Chapter 405 – Episode 405 – What Exactly Is the Mercenary King’s Weapon?

[Master, adventurers are gathering again in the Kingdom of Roseum.]

A regular report has been received from Stella who has infiltrated the Kingdom of Roseum.

Currently, Stella, along with Croker and Tega, has infiltrated the Kingdom of Roseum, collected all the happenings inside the kingdom, and reported it to the empire.

[Adventurers from all over the world seem to gather here. Just looking at the number of people on the list that has been secured right now, there are more than 2,000 people.]

As expected, adventurers were gathering again in the Kingdom of Roseum, as expected.

To let people know that the number of people was not a lie, Stella sent a report along with the list of adventurers she had secretly obtained.

[The purpose is to subdue the master. Right now, the city is overflowing with voices calling to kill the master.]

The reason why thousands of adventurers gathered in the Kingdom of Roseum is to kill the great evil Grid.

Just by taking Grid’s head, he can obtain as much gold and silver treasure as he wants, so it’s not hard to understand why everyone is cheering and wanting to kill him.
Because adventurers were the ones who could go back and forth between heaven and hell depending on whether they received a good request or not.

However, adventurers do not necessarily gather together for money.

[There are some who participate for the purpose of money, but the majority are those who want revenge on their master.]

There were many more people who participated simply because they didn’t need the prize money and wanted to kill Grid.

There had to be a lot.

They destroyed the guild headquarters on Ice Island and prevented adventurers from receiving any more requests, which made it difficult to make a living.

And, there were many people who lost their hometowns, friends, family, and lovers due to the war of conquest committed by Kangrim.
Since you have done so many things that deserve to be resented in many ways, there are bound to be many people seeking revenge.

Even if they are monsters, they will not give up on revenge.

Normally, when you hear news like this, you should be scared,

Kangrim was not surprised.

‘It looks like the trick worked.’

She was just satisfied with the fact that she had lured her adventurers with her own clumsy work.

‘It gathers quickly because we spread the word.’

The adventurers who kept breaking into the empire for the sake of taking her head were so annoying.
Until now, it was just a joke, so I just left it alone, but it is getting more and more clever.

Just think back to the invasion of Ramid Island. It was well prevented at the time, but if Kang-rim hadn’t sensed her strange energy in time, it would have led to a catastrophe.

So Kangrim decided to stop her adventurers.
She decided to completely crush her so that she would never enter the empire again.
After subduing Arwen and Princess Aloy, Kangrim decided to put his plan to annihilate the adventurer forces into reality.

Currently, about two-thirds of the plan has been completed.

‘The stage is almost ready.’

Thanks to the provocation prepared by Kangrim, adventurers are gathering from all over the world.

The playground for the adventurers to play with is almost ready,

The number of people who will play with the adventurers at the playground has also been assigned.

Now all you have to do is complete one thing.

[Please check again whether the plan is properly prepared. There’s no way we’ll be defeated, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea to be careful.]

Yes, I will. I made a big mistake this time, so how could I not?

In response to Stella’s worries, Gangrim muttered to himself not to worry.

[And…]

Kang-rim frowned when she saw the last sentence.

[There is a saying that the weapon the mercenary king spoke of will finally be released. We are investigating this matter, but there is no progress. Sorry. I will somehow find out what that weapon is.]

“Hmm…”

Kang-rim, who had read all the words, crumpled her report with one hand. She crumpled and injected magical energy, and the report disappeared without a trace.

“It’s a weapon…”

“Is there some problem?”

Thalia, the owner of black messy hair standing next to me, asked.

Perhaps because I had made rice cakes a little while ago, my clothes were so wet that I could see the inside.

Of course, the area between the crotches was also wet,

Of course, the belly was also full-term.

If the due date is correct, you will give birth tomorrow.

Kanglim asked Thalia.

“Talia, what weapons do you think you have to fight against monsters?”

“A weapon to fight against monsters? Isn’t that the only weapon made at the Magic Tower? That missile you were talking about.”

A weapon that the kingdom’s army attempted to use in the decisive battle against Arwen but failed.

A weapon that ultimately helped defeat Arwen.

That was the only thing Thalia could answer to the question Kangrim asked.

Of course, that wasn’t the answer Kangrim wanted.

“Other than that. Is there anything other than missiles?”

“Hmm…”

Thalia thought about it carefully, but

“There isn’t one?”

Thalia came to a conclusion right away.

“Even if there is, is there anything other than eating black light and becoming a monster?”

“Really?”

“Why are you concerned about the report Stella sent?”

“That’s…”

Kangrim revealed about the weapon the mercenary king was hiding.

“It’s definitely suspicious.”

After hearing Kangrim’s story, Thalia nodded her head in understanding.

“If it were a monster, it would definitely be uproar. It’s strange to see it so quiet.”

If you awaken as a monster, the heavens and earth will shake.

Let’s think back to when they awakened.

Didn’t Fox Island shake significantly?

If something like this had been done within the Kingdom of Roseum, rumors would have definitely spread.

But if we don’t have something like that, doesn’t that mean we’re preparing for something else?

So, what is that?

After much thought, Thalia came to one conclusion.

“Couldn’t it be using an ancient relic? Like an iron wire manufacturing facility.”

Ancient relics show technological prowess that is thousands of years ahead of the current civilization.

With that technology, the empire was able to operate an iron ship fleet and create an army of monsters.

Perhaps the Mercenary King has something comparable to the monster army, something created with ancient technology.

“If that’s the case, there is one thing that comes to mind…”

It was an advent that reminded me of the background screen I saw while playing the original game 〈 The Grace of the Fox 〉,

“That won’t be available, is it possible?”

I immediately shook my head.

“What is it? Please tell me too.”

“It’s a robot.”

In response to Thalia’s question, Ganglim said so.

“Robot?”

“A being whose entire body is made of machinery. A being that only obeys our commands. Just like brainwashed people.”

“I know what it is, but is that what the mercenary king is preparing?”

“Maybe that’s it, but you have to control it yourself to use it. Because it’s too big.”

And, Kangrim started crying.

“Even if the mercenary king wanted to use it, he wouldn’t be able to. “It’s very rusty.”

The Kingdom of Roseum from the game 〈Fox’s Grace 〉 is shown after it was destroyed by Grid’s invasion.

And, there was a large hangar in the basement of the kingdom, and a robot that had been abandoned for a long time was sleeping in that hangar.

Of course, it only appears as a background screen, and there are no developments showing the robot moving or illustrations showing it moving.

The reason is simple. Because, as Kangrim said, it is rusty.

Not only the armor but also the internal parts could not withstand the passage of time and became rusty and worn out.

Kangrim remembered that the characters in the story also lamented that they could not be used in the fight against Grid for this reason.

Because I remembered that, I was able to confidently say that the Mercenary King could not be used.

“It won’t be any use using what you stole from us. It’s not a simple doll that can be moved just by using 〈 sand models 〉.”

“What about the Magic Tower? Wouldn’t that side do anything?”

“I doubt that the Magic Tower will mobilize everything to operate that robot. I also doubt that the Mercenary King will pour in that much money.”

Every single piece is rusty, so even if it is a magic tower, can it be replaced one by one?

Even if it were possible, do you think you could take down the empire’s monster army with just one weapon?

Kangrim thought that no matter what he did, it would be of no use, but

‘Something doesn’t feel right.’

She couldn’t shake the feeling that it was somehow ominous.

‘Let’s deal with the adventurers first.’

It can’t be erased, but let’s do what needs to be done first.

Think about the mercenary king later.

Having decided on that policy, Kangrim turned his gaze straight ahead.

“Anyway, the Phantom Thief lasts quite a long time.”

“Uuuuup, uuup, uuup, uuup!”

This is Thalia’s laboratory.

It is a solitary confinement room where experimental subjects are modified in a laboratory.

The solitary confinement had a chair reminiscent of a delivery table,

A woman with light green short hair was restrained in that chair.

“Whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop!”

He was being restrained and abused by tentacles.

“Pub, poop, poop, poop!”

The chest is entangled with black tentacles. The entangled tentacles were digging into the woman’s nipples and constantly injecting something into her.

There was also a tentacle stuck between the crotch.

The tentacle stuck in the vagina penetrated the cervix and reached the wall,

The tentacle stuck in the anus penetrated into the large intestine.

In that state, something was being injected.

There was also a tentacle stuck in its mouth. The tentacle that was stuck in the esophagus also kept injecting something.

The woman’s head was covered with a mass of tentacles.

Numerous thin tentacles emerged from the mass and burrowed into my head.

Like other tentacles, it was injecting something.

The tentacles continued to inject magical energy to subdue the original owner and establish a new owner.

‘Ah, I don’t like it. ‘Don’t come in, don’t come in, don’t come in!’

The phantom thief Arva and Tigone were fiercely resisting even at this moment.
