Chapter 19 - The Rise of the Beast Chapter 9 Bloodbath...

Since it was a cell, there was only one room.
However, it was a VIP level room, so it was unusually large, so large that it was fine for one person to sleep across a bed.
That's right, there were 8 beds in this room, and they were all extra-large in size.
Who the hell designed such a morbid design, I really wanted to discuss life with him.
But one of us doesn't need a bed yet.
Purewhite went to sleep on her own just standing next to the bed, I hadn't even noticed how she slept before, but I didn't realize that she could fall asleep standing up?
Instead, Ojado went straight to sleep inside the den, but was it really a good idea not to change his clothes?
I remembered that Oyado was wearing this outfit to kill the treacherous mercenary and tossed it together for a day... At least take a shower... But the other party entered the nest and didn't move, so I could only silently change my clothes and get into the nest.
The room's lights were turned off by the nest, only the luminous stone in the corner of the wall emitted a slight light.
There was still light shining in through the window, and it seemed like there must be a million other things happening tonight.
But that's Jens and the others' problem, so as a bystander, I'd better observe their actions before making my next decision.
And that 18 year old, since the other side didn't come to me, one might not need my power, but maybe he understands that he can't win. Either way, there's no point in me going to him now.
Because there wasn't enough insertion point, one that would get me to him.
Without such an opportunity, I'd be under suspicion if I suddenly went to help him, and naturally no good would come of it.
Therefore, it's better to sit back and wait and see what happens at this point.
"That..."
Suddenly, the voice of the chairman came from the side.
"Today...thank you very much indeed, if it weren't for you, perhaps the entire Blue Lake City would..."
"Really, I told you not to use honorifics, at least you're the chairman, I'm just a mercenary."
I laughed in response, then looked over to the chairman's side.
Even though I was separated by a bed, the pupil of Breguet still gave me enough strength to see the chairman in the darkness looking at me.
"No, you are already an existence worthy of my respect with this strength, so what's wrong with adding a salutation?"
"Alright, alright, it's your freedom. By the way, why isn't there anyone in this city who can defend against high-level beasts? If you encounter a situation like this, how do you generally deal with it?"
"This is something you don't know, although Blue Lake City is a border city, it's also an inland city, and since it was built, there has never been an incident of beast attacks. Instead, there were a few attacks and defensive battles a long time ago when there was a war with the orcs, but the walls have basically never been attacked again since then, and naturally there will be no one here to arrange a defense."
"All in all, it's just too much negativity after too much peace..."
"Yes, and this is the westernmost point of the Vetter Empire, so it won't face a frontal assault from the Eastern Continent, nor will the country's main defense force be here."
"Is that why those beasts chose to attack here...?"
"What?"
"Ah, that's just my guess. Chairman-sama, since you have become the chairman, you must have participated in some offensive and defensive wars when you were a mercenary, right?"
"Well, yes."
"Then for this beast's attack, you should be able to see that the other side received command to act in unison, right?"
"Yes."
"Then it's obvious that the other side is trying to maximize the effectiveness of their attacks, and they must have picked the least well-defended city to ensure their success, and the poorly defended Blue Lake City is naturally the first choice, don't you think?"
"Indeed... it's too much... what exactly do those people want to do? Is controlling so many beasts to attack trying to take over this place?"
"No, if the other side is using a beast like the Demon Blast, what the other side might be doing is not occupation, but destruction."
"Destruction?"
"Yes, remodeling is usually a real pain in the ass, but destroying and rebuilding it would be much faster."
"Who...exactly could that be...?"
"Well, let's stop dwelling on it and get some rest. Based on the efficiency of Lord Jens, I think we've got a lot to do tomorrow."
"Say...that's right."
As the room quieted down once again, I looked at the ceiling and silently took out the potion that Mary-sensei had given me earlier.
A sleep potion.
We can't sleep in this world, even if we close our eyes at night, we can only be dazed, but the sleep potion is different, it's the one that puts me into this state of sleep and restores my mental strength.
And because of the time lapse, it is guaranteed to let me sleep for 6 hours without any disturbance, neither more nor less, the perfect potion.
After clicking the use button, I slowly get lost in front of my eyes.
I hope it's a good dream.

"Shit! f*cking mercenaries! Who the hell is that? Who taped those images!"
Fawcett, the current Duke, was ranting inside his own conference room, but none of the people around the table dared to speak for fear of drawing their anger upon themselves.
"And! Did that f*cking crooked businessman say anything or not! Where the hell did the battle figure I ordered get hidden by that bastard!"
"Well...on that point, he said he was hijacked once on the way, so they may have gotten rid of him."
An officer said with trepidation.
"What? Then why weren't the cores stolen? Just my most expensive combat humanoid was stolen!"
"Probably... because I didn't see the value of those things, since they're just ordinary decorations and stuff..."
"It's an a**h*le! It must be too late to place your order! You guys, hurry up and get someone to put the cores on top of the old battle figures, I want to make sure they're ready to be combatants in an hour!"
"Yes! I'm on my way."
"What about...that merchant?"
Another officer whispered.
"Crap, kill! Do you still want to pay him? There's no need for pity for that kind of cheap life as much as you want."
The Duke's face was colored with madness, as if a series of untoward events had made him impatient to the extreme.
"And those mercenaries, kill the head tomorrow! With that mercenary chairman, let's say they broke out of prison en masse! Got it?!"
"It's...we..."
Those officials instantly wimped out, they had more or less learned from their own subordinates about the strength of that swordsman who could use magic and the mercenary president, those people, how many people here wouldn't be enough if it backfired.
"Fear not! We'll be using the combat humanoid loaded with the newest core right away, and we're still afraid of those mercenaries!"
Hearing this, the surrounding people immediately had a look of relief on their faces.
"That's right, those human forms are very strong, so why would they fear mercenaries."
"That's right, it's still our Lord Duke who is far-sighted."
At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened and ten combatants carrying different weapons walked in through the door with a grim expression.
"Haha, my soldiers, you are my foremost weapons, you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the fighting figures in between suddenly drew their weapons and slaughtered the conference room officials!
Before the Duke could react, he was the only one left alive in the entire room.
He touched the red-white mixture that splattered on his face and fell right off his seat as his feet went weak.
"Oh my lovely brother, you're still so naive~"
At the door, then in walked a smiling Jens.
"Congratulations, now, I'm going to arrest you for treason, blasphemy, and high treason, and you're going to spend the rest of your life in...prison!"
Then he turned to his men and said.
"Kill! Kill all the extra people!"
"Yes!"
The blood bath, it begins.
