Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 199

“We must raise the army and punish those wicked bats immediately. Your Majesty and the Pope, what are you hesitating about!”

long round table.

A middle-aged man clad in black full-plate armor exclaimed as if urging. He may look like a knight because of his outfit, but he is no ordinary knight.

Leonard Ekin.

He is the head of the Leonards, one of the five Dukes of the Empire.

Fabre Loki, the head of another duke’s family, tried to stop his furious performance.

“I understand how you feel. I would like to lead the army and invade the territory right away and reclaim the lost territory. However, the purpose of this meeting is not to simply win over them, but to uproot them and get rid of them. So take it easy.”

“I had to run away leaving my little son in their surprise. Do you understand how I feel? funny sound! Yeah, that’s how you say you want to understand, so I hope the bats’ next target will be your estate.”

“…I admit that my remarks were frivolous. But your remark goes far beyond frivolity.”

The atmosphere of the conference hall became cold as the two dukes fought. In that atmosphere, only the heads of other dukes, the emperor, and the pope were able to calm down.

Except for them, the marquis, the counts, and the people of the lower ranks trembled, hoping that sparks would not ignite themselves.

Looking at the pathetic action, the emperor sighed.

“Sir Ekin and Sir Loki, both of you take it easy.”

“But Your Majesty!”

“Sir Ekin. Do you intend to defy the Huangming?”

“…”

At the word of Hwang Myung, Ekin bit her lips tightly and was dissatisfied, but had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. The only way to reclaim the territory that had fallen into the hands of the vampires was to mobilize the army of the emperor and other dukes and paladins.

In such a situation, it was one of the subordinates to go against the emperor’s intentions.

As Ekin shut his mouth, the meeting room became quiet.

The emperor looked back at the nobles who attended the ceremony and said:

“I have sent a messenger to the warrior.”

“When you say warrior, are you referring to Cloud?”

“Yes.”

As the emperor nodded, the atmosphere in the conference hall became slightly brighter.

“Yes. There was still one hero left on the continent.”

“If you are a hero who has defeated even the Four Heavenly Kings, you can easily deal with bats.”

“I was puzzled when I didn’t let him join the expedition, but your Majesty’s insight was looking into the future like this. I am respectful.”

When the tension was relieved, the nobles trembled at the emperor to see if their true nature came out.

Meanwhile, Duke Jenkinson opened his mouth.

“What are you going to do if the hero doesn’t follow the Yellow Order?”

There was silence in the conference hall at his words.

The nobles wanted to say something stingy to him who poured cold water on him, but that was impossible because he was a duke.

He just sat quietly and hoped that the emperor would point out his rudeness.

And, as expected, the emperor frowned as if he was slightly offended.

“I don’t follow the twilight… What do you mean, Sir Jenkinson? You’d better choose your words carefully.”

Jenkinson didn’t mind the Emperor’s low voice. Unlike Ekin, he did not have any major problems with the estate. Thanks to you, I had some spare time.

“It is literally. What if he doesn’t go against the twilight and subdue vampires, or vice versa?”

Another noble interrupted Jenkinson’s words.

“I heard that for Cloud, Gis is the ultimate supporter. There’s no way he can’t get attached to vampires with gimmicks, right?”

“Well… isn’t everyone used to killing emotions for a while for the sake of future glory?”

The nobles kept their mouths shut. The nobles here are all heads of one family. They knew best that private emotions should be excluded when deciding on the family’s affairs.

But the emperor shook his head.

“I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but he’s not like that. If he had tried to covet power, he would have used his own young queen to devour Prona’s kingdom earlier.”

“Are you saying you have no desire for power? That’s good. But one question remains. Will he really obey the decree? Please do not mention the stigma of a previously engraved oath. Your Majesty is well aware that a stigma has no effect on someone who is about a hero, don’t you?”

“I will. But he will come.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“Isn’t he a human after all? There’s no way I’d want to live in a world where vampires are the mainstay.”

“The evidence is a little weak.”

“Actually, there are more solid reasons than that.”

“What?”

“Brave, Cloud is said to be engaged to Frilite de Ferdiak, the wife of the Ferdiak family.”

At those words, all the nobles widened their eyes and turned their eyes to the head of the Duke Perdiak family.

After the meeting started, he nodded in affirmation, who had been silent throughout.

The nobles were astonished at him.

It is because they all remember being seriously injured while trying to arrange the engagement of their son and Frylite in order to make a connection with the Ferdiak family.

As in Lorian’s case, the absence of a reply was just aegyo.

“What the hell…?”

What the hell did Cloud do to be able to get engaged to Frylite?

To the question that implied such a meaning, the head of the Perdiak family replied that he had only done what his daughter wanted.

As the nobles, dissatisfied with the answer, tried to inquire further, he stared at him with his own life.

That alone ended the situation.

Jenkinson smirked and nodded.

“…Anyway, it’s definitely a good argument. As long as he loves her, he will not do anything against her empire.”

the emperor replied

“If the hero plays an important role in this matter, I plan to not only forgive him for his previous sins, but also give him an honorary title. A man marrying a woman from the imperial duke’s family should be treated like that.”

It was a time when the other nobles responded that they were right, and they were about to tremble again.

The door to the conference room swung open, and a knight in red armor rushed into the conference room.

No nobles blamed the knight’s rudeness.

Because it was like an exhibition situation now. I just wanted to know why that knight sprinted through the conference hall door to the point of being rude.

“It’s low!”

“What? it’s daytime We can’t attack now unless the vampires are crazy.”

“Did you even hire mercenaries?”

“This is the capital of the empire. A mercenary like that would look over this place? Did all the mercenaries existing on the continent form an alliance?”

“Taking money from a vampire and betraying the same human being… That’s why dirty fabrics are not allowed. Your Majesty, as soon as this is over, you will slaughter those filthy seeds!”

The nobles, who thought the enemy attack was a betrayal of the mercenaries, spoke out indignantly.

“I am not a mercenary!”

The knight shouted and cleared the misunderstanding of the nobles. He looked at the knight with the curious eyes of the nobles.

“You’re not a mercenary? So who are you? Maybe in another kingdom-”

“It’s a vampire!”

“The sun was bright and vampires attacked? Make it sound that makes sense!”

“Yeah, that’s why the sun is weird. Unlike usual, the black one, the black one…”

“Speak straight! What is the sun?”

“Stop it, Sir Ekin.”

The emperor stopped Ekin from urging the knights. He said looking back at the other nobles.

“It seems that something strange has happened that is difficult to explain in words. Better go and see for yourself. Besides, right now, isn’t it that all the elite troops of the Empire have gathered? There is no need to fear vampires under the sun.”

No one objected to the Emperor’s words. As he said, Duke Wu and other nobles had brought their elite knights and soldiers from their respective families.

They saw the current situation as an opportunity to break the momentum of the vampires.

Until I left the palace.

“Oh my God, Iris. What am I looking at?”

A priest muttered in dismay. His reaction was on the gentle side. Others spit out swear words or sat down, giving away the kind of dignity that they normally judged like that.

Their reaction was not unusual.

Because the scene unfolding before their eyes was unrealistic.

The blue sky centered on the black sun was dyed bright red.

Above that sky, pale-faced vampires were floating, flapping their huge bat wings.

They were so numerous that if they had been united rather than sparsely, they could have obscured the sky a little bit.

At the center of the group of vampires divided into four, there was a vampire with unusual energy.

Perhaps they are Lord, the leader of the vampire group.

“…that article was correct.”

Jenkinson smirked and drew his sword.

“I told you not to bring your family.”

I thought this would be the safest place on the continent as all the nobles of the empire gathered, but I guess I was wrong.

Apparently today is the last day for him and his family…

Also, maybe it would be the end of the empire.

* * *

-A week before the sun in the imperial capital turns black.

“Your Majesty’s orders?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Then let’s go, okay? As soon as you pack your bags, you leave. Go ahead and tell me.”

“All right. By the way, can I ask you just one thing?”

“it’s okay. ask.”

“Hey, that’s the dragon that the warrior is sitting on, isn’t it?”

“right?”

“Apart from how you captured that powerful dragon, why did you pull out the dragon’s heart?”

“I have something to make with this.”

“If you say you’ll make it…?”

“You want me to ask you one thing? Stop asking questions and go back.”

“Oh, yes. Excuse me. then…”

The Emperor’s messenger bowed his head and left. Like a herald, he ran fast. Only after the new herald became invisible did Cloud begin to build the poison.

A poison made from dragon hearts.

The dragon blood poison, which has to be condensed dozens of times to produce only one or two drops, is one of the deadliest poisons that even kills old dragons.

And what Cloud was trying to create was that blood poison.
