The best territory designer ever - Episode 390
390fury. Before the storm (2)
“Whoa, whoa. Lloyd Frontera, is that true? If you come here, you'll be able to meet people as strong as us.?”
rising dust.
A bloody smile blooming inside of it.
The Mermaid Queen was smiling happily as she looked this way..
It was a literal ‘killer smile’ that made everyone who saw it cringe..
‘Wow. Look at the muscles in the cheekbones too..’
How disciplined is the whole body to make even the muscles on the face grow so violently?.
Lloyd shrugged his shoulders unconsciously..
Instead, a welcoming smile bloomed on his face..
“haha. under. Thank you for coming, queen..”
“Thank you. Anyway, I wanted to see if the Jewel of Truth was well built, but what?.”
“Is that so.”
“yes. So the elite warriors came too..”
The Mermaid Queen's eyes pointed behind her..
behind where she points.
It's not that it's not the front yard of the manor house, it's already been turned into a competition venue (?) for muscle lumps..
It was crowded with elite mermaid warriors who followed the mermaid queen..
It didn't end there.
Even while Lloyd was looking behind the queen.
Mermaid warriors suddenly fell from the sky..
Someone is in the front yard of the mansion.
Someone else is in the backyard training ground.
A warrior stands in the mansion's driveway.
It was a situation that could be said to be a mermaid bombing..
“Well, you came a lot more than I thought.?”
“no. Not long. Because I only brought a thousand people..”
“however… … How on earth did you get here??”
“You saw it. I came here by running.”
“dot… … Pyo?”
“okay.”
The Mermaid Queen's muscular smile sparkled even more happily..
“We are a species that swims in the sea, from the deep sea to the waves of typhoon storms, with only a dolphin kick. That's because I'm confident in my strength to kick something with my fin. When I got out of the water, my buoyancy disappeared, so it felt awkward at first, but it didn't really matter. Rather, since I moved by jumping while kicking the ground, there was less resistance than moving in the water, so it was comfortable..”
“Was that so??”
“It did. It was a refreshing experience. It was especially refreshing to soar up to 300 meters in a single jump..”
“Then, what about landing??”
“You saw it earlier, right?.”
The mermaid queen shrugs her mighty shoulders.
“When landing, use your upper body. It was more convenient that way. It was good to put a momentary load on the muscles by placing both hands on the ground. I really liked the feeling of awakening all the muscles in my body at once, starting from my wrists and forearms, to my biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, abs, and core. When I jumped again, I was able to use my fin muscles properly. Was it really a comprehensive upper and lower body routine?.”
“In the end, the conclusion is that the process of getting here was all exercise, right?.”
“of course. I landed on the beach closest to here and made a series of jumps, passing three or four human villages. Fortunately, the humans were all very polite and kind. When I asked where the Frontera territory was, everyone gave me an answer..”
“……Anyone would be polite in front of the queen's physical appearance..”
“hmm? what does that mean?”
“Oh, no. Anyway, thank you very much for coming. ruler. Everyone this way. I will guide you to your accommodation for the time being..”
Lloyd swallowed a bitter smile..
The journey the mermaids went through to get here was clearly depicted..
I vividly understood the shock and fear of the simple village people who encountered them..
‘I'm sure many people were surprised. If I were a resident of that village, I would have looked for Woohwang Cheongsimhwan first..’
Anyway, unexpectedly, we guided the 1,000 mermaid elites who arrived first to the bee apartment..
After completing the allocation of accommodations, I brought Count Frontera and the Mermaid Queen face to face..
Fortunately, the Count did not faint after encountering the Queen..
After that, the waiting reinforcements arrived one after another..
The next hit was the Orc Tribal Confederation..
“Kwiik! Frontera Territory is a clan of the Iron Sand Tribe! The Steel Sand Tribe is a member of the Orc Tribe Alliance! The alliance's blood alliance is a brave alliance! Help, we, friends, help!”
“help, friend, help!”
“Helping, Brother, Kuik!”
“Helping, girlfriend, kkuik!”
“……There's a traitor here, kuik.!”
An army of 30,000 orcs flocked to the territory..
The streets were filled with trembling muscles..
Krash, the warchief of the Orc League, visited the mansion as a representative..
Thanks to this, Arosh, an Orc youth staying in the territory, was pleased..
“Uncle, kkuik!”
“Oh my nephew, kkuik!”
Kwaang-!
The muscular high-five between uncle and nephew made a drumming sound..
Count Frontera's complexion turned slightly pale when he came to greet us..
Still, there was no problem.
The orc warchief was rough but generous, and polite without pretense..
The moment you make eye contact with the mermaid queen.
‘My back muscles are not normal.?’
‘Thick torso. It's not a regular core.’
A fire bloomed brightly in the eyes we looked at each other..
If I get a chance someday, I want to compete properly..
Whether it's arm wrestling or lifting metal bars side by side, I want to compete properly..
We exchanged longing, sparkling, burning eyes..
After that, reinforcements arrived one after another..
300 elf archers came from Everglow Forest..
They are the best snipers, and unlike the previous two groups, they arrived at the territory very quietly and calmly..
This was followed by 500 sprinters from the centaur tribe of the Northern Plains..
One battalion of artillery from the County of Cremo.
Two companies of mountain spearmen from Namaran County.
The Mamluk elite cavalry regiment sent by the eastern sultan.
They arrived in a hurry and crowded the territory..
And finally, 10,000 troops directly under the Magentano royal family knocked on the gates of the domain from the west..
The king directly commands his troops.
It was with Alicia Termina Magentano..
“……uh?”
Lloyd, who went out to greet the royal troops, unconsciously rubbed his eyes..
This was because an unexpected person was seen at the head of the army under his direct command..
‘what. What. Why is the King’s sister here??’
It was absurd.
It was an unexpected appearance.
But was this surprise fully read?.
When I looked up and paid my respects, the King's sister was giving me a blatant, bitter smile..
“It’s been a while, Lloyd Frontera..”
“Little man, Lloyd Frontera, is truly overjoyed to see you, the rightful owner of this land..”
“really?”
“Seong-eun is devastated..”
“Hmm, rather than being shocked, I look quite surprised..”
“No. How dare a small person.”
“Now even the lies that are clearly visible?”
“That's not true either. How dare a small person.”
“Then why did you look at the luggage just now and make a surprised rabbit look?.”
“It's because I dared to be concerned and worry about Your Majesty..”
“worry? worry? You? us?”
“That's right.”
This time, the King's sister gently opened her eyes..
Lloyd moisturized his lips..
I wet it with saliva and played with my tongue..
“As Soin revealed earlier when he sent a request for support, this invasion of the Hell Legion will be no ordinary situation..”
“I guess so. It would be an unprecedented act of aggression. But?”
“So I am worried and worried about you..”
“no way?”
“That theory is correct..”
“Do you dare worry about my luggage??”
“I apologize, Your Majesty..”
“Tsk tsk.”
The King clicked his tongue and looked this way..
I also sent a look of pity as an option..
“Worries and concerns from someone who can't even properly receive the sword. How should I interpret this?.”
“Please regard it as loyalty to Your Majesty, the absolute master of small people..”
“Loyalty? Is that all??”
“yes?”
“Hmm.”
“…….”
gulp.
I made eye contact with the King's sister..
What is that look in your eyes that seems secretly sad and dissatisfied?.
Why does a cold sweat break out when my eyes meet that gaze?.
‘Why on earth do you look like you're going to eat me?.’
Before I know it, goosebumps go down my spine..
As if quickly shaking off a chill.
He said, shaking his shoulders..
“It will truly be an unprecedented, very difficult and dangerous fight. However, in the meantime, if something unpleasant happens to His Highness, what kind of repercussions will fall on the royal family?…….”
“Are you afraid of that responsibility??”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
It was honestly sincere..
In fact, while sending a request for support to the Magentano royal family,.
I wondered if the King's sister would come here in person..
I didn't even have that expectation from the beginning..
‘If something goes wrong with the King, it would be a big problem. That's a bit burdensome.’
Of course, she was the king's sister who was stronger than this one..
But the opponent?
Isn’t the Hell Knight Corps much stronger than that?.
Moreover, considering the King of Hell who will lead them,?
Safety could never be guaranteed..
But the King's sister seemed to think a little differently..
“Lloyd Frontera. This is definitely Jim’s territory..”
“yes. I know, Your Majesty..”
“But you knew that my territory was going to be invaded, so did you think I would just fold my arms and watch??”
“that…….”
“I'm disappointed if you see Jim like that..”
“I truly apologize, Your Majesty..”
“For real this time?”
“Yes, I do..”
Lloyd swallowed his embarrassment and lowered his head..
I thought that if the King’s sister came out like this, I wouldn’t be able to stop her..
‘Now, we can't just ask them to leave behind their troops and go back. King, I have to be careful not to hurt your sister..’
Obviously, the King's sister's presence will be of great strength, but.
On the one hand, we have to be careful not to put her in danger..
It was while I was making a promise to myself..
Was there news that the king's sister came in person with the royal army?.
I saw two people approaching at a hurried pace from over there..
It was the Countess and Countess of Frontera..
“Me, Your Highness. Here, Arcos Frontera, which has been blessed with a land like this, comes to meet its rightful owner, His Majesty the King..”
“Marbella Frontera, wife of Arcos Frontera, comes to see His Majesty the King..”
How quickly did you run?.
The Count and Countess did not even think about tidying up their disheveled hair or clothes, so they raised their thighs for a long time..
The faces of those two people were flushed with surprise and tension..
Well, it could have been that way.
‘Come to think of it, this is the first time for you two to meet the King in person..’
How surprised were they that the king himself came to the territory?.
A happy smile appeared on the King's sister's lips as she looked at the couple..
“I'm really glad to finally meet you too. Lloyd Frontera has always been so eager to brag about you to Jim..”
“……yes?”
“They say that they are truly the greatest lord and wife and parents in this world..”
“ah…….”
“Today, seeing you all in person, I can see that Lloyd Frontera's endless praise was absolutely true. How could this not be a truly happy and welcome meeting?.”
“Seo, Seong-eun is devastated.!”
The count and wife bowed their heads with an expression of emotion..
The King's sister's smile became even happier..
Then I glanced back at this side..
But those eyes are like…….
‘Did I do well? I think you're asking.’
gulp.
Should I nod my head at this?.
But why do I get nervous when I see those eyes?.
So it seemed like the King was hoping for praise..
Or, he seemed pleased that he had made a good impression on his first meeting with the count and wife..
In the end, I gave her a small nod..
Then, the King’s sister seemed even happier..
“…….”
What is it.
Why on earth?.
Why do I feel like I'm going through a meeting tutorial?.
No matter how I look at this, I can never say it's an illusion..
‘Ugh, it's dangerous. Dangerous.’
An ominous (?) premonition arose..
So, my long-time dream is to meet an ordinary woman, have a sweet relationship, get married, have rabbit-like children, eat well, and live well..
I was hoping for just that..
There was no such thing as a bloody romance with the continent's strongest sister in any corner of that long dream..
‘see. I feel it. This is not serious. If this continues…….’
I feel like I'm going to get caught..
I feel like a neighborhood puppy getting captured by a lioness..
But do you know how this side feels?.
Before I knew it, the King's sister was having a pleasant chat with the Count and Countess..
He literally looked happy.
I wondered if he ever smiled so brightly.
Looking at the side of his face, even the pouring early summer sunlight seemed dazzlingly fresh.…….
‘……hey! Wake up, man!’
Lloyd shook his head..
I tried to ignore the feeling I was feeling without realizing it..
Now is not the time to enjoy soft feelings..
Now, the hardships that we really have to overcome are not far away..
I poured cold water into my own heart..
And made final preparations for the final battle..
Implemented evacuation plan for residents of Frontera Territory and Viscounty of Lacona.
Thanks to Solitas' collaborative group teleportation magic,.
Was able to send all villagers to Dragon's Lair.
Then five days passed by..
The morning of the scheduled invasion of the Hell Legion dawned..
I went outside in the rising sunlight..
Under the pretense of taking a walk, I visited the Jewel of Truth in the north of the territory..
There was one purpose.
‘Let's check it out. The preparations we've made so far have been so hard, what results will it bring... … I'm checking.’
Are you prepared enough?.
Will I be able to survive?.
Or is there anything else you need?.
I felt like I had to check it out at least once..
But I couldn't write an ending spoiler..
‘I don't have enough CP.’
In order to prepare for this incident, ending spoilers were used one after another..
I thought I had accumulated a lot of CP so far..
Now even that CP has become insufficient..
‘Instead, there is the jewel of truth. Let's focus first, focus.’
Lloyd jumped into the water..
I folded up my complicated thoughts..
I touched the altar with both hands..
Moved Manahat.
rotated the circle.
Kiiiiing-!
A huge jewel glowed faintly in the darkness 70 meters deep..
Eventually, I tapped into this consciousness through all my senses..
[Those who seek to obtain true answers from the Jewel of Truth. In exchange for the truth, you will have to reveal to the world a secret truth about you that only you know..]
Familiar voices and procedures.
Lloyd took out the answer he had prepared..
‘The secret I will reveal this time is…….’
