Chapter 481
Chapter 481
"Ha, I've been waiting for you to come."
"You guys, hold your hands!"
At the same time, a violent wave of magical power centered on him blows through the air, bringing a strange silence to the battlefield.
"Rid Bardia. I just wanted to have a little heart-to-heart talk with you."
."..... you call this a talk at this point in time?"
There is nothing to talk about now, but the knights who preceded us are lying wounded in the area.
Should I buy some time here?
I take one look at the wounded knights and look at Cross and the others.
Everyone immediately understood my intention and nodded in agreement.
After getting off Cookie's back and delivering the magic sword, the fox-man warriors followed Elba's instructions and cleared a path in front of them.
I move forward, receiving a gaze filled with hostility and murderous intent.
"What do you mean?"
"I told you, didn't I? I want to talk to you."
Elba thrust the tip of his battle-axe into the ground and sat down on his knees.
He is so large that he stands out from the rest of the fox people,......, or even abnormally so, and even when he sits cross-legged, his gaze is higher than mine.
Elba stared at me as if he were licking my cheek, and then his eyes suddenly narrowed and his mouth twisted.
"I'm going to be your right-hand man. Rid Bardia."
"...... what?"
He wrinkled his brow and revealed his displeasure, but he laughed happily.
"Heh, heh, heh. You should abandon your country and serve me. Turn over, ......ys."
I don't ...... think he'll listen to that."
The Bardia family's desire for a peaceful resolution was trampled on, and they used their younger siblings Amon and Citry as decoys, using Rick and the others as pawns to be discarded.
I would never think of working for a man like that.
But then a question came to my mind.
"Why did I have to do this in the first place?"
"This thing? Oh, you mean this war."
If you use your strength and leadership for the peace and prosperity of your tribe or clan, you can develop your territory as much as you want. You did not need to go to the trouble of making enemies of the House of Bardia and the Empire.
, "That's all right. It was all going to be swallowed up sooner or later.
"Swallow everything?"
Elba tilted his head and asked back, then stood up and spread his arms.
'Rid Bardia. The beastmen are the 'chosen one." The tribe chiefs are dancing around the foolish "Beast King" system and consuming power in vain. If only they had the power of the beast tribe, they could reign supreme in the world. ......"
Elba's mouth twisted eerily.
'So we decided to destroy everything. The attack on Bardia was the start of it. After winning this battle, I will become the Beast King and begin to act to reign supreme over the world. Therefore, I need a good pawn like 'you'."
Staring at me as if he was going to shoot me through the eye, Elba held out his right hand.
I say it again. Serve me and be my right hand man. Rid Bardia. Do this, and I will leave your precious 'things' untouched."
Slowly, he took one look at Cross and the others as he held out his right hand, and then he played his offered hand as hard as he could.
I wouldn't want to serve you 'even if it kills me'.
"Interesting. Then I'll just give you a taste of 'living hell' until you beg me for it."
Elba smiled wryly, and a violent wave of magical power swept over him.
e " ......⁉"
The brownish-black heat shimmered from his entire body as he managed to hold out and not get blown away.
"First, let's have a little fun."
He then turned his attention to the foxmen warriors.
"You stay out of this"
With a generous smile, Elba looked at the knights behind and beside me.
Rid Bardia. The knights who serve you are welcome to mess with me as they please, okay? Well, maybe I'll get too vigorous and turn around and kill them.
He spat out and began to laugh loudly and boldly.
"...... Elba."
Yeah?"
He stopped laughing when I called out his name and tilted his head to look at me.
I stared back at him sharply.
"You've been talking a lot of nonsense and talking nonsense for a while now. Are you an idiot? I don't care about your 'ambitions,' and I have no intention of serving you or forgiving you. I'm just here to crush you ...... and the Grandeks for meddling in Bardia's business."
"......"
A streak of blue runs down Elba's forehead and the air becomes heavy.
He turns his hand into a fist and his fingers make an intimidating sound.
"Fine . Not many people would dare me that much. That's what makes it worthwhile to educate you.'
"So, enough of this nonsense. Let's get on with it."
When I narrowed my eyes and smiled, I pulled out my sword and readied it in the lower position.
""': ....... First, let me show you how to talk."
As soon as he said that, Elba swung his fist down with all his might.
I leapt to my right to avoid it, and the earth cracked with his fist, causing the earth to shake.
I leapt again, got into his bosom, poured magic power into my magic sword, and swung it sharply.
Haaaaah!"
First, a blow. ...... Immediately after I thought so, I felt a response as if I had struck metal, and a high-pitched sound rang out.
"Gu⁉"
Although my hand was numb and I frowned, I was surprised at the phenomenon that occurred right away.
Elba had caught the magic sword with only his arm.
In the back of my mind, I recalled the time when Lagarde and Noir confronted Elba at the mansion.
It is called "Vajra," a strengthening of the physical attributes of earth, and is a strengthening magic specialized for defense. I guess "body strengthening" doesn't work, after all.
'Hmmm, what. All that bluster is just talk?"
"......There's no way this is going to be enough to end it."
He takes a pause in the bakkuu and then takes a lower stance again to concentrate and increase his magical power.
"Haaaaah!"
I called out the name of the memory in my mind, and a strong wave of magic power rolled around me, blowing away some of the enemy soldiers nearby.
'Hou ....... You can use "Body Strengthening Type 2" more effectively than before. But that's just ......."
Elba cowered his shoulders and shook his head, "Oraaaaah! and a girl covered in white fur and wearing red armor attacked with a kicking technique.
Elba, however, did not move an eyebrow and caught the kick with her neck.
"Ovelia⁉"
"Ku......⁉"
Her expression clouded, she backflipped to my side, rubbed her shin, and crouched down on the spot.
She rubbed the shin of her foot and squatted down on the spot.
"...... What are you doing?"
Everyone was taken aback by Ovelia's words and actions, and the tense atmosphere loosened up.
In the midst of this, Elba twisted his head and glared at her sharply.
"What is it, you little rabbit man child? What do you want from me?"
"Oh, I've got something big. Damn fox."
She got up and was defeated.
