Incompatible Interspecies Wives chapter 123

123 – Counseling (2)

King Rex Draigo stopped near the Jackson estate.

The two families that were supposed to join came together.

The Pantra family made up of Lizardmen.

The Dom family is made up of dwarves.

As per Draigo’s orders, he appeared to put an end to the incident in the Jackson family.

Rex Draigo, riding a black horse, looked at the approaching Lizardman, the head of the Pantra family, Mir Pantra.

Mir Pantra gets down on one knee and says.

“The Pantra family has gathered under the command of His Majesty the King.”

Draigo shook his hand roughly, omitting his manners.

Right now, there was a more pressing problem.

“From the description. Simply.”

Rex Draigo gives orders to the head of the Pantra family in an intimidating atmosphere.

I was told that I needed urgent help from Gail, so I was in a situation where there was too little information.

I only knew that a fatal problem had happened to the party of warriors.

The patriarch of the Pantra family, who received the order, spoke.

“From what I’ve heard, the fight for succession in the Jackson family has turned into a civil war.”

“…Even with a group of warriors?”

“…Yes. I heard that the 3rd-ranked heir took the opportunity to surprise everyone after the party of warriors killed all the bosses. Of course, other Jackson sons have been causing trouble since before that.”

Rex Draigo burst into laughter at the absurd fact.

“…Of course, the warriors were included in all of them, right?”

“Yes.”

Rex gritted his teeth.

“These crazy bastards…”

The combative atmosphere he was exuding made everyone around him tense up.

It was a fact that everyone knew that the anger of the Yongin was stronger than any other species.

And of all the dragon races, everyone knew that the Draigo family had the thickest rage in their blood.

Although normally benevolent Lex Draigo… Everyone knew how cruel he could be if he set his mind to it.

Rex Draigo’s knights were fixating on Draigo’s condition.

It was a day when an endless execution ceremony might take place.

“…?”

Then, one by one, I turned my head at the sound of the ground shaking.

Rex also notices the change and turns his head.

From noble mtl dot com

I could see the cavalrymen running from afar shaking the ground.

With a steady posture, keep in line and run at incredible speed.

They were well-trained soldiers.

“…Can you see the flag?”

Rex looked at the group and asked his aide, Gendry, who was by his side.

Gendry frowned and looked in his direction.

Without being ordered, several of Rex’s soldiers went out to face the troopers.

After looking around for a while, Gendry raised his eyebrows and said.

“It’s the Red Flame Team.”

“…Well.”

An interest welled up in Rex’s eyes as well.

He received Gale’s letter a few days ago and received brief information.

I heard that Gail was on her way to rescue the Red Flame Team’s vice-captain and the warriors.

A candidate for a new fighter for solitude… And the man the saintess loves.

Assuming all went well, the two had no choice but to meet.

“…This… Looks like the information I received from Gale was the truth.”

Muttered Rex Draigo to another companion.

“…It seems that Berg, a human mercenary, really went to rescue the saintess. If you see the crimson troupe running like that.”

“…………”

The archbishop of the Hea Church was silent.

He was just staring down at the floor with a cold, hard expression on his face.

The Archbishop opened his mouth and looked at Lex Draigo to say something, but…

“…”

Is it because of the betrayal of the Jackson family?

My mood seemed sharper than ever.

The Archbishop didn’t say anything to him, and bowed his head again.

“…”

Rex looked at him and lost his nerve.

His problems were his own.

Rex didn’t want to bother.

I looked at the red yeomdan that came running instead.

Rex also had an interest in the prominence group.

From a certain moment on, he came up, and now he was radiating his name with great power.

For the past few months, Rex has had scabs in his ears, from the prominences to the names Adam and Berg.

Especially in the case of Adam, I just wanted to have a wise leader… But it turned out that he was a candidate for a fighter for solitude with a close relationship with Gale.

The existence of Berg was also a candidate for a fighter for solitude who had a deep relationship with the saintess.

Would you have thought that two unique beings like this would appear among a mere mercenary?

I was thinking that maybe they might be the last piece needed to end the war with the demons.

The Red Flame Team stopped at an appropriate distance.

A few troopers also ran out from the Red Flames and talked with Rex’s soldiers.

Shortly, a man appears with a horse from inside the Red Flame Team.

He started following Rex’s soldiers to join the main force.

The close human man got off his horse soon.

Sturdy weight. Decent appearance.

And the overwhelming atmosphere.

“…”

Seeing him like that made Rex even more interested.

Without having to introduce himself, it was immediately clear that the human was Adam.

Adam steps out in front of Rex Draigo with a confident gait.

Hold your head lightly and say hello.

“This is Adam, the leader of the Crimson Troupe.”

“…”

Rex smiled as he looked at the commoner, who was bolder than the average aristocrat.

Because he was such an existence, he might have had no choice but to bounce like this.

As expected, the Humans were a unique race.

Like the sons of the Jackson family, worm-like beings pop up all too often….At the same time, it was also the human race that such interesting and mysterious beings appeared.

But it was a story that there were two such beings in the Red Flame Team.

“What brought you here?”

Rex asked, looking at Adam.

Adam answered without hesitation.

“I heard that my brother came here to rescue a group of warriors. As much as I received a request from His Majesty the King in the first place, I ran to join you belatedly.”

“Okay then you can join us too. I heard that the Jackson family estate is still in turmoil. We have to go in and execute some worms.”

Adam said without hesitation.

“I will help.”

“I like you.”

Rex said.

****

Adam heard about the choice Berg had made through a letter from Gale.

It is said that he went to help his childhood friend, the saint, with the chief Joe.

It was Berg who left to face his own fatal weakness.

When I think about how much the story has been kept secret for so long, and how much women have been pushed away over the past seven years, I can roughly guess what that saintess meant to Berg.

That’s why I’m more worried.

The status of the berg.

… Of course, after receiving the king’s request, he asked Berg how about helping the warriors.

However, asking a question and making a choice are different.

Even if he decided to help the hero’s party, Adam and Berg tried to find the hero’s party.

I was thinking of keeping an eye on his condition.

But Berg was alone now, so he couldn’t help but worry even more.

Sometimes I act emotionally, no more so.

– Took.

Adam put on his helmet before entering the Jackson estate.

We decide to calm down the succession battle and find Berg.

From what they said, Berg was not in a very dangerous state.

In the first place, what we are doing now was not a war.

It was suppression.

I thought the fight would end unexpectedly blandly.

There was no way the sons of the Jackson family, who had formed a faction, could defeat an army formed by several families.

“The leader of the Crimson Troupe.”

While preparing for the campaign, someone called Adam.

He was an aide to the king.

“…You must not go out. His Majesty wants to talk for a moment.”

“…”

Adam, who had thought the short conversation was over, felt puzzled.

Still, I had no intention of rejecting the offer.

He was a king.

After the end of the war, he was also an opponent who could guarantee the safety of the Red Flames.

Adam looked at Gendry and nodded.

– Took.

Take off the helmet.

Then he said to the two executives who were looking at him.

“…Theodore, Crian. Find Berg first.”

Theodore nodded his head.

“Of course. Don’t worry, Captain.”

“I’ll be back, Captain.”

.

.

.

All but a few of the guards rushed into the Jacksons’ keep.

The king, Rex Draigo, was quietly watching the scene.

Adam kept silent behind him.

The king looked at the scenery and said quietly.

“…The past few months have been fun. Watching the red yeomdan grow.”

“…”

“Isn’t the quiet mercenary corps accepting nobles as a reward… Haven’t you heard that there is a tremendous sub-captain… They say they overpowered other mercenaries and took priority in receiving requests…”

“…”

“But in addition to that, there are two candidates for the fighter for solitude. It’s fun, isn’t it?”

Adam remained silent.

He didn’t even bother to answer, as it wasn’t a question that needed an answer.

The king spoke as if he didn’t need Adam’s answer from the beginning.

“You are wise, Adam. Red yeomdan will survive after the war.”

“…”

Quietly, Adam hardened his expression.

This is how I feel that my choice was right.

If I hadn’t prepared, I might have become one of the mercenaries to be disbanded.

“Of course, assuming we win the war. Something like this should never happen again.”

The king speaks.

He slowly turned his head.

I met eyes with Adam.

Adam didn’t avoid his eyes like that.

“…Are you a Rin fighter?”

In an instant, the king asked.

It was a serious question asked with a firm expression.

“I don’t know either.”

Adam answered just as seriously.

The king then asks.

“Then, is that vice-captain a Rin fighter?”

Adam shook his head briefly.

“…I don’t think so.”

The king sighs.

“We have to win the war, but we still haven’t found a fighter for solitude… Won. I wonder if this problem arose because he wasn’t there.”

“…”

“Adam, you know that. If we lose the war against the Demon King… The Red Flame Team will survive and there will be nothing. Humans, elves, and dragons…all of them will slowly wither away from the demons.”

Then, the king stiffened his expression again and asked. There is a slight sense of oppression.

“…Couldn’t you or the vice-captain join the hero’s party?”

“…………”

Adam thought for a long time about what to say. In any case, he struggled with how to speak.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision and spoke straight to the king.

“I can’t.”

I refused his request outright.

I didn’t know what would happen if I went wrong…But I had to gamble.

“At a point where there is no evidence of being a fighter for solitude, it is a burden to be with the heroes.”

“There is no evidence that he is not a fighter for solitude.”

“…”

Adam looked at Rex instead of answering.

Rex smiled after a long snowball fight.

“You have great courage. There was no existence that could stand this far in front of me. I’ve been waiting for you to know everything.”

“…”

He lets out a long sigh.

The atmosphere becomes lighter.

“Yes, you are right. There’s no evidence, so you can’t force it. No matter how much a king behaves, he loses the hearts of people. Ah, as the leader of the mercenary corps, you must understand my feelings to some extent.”

“…If I had to force anything, carrots would work better than sticks.”

Rex let out a big laugh at that.

Laugh heartily for a while.

“This guy has no fear at all! I still like it.”

Gail said.

Rex, who took a deep breath, asked.

“So, do you have any carrots you want?”

“…”

Adam momentarily recalled old thoughts.

Recall the moments of rolling on the battlefield for a long time.

I also remembered the members who had died and left.

…Lastly, I think of Berg, who was tired of mercenary work.

“…”

Adam did not forget the conversation he had with Berg at the Blackwood estate.

It was also a thought that always settled in Adam’s mind in the first place.

‘I’m not a noble, so I don’t have land. I can’t even farm. That’s why I keep doing mercenary work like this.’

‘Sounds like you want to make a living by farming someday, right?’

‘It’s best if you can, Berg. I said, but when the war ends, we have to find a new way out.’

Adam pondered and said.

“…..A title and land would be nice.”

“You want to be a noble.”

The King looked at Gendry.

Gendry nods his head.

He opened his mouth again to the aide’s affirmation.

“Yes. It’s not difficult. This is the point at which there are many lands that have lost their owners due to monsters. What can we do if the war ends?”

“…”

The King smiles.

From noble mtl dot com

“You said you wouldn’t be able to join the party of warriors?”

Adam nodded again.

The king speaks.

“Yes. If so, do it. In the first place, there was a story that the fighters of solitude act apart from the hero’s party… Literally, aren’t they fighters of solitude?”

He smiles. Then he said as if installing a safety device.

“But remember one thing. If you make a great contribution in the war, I will give you a title.”

Adam looked at the king.

He continued.

“It’s a promise. If that moment ever comes…Don’t forget it.”
