Chapter 279: Ugly
When Yuu was dealing with Daddan and the merchants at the port of the Nameless Kingdom, there was a dispute elsewhere.
"I told those in the Set Republic about this country"
"Umm. How was the reaction?"
A young fallen demon reports to his chief, Bjarne.
"At first they were skeptical, but when I showed the bangle of sunlight, they showed interest"
"What about the bangle?"
"Of course I didn"t give it to them"
"That"s fine. Next"
"Jardalk is very vigilant and difficult to cross the border"
"In Hameln, it seems that they are attracting talented people from other races by appealing that they arent discriminating"
"The Derim Empire doesn"t seem to be able to hold down the aristocrats and the aristocrats do whatever they want, as if they had returned to the old Derim Empire"
"Because of its vast territory, the emperor"s eyes seem to be out of reach. At least there should be 『Spear Hero』"
The situation in each country is reported to Bjarne one after another. Bjarne and his subordinates were in one of the countless buildings in the harbor, where the fallen demons gathered and chatted. It doesn"t matter if the deprived people get together and talk. The problem is――
"What are you guys doing in a place like this?"
A few beastmen, led by a rat man, look at Bjarne with a sharp look.
"Why do we have to explain to you?"
"I remember your face. The one who abandoned the country often gave up his face"
Yes, the problem was that half of the deprived people here were those who left the Nameless Kingdom.
"Did you know that we have permission to enter from the king to the port?"
"Don"t you call him king!"
From the perspective of the ratman and other beastmen, he is a traitor, such as those who have left the Nameless Kingdom. Even though the traitor is at the harbor, they don"t like the fact that he sits openly.
"What"s wrong with calling our king king?"
However, the men of the fallen demon tribe are not defeated either. They dont pull back while staring at the beastmen.
"If you just want to be under the patronage of the king, isn"t it any different from a pet animal?"
"You......"
"What do you get angry with? We just told you the facts"
"How much have the beastmen done for the King? We fallen demons are different! We are always ready to give up our lives for the King!!"
"How much blood do we shed――"
"That"s enough!"
It was Bjarne"s roar that stopped the state of rushing.
"Nou, I have the permission of the King. Is that any problem?"
"N, No……"
Beastmen can"t say anything because of Bjarne´s pressure.
"Lord don"t say anything extra......"
"...............I"m sorry"
In the end, the place was reluctant.
---------------------------------------------
"d.a.m.n, what"s that att.i.tude!"
"I should have done it for the time being"
"Do the deprived people use poison?"
"What"s wrong with the poison? That"s what I"m going to use"
"I wish anyone could just say it"
"What does that mean?"
"Stop it, stop it, do more work"
Beastmen who resume patrolling the harbor verbally curse the deprived people.
"Even though I"m hiding, why don"t I have to get rid of my face?"
"What"s wrong?"
Another beastman talks to the ratman who is thinking about something.
"They didn"t go out because they didn"t like Nameless after all"
"That"s what the chief said, but the fallen demons are planning something――ah"
One of the beastmen suddenly stops. The others wondered what happened, and when another beastman chased his gaze, five beastmen were looking at them.
"Y, You guys!! What are you doing!!"
The ratman raises the hair on his whole body. No, when they saw it, the other beastmen had their hair turned upside down as well and their eyes were b.l.o.o.d.y.
"It"s been a long time, but don"t get so angry"
One of the five beastmen, a cat man, smiles and talks to the ratman.
"It"s here. Let"s talk over there"
The cat man goes from the harbor to the rocky area.
"What did you guys who abandoned the country come here to?"
"Don"t charge at me"
There are quite a few people who have left the Nameless kingdom, but among them, the beastmen are the most numerous. There are various reasons for this, but one of the reasons was that Yuu, a human, couldn"t be recognized as a king. These beastmen are the ones who went out saying that they wouldn"t recognize Yuu as a king.
"Where do you think we are being taken care of now?"
"Do you know! I don"t care who cares for anyone, even though I don"t have the grat.i.tude to abandon the country as soon as I get a job like you."
"Kuuku. Is this it?"
The cat man shrugs his shoulders and smiles at his companions.
"If you pick a fights――"
"Well, wait. We are indebted to the Beast King......"
"Beast King......?"
"Do you guys even know about the Beast King who controls Phils"s Great Tree Sea?"
There is a vast forest area in the northeastern part of the Set Republic called the Great Tree Sea of Barrafo, but in reality, a huge crack runs to divide this large tree sea in half. Some say it"s a crack in the ground caused by a battle between the beast kings, while others say it"s the result of a battle between the beast king and the elf king. The cause of the huge crack remains still a mystery. Anyway, the forest area was divided by the cracks. As a result, the beastmen will call the ocean of the great tree of Barrafo dominated by elves and dark elves on the right side of the ocean, and the large tree sea of Phils ruled by the beastmen on the left.
"You were surprised, weren"t you? Well, when I told the beast king about this country, he said he wanted the world tree. If we bring back even one branch of the world tree, we can get a certain position among the beastmen"
"Did you tell the Beast King about the world tree?"
Even though they abandoned the Nameless kingdom, the ratman stares at the cat man who easily leaked the secrets of the country that he had taken care of until then with unbelievable eyes.
"I told you. What"s wrong with that? It"s better than that. Apparently, I couldn"t cross the barrier without that plate, so I was in trouble. With your plate, I could pa.s.s through. Isn"t it possible? Or can you help me?"
"Don"t be kidding! Who will help f.u.c.king guys like you!!"
"I don"t think it"s a bad story. Can you talk to the Beast King from me? If you really want to say that, you don"t recognize Satou as a king, right?"
Beastmen, including the murderous ratman, stand upright. It wasn"t because they hit the nail. Their heads went blank because of their anger.
"Hold your sword"
The ratman slowly pulls out the sword on his waist without looking away from the catman.
"Ah?"
"Do you want to die as it is?"
"Kuuku. What are you angry about? From a while ago, what was that att.i.tude? You look great even though you´re weaker than me"
When the ratman holds his sword without answering, the catman shrugs his shoulders as before and smiles at his companions as if to make a fool of his opponent. Even if they are all beastmen, there is a big difference in their fighting power between cats and rats. Friends who know it smile in the same way.
"Okay, okay. If I win instead, give me the plate obediently"
The catman pulled out the two shortswords on his waist and set up and attacked with a single jump. When the fight was over in an instant, the catman smiled with a triumphant smile. But――
"Gya......!?"
While the beastmen watched over the fight, the catman rolled on the ground. This is the third time.
"H, How!? You......you"ve never beat me! And yet......and yet!! Why am I losing!?"
The catman didn"t even think that he would lose.
"Why? When did you talk about it! I"ve been training to help the king even after your ungratefulness. I can"t afford to lose to someone like you!!"
"Wa......Wait――de, gahaa!?"
The sword of the ratman pierces the neck of the catman. The catman grabs the sword stuck in his neck in an attempt to stop the blood spurting out, but as the ratman puts more effort into it, the sword is buried deeper in his neck. I will go.
"H, Hey!? He lost!"
"Ridiculous! Why is it a rat......"
"You guys! Who are we――guaaa!?"
"Wait!! The Beast King silent――gyaaaaaaa......!!"
Those around attack the remaining four beastmen. In a blink of an eye, two beastmen stop breathing. When the other two also seemed to be only a matter of time――
"Oops, that"s it"
A black panther beast man who suddenly appeared waits for them. Before they knew it, they were surrounded by men in the same costume around the rocky area.
"He, Hehee....... It seems that there is a guy who understands the story a little. Yes, we are the messengers of the Beast King! Such a action――gupee!?"
The back fist released by the black panther beastman digs into the enemy beastman"s face.
"Are you the Beast King? What is the Beast King? The one who didn"t do anything when we were in trouble shouldn"t talk about the Beast King in a big way"
The black panther beastman curses at the fainted beastman while waving his b.l.o.o.d.y fist.
"D, Don"t be kidding!"
The remaining one tried to escape, but his hand was grabbed by a male beastman wearing a hood.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, let go!!"
The beastman whose hand was grabbed rampages. The arm that"s swung at that time hits the face and the hood comes off. As soon as he sees that face, the male beastman man――
"M, Mo, Monster!!"
"Who is a monster"
An iron mallet was swung down to the face of the male beastman.
"Kekee. You"re a monster"
The black panther beastman replies.
"Thanks to the king, I still have a face that I can see"
Re-covering the hood that fell to the ground, the beastman called a monster hides his face again.
"Then it"s ugly. Oops, don"t stare at me with such a scary look. I"m not going to pick another fight with you. You didn"t kill him, right?"
"No, he is not dead because I"ve adjusted it......"
"Hey, I hope so. Master Galgo, please be firm"
"Sol, don"t you guys mess around with small things?"
The black panther beastman called Sol holds the two beastmen who have fainted while cracking jokes 「Heihei」.
"Wait"
"Ahh? What?"
The ratman stops Sol.
"Will the Zero Corps......come out from the side and steal our prey?"
"Hey, stop calling that Zero Corps! Don"t let us join the sissy army without permission"
Sol barks with his fangs exposed.
"If you complain, I will tell the general"
"Don"t be with the guys who easily shake their tails because they lost once or twice like you guys"
"I challenged the general four times"
"Huhh. You"ll be proud. We"ve lost dozens of times, but no one has broken our hearts!"
Sol and the ratman glares at each other.
"Don"t fight you good for nothings"
"Tsk. Why, is master Galgo on your side?"
"What are you going to do when your friends fight each other? Hey. Are these beastmen really messengers of the beast king? How much Nameless information did they leaked? I"m in trouble if I don"t talk to them. Can I pick them up here?"
Can the ratman who was bullish on Sol not appear strongly in Galgo? He is reluctant, but agrees to hand them over.
"Well, I promise they"ll be waiting for their deaths, good for nothing"
That said, Galgo and the rest disappeared from the rocks in no time.
