The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring - The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 252

252 – 242. Villains in the desert-2

It was heinous for one power to monopolize the main water source in the desert terrain where water is hard to find.

Water is an essential element for humans and is directly related to life and death.

The Redscale Tribe has monopolized such precious water.

‘I’d understand if the Redscales dug out the sand to create an oasis…….’

If you listen to its origin, it is said that it is a natural oasis that has been formed from generation to generation without drying up since ancient times.

Even when the common property of everyone living in the desert was certain, the red scales monopolized it by force.

I couldn’t tolerate the corrupting behavior of such red scales.

“Is it delicious?”

“Kreung!”

The archery that preyed on the red scale thieves was grooming itself while licking its bloody paws.

A man who cries with satisfaction when he says he ate properly after a long time.

As soon as the meal was finished, there was no other cat until it curled up and tried to sleep.

From now on, you will have to fight against the Red Scales who come to Oasis, so I let you do what you want.

“Anyway, why do you guys stay here instead of going? Didn’t you get the water you wanted so much?”

“I would like to know your intentions.”

“Didn’t I just explain it? To destroy the little red lizard and his minions.”

“I don’t really understand what you said. Apart from the Red Scales, aren’t dragons something that humans can’t stand against?”

“…… Who decided that?”

“Yes?”

“You mean humans can’t fight dragons. Who said that?”

“No one else has ever made a public announcement like that. But common sense…….”

“Don’t be bound by common sense. If we make assumptions like that, there will be no development in the future of mankind.”

I got off the back of the bow and approached the old lady.

At the same time, he pulled out his sword and aimed it at his neck, and those around him urgently took out their weapons to protect him.

But the old lady beckoned and made everyone back away.

He was an old man with a lot of guts.

“Do you think the sword pointed at your neck must have existed since the beginning of time?”

“How could that be? It is a product of human evolution.”

“Yes, the ignorant man who cut down stones made a weapon that could be killed with a single knife. Is that all? Humanity is getting stronger by realizing that it is ‘martial arts’ that is not limited to martial arts. Do you think that a human with such infinite potential would not be able to kill a dragon?”

“…… As you said, the relationship between humans and dragons may be reversed in the distant future. But not now. Until future generations are strong enough to raise the beacon, sadly, we think we should bow our heads to the dragon.”

“You don’t know how to see the times. Future offspring? You don’t have to think about posterity. Because humans are already strong enough.”

f*ck-!

I snapped my fingers as I drew my sword away.

Chaos, a black dog the same size as the archery skill, jumped out of my shadow and gently lowered its body.

Leaving behind those who were astonished by the appearance of the new monster, I got on top of the chaos.

The destination was decided in advance, so all I had to do was leave.

“Finally, solve the current problems you are facing by yourself without thinking about leaving them to future generations. You idiots.”

With a bitter sound as a signal, Chaos kicked off the sand and moved forward.

As the scene in front of my eyes changed in an instant, the people who felt close just before looked pea size.

Chaos running at full speed from the start.

As if I liked the sandy terrain, I pushed my tongue out and moved forward vigorously.

I could have started a little slower…….

“Well, that’s it.”

It cut off the main supply source of the red scales, and planted the embers of resistance in the forces that were opposed to them.

Considering that was a sufficient achievement, I fell flat on the back of chaos.

“Wake me up when I arrive.”

“Wow!”

It was extremely hot in the desert, but the strong wind blowing in front of me made me feel good.

It was perfect for a short break.

***

The nest of the red dragon in the volcanic region.

There was a human who arrived sweating profusely in a place where it was so hot that it was difficult to step.

Wrapped in a cloth dyed in red, he knelt down as soon as he arrived in front of Ignit.

Then, as if pleading for something, he squeezed his voice and lowered his head.

“What did you just say?”

“Preparations for war are not going smoothly because of the mysterious monster that has settled in the oasis, which is the main water source!”

“So you are asking me to take care of the one monster that you guys couldn’t solve?”

“I’m sorry, but it was an opponent that we could not use our hands on!”

“There is a degree of incompetence. In the meantime, I provided you with my scales and claws to prepare for war, but can’t you catch one of those monsters?”

“I also mobilized the dragon’s arms that Ignit gave me, but the news of the warriors who left for the oasis… !”

“Are you saying my scales and claws s*uck?”

“That’s not true! This is the fault of our warriors who were generally insufficient!”

The chief of the Crimson Scale Tribal who can’t even move due to the death that oppresses his whole body.

As the burdensome silence passed, the chief who bowed his head wished that he would rather kill himself.

I was thinking that if I was destined to die anyway, it would be better to die quickly and comfortably.

However, Ignit’s words afterward were completely different from the reaction the chief had expected.

“Your incompetence is not enough to annihilate them right now, but the situation is not going well, so I will help you this time.”

“Go, thank you!”

“Get out of here. I don’t even want to see you.”

“Yes!”

Continuing from the last time, Ignit was not happy with the humans who came to him this time.

He was hot-tempered, grinding his teeth and crinkling his forehead.

He was grunting because the human he had accepted to be his servant was more incompetent than he could have imagined.

“Hey, Green!”

“Did you call me?”

“Yes. I have something for you to do.”

“…… Are you trying to make me do what the human from before asked you to do?”

“It’s nice not to have to explain painfully.”

“Dismissed. The deal I was taking was to help in the war, not to be your errand boy.”

“Is it okay to go out like that? Is there a hostage who is desperately looking for you?”

“…… I get it. Instead, it would be better to be determined firmly. This disgrace will surely make you forget and pay the price!”

“Do whatever you want.”

The hostage Ignit mentioned had already left his grasp.

But Ignit believes that Ernia doesn’t know about it, and is creating an ingenious lie.

After the war. Since he intended to reveal that there were no hostages from the beginning, Ignit tried to treat Ernia as little as possible.

‘I’ll eat the marrow and throw it away.’

A relationship that was completely ruined by means of blackmail anyway.

There was no way to make a friendly relationship, and Ignit, who did not even intend to become friendly, was secretly planning to eliminate Ernia.

‘I’m already looking forward to the situation after the war.’

Ignit gets excited at the idea of disposing of the tools he ate and used in war while despising humans who were thorns in his eyes.

I could see how twisted a dragon he was.

‘It’s not long… !’

‘It’s not long… !’

Ignit, who believed that it would not take long for his imagination to become a reality, was delighted.

Not knowing that Ernia, leaving her nest, was drooling over her with an ecstatic expression.

While it was still unknown whose delusions would become reality, there was a good chance that at least one of them would become discouraged.

“Ow! Everyone is gathered.”

“You’re late! What if the most important commander is late!”

“Sorry for being late.”

“My lord! Have you been at peace?”

“I have always been unscathed. Anyway, I came because everything was ready.”

“Otherwise, everyone was stomping their feet and waiting.”

“Ugh… ! I am very sorry to say that.”

“It’s okay! It’s never too late to start now!”

An abandoned ruin in the middle of the desert.

There was only an old tent to block the sand wind, and Bern and his precious lovers were gathered there.

Those who have been together for a long time, such as René, Rin, and Hades, of course attended.

Relatively recently known people like Cestia, Meryl, and Lily also came to help him.

Finally, hundreds of Orichalcon ants are lurking beneath the sand, and Marjan, their representative, also attended.

“Kuhm! As everyone knows, there is one reason why we are here. It is to end the life of Ignit, the ruler of the West.”

After looking around at all the personnel, Vern cleared his throat and started the briefing.

As the general manager of this plan, he took off his jokes and took a serious attitude.

“There are so many difficulties we have to go through to do that. Right now, the number of Redscale tribesmen who follow him is over 3 million.”

Assuming that all of them were enemies, Vern tapped on the map of the west that Sestia had brought with him.

As a signal to keep an eye on this side, everyone’s eyes focused on the map.

Confirming that, Vern continued his explanation.

“Looking at the number of red dots on the map, the whole area is full of enemies. It’s hard to see a place where there are no enemies. In a situation like this, it’s common to form a detached unit with elites to assassinate the enemy general, but unfortunately, that’s not possible.”

Bern refers to the particularly vividly painted points among the red dots.

He sighed heavily and frowned.

“There is a barrier on the way to Ignit’s lair, and if an unauthorized person passes through it, he must destroy all the Orbs of Protection at the point I pointed out.”

Vern raised the corner of his mouth again, having said that tricks wouldn’t work.

It was the face he often reflected when he was plotting evil plans.

Lovers who knew Bern well usually flinched as they watched his expression.

Because one of Bern’s charms was the way he committed and watched without thinking about the aftermath, so they accepted him with pleasure.

“Did you break the Orb of Protection from the beginning in order to reach the place where Ignit is? Unfortunately, I’m not going to do that right now. Because there will be a lot of red scale troops around the orb.”

From Noble mtl dot com

Bern removed his hand from the red dot and pointed at the blue dot this time.

“The place I am pointing to now is the source of drinking water used by the tribes in each region. One of them is already occupied by me.”

“Are you thinking of taking over all the drinking water sources and making your opponent dehydrated?”

“Tsk tsk!”

At Sestia’s guess, Vern waved his finger left and right, saying it wasn’t like that.

“It’s hard for us to defend all these places. So I’ll have to use a different number.”

“Are you thinking of poisoning the water?”

“Similar but slightly different. I’m not trying to kill all the humans living in the desert.”

“Then what method… ?”

“Hades, bring that.”

“Yes, lord!”

Hades, who had arrived at the rendezvous first, took out the box he had hidden in the sand.

The box was full of pink bottles.

“What is that?”

“Demi-rich is also a powerful estrous agent that makes bone marrow erupt. Effect verification has already been completed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hades’ cheeks turned reddish.

Anyone could tell who was used as the verification target.

“I’m going to administer this to all oases. It replenishes the population of the tribesmen that will be lacking due to the war. During the grand orgy, the orb will be broken.”

‘Give birth as much as we kill. Of course, it was the moment when the rare nonsense was born.
