Episode 159 Sadness of the Holy King

Grouse G. Sawsman also heard that the investigator of "Disarmament", known as the most powerful army in the Imperial Palace, had lost sight of the news in [Onimurajima].

"Stupid!? That Velvet was killed!?

A subordinate who will never return. Despite what his subordinates thought, he went to see the leader of the same "Five Ministers", Scarlet Cheng (Strain) and Emperor (Suerai), in order to get permission to go to [Onimishima] himself.

Grouse decided that if he had been with Grouse for the longest time and was familiar with his likes, dislikes and personalities, he would have given permission immediately.

But the words from him were surprisingly denied.

"Why, Scarecrow!

"If the Emperor tells you to stay close, I can't do that."

"But! No matter how little news we have, it's possible that the Velveteens are still alive somewhere on the island!

"... I investigated the island from afar."

……

"The ship was gone, and the island was quiet without any traces of battle. But that's why it's creepy."

…………

"According to information received from Nowem, the demon king of [Saffir Country], they are collecting human souls. And if Velveteens look at the island against the Ghost and still have no contact... perhaps, no, they're all certainly being killed with their souls taken away."

"Kh...!

Glows distorts his face from the scarlet with grief. And Glows tells us all the information that he receives from Norway. Glows listened silently.

"I know exactly how you want to go right away. They're your direct reports."

Grouse is shaking his fist and biting his teeth with remorse.

"The opponent seems to have more power than us. If that Velvet was killed quietly..."

Then shouldn't we raise all our forces and destroy the Demon? I wonder if this will bring back not only the thousand-handed children, but all the "Kuki Masses"?

"... of course you need to hit me. Now I'm gathering [Spiritual Instruments] scattered across all continents."

I see. One of the ten great successors who once sealed the "Ghost".... "

I see. I nodded back convincingly and opened my mouth even more.

"But can other [Spiritual Devices] be expected militarily, regardless of" Princess Takaru "or the like? In particular, I've met three or two people who were recently summoned, but I didn't have enough to fight the Ghost.

"But there is no doubt that you have the power of ten masters. We'll need them to explain the situation and help us."

"... what are we going to do?

"The focus is on gathering information to understand the situation in detail. We can't afford to lose our defenses here, and you and I will always be here. That's absolute."

"... okay."

Scarlet speaks with a bitter smile in her words of understanding.

"I'm sorry. But this should be the best."

"... I'll train my men."

With that, Grouse headed to the training yard where he was always training his soldiers.

"Hah ~, my stomach's always going to hurt..."

Looking lazily, he looked up at heaven.

"Do you really need to hurry up the resurrection of the former ten masters....."

While sighing at the fact that there was a pile of things to be done from now on, Scarlett's eyes emitted a strong light on the back of her mouth. He may also be angry with the Ghost who killed the Velveteens.

The Golden Bandits also felt in danger in the reality that the Demons were destroying the Golden Bandits group one after the other. Until then, I had raised my slogan to defeat the emperor and create a new world, but I began to hide secretly like a driven beast.

I usually raided cities and carriages, robbed them of food, money, etc., and put it into my life, but I couldn't move because I was afraid of being killed.

They were unaware of the existence of the "Ghost", which seemed to leave no doubt that the country was moving at the behest of the Emperor.

I don't know which country is moving and I can't act badly. However, the mistake seemed to lead to peace for the common people, and the king of the [Holy Nation of Lavach], who stood above them, was also delighted.

[Southern and Dadaneo continents]. It is a continent divided into two regions. One of them, the Oz Wine Region, is the birthplace of the Automatic Doll (Automata), the Holy Nation of Lavach.

Saint Reddock La Richland Lavach was certainly pleased that the Golden Bandit would perish as a binder of the country, but he was nevertheless anxious.

This is information about the Chaos Clan that the Emperor sent to various countries. It has been told that the family is not destroying the Golden Bandit for charity.

They say they're just attacking Golden Bandits because they can collect a lot of souls at once. It remains doubtful why countries with large numbers of people will not be attacked, but it is not surprising when the target will go to each country.

That's why there was always anxiety in Leeddock's chest. The [Holy Nation of Lavach] is a large country with a large number of people.

It is also one of the most suitable places for gathering souls.

"So, Saint King, should we look forward to participating in the Automatic Doll (Automata) Quality Review in [Schnitch Kingdom]?

There is a man standing in front of the leader sitting on the throne. He is one of the kings and nobles of this country and is named Blush D. Dress Auger. He is one of the best stylists in the country.

"That's right. I was looking forward to the tournament, but in this situation, we should hold the tournament and refrain from approaching it."

"That's a shame. The Automata, dedicated to the Emperor, is always decided there, but as long as the Demon exists, it may be dangerous to walk out badly, as the Holy King says."

"We also need to improve our security and prepare ourselves for the raid. Is it ready?

"Yes, we have a good doll master who can handle Weapon Types. There are enough of them. If that's the case, you'll think it's a bad idea to attack the demon."

"I hope so...."

"Anything bothering you?

"... yes. In fact, the Emperor is now summoning the [Spiritual Instrument]."

I see, it's a countermeasure against ghosts.

"Perhaps, but will he move?

"Mm... well, that's..."

Blush has an unspeakable, sinister face. Looking at such a face, Leeddock also released a small sigh, distorting the face of the man with an unbelievably clear and beautiful complexion with spiciness.

"For the past three years, I've been locked up in my room ever since I was summoned, what did I say... a little life?

"It's a net life. It's people who spend their days in their homes without even working."

"Oh, don't you think you're enjoying your nette life?"

"Fumuu... but I'm sure she's a [spirit vessel]. I'm also sure her knowledge has improved the quality of the doll, and the dilemma is that it can't be lowered..."

"Just talk to her for once. The Emperor's summons is upon us."

"I see. I have a daughter of the same age, so let's move her."

Please, Sir Dress Auger.

Brush slightly lowered his head to Leeddock and left. On the way is the house where his daughter lives.
