I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party - I Became the Burden of a Conscienceless Party chapter 134

134 – Felheim Senova (7)

Felheim Senova (7)

From noble mtl dot nete

From the beginning, Millia knew that Legion Commanders Nine and Six were the same person. After all, they were her masters.

But when the Master attacked, Milia could tell too.

This time, it is not a check. It is not a test. Her master has come with a sincere desire to destroy the warrior party and the fortress city.

The moment she saw that, Milia began to worry.

‘Who should I help?’

Esmeralda is my friend.

Despair Undertaker is the master.

Both of them are precious.

I didn’t know things would turn out like this.

Surely he didn’t know that the Master would attack his own party.

“……load.”

“Yes, Lady Millia.”

Millia, who was looking down the wall while holding her staff, softly called out the other person’s name at the sound of someone.

The conversation with the adjutant who was commanding in place of Felheim Senova on the walls ended.

“What should I do?”

“… … .”

“I do not know…….”

Millia muttered without even explaining the situation.

That meant that the embarrassment that Milia was feeling right now was great.

And what scares me the most is that she is troubled by her master’s orders.

Esmeralda is a friend. However, if the Master wanted her, she would take her even if it meant killing her.

Despair Undertaker also knew that, which is why he infiltrated Millia into the warrior party and brought things to this point without any explanation.

A doll without emotions.

A puppet that does whatever it is told.

But, Millia has changed. It’s been quite some time since that happened.

Desperate Undertaker, Millia herself didn’t know it.

That’s why everyone was so scared and unable to act when faced with a situation that they had taken for granted.

“I understand. When two close friends fight, it can be difficult to know whose side to take.”

“huh…….”

Jim’s eye level education.

Although what Millia was currently contemplating was an extremely heavy topic, Jim decided to approach it as lightly as possible.

Whatever the outcome, it will only hurt her.

“In times like that, it might be right not to take anyone’s side.”

The match is decided.

Even if Millia intervenes, there is no way to overturn it.

Of course, she could run away. In return, Millia would be branded a traitor in the warrior party.

“Or maybe adding one more option would be the answer.”

With those words, Jim grabbed Milia’s waist from behind and hugged her.

Then he covered Milia’s eyes with one hand and whispered in her ear.

“It’s just the two of us spending cozy time like this.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that.”

Immediate answer.

Rather than dwell on difficult problems, Milia decided to focus on more valuable things.

The downside of a wizardly mindset.

Millia felt the warmth of her burden with her master’s screams as background music.

***

The 6th and 9th Legions, half of which were comprised of the Undead Legion, lost their will to fight in an instant.

Considering the total number of legions, the Demon King’s army still had numbers that were no less than those of other legions, but it must have been terrifying to see such a huge number of undead troops collapsing in an instant.

And the soldiers of the fortress city did not pursue the fleeing remnants.

“… … .”

Because there was the death of a hero who had devoted himself to humanity for a long time.

And to honor that meaning, there was something that had to be done.

“… … What are you trying to do now?”

Esmeralda’s eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of the adjutant approaching her with his sword drawn.

Felheim Senova died a death befitting his duty as the commander of humanity. It is said that the death of a hero should not be insulted.

However, the adjutant stared at Esmeralda and shook his head.

His black Felheim Senova was right in front of his self-pierced heart, and he was clutching it as if he was going to throw it at any moment.

“This is right.”

“What is that… … !”

“Pelheim Senova is a rebel group that has risen up against the Empire. Even if we defeat Legion Commanders Six and Nine, will that really wash away their sins?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! You also… … if she didn’t betray you!”

“That’s why it’s like this.”

Phew!

The adjutant stabbed his sword into Felheim Senova’s heart.

She left a new scar, as if covering up the scars she had inflicted on herself.

“The war is not over. Fortress cities will continue to be needed. We need skilled soldiers, and that is us who have fought in countless battlefields.”

“no way…….”

Esmeralda was unable to say anything more as she watched the adjutant shedding tears with a solemn expression.

Because I could see why he had stabbed Felheim Senova’s body with his sword.

“We respect the will of Lord Felheim. We have dreamed that dream together and decided to move forward together to achieve it.”

So, this is what it is.

Because Felheim Senova cared more for the world than for her own honor.

They also decided to respect the will of Felheim Senova.

Instead of raising a hero who died after being betrayed by the empire, we raise a hero who dealt with traitors who rebelled against the empire.

That’s what this work is for.

That’s the only way for a fortress city to fully exist.

“This is the will of Lord Felheim. For that purpose, I colluded with the Imperial Army in advance and willingly became a traitor.”

Deal with the traitors who have become traitors to the fortress city.

In return, he is promoted to the new commander of the fortress city.

To continue the meaning.

Because the front lines of humanity must be protected.

“We will continue to hold the path. Even if you fail, we will protect the path so that someone can continue on it again.”

Even if foolish people create traitors out of nothing.

Aren’t the ones who protect them soldiers and heroes?

“Go ahead, warrior. We will take care of this place. We will maintain a strong fortress so that you can return whenever you feel tired.”

“… … .”

“If you understand the will of Lord Felheim, please accept this.”

The adjutant handed over the rapier used by Felheim Senova to Esmeralda. It was the symbol of the fortress city, a token that they had all pooled their money to give as a gift.

A collective will to unite for a dream.

“Please guide this sword and our dreams to the end of the road.”

“… …Can I ask your name?”

Esmeralda asked for the name of a middle-aged man who wanted to walk the path of Felheim Senova.

She could already see the other person’s name in her eyes, but she wanted to hear it directly from their mouth.

“It’s Cursus.”

“Yes, Sir Cursus. I swear that the sword you entrusted to me will surely lead me to the end of this path.”

“Then leave. Before people’s fears and greed overtake you.”

***

After finishing her conversation with Cursus, Esmeralda immediately began gathering the party members together.

He took care of the two people rolling around nearby, exhausted, and Garnet, who was particularly confident in her own curves, and called for Millia, who was on the wall.

“From now on, we will pack our bags and supplies as quickly as possible and leave for the Demon Realm.”

Everyone in the group, except Irina, nodded at her words.

Irina was so burned out supporting both the legion and the warriors that she had no complaints about Milia or Esmeralda.

Still, I’m sure you all know how things are going now.

Political meddling between the Empire and the fortress city. Getting involved in it can be a hassle and a waste of time.

What’s more, the problem is that their presence may also lead to suspicion among the people of the city.

It’s better not to let anyone know she was here.

“Okay, before I go pack my bags, let me ask you something. Where is your luggage?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to go pick it up now?”

Milia tilted her head in response to Esmeralda’s question.

Esmeralda nodded.

She just said something that could be misunderstood. It’s bound to be confusing when you’re looking for luggage while talking about luggage.

Esmeralda put it precisely.

“Aside from that luggage. A porter… … and now what the hell is this kid?”

What the hell is he doing?

Esmeralda thought about that for a moment, then realized another new fact.

“Where is Mr. Extra?”

The real porter really disappeared.

“Jim disappeared because he had something to do. And I haven’t seen Mr. Extra all day.”

“… … .”

Did he escape?

You said you wouldn’t run away, but was that all a bluff?

Esmeralda felt a chill run down her spine. Yes, that could be true. It might have been different in the past, but Jim’s head is still spinning these days.

“… … Let’s scatter and search.”

The warrior party’s routine has begun.

To be honest, it was a common occurrence.

***

When Esmeralda was complaining of fatigue and looking for her luggage.

Jim first encountered the extras who had escaped from the fortress city.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“As expected of a lieutenant colonel. You handle things very neatly.”

“Don’t make me do something like this again.”

“You too, Lieutenant Colonel, must be active.”

“Tsk.”

The extra clicked his tongue at Jim’s teasing and moved slightly to the side.

Then a new person appeared behind him.

Beautiful hair like ebony.

Yellow eyes.

A person covering his body with black membrane wings spreads his wings and reveals his face.

“It’s been a while.”

“Yes, Captain Jim too… … .”

Belonging to the Demon King’s Army Operations Staff Department.

It was the moment when Lieutenant General Liris and Jim met again.
