Inside an Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 226

After defeating the Four Heavenly Kings Parasite, waiting for the two warriors and the Platinum Knights was a post-war process.

The Platinum Knights Commander, Bennett, had the wounded receive treatment and the healthy knights set up guard duty in order to take a break.

As the situation unfolded, Bennett wanted to arrange a funeral for the dead knights.

No matter how cursed this place is, there is no reason to undermine human dignity.

However, Cloud closed the funeral and made a status report. Despite Bennet’s protest, he did not give in, and Bennett was compelled to follow his orders.

“In this battle, 12 people were injured and 3 were injured, so 72 people can be put into battle right away.”

Bennett’s barracks.

Bennett, who faced Frilite and Cloud in front of them, said.

Cloud asked after receiving the report.

“What about the 12 injured? Is it difficult to treat?”

“no. After treatment, as long as you get some rest, you can return to the front line.”

“Then the remaining knights will be 84. There were 100 people when we first started… so the damage is less than I thought.”

Several months have passed since the Platinum Knights entered the demon realm. They spent those months in a land this man could not live on.

Unlike Cloud, there was no guide, so he would have had to continue on a land he did not know well.

Without any certainty that this path they are walking on is the right one.

Under such circumstances, this land of death would have given them many hardships and adversity, but I think they maintained order without breaking down.

“You must have done a great job.”

“no. Frilite-sama suffered more than me. If it hadn’t been for Frillite-sama, who took the lead in fighting monsters than anyone else, no matter how much I was, I wouldn’t have been able to survive this much of an army.”

Saying so, Bennett glanced at Frillite. I hope that the words you just raised have made you feel better. But unfortunately, it was a no-brainer.

Frillite’s eyes on Bennet were still cold.

he groaned inwardly.

Bennett, who had assisted her for the past several years, knew very well that there was nothing good against Frilite’s heart.

It was because I had personally witnessed the apostle of the evil spirit, who had done disgusting things, to be cut by the wrath of Frilite’s sword.

Of course, Frillite won’t split Bennett, but…

Fear is not caused by reason.

Bennett wanted to get out of this fear as soon as possible, but…

‘You have to know the reason to make a mistake and ask for forgiveness.’

No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing to point out.

What the hell did I do wrong?

Bennett held back a sigh as she was about to come out in frustration.

At that moment, Cloud’s voice pierced Bennett’s ear hole.

“Chief? Are you listening to me?”

“Oh, yes. warrior. I am listening.”

“okay. Then prepare to return as soon as the wounded are healed.”

“…Yes?”

Bennett’s eyebrows narrowed at the sudden sound.

If you tell me to prepare to leave, I will understand. We’re going to leave this place and head to the Demon King’s Castle.

But are you ready to go back?

It was like saying that you should leave the Demon Realm and return to the Empire.

As Bennett tilted, Cloud sighed.

“You didn’t even hear me properly. Let me say it again. The Platinum Knights will return to the Empire after completing their expeditionary mission as of this moment.”

“What do you mean by that!”

Bennett pounded on the table and jumped to his feet. Then Frilite said in a calm voice.

“Chief of the Knights. Calm down the excitement.”

“How can I not get excited when I am asked to come back after a sudden mission?!”

“Bennet.”

Bennett trembled. Frillite called him by title, not by name under certain circumstances. Is that her own consideration to respect him?

But now they call him by name.

his intuition said.

He said that if he behaved wrongly, something very sad would happen to him.

Not wanting to be sad, Bennett coughed and sat back down on the chair.

“Looks like I was too excited. I’m sorry that I couldn’t see you.”

“it’s okay. I’m doing my duty without issue, but if someone suddenly comes to me and tells me to finish what I’ve been doing and return to work, I’ll get excited too.”

“Thank you for your generous generosity. But can you find out the reason for the return of our knights? Did you even come down with a yellow name?”

“It’s not yellow. In the first place, it is not a situation where Hwangmyeong will come down.”

Frilite tilted her head at the meaningful words Cloud added.

“It is not a situation where Hwangmyeong will come down. What does that mean?”

“Oh, I didn’t tell you. There has been an uprising in the Empire, and the Emperor has passed away.”

“Well..?”

“..Yes?”

Frillite and Bennett turned to stone.

It is not unreasonable to be surprised to hear such shocking news all of a sudden.

Cloud, thinking that a little more detailed explanation was needed, talked about how the vampires’ rebellion took place, the damage it caused, and the greedy eyes of nobles on the empty throne.

When the story ended, the expression on their faces wasn’t very good.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…”

Loyal Bennett was greatly agitated.

“The geese is cringe… If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have left him alive, even if I had to break my oath…!”

Thinking that the disaster could have been prevented in advance, Frilite blamed herself.

Cloud comforted her.

“How did you know he would do that? And if I had killed him then, I would have been remembered as an ordinary warrior killer.”

“If it is for the safety of the empire, such as honor, it can be thrown away. No, I should have thrown it out sooner. If that were the case…”

“Again, it’s a start. Didn’t I tell you to change that habit of beating yourself up?”

“I did… I did. But this is-”

“This?”

Cloud narrowed his eyes and looked at her. She licked her lips a few times, then sighed and ruffled her bangs.

“…not. sorry. I broke my promise because I was confused.”

“I’m even sorry.”

Cloud patted her on the shoulder and turned to Bennett.

“Now that the Emperor has passed away and there is no savvy successor, the Empress is taking the place. If I don’t say this enough, can you gauge the current state of the empire?”

Bennett thought of the court nobles.

The greed they possess without a manor far exceeds that of the manor aristocrats.

Perhaps they see the moment when the imperial family’s authority has weakened as an opportunity.

Bennett’s brow furrowed.

“…the old ugly snakes are moving.”

“you’re right. As far as the empress’s safety is concerned, I’m sure you’ll be safe, but that’s about it. What is possible with the threat of my absence. Perhaps the Empress is still being hit here and there? He is not a weak person, but he will be pushed back in many ways by the old men who have survived the imperial palace for decades.”

Bennett remembered the empress playing with the tongues of the court nobles and sharpened her teeth. The clenched fists trembled as if they wanted to explode the heads of the nobles at any moment.

“Do you understand now why the Knights Templar must return?”

Bennett nodded.

To protect the authority of the imperial family.

That was the purpose and most important rule of the Platinum Knights.

When the imperial family was in crisis, the knights had to protect them no matter what.

“All right. We will prepare for the return according to the wishes of the hero.”

“You thought well. Don’t worry about this place, please go back and support Empress Mama.”

“Yes. Don’t worry… Yes?”

Bennett found an awkward part in the flow of the conversation and asked.

“Don’t worry about this place… Do you think Cloud Hero will remain in the Demon Realm?”

“Is that so? do you have a problem?”

“Of course there is!!”

Bennett hit the table and got up. It was more noisy than before, but this time, Frilite didn’t stop it either.

“Since you have come all the way here, you must know the horrors of the Demon World. It means that no matter where you throw it on the continent, it will not be harsher than here. The owner of such a demon realm is the Demon King. But to fight the Demon King with the heroes… Impossible! After your work in the Empire, come with us.”

“Then it is too late. At the most, we have captured all of the Four Heavenly Kings, but can we not give them time to choose a new Four Heavenly King?”

“that…”

It wasn’t wrong.

It is not without precedent that someone else took the place of the dead Four Heavenly Kings.

After thinking for a while, Bennett said as if there was nothing he could do.

“All right. Then half of our knights will remain.”

“You don’t have to. The Platinum Knights return to the Empire. This fact will not change.”

“Cloud Champion… Why are you so stubborn? Isn’t it better to have more allies?”

“That’s it…”

‘I do it because it doesn’t help.’

In the game, I didn’t know because the character died as soon as I entered the demon realm, but the demon realm was a pretty rough place.

At least to the extent that it cannot be compared to the continent.

In other words, it means that even the Platinum Knights, who are said to be flying in the continent, will not be of much help in the Demon Realm.

‘It must have been because of Prylite that they reached this far.’

Cloud, who had just met her, had no doubts about it.

As he pondered how to convince Bennett, Bennett spoke first.

“You think we are not good enough.”

“…”

Cloud didn’t bother answering. However, in this situation, silence was synonymous with affirmation.

“good. If you’re going to say that, show it to me. If you instill confidence that we will not be of any help to the hero, we will return to the Empire without hesitation.”

“It is.”

It would be much better to experience it with your body than to persuade with words.

Cloud drew his sword and stood up from the table, and Bennett drew his sword with great tension.

‘I can’t win.’

As the pride of the Empire, as the leader of the Platinum Knights, it was quite a shameful thing to admit, but I had to admit it.

In the first place, Cloud had the ability to liberate Frilite, who was stronger than Bennet, from the Four Heavenly Kings.

Bennett’s defeat is understandable.

But now it’s not about winning or losing a fight that matters.

The important thing is to prove that you are not an obstacle by showing your skills.

Bennett raised his sword with his heart set.

Although not as high as Cloud or Frilite, a very dense sword energy rises from the blue blade of the Oriharkon sword.

With the exception of the two warriors, he had enough swordsmanship to be proud of being the best on the continent.

With a sword that would tear even the walls of the castle engraved with protective magic like a piece of paper, Bennett tried to move calmly.

But before he could show any action, Cloud was already in front of him.

He dug into the very brief moment of blinking his eyes.

Bennett didn’t respond until Cloud came close, as he had completely hid even the signs of what he was doing.

Cloud’s sword flies towards Bennett’s neck.

Bennett was bewildered, but it was not too late to swing the sword. It was too late to avoid or completely block, so the decision was to clash the swords and take a breath.

spatula-

Bennett’s sword was cut off.

“what?!”

In a moment of shock, Cloud’s sword touched Bennet’s neck.

“That would have been enough of an answer.”

Cloud retrieved the sword and left the barracks. Frillite walked over to Bennett and placed her hand on his shoulder, a bewildered expression on his face.

“You are never lacking. Please don’t lose confidence in this incident.”

After a few pats on how it is, he followed Cloud and left the barracks.

Even after the two had left, Bennett looked at his own sword, which had been cut in two for a while.

Then, when he found that the cut section was too neat, he laughed.

“Still, I thought we were the same person… but that was a stupid idea.”

A person who is human but not human.

Only then did Bennet realize the true meaning of the hero.

“This is so… haha…”

The sound of laughter echoing inside the barracks was empty.

Bennett.

He felt denied his entire life.
