"Give the soldiers a briefing on the enemy they will be battling, Gordon."I could make out the soldiers' agitated faces. They had been enthusiastic and sure of themselves when they were still in the city.However, once they entered the woods, the eerie silence and foggy white background gave them shivers."The soldiers have some reservations about that, young master. Except for a few, all the soldiers are locals who have never seen an Imp. They are sceptical because monsters do not appear in the Frost Woodlands."This was a mystery that the soldiers were trying to solve at the time.Even I was perplexed.I used my senses to thoroughly scan the woodland. But all I could detect was a swarm of imps.A forest the size of half of the northern region couldn't be devoid of strange monsters.But, because my hands were tied with the development of the city and other things, I didn't have time to investigate this.Even my summons was too busy at this point. In situations like these, I question
[Imp - Level 31][Imp -Level 30][Imp- Level 32]About 100 imps, the strongest of which was at level 36, could be seen. Their minimum level was 30.Taking into account that 40% of my soldiers were around level 30 and the remaining 60% were around level 20,I could therefore send two soldiers per imp to ensure victory.An imp could be defeated by Gordon and the six knights by themselves.I exhaled a sigh.I descended from the carriage. The soldiers gathered quickly in front of me under Gordon's command.The short swords they wear around their waists have been strengthened, and their spears are already arranged.I'd decided to use some kind of boost to force them to fight. I couldn't let any of them die in the end.The residents of Ice Demon City haven't entirely put their faith in me yet.I can't, at least not right now, allow their sons to perish at my hands.I, therefore, called Solan a while back.However, they would only receive minor but useful buffs; the rest is up to them. They
I saw one of the soldiers fall to the ground and drop his weapon. Making that error was terrible.I was aware of the value of possessing a weapon even when I had just arrived in this world."Aah!! Help!" As the young man dragged his body to the ground, he shrieked in terror. The ground was stained red by his leg's blood.I didn't intervene until it was absolutely necessary to do so after waiting a while.I grabbed the stone in my hand, turned on super enhancement, and swiftly flicked it. The stone shot out like a bullet thanks to the flick's powerful force, which also caused a gushing sound of the wind.As it flew toward the imp, the head of the creature exploded, instantly killing it.The imp dropped to the ground unexpectedly, and the soldier was left in a state of shock. Naturally, the young master was the first person that came to mind.The soldier's expression of gratitude was ignored as I commanded him to engage in combat."Or else I won't let you become a soldier again." His sp
Princess Ladia was well aware of the consequences of her course of action. As Duke Dion had predicted, once word of her announcement spread throughout the empire, it was possible that civil war would break out.However, it was necessary.A letter had been left on her desk sometime earlier. The letter's colour was red, and a strong rose scent permeated it. One organization, in particular, came to mind for Ladia—the one that was run by a certain "goddess" who seemed to love roses so much that it had to be a part of everything they did or said.In contrast to their attire, which was pure red and scented like roses, their banner was a rose in gold colour.Even bathing in rose water was allegedly a practice among the organization's adherents.However, Ladia refrained from maligning such a group because it controlled close to a quarter of the empire's population of commoners.Despite the fact that nobles despised the common people, Ladia, who once presided over the empire, realized that the
Duke Ifrit sipped wine in silence inside his chamber from the gold wine glass. His domain was in view as he peered through the window. He was the leader of the Ifrit family and one of the four dukes of the Empire, giving him authority second only to that of the Imperial family. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers would march in unison under his flag at the sound of a single order."Sigh... "I didn't expect the lass to hatch such schemes."'She must have been aware of my animosity toward the Imperial family, but that shouldn't have been the only factor in the lass's choice.'What was the actual cause, then?'The Dukes will not join the war, so it is not possible for the Princess to exhaust the four families and take them all in at once.'"The candidates must demonstrate their abilities, not their family's power,""or is related to the Demons?"The Duke's thoughts stopped dead in their tracks at this point."The signs of demons have disappeared, so that must be it. Does the Princess real
Brightwing Castle"Princess, the representative from the Ifrit palace has arrived.""Duke Ifrit will probably send only one official candidate," Princess Ladia said, giving the advisor a quick glance before nodding. "Well, I'm not sure anyone is brave enough to aim for the throne while keeping their family in the dark.""Duke Ifrit has a reputation for being a rigid upholder of family traditions and he adores his adopted son." The advisor added."If you mention the word "adopted" in front of Duke Ifrit, he'll burn you to ashes and even I won't be able to stop him.The advisor took an awkward glug.Before the envoy entered, there was a brief period of silence in the room.He lowered himself to the ground and raised a scroll for the advisor to accept."Your Highness, Duke Ifrit, applauds your decision." Duke Ifrit's message was calmly relayed by the envoy."I, too, wish the Duke well. Please forward it to me.""Your Highness, I will certainly convey your heartfelt wishes."The advisor
Zikk checked the people he would be travelling with, and when he discovered nothing suspicious, he exhaled with relief.He wasn't afraid of conflict or battles in general, but this particular task was so crucial that he couldn't even let anyone know about his prowess."Are you ready, Zikk, to meet your friends?" The merchant smiled politely.In his years as a merchant, he had encountered many people, and despite Zikk's shoddy attire, the merchant recognized something special about him.No one could conceal the eyes of the strong.According to the task, Zikk was a commoner visiting Ice Demon City to see old friends. Because of this, despite being a commoner, he was willing to pay the transport merchant a sizable sum of money. To avoid the shopkeeper noticing, he even made an attempt to haggle a little on the price.So how on earth could Zikk be any good at haggling?He only succeeded in getting the merchant to lower the cost of travel by one silver.His wife and daughter were the only
"Is she completely recovered?" I took a quick look at the young child.Mason turned to face where I was looking. He laughed when he saw the shy girl stumbling towards them. "I've been looking everywhere for her!" He motioned for her to move more quickly. "You repeatedly asked me to bring you here, totally correct?" He said, grabbing her hand and whispering in her ear. "Go ahead and say it."I grinned as I noticed the girl's anxious expression. "How are things going, Saki?"The young girl gave me a quick glance before quickly averting her eyes and asking, "Young Master, how do you know my name?"I thought before responding, "Naturally, when I was treating you previously, your father gave me your name. Hahaha…"I should keep in mind that not everyone is aware of my godlike system.While Mason cocked his head in perplexity and questioned, "Did I really bring up his daughter's name to the young master?"He was certain he didn't remember doing anything like that. After all, he didn't let h
