Dark Magician as a Hero

Even the shortest distance is 30 minutes from the detached palace in the corner of the vast imperial castle to the barracks where soldiers wait. It takes an hour to walk fast to avoid an area where a soldier like me can't get in. Shit, move the garden with a horse, you son of a bitch.

Oh, shit, why would a great guy want to live in such a big place for nothing? Isn't it inconvenient for a vast and large imperial castle to take time just to travel somewhere? Evidence that you're not thinking about the people who live here, you should destroy them.

I - Pizarro Germ - was summoned to the apartheid and was reluctant to carry my legs. I am bothered by the irrational order you just gave me. Does this long, wasteful corridor mean anything in that sense? In the sense of giving time to somehow swallow the irrational.

"What do you think you should attack a temple in another country... it's impossible because you're so brave..."

I rushed to see if there was anyone around me, complaining. In this imperial castle, the words of the brave are the same as the words of the emperor and may be punished simply by questioning them. The surroundings will gather together to eliminate the defeated army officers who are being watched by the Emperor. I'd rather get rid of it, tell him to be quiet in the country.

The emperor of the Liettenb Empire is famous for being equal if he is good. It is said that you can even enjoy warriors, wise men and famous scholars who have been active on the battlefield, artisans recognized by everyone, and even thieves who can enter any place. And that's true, because even the enemy generals who killed the Imperial Army in pieces will live in this imperial castle.

Appreciated by the Emperor as "his martial arts and military talents are harder than thousands of soldiers", he is seen with unpleasant eyes from the surroundings. If that's all, I don't know when I can throw away the current condition of being taken hostage and used easily.

Just because the Emperor is watching you doesn't mean it's a good deal. I've just been ordered to go almost to death.

I thought I was... the great general of the Blue Tone kingdom, trying to imitate a thief breaking into a temple and grabbing a woman... if it weren't for the words of a brave man, I would have slain him on the spot. No, the bandsword was not allowed, so I would have slain him. But I'm the one who has to take it.

If the princess... betrays his life, he will be killed. Damn it! Damn it, I don't even have a slavery curse! The girl who once deepened her relationship as a fiancé is now like a doll whose expression is completely unchanged.

How can you make an innocent girl look so desperate? And behold, he made the princess stand beside him, and gave him this command.

I want to destroy the expensive stone statues around here and curse him out loud, no, I want to kill him right now. Ten murder plans came to mind in three steps, but there was a simple and hopeless reality that slaves would die if their masters died.

There is no such negotiation to get rid of the enslavement of the princess by fulfilling her mission. He is extremely reluctant to give his things to others.

There was a knight who wished to return the daughter of his master, who had previously been enslaved. The emperor nodded in front of the generals that he was impressed by the man who tried to free the master's daughter, even if he made a great success in the battle and gave up enough money to live his life with ease.

Truly faithful man, be as he is with the minister. All those with hearts honored him... but he died. The princess, who was released from slavery and ran gladly to the knight, was killed by a brave man who suddenly eclamped with him.

"There's no choice but to..."

We must arrive at the barracks and inform our men of the orders received from the brave. The words that came out of my helplessness that I couldn't resist were so exhausting that I didn't think it was my thing.....

As he headed northeast to the lake at great speed, he arrived a lot earlier in the day. The people on the roof of the Golem carriage seem to be feeling ill, but if we rest a little, we'll be able to handle it, because Jack supported us with an iron belt.

"Hey, is a golem carriage that fast? I want it someday."

"It's Chris's stupid magic that makes it so fast. It's usually faster than a horse."

I ran along an unmaintained road, so I checked the axle and so on, but there was no particular problem. Yeah, the carriage craftsmen in the neighborhood are good, and they're reinforced to run at maximum speed.

When my daughters were riding, they ran with vibration in mind, but when all the men were riding, it was fun to get the highest speed without hesitation. Men don't have to worry about each other, so it's easy.

Lake Nagas is one of the sources of water in the city of Caloring overlooking from the hills. Until 50 years ago, this vast lake was home to many vessels trading with the Blue Tone kingdom on the north side.

However, due to the emergence of the Moon Wolf King and the swallowing of the Blue Tone Kingdom by the Liettenb Empire, this Lake Nagas has been a long-standing neighborhood. We had a deal with the Empire, but it was safer by road, so we almost stopped using it.

"If people hadn't lived there for 50 years, the town of Nagas, which once thrived on the trade, would have been abandoned. Still, there are still stone warehouses left, so it seems like it could be used as a base, and it can be rebuilt quickly."

However, most stone buildings contain mucus indicating the territory of the water snake dragon, and the town is probably the hunting ground of the water snake dragon. It is easy to escape from the demon king species if it is underwater, and it is thought that a fairly large herd is formed when the food is abundant.

"The mercenaries seem spicy, so after a little rest, shall we start hunting water snake dragons?

"No, with Chris and Jack, we can beat a few heads together, and they can dismantle the material."

Build a monster trick on the hill, keep the sick people waiting, and get close to the lake with me, Robert, and Jack. The snake dragon has a terrible sense of smell, so even if it's about three kilometers away from the lake, you'll notice that the three humans are approaching the territory.

"Oh, now Chris, give me the flesh of the monster, and I'll lead you from the sky."

As a simple maneuver, as two Robert names for "Running Through the Sky" put it, he is a magical wind user who can run through the sky, spreading meat from the sky and luring them down one by one. Dropping meat without thinking ends up surrounded by water snake dragons, so you can leave that area to experienced Robert.

Even if I'm surrounded, I can handle it, but there is a possibility that it won't be "Robert's Handle". Because it's my ambition, I'm asked to keep it just for support.

Well, I'm going to put the mercenaries to sleep together in a situation where they might die. Having said that, I don't think Robert will be in a situation beyond his control, so do as he tells you to.

Robert ran over the town of Nagas with a large number of wolf carcasses taken out with a magical tool called a "cargo string" that floats bound objects.

Me and Jack have to wait to catch up, we sit on the grass, close our eyes and turn our consciousness inside ourselves, without saying anything in particular. It is a simple meditation, but since the accuracy of magic increases before the battle, it is not necessary to be said as a wizard.

As you continue your meditation for a while, you feel Robert's signs and open your eyes. You must have scattered them all because you don't have a lot of wolves, trying to open up the storage space and retrieve the next fishing bait....

"We're retreating with our men! Hurry up, it's an anomaly!

Hearing the impatient voice, he immediately ran to a monstrous position. Running and asking about the situation, it turns out that an unimaginable herd of water snake dragons is heading southwest, that is, towards the city of Caloring.

"It's extremely rare for a herd to attack a town or village where a lot of people live because they're starving or being chased by territory... From the sky, a thousand people are there, and there may be more in the lake!

The Snake Dragon is a Lesser Dragon. Even in the wild, it is intelligent and expensive, but if you starve only in the wild, you attack people. But it is as mysterious as anything that more than a thousand herds go straight to the city, and in this case, should we assume that someone did?

The technique of training and following monsters is a kind of dark magic, but manipulating this number is only costly and doesn't make much sense because you can't give detailed instructions. So you're led by a leader? It would be similar if it were different.

"Robert, Jack, maybe this is a man-made thing. I'll stop the swarm of water snake dragons, so you guys find somebody suspicious."

"Roger that, if you have enemies, they're probably in town buildings or on a boat, I'll take the lake, Jack. You take the whole town. I'll bring my men with me."

"If we have enemies, we'll catch them alive, Robert. It's easier to exploit the information."

The two experienced men read my intentions without confusion in an anomalous situation, Robert ran through the sky, Jack manipulated the iron belt like a spider's foot, and headed toward town at incredible speed.

Now, the water snake dragon will surmount the castle wall and so on, so we can't let him go to the city of Caloring.

In the meantime, let me ask you to come to me. When I activated the monster trick just like when I lured the demon seed Kurt, a herd of over a thousand water snake dragons turned towards me all at once, like an avalanche.

Only the leading water snake dragon was being manipulated, and I expected the rest to follow it, but when I got close enough to see it, I found out that all of the herd was controlled by someone, and more importantly, it was in a state of slavery.

Certainly, if you are in a state of slavery rather than brainwashing, you may be able to move on your own if you give some instruction, but the slavery of monsters is so difficult that it is not comparable to humans, and the consumption of magic when performing magic is also different digits.

The coercion seems to be weak around monsters, but I still can't read the intention of dominating this number. What kind of magic is that? Or is it an organized magic supply, not an individual?

Well, let's untie the enslavement and let it go back to the wild and scare them a little, and they'll go back to the lake. No, you want me to catch you for a little while? You can give it to Salima to celebrate their prosperity, but the coast guards will not be disturbed by the presence of a water snake dragon. If the sea were close, we wouldn't have any trouble feeding.

It is basically a type of driftstone dragon that lives in fresh water, but can normally operate in the sea.

By the way, it's kind of impossible to keep a water snake dragon in my Astoria house, because Deane hates snakes and stuff. Because the smell of the mucus of the water snake dragon is strong and I probably hate the sharp smell of Louffei and Titania.

Not that I don't yearn for the Knight of the Water Dragon, but I'm not going to keep anything my wife might hate.

Confirm that most of the herd is within the range of magic, and de-slave first.

Are the eyes still dark?

A coffee shop just near the Grand Shrine that smokes purple smoke from a regular killer for a few hours, causing pain in the shopkeeper's eyes. On the face of it, I love it, but my eyes say, "Pay if you're sitting." I'm sorry, I don't have a free budget, you brave son of a bitch.

"Ha, no shadows, no shapes, no shadows, even though we're already behind schedule."

It was easy to break into this city with many adventurers. It was the Grand Shrine, which I thought would take months to prepare, but it seems that the ceremony will be accompanied by events, and the security is loose. I can assure you that this is a familiar general in siege warfare.

I can't be too prolonged because it's an order from a brave fool before that, because he's short of breath. Even though I knew it was a threat, I had to hurry because if I failed, it would hurt the princess, so I appreciate the sweetness of the Grand Temple's defense.

Well, he's not usually around to attack the temple, so he can't help but be alarmed. As far as I can tell, it is necessary to prepare for monsters, bandits, etc., but I am not prepared for the Army at all.

Important locations are under strict surveillance and magical defense. But it is good evidence that we were able to easily lurk the believers' misguided subordinates. Now that a swarm of water snakes and dragons is gathered around the city, the eyes of the people are almost there, and it's easy to carry out a damn mission.

If that eye (swarm of water snake dragons) comes, but it's not my men who have been given the authority by the damn brave to manipulate the water snake dragons, it's his hijab that the damn brave put under surveillance. I'm stabbing a nail just to attract attention, but I don't know how far to follow. If I succeed, I may be able to put a water snake dragon on people in the city.

"When the sun goes down, the schedule will be crushed, and worst of all, we'll have to move alone."

The basic shrine is off-limits to the general believers when the sun goes down, and the clinic is probably empty, but since there are many rough adventurers visiting, they are naturally guarded. If a fool honestly breaks in and robs, his men and the guards will be harmed.

The ideal is to catch the eyes of the Divine Warriors with a diversion and grab the female Divine and escape as the damn brave wants. I don't want to lose my men as much as I can, and I don't want to reduce the power of the Empire and this stinking kingdom.

The security hole was spotted immediately and the escape route was secured the day it was breached. It would have been easier if I had been able to cross over to the Imperial Agent, but I can't because the damn brave won't tell me where he is. It would be safer for us to move ourselves than to look for it from here.

At least an agent who knows me is sitting in a prominent coffee shop hoping to come into contact with me, but it looks like it's going to end up empty.

"As the day passes, the aristocrats will come along with the ceremony, and of course the security will be strengthened, so it has to be today as planned... what are they doing?"

Today, there is another reason why we have to decide on a plan before the sun goes down. Brave man, if we gather a little information in this city, we can see that a brave man, protected by the Goddess of Law, lives right near this temple. The hero is out there fighting monsters today, or rather than failing the operation, he's more likely to be hunted down as a mere snatcher.

As far as the residents of the city are concerned, come to the city with your lover and take care of her very much. Even a daughter married to a brave man seeking to marry him is equally affectionate. We have defeated the Demon King species, but we cannot fail to pay tribute to him for purifying the contaminated land.

Both I and my men thought, "Exchange it for my fucking brave man." Even if you think about it, you will be allowed to sigh at once.

Then the men came to report instead, but there was no sign of a water snake dragon coming. We have about an hour before sunset, and we don't have time to wait any longer.

"... here we go."

"If you give me a signal, we'll all be here any minute."

I leave the store with all the money in the meaning of apology for the trouble caused by the strong side coming. After all, a general who once led an army in a country fell. I might be so lucky to be forced on a mission that isn't so busy.

Sighing and heading to the Great Temple... is it because of luck, or is it because of the bad luck of a fucking brave man? Instruct the men walking next door not to be distracted.

"Keep an eye on the girl in the knighthood who is heading for the temple, she is Archina of the Princess of the Kingdom of Marne."
