Golden Experience

Episode 84: The Rubble of Lacoline

"I'm sorry. Well done. You made it. Have a seat first."

In the Lords' Hall, he was passed through the reception room to give his name. That's right, I took off my helmet, but the armor stayed put and I was advised to couch. I don't even keep my sword. Very unusual.

"You guys, back off. I'll call you at the bell if you need anything. Until then, don't let anyone near you in the reception room."

The lord made the knight of his own escort wait outside the door and pay for it. This is also unusual. Although a commander of one army, I have never heard of you talking one-on-one with a soldier who is not even a nobleman.

"You've also seen the commander. Bugs floating in the east sky. Do you think that's disastrous? No, don't hesitate. I've heard more about catastrophes than the King's capital."

The commander was relieved. It is difficult to talk about dealing with that demon without touching on the disaster. Depending on the Prime Minister's reply, we may have to put aside this place and prioritize the disaster crusade. I don't know if you can understand that, but it is significant that the prerequisite information is shared in the discussion.

"If that was not a disaster, the commanders must prioritize the crusade of disaster over this city. Didn't I?"

"... out of my mouth is still nothing. I am currently reporting to His Excellency the Prime Minister on the situation of Lacorine and awaiting instructions."

"Right...... No, thank you. From the command's point of view, you'll want to make your way through here to Airfaren as soon as possible."

"No, this is the situation. As much as possible..."

"Sorry......"

It's quiet now, but once when the commander visited the city, he felt it was a vibrant, bustling good city.

It is true that there were distances from the realm of demons, and it can be said that in the location of the city where the streets meet, there were commercially susceptible conditions. But that's a different story from the residents being bright. No matter how good the land was, if the rulers were greedy or tyrannical, the inhabitants would never smile as much.

I felt it when I was sent to this Lordship Hall. It was the first time that a commander had met a lord directly, but for a hall where a lord of a region lived, there were too few knights of escort for its size. I guess the servants are supposed to have more knights of escorts to see where they are quite a bit. So where did the knights go?

Probably patrolling the streets, relieving residents of anxiety, or wanting to see the demons.

The commander was summoned to the Lords' Palace as soon as he gave the instructions, but maybe by now he's cooperating with his men.

If you are such a lord, I want to cooperate as much as I can with authority.

Chancellor O'Cornell is by no means a ruthless man, but what he sees is the interests and safety of the entire kingdom. If I have to, I may make a decision to abandon this land to protect my country.

A commander, not a soldier, but a general who protects his country. If His Excellency the Chancellor has been decided for the sake of the nation, there is no denying that he will obey that order. At that time, resolutely, you will abandon this city and head to your mission.

And the lord knows that.

"Hopefully, I'll stay tired on the long journey. I'd love to see you guys around, but this is the situation. Forgive me Lacorine for not even making it happen."

"No, please raise your face. Just so you can say..."

There, the hard sound of knocking on the door sounded. This sound, as if you knocked with a door knocker, is probably knocked with a hand armored by a guard knight outside.

There's enough knights being told not to let anyone through to knock on purpose.

For a moment, he exchanges his gaze with the lord.

"What's up? Is something wrong?"

"Ha! I see the decree better than the Expeditionary Force. I need to speak to the Commander urgently."

At that moment, blunt sounds, like lightning fell in the distance, echoed with vibrations.

It rings intermittently, and it buzzes the anxiety of the inexperienced.

"What is this! What happened!

"Excuse me! Commander! The bees are on the move!

Consider it no longer without respite, or open the door and the decree will scream.

So this sound and vibration is caused by those bees?

What the hell am I supposed to do, make this sound?

"My lord, I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm going to the city!

"I'm sorry, please! The escort knights in the city are instructed to work with your officers! Use it as you please!

"Thank you! Bye!"

When I get out of the hall, the sound sounds so loud. I see smoke rising in the eastern sky. I want to rush over there, but the fleeing residents won't allow it.

As he managed to spark a wave of people and ran through the city, something other than residents began to mix with people fleeing.

They are crusaders. Those boys and soldiers. As supporters, they were positioned on the east side of the city.

They were drastically exorbitant, such as putting down residents to protect and fleeing, but they were not formally trained. Until recently, they were in the position of the escapees.

"Hey! What happened!

Catch a nearby boy soldier and stop by.

"A, it's Ali! Ants flying rocks..."

"He said it was an ant!? The bee that was outside the city, that's what you were holding!

"It's the ant that was holding that bee! The black rock that the ant flew... burst... and the city... the fire..."

Sure enough, the bees had ants.

On the way home from attacking some ant's nest, that ant thought lightly that it was an achievement or something like that. I didn't think deeply about the relationship between ants and bees, etc.

Did you say it was different? That's not a flock of bees with ants.

Are you saying it was a herd of ants to be transported to the bees? To attack from above.

Demons like you've never heard of, like ants flying bursting rocks.

A bee that's supposed to be another species.

That, too, in such a large group.

"Stupid......"

Such a thing would be unlikely if it wasn't even led by someone who would rule both ants and bees.

Such a presence.

"Disaster... you mean... This is it."

The sounds of earthquakes continue today. No, the commander says he's already stopped, but he's getting closer.

I guess that means the sound of the rock bursting. Despite hearing that, I can't imagine what that means at all.

At some point, the boy soldier I was catching is running away.

No, there's nothing they can do in this situation. If you can get away with it, maybe that's a good idea.

Anyway, we have to rendezvous with the main unit that would be deploying outside the city now.

I don't know what I can do if it does, but I can't do anything if it doesn't.

The commander took the conductor and hurried east.

"Commander! There's a mansion over here! Above this, let's also see some of the city!

A decree called out to a commander who couldn't get along and was in a hurry.

Indeed, before joining the main unit, perhaps we should try to calm down once and for all and get an accurate picture of the situation.

The decree showed that it was more like a fire tower than a mansion, but considerably higher than the buildings around it. If this is the case, we can also look out over the city.

The commander who climbed the bridge first intended to check the position of the main unit. After that, decide how best to handle the situation and head to the main unit.

But that's no longer necessary.

Outside the city, on the east side of the earth, was plowed.

A vast area of land full of insanity had turned into something of a field before sowing. I can't see the main unit anywhere.

No, that's not outside the city. Part of the city. Approximately a quarter of the city is cultivated from outside the city followed by the eastern side.

And that's still being spread out. Bees with ants lined up in a horizontal straight line. From the tip of Ali's belly, something blackish is fired simultaneously. It's pretty fast in the long run. That's what makes the city, contact with the house. No, it bursts with the roar, scattering flames and fragments.

Nothing after the bee line passes. So much for what drives you that far, you're letting the rocks descend without gaps.

In that, the survival of the inhabitants is hopeless, but the Crusaders are not. Even a trained soldier can withstand a side attack that destroys a house with a single blow.

There are still soldiers pushing the rubble away and rising from the plowed city.

But as soon as I got up, I bled out of my head and fell down. I don't know what happened from here, but I just know that I won't be alive anymore.

That bursting rock, the first blow, doesn't seem so lethal to a first-class soldier. Being able to get up right after an attack means that it didn't take a lot of damage.

But I wonder what that is. On his rise, he is stabbed to a halt with a mysterious attack.

No, before that, even where the soldiers survived, they couldn't even fight without the means to destroy the bees far above them.

At that height, you probably won't get normal magic or anything like that. The same goes for bows. But the attack on the other side doesn't mean it won't arrive once it's even ejected. Even if the energy given at the first speed runs out, if left alone, it falls on its own.

This is why we can't destroy the angels.

Sky Castle will not receive any attack.

The angels are only coming in melee, but hopelessly if they see this sight and incorporate a method of warfare that drops rocks and such from the sky next.

The commander already knew. The Crusaders have virtually no more than reserves already available to flee the entire city.

And perhaps it will disappear with this city of Lacorine in a future not far from its survival either.

A commander might be able to survive. It's unclear what that mysterious attack is, but if you keep your head or something guarded, instant death is likely to be spared. Maybe a soldier with the rank of commander or superior strength is still alive.

The same would apply to lords. He's the lord who runs the knight so vigorously. Must be getting stronger myself.

And the Lord's survival means that the Immortal Guardian will also survive again.

But what is it? No matter how strong you say it is, it is impossible to protect residents from this attack.

This city perishes.

Disaster crusade is also a failure.

On the brink of calamity, even the demons, who would be its spires, had no hands or feet.

What will happen to the kingdom that has lost Lacoline, which is also a transportation requirement, and a commercial one?

The main force of the Royal Army, which drove to the reserve, and even the future youths, was also to be lost.

We can no longer confront disaster in an organized manner.

"Such future stories etc...... If this momentum allows the flock of bees to fly to the King's Capital... Even if the nobles can survive, the King's people are no longer..."
