History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 375
375fury. It's best to break down the obstacles (3)
“From now on, what I am saying may sound a bit extreme, but we will have to force all the people who live here in Namaran out of the city. Every single person is left out..”
“……yes?”
This is Count Namaran’s office..
As she was wrapping up her busy day, Siluria Namaran, the former Lady of Namaran and the current Count of Namaran, slightly frowned her picturesque eyebrows..
“What do you mean by that??”
She felt puzzled..
It was Lloyd who I had said hello to earlier in the afternoon..
They expressed their happiness at meeting each other after a long time, and also expressed their concerns about the city's cliffs, which have recently shown signs of collapse again..
Not even half a day has passed since then..
“By any chance, have you already figured out the cause of the re-collapse phenomenon??”
If it's the Lloyd Frontera you know, it might be like that..
Because he is the one who saved the city from the threat of warlocks and hell knights..
Even back then, he showed predictions and performance that exceeded everyone’s expectations..
The new Count Namaran's guess was correct..
“Yes, I figured it out..”
“Then, there must be a reason for the evacuation order to send all the city's residents out.?”
“of course.”
“Could you please let me know.”
“It won't be difficult. The second Namaran Wall incident will occur..”
“……yes?”
The Count's face hardens.
Lloyd’s calm explanation continued..
“The incident will occur at midnight exactly six days from now. The artificial stakes installed around the city's cliffs will move using black magic. It forms a kind of magic circle. So, the same mana barrier as last time will surround the city, and all living things within it will not be able to escape death..”
“what…….”
“And the Hell Knight will wake up. Unlike last time, in complete form.”
“…….”
“The city will be reduced to ashes, and all nearby provinces caught up in the Hell Knight's activities will be devastated. That's how I expect future events to unfold..”
“Could it be that I got some kind of prophecy??”
“no. but-”
Lloyd said with a grin..
“This may be thanks to the fact that we obtained some crucial clues while investigating the site where the pile was broken. I made an inference based on those clues and came to a conclusion..”
Honestly it's a lie.
Actually, I saw it as an ending spoiler a little while ago..
In the ending spoiler of the latest version, your future self is…….
‘I was killed in vain by a Hell Knight..’
Unfortunately, I was separated from Haviel..
In that state, I encountered a complete(?) Hell Knight..
crashed.
There was a fierce battle.
I made some good saves and held on..
but that was all.
In the first place, he was a Hell Knight who was able to overwhelm the Sword Master..
Moreover, the Hell Knight descending on Namaran is?
Among them, he was the leader of the 1st Corps of Hell called Named..
I fought hard, but I couldn't hold on..
I sang a song just in case, but it wasn't enough..
I was devastated and waited for Haviel, but it was no use..
In the end, his entire body was torn and broken like a rag, and he met a bloody end. The moment she raised the shovel to continue holding on in that situation, a sword was inserted into her heart..
That was the approximate end of my future self, as seen through this ending spoiler..
‘Tsk. It hurt so much.’
Lloyd's shoulders shook without realizing it..
A new feeling arises, the feeling of a sword cutting into my heart..
That's the problem with ending spoilers..
It's so vivid that you can feel all the sensations at the ending. Including pain..
“Anyway, so-”
Lloyd said, shaking off the thoughts that came to his mind for a moment..
“If things continue like this without any measures in place, everyone will experience a terrible disaster..”
“What is the probability that the prediction will be correct??”
“100I'm looking at it as a percentage.”
“…….”
Lady Namaran, no, the Count kept his mouth shut..
Lloyd gave her a moment to think..
Eventually she expressed her doubts..
“great. I will believe you. Because it's you and no one else. Because he was the one who saved me, my father, and everyone in this city. But still, there's something I'd like to ask..”
“Yes, please ask..”
“Is an evacuation order to send residents out of the city the only way to prepare??”
“yes.”
“Why? If this happens in six days, there won't be enough time to be ready to fight back..”
“Are you feeling uncomfortable because you feel like you're running away?.”
“Yeah, a little bit..”
Young Count Namaran nodded..
“The resident evacuation order is not an order that can be easily issued. Isn't that right? Anyway, this is the home and base where everyone in this city lives. If abandoning it and avoiding it is the best option, then that's something... … Because it seems like you're backing out without even trying..”
“Yes, I understand that sentiment. But you don't have to worry.”
“Why??”
“The general evacuation order is not about running away..”
“So, does it have a different meaning??”
“yes. I'm setting a trap.”
“trap… … Yes?”
Count Namaran's brow furrowed..
The smile at the corner of Lloyd's mouth became more relaxed..
“Yes, in order to solve the problem, shouldn't we pull out the root of the problem at once?.”
“So you're trying to set a trap for a complete strike..”
“That's it.”
“If so, can you tell me a little more detailed plan??”
“Sure.”
Lloyd smiled happily..
Fortunately, Count Namaran believed us..
So now you can push ahead with your plan with confidence..
Confident, he slowly approached the count..
“Then listen for a moment. From now on, if it leaks out, it will be a difficult story..”
“yes, go ahead.”
“So, here's how I plan to do it... … Whisper whisper… … Everyone stay safe... … This and that... … At the public hall… … Blah blah…….”
Lloyd's whisper continued..
Young Count Namaran's eyes became increasingly round..
And the next morning.
A plan to evacuate residents throughout Namaran has been announced..
♣
“No, I mean. Does this mean that I suddenly have to leave my house and go out of the city? Without bottom or end?”
“Still dad? They'll prepare a tent for you to stay in for a few days..”
“Tsk. Since there is a tent, does that mean it’s underground? What about work??”
“They say it can't be helped. They said they would ration meals instead..”
“rationing? In the meantime, they just tell you not to starve to death. Wow, thank you so much, thank you. Ugh, tsk.”
“But dad.”
“why.”
“The young count also made this request in the announcement..”
“What did you say?.”
“This is for everyone's safety..”
“safety?”
“yes.”
“what safety?”
“The slope that has been starting to collapse these days. Because of that, evacuate the city and conduct a thorough ground survey? Well, roughly, you have to do something like that..”
“Complete ground survey?”
“yes.”
“Who is doing that??”
“This is Lloyd Frontera..”
“what?”
The kitchen of an ordinary home in downtown Namaran.
There, a widower who was complaining over breakfast stopped..
As if he couldn't believe what he just heard, he carefully asked his only daughter.
“Did you just say Lloyd Frontera??”
“yes.”
The only daughter nodded with a sullen expression..
At the same time, the look of dissatisfaction that had taken over the widower's face disappeared..
“Umm, huh, huh huh. Did you do that? Lloyd Frontera is investigating.?”
“Yes, that's what it said in the announcement..”
“Ugh, indeed. I don't even know that. If that's the case, I'll tell you that first..”
The widower burst into laughter.
Perhaps embarrassed by his cynical attitude towards the introduction order, he added a word for no reason..
“Then, the evacuation order must be followed faithfully. Okay, when can I leave the house??”
“They said a tent would be assigned within five days..”
“okay? Well then, shall we pack our bags after breakfast??”
“yes dad.”
The widower lifted the bread and the only daughter smiled brightly..
Similar conversations took place throughout Namaran city..
In some shabby stable.
At the street vendor preparing for the morning business..
In the bedroom of a newlywed young couple.
At the guard post where they started their day's work..
Everyone tilted their heads at the sudden evacuation order..
I expressed doubt and dissatisfaction as to whether this was still possible..
Then I heard Lloyd Frontera's name and?
He readily agreed, as if asking when he had been dissatisfied..
The reason was simple.
This was because most of the city's residents regarded Lloyd as a lifesaver..
I can trust Lloyd Frontera's work..
It may be inconvenient for a few days, but I can follow through..
I agreed and obediently waited for the evacuation tent to be assigned..
However, not everyone silently agreed to the evacuation order..
There were still some who expressed doubts about the contents of the announcement..
In particular, the vassals of the Count Namaran family were like this..
“My lord? I’m embarrassed to say this, but I think this is a bit… … I think it's strange.”
“Why??”
Count Namaran put down his fork..
I stopped eating and looked at the administrator..
The administrator who came to see her panting early in the morning spoke cautiously..
“This is the general evacuation decree announced earlier. That's, um... … little… … Because I don't understand.”
“I don't understand?”
“The complete ground survey conducted by Count Lloyd Frontera is a bit strange..”
Stuttering at first, gradually calming down.
The administrator expressed his doubts..
“Of course, I know that the recent collapse of the ground and mysterious magical explosions are problems for the city. It is also true that measures must be taken. It is also understandable that a complete ground investigation is conducted to find the cause. But is it really necessary to send the residents out of the city to conduct the investigation? … That's a bit…….”
“That's strange.?”
“Yes, my lord..”
The administrator nodded honestly..
Count Namaran smiled..
“I understand. Expressing such doubts. Of course it would be strange. If you think about it just a little, you will probably wonder that question. But Lloyd Frontera, if you don't do what he says, we'll all be in big trouble..”
“yes? Are you really saying that it is an excuse to conduct a thorough ground survey??”
“What a relief. Because I have a quick and capable administrator,.”
“…….”
“It's difficult to reveal right now, but the crumbling ground is only a superficial problem. In fact, there is a bigger problem lurking, and Count Lloyd Frontera has proposed a resident evacuation decree to root out the problem..”
“Then my lord…….”
“yes. Of course I believe him. So administrator?”
“Yes, my lord..”
“Please convince the remaining vassals. Now is not the time to argue, but to come together and take action. You know.?”
“……Yes, I understand.”
The administrator who came to raise questions was rather persuaded..
While half a day passes like that.
The vassals of the Count Namaran family also joined their lord's opinion..
It was from then on..
The resident introduction plan has progressed steadily..
Outside the city of Namaran, a large camp has been created at the foot of a cliff..
In just five days, tent allocation and relocation were completed..
Most of the livestock were also there..
It was literally like emptying the city..
Instead, Lloyd?
In this way, the empty city was filled with tens of thousands of insects, earthworms, etc..
As Count Namaran proceeds with his village introduction plan,.
I searched the nearby forests and fields like teeth..
Since it is a blackbird, I received help from Kkomingi, who is a natural insect killer..
Javiel, who has superhuman senses, was also mobilized..
He was passionate about collecting insects..
We captured dozens of moths, grasshoppers, earthworms, and other beetles..
Those obnoxious mosquitoes collected more..
and waited.
I spent a day in an empty city with no people..
Spending a quiet noon.
Passing through the sunlight-red afternoon.
We entered a night where the moonlight was the only breathing space..
And finally, around midnight, when the traveler's constellation lights up the northern sky..
Signs of unfamiliar and unstable change have been revealed..
Tsuzzzzzzzz……!
cliffs supporting the city.
Stiff piles installed to surround a cliff.
Dozens of artificial stakes emitted an eerie light..
A barrier of magical power was formed that flickered ominously in black and purple..
Tsushaaaaa-!
A nightmarish barrier rising like a ghost with the power to consume even the moonlight and starlight..
The second Namaran Wall incident was beginning..
♣
Tsushasha shot… … Tsutsuthot!
The sack shook..
In a tightly tied muzzle.
Thousands of beetles ran amok.
Namaran's magnificently rising wall.
All of the life force is absorbed by the barrier..
I let out a desperate struggle all over my body..
The situation in the sack next to it was the same..
thousands of grasshoppers.
Earthworms, moths and mosquitoes.
Everyone died, struggling with their wings, antennae, legs, and torsos..
All of my vitality was taken away and I became withered..
The life force that was stolen was absorbed into Namaran's barrier..
The wall refined vitality..
focused on one point.
Public hall in Namaran town.
The monument in the center of the spacious hall shook..
……Quad Deuk!
Life force is concentrated.
Corrupted by the power of evil living spirits.
The monument erected to celebrate overcoming the Namaran Wall incident was broken into pieces..
Kwajak-!
A transcendent being has opened its eyes amidst the splintering monument..
In the past, a knight from hell was defeated in this place..
The leader of the 1st Corps of Hell who was destroyed by Haviel and Lloyd.
It was Sir Georexius..
- I am…….
Quad Deuk!
A black bone that resurrects from the gap between hell and extinction..
It looked different from before, when it was imperfect..
My limbs were fine..
Armor lurked above the bones that glowed black like obsidian..
The armor of pure corrupted magic let out the roar of a grim reaper..
The great sword that rules over the devils of hell scatters eerie sword names..
- I'm not done fighting yet.
card deuk, card deuk!
Hell Knight Lord Georexius raises his head after destroying the monument..
A noble eye shined through the skull-covered helmet..
It was a glow of regret and obsession about the past fight..
In fact, the commander of Hell's 1st Corps was angry as he recalled the previous battle where he was defeated and destroyed..
- It's different this time. Swordmaster Habiel Asrahan. Treacherous Lloyd Frontera. Do you still think you can stop me like last time? Then it would be a miscalculation.
Quad deuk, quack.!
I stretched out my hand.
The monument was smashed..
I touched the floor with a hand filled with the power of slaughter..
The floor of the public hall cracked with that simple touch..
- Today I finally regained my full self. Sword Master? Come as often as you like. take on the challenge.
Kwajajak, kwadeuk!
upper body slowly rising.
The flames of hell are surging and surging.
The aura of fear that would thrill any living being without exception spread everywhere..
Hell Knight Lord Georexius roared with sincerity..
- Only! Only a Grand Master who cannot exist in the world! You will be able to defeat me! So come, Javiel Asrahan! Let's fight the battle we couldn't finish last time!
Hell Knight Lord Georexius roared with sincerity..
But it was that moment.
Suddenly, a leisurely, sly voice pierced my skull from behind..
“Yes, welcome. This is my first time as a Grand Master?”
- ……uh?
What does this mean?.
Hell Knight Sir Georexius looked back in surprise..
I had to witness it and realize it soon..
So, Javiel's merciless, Grand Master hack attack was coming with the force of splitting the universe..
……Quaaaaa!
