“Huh? Ohh? I have never done anything like that before-”
“I will tell you to call the volunteers and let them know, so you just have to do it. Did you level up a bit?”
Kijung, who suddenly received the instructions, was confused, but Ram Hwayeon was Ram Hwayeon. In this aspect, it was truly an army of thousands. Additionally, there was also Bottleneck that would repair walls and build water-based defenses!
“Bottleneck-ajussi, I will leave the quick development of the city’s defenses to you. Please come up with an idea to not only defend against the invasion of enemies but also automatically trigger an alarm when approaching a certain distance within the city radius.”
“Do you think that is easy?!”
“It’s not easy, so only Bottleneck-ajussi can do it. You are Gaza City’s Chief Engineer.”
“Cough……. I mean, still-”
“Cheer up. You just saw it, right? If you put your mind to it, oh?! I’ll get you a lot of good minerals from the dragon lair.”
‘Although I wonder if Blaugrun will allow it.’
The last remark Leeha omitted was the most important, but Bottleneck, who had already seen Blaugrun’s performance, had no choice but to nod again and go for Leeha’s tricks.
“Good. I will take responsibility for that.”
“Okay! Then I will go to the Holy City! Blaugrun-ssi, here!”
Leeha gave each of the people he could trust 100% instructions and immediately activated his crystal ball. The first place he went to before going to Ezwen was, of course, the capital, to the Musket Academy.
“What did you just say?”
“Please have them leave, Your Holiness.”
Browless, who was kneeling in front of the pope, quietly opened his mouth. Of course, Leeha was beside Browless.
Leeha was appointed as the lord of Gaza City, the invasion of the castle by the Demon King’s agents, which included a large number of humans, and even the fact that someone with a continental information network might be on the side of the Demon King’s army, even though they were unseen. As soon as Leeha made a report to Browless, Browless brought him to the Holy City Ezwen.
“You know who’s around me, don’t you?”
“Of course. They are Cardinals and other faithful servants who spread the love of God, I ask if you know that as well.”
The Pope had a somewhat perplexed expression on his face. However, he couldn’t refuse to listen to Browless’ request.
‘It wouldn’t have been possible if I was the one who told him.’
As a user, Leeha wasn’t very familiar with the Holy City, and he wasn’t in a position to say anything to the NPC Pope yet. In fact, Leeha did not turn off the ‘dignity’ buff, but since entering the Vatican, no one has bowed to him.
“It’s okay, Your Holiness. If it’s the hero Browless, it certainly means something. We will go out.”
“Uh.”
Phew.
The Pope nodded, and the cardinal and other high-ranking clergymen in the audience room all vacated the room.
After bowing politely to the departing personnel, Browless reported to the Pope what happened to Leeha.
“Shouldn’t we conduct a full-scale search? Are you talking about that now, Browless?”
“Yes. At this point in time when the peace treaty has been signed, I feel sorry, but it couldn’t be helped.”
“Well, who is dealing with information so carefully?”
The Pope looked at Leeha while questioning Browless.
Of course, Browless, who had heard all the stories, did not stop Leeha. Leeha opened his mouth when he saw the NPC who wanted an answer from the person who experienced it.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
“That’s right. Besides, it is unknown whether the person handling the information actually belongs to the Demon King’s Army.”
“Ho! Ho!! Just…… are you suggesting this only on speculations and assumptions? It’s not easy to search individually, and what if more damage happens-”
“So that is what I would like to propose, Pope-nim. No, Your Holiness, the Pope.”
Leeha cut off the Pope.
It might have been a bit rude, but the Pope didn’t change his expression.
“What is it? How are you going to deal with the Demon King’s army with Blue Beard and even humans?.”
“……It is to form a small elite subjugation team. A large number of people cannot move simultaneously. It is also dangerous to spread official letters to each country in the name of the Pope. As I said, we still don’t know where the enemy that could steal our information is. In the end, the best answer is to limit it to a small number of people that can be trusted.”
“This is a ridiculous proposition. Even if we have the war heroes of the 2nd human-demon war, we cannot stop the Demon King’s army with a few elite soldiers. Now, only Bluebeard is active, but who knows how things will change. What if Bluebeard had already revived or awakened Gibril and Pyrot Cocri- while the ‘few elites’ are going after him? There’s no way they can handle the Demon King’s army because they are not as good as the war heroes of the Second Human-Demon War.”
“No. It’s possible.”
“What?”
“Except for Blue Beard, the Fragments of the Demon King haven’t awakened yet. If that were the case, the invasion in Gaza City couldn’t have ended just there. And since they haven’t woken up yet, we have to move first, faster, and stealthier. Before the rest of the Fragments Demon King wakes up. And before the Demon King’s army becomes active in Fibiel and Minis again.”
It was a rational thought.
The current situation was natural, and considering the Fragments of the Demon King and the Demon King’s army, Leeha’s judgment was almost consistent with the fact.
The Pope, who was troubled with a serious expression after hearing Leeha’s words, was proof of that.
Browless also didn’t stop his student’s words, and he didn’t add more either. It was because he believed in Leeha completely.
The Pope, who had been struggling for a long time,
finally spoke.
“……Can you do it?”
“Cough, huuuuu…….”
Leeha took a deep and slow breath.
He told the Pope confidently, but he didn’t know if it would be successful.
But it couldn’t be helped. Hitting the trigger was the only way to know.
“I ask you to give me the authority to form a punitive squad. I will come back as soon as possible with a group of people whom the Pope will approve of.”
As soon as they entered Gaza City, Leeha was ready to pull the trigger.
“How many nasty chemicals did they use to make a stone look like this? Is this a castle wall, or pudding?”
As one of the dwarves tried to swing the hammer, a sound was heard from behind him.
“Sprinkle the hardener first, then hammer it as you shape it, you bastard! If you just hit it, everything will be dug up!”
“Nimiral! Even if you don’t say that, I am better than you, so shut up! I am just testing it, don’t make a fuss…. You’re just a dwarf that got kicked out of Hell’s Anvil.”
“What? I am the Chief Engineer of this human city, bigger than Hell’s Anvil, arrogant dwarf, should I pull out all your whiskers to make sure you know your rank?!”
Paak-! Paak-! Paak-!
Their hands did not stop even as they shouted at each other.
The renovation of Gaza City’s walls was progressing enough to change its appearance on an hourly basis.
This was because, in addition to the masons from Gaza City, Bottleneck, who had just been appointed as the new Chief Engineer, brought several dwarves from Hell’s Anvil.
The items brought by Blaugrun were disposed of and used as an emergency budget.
“Deputy, how do we deal with this?”
“Think before you move, not after you move! Now that the restoration of the road to the market is almost over, we can dismantle this open-air market and use it as a temporary detention center! Leave the maintenance of the market building to the hairy dwarf over there!”
“Yes ma’am! Okay. As you command.”
The steward NPC ran out again with a crying look on his face.
Her ability to handle tasks was superior to that of the steward NPC, who had a good understanding of Gaza City, so it was nothing special.
“Hairy? Who’s hairy?! Be polite to the “Chief Engineer”, rude woman!”
“Heung, if that’s the case, shouldn’t you be polite, hairy dwarf? I am the ‘representative’ of Ha Leeha, the lord of the castle!”
Even in the midst of that, Bottleneck and Ram Hwayeon growled at each other.
Their characters, which did not want to lose, were being revealed. Seeing this, Kijung, couldn’t help but sigh.
“How can they still work in this atmosphere? It’s really amazing. Isn’t that right, Tale-hyung?”
“Maybe because Leeha-kun is the lord of the castle…. I think the overall atmosphere is like Leeha-kun.”
“Kikis, you mean that the features were quite distinct, but on the outside, doesn’t it look sloppy and messy?”
“Hmm. It was a rather harsh expression, but……. It cannot be denied.”
Biyemi said in a playful, piercing voice, but Tale did not deny it. As expected, the image of Leeha in their head is close to that form.
Even Kijung, who was Leeha’s cousin, did not object to the expression ‘it seems sloppy and messy’….
“Ah, let’s continue. Next! What number is it?”
In front of Byeolcho, where they were having a short conversation, there was a line of sturdy young NPCs who had seen Ram Hwayeon’s proclamation.
“Application number 63! Krat! Your main weapon is a sword and shield?!”
“Application number 64, Cheney! Your main weapon is a two-handed sword?!”
“Good. Please prepare.”
One of Byeolcho’s main missions was rebuilding the Gaza Knights.
Among the NPCs who were in critical condition, 12 were unable to get tested due to lateness.
Nearly half of the 150 members, 72 people, were killed in the raid,
so Kijung and Byeolcho needed to select and train the personnel again.
“Kikis, I don’t know if this is how our Guild master-nim will become the knight commander here. I heard the captain of the knights died too?”
“Not just the captain. It is said that all the platoon commanders of each platoon, including the vice-captain, have died…. At least, it must have meant that there were many NPCs in the Gaza Knights who were equipped not only with martial arts but also with courtesy.”
Tale nodded to Biyemi’s words.
Those with the strongest skills would have been at the forefront during the raid by the chimera and the Demon King’s army, giving the residents time to evacuate.
As a result, it became the worst form, but Tale had warm respect for the NPCs who died after fulfilling their heavy responsibility and duty and their hard work rather than the result.
“You can’t let such a non-committal attitude join such a wonderful knight order! C-come when you’re ready!”
Tale pulled out his two-handed sword and aimed it at recruit numbers 63 and 64. It was like an entrance exam that also served as a real test.
In the corner of the bustling Gaza City, a person was watching closely.
“Have we not seen Ha Leeha for several days already?”
“That’s right. Hwahong and Byeolcho, as well as the dwarves, are making a lot of noise. But I wasn’t able to see Ha Leeha”
“Isn’t he in the inner castle?.”
His current location was in a tavern in a different city, but to her, who could easily move between taverns, going inside the city was no problem.
“So far…… the NPC we got failed verification. However, seeing as Ram Hwayeon directing and moving, it is assumed that Leeha is not inside Gaza City.”
“Hmmm, no, no. We can’t be so sure. Even if Ha Leeha was present, Ram Hwayeon would be taking care of business. Well, isn’t she at least one of the few with the ability acknowledged in Middle Earth? Even I wouldn’t have been able to maintain that supply line during the national war.”
To Chiyou, Ram Hwayeon was a much more restrained presence than users obsessed with rankings and stats.
