Chapter 64: Balk’s empire?Invasion.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
It was a day when the morning glow was with a pleasant parky air.
Abruptly an overwhelmingly large army of dead was marching on the mountain village route.
They didn’t pay any notice to the frightened farmers and animals and were like dolls which were given orders to destroy and they found something in their direction of moving and leaped and disappeared without a trace.
No, rather they pulled their companions to them and became a large army funeral procession.
That large army took the path towards the certain facility.
“It’s terrible, Masatsugu-sama!! Abruptly a declaration of war came from the Balk Empire!”
The guild master Golan rushed to the orphanage and said that.
It finally came.
Besides, there hasn’t been more than a few days since we came back from the mountain but Whikram is already moving.
The orphan girls also held their breaths in anxiety.
From the story his army is one million to the point the ground can be filled.
From the report of Silvy’s surveillance the army consisted only of the dead.
It seems Whikram has given up on covering it anymore guessing that I’ve noticed the Balk Empire has been taken over.
“How will the Warms Kingdom move towards the war declaration? As the guild, do you know something?”
Golan had a vacant face then shook his head to my question.
And then
“No. The declaration of war is against the orphanage is what the Balk Empire claims.”
He said it haggardly.
“Eh, declaration of war to this orphanage?”
I was surprised at this unprecedented event while he was nodding his head countless times.
“It’s as you say. To be more precise, Masatsugu-sama is the target of the declaration of war.”
He said that.
“A whole country declaring war on an individual…”
“Sending one million dead soldiers to go against just Masatsugu-dono.”
“Master, this is too amazing…”
The girls also said things like that.
“But, that’s a war never heard before.”
“Yeah. Thanks to it the upper management of the Kingdom has fallen in turmoil and faculties have been stopped temporarily. Well, it’s a one million army after all. It’s almost like a myth.”
Fumu, so it’s my fault…
At any rate, I wish they would stop. I don’t want to stand more than I would need to.
“But, what will you do Masatsugu-sama? As expected the army is one million undead troops so…”
Golan had a grim expression.
The girls were also showing anxiety.
But, I shook my head.
“I think that I’ll manage it somehow?”
And said that.
“Eh!?”
I was calm compared to the surprised Golan.
“The main point is the quality of the army. If the one million is consisted out of zombies and skeleton’s then it’s not like we can’t do anything about them.”
I said that and I thought profoundly.
“Naturally even if I fought the one million army I won’t lose but the area around the orphanage will suffer a lot of damage. There’s no point in it. That’s why for defense other soldiers are needed… How many can come from the guild?”
“Hmm, If we gather up everyone I can say around 500?”
500 vs one million. That’s a very harsh number. You’ll lose even if you gather soldiers that are a match for thousand.
“Fuumu, is that so. Nothing much to be done then…”
“Excuse me for my rudeness. To draw them here, I’ll have to prepare…”
“No problem, besides I have a purpose concerning the soldiers.”
“Eh!? Hya, there’s a purpose in that number of soldiers going against the one million army of the dead?”
“Aah, that’s so. Well, just leave this matter to me.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
“Leaving that aside, the situation concerning the Warms Kingdom is a problem. It falling to chaos is to be of concern. Allright, time to set it right.”
I said so and stood up.
“Oi, you bastard stop right there!”
“Did you not hear me say wait there!?”
Me, the orphan and girls arrived at the nostalgic gates of the royal castle but arrogant guards were rushing here with angry voices and eyes like they were looking down on us.
And then they were obstructing my path with an indication that they’ll draw their swords at any point.
“What’s your intent? This is not a place for somebody like you of low-birth to enter!”
“If you get any closer, you’ll head will fly.”
They declared such dangerous things.
It seems they are intent on not letting us enter the castle.
But, unfortunately for them I have no interest in playing with them.
Even at this time the Balk’s Empire dead army marches here.
“I’m sorry I have no time to deal with underlings. It’s pitiable but even if I told the reason there’s no point and it’s a waste of time. Do you understand me now? Now that you do, could you step aside? You’re a hindrance since earlier.”
I politely refused the guardsman check and began walking normally.
But. the soldiers faces became red.
“Don’t mess with us!”
“You bastard won’t be pardoned!”
They yelled and closed the distance between us. And then they grabbed me like a tackle to seize me.
But,
“What’s this!?’
“Why won’t he move!?”
The guardsmen were screaming while clinging to me.
It may have looked like that but in fact they were putting all their strength to somehow move me.
But, my skill *Protect [Improvised]* activated and naturally I was immovable.
“Sigh, what to do…”
I said that and without shaking them off I just continued walking.
Because of that, the soldiers who were clinging to me got dragged by me.
“Impossible!? What the hell is this!? Unbelievable!”
“Damn it! Stop!”
I went through the Warms castle with the two soldiers being dragged by me without stopping at their painful screaming.
Fuumu, so this is the inside of the castle. The garden is pretty wide.
I felt a carefree impression.
“Damn it, damn it…”
“We won’t for entering the castle…”
The guardsmen were groaning regrettably.
“N? You guys were still here? Your presence is so thin I couldn’t notice you guys. But if you don’t get away from me soon it’ll be suffocating.”
I said that and grabbed their heads and threw them lightly.
When I did so, one screamed and fell into the pond the other one plunged entirely in the rearing animal pen.
