LIGHTNOVELWORLD chapter 114
114. Lesen Kingdom (1)
Yuma looked at Brigitte closely.
“Did you hear what problem you are asking me for assistance with?”
Brigitte nodded to Yuma’s question.
“It is said that countless golems are pouring out of the temple at the back of the kingdom, where nothing has happened for hundreds of years.”
“What is the level of strength?”
Brigitte’s brows hardened slightly at Yuma’s question.
“There are many people that even the Master cannot kill.”
“Right.”
Unlike Brigitte’s frown, Yuma’s mind was quite peaceful. Is it because she has dealt with people with so much transcendent power?
Even though it was the appearance of a being that could crush a Master-level person, I didn’t feel any special emotion.
Yuma knew why Brigitte called him without hesitation when another kingdom requested assistance.
This is because Yuma had spoken to Brigitte in the first place.
This is because if there were any sudden signs of abnormality, they requested that they be relayed even if it was not a matter of the Astes Empire, the home country.
The Kingdom of Resene was clearly an ally with the Astes Empire.
“The exact location is here, the cave and forest behind the palace. On the front line here, the second princess was standing on the final front line.”
Yuma put the information Brigitte gave him into his head. And she also put the map that had been unfolded in her sub-space pocket.
“Let’s leave right away.”
Perhaps it was because the danger that the evil spirits could do had dawned on Yuma’s mind, and he decided to do it quickly.
Brigitte widened her eyes.
“Are you going alone?”
“Is there anyone who wants to go with me?”
Brigitte narrowed her eyes again at Yuma’s words.
“…Currently, the 2nd Knights Corps is the only force within the empire that can be deployed to other countries right away.”
Yuma took a moment to gather his thoughts and then opened his mouth again.
“Not by unit. If I were to choose just one person to go with me, what would it be?”
Brigitte stared intently beyond the door.
“Among the powerful people in the empire now, there is Ella, the 3rd seat of the empire.”
Ella, 3rd seat of the Empire.
It wasn’t the first time I heard the name.
“I said he was a master-level warrior who uses a spear.”
Brigitte agreed.
“You remember.”
Actually, I couldn’t remember the face in detail.
I just remember the name because I heard it.
‘Master-level spearman.’
It seemed appropriate for an escort role.
“I will go with the 3rd Imperial House first. Send the 2nd Knight Commander separately.”
“okay.”
Yuma left Brigitte’s office and waited in front of the imperial palace.
A woman with blonde hair approached Yuma. The woman stood at attention, moving her spear sternly behind her waist.
“Meeting His Excellency the Archduke Yuma. My name is Ella Brighton!”
“We’re leaving right now.”
Ella responded loudly to Yuma’s words.
“yes!”
What are you, a soldier?
Yuma checked Ella with his ＜Exploration Eye＞.
[Lv.138] Ella Brighton
Race: Human
Level: Master
I told Yuma that Brigitte was an outstanding person who had the potential to become a Grand Master. At level 138, she wasn’t completely close, but it seemed like there was a good chance.
“egg plant.”
Yuma called Ethan with a wave of his hand.
Ethan was waiting with both feet on the railing in front of the imperial palace, so he immediately spread his huge wings wide and landed in front of Yuma.
“Get in.”
Ella’s eyes lit up.
“yes!”
Ella, the armored warrior riding on Yuma’s back seat, adapted faster than anyone else she had ridden with up to that point.
Nettle liquid─
It had already been announced that Grand Duke Yuma’s griffon, who was working on the eastern border leading to the Lassen Kingdom, would pass by, so he did not judge it as a violation of airspace and just quietly watched the griffon glide.
Yuma and Ella’s hair was blowing in the wind.
“Did you hear about the guys you have to deal with?”
Ella opened her mouth at the words of Yuma in the front seat.
“No, His Majesty told me to ask the Grand Duke directly!”
Yuma remembered something he wanted to ask before talking about the person he had to deal with.
“Where were you before you came to the imperial palace?”
Ella answered very consistently, clearly and loudly.
“We were protecting the western front line!”
I had a hunch that he might be in the military. It really seems like that was the case.
“What is your position?”
“You were a great general! Your story as Grand Marshal is a legend in the military! It’s an honor!”
… What are the days of the Grand Marshal?
It was supposed to be a week long.
Is this meant to be sarcastic or sincere?
Yuma looked back slightly.
“Huh! Do you have any business? Please tell me!”
Looking at the sparkling red eyes beneath the blonde hair, surprisingly, it seemed like he meant what he said.
Yuma opened his mouth again.
“I think all of the 10 Imperial Houses I’ve met so far didn’t want to be tied down to their positions.”
It was a trap that I killed half of the ten imperial rulers I encountered with my own hands.
“That’s right! But it’s okay because I come from a military family that has been passed down from generation to generation! The Grand Marshal of the West is also my father!”
It was an insight into why the personality of Ella Brighton, who identified herself as 28 years old, was formed this way.
“The enemy is most likely a golem.”
“Golem…! We know that golems are usually creatures that follow the will of their owner! We need to think about how to deal with their owner!”
Ella was right. However, Yuma’s intuition told him that the golem’s owner was not currently in this world.
It is said that one of the gods in the God Realm moved the golem.
‘It is said that the temple where the golems were originally built was built to honor the golems who protected the kingdom a thousand years ago as guardian gods.’
Golems that suddenly appeared a thousand years ago and stopped the invasion of giant monsters that had shadowed the kingdom. The golems entered the mountain behind the kingdom and stopped moving.
Inspired by a series of mythological scenes, the king of the time turned the space where about 100 golems, which had completely stopped functioning, crouched into a temple. To honor the golems who protected the kingdom.
But now, the golems that saved the kingdom a thousand years ago have suddenly started attacking the kingdom’s citizens.
So Yuma was convinced that this was a trick of a god in the divine world.
***
The Second Princess Palace located above the King’s Palace of the Resen Kingdom.
The place was now the scene of a vicious struggle. The 3rd Prince’s Palace, located beyond the 2nd Princess’ Palace, was also the same.
Both troops were moving to annihilate the golems. The goal was clearly the annihilation of the golems, but the situation did not go as planned.
This is because just defending against the golems was overwhelming.
A thousand years ago, the golems that protected this kingdom of Ressen were showing such majesty. This time, the problem was that they were on the side that wanted to annihilate the Lesen Kingdom.
Quaaa!
The royal fortress was destroyed in half by the golems’ giant fists.
Maynell, the second princess of the Lesen Kingdom, looked at the fallen knights and soldiers on the front lines. Her blood was strewn on the ground.
The soldiers advanced forward with their spears in hand.
Fifty soldiers formed a circle and hurled their spears at the same time.
A cool flash of light stretched out.
However, the spear was completely broken and broken without even touching the body where the golem’s heart was located.
Wood clatter!
Quad deud deuk!
To the golem that seemed to be nothing more than ignorantly swinging its palm.
It broke even when I touched it.
Even though the knights swung with sword energy, the golem didn’t even get a hit.
You had to be a master level to cut rocks, but the number of masters in the Lesen Kingdom was only seven. And there were only three masters currently on site.
It is not enough to handle well over 100 golems.
Ugh—Ugh!
Soldiers and knights who were struck by the palm of the giant rock golem’s sideways swing turned into blood clots and fell all over the place.
Either their internal organs explode and they die, or their heart is pierced by a broken structure. There were many corpses who had died instantly with their heads bent.
Anger overcoming fear is only possible when there is even the slightest possibility of opposing it.
However, the golem covered in the blood and flesh of its comrades was not an enemy that could be faced. The only emotion that prevailed was fear.
Runtod, the leader of the 2nd Knights of the Lesen Kingdom, raised a vivid Auror Blade on his sword and charged at the golden golem, the golem at the forefront.
Kaaa!
After swinging three consecutive attacks, Rundot had no choice but to step back with a blank expression on his face. As a master, he cut six golems in two. But this golden golem in front of me didn’t even have a scratch.
Karrrrrrrrrrr!
With an eerie sound, the mouth inside the huge golden rock formed a crescent moon. It looked like the face of a predator seeing its prey.
Boom─
The yellow golem next to the golden golem lifted a broken rock pillar with both hands and threw it.
The 2nd Knight Commander, whose upper body was hit by a pillar, was thrown into the back of Princess Maynell.
“Whoops…!”
Thick blood poured out from the knight commander’s mouth.
Sreung.
The brown-haired princess, Meynell, held up a sword.
Maynell’s green eyes shook violently. Her sword lifted, but her arms did not move.
“I’m going!”
A ray of light flashed next to Meynell.
Awesome!
Suddenly, a woman fell from the sky like a lightning bolt and swung her spear at the yellow golem that had just thrown a huge rock pillar.
Tukwaaang!
The spear, which rotated like a whirlpool, mercilessly shattered all of the yellow golem’s rocks and even shattered its heart core inside.
Crrraaa!
When a subordinate was killed by a suddenly appearing human, the golden golem flashed red eyes and raised both huge arms.
[Lv.268] Golden Golem
Race: Golem
Alignment: Evil
Level: Grand Master
Characteristics: A being called upon as a subordinate of an unknown god.
Formidable magical energy was instantly concentrated in the clenched fists at the ends of both arms.
And it was struck down.
The moment when the vicious attack was about to be inflicted on the woman, Ella Brighton.
＜blink＞
Something appeared before Ella’s eyes.
Kaaa!
A loud noise rang out and a thick layer of dust rose up.
Maynell raised his right arm to quickly block the dust that was covering his vision.
Karaaak!
The dust cleared the moment the golden golem screamed.
The brown-haired princess, Maynell, swallowed her saliva at the sight seen through her green eyes.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwagwagwang!
It was disintegrating.
The entire body of the golden golem, which was bigger than the ogre, was disintegrating into pieces.
The golem’s body, which had been intact despite the master’s sword strike, was cruelly destroyed.
Countless square stones were thrown towards the back where there were countless golems.
