My Reincarnation As A Chicken

Chapter 210 A Day In Atlantis

The royal feast was completely ruined with absolutely no one winning that day. No one lost either so I guess there wasn’t much of a problem there. They decided to end the festivities with no sort of resurgence. That was fine by me who now wanted nothing to do but sleep for the remaining year.

Unfortunately for me, Daxia wanted to fight so I spent that day running away and hiding from her. Speaking of Daxia, turns out she and the princess were scheming something in the background. I wasn’t sure what, but the two officially declared an alliance today.

Everyone was surprised, but she said we were to keep it under wraps and were anyone to ask, Nanek was the initiator of the contract. So, currently, Atlantis and SharkFang were allied kingdoms, leaving the Exsuole Empire to be the only ostracized group now.

The moment they had Daxia on their side, Atlantis was already capable of overwhelming Exsuole empire. At that point, Exsuole would most likely think twice before attempting another invasion. That was probably the strategy she was going for. Then again, I couldn’t think exactly the way she was thinking.

Apparently, most of what happened wasn’t according to the princess’ plan, meaning that crazy woman from yesterday – who turned out to be the Chief Priestess of the Sea Goddess Temple – managed to outsmart the princess and put her in a bad mood. Why she did all of that, I wasn’t sure, but her dialogue was weird and motives were even weirder.

This is why I didn’t want to mess with religion and politics. It always ends up being some load of bullshit in the end and I had zero interests in having problems.

Yokino came to me asking what it was I wanted to talk to her about. I wasn’t sure what she was talking about, so I just ignored her and went to focus on other things such as questioning the Grand Court Mage. It took me several times knocking on his door before he came out. It was even scarier because of that thing in the darkness that wouldn’t stop looking at me.

Eventually, he let me in and there, I found that he was busily scribbling. I thought he was done before the feast, but according to him, he was putting up several other measures for peeking on Fafnir and finding his exact location.

I offered to help him out, but he turned me down and forcefully removed me from his room. The rest of the day was spent with me going around looking for food while avoiding Daxia.

It was a pretty hectic day overall for me.

Day 56

When the king woke up, I was informed he wanted to personally thank me for my intervention.

Turns out the king has a pretty good personality unlike a certain someone. He thanked me and prepared a banquet for me. I hadn’t eaten in quite a while so seeing all the food made my mouth water.

Yokino, Kawaii and Daxia were also invited to come eat. Daxia refused the king and decided to stay in the quarters the princess provided for her. The others on the other hand decided to join me and we enjoyed the feast.

My only issue was that the more I ate, the hungrier I got.

During the meal, the king started to talk to me about some national issues. Apparently, he heard from the princess that I have a powerful nation with over 20,000 soldiers.

I coughed and looked at Yokino who must have lied. She looked away and decided to ignore my glare. I wanted to tell the king that it was a mistake, but he went off and continued speaking of talks of an alliance between my imaginary nation and his.

After his proposition, I was about to tell him the truth, but he told me that he had already been informed of my issue on the surface. He gave me a piece of advice.

“It’s good to want to do as you wish, but as leader, you have to think about the people looking up to you over your own wants. Join forces with Atlantis. I promise you won’t regret it.”

Any how I tried to look at it, he just looked like a shady drug dealer offering me something he knew would cause me lots of problems. He wouldn’t stop bothering me till I agreed and let him have his way.

He ordered for more food and we feasted non-stop, till I got mentally tired of eating and just decided to walk away and go check up on Daxia. It was my worst mistake of the day as she decided that she’d hunt me down so we fight. It ended up with her chasing me throughout the castle and me having to teleport far way to where the baby kraken was.

Once I got there, he also wanted to play with me. I ended having to entertain him and name him. To him, the beast so big and dangerous that he had to reside in possibly the most dangerous part of the sea, I named him Tulu.

That took a massive amount of 3000 mana. Well, given my reserves, it wasn’t really an amount to complain about. I wasn’t too surprised by that either given how things had been going. After that, I had practically sealed of the deal and Tulu was officially my second familiar.

To think I jumped straight from Amethyst to Tulu. Amethyst chastised me after finding out that I named Tulu, saying she’d fight me if I returned. I couldn’t stop myself from laughing at her. The thought of trolling her with Tulu when I returned gave me some joy.

I didn’t do the [Sacred Event] out of fear of having to face more of Tulu’s older siblings. I needed to get stronger before I could ever do that. Maybe get myself to A rank stat wise while making sure my proper use of skills was approximately S rank like Bastien and others.

After talking to Tulu for a while and finding out a bit about his family, I returned to Atlantis where Daxia grabbed me finally. I’d lost and had steeled myself to fight her. In truth I was going to teleport to the surface and rest there till Garand had some news.

Daxia explained to me that she had realised I was too weak for her to fight right now. I was honestly excited by her words till she told me she was going to train me. For that moment of confusion, I was terrified. She later on clarified for me.

We were going to explore the Ancient Atlantean Tomb, curtesy of the princess giving us permission to do so. I sceptical about it at first since it was the princess that told us to go ahead, but apparently, no matter who it was, unless a royal family member gave the seal of approval, the tomb wouldn’t allow anyone to enter.

Somehow, I doubted that restriction included Daxia who broke every single rule there was.

Basically, I was going to spend the next day training in a dungeon.

Exsuole Empire, New Angel City

On the Annual Yorul Feast Day, the army of 12,000 that had spent several days marching towards Atlantis now floated above their very own capital city. Most of them had expressionless faces as they looked down on the city.

Under normal circumstances, they would be chastised for not completing their mission. This time was different however, given how things were actually playing out. Of course, most of them were shocked when their general gave them their actual military commands a day before they could go to Yorul.

Some were angry and with good reason. If it was for this, they shouldn’t have left the city in the first place. They would have happily followed their general’s orders, especially when it came to this particular matter. Those that were angry felt betrayed and distrusted. Still, for this day, they would keep that feeling to themselves.

Angel City, where most of them were born and raised, normally the pinnacle of cosmopolitan unity, involving all the sentient races while also buying the most bustling kingdom ever, was now a desolate land with broken down buildings and explosions going off.

The citizens had been evacuated while they weren’t around. It made enough sense that they had been sent out to avoid drawing too much attention to the people being snuck out of the city, but making them suffer for so long was cruel of their general.

Now, all their suffering would pay off. They were finally getting rid of their useless government. It was coup, not that this country wasn’t used to it. There had been several coups over the years, starting from their founder. He had been betrayed because of his inability to see the contempt growing from his people. The second leader had been betrayed because rather than focusing on progress, he was wasting time on every single citizen’s well-being. The third leader was a selfish man who lied to the people for years while living a very expensive life.

Exsuole had seen a good number of terrible leaders, so another coup was nothing new. What made this time strange was the level of detail put into it. The one to enact it was clearly meticulous, because he had created multiple distractions to ensure the council members would not see it coming.

There were many steps to his plan and all of which had been completed successfully, the most important was making sure Atlantis wouldn’t have the time to focus on Exsuole during this sensitive period.

The army of 12,000 strong would simply need to swoop in and help him finish the coup today.

Capturing Atlantis? That could always be done later. In fact, it would only be easier when Exsuole was at its highest point ever, so he would be bidding his time till then, building and restructuring. Taking out the moles and executing anyone who would dare to bring harm to his nation.

<A/N: Little detail. Tori pronounces Tulu as Turu, but for you to get where she got the name from I changed. That's it for the day, I guess. XD we're officially done with this arc even though Tori hasn't gotten what she came for yet.
