Chapter 46: Hope
"Everyone! Help those brave men!"
"""""Yes!!!"""""
Behind my father were many Lizardmen.
And they took up their weapons and charged at the synthetic dragon Dranmeira.
"F-Father..."
"Brother was certainly strong."
"Eh?"
"But it wasn't just about strength! He never feared and had the courage to face hardships!"
"........."
"Therefore, Rumseil, I want you to have courage."
My father also took up arms and faced the synthetic dragon, Dranmeira.
"Father!"
"Do not be afraid! Stand together! There is a way ahead!"
-------
Don't shatter the limbs, they will come right back.
Aim for five places.
Cutting off the 4 limbs and a vocal organ somewhere in the mass of flesh.
"Wince! Here!"
"Ballista! Fire it!"
I found a way to deal with them
Make it impossible for them to walk, make it impossible for them to grasp, make it impossible for them to speak
Finally, using the ballista to pin them to the ground.
No magic. They are too many and it takes too long.
"Sermus!"
There are too many of them.
"Shit! Damn iiitt!"
"Gyaaaa! My aarm!"
Adventurers who had come down to draw the synthetic dragon, Dranmeira, away from the gate began to be eaten
"Wince! Cover Sermus!"
"Yes!"
I sent Wince
"Not yet! I can still fight!"
"Sermus!"
The synthetic dragon's fingers dig into Sermus' armor.
It squeezes Sermus' right arm.
"Guaaaaahh!"
I'm trying to help, but my hands are full right now.
Everyone is surrounded.
"We will not yield! We will not yield to you monsters! We will not yield!"
Still, they continued to resist. They never gave up.
So this is inevitable.
Not giving up has opened a small way out
"Fire it!"
With that call, the spears fell.
The aim was precise
None of them hit an ally.
"We're here to help!"
The spear was thrown by an armed lizardman.
“We will buy you time! Shiro-dono, take a definite action!”
That changed the game.
The tide was completely in our favor.
But we should not rejoice.
It took us until the next day to disable all the synthetic dragons.
We lost many adventurers and guards.
Sermus was carried by Rumseil.
His right arm had been torn to shreds.
"It's a cheap price as long as you have a life."
He said that and smiled
Strong...
"Shiro-dono!"
The lord came running
"Thank God you're all right."
"You too"
This one doesn't look so bad, just a few scratches and cuts.
"If only I'd been quicker."
"Don't take everything on yourself. It's a miracle we were able to handle those monsters."
"Sermus' arm..."
"Impossible, I can't fix it"
I see
"But one arm, wrist and all. He'll live. I'm rather glad about that."
"You're glad?"
"Yeah, even after going through such an experience, he still smiled. He will definitely become a good lord. Our family is safe."
That's one way of thinking about it.
From the wrist down... can he wear a prosthetic hand?
"Shiro-dono..."
This time the leader of the Lizardmen spoke.
“Chief… thank you very much for the reinforcements. We are grateful."
The lord deeply bows his head
The chief bowed as well.
"It is all right. We should be grateful as well."
"Grateful?"
"......"
"I don't know the details, but the Dragon God wishes to express his gratitude. He also wishes to see Shiro-dono."
"Me?"
"Yes..."
“I understand. Can I do it after we're done with everything?"
"No, I'd like you to head straight over..."
No, I can't just leave them to clean up the mess.
Dranmeira, the synthetic dragon, is still alive, just immobilized.
"I don't mind"
The lord replied.
"We'll take care of the rest. Go on."
"......I understand"
-----------
After explaining this to Wince, we quickly prepared.
And in front of the gate, the chief of the lizardmen was waiting alone.
"I already have my men waiting in the cave."
"Ah, thank you"
"I don't know the details..."
"Hmm?"
"That is a lie."
"A lie?"
"I know what's going to happen. But I cannot tell you."
"Why are you telling me now?"
"Because I want you to know."
"Know what?"
"...Because you are the one the Dragon God has been looking for. And the Dragon God will entrust it to you."
"Entrust..."
"Yes, it is up to you whether or not you want to accept it. Whatever you choose, we will never forget our gratitude to you."
very mysterious. thanks for the chapters!
