The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 284
Episode 284
“Are you really saying you don’t need our help?”
“If you are talking about conquering the underground city, then yes. But you do realize that it is up to you to protect it once it is occupied, right?”
“That’s natural, but…”
Warchief Taro looked like he had a hard time believing it.
It was a place that could not be penetrated even by a large-scale offensive that even mobilized Gigant troops.
No matter how outstanding Raoul’s skills are for a human, how can one easily believe that he can take over the underground city by himself?
The elders below the warchief, who were initially passive about the transaction, soon became very proactive.
The reason was, of course, that the conditions presented by Raoul were too lenient from the dwarves’ perspective.
An opportunity to process ultra-rare materials that ignite your craftsmanship.
In addition, the southern front line can be greatly reduced.
Being able to study ‘that thing’ directly was nothing short of luck.
“It’s good that you don’t have to overdo it. “If it’s because of the terms of the deal, we can make enough concessions…”
“Thank you for your consideration, but I personally have some business to attend to with those guys.”
The dwarves were worried that Raoul might get hurt or run into trouble and the deal would be broken.
In some ways, Raoul laughed at their innocent attitude, but he had no intention of changing his mind.
‘There is no need to get into debt with the help of the dwarves here. Rather, we need to clearly recognize it.’
What power does Raoul have?
And how much concessions is Raoul making to the dwarves?
Wouldn’t that give us an advantage in establishing relationships with dwarves in the future?
“Isn’t it necessary to check what kind of power ‘this thing’ has anyway?”
When Raoul raised his wrist, all dwarves’ eyes turned to it.
The third condition presented by Raoul.
It was a request to unseal the power armor ‘Regnator’.
The common opinion of Ravel and Cardenas, who had lived for a long time, was that dwarves were deeply involved in the creation of Regnator.
And among the dwarves, the highest authority on Gigant and power armor was Chief Taro, whose eyes were shining brightly right in front of me.
“Then let us begin. “Please keep your promise not to intervene.”
Raoul turned and walked out of the cave.
A tall snowy mountain completely covered in pure white snow filled my eyes.
‘But thanks to you, I came here comfortably.’
Dwarves were moving through various underground passages connected to the underground city.
It was a very complex and difficult-to-find engine device, so players couldn’t even discover it.
Coming through such an underground passage, it was not cold and they arrived near their destination while avoiding the eyes of the imperial army.
“Kane.”
“Yes Master.”
Whilick.
When did it come along?
I felt the dwarves following me flinch, perhaps because of Kane’s sudden appearance.
‘Where did that person come from?’
‘…I can’t even sense it! ‘Could it be that human too?’
Raoul asked, turning his back on the agitated dwarves.
“What is the situation?”
“There are no major changes. “I don’t think I’ve felt anything yet.”
“I guess so. Anyway, this one also moved in small numbers. What is the expected medical history?”
“About five thousand. Articles over fifty. The wizard is also estimated to be over fifty. And looking at the situation in other underground cities on the Empire side, it is estimated that one or two superhumans are staying there. However, the number of horsemen or undead troops was not known. sorry.”
“are you okay. “It doesn’t matter how much they have.”
Unlike human soldiers who are exposed to the outside world, horse soldiers and undead wait in a state of semi-sleep when no battle is taking place.
Therefore, it was natural that it would not be easy to estimate the number unless one encountered it directly.
“What is the deployment of the crew?”
“It is complete. No one will be able to escape.”
“good. “Let’s get started.”
No matter how much his skills improved, Raoul did not let down his guard.
I am confident that I can attack it on my own anyway, but you never know when and where a variable may arise.
So, I brought along some trustworthy subordinates and they were already located near the target underground city.
Pat Pabbat!
Raoul and Kane’s new model crossed the snow field in an instant.
Their footprints, moving more than a dozen meters at a time, were not recorded at all in the snow.
“this. “Let’s hurry!”
“Let’s go!”
Buuuung.
In contrast, the dwarves were equipped with equipment that resembled skis.
The horsepower-powered propulsion device moved smoothly through the snow.
However, Raoul and Kane were already moving far apart.
* * *
“Are you here?”
A group of wizards bowed to Raoul at the bottom of the slope.
“You worked hard. “Go back first.”
“I wish you good luck.”
A small magic circle appeared and the wizards disappeared.
“Please give me a label.”
“Leave it to me.”
The label flew down and stuck its wand into the magic circle that the wizards had built in advance.
“Barrier activated!”
Guuuung.
A translucent spherical barrier surrounded the surrounding area.
This would have stopped all communication magic and teleportation magic circles from the underground city to the outside.
“What? Fairy?”
“It’s not just a fairy! Look at that enormous barrier. “It must be the Fairy Queen!”
“But why are fairies with humans?”
The group of dwarves who arrived late were buzzing.
But Raoul spoke without caring about their reactions.
“Please come back in 5 minutes. “I will remove the obstacles.”
And then he went straight into the passage to the underground city all by himself…
“You really don’t need our help?”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
“What if I’m in danger?”
“I have to save it. That’s no problem, right? Then humans might take out more valuable materials.”
“Oh oh.”
The dwarves’ eyes lit up, but they didn’t know if they would have a chance to use their power.
‘hmm. ‘Is it neat?’
The passage to the underground city had already been cleared by Kane.
The corpses leaning against the wall as if asleep looked as if they had no idea what had happened to them.
Although almost no troops were deployed anyway, Kane’s secretive skills seemed to have improved further since he became a master.
Jump and jump.
Even though it was the same underground city, it felt completely different.
If the dwarves’ underground city had a bright and exciting steampunk style, this is it.
‘It’s terribly cold and dreary.’
The light shining from the ceiling was similar, but the plain near the city in the distance was dry.
And when we finally reached the entrance to the plains.
‘I think I understand why the dwarves suffered.’
What was clearly supposed to be a plain had turned into a maze with furrows several meters deep.
Just looking at that sticky energy that looked like a swamp was repulsive.
What you can feel inside is definitely fraud.
‘There’s an ambush of undead and horsemen.’
It seemed difficult to even enter the city without overturning the entire plain.
“Kane. “Remain here with Nakia and protect the dwarves.”
“Yes Master.”
“Nakia, put up a barrier to prevent them from getting caught up in the battlefield.”
“Okay.”
With Nakia’s alchemy magic, we could build a safe place to watch without being noticed by them.
And Pierce and the other five Masters, who had not yet appeared, would secure the secret passage and prevent the enemies from escaping.
‘I’m sorry, but you have to be an example today.’
Raoul stared at the underground city in the distance with cold eyes.
This was both a demonstration of power to the dwarves and a warning to the empire.
“The dwarves have entered.”
Kane’s message came in.
Charalak.
Raoul activated his power armor.
Silver metal covered his entire body.
‘Activate Regnator.’
Faaat.
The golden glow that started from the bracelet covered the silver metal again.
The antique golden armor revealed its true form.
“Oh, is that the legendary power armor Regnator!”
“It really doesn’t look any different from the record!”
“I never thought I would be able to see Regnator in the flesh.”
That time when the dwarves were watching Raoul with ecstatic expressions.
Tung.
Raoul’s body rose into the air, slightly standing still, and silver-white phantom wings unfolded behind his back.
Faaah!
At incredible speed, Raoul’s new model flew right in front of the walls of the underground city.
The maze, which would have been a big obstacle for the dwarves, was no problem for Raoul.
Clink ding ding ding!
“It’s the enemy!”
“Everyone take up arms!”
There was no way the imperial army would not have noticed the golden knight floating in the sky above the underground cavity.
A noisy warning bell rang from the walls, and soldiers began to emerge from the buildings inside the city like a swarm of ants.
Raoul, who was looking down at the whole scene with an indifferent expression, slowly drew his sword. At the same time.
Kwagwagwagwa!
Thousands of weapon corps poured out like a tidal wave from the sub-space that opened behind them.
“What is that!”
“What are the old archers doing? “Shoot!”
“Shield soldier! Stop it!”
The corps of weapons spread out in a threatening formation and completely occupied the sky above the underground city.
The city was engulfed in darkness as the armies blocked the light, as if a dark cloud had hung over them.
ping! Grumble!
Arrows and magic began to fly towards Raoul in earnest.
‘It’s impossible.’
It wasn’t even possible to break through the telekinetic barrier that stretched far below Raoul.
‘Is it three? It seems like the Empire had some idea of the importance of this place.’
Raoul sensed three signs that appeared to be superhumans.
It is too much power to be deployed in a mid-sized underground city.
But I couldn’t feel the slightest tension on Raoul’s face.
“What are you doing!”
“Do you know that this is the territory of the Kranen Empire and then turn your back on it?”
Two masters wearing power armor belatedly appeared on the rooftop of a building in the center of the city.
And among the group of wizards who appeared, there was a wizard who gave off the energy of the 7th Circle.
“It looks like all the main players have gathered, so let’s get started.”
Raoul’s voice echoed throughout the city, and the expressions of the Imperial superhumans changed completely as they finally saw the weapons covering the sky above the city.
“Legion of weapons!”
“Count Raoul! “Why are you here?”
“damn. We need to request reinforcements…”
No matter how much the Imperial Intelligence Department had done, they now had a clear understanding of Raoul’s identity and capabilities.
His name was already at the top of the list of people of interest designated by the empire.
You can probably guess that it might be too much for two beginner masters and a 7th circle necromancer to handle.
But it was already too late.
Whilick.
The moment Raoul lowers his hand.
Thousands of weapons emitting dazzling golden mana struck the city with a roar like a bunch of lightning.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
Raoul’s dense mana, aiming for the highest level of Master, has been amplified by two power armors, and is also mixed with spiritual and divine power.
The destructive power of each weapon was so fearsome that even the knight’s mana blade could not easily block it.
An underground city after a bombing raid.
The only people standing there properly were three superhumans and a few knight wizards.
“Ugh. Any requests for reinforcements?”
The Imperial Master, who had struggled to block the aura-filled weapon, asked, but the wizard’s complexion had already turned pale.
“oh my god. Who on earth set up such an enormous barrier to obstruction?”
“damn. Now that it’s like this, let’s see the end! Don’t just watch the wizards, assist them!”
The masters who adjusted their swords jumped towards Raoul, and the wizards used floating magic and prepared a platform for them to rise into the air.
“die!”
Two black auror blades were aimed at Raoul, but Raoul didn’t even need to swing the sword.
Chang! Pubububung!
Instead, six weapons with dazzling auras dealt with them.
‘There’s nothing much to do, so I guess I should at least clean it up.’
Raoul glanced at them and turned his head to look at the plain.
Moment.
Paaaat!
The aura of brilliance heading towards the master level spread and colored the entire cavity like a tidal wave.
“Kaa!”
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
The masters who had raised a lot of dark magic floundered under the wave of intense divine power and fell after being struck by their swords.
Spoken.
The undead and horsemen hiding in the maze of the plains crawled out of the ground, trembling in pain.
And of course they became prey to the weapon army.
‘Are you really alone?’
‘Is that really a power that a single human can wield?’
‘If you really fought that person…!’
The dwarves who witnessed the power of Raoul, literally destroying a city single-handedly, could only swallow their saliva.
