Chapter 137: 137 – It's Ready!

After cutting through several monsters in front of him with just one hit, Royma began to be attacked from all sides. She didn't have much room to fight, so she just kept swinging her sword while slashing as many monsters as possible.

As much as she cut through the monsters, the number didn't seem to diminish one bit, and Royma's stamina and mana wouldn't last forever.

"I need to get out of here." Royma was surrounded and practically cornered in front of the guild door.

Continuing to swing her sword and slash at the goblins, Orcs, and Kobolds, she cast a protective spell in front of the door and then prepared to retreat. It wasn't as difficult as she expected.

She was confident in her strength and agility, her legs were stronger than normal.

So she took advantage of a small uneven wood in the guild building to support her foot and throw herself with all her strength upwards. She was afraid the timber from the construction would break, but she managed to jump.

A few monsters tried to jump up and grab her feet, but Royma, who had held onto the building's second-story window, again used her bodily strength to throw herself up.

She couldn't do it with her strength alone this time, so she used Level 6 Wind Magic to create a huge whirlwind under her feet that gave her more momentum, making her grab onto the roof and then throw herself up there.

Standing on top of the guild's roof, she took a deep breath. His sword that was still in her hand had almost been the cause of her death this time. When she went to hold on to the window, her hand had almost slipped off.

She thanked God that she hadn't fallen into the throng of monsters that had formed below.

Looking around, she could only see monsters walking the streets of Tineever. Monsters breaking into buildings, monsters chasing people and killing them, but she could only look away.

She couldn't do anything about it, the number of monsters was insane.

Her heart pounded as she stared at that scene in front of her. Her city being swallowed by an avalanche of monsters that slaughtered the entire population.

Before she knew it, she was already sitting on the roof of the adventurers' guild as she just watched it all unfold in front of her. Royma didn't have enough strength to get rid of these monsters.

She didn't have the strength to protect anyone but her employees, she felt very powerless in this situation. And she couldn't forgive herself for that.

Slap~~

Royma slapped her face hugely as tears began to well up in her eyes.

Another day passed and we were probably halfway to the village. The number of carriages we encountered on the way had decreased, so we were feeling calmer.

At all times I thought we would be attacked, as some of the carriages were somewhat grim.

Carriages that were in a deplorable state and a rather gloomy coachman, I can only describe them that way. Inside, too, I could see some men in steel armor.

Men who when they looked at me smiled, but thankfully they hadn't stopped to look for trouble.

"Mother, do you think we should stop here?" I was a little distracted, but Lisandra caught my eye.

Lisandra was pointing to the right side of the road, where a path had been made. Following that somewhat bumpy path, there was a village that was a bit decayed.

I had passed here before, it's a little poor village, but I never stopped to visit them.

"Why? Do you think we should stop?"

"The horses seem to be thirsty, and I'm also wanting to go to the bathroom... Hehe."

"But didn't you do it in the woods last time? Why are you ashamed now?"

"I need a shower... I don't know if you can understand."

"Oh, you're in that period, I get it."

"DON'T SAY ANYTHING, JUST BE QUIET!" Lisandra protested and they all started to laugh. Lisandra's face was red.

"Okay, we can stop here. I think we will be well received." I've never visited them, but villagers are usually very considerate. Of course, they usually welcome you to get something in return.

So I asked Dala to take the slightly bumpy path to the village and I went ahead to warn the villagers.

When I got closer to the village, I noticed that it was fenced in with some kind of iron fence that had some spikes that would pierce anyone who tried to get through.

There weren't many houses, they were old and their windows were broken. The roofs of most houses were also damaged, I wonder how they manage to sleep on rainy days.

In the middle of the village, there was a small vegetable plantation, but it didn't seem to be growing very well, the land doesn't look very fertile in this region. The grass around was also a little brown as if it were dying.

'What a pity. But I don't think it's because of a lack of water, it's probably some infertile land issue.' They also had a well that was dug next to the plantation. Where there was a system with a bucket and a rope for the water to be removed.

We also had a similar one in our village.

As I approached the fence, a few women wearing slightly worn clothes noticed me.

One of them was looking at the plantation, another was using the well water to wash some clothes, and another woman was at the window of one of the houses, but she ran inside as soon as she saw me.

The population here doesn't seem to be very large either.

"Excuse me?" I called for the woman who was tending the crops and the one who was washing clothes, but I was completely ignored.

I called for them again, but the women didn't respond.

Coming from inside one of the houses, a man appeared with messy black hair. He wore an open-front shirt that would be buttoned up.

But his shirt was open, showing off his lean physique and a little depressing in my opinion. His ribs were visible, showing a clear sign of malnutrition.

The man was also wearing long pants and a pair of dirty brown shoes, he was a "Hick"

"Can I help you, miss?" The man had a deep, calm voice. He was looking a bit menacing as he looked at the carriage approaching behind me.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask for some water for my horses, and my daughter is also having some problems. Mind if we stay here for a while?" I smiled honestly at the man, but he was still frowning.

"Hmm... Who else is with you?"

"Do not worry about it. They are just my friends, we are traveling to my village, we came from the capital."

"From the capital?" The man raised his eyebrows.

"That. Could you do this favor? I promise we won't be here too long."

"I don't think it's a problem... But if you do something suspicious, I won't have another option, understand?" The man was using a menacing tone as he looked with his sharp eyes in my direction.

"Calm down, let's not do anything." I smiled at the man and then got off my horse.

"Okay, go to the other side of the village, the entrance is through there."

"So why does the road come here?"

"Don't ask so many questions." What an annoying man, isn't he?

A day later, royal castle, capital of Southlein.

"My lord, everything is already prepared." A man knelt in front of the king.

"Great, so she did it, Hahaha." The King laughed happily as he rose from his throne and raised his arms.

"Yes sir, she is just awaiting her orders at the moment."

"Don't be in such a hurry, let's wait a little longer."

"?!"

"They're not attacking, are they? I'm sure they're planning something, just wait and see." The King gave a fearless smile. The man in front of him swallowed his saliva as he looked at the King.

After that, the man was dismissed and the king sat back on his throne while he smiled. With a cry, a maid entered the room, and then he sent her to fetch some wine.

"Looks like things are going to start to get a little fun." The King, who was now drinking his wine, was being watched by all his guards in the room. He was smiling more than usual, so everyone was a little uneasy.

But of course, after your beloved army is ready, who wouldn't be happy?

An army strong enough to end the war easily, any king would be happy if he had that power in his hands, and it was that power he had now. Right now he was feeling like the most powerful man on this continent.

But even though he felt that way, he knew he couldn't let his guard down.

Things were very quiet, the enemy didn't try to attack and didn't even try to negotiate or get in touch in any way.. The king was sure they were planning something, so he was keeping his special army a secret.
