Episode 317: Black flood(Third Party Perspective)

Two people are facing each other in a luxurious room. It is the leader of the soldiers who killed the civilian in front of Noelle with a mad smile on his face, and his subordinate.

This is one of the military bases.

"What was that pillar of light?"

"Ha! It seems that it rose from the island of Ireland and the Kingdom of Britannia has gone to investigate, but it seems that they were not able to obtain any particular information."

"Is that so. If it doesn't affect us for the time being, let's just wait and see."

"Ha!"

Upon receiving the report about the pillar of light that rose into the sky from Ireland, the leader gives brief instructions, and his subordinate responds.

"And about the Saint, how has she been since then."

"Ha! She's using magic every day until she can't move, and is increasing the fields."

After talking about the pillar of light, the topic shifts to Noelle. The leader has not been to see Noelle since the pillar of light appeared, so he asks his subordinate how she is, and his subordinate answers.

"Fufufufu! It was a stroke of luck. So, what is the food situation in our country?"

The leader who listens to the report from his subordinate grins widely.

Furthermore, he confirms the results of the Saint's farming.

"The cultivation by the Saint has made it considerably recover. The starving population situation has also improved significantly around the capital. After that, if we distribute it to the rural areas, it is expected that the famine caused by the poor harvest and the Stampede will subside to some extent."

"Fufufufu! She really is a Saint. Let's continue to grow our fields. If she doesn't listen to me, I'll kill people who no one will grieve even if they die."

The leader smiles even more at the smooth report.

He also instructs his subordinate to work on the Saint.

"Ha! Understood."

"Then, you can leave and go back to your normal duties."

"Ha! Excuse me."

The soldier accepts the order without question, salutes, and leaves the room as directed by the leader.

"Fumu. However, it would be a shame to kill her by making her work too hard. Let's give her candy once in a while to keep her alive, not kill her, and have her do her best with an exquisite line."

In the room where he is alone, the leader smiles as he thinks about how he will treat Noelle in the future. His face still has a look of madness.

If a third person saw that face, they might have screamed in fear or held their breath, but there was no one there except for the leader.

"Guge!!!"

"Gugyah!!!"

"Guwaaaaaahhhh!!"

However, that smile didn't last long.

He can hear the screams of his subordinates one after another from outside, and the dull sound of being hit somewhere gradually approaches him from afar.

"What the hell is going on!?"

Sensing something strange, the leader opens the door where his subordinate has just left, and black objects were just overflowing from the T-junction at the back of the corridor. Furthermore, they stuck to the walls and ceiling, and the black objects seemed to defy gravity.

"Wha what, that is!?

The black objects charge at the leader who came out of the room with great force. The black objects spread all over the corridor, filling the corridor as if a hole had opened in the wall of a submarine facility and flooded it.

"Ugaaaaaaaahhhhhh!?"

A subordinate who was at the end of the corridor from him was blown away beside the startled leader. The fact that he collided with the black object and was blown away means that it is not a liquid.

"That is ... a monster!?"

When he looks closely at the black object that is attacking him like a flood, he realizes that it is a wolf-type monster with black fur.

"No way!? How the hell did monsters invade this solid fortress!? No, on the contrary, there shouldn't be a dungeon around here, so why the hell are monsters coming to a place like this!? No, this is not the time to think about such things. I have to escape before it attacks me!!"

Unable to believe the scene in front of him, the leader is stunned and almost sinks into a sea of thoughts, but he reconsiders that it is not the time to think like that and immediately runs away from the waves.

The speed is as expected of a high-rank explorer. He is incomparably faster than normal people, and is fast enough that only a handful of explorers can reach it.

However, the large army of black wolves are so fast that even the leader's legs can not escape.

"Ku! , Damn!!"

The black wave approaches the leader's back steadily without a sound. Steadily closing the gap, they are already catching up to just behind the leader.

"Won!!!"

"U, uwaaaaaaahhhhh!?"

When the leader looks back due to the feeling of intimidation, the monster that is running before his eyes jumps at him, and despite being confused, he draws the sword attached to the explorer's waist and intercepts.

"N, no way!?"

However, even though the slash hits the body of the black wolf, it goes through the body as it is.

"Ugee!!!"

The leader, whose body stiffens due to the unexpected situation, is attacked by a large army of black wolves and loses consciousness.

On this day, the military and administrative departments of a certain Middle Eastern country are destroyed overnight.
