Chapter 1421 (2/2)

In thisbehind the Sauron Liberation Front, to the surface to negotiate with hiotiations failed

It seemed that the emperor and the Zero Sword, the leader of the Fifteen Evil-breaking Swords, had decided that it would be too dangerous for anyone to chase Vandalieu on their own if he left the Sauron Liberation Front to die and refused to cootiations broke doithout fighting

“Me and two others,” Ervine said “The 'Insect Swarar, the Eleventh Sword, are participating”

“Wait, why are you telling me that?” Rickert asked

Because Rickert was merely a decoration to be shown off to society, he didn't have detailed infor Swords, including Ervine Ervine was the only one whose name and face he knew, and as for the other true iven them, which were almost like codenames

Rickert found it strange that Ervine would go out of his way to reveal their names

“Of course, it's because you'll meet them on-site,” Ervine replied “With this ather preemptively We can't scout from the sky, and even when people were sent in directly, they went ”

“I knew that Duke Maro well, but what about the Hilt guys?” Rickert asked

A Swords, there were so from the 'Hilt,' which was comprised of capable covert operatives and spies At the very least, they should have been more competent than Duke Marme's soldiers

“Ah After sending infore stone ,” said Ervine “That's e're going to conduct a power search once we arrive on-site Either way, if we capture, interrogate and kill resistance members or Ghouls, the mastermind or someone who knows him will come out eventually”

“Isn't it a bad idea to kill the subordinates of so that this would take a lot of time and effort

“It's not like there are any proble the methods that he's used so far, no uy who thinks of his subordinates' lives like consu, Ricky-boy?”

Rickert closed his eyes and recalled theso far

Leaving aside the fact that he had slaughtered the expedition army, he had turned them into Undead, attacked a city and rendered the cultivated land there uninhabitable

The iain from all of this was one with a coldhearted, cruel personality that didn't hesitate despite the fact that civilians could get caught up in the conflict and that the hearts of the deceased expedition ar time… no, he had likely even taken this into account and taken these actions on purpose

Considering the Dungeon creation incident and the destruction of the slave-run mine in the Hartner Duchy, it didn't seem that he had any compassion or mercy

And the deliberatemembers of the Reborn Sauron Duchy Army, carried out in order to increase the power of the Sauron Liberation Front, led by the Liberating Princess Knight, whom he had somehow turned into his subordinate

Given all of these, Vandalieu didn't care if innocent lives were put at risk as long as he could erase those who opposed him, and he would use the lives of his subordinates like consuhtest if they were killed That was the kind of iether

However, there was infore

“No, it's difficult to iht there were soe reports,” said Rickert

Vandalieu had apparently assisted the cultivation villages of the Hartner Duchy, and around the time period where he appeared there frequently, there had been a es near where sers were visited by 'Vida's clay dolls' filled with valuable ed livestock as an offering

And if the reason the Ghouls of the Hartner Duchy had vanished like the ones in the Mirg shi+eld-nation was because Vandalieu had gathered theth, Vandalieu could create Undead, so he wouldn't have needed to go out of his way to gather Ghouls

“Considering that, wouldn't you say that he controls the Undead to use as disposable soldiers, feels no mercy and even sadistic tendencies towards his eneh compassion to provide charity to those he feels he should protect?” said Rickert “It's exactly as if you swapped the humans and Vida's races in Duke Marme's views”

“That ht be true” Ervine didn't even try to deny Rickert's conclusion “But either way, they're likely just accessories for hiood things Orthem until he turns them into Undead Like fish in a tank It's possible that the upper ranks of the Sauron Liberation Front, including the Liberating Princess Knight, have already been turned into Undead and the underlings are continuing to move, oblivious to it”

“That's true, but…”

“And it's not like we're going to be friends with him If we can take him in, ill, and if that seems impossible, we dispose of him If he has precious people that can be used as a weakness, then it's actually convenient We can use thees Ricky-boy, don't you worry about it Just lift up the Liberating Princess Knight's head and think of a speech to calht thanks to His Majesty, the great e Swords”

And with those words, Ervine's faint presence vanished Rickert wasn't sure whether he had left or whether he was lurking around somewhere, but either way, the conversation was already over

“… That old geezer, guessing all the things that I find unpleasant and then ending the conversation like that,” Rickert muttered

What he found unpleasant was not theSwords or the emperor's intents, but the contents of thish

Rickert's role was to carry out his officialthe resistance and ardless of whether the negotiations with Vandalieu and his possible extermination were successful or not

Whether the Liberating Princess Knight's head was the real one or a fabricated fake would depend on the negotiations with Vandalieu, however

“My lord I believe that your mission is also a necessary duty to provide the Amid Empire with a thousand years of prosperity,” said Buss, offering Rickert a black tea ic Item

Rickert responded with a sigh

“But can Ervine-dono and the others really defeat that Dha everyone's abilities, however”

“They probably can,” Rickert replied, his shoulders relaxing as the scent of the black tea filled his nose “If what he says can be trusted, Ervine hi Swords And I've heard ru Slayer”

Insect Sas the only confirroup offrom the shallow layers of the Trial of Zakkart, all on his own

The King Slayer originated from the Hilt, and he had slain nu that had been protected by hundreds or thousands of underlings

Rickert, as an advertiseth

“And aathered about Vandalieu so far, there is nothing that th It's likely that he's a special Tamer He tries to increase the number of pawns under his command because he himself is weak His attack on the slave-runof Ghouls, Scylla and the resistance as his underlings, it's all probably for that reason Judging from how he polluted the cultivated land, he probably has poison and disease-related ways of attacking, but if they are wary of that, then he won't even put up a fight”

Rickert found this mission unpleasant, but at the very least, he wouldn't fail it That was the kind of mission it was

The 'Noah' Mao Sht and the tickling sensation of a breeze against her skin for the first ti time

“Even in a different world, the sun and wind aren't any different, are they,” she murmured “But still, I'm really naked… am I supposed to cover myself with leaves?”

There was nobody else around her… Seeing that she was in a grass-covered plain, Mao decided to examine the state of her body in her third lifetime

Chestnut-colored hair and tanned skin Her height was far shorter than it had been on Earth or in Origin – to put it bluntly, she was a et

As if to compensate for that, her limbs had muscle on them Mao curled her hands into fists several ti

“Hmm, I don't have scales or a hand dyna thatthat, my body feels heavier I suppose that's because I chose this race,” she muttered

Those who knew her fro traces of its previous appearance, but it was younger overall It ht have been possible to convince theer sister with completely different hair, eye and skin colors

But that would be difficult in Lambda Because she was a member of a different race

The race that Mao had chosen for her third life was the Dwarf race

It wasn't that she'd wanted to be a Dwarf no matter what She had simply wanted an appearance that was as different as possible from the one that Vandalieu knew

It was ie her face Her physical body would be influenced by her soul that carried its memories and personality from her previous lives

It was possible to minimize that influence if she were to have been reborn as a baby like she had been in Origin But when reincarnated in a directly-created adult body, it was impossible

Thus, Mao had chosen to become a Dwarf rather than a human or Elf

She had actually wanted Rodcorte to make her a man, but that was impossible

“You know that the brain structures of men and women are different, do you not? If the body and soul do not e effects… in the worst-case scenario, you could die within several days, so I advise against it,” Rodcorte had said

Of course, the 'Inspector' shi+mada Izumi had confirmed that this wasn't a lie

“Well, ed in my Status, and I'll be found out when I'et used to my body eventually… Status Wow, it really comes out”

Mao examined her own Attribute Values and her transformed Skills She could see her Unique Skills – The God of Reincarnation's Fortune, Target Radar: Owner of over 100,000,000 Death-Attribute Mana and Unique Skill Concealment

With Unique Skill Concealment, her Unique Skills wouldn't be seen by Deistered at a Guild

This was afroht of by Izumi and Aran With this, the fact that she was a reincarnated individual wouldn't be revealed, even if her Status was looked at

“Still, seeingability turned into 'Mount'… I was a pilot, you know And h… Just what kind of monsters are the people who live in this world? Well, I'll stop the naked ht? Hs~”

Listening to Rodcorte's voice that was playing inside her head, Mao began walking She was heading towards a set clothes and other things that she needed

And by the time she was ready for her journey, she would have become a Level 100 Jobless, also coained fro the bandits

Once she continued to a nearby city, registered at a Guild, received identification, fabricated a suitable background and finally went through a Job-change, nobody would suspect anything

She was fifteen years old, a Dho had just becoe at first that she hadn't possessed a Job until co cities, countries and continents as she repeatedly changed Jobs, she would be able to fool them

“Now then, once I save enough in a business in another continent”

Mao had no intention of getting involved with Vandalieu whatsoever She had no intention of trying to kill him like Murakami and the others, nor did she intend to try to convince hii

She intended to flee to a place far away from Vandalieu and spend her life there That hy she had chosen to be reincarnated earlier than the others

Though she had reached out to the other reincarnated individuals, like the 'Clairvoyance' Tendou, the 'Ifrit' Akaki and the 'Oracle' Endou Kouya, they hadn't followed her

But they had supported her They had told her that there ht Vandalieu, and that Mao should lend them her help when the time came

Incidentally, she would be contacted by Izumi and Aran when such individuals appeared, or in situations of eency

Rodcorte had allowed Mao's decision Reincarnated individuals had the role of developing La Vandalieu

One day, a Dwarf adventurer by the naic despite her race, would eventually codo industries

She would reach C-class around a year after her registration, far faster than ordinary adventurers, but soon get on a shi+p and journey away from the Bahn Gaia continent

The 'Noah' Mao Smith has been reincarnated in a Dwarf body created by Rodcorte

Re reincarnated individuals:

Rodcorte's Divine Realm: 12
