Chapter 67: A joint front with my?classmates.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“Then, what are you going to do!? They have an army of one million undead. There’s no way for you to somehow deal with them!”
The king said something but without replying to him I addressed the other nobles.
The other nobles have their own territory and population to govern and hold influence.
Now that I have become a king the former king is no more than an ordinary person.
“I start the war council as Warm’s King. The army of dead will reach this country the day after tomorrow. We have no time for useless arguments…”
“Umu…”
“True that our time is precious. There is no choice other than to conceive strategies under the temporary new King.”
The nobles began to say that and were readying to discuss.
“You bastards!? And you guys call yourselves proud nobles of Warms!? I didn’t approve it! I will certainly never….”
“You’re noisy! Who has approve here of who? Throw him out!”
With those words several guardsmen began to bind the king’s arms and to put a gag on his mouth.
“You bastards, do you think later you’ll… ugu!? Ugu!?”
“Now, let’s begin the war council. And since he’s noisy take him somewhere else.”
“Please excuse us, former king. But this country right now is in a huge incident. Do forgive us.”
From a sidelong glance the former king was being taken out and I was preparing the war council.
I prepared a large improvised table and things like a map, number of soldiers, enemies position, their number, weapons and the variety of monsters are to be set up.
“Is this the full number and variety of our enemy?”
“Yeah. That’s the number according to the scouts.”
The captain of scouts said so.
“Fumu.”
I tilted my head a bit.
“Ehm, is there anything strange?”
“What do you think?”
The captain replied back.
“Yeah. The earth is completely filled with the dead. Goblins, worms, skeletons, gorgons, werewolves, Dullahans. Those make the one million. After trampling down the ground there’s not even a shadow of living beings. Truly, the earth is covered by death.”
“I see.”
I nodded.
It’s an accurate report.
As I thought something is strange 《???????》.
It seems I cannot be anything other than be prepared.
I gave several instructions stealthily.
“Now, after this.”
I opened my mouth to give one more instruction.
“Oi, Miyamoto wake up!”
At my voice and slapping his cheeks my classmate Miyamoto woke up from his sleep.
At any rate we have no time.
Besides these guys were the first ones to attack.
I subdued them in self-defence though honestly speaking obstructing the saviour should be a major crime. It wouldn’t be wrong to kill them either.
A lot of precious time was wasted.
It’s fine if I think like him paying his debt.
Fu, I’m lenient too much.
While thinking that I laughed at myself.
“It hurts!? You bastard, how dare you…”
“Be quiet. I’ll make it so that you’ll never be able to open your mouth ever again.”
“Ugu!?”
Since there was no time I chose a bit rough method.
I pushed Miyamoto’s face to the ground.
I’m having gross feelings about closing his mouth with my hand but there’s nothing else. Besides, since the country’s fate is hanging there’s no time to spare with this guy’s useless chatter.
“Stop fooling around and be quiet. Do you intend to send this country to its death!? If you understand what I’m saying then tap two times on the ground.”
“Uguuu, Mashhashuguu”
Haa, I sighed.
“In that case I should really kill you.”
I said so and I pressed Miyamoto on the ground even stronger.
“Gyaaa”
He trapped frantically on the ground.
I’ll forgive him.
“Just listen. You can probably understand that the country is in a crisis too. In that case then you should know how to behave towards me, right?”
On my words Miyamoto was breathing heavily and yelled.
“What do you mean!?”
“That’s decided.”
I said it like making fun of him.
“I’m saying I’ll protect you guys with my skill ‘Protect [Improvised]’. We’re going to be in a joint front.”
“Wha!?”
He raised a surprised voice from his heart on my words.
“Who the hell needs your support! We’ll protect this country with our own strength!”
“That’s right!”
“We don’t need Masatsugu’s help!”
The rest of the fainted classmates began to wake up and join the war council.
Truthfully speaking,It was better when you guys were asleep.
I thought Miyamoto was the only hopeless idiot but looks like the rest of the classmates were the same.
I sighed.
“You guys are misunderstanding something…”
I spoke surprised from the bottom of my heart.
“What misunderstanding! Your help is only a hindrance! With my holy sword and holy protection…”
“That’s why I’m saying 《??????》 you’re misunderstanding.”
“Wha!?”
“You guys have no alternatives. This is a king’s order and there is no discussion. So understand your positions. You’re just soldiers of Warm’s kingdom. You have no rights to refuse my order or to refuse the assault.”
I commanded 《Command》my classmates who were at loss of words and informed the clear difference of our positions.
Good grief, it’s kind of sad that I have to inform them of obvious things.
“Command you say… But we were brought here against our will.”
“That’s so! We are the victims! Why do we have to accept such an unreasonable order!?”
“That’s the result of you people not leaving the castle.”
“Wha!?”
One person from the classmates screamed.
What are the victims you speak of.
No matter the situation, the current situation was chosen by them.
Better to be put, these guys who were the so called heroes did as they please and drinking indulgence from the country.
I know this from the report of Silvy.
In the city there were people with violent tendencies that couldn’t think nothing but to do crimes.
Obviously, we were summoned to this world from our peaceful country Japan.
I won’t deny there is some pity.
On the other side, there were people like me who left the castle out of their own will.
Taking this all into account, then this current situation was brought by all of their naive thoughts.
“Now, do you understand? Stop acting like little children. You guys are my subordinates. Listen to my directions as obedient soldiers.”
“Gugugu, but listening to you bastard…”
Miyamoto was grating his teeth.
It’s a wonder why you hold so much hostility to me…
“Even if I forgive you, don’t think the surrounding people will forgive you.”
“What?!”
Miyamoto raised a surprised voice.
“Miyamoto! Enough fooling and listen to Masatsugu’s order! If you don’t listen to him then it will be death penalty!”
An angry voice came from a noble.
