Episode 149
Operation name.
You, become my subordinate.
The plan is simple.
To stop the wild ogres, I moved to Tesiran alone.
The goal is to open the ‘dimensional door’ at the right time.
Through this portal, the ogres of Sky Mountain rush out like a flood and slaughter all the traitors who have lost their pride.
Exactly 10 minutes later.
My plan is for the ogres of Sky Mountain to safely return to Sky Mountain through the portal.
When this plan was explained, all the ogres gathered at Sky Peak shouted.
“good night! “All the ogres on Sky Mountain follow the ‘Lord’!”
“right! right!”
《Ogre Kinggram is subordinated to the Ogre Lord.》
《Ogre Omerush is the Ogre Lord
》
Including Kinggram and Omerush, the tribal leader Harkan.
And, about 300 ogre warriors became my subordinates and announced their participation in the war.
Of course, for this plan to work as expected, one hypothesis must be met.
“by the way. “What if it’s already too late?”
What if Tesiran has already been trampled by ogres?
Strang said not to worry about this part.
“You’re on a quest. “Time limit.”
“huh’? yes.”
《*Time limit: 146：13：11)
A little over 6 days.
The quest speaks.
“The raid will begin at exactly that time. “The quest isn’t that shabby.”
I see
The remaining time is approximately 6 days.
Although it is not enough time to go from Sky Mountain to Tesiran.
If you consider preparing for the ogres’ attack in Tesiran, that is not a lot of time.
That’s why I got on the horse at the same time that the Sky Mountain ogres’ ‘subordination’ ended.
“Hey!”
Strang and I ran straight to Tesiran.
* ♦ ♦
Although it is literally three days away from Sky Mountain.
At the same time, the city located closest to it.
What is Tesi?
This is a ‘planned’ city built by the Lynak Empire to defend the empire from invasion by ogres.
The role is ‘shield’.
If this Tesiran is breached, all nearby villages will not last even a day.
Otherwise, it will turn into a wasteland.
The great cities of the empire, which had been living a relatively safe life in the rear, may be destroyed one after another.
Of course, the empire is a powerful country.
In order to prevent the anger from reaching the capital city of Leverdine, a large-scale defense plan will be made and the defense and subjugation will eventually be successful.
In the meantime, countless people will die and be injured.
Even in order to prevent this in advance.
Even for my easy quest.
We must prevent Tesiran from collapsing.
《*Time limit: 71：53：48》
“Hey!”
Starting from Sky Mountain, crossing the Tesiran Gate and entering the city, it took exactly 75 hours.
The remaining time is approximately time.
Since I didn’t have much time, I continued to ride toward the residence where the lord of Tesiran was staying.
However, I had to waste meaningless time here.
“… … “The lord is not there?”
“Haam-! yes. “You went out hunting.”
“Hunting? “What kind of hunting is this in this wasteland?”
Te Siran’s administrator appeared yawning in broad daylight when he should have been working for a while.
He greeted me as if I had no trouble in the world.
“You can’t hunt just because it’s a wasteland. Catching foxes, catching wolves, nothing.
“If not, sometimes I catch lizards.”
“When are you coming?”
“Hmm. well. Once he goes out hunting, he doesn’t come back for three or four days… … . But judging by the fact that you have plans for tomorrow evening, I think you’ll be back around lunch time… … . By the way, did you make an appointment in advance to visit? Your name is… … ?”
“no. No promises have been made. But that’s not important now… …
“It’s important. What our lord considers most important is
It’s a ‘time appointment’. He is a person who never wastes even a single hour. He wakes up at exactly 7 o’clock and eats breakfast at 8 a.m. every day. After a light meal that never lasts longer than 15 minutes, there is a concise work briefing. Afterwards, it’s Youngju’s ‘personal rest time’, and this is the most important. He really hates being disturbed by anyone. Next is an early lunch, followed by a 2-hour nap… …
“hey.”
“••••••yes?”
“promise. Please hold me. What’s the fastest time?”
The administrator seemed offended that he had been interrupted, and said as he half-heartedly checked the schedule.
“Let’s see, maybe in a month.”
“yes?”
“There is a person who has a very tight schedule. How can I catch it in a month?”
Look at this kid.
Do you know what time it is?
Are you procrastinating?
In a month, this city called Tesiran may disappear and be included in the history books.
“no. “I need to see you right away.”
“As I said, that is impossible. Unless it is a very urgent matter, it is better to follow promises and procedures… …
“It’s urgent. very.”
The administrator looked me up and down and asked if I finally had the heart to listen.
“What’s going on?”
“Ogres will invade Tethyran. “Now, there are 70 hours left.”
The magistrate’s eyes narrowed.
Then, he asked me very carefully.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
“This is Ruin Ardel.”
“Ruin, Ruin… …
After thinking for a while, the administrator nodded as if he was convinced that it was a name he had never heard of.
Then, he lit a double wick at me and shouted.
“You rotten bastard! “It doesn’t go out at all!”
“yes?”
“Do you think I’ve seen someone like you once or twice? My lord! The ogre is coming! My lord! The ogre took my husband! Youngjuniyim! Ogre go! Hey! Hehe!”
“If you stay here in Tesiran, you will hear that level of bravado every day. But this guy. According to what braggarts like you say, Teshiran is a loser.
I guess it would have disappeared. Oh what? It’s funny. Do you know how many years it has been since the ogres on Sky Mountain disappeared? Hundreds of years! Hundreds of years! But what? An ogre appears? Are there 70 hours left? Just curse. “Curse!”
The administrator turns his back and slams the door! It reached me.
Suddenly, Strang and I ended up having a conversation while looking at a wall.
“Such a back body.”
Strang says the swear words I want to say
God gave it to me.
I wanted to break this door and rush inside right now.
Not everything can be solved with emotions alone.
Anyway, it must be true that the lord of Tesiran is not present.
Because of this, I had no choice but to waste more time in the day.
《*Time limit: 45：11：12>
Now, there are 45 hours left.
Still, if we succeed in persuading the lord of Tesiran within today, we will be able to fight a decent defensive battle.
but.
“Heng? what. “Are you here again?”
“You’re a lot more persistent than you look, aren’t you? No one has ever visited me twice in a row… … . good. “I will recognize that grit.”
The administrator in the example began to blatantly treat me as a ‘bigger’.
“What are you going to say today? Yeongju Niim! There are 48 hours left until the ogres attack! like this?”
“no. There are exactly 45 hours left. “If you don’t meet my lord right now, it won’t end with your head being blown off.”
“Threatening a bluff subject… … . okay. The lord returned from hunting. But you won’t meet anyone today. You must be very tired from catching the lizard. “You’re soaking in a hot bathtub right now.”
Oh, that’s right.
Now we have to go to war with ogres instead of lizards, and a hot bath?
Eh, I guess I’ll just attack and leave!
“Please let me meet you right away. “I really don’t have time.”
“Uh-huh! Have you ever seen such a persistent guy? … ! Did you hear, my lord, that you were taking a bath? “I think I’ll slap you.”
“You don’t know who I am, right?”
“you? know. “You braggart.”
Now, patience has reached its limit.
I smiled brightly and took out a card symbolizing my status as a wizard.
The guy’s eyes wavered strangely.
『Ruin Ardel』
『Wizard, Radian Kingdom.』
However, he still doesn’t seem to believe it.
“Have you prepared a lot? Where did you get this… … Ahh!”
I can’t waste any more time.
I grabbed him by the collar and entered the mansion.
“Now, quickly guide me to where the lord is. Mr. Franky.”
“Ooh, a million! you! How do you know my name… … !”
“Quickly.”
“Ugh!”
Administrator Franky, who had fallen on the floor, stood up trembling.
He shouted angrily, lifting the bell he had hidden in his chest.
“you! who is this! Do you know what this is? As soon as I shake this, the guards will come down! “I’ll grab you, hang you upside down, and then give you a nice spanking!”
Dere den den den den!
The bell began to ring incessantly, and countless guards came down from the second floor of the mansion.
“haha! How do you feel? You braggart guy. People like you eat beans and rice in prison for the rest of their lives… …
I can’t believe I ran this far to save these guys.
I almost regret it a little.
But, you should understand.
It is true that there have been no ogre attacks on Tethyran for that long.
My story about an ogre coming out of nowhere might sound like a shepherd boy’s bragging.
Therefore, we cannot use ‘force’ against them.
Under all circumstances, you should avoid situations where you get into trouble.
It was then.
“W-what’s going on!”
At the urgent sound of the administrator’s bell, a man came running out of the bathroom, naked and without any clothes on, and suddenly stopped in the hallway.
Then, he quickly went into the bathroom again, wrapped his entire body in a towel, and came out.
“What’s going on!”
Probably the lord of Tesiran.
In response to the lord’s urgent question, the administrator said in a voice that it was no big deal.
“Ah, my lord. It’s no big deal. “The bluff braggart who carries around a wizard card from the Kingdom of Rhedian that says Ruin Ardel, doesn’t he say that ogres are attacking?”
“… … what?”
The face of the lord of Tesiran was distorted grotesquely.
He spoke, very slowly closing his gaping mouth.
“Pfft, Franky. “Try again.”
“yes? Oh, you don’t even have to listen. These are just words from a bluff guy. Well, what do you mean the ogres will attack within 45 hours? Haha! Hey! How dare you think of Tesiran and spread such false accusations… …
“no! Not that! Previously!”
“••••••yes’?”
The lord of Tesiran asked as he took a step towards me.
I guess he knows my name?
“I really… … . Are you Lord Ruin Ardel? The person who won last year’s Grand Festival
Next generation wizard… …
” yes.”
The lord of Tesiran was surprised by my concise answer and took a step back.
Slurp-
The pure white towel that had been covering his body fell to the floor, turning into its original form resembling a newborn baby.
However, he muttered in a trembling voice as if he did not know anything about shame.
“Cha, the next generation wizard••••••! W, it’s an honor! “It is an infinite honor!”
“W, my lord? what are you doing now
..?”
At the same time, Administrator Franky snorted as if it was absurd.
He was a ‘professional’ who survived in this mansion with only his wits.
After assessing the situation, he knelt down on the floor without any hesitation.
“I will serve you as my lord for the rest of my life.”
Oh, that’s right.
