Chapter 7. Another Conspiracy

After a long flight, I arrived at Earl Lindell.

Looking down from above, you can see beautiful views of Lindell Castle at a glance.

The fortified walls surrounded by two layers do not seem to collapse easily, even if a few times as many troops attack. The waters of the Baden River pass by Lindell Castle, and there are numerous merchant boats anchored at the docks along the river. Given that many merchant ships pay tolls, it was easy to guess how much money the Jehovah Sea is making thanks to the Baden River.

In the heart of Lyndel Castle is the opulent mansion of Earl Lyndel. It was a palatial mansion.

“Norm.”

- Yeah, Dad.

“If there's an earthquake here, everyone will be stunned. Right?"

- Yeah, you'd be surprised.

The gnome sitting on my head replied.

“If that thick wall collapses because of the earthquake, everyone will be terrified, right? ”

You're gonna be so scared!

“Still, fortunately, no casualties, no casualties, no casualties, right? ”

- Yeah, thank God.

“Phew, my little gnome. ”

- Heh heh, I'm cute.

Norm liked it with a smile on his face.

“So, shall we begin? ”

It's the apocalypse!

I instructed gnome.

As the gnome exerts its power, spiritual affinity begins to dissipate immensely. It caused an earthquake in this area, so there was no shortage of Spirit Affinity consumption.

Two, two, two!

The earthquake started to shake the entire castle of Lindell. I rocked the ground and focused its power on the walls of Lindell Castle.

“Aah!”

“Earthquake! Move! ”

“The walls are coming down! ”

The soldiers on the wall panicked and began to evacuate. I was able to control the earthquake properly and knock down the walls where all the soldiers had evacuated. The rough ground underlying all the buildings began to shake, and the strong walls began to shake. Soon.

Kuang! Kuang!

A crack breaks in the wall and the wars collapse. Once it begins to crumble, it loses its durability and becomes irresistible. Unfortunately, the soldiers were all evacuated and collapsed in turn. Well, that's how I control it, of course.

“What a powerful earthquake?! ”

“This has never happened before! ”

The right-wing soldiers.

Looking at the frenzied ground, I suddenly had a good idea.

“Wounded.”

-Yeah.

Woundee, who was in my bodily fluids, only put out the face of Sao Ok.

“Wouldn't it be nice if there was an earthquake and a flood? ”

-Yeah.

“Flood the rivers to turn docks and shipyards into shrubs. ”

-Yeah.

Woundee, who received my order, flew like a swoop into the Baden River. After a while, the spiritual affinity consumes faster.

Kuaaaa!

The river in Baden shook the wharf. The wharf is destroyed and the ships are drifting away.

The river continued to attack the shipyard with a terrifying force. It was a huge shipyard owned by Earl Lindell. The shipyard was under construction by several large cargo ships. That's too bad, Earl Lindell. That's a lot of property damage.

Kwajijijik!

The river completely destroyed the shipyard. The entire shipyard building, as well as the cargo ship under construction, settled violently.

The rivers are flooding and the ground is shaking!

The earthquake and flood struck Lindell Castle as if God were angry. As the egg shells peel off, the walls of Lyndel Castle settle completely. The shipyards and shipyards have been destroyed, leaving only the ruined remains.

Gosh, it's hard.

I stopped because I thought that was enough. Spiritual Affinity is consuming and my head is pounding.

“That's enough. Let's go.”

- You don't need a light?

This time, a salamander who was immersed in my body temperature suddenly shows his face and asks.

“What kind of fire is that? ”

- Earthquake. I'm so disappointed when there's a flood.

“I'm not disappointed at all. ”

- I want to! The burning castle!

The salamander wanted to be a part of this mess. However, I shook my head because fire could result in life damage.

“No. ”

- Chet!

The salamander looks very frustrated and tucks his face back in.

After I finished my business, I left Lindell Castle. There couldn't have been anyone who saw me because I was flying high in the sky.

When the mansion was shaken, Earl Lindell was under the protection of the Guardians in contemplation. When the earthquake stopped, Earl Lindell barely calmed his nerves with fear.

Earl Lindel instructs Baron Sam Lindell.

“Get out there and see what's going on! ”

“…… Yes? ”

Earl Lindell is angry with the curious Sam.

“Find out what's causing the damage, you idiot! ”

“Hiic, yes! ”

Sam runs out of the office with his tail out.

Earl Lindel looks out of the window, anxious to see if the fear of the earthquake still hasn't completely faded. The colonists and even the soldiers of Earl Lindell are left and right, befuddled by chaos.

Fortunately, the settlements of the settlements seemed to be undamaged. The rugged commoners' houses are intact, so the mansion and the main building will be undamaged.

"Huh?

However, Earl Lindell felt something empty in the landscape outside the window.

I felt like I was missing something very important.

“Oops!”

Later, Earl Lindell realized what was missing from the landscape.

Walls!

The wall of Lindell Castle, which is immediately surrounded by two layers, collapses. Earl Lindell is so unrealistic that he finds it hard to accept the situation.

Even the lowly townhouses of the common folk are safe and sound, but the walls are falling? The fortified wall that you built in two layers to protect your exterior? A wall designed to stop Ogre infestations!

“What is this? Wait, there's no dock? To the shipyard?!"

Only then did the invisible in the landscape begin to notice one by one.

It wasn't until after midnight that Baron Sam Lindell returned to the east and west to understand the situation.

“Your Excellency, we have a situation. ”

“Tell me.”

Earl Lindel nods briefly, shocked and shrugged.

“For now, the walls have all been destroyed. Fortunately, all the soldiers evacuated safely and no one was killed or injured. ”

“No casualties at all? ”

“Yes.”

“Not a single one? All those walls came down. ”

The question continued, and Sam replied with a cold sweat.

“Soldiers who worked at the Wall today were all safe. ”

“…… Keep talking. ”

“Yes, the aftermath of the earthquake must have flooded the Baden River. Shipyards and docks were destroyed, and the freighters that were docked were swept away. Fortunately, there were no casualties, and the cargo ships that had drifted were not destroyed or overturned. ”

The words made Earl Lindell even more twisted.

“No casualties? ”

“Yes.”

“The rivers flooded the shipyards and wharf to the point of destruction, and all the boats were safe and sound?" ”

“Yes…. I looked into it in detail because it was strange, but it was not a lie. ”

“…… the damage of the colonists? ”

“…… Everything was fine. ”

“Let me get this straight. There were powerful earthquakes and floods that destroyed all the walls, and the shipyards and wharfs became shredded. Other than that, there were no casualties. Despite the devastating upheaval that caused the walls to fall, the settlers' houses were intact. ”

“No, that's right. ”

“You gotta be fucking kidding me! ”

“No, I'm not kidding! ”

Sam thought about it and said as if it was unfair. It's unfair. I can't believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes.

Earl Lindell is confused.

This was not a natural disaster. How can a natural disaster only do harm to Earl Lindell without causing any casualties? Did Earl Lindell hate God at all?

"It's like someone's playing a prank! ’

When the thought got there, Earl Lindell opened his eyes to see if something had come to mind.

“Oh, really? ”
