Chapter 290 – Chapter 30

The fall of the Cameld Kingdom and the reconstruction of the Lucy Arkenel Kingdom.

It was officially made known by Akina’s men, who delivered an official letter written by Lillian herself.

As the clouds created by the Cameld Kingdom cleared, they knew there was something, but no one expected that the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel would reappear.

That is why the western continent was embarrassed by the sudden reconstruction of the ruined country.

However, when the rulers of the Western Continent were busy figuring out how to deal with them, there were people who came to them.

They were untitled and independent builders, but no king refused their visit.

The same goes for King Penion de Val Galaig of Harlot Kingdom.

“You said Lillian was the princess of the Kingdom of Luciarkenel?”
“Yes. And now, with the unclean power of the aliens, we have regained the kingdom.”

Fenion, who had a private meeting with a high-ranking official from the Guardian Corps, was surprised to learn that Lillian was a princess.

The plot to steal the black soil from the Cameld Kingdom failed, but if it succeeded, it could increase the power of the royal family and reduce the power of the nobility.

In a kingdom devastated by a long war, overwhelming food production would soon become a source of strength.

Merchants in other countries will sell food, but of course they will sell it at a high price.

There, it would have been possible to establish absolute royal authority by destroying the farmland of the nobles or inducing them to take each other’s food or property.

For that plan, she played a card called Akina and the Holy Knights of Medelgard, but it failed because there was a strong person with a similar level to her in the Cameld Kingdom.

‘Did you destroy the Cameld Kingdom? How?’

In the Guardian Corps, it was said that they had won with the power of different species, but I wondered what kind of different species it was possible to have.

“If Princess Lillian had regained the kingdom on her own, she would have praised and supported her for erasing the traces of the filthy alien species. But she chose to accept the alien species. Therefore, our Guardian Corps, all the countries of the Western Continent, cooperated I request you to destroy the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel.”
“Hmm…I can’t help but agree with that opinion to some extent.”

Penion sympathized with the officer’s words.

The officer’s complexion brightened at the positive response and he tried to say something, but Fenion opened his mouth right away.

“But I can’t say for sure right now.”
“Why is that?”
“We, Harlot Kingdom, tried to purify the Cameld Kingdom.”

He announced that Akina and the Medelgard Holy Knights were unable to subdue the Cameld Kingdom.

“If Princess Lillian destroyed the Kingdom of Carmeld, it means that I have more power than her prepared power. Does the Guardian Corps know exactly what that power is?”
“That…I don’t know yet.”

The Guardian Corps, who had not witnessed Kaicent’s true abilities, could not fully evaluate Lillian’s party’s strength.

“The kingdom of Luciar Kenel asked me to congratulate you on the reconstruction after one month. I will send an envoy there, so you can participate in it too.

As a king of a kingdom, Penion proposed to check the power of the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel.

And other kings of the Western Continent were making the same proposal, thinking that they couldn’t fight without knowing the opponent’s strength.

Thus, the kingdom of Lucy Arkenel began to blow a new wind into the western continent.

*                           *

“You don’t see the slightest sign of civilization.”
“At a glance, it’s an unsuitable place for people to live.”

Meanwhile, Kaicent was in an undeveloped mountain range.

It is a mountain range called Kalak, and there are many monsters in a very rough terrain, so it is like a demonic place where ordinary humans cannot survive even for a day.

She originally intended to sneak alone, but Artie insisted on escorting her, so he arrived with her.

– It would be appropriate here. Master, the warehouse.-
“Huh.”

The reason I came here was because of Artemis’ request.

When the dimensional warehouse was opened, a small robot holding a smartphone-sized object with a small drill was revealed.

The small robot dropped an object, and the drill burrowed into the floor and quickly disappeared inside.

After a few minutes passed, a voice of joy was heard.

– Once I found a copper vein. This is the first wave you’ve ever seen. It’s like the metal of this world.-

Artemis was searching for a vein of ore with ultrasound.

-At first, the sound will resonate rather strongly. The two of you, please deal with the monsters coming in.-

Subsequently, in the dimensional warehouse, the excavation robot drilled the ground and disappeared into the depths in an instant.

However, the sound and vibration of the earth being dug up could not be stopped.

“Master.”
“Yes. It’s faster than I thought.”

The monsters that lived in these mountains showed different reactions to the heterogeneous noise.

Some monsters avoided the noise once, but some monsters reacted nervously.

“Booooo!”

Just like the monsters attacking Kaicent and Arty right now.

“It’s a spitzling! It attacks with sound, so be careful!”

A grotesque monster that was waist-high, crawled on all fours, and had its entire face filled with triplex shark teeth.

It is a monster that is sensitive to sound because it has no eyes, and attacks by emitting high frequencies with a special sound bag.

“I’ll take care of it.”
“Don’t attack the neck!”

Artie made a quick charge, using the vanguard’s booster to take out the three spitzlings.

The spitzlings opened their mouths and emitted high frequencies that would burst the eardrums of normal humans, but it was useless to Artie, who temporarily turned off her hearing devices.

The spitzlings, whose bodies were cut by the energy blades, squealed and struggled, but were easily expelled by Artie, who killed her by smashing her head.

“Nice job. I’ll do the capture.”
“No, master. For you to touch the corpses of filthy monsters…”
“I have to do this much.”

As soon as she confirmed killing her, Artie activated her auditory device, and she tried to capture instead of herself, but she couldn’t overcome Kai Sent’s insistence.

“If I remember correctly…Here.”

He carefully slashed the throats of the spitzlings with the blade and thrust his hand inside her.

“As I learned, it’s a unique texture.”

Taking out a chunk of gray flesh a little bigger than his fist, he placed the pouches in a previously prepared box enchanted with preservation magic.

When combined with other materials, they become crystals, so it was good to store monster by-products for now.

The two dealt with the monsters coming from all directions.

On the way, thanks to Artemis’ warning that there are monsters in the ground, there was a time when a dangerous moment was passed.

Among the monsters, sometimes even the master’s master could not easily kill them, but to Arty and Kaicent, they were only a little tougher than the other opponents.

Hearing the noise, killing the approaching monsters and meticulously capturing the by-products, he heard Artemis’ voice.

– Created passages connected to all veins. From now on, the full-fledged mining begins.-

Subsequently, robots similar in size to the robots entered first came out of the dimensional warehouse.

“Artemis. Don’t forget that we only allowed our equipment and for self-defense.”
-Yeah, I know. Do not worry.-

The reason the party came here was because Artemis requested resource development.

There is a mine that has existed since the days of the Cameld Kingdom, and skeleton miners are still mining in that mine.

But Artemis was not satisfied with that.

She said that in order to make this country prosperous in the future, we must prepare for the worst, and she formally requested mass production of battle armor worn by mercenaries.

Lillian was wary of losing his motivation as a king because it was comfortable with automation consisting only of machines.

She gave permission on the condition that it would be forbidden to make any weapons other than battle armor.

However, Artemis added weapons for self-defense and strengthening Kaicent’s party’s armament, and Lillian, who thought it didn’t matter that people fought with stronger equipment, allowed it.

– Unexpected strong enemies will pop up in the future. However, I will prepare an armament that can somehow deliver a blow to such an opponent.-

Admitting that she had been too complacent in the strength of Vannes, Artemis was determined not to put her master through such hardships again.

“Okay. But don’t overdo it.”
“That’s right. It’s not even a job to rule this world if you go berserk.”

No kidding, if Artemis really dreamed of world domination, he could create an army that would rule an entire planet in less than a year.

For her, she produced all kinds of weapons under the absolute ruler who ruled a galaxy.

Perhaps, to stop Artemis, the gods of this world would have to step forward.

-Do not worry. You made a promise in front of the owner, right? I will focus on the development and production of weapons for self-defense and your equipment.-

As she reassured the two, she placed an antenna through her robot.

Since it was an antenna as high as a fingertip, it would not be caught by monsters.

However, with only this, it is possible to receive hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.

“Master. Since you’ve been here, why don’t you gather other materials as well?”
“Yeah. I was going to suggest that too. Lillian kept in mind that she was of no help in the battle with Barnes.”

Normally, the king should not fight directly, but in the current situation without her talent, she will have to fight directly.

Priscilla’s prana level, which should be active externally as the knight captain of the kingdom, must also be raised.

-I’ll help you.-

Anticipating this to happen, Artemis released a scanner containing Kaicent’s knowledge.

A scanner equipped with her magnetic levitation device scanned the surroundings for the materials needed to craft the crystal.

All the two of you have to do is follow the scanner and collect it.

“I heard that this is a low-grade crystal material.”
“Still, save it. To foster an elite soldier, you need as many materials as possible.”

Kaisent decided to collect all kinds of crystal materials, while transplanting whole trees and bushes to grow plants and fruit materials in the dimensional warehouse.

Of course, the dimensional warehouse is slowly filling up with this and that, so I decided to avoid common or easily obtainable materials as much as possible.

As the two worked hard, Artemis was controlling the mining bots.

‘We will focus on producing weapons and equipment for self-defense, Master. However, this mountain range is very wide and there seem to be many strong-looking monsters.’

As Kai Sent struggled with her death from Vannes, she deliberately expanded her order.

She could have expanded on the old orders as well, but she just didn’t.

The fact that she couldn’t do anything during Kaicent’s crisis was more shocking than I thought.

*                           *

“Whoa~ I collected a lot~”
“At this level, we can start working on it.”
“Yes. I’ll go to the studio right away and make a crystal.”

Kaisent and Arty return to the capital by flying in the sky to feel the wind and speed, although they can reach it in an instant by teleporting.

“Hmm? Master, that’s it.”
“Wagon procession…?”

The first thing that came into the eyes of the two was a procession of carriages approaching the front door.

“Have envoys from other countries already arrived?”
“I don’t think so. Let’s check the flag pattern on the wagon.”

As Arty took out the knowledge of the other world she had learned, she checked the flag pattern on the carriage.

“Confirmation complete. They are the Majerukh Merchant.”
“The top of Majerukh?”
“It is a colossus that has its headquarters in the Dimenes Empire and exerts considerable influence on the Western Continent. But…”
“It’s so strange that you came at this timing.”

Even if the reconstruction of the kingdom of Lucy Arkenel was known, it was too soon for a corps of that size to arrive.

“Uh?”

At that time, Kaicent felt a wave of magic from behind and heard a familiar voice.

“Whooping♥ How have you been, baby?”
“Ah!? Who, sister!?”
“Yes~ I’m your sister~♥”
“Habeom.”

A black slit dress that barely covers the nipples, showing off her breasts larger than a watermelon, the curves of her voluptuous hips, and her slim waist and belly.

Purple hair and purple eyes that were both beautiful and thrillingly bewitching.

A voice that is lithe, but possesses a strange magical power that cannot be rejected.

“I wanted to see you as soon as possible, but I’m sorry I’m late♥ I’ve been busy with various things~♥”

Charlize Livelym, who teleported behind Kai Cent, hugged the boy who was no more than her waist high and buried his face between his breasts.
