Lesson 81: The Traitor

One hour before□ the start of the Wangdu Church and Conference

…………

Luke was worried about the current situation as he put the information he had gathered together into a file.

It is dangerous in every sense to keep Ray in the King's City, which has already been raided twice.

Above all, if there is serious damage to the royal capital, it will be a problem before the victory or defeat of the war.

If that happens, it's clear that Ray thinks that the cause of the tragedy lies with him, and that he will suffer unhealing wounds to his heart.This is an unacceptable development for Luke.

(...... Ray-san is too kind.)

Luke hasn't told anyone who Igoronak is... and who seized Vito.

Even if it's the enemy, Ray will always be sick.

Determines that there is no need to put extra effort into this situation, and stops Babi and keeps the information inside herself.

(For now, let's think about transferring Ray from the capital)

However, there is no way to move Ray safely with the current force.

Even with the remaining rankers, there were still a lot of Imperial forces left, and the [Beast King] might attack at a time when it was known that there was no moonlit night or Xu.

If that happens, it won't be like striking a hand.

(If it's by air....)

I contacted the Wellkin Alliance and was able to travel by air.

The two tops, [Storm King] and [Flying General], were still alive.

The opposing Imperial side's air power is limited, and it's famous for its air warfare. It's also the subowner of the Triangle of Wisdom and the free quasi-Joined before the war.

It can be said to be a good hand because it can gain an advantage at the point of being in the air.

(Concerned about the mythical demons of [Demon General] and the modified monster army of the Franklin.But still, it's much more than going on the ground...... if you move the bowl on the ground at the same time......)

Calmly and ruthlessly, he searched for a stage to let Ray, the lifeline of the Kingdom, escape.

At that rate, the door to Luke's room was knocked on.

…………

Without a word, Luke signs up Babi to prepare for [Union Jack].

Liz, mimicking her coat and left hand, prepared her defenses and hid the Taller in the darkness of the room.

A church that has already been raided.I've never been too vigilant.

Above all, now that Luke himself is in charge, he comes from outside the church and asks Death Period to guide the man who has an errand to this room.

If the Empire launches another assault, we can stop it here.

Severely wounded Ray, the armored Beasley, and Marilyn and Audrey were the ones who sustained the other forces.

Then Luke thinks he should stand on the arrow.

Here you go.

While naturally concealing his inner vigilance, Luke encouraged the visitor to enter.

The man who opened the door was a man he knew.

Wiki-san?

Ah, it's been a long time.

He was the owner of [Ice King] at Wiki.

He is also an opponent against Luke in the final match of the "tournament", and he owes it to the clan to provide information on the hunting grounds suitable for leveling up.

When Luke wondered why he wasn't supposed to be active around the capital, another... came inside.

I'm sorry to bother you...

It's a poor-looking man who looks like a cartoon mafia in combination with narrow-framed glasses and clothes.

Luke knows who the person is.

Parade W. Dead, the owner of the Imperial Branch.

It is one of the few to use a transfer gate, and is a quasi-enemy nation that specializes in monster ambushes.

"Kukuku, finally face to face with the second clan of the kingdom?"So, where's the owner of the ship that was seriously injured?I was wondering if I needed to say hello. "

(--Are they enemies?)

When Luke tries to send a signature of attack to his followers, he sees them as enemies, including the ate that brought the parade here.

"Wait! I'm not the enemy!" This is... (Worst case scenario)... not the enemy! "

At swallowed some of the words and explained desperately with a broken intestine.

…………

Luke read his expression and, after being alert for a while, decided that it wasn't a lie.

"... so, what can I do for you?"

"Oh, oh, I'll talk to you in order."

Asked by Luke, who barely picked up his expression, Atsu began to talk about the parade and why he came here, including his past.

Clashes between two clans in Nissa.

The fact that the MPK became a clash between mythic UBMs.

Eventually, the situation was ended by the intervention of other UBMs and other countries.

In the process, he succeeded in betraying the < Imperial Branch > at the time of the war.

This information was passed on to the most powerful clan in the capital of the kingdom, the Death Period, which holds multiple, and which came to make the parade's power work, he explained.

Luke is satisfied with the opinion.

The more successful you are, the more cowardly you are.It is because it was actually done that I really feel scared.

Above all, this transfer ability was bright outside of attack.

"Nah, I'm tired from the force from Nissa to here."Ah, I'm thirsty, so I'm going to have a drink. Goku Goku "

It should be noted that the parade stood beside At's desperate explanation.

Luke's eyes weren't laughing, and there was a blood vessel floating around his neck.

Later, Luke decided to prioritize the meeting because it was approaching and only told himself about the parade after it was over.

When explaining to my people, I thought it was necessary to blurt out a few points about Nissa's case...

◇◇◇

□[Paladin] Ray Stirling

In addition to Mr. Parade, who entered with a strange tension (as usual), Mr. At of the Royal Branch also listened to the situation.

From the beginning of the war, he had a substantial clan merger and was supposed to help the kingdom.

"Tell me what you know about the Imperial flag," said Mr. Parade, who asked Mr. Atto to provide information about Mr. Figaro's successful attack.

"Their background is as described.The important thing is Mr. Parade's... spatial transfer ability of Bifrost. "

The transfer gate that connects the main unit to the place where the gate was built.

The gate needs to be constructed and can only be accessed once a day, so it's a one-way street, but it's very useful.

"Going to Carcelatan just now..."

"Yes. After building a fixed gate in the capital, the parade will head to Carcelatan."So we unfolded the Bifrost and transferred Ray and us to Carcelatan... ”

That would greatly reduce the danger of moving... instead of zero.

I've heard that Luke was concerned about the transfer of the treasure by Igoronak.

It's called "Bifrost."

“There are two reasons to go to Carcelatan.First, there is a Fuzo moonlight in Carcelatan that can heal wounds.Ray is full, I lost my left hand, Audrey is critically injured, and Marilyn is dying. ”

Luke and the others were also seriously injured in the battle with Igoronak.

Luke was making up for Liz's left hand, but it wasn't enough, and Audrey was shot and crashed.

Marilyn was fatally wounded, putting [Jewel] in stop mode and saving her life.

I needed Fuzo-senpai's [Mercy of the Saints] to heal immediately and completely.

“Secondly, it's the most robust location.Whether you're planning a wide-area annihilation to defeat Ray-san, the defense of the suburbs... and the Moon. "

Not in the city of Carcelatan, but in the cage.

You don't have to worry about getting your city into trouble, so you can prepare for an enemy attack.

The question is, do you want to put the and the fort in the same place?

"Worst case scenario, if you move today, you can send me back to the capital tomorrow."That's why we ask the parade to hurry to construct the static gate and, once constructed, to head for Carcelatan. ”

"Nfufu!" Sure!If the kingdom is to win, it's cheap! "

This person originally belonged to the Imperial Family, but he didn't hesitate to betray them...

"... oh, Lord, is that all right?"

Nemesis also wanted to say a word to Rikishi.

Mochiron!

Of course you did.

"If the Empire wins, it may be treated as a traitor, but if the Kingdom wins, it's a problem!"The real rights and interests of the clan, the glory and the money are my things! "

”... I didn't mean to betray you, but choose your words for the stone”

Mr. At looked tired.

I wonder if Mr. At will support Mr. Parade as a sub-owner in the future...

"Nfufufufu. WikiKu."No matter how much you decorate your words, the essence remains the same!And! No matter how many traitors you call me!Speaking of essence, I'm not betraying (......)! "

"... what is the essence?"

Luke said, "I wonder if it's the enemy after all?"I asked with a vigilant gaze.

In contrast, Mr. Parade stretched out his chest...

― ― I will not betray my own interests!

--I asserted my very guilty words with a face that didn't feel guilty at all.

…………

I've never seen a traitor so bad.

No, I don't see the chance to see a traitor.

... ah, Fuzo-senpai is like this sometimes.

…………

Luke nodded bitterly as he looked at me.

It seems that Mr. Parade is telling the truth.

"That's why we're building after this!"As soon as I borrow your help! "

"... when this guy finishes building the gate, I'll follow Carcellatan."I also need a human from the Kingdom to explain the situation to the other party...We also have some monsters to use to move around. "

Whatever it takes, it's best to rely on Mr. Parade's bifrost for safety and circumstances.

“I wish you a safe arrival in Carcelatan for the future.... but you've made it here safely.No matter which country you find it in, it's going to be a problem. "

In response to the senior's words, Mr. Parade answered with a doya face as he pushed up his glasses.

"Oh, I was careful.I didn't want too many people to know about his betrayal. "

"Fufufu. It's very simple."Wiki-kun originally prepared monsters for high-speed flights.Wiki-kun was in front when I met with the kingdom's rankers on the move.I cover my face and Wiki-kun says, "I'm with the codification team," and I'm not so suspicious. "

Well, it wasn't a lie, so it wasn't even in the [True or False] judgment.

"I was lucky. If I had encountered the < Master > of the Empire, I might have been suspicious on the contrary....."

"Huh? When I encounter the [Master] of the Kingdom, the reverse pattern is... ah"

Mr At is complaining with his eyes.

”It's just that he's doing something, isn't it? ', and

There is also something.

"In the first place, you won't encounter the flying strength of the Empire because it's only a special attack team."By now, it must be time to attack the airbase of the Wellkin Alliance. "

"Huh, the Empire also has flying power... huh?"

What did you just say?

"Parade......"

Mr. At holds his eyebrows and calls Mr. Parade by his name.

Even though my pain was off, I had a hard expression like I was suffering from a headache.

"Huh? Didn't you say that a special attack unit of the Imperial air force was formed to raid the base of the Candidate Werkin Alliance?"

…………

I've only spoken to Mr. Parade in this room, but I can assure you that.

I don't think this person said anything... "
