"Well, this meaningless war game is no longer necessary, replaced by a new game... Or maybe it's an agreement between me and Artexiu."

Annan nodded and said so.

"...Artsius...the creator of the Flügel...God of War...the strongest of the planet..."

Hubby, who was listening on the sidelines, briefly explained the identity of Arteo to Rick.

"Hey, that's the strongest, doesn't it sound like something we're qualified to participate in?!"

Rick's eyes widened, and he shouted exaggeratedly.

"Qualification has nothing to do with strength. Anyway, in front of the strongest, everything is weak."

Annan spread out his hands and said with a smile, "If you want to end the war, Artois is the last enemy, and you have no choice."

"But the strength gap is too big, right?"

Rick frowned and said with a bitter face.

"But the probability of winning is not zero. In probability, anything is possible, even if it is infinitesimal."

Annan said calmly and calmly, without any intention of joking, "This is a game where the weakest defeats the strongest. You and I are both weak players, and the strongest one is the last big boss."

"There is no guarantee in this game. You may die, and I may lose, but I still bet that you can defeat the strongest, and I bet that I can defeat the strongest."

"As for the rewards for clearing the game - of course, the end of the war, and a world you want."

Annan finished speaking in one breath, and extended his right hand to Rick.

"Now, make a choice, do you want to accept this game?"

"You don't have any guarantees. I must be crazy to choose to accept the game, but..."

Rick smiled bitterly and looked at the girl standing beside him. Those red eyes made him make up his mind.

"The world is already crazy, and it's not worse than me."

He said nonchalantly, with a childlike innocent and bold smile, and stretched out his right hand.

Isn't it about challenging the world!

He is a veteran player who has survived in this bad game for more than ten years, how could he not participate in such things as customs clearance!

Chapter 190 Good!

Not long after returning from the elves ruins.

"Rick! The big thing is bad! Six dragons were caught from the telescope, and a large number of goblin fleets are coming here!"

Coming down the stairs, Kron, who was holding the measuring device, paled in shock.

"The route of travel is North North West and North East East! If there is a conflict like this, the nine miles in the east will become a battlefield!!"

The sound of her alarm resounded throughout the settlement, and the moment of tranquility ended.

Rick efficiently directed the entire retreat, instructing the food and luggage to be taken away.

At the same time, Rick, Hubby, and Kron calculated the range of influence of the battle in half a quarter.

From the 28 locations selected by the five-year survey, a suitable evacuation location is determined.

Eight hours before the battle, complete evacuation preparations and start moving.

Then, when it's all done...

There were nearly [-] residents in the settlement, and all of them saw their residences being swallowed up and destroyed by light.

The number of deaths was less than 200 people, all of whom were still directing the evacuation until the end.

Rationally.

With such a large-scale battle happening near the settlement, such a disaster is already very small.

However, looking at the settlement that evaporated along with the rocky mountain from the high platform, people sobbed and cried.

- Of course that is.

Kron clenched his fists tightly, shaking with anger.

If you lose your home, you just need to build it again—in theory, that's true.

Although he also lost the telescope he worked so hard to repair, there was nothing he could do.

Documents, maps, measuring instruments, and other important items were all moved out smoothly, but...

But - so what? !

It's not just tangible things that matter.

In order to maintain the countless labors and sacrifices accumulated in that settlement, the emotions of people living there today, the wishes and prayers entrusted by the predecessors.

All of these things disappeared the moment the settlement was destroyed.

And it's probably just because of stray bullets, in the absence of malicious intent, it was uselessly destroyed.

People who don't cry are weird, and people who don't feel frustrated are crazy.

The life is indeed recovered, but what will I do with this life in the future?

Experience the same thing again?

I have to make sacrifices, swallow so many tears, bite my lips, and endure a sad and miserable experience—

And then be wiped out again like dust swept away at will?

When the tears that could no longer be held back were on the verge of bursting out of his eyes, Kelong's vision reflected his younger brother's back.

"Rick...? Rick, Rick!!"

He and Hubby sat on the ground side by side, with their hands on their knees, and Kelong immediately ran towards the trembling back.

"Rick, cheer up! With so many surviving, you've done your best! It's not your fault!"

"I can't do it anymore, I've reached my limit."

Rick didn't react at all, the whole person still sat in the same place, and the voice of loss of emotion seemed more desperate than anyone else.

"Including me, there are too many people's hard work in this settlement, and my heart went away the moment it was destroyed. Maybe there will be no more joys and sorrows in this life."

The blow of the destruction of the settlement was too heavy for Rick, the leader, not to mention that he had been forcing himself and closing his heart, and now he was finally overwhelmed.

can't go on like this...

Klong admonished himself like this, and he made up his mind when he looked at Rick, who was lost.

She can no longer rely on her brother and make him bear a heavy burden... From now on—

"Rick, just rest! Okay? Next, let my sister take over."

Then—

"--Great!"

Rick, who was still heartbroken a moment ago, jumped up from the ground with a treacherous smile on his face.

"Hubby, has the verbal agreement been recorded?"

"...one word...not missing..."

The figure of Hubby appeared at the door, and the pen and paper in his hand faithfully recorded the words of Klong just now.

"—Huh? Strange, strange? Li, Rick... little brother?"

Perhaps it was the woman's intuition, and Kron reflexively took a step back at his sudden change.

Don't try to escape!

Rick held her hand tightly, so that she couldn't help but let out a groan of "Hey~!"

"So Kelong, from today onwards, you will be the leader of the settlement, please!"

"—Ah, eh, eh...?"

With a smile on his face, Rick shoved the map to the dull-faced Kron, then straightened his back and stood up.

"This is the location of the new settlement, and it will be safe as long as you go through the underground from the horizontal hole over there. Although it is somewhat messy, it will be able to live in right away. I decided to take this into consideration when I ran for my life."

Rick said so, and exchanged a knowing look with Hubby who was standing beside him.

Then, seeing his younger brother walking in the opposite direction with a smile on his face, Klong, who finally recovered from a blank state of mind, shouted:

"Wait, wait a minute, Rick! Without you, whether it's me or the settlement—!"

In any case, Rick is the one trusted by everyone. He firmly believes that he can always lead people out of desperation. If his brother is not there, no one can replace him.

Cron shouted like a cry, but the response he got was—

"No, it'll be fine with Kron. Because next - no one will die."

"……what?"

"Don't worry, I will contact you at the right time. If it's Kron, I can also hand over everyone to you with peace of mind."

After Rick finished speaking, he gradually walked away, and Klong stared blankly at his back.

"...Rick..."

Kron called his name, but when he turned around, it wasn't the "Rick" he knew.

- No, no, I know him myself.

That appearance was the "Rick" when they first met.

——There is unfathomable heat in his eyes, but the boy who keeps his heart closed.

Kron was convinced that the person who pried the lock on the heart was the girl walking beside him——Hubby.

Does this mean that if you have a woman, you don't want your sister? It's really impossible to take him...

Kron sighed deeply and softly.

Although she expected to get an unbelievable answer, she still put a smile on her face and asked Rick.

"—Hey—Rick—do you two have any big plans—?"

Just like that, the answer was as expected.No, no, it was more than she expected—
