Episode 101

Chuck, chuck.

Suddenly, soldiers began marching through the city streets.

“What, what!?”

“Aren’t you the soldiers of the prophets?!”

“No, isn’t that… that thing that the collaborators lent me?”

Despite the cries of the surprised citizens, my skeletons continued on through the streets, and soon the streets of the entire city were blocked by the march of my soldiers.

By then, even the citizens who had been unaware of this seemed to have noticed.

Something is happening.

‘Knowing it doesn’t mean I can stop it.’

The skeletons who had escaped through the gate soon headed towards a path blocked by bushes that people rarely walked through, and even though they continued to escape through that path, the streets within the castle were blocked for half a day to the point where people could not move.

When that happened, people sensed that something was going on and all of them flocked to the lord’s castle where I was.

“Prophet! What is happening?”

“What are they! What is happening!?”

As if terrified, they knelt before the castle and prayed to the second prophet for an answer.

Shedding tears, rubbing her hands, and banging her head on the ground.

The second prophet, who was watching the scene through the window, said with a smile.

“Isn’t that funny?”

“What are you talking about?”

He didn’t do anything to me other than talk to me, probably because he thought I was exerting my power controlling the skeletons.

“You’re so surprised and run towards me like that, even though I just used a little bit of force. You’re like a pet.”

Then he opened the window and spoke in a stern voice.

“Listen.”

The people were momentarily startled by the thunderous voice, but soon they clasped their hands together in reverence and began to listen to the words of the second prophet in silence.

“They are going to do important work with the strength my collaborators have given them, so don’t be afraid.”

It was like watching a play performed by third-rate actors.

Some lines are stiff, some reactions are sloppy, some lines are artificial.

Of course, those people were also included in that play.

“Oh…… As expected……!”

“I believed it!”

“Prophet……!”

As I watched them believe his words, even bowing deeply, I began to wonder if perhaps this was a trap set by the fortress of bones for me.

I wonder if they bought these talented people and actors to do this kind of crappy play just to keep me around.

“……It subsides more easily than I thought.”

So, these words came out naturally, and the prophet returned to me with a blank expression and said this.

“What they fear is not my soldiers going to war.”

Squeak.

As he opened the door and went out, the prophet left a word behind.

“If anything happens, come to me right away.”

“All right.”

Rattling.

As soon as the guy closed the door, I immediately stopped pretending to do something and contacted Dracolich.

‘Dracolich, how are you doing now?’

[I just left the territory. I think I’ll get there sometime this evening, Father.]

‘Move forward a little faster.’

Waging war was not the end.

The only time this war can last is until the Bone Fortress and the rest of the Prophets return.

If the war continues until then, not only will they force a stop to the war, but there is also a very high chance that my identity will be revealed due to the evidence that was not destroyed.

That’s why speed is everything these days.

‘We have to make it look like we’ve reached a decision today.’

[It seems difficult to advance any further due to the presence of the third prophet’s soldiers… … .]

But on the other side, there are not only my skeletons but also the Prophet’s soldiers, making it difficult to increase speed.

In that case, I have no choice but to speed things up on my end.

‘I’ll say it again, don’t kill them all. Remember to let at least one or two people survive.’

[Yes, I understand.]

It shouldn’t end too late, but it shouldn’t end too early either.

Since my goal is to eliminate the two prophets when both formations are in a mud fight rather than one side being pushed back in an instant, I need to add more fuel to continue the war.

‘If we advance as fast as we can, we’ll arrive within the afternoon.’

[Okay, I’ll try my best to keep the atmosphere so that you don’t get to prepare as much as possible.]

Bam.

With the contact with the Dracolich thus cut off, I immediately gave orders to the undead connected to me.

‘Faster.’

Knock knock, knock knock.

The forms of the skeletons walking on two feet gradually become distorted.

The things they were holding on their arms and legs were stored inside their rib cages, and swords and shields that were too large to fit in were wedged between their rib cage and spine.

So, rather than being human, the skeletons took on a posture that seemed to be human-like.

Papat!

I started to move my legs towards the territory of the third prophet, running on all fours.

‘At this rate, we’ll get there in a few hours.’

Normally, the speed would be such that they would meet just before the sun sets and the moon rises to its center.

But now that I had brought it up by remodeling my undead, all that was left was to wait for my undead and the dracolich’s undead to properly meet.

It had been hours since the undead had been running around like beasts on all fours.

The sun that had been floating in the middle of the sky was now halfway through its day before disappearing behind the horizon.

‘……stop.’

Towering.

The skeletons running on all fours stopped moving.

Among them, the view of the largest and most solid-looking skeleton knight at the very front.

In the vision he shared with me, the colors of the armor and weapons in the bushes were reflecting the sunlight and sparkling.

“……You came right on time.”

I found myself laughing for a moment, but then I quietly gave them an order.

Swish.

The skeletons on all fours shook off the dirt stuck between their hand and arm bones and took out the weapons they had stored between their ribs.

Fortunately, the Dracolich guided them properly as planned, and it was still before sunset.

The sooner the engagement, the sooner the news will reach the ears of the prophets, and if that happens, war will break out in an instant.

That is why they were practically the key to signaling the start of the war.

Of course, they had already noticed us and were muttering something.

“Huh? Wait, stop…….”

-Tattadak!

They could not stop the skeletons rushing towards them, their jaws cracking.

“Uh…… Uh uh uh……!”

“Don’t panic! Get your bearings and get in sync with the Prophet’s soldiers!”

Even in the face of a sudden attack, they tried their best to resist.

They sometimes block the attacks of skeletons by raising their shields, and sometimes hide behind the undead Dracolichs behind them.

But since the undead they believed in were already in league with the undead they had attacked, there was no way for them to survive.

“Cough……!”

“Ugh…….”

All they can do is cut or stab themselves to death with a knife.

As the battle continued, the skeletons started pretending to fight each other and fell, while the humans started dying.

“Ugh…… Euaaaah!”

“Run! Run!”

As the war was nearing its end, some who judged it hopeless turned around and started running.

[Father, can we just let them go?]

The dracolich, who was watching the scene through the eyes of the undead, said so, but I thought a little differently.

It’s not necessary to have multiple people to tell you that you’ve lost.

‘One person is enough.’

[All right.]

With those words, several of the dracolich’s undead rushed out and cut them down.

In the end, only one of them survived, and the Dracolich and I immediately stopped the skeletons after confirming that all the remaining soldiers had died there.

‘It was perfect. Dracolich.’

[Thank you, Father.]

Since only one person returned alive as planned, it must have been assumed that a fight would eventually break out between the third or second prophets.

The two of them, who know full well that there is no benefit in taking a step back from a fight that has already begun, will mobilize their military as quickly as possible and start a war.

Of course, since we planned the start of the war to our liking, they ended up being nothing more than puppets who were dragged around as we expected.

[So, should I just go and tell them that I should prepare like this?]

‘Okay, now I’m going to go and instigate them.’

The sparks of war will grow even if left alone, but they will grow even bigger if fanned.

As soon as I told him that I had defeated the third prophet’s soldiers, the second prophet started laughing and rejoicing more than ever.

“Hahaha! Okay, so you’re saying the third guy got hit?”

The prophet thought about it for a moment while saying so.

Then suddenly he looked at me and asked me this.

“By the way, it seems like those guys also have members of the Bone Fortress like you?”

Are you still suspicious?

“……Yes, that was a huge number considering that I simply received it from the Bone Fortress.”

“Yeah… there’s someone like you… well, I expected that.”

The second prophet, who seemed to have expected it, stroked his chin for a long time and seemed to be in deep thought.

Finally, he even asked me this:

“Why do you think he is attached to the third prophet?”

“……I don’t know.”

He clicks his tongue and says, “Tsk, let’s say that.”

No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t the kind of reaction that someone who had anticipated this would have.

‘I guess that’s a lie.’

Well, that’s not what’s important right now.

“Anyway, we’ve successfully defeated that guy’s soldiers, so now it’s time to send our soldiers against them.”

“……Yeah, the guys who were going to get in my way are gone now. No one will be able to bother me.”

The ones who will definitely get in the way are the other prophets and the bone fortresses.

If the guy said something like that, it had to be certain.

“Rather than going through the trouble of catching those sly heretics, I think it would be better to focus my efforts on dealing with that third guy. Don’t you think so too?”

“That’s right.”

Of course, I’m talking about the right words.

He sits in a position that is almost like a lord, but all he does is think about invading other lords, and he doesn’t even have the awareness that he has to fight against a common enemy.

Is it because the floor is still low that there are only these types of people?

Well, that was good because it made it easier for me to do things my way.

“Dispatch all the troops under my command.”

Suddenly.

The second prophet, rising from his chair, returned to his expressionless face and muttered:

“This time, I’m going to cut off the third guy’s head.”

As expected, this guy is trying to start a war right away.

It was at that time that I was watching the guy’s actions flow as expected without a single mistake.

[The Commander has arrived.]

A familiar voice in my head.

It was originally a signal to announce the arrival of the spider who was with those guys called heretics.

“Did you bring Mephet?”

Of course, Spider’s mission wasn’t just to help the guys, but the rest of the missions were also completed, as Spider announced in a voice that seemed to be tired of it.

[That guy who’s yapping? I brought him.]

A rustling sound can be heard behind the spider’s voice as it speaks.

In other words, it was as if all the people I wanted to gather were already gathered here.

So now there was only one thing left for me to do, and that was to wait.

‘Even if it’s not me, those two will escalate the war on their own.’

And I just have to cut off their heads during the most intense war.

Then, until then, let’s try making some undead.

I’m talking about the undead that’s here to cut off the guys’ necks.

****

-Keeeeeek!

Hundreds of winged monsters flew in as if they were going to cover the sky.

As they all landed on the ground, a soft voice broke through the cries.

“Whoa, whoa, calm down. Calm down.”

It was a sound so small that it was barely audible amidst the cries, but even so, the birds that had been crying soon fell silent all at once.

“Oh my, you’re doing great!”

Evil, evil.

A man jumps down from the back of a monster that looks like a cross between a chicken and an eagle, with a sound of feathers being stroked.

In the man’s eyes there was a ruined village.

“……It’s already gone~ And there’s no trace left. Hmm…….”

The man’s eyes scanned the ruins, but nothing remained that could serve as evidence.

Footprints, residual energy, corpses, bloodstains… … .

Since their ability was to disappear without a trace, they would have given up right away, but the man couldn’t do that.

‘If the kid I mentioned above was involved… … then this much would be expected.’

Originally, they were people who did not interact with them or move around much.

But these guys suddenly moved all at once?

If it had anything to do with that guy called ‘Morse’ that the higher-ups were talking about, then he couldn’t back down like this.

If you happen to miss him, he’ll keep climbing up the floors.

The Bone Fortress will suffer massive damage again.

so.

“Don’t hide, come out and get to work.”

Didn’t you gather all the men of the bone fortress by burning them one by one on hundreds of birds?

To find any trace of that man, if any.

“Dragon Trainer, but…….”

“If you don’t find it, you’ll die.”

Somehow, I was confident that it would be here.

He began to search for traces of Morse.

Not knowing that Morse was plotting something far away from him.
