128 – Dehahahahaha(1)
The human kingdom has obtained a national treasure.
The news quickly spread to other races. Like the national treasures of the human kingdom, other races also had weapons left by their ancestors to fight demons. Although it is all lost now.
Unsurprisingly, however, other races have not tried to retrieve the relic until now. Because it consumes so much. Surprisingly, the balance of power between the races was not very different.
It’s only a story when dragons and vampires are excluded. Anyway, if you use your strength to find an artifact that you don’t know if it really exists or not. Of course, the aftermath will return.
Though now, due to the mediation of the Royal Knights, conflicts between races have greatly decreased. Didn’t a territorial dispute between the Dwarves and the Beasts immediately after the collapse of the Royal Knights?
So they were passive about finding relics with each other. Because I didn’t want to waste my energy. However, the human kingdom, which was evaluated as the weakest, suddenly found a national treasure.
[The human kingdom has taken over a new territory.]
[In addition to that, you also obtained a national treasure?]
[It’s dangerous. The balance of power is breaking little by little.]
It came as a threat to other races. Right after the collapse of the Royal Knights, it was because the human kingdom was the most developed among the tribal unions.
Aside from everything else, I recommended an outstanding talent named Hans to the collapsed Royal Knights. After that, just by supporting the Royal Knights, the achievements of the human kingdom were beyond imagination.
In addition, I used that connection to create connections with the Dwarven Principality and the 12 tribes, and proceeded with several projects. Recently, he was reaching out to Orcs and Elves, who had little to do with each other.
Now, it is no longer possible to shake off the hands of the human kingdom. To that extent, the influence of the human kingdom was growing little by little. By the way, in such a situation, did you get your hands on a national treasure in addition to territorial expansion?
[It can’t stay like this.]
[You must need a number.]
[To do so…….]
A sense of crisis about falling behind. And even the desire to obtain power. Ironically, it was from hope. That we too can fight the demons and win. In that hope.
And their eyes naturally turned to the symbol of hope.

“The Dwarven Principality requested assistance?”
“Yes.”

Hans clicked his tongue. As the human kingdom won the siege, its territory expanded. Based on that, I was continuing to move forward. Thanks to that, I thought I had a little bit of leeway.
But what is this? Aren’t requests from other countries still coming in? Even the Dwarven Principality is an ally of the human kingdom, and at the same time one of the biggest supporters of the Royal Knights.
I couldn’t just ignore it. And as long as there was Ruby, who was from the Dwarf Principality in the first place, ignoring it was only seen as an option for a bed ending no matter how you look at it. Hans sighed.
“So, where did they say they were attacking this time?”
“Actually, the Dwarven Principality is not going on an expedition.”
“You’re not going on an expedition?”
“Yes, it is.”
“From here on, I will explain.”
Ruby intervened between Cluna and Hans. For a moment, Cluna’s expression crumpled. Ruby lightly ignored it. It was Hans who cared about Cluna. What? Why is the expression on his face suddenly?
“Do you have any problems?”
“It’s nothing, Captain.”
“I’m asking you to focus on my story rather than that Kampf!”
“Do you know the details?”
“The Dwarven Principality is trying to attack the Purgatory Workshop!”
“Purgatory Workshop? What is it?”
This was the first time even Hans had heard of it. In the first place, the Principality of Dwarves had been destroyed in the middle of the story. At least the heroine from the Dwarf Principality rebuilds the Dwarf Principality. That’s right, it’s a reconstruction.
It was practically no different from a refugee camp. Of course, there are things that have been solved with the setting book. At least I had never heard of a place called Purgatory Workshop. Ruby laughed and continued to explain.
“The Purgatory Workshop was one of the legends of the Dwarven Principality!”
“A legend?”
“That’s right! In the face of great evil, the place where the giant with the wisdom of the ancestors sleeps! Sooner or later, receive a scorching heat test. Eventually, the giant will rise again!”
“But isn’t that just a legend?”
“That’s right! At least the people know that!”
“The people know that, that’s why…”
“The purgatory workshop is real!!!”
Hans felt his head hurt at Ruby’s cry. No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem like a dangerous place. Besides, he’s a steel giant. It’s kind of like a mobile fortress.
‘It was terrible. Mobile fortress.’
The Mobile Fortress was a weapon of destruction for the continent that the demons who had absorbed the technological power of the Dwarven Principality had made. A huge fortress moves while shooting cannons. It’s bound to be a nightmare.
In fact, Mobile Fortress was one of the most frustrating enemies when you first met it. At least the other bosses can be attacked somehow. The mobile fortress doesn’t even work.
Unless you really prepare and prepare, it is very difficult to attack the Mobile Fortress. So, it is normal to push the story only to the middle and prepare for the attack of the Mobile Fortress through Nogada.
I just saved the Dwarf Principality from the clutches of demons. Perhaps that terrible Mobile Fortress will never pop up again. Of course, it was just a toy to the late Hans.
Because this isn’t a game, it’s reality. Reducing strong enemies as much as possible is a good choice considering the future. Anyway, Hans thought. What if a weapon equivalent to a mobile fortress is our ally?
“Okay, let’s accept this request.”
“Thank you!”
“It’s only natural when you think about the future.”
“A steel giant…”
“Have you ever heard of it?”
“No, no.”
Show me what Cluna thinks with her arms crossed. Just in case, Hans asked a question. Cluna shook her head in denial. After all, Cluna doesn’t know about the steel giant.
After much thought, Hans accepted the request. He didn’t have the option of ignoring it anyway. Above all, it will be less burdensome than traveling. So Hans did not choose all of the Royal Knights.
Last time, anyway, I went on an expedition to recapture the territory ruled by demons. Because now we are going inside the Dwarf Duchy. It’s probably a less dangerous quest.
“For now, since it’s a Dwarf Principality thing, Ruby will participate unconditionally. I’ll just have to take one more person with me.”
“That’s nice!”
“Does anyone have any physical problems?”
Hans wanted to give the members a bit of a break. Not to mention the young Helia in particular. Even for Yuren and Cluna, who suffered the most. However, members did not.
‘This is an opportunity.’
‘A chance to beat the others!’
‘I can’t miss this.’
So far, everyone has been working together. Because it had to be. When the True Ancestors invaded, everyone had to focus on the enemies in front of them and barely won.
After that, it was the second expedition on which the fate of the Royal Knights actually depended. However, it is different now. It was a leisurely enough quest that he could control the number of members now.
And that also meant that I could hit and move farther than the rest of the team. By any chance, if I end up sleeping with the leader in this quest. That’s nailing it at all.
“I don’t think this is going to back off.”
“I guess so.”
“I can’t help it. Let’s decide here by force.”
“It can’t be helped. Why is the conclusion like that?”
At the sight of the members pulling out their weapons naturally, Hans was appalled and immediately stopped him. After many twists and turns, Bayard became the one to go to the Dwarven Principality together. The reason was simple.
“Because Bayard is the best match for Ruby.”
“That’s what it is!”
“Thank you! Captain! I will not forget this grace!”
“It’s even grace.”
For Hans, the only thing he could control was the Bayard. Clara and Yuren are difficult to control, and Helya and Cluna are slightly afraid. In other words, Bayard was passable.
After deciding on the number of people, Hans took the minimum supplies and set off on a wyvern. It was because it seemed that useless trouble would arise if we stayed longer. …… No, it’s actually an excuse.
From that day, that is, from the moment when an unknown memory came to my mind. Hans was strangely avoiding Helia. The reason was that he himself did not know. It’s just that he felt reluctant to see Helya.
“Ruby.”
“Huh? What’s going on?”
From noble mtl dot com
“No, nothing.”
I’ve been thinking about discussing this matter. Hans immediately shook his head. I didn’t want to burden my members. I just need to slowly organize my thoughts while doing this quest.
You can’t avoid Helya forever.
That was Hans’ idea.
