Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect the Dungeon

‘Fooled me. ’

Choronoul said the key to the east was bitten like a giant ‘cat’.

They have us pinned down.

After all, there is a course.

She knows the route.

That's it.

It was whether or not she taught me the way.

‘I can't kill him. ’

‘You have to make me feel better. ’

Even when the body disappears, they're just happy to be free of their promises.

‘Damn, Kevin Ashton... Hints like this. ’

No, I don't.

Actually, when I think about it, I disagree.

Big, goofy wool.

Her existence is not just a hint, but the Orient itself.

I am curiously eager to teach you the way to the east.

It burns with the willingness to guide me in any way.

Moreover, if you just follow it, you will also have a huge milestone.

Could there be a guide as comfortable and reliable as this one?

"There is a condition that we must destroy his body. ’

Not a small condition.

However, it is likely that Ashton was the intended condition to move on to the next phase.

It must be hard to travel east without that kind of strength.

Even now.

The strength and personality of the cologne wool.

I can feel the giant cats all under Ashton's plan.

‘… design. ’

The East is where Gizgerai met Ashton.

It is natural to know more about cologne wool.

‘Can I keep doing this?

Ashton's manipulating me.

I get manipulated, I get stronger, I move toward my goals.

No, there is a target.

Every time I get involved with Kevin Ashton, there's always a choice I have to make.

‘Doll……. ’

Even though the puppet knew the pilot existed.

How overwhelming is the pilot who makes us have to move as intended.

‘But it never hurt. ’

No harm done.

My relationship with Gizgerai, who planted essence absorption, the foundation of growth, was the relief of Kevin Ashton in the beginning.

The other Red Flakes, of course.

Events related to Erasts.

I've never felt Ashton's touch in an important place.

‘Maybe the scenario itself……. ’

While deep thinking about Ashton, the ship slits open the current and moves forward.

Gaaaah!

Five boats follow the giant ‘cat’.

The sailing was going very smoothly.

A 100-meter long ‘cat’ simply splits into the body in front of a light wave.

‘It almost clears the way. ’

But even if it's not the monster.

The sea headed east was much calmer than I expected.

At least the sea spirits appear just like when they come to the island.

You anticipate a giant whirlpool that sucks everything into the abyss.

It's too peaceful. ’

Rather, it might be harder to sail near the Empire than here.

I don't see any place that looks really dangerous here.

Is this the sea that needs to know confidential information?

“Honestly, I think anyone's coming. ”

At this level, even a 'cat’ is enough to sail.

The Marquis casts a brief glance and turns his head.

“That……. ”

Nexmond speaks out.

“Setting a course is actually not that easy. Beyond the island to the east, the currents and winds are hard enough to cover dozens of cruelties. The entire eastern part of the island is a strange sea. ”

“Sometimes the current breaks apart by a few tens of meters. The wind is constantly changing day, season, temperature and night. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“It's like walking through a minefield without a clue. It's not just about keeping it in place, but about the location and type of mines that keep changing.

A minefield... ”

The captain explained.

Since he was a human who had pioneered the way to the ‘island’ in the beginning, he seemed to have a lot to say about it.

“It's not uncommon to come back to the east, or die in the middle of the ocean, trapped in a maze of currents and wind. Not one or two boats have disappeared so far. ”

“You mean starve to death in an isolated sea? ”

Asa E.

It's a terrible death.

You don't know it directly.

I heard it's a lot more painful than being stabbed by a spear.

Nexmond nods.

“Yes. Rather than starving to death, I'd say he's dead." Because there's no water, so you die first. ”

“It's just a guess for us as long as the ship doesn't come out after it dries up on the sea. ”

A quiet flame climbed up from the bridge to the side and laughed

It spilled.

“Hehe... There's never been a way to get there. Not to mention the breeze or the currents, and even the sea is' designed 'to feel the wind at all. There are seals that are so tightened that even the spirits can't cross over. ”

“Spirits... too? ”

Nexmond asked the flame in surprise.

Captain Nexmond feels that the quality of his experience so far is extraordinary.

Or very adaptable to the situation.

“Yes."

The flame gives Nexmond a nod.

“You said it, right? There's gonna be a lot of dead people out there on the ocean. Dogs, even if they don't stay on the ship in pain or grudge... they're more likely to be tied to the sea by the seal. ”

“That's terrible. ”

The captain said.

If this is how serious it is to talk about the monsters that have almost singled out an island.

Clearly, the east has been a restricted area for some time.

It's understandable that even Gizgerai didn't cross over.

‘But……. ’

Suddenly, I felt creepy.

After the sea route was breached, it was blocked from going east from the continent.

They blocked the route, moderately satisfying their interest in the Allied Humans' eastern side with a small 'island'.

But now there is nothing.

The seal is broken.

His cover's blown.

Rumors spread throughout the Empire and the Liberty League.

There's only so many humans left.

Above all.

‘This ship... is a problem. ’

I watched the ships sail side by side, two by side on board the flagship.

Nexmond knows this route.

He's still charting a thorough course.

If Nexmond's course is complete and known to many.

The duc can't be untraceable.

‘It's very difficult. ’

The purpose of the journey to the east is clear.

We're trying to get stronger and find the Legacy.

A true Eastern presence.

If the existence of the new route is known, the Duke's gaze is more likely towards the east in any way.

So that the meaning of going to the east is greatly diminished.

I lowered my voice and asked the flames.

“I'm sure the humans will be interested in the east now that you've been cleared of course and gone. Are you sure you're okay?

There are more powerful men in the Empire than you think. They may be threatening your home now. ”

Except for horseshoers, swordsmen, priests, and the strength of the alliance, who are faceless.

Above all, there is the possessed Duke.

Strange creatures, like the ones you saw in the Imperial slaughter, are also likely to appear.

But the flame revolved around me, smiling faintly and saying,

“Hahaha……. I've heard the same thing a few times in my hometown. But what does it matter? If you have a man who can conquer the East, raise as many arms as you want.

You should be welcoming. ”

“... Welcome? ”

“It's fun to be the enemy of the strong. All you have to do is think about fighting him and winning! As a monster who worships strength, you avoid strength? That doesn't make any sense! Stronger battles, thirst for better battles. It is the nature of a monster to fight until his body is torn apart and his soul is no more. What a wonderful thing it would be to be torn apart by a strong man! Even if it's all there is to tear! The whole hometown is fine! Those who sent me here are cowards who have forgotten who they are. One, a contract with cowards.

Even if it was a contract, I kept it to the end. ”

The Grand Duke who is listening next to me is expressing his gratitude.

Are you empathizing? ’

They work in the most ridiculous places.

It's a cologne that can leave a soul even if your body dies, but what does the Grand Marquis look like he believes in?

‘Because I'm impressed by it, I die early every time. ’

It's hard to live long if you like to break like a jail.

I don't think we should talk to them.

A reasonable opponent is needed.

“… Captain. ”

You stand at the end of the deck and talk to Nexmond, looking out at the sea.

“Yes, tell me. ”

“What will you do when you reach the east, complete the course? ”

Maybe you should have asked in advance.

“Will you sell it? Or everyone.

Are you going to share? ”

“On the contrary. ”

The captain smiles slightly.

“The more this information becomes known, the less wealth I have. I will actively safeguard this information more than anyone else. ”

“Wealth is dwindling? ”

“If I go around spreading rumors about the location of the trees bearing the golden fruit, would I have a daughter? I'm the only one who'll ever know. ”

“... the island is ruined. We left here first, as if we were waiting for you. Aren't you afraid to pursue? ”

Nexmond smiles deeper as he hears it.

“They must have all left the island in a row, apart from me. No one saw the tip turn east after the departure, and if my story came out, my friends in the Mainland would spread a disturbing rumor on their own. Attention to an individual named Nexmond will soon disappear due to the flood of peripheral rumors. ”

The League of Merchants should be able to do just that.

I nodded.

Not to mention his attention as a merchant.

Even if it doesn't make sense.

Nexmond opposes the Empire.

It's the pinnacle of power.

We can't cooperate with the ducs who are left with nothing but a much stronger position within the empire.

‘There are risks like brainwashing……. ’

You cannot slaughter a captain here.

I promised Captain Nexmond I'd show him the real east. Because of that, I saw convenience, obviously, small.

I can't throw it away.

And...

If you slaughter a captain here.

‘It gets very dangerous. ’

It's like worrying about a problem that didn't happen that causes a definite problem.

The problem is the Marquis.

Let's see what he looks like.

He will also say it's magic and try to make a decision.

There's nothing I can do to win.

One of the spare lives is lost.

‘The captain goes to the end with us. ’

It was time to get my thoughts straight.

“To me.”

Leandro suddenly turns to face me.

“Aren't you going to ask? ”

“What?”

“The breach appears to be anxious and restless, but I can spread it after I get back. ”

“What?”

I never thought about it.

‘This guy must be...' ’

No friends.

But there are connections.

‘The Blue Lion Knights. ’

They rode from the capital to Erast for the Marquis three days and nights.

There were even those who recognized the cloned Marquis and faked the attack.

‘It's very sticky. ’

If you release information to them.

‘It's not like Nexmond. ’

If you look at the horse, it cuts off.

That's their creed.

I'll assemble the Eastern Punitive Force right away, without even thinking about profits from information monopoly.

But...

Somehow I feel relieved to see the Marquis. I am relieved that you will be shortsighted.

Do you think you're gonna make it back alive? ’I haven't seen you live long. Loyal servant.

Even in an empire called Targeted Journey, there have always been tragic deaths.

There is no going back to the east alive, full of monsters.

‘I'm gonna kill him. If I don't pray, I'll definitely die in the east... ’

It was then.

“Fog ahead! ”

“That monster won't walk at all even if it gets close! ”

Nexmond, who heard the sentry report, urgently asked us for help.

“May I enter like this? ”

o ”

The flame replied.

“Is that...? ”

Is he really okay?

I conveyed the words of the cologne and focused my mind on the fog that covers the entire front.

Let's do it.

Yuck.

Queek…….

You hear a red mast whirring from a very high place.
