
Javiel nodded..
If the Barony of Frontera was attacked by a swarm of locusts, the Viscounty of Lacona, located to the south, would not be safe either. The residents there must also be swept away by a sudden disaster..
It was something I hadn’t thought about..
I looked back at Lloyd with a bit of admiration..
At that moment, a message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..
Ding dong.
[Javiel Asrahan admires your righteous actions and is in a good mood..]
[Javiel Asrahan's affinity for you has increased by +3..]
[Current relationship with Javiel Asrahan : +8]
[Earned 54 RP by slightly improving relationships with key characters.]
[RP you currently own : 4083]
‘Huh, indeed. It's a righteous act.’
Lloyd smiled bitterly without realizing it..
I guess I was a little misunderstood..
‘I'm not going there with righteous intentions at all..’
It's true that you want to help..
However, I absolutely did not run to Viscount Lacona out of pity or pity or out of a surge of chivalry..
There is only one reason why he is running towards Viscounty now..
It was to protect the straw that was placed properly..
‘As long as the Viscounty of Lacona is safe, we will be able to collect water bills for a long time.!’
But if you fail,?
At best, the reward of installing a water supply disappears..
For the next several decades, you will have to pay water bills and the straw that will help you live a prosperous retirement will be drawn..
Such a sad situation should have been prevented..
Moreover, in terms of eradicating the locust swarm, the choice now was a natural one..
‘If we leave behind the swarms of locusts that have invaded our territory, secondary damage will occur on our side..’
After destroying the Viscounty Territory, they might attack the Barony Territory..
So, in order to eradicate them,?
It would be right to deal with those who attacked the Viscounty of Lacona by grouping them into a set menu..
“So let's go! Faster! under!”
I urged the courser..
I grabbed the lid of the pot with all my might..
The sprint magic showed its true value even more..
Doo doo doo doo-!
Entered the outskirts of Viscounty territory.
As expected, the Viscounty Territory was also ruled by the father..
The entire territory was covered by a huge swarm of locusts..
Chaotic chords mixed with people's screams and shouts and the flapping wings of locusts were scattered everywhere..
“let's go! under!”
I kicked the side of the courser..
I ran without hesitation.
I skipped the main road and passed through the village. Crossed the entire Viscounty territory.
A resonant sound erupted along with Haviel..
The guard who was fighting and bleeding.
The farmer and the woman who were running away.
The boy and girl who cried.
Even a newborn baby giggled while looking at a grasshopper trying to eat him..
Everyone heard the sound of resonance in a desperate moment..
I was saved by the sound created by Lloyd and Javiel..
Butsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Hundreds of thousands of locusts that had been covering the territory flew into the air..
They abandoned their respective prey and chased after Lloyd and Javiel..
It was a successful mob drive..
“Okay, now back to the Barony.!”
ran.
He marched with a swarm of locusts totaling 500,000..
It was a march toward designed extermination.
‘Mahrez clearing. Riverbank. You just have to go there.’
Lloyd recalled the point where Podong, Bang, and Hamangi were waiting..
The so-called extermination zone prepared during this operation..
I will exterminate the locusts there..
King Yeomra will give you a group ticket to the career counseling class..
It was the moment when Lloyd made a promise..
