Solo Swordmaster - Chapter 449
#449. regret your arrogance
* * *
Roaring.
Detroit.
In the past, this place was the most industrially developed industrial city in the whole world.
However, the Great Depression destroyed many factories.
As the Russian Khanate became the factory of the world, the remaining factories failed to catch up with the technological gap that was gradually falling behind.
The result is today’s Detroit.
Trash cans in the United States of America.
A human paradise.
The end point of the deceased, etc.
It was one of the most notorious lawless cities in the United States, where all sorts of notoriety are attached.
Still, as a city that enjoyed prosperity in the past, traces of its former glory remained in Detroit.
Michigan Central Station is its symbol.
In the past, it was crowded with hundreds of trains, and even now it was a magnificent history in which armored trains, if not transcontinental trains, pass through several times a day.
But now.
The majestic building, a symbol of Detroit’s glory, was completely destroyed.
What remains is a grim wreck.
And in the meantime, there was only an armored train that was half buried, half melted and burning.
Considering that EK’s armored train was strong enough to withstand even a tolerable shell, it was truly a shocking sight.
What about the passengers who were on the train?
It was a sight that made me feel miserable certainty even without seeing it.
“These are rude things.”
But at this very moment.
There was no tension or pain in the voices that came from among the burning wreckage.
What is there is a languid feeling as if watching a trivial skit.
“It’s overkill to expect courtesy from criminals, my princess.”
And with a similarly calm voice, two women emerged from the flames.
It was an explosion that would have turned his body into powder even if he was cast iron.
Even in the midst of it, the appearance of two blonde beauties in unscathed dresses and cowboy costumes seemed unrealistic.
Even so, it wasn’t just the two of them that were so fine.
“Hehe, what is this?”
“Put me down! Get down!”
“Kyaaak!”
Maybe it’s because I’m out of luck.
Of course, as a result of using the armored train today, they were caught in the explosion together…
No, dozens of passengers who had to be caught up.
Originally, they should have been reduced to ashes, but they were appearing one after another following the two women.
Not on foot, but in the form of floating in the air as if being held by an invisible giant.
“Everyone, be quiet.”
Right.
But that’s for a while.
The moment Alice lightly snapped her fingers.
All the passengers who were struggling in the air became unable to even talk.
It was as if my mouth was closed.
Alice spoke clearly to the moaning passengers.
“If you have been harmed by this incident, ask for compensation from Fafnir. A fair reward will be given.”
Right.
right after that.
Dozens of passengers flew like arrows through the air and fell to the ground.
As soon as the intangible bondage disappeared, Charlotte jumped up and saw the passengers running away in a hurry, and Charlotte suddenly opened her mouth.
“You’re using Fafnir’s property to your heart’s content without asking my permission.”
“It is the duty of a leader to take care of the people.”
“If you want to do that duty, can’t you do it with money from the national treasury?”
“Anyway, everything in this country belongs to the princess, so there is no need to differentiate between them.”
“It makes sense.”
Even though she snorted lightly, Charlotte did not blame Ellis for her constant reply.
It wasn’t just because he was right.
They are the Golden Dragon clan.
Because they were more arrogant than any other member of the Seven Dragons and deserved it.
Aaaaaang!
right at that moment.
Another light flashed, and a beam of light fell from the sky and once again covered the two heads with heat.
Its brilliance is truly dazzling.
It was brighter than when the armored train was melted away, and the power was enhanced by that much.
One problem.
It was true that the heat wave, reminiscent of the sun, did not inflict a single wound on the two women.
As if blocked by an invisible barrier.
The beam of light was fading in vain, stopped a few meters overhead from the two women.
“If the prank is over, why don’t we just come out?”
The moment Charlotte languidly opened her mouth under such a blazing beam of light.
A single voice was heard.
“…For us, it was a gift instead of an invitation. As expected, it seems that the princess of the Seven Dragons is not crazy enough.”
A bewitching voice resounds.
A monstrous figure emerged in front of the two of them.
It was a woman with a hooded cape covering her face and upper body, revealing only her slim jawline and slender legs in leather pants.
There’s no way space travel is possible in this area.
Even so, Charlotte was not surprised to see a woman who seemed to have appeared beyond space.
He only responded to her words with an expression of insignificance.
“Isn’t it a matter of courtesy before discernment?”
“Don’t you know that the problem starts with a guest who came without asking permission and discusses manners?”
“That’s a funny joke.”
“What is funny?”
“How can it be ridiculous that an uninvited guest who has built a nest in a corner of the house without asking permission from the owner treats the owner as a guest?”
This continent is its own territory.
It is a place ruled by the Golden Dragon clan since the distant Bronze Age.
Seeing the Liberation Brigade, which was created just a few decades ago, pretending to be the owner, there is no comedy.
Looking at Charlotte talking proudly.
She was speechless for a moment.
If those words were deliberately intended to provoke him, he would have coldly accepted them as psychological warfare.
It seems like a very obvious fact.
Seeing Charlotte speak with a face without even the slightest suspicion made me feel as if I had become a cockroach or a parasite.
But the agitation was short-lived.
Recovering her composure, she licked her lips slightly.
“You are not wrong. Anyway, as a criminal organization, the Seven Dragons are our ancestors.”
“It’s fortunate that the subject is not.”
“…”
No matter how many people talk about princesses, what kind of landlord is the head of a criminal organization called the Demonic Cult?
I said it sarcastically at best.
Even though her mouth trembled at the positivity that came back so naturally, she managed to keep a smile and continued.
“It’s late, but let me introduce you. I came to invite the princess on behalf of the Rubber Liberation Brigade.”
“It’s an invitation…”
The moment I heard that.
Charlotte put on an interesting look for the first time.
“Are you trying to detain me?”
“Everyone, it’s because the damage the Seven Dragons have done to us is not the only one. You must make up for the damage.”
“Do you think that is possible?”
“Of course, it would be difficult for me alone.”
Rubber humbly admitted that he lacked himself.
What kind of monsters are the seven princesses.
She wasn’t stupid enough to still not know.
Even in the Liberation Brigade, there are at least three people who can face the princess, at least four.
The rest of the ghosts knew from their previous records that even if they used 『Descent of the Constellation』, they would not be able to become opponents of the princess.
Nevertheless, there was a reason why Rubber came out confidently.
“But what if I am not alone?”
Squeak.
That was the moment.
That is why other people appeared next to the rubber.
With deep smiles among the three comrades who, like himself, covered their faces with hooded caves.
Rubber opened his mouth.
“Descent of the Constellation VI Lovers.”
“Descent of the Constellation VIII Sun.”
“Descent Ⅸ Curse.”
“Descent Ⅺ Tower.”
The moment when the voices of the four overlapped and four stars fell from the distant sky.
Kwaaang!
―Pink fog spreads.
—Amid the blazing sun.
―The magic bullet shooter opened his eyes.
―A huge tower rose.
Wearing armor mixed with mechanical parts.
Four monsters holding chain spear rifle shovels.
Rubber, along with his comrades who radiate overwhelming momentum, had a cruel smile.
The four of them are the real ghosts of the Liberation Brigade, different from the temporary ghosts created by Demon with Plato’s carving knife.
Of course, all of them are great.
They were superhumans who could exert power comparable to that of the monarch by equipping themselves with the Holy Spirit.
Besides, this wasn’t the only means Rubber had prepared.
Koo Goo Goo!
Dozens of multi-legged tanks or combat helicopters modified with the player’s skills.
Even well over 10,000 player criminals armed with heavy weapons and surrounded on all sides.
Its majesty is truly overwhelming.
Even compared to the 7 major guilds, it was by no means insufficient.
Rubber smiled coldly at Charlotte, who had only one aide, compared to herself who had such a powerful army and comrades behind her.
“You regret your arrogance for daring to come here alone.”
* * *
“The Liberation Brigade is strong.”
Li Qingyu said calmly.
For a princess of the Seven Dragons, she is unexpectedly highly regarded.
But it was an undeniable fact.
The Liberation Brigade is the world’s largest player-criminal organization.
Their power cannot be small in this iron age where players have taken hegemony.
Until now, due to the nature of criminal organizations, it was easy to defeat them individually because they were scattered around the world and operated individually.
But what if they join forces?
It would be a huge force comparable to the 7 guilds or even surpassing them in some way.
“Especially, the 12 Ghosts are opponents that we cannot be vigilant against.”
He just died in vain because he met Limon.
Each of the specters who used Descent of the Constellation clearly had strength and abilities comparable to that of a monarch.
It also meant that each specter was a being that could threaten the princess of the Seven Dragons.
The fact that there were 12 such superhumans in one organization was proof of how absurd the Liberation Brigade was.
“There are 7 ghosts left in the Liberation Brigade. In the meantime, I don’t know how many ghosts I might have replenished, but…”
How many powers would there really be in the base of the Liberation Brigade?
And if you are yourself, how many people can you handle?
At the end of a cold calculation.
Li Qingyu smiled bitterly.
“Anyway, I don’t want to fight head-on.”
“It is the same. Running away is the answer. Fighting is stupid.”
Ainsha also agreed with an expressionless face.
It wasn’t just that they were the Black Dragon Clan, who were the weakest in head-to-head combat, and the White Dragon Clan, who were good at escaping.
It was because fighting an all-out war with the Liberation Brigade in the first place was that dangerous and difficult.
“Even other clans will have to suffer enormous damage if they fight them head-on.”
Li Qingyu pointed out coldly.
Dealing with two or more ghosts at once was something that even the girls would risk their lives for.
It would be possible if we used the ancestral rite of passage, but considering that Yonghwa itself was originally an act close to taboo, it was even more so.
mobilize troops
Gather the clan’s sabers.
Plan thoroughly and prepare.
It is natural for him to mobilize the entire force of his clan, even against a single opponent.
It was an existence called the absolute class, the superman among superhumans who alone could change the world.
The fact that the Seven Dragons did not easily push the teenage guilds out of each territory can be seen.
In that sense, Charlotte’s actions in visiting the headquarters of the Liberation Brigade without her clan’s armed forces were reckless.
“If other princesses did that, they might be fighting pretty fiercely by now. But…”
“Charlotte is different.”
“Yes, it is.”
So it was.
Li Qingyu laughed bitterly.
Everything she just said was premised on a princess other than Charlotte.
“I don’t know what would happen if the Liberation Brigade had already seen through Charlotte’s movements and gathered all the remaining ghosts to prepare.”
“At least, if there is a higher rank ghost, it will be possible to run away.”
“But if the Liberation Brigade made the preparations even a little lax…”
What did it mean that the Gold Dragon Princess defeated the Sword Master in the past?
Why is Charlotte the strongest in the Seven Dragons?
Is it called the perfect princess?
What will happen if the Liberation Brigade,
without knowing why , judges Charlotte by the same standard as other princesses and tries to catch her off guard or arrogantly try to capture her alive.
not a prophet
Even if you don’t look at the reason of the sky.
A future that is too easy to know.
Ainsha asserted with an expressionless face as always.
“The Liberation Brigade will be annihilated.”
