Chapter 81:?Aegis.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
That day, when the Warm’s citizens looked in the sky they felt despair.
Because huge flying monsters were filling the sky like dragons and wyverns.
Their numbers were uncountable to the point where they bloated out the light of the sun.
Looking at their numbers gush forth in swarms they thought it was like a joke but soon realized that the end was coming.
And before long the monsters began diving from the sky.
Where could they run, rather was there a place they could run to?
Nobody could open their mouth to talk.
The reason is because the monsters were covering multiple sides of sky.
Running away from the air-raid was no longer possible.
The citizens had no other choice other than to look in despair behind their closed curtains.
Bekii!
Dogo!
Gushaaan!
“He?”
“Eh?”
“We’re safe. But, why… Uwaaaaaaa!”
The citizens asked a question about their safety and then were startled.
But, their screams were not of pain or fear of death.
“Why?”
“How?’
“The sky in an instant became red?”
“No, no… Wait, that’s the dragon’s blood.”
Infront of their eyes something unusual was happening… No, to them it was no different than the sky opening up.
The bloodied dragons were taking flight again.
But, before they could soar again with their wings they get encased in ice.
“What just happened?”
The Warm’s citizens were all surprised.
This later was known as a miracle of the new King.
At any rate with the Aegis the enemy’s trump card has been sealed.
The enemy’s air force has been nearly eradicated.
“Amazing…”
“This is King Masatsugu’s doing…’
As expected, even the Anti-Masatsugu faction nobles leaked out surprised voices involuntarily.
I looked at this scene with calm.
“Sigh. You guys are really carefree bunch.”
I shrugged my shoulders in amazement.
“Naturally, we’ve managed to wipe out their air-force by 99%!”
“That’s right! Them touching the Aegis is same as death! When the dragons descended they were met with an unexpected wall! They’ve broken their necks and took fatal damage! And then unable to move they get frozen one by one. Our victory has been cemented.”
“I understand that much.”
I calmly informed them.
“In the first place that was the purpose of building the Aegis. So that enemies nor allies can see it. So that when they crash into it, they’ll never return.”
“Ooh…”
“So you’ve foreseen this from the very start…”
“That’s what I said.”
“I made the new throne room on the highest floor so it would be much more closer to the main battlefield.”
“Amazing…”
:Absurd, so much…”
It seems it was about how well my tactics have fared.
I should clearly tell them though.
“All of this till now was just the opening act.”
“Ha?”
“Eh?”
They were looking blankly.
As I thought, perhaps they didn’t understand.
“I just said it, close to the main battlefield.”
“Ha, haa. It wasn’t about fending off the current dragon raid?”
I simply laughed.
“What are you talking about. The main act starts from now. The reason Lucia and Laare are prepared and I got up is for none other to get on top of the Aegis and fight the main leader.”
“The enemy’s leader!?”
“Who’s that!?”
The nobles got surprised.
They’ve gotten from knowing the battles trend was settled.
If the battles were going to be easy, then I would’ve given the throne.
“Don’t you lot feel it? Certainly, small fish were almost wiped out.The rest is to support the soldiers. But, the enemy’s boss is in full health… This is…”
I hesitated to continue.
“What happened?”
Meja became worried and asked.
Everything went as I calculated until now but this is the first time I’ve hesitated to say something like this.
I see, the throne is trouble as I thought.
With just one expression the nobles are controlled and the country’s fate is decided.
This work is not suited for someone free-spirited like me.
I began to talk while thinking that.
“The boss is healthy and his strength is rising exceptionally. 1000 times… No, perhaps 1 million times?”
“1 million!?”
“Hahahaha! That’s too absurd! Your jokes are going too far, my King!”
They were surprised and were laughing like they didn’t believe me.
“Idiot! Do you think in this predicament I would be telling boring jokes!? Wisen up!”
“Hii!”
“Forgive me, king!”
My voice echoed loudly in the throne room.
Both factions got unsettled.
Sigh, useless conversations are not needed now.
While reflecting on my immaturity I returned the tone of my voice to normal.
“Please excuse me. I got too worked up.”
“It’s nothing…”
“There’s an important battle in the foretelling the trend of this Kingdom. It’s only natural for King Masatsugu’s dread. But, who’s this existence that aroused such emotions…”
I nodded.
And then
“It’s a person you know well. That person has helped the enemy. Probably Whikram… No, he was originally supposed to use his strength as hero for us but got manipulated by the Evil God’s power.”
“Hero!?”
“Who’s that person!?”
“Miyamoto, no, should I even say Miyamoto? First he was the hero from different world, now he’s demon Miyamoto who has fallen into the enemy’s hand.”
