86-Episode 5: Let's go straight ahead



Hindu?

 The chair pulled back and the lord's massive body rolled on the ground.
 He blew a bubble and passed out.

''My lord-sama!''

 The exclamations of the troops echoed.

'Well, let's let them go home this time, shall we?

 I walked past the stunned security forces and headed for the exit.

''Hey, what are you doing? Don't let him get away!

 The one who shouted angrily was that man who said he was of the second class.
 The security forces regrabbed their respective weapons and hurriedly surrounded me.
 As before, it's easy to get out of the way if you use a shrinkage, but--

'Hmm. You said they were all combat-based [senior positions].

 I continued to walk straight and normal.
 Immediately afterwards, attacks were launched from all directions with various weapons.

""What!"

 I played all of them with a single right-handed sword.

'Why? Are you not an unemployed person?
I'm not employed?
Then how the hell do you prevent it from happening?
With normal hands.
That's not possible!
No, but you've actually done it.

 I had easily broken through the siege.

''Even so, you're still a few steps inferior to the [senior position] of the Sword City.

 He was probably sitting on his [senior position] anyway, and hadn't trained well.

''Sword City...?''
''Come to think of it, I've heard of it........ A few years ago, there was a boy who was unemployed and yet stood at the top of the Sword City...
That's probably me.
"Uh, don't lie to me! That was supposed to be just a rumor!
There's no way you could do that!
Well, if you don't believe me, that's fine.

 With them behind me, I went out into the hallway.
 The immediate area was like a balcony, which was just fine.

 The flight magic sent me soaring into the sky.
 Let's say I leave the city like this.

''Oh, that's green magic!
Do you think you can do magic?
d*mn it, he's going to get away!
No, don't worry! The sky is their territory! Get them out there now!

 As they were flying out of the city, something was rapidly approaching from behind.

''Oaaaahhhh!''

 That thing that let out a roar is a wyvern, a type of dragon.
 A person with a spear is riding on its back.

It's not a bad idea. Or is it just a trainer?

 That's three sets in all.
 Apparently, he's been chasing me.
 He's not going to let me get away with it.

 It was a wyvern, small for a dragon, but specialized in its ability to fly.
 It flew through the air at a breakneck speed and caught up with him as he watched.

''It's no use running away!''
If they catch you quietly, you won't be food for these people!

 The riders will advise you.

"Hmm. If you can catch it, try to catch it. I'm reasonably confident in my flying magic.

 I accelerated.
 The distance that had been closing begins to open up again.

'Bah, you idiot, why can't you catch up with me?
"This is a wyvern! d*mn it, more acceleration!
'Kueh-eh?'

 Well, that's about it.
 I just pulled away from the wyvern and said goodbye to the city.


   ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.


Why did you...? Why weren't my skills working on him...!

 The awakened lord - Grezzo - slammed his wild arm against the desk as if he were throwing a tantrum.

 The abomination of letting the man who had beaten him, who was supposed to reign supreme in the city, get away with it.
 But more than that, he was terribly upset.

 To him, the Absolute Order was absolute.

 He was born the third son of a low class nobleman, and no one expected him to have a future, but he was able to rise to the top of the city because he was given the profession of the Great Lord and mastered the highest skill of Absolute Order.
 Furthermore, he was able to transform the structure of the city into the strict hierarchical system that it is today.

 And yet, if an opponent appears for whom those skills are ineffective, it is a problem so great that it will shake the very fabric of the city.

 Of course, that man must be the only exception, but he issued a strict gag order to the people who were watching that scene, and he absolutely must not let the citizens know about this fact.

''Li, my lord! Oh my God!

 Just then a soldier with a change in blood came running in.
 Gresso yells in frustration.

''It's bad news? Now I'm thinking about the most important thing! What could be more difficult than that--
'The Empire! The imperial troops have invaded this city!
What--what did you say?





 It was only a small unit of about a dozen or so people that the Imperial State had sent to bring down the city.
 But just when you think it was easy to invade the city, they defeated the enemies one after another and reached the lord's castle in the blink of an eye.
 And before they knew it, they were confronting their lord.

''I am one of the eight imperial generals, my name is Elenella. I have come at the behest of His Majesty to bring our city under the control of our country. It appears that you are the lord of this city, Lord Gresso.

 A tall, silver-haired beauty identified herself on behalf of her unit.
 Even though she had gone through a fierce battle up to this point, she didn't break a single sweat and had a cool look on her face.
 Moreover, around her, the soldiers of this city were falling down while moaning.

''........How true, I am Lord Gresso.
''Let's be blunt. If you are under the control of our country, if the previous lords are competent, they may leave you as the head of the city. However, after reviewing the politics of the past, I have determined that this is not a case that is appropriate. Therefore, I am asking you to vacate your position as soon as possible.
