1144 Episode One Thousand Twenty-four: The Occupied Castle (1/2)
”Hey, Kara. Speaking of which, why are you evacuating here? There wasn't anywhere else, like a pantry or an arsenal.”
”... J, actually...”
Apparently the closest and biggest room for each of these evacuees was here. Besides, it seems that places like the pantry and the armory that seemed good for evacuation were first occupied by poison gas.
There are no enemy big names around here because the King and King Rama drove their enemies hard to the back of this castle, so it seems that the last fort Mr. Orgo and Mr. Ruin have left on this scene. Only to prevent annihilation. In other words, the kings are confronted with their enemies ready that they may die. But then again, if I go now, I can move the war in the right direction. I've been here since I noticed, so it shouldn't be that long.
”Then I figured if I went to the Kings right now, I'd be able to take advantage? The enemy just attacked us. What?
”... uh, no. It's been about an hour now. We've been holding out for an hour because Alim gave us this pendant and I and your brother's magic to endure...”
Not only is he losing detection for some reason, but he seems to be drifting outside until time. Sure, because I've rushed right after the anomaly... I wonder if I've had about half an hour in this castle. It's like a magic room. I wonder if I should have thought that reinforcements such as Mr. Ult and Mr. Gilmers would not have come for another few hours even if they had noticed this anomaly. Seeking help from Shaw and Kanata now will take just as long. … well, should I send you a message?
”In the meantime, I'm worried about the kings, so I'll see what happens. I'll be back as soon as something happens. I left Micah without knowing there was still an enemy executive.”
”Okay. If that's it... be careful”
”Yeah, ah, I'll leave this for once. An autonomous doll with the strength of an SSS-ranked adventurer.”
I installed two robotically altered weapons that I made. Even this will work out for a while. We can use it as a weapon even when we have enemies that are no match for us.
”I'll be there, then.”
I'm out of your room. Now I'll explore the magic of Micah and that gatekeeper. No, it's not just those two. Obviously, the number of people is increasing. There are still more and more amazing numbers. Apparently Micah is doing well. But let's have a peek in the face once, shall we? I headed to Micah's current location.
”Micah!”
”Ah, Ayu...... Alim! How did it go with Kara and the others?!?
”Aristocrats, royal children, and non-fighting adults like Queen Karna, mainly Kara and Mr. Ruin, were evacuated to the same room where Kara reacted.”
