The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 116
Episode 116:
Escape
That was the end of the useful information.
“Have you had any low income?”
“huh? iced coffee. “A little bit.”
After putting Palamir back in prison, I returned to my group.
But my mind was quite complicated.
Of course, it was because of the new destiny quest.
‘A true creature of God…’
I knew most of the quests in this game, but the fate quest was an element that was completely absent from the original.
So I had to think about it in advance.
‘First, let’s make a prediction based on the quest information.’
< True God's Creature >
[Destiny Quest] The appearance of a creature of unknown origin in this world was something no one expected. Go to the Khaibar Plateau and investigate it.
Objective: Move to Khaibar Plateau. Not yet known.
Expected reward: Not yet known.
There are several ways to gauge the content of a quest from the player’s perspective.
Of course, the most important thing is the description of the quest and the target reward…
‘Surprisingly, the title of the quest also plays a big part, right?’
This was especially true in situations where other information was confusing, like now.
First of all, the word ‘creation’ clearly meant Hael.
Since this guy was a homunculus and was created by someone, the title ‘creation’ was clearly Hael’s responsibility.
‘Then the problem here is the expression ‘true God…’
It was a very meaningful phrase.
As far as I know, there was no being in this world that could be called a ‘true god’.
There were 12 gods, but they were all beings with as many contradictions and flaws as the humans of the underworld.
That’s why I was in deep trouble.
…’God’ in a world where God has left or abandoned.
‘Wouldn’t it be better to make a list of those who are arrogant enough to call themselves true gods?’
Then there were several candidates.
Dragon Lord Eurovis.
Great Fairy King Mystery.
Tai Wong, ruler of Death Island.
‘And even Harmun, who drank it.’
There were several beings that could be pointed out like this.
I would have included Emperor Bareshan here, but it seemed unlikely that he would deal with a homunculus, so I excluded him.
Among these, the beings that were thought to be particularly related to Hael were Taiwong and Harmun.
Tai Wong, the ruler of Death Island and the highest-ranking necromancer, is basically an incredibly arrogant person…
‘At the same time, he is also a master of biological manipulation techniques to create homunculi.’
It was likely to be related to Hael’s birth.
There was no need to say more about the demon Harmun.
‘His personality is so perfect that he doesn’t even treat other gods as gods.’
That’s why Harmun was the number one culprit who could claim to be a ‘true god’.
Moreover, the place was said to be Kaibar Plateau.
In the setting of the original work, the Kaibar Plateau was a place where several demons who had been exiled to the human world after the end of the Demon World War lived as ‘hunters’ of their own race.
For that reason, there were related quests and some interesting elements related to demons and demons.
Nothing really came to mind yet.
‘What elements will Hael be connected to?…’
Also, how the goal and reward of this quest will be given.
I was both curious and anxious about it.

The situation on the battlefield was moving urgently.
Border Patrol Commander Montana Walt found it very exciting.
“Kuuuuuu! 3rd prince! The dynamics of the imperial army are changing. “It seems that 2nd Prince Lapishan noticed that you came here.”
“…is it so?”
“Until you got here, it seemed like they were trying to take it easy and put pressure on us, but their attitude quickly changed. “We formed a mobile unit on the left and right sides and started emptying the center.”
He smiled sharply, displaying the spirit of a sword master.
“This means that the blade is sharpened as if it will strike at any moment. how is it? Isn’t it fun? “Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
“….”
They say that among virtues, virtue is good virtue, and among them, the type that causes the most trouble is Mildeok.
Apparently, this man was secretly anticipating a war.
‘Aren’t you crazy?’
Well, since there are two sword masters here, I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try them out once.
They would obviously judge the magic power to be similar.
‘Because there’s Roxanne Sciorra and we have Erek Kaid.’
Well, it wasn’t unreasonable to think that it would be equal to 9-star and 9-star.
However, as far as I know, when the imperial army and the revolutionary army faced each other with armies of this size, the revolutionary army won only once out of ten.
No matter how visible the difference in power was, the reality was that it was difficult for the revolutionary army to defeat the imperial army.
‘In fact, the capabilities of each soldier are actually superior to that of the Revolutionary Army.’
Cause of defeat?
It was the power of a regularized and standardized military.
Even if the revolutionary army tries to break the front line using its own outstanding individual skills.
The imperial army was able to use its strong organizational power to make it impossible for them to move.
Although the nine-star swordsmen were superhumans, the people they faced were also close to superhumans.
So there was bound to be a limit….
‘Meanwhile, the revolutionary army was crushed as if it were being hit by an 8-ton truck with a broken steering wheel.’
Especially in a situation like now where the highest-ranking wizard and the wizards under his command had joined the unit, it was like hitting a manual tank, not a truck.
The existence of the Magic Tower, which served as the backbone of the frontline troops, was much more dangerous than everyone thought.
So, I had to keep that winning spirit as much as possible.
Leaving behind Captain Walt’s passionate gaze, I asked old Varmilo a question.
“High Priest, how has the preparation for ‘Apostles of Vengeance’ been going?”
Then he answered, scratching his gray beard.
“We still need about one more day. It’s almost done, but their condition is not yet stabilized. “I think tomorrow morning will be enough.”
“….”
Then it’s not a bad situation.
We just ran out of time.
‘Then there is one good move.’
There was an event where you could definitely earn a day.
I said, turning to Erek Kaid.
“Vice President, please send a messenger to the Imperial Army right away.”
“A lion? “What kind of lion are you talking about?”
“Surely you would send the Lion of the Plains? We are requesting a meeting. “I will meet Lapishan in person.”
If an incident occurs where the leaders of both sides meet in person, the start of the battle will inevitably be delayed.
Then Erek Kaid slowly nodded.
“Hmm, since no major battles have taken place yet, it is entirely possible for high-ranking commanders to have a meeting…”
However, he had a cautious look in his eyes.
“For us to propose it first may be seen as bowing down. “Then it could have a negative impact on the morale of our soldiers.”
“…ah.”
It made sense.
The leadership of the revolutionary army suggesting a meeting when no fighting had yet occurred could have been seen as a fearful request for peace.
Then, the morale of both armies will be greatly different.
‘We’re screwed and they’re screwed.’
Well, from the point of view of Deputy Commander Kaid and Captain Walt, they would have no choice but to take that into consideration.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
But I quietly smiled.
“Do not worry. Because that won’t happen.”
“Why? “Does the prince have other plans?”
“Let’s stop sending messengers and let the person who will be holding the meeting leave immediately. Then it will look a lot different, right? “It probably won’t have any effect on morale.”
Then, questions appeared on the faces of the leaders.
They looked at each other for a moment and then asked me blankly.
“Then who is going?”
“To whom are you trying to entrust the meeting?”
“Hmm. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about that.”
Both the Deputy Commander and the High Priest Guard Commander were expressing their disapproval.
I gave a very simple answer to that.
“I’m going alone. “Please don’t let anyone follow you.”
“…!”
* * *
My setting for the imperial army’s camp was very simple.
They were driving horses across the Halhendra Plain with only one person, Kals.
Everyone else left them in the barracks to deal with any unexpected situation.
I definitely thought so.
“Please take me with you.”
“Wow!”
“It’s a surprise! “I almost fell!”
Carl and I couldn’t help but feel really cold at the sound of words coming out of the shadows out of nowhere.
That was ‘Senis Edrin’, a master of shadow movement and the top knight of the Special Order.
I held my shocked chest and sighed.
“You were surprised! “Sir Edrin, when did you return?”
“It’s been about an hour. I was going to report my return to you, but you seemed very busy, so I just followed you. Should I go back now?”
“…it’s okay. “Why come all this way and then go back?”
This female knight was strangely arbitrary, so it was quite difficult to deal with.
And I was a little nervous.
‘In the original game, this is an NPC who meets an unfortunate death along with all of the Marquis’ special knights.’
So, as I sent this female knight to Eve Wyler, who is not an Imperial, I secretly hoped that the future would change.
Well, as a result, Eve returned to the principality and started a fight for the throne, so Senis had no choice but to return to me.
“I’m reporting this because I think you might be curious. Little Princess Wyler arrived safely at the outskirts of the principality. They say that from there, they gather underground organizations and engage in resistance activities?”
“what? “Why do you think I’d be curious about that?”
“uh? is not it?”
“Yeah, no.”
I categorically denied it and picked up the pace of my speech…
“Carls, don’t you even say hello to your returning senior? “Are you sad about me?”
“…Thank you for your hard work, senior.”
“You really bow down and bow down.”
Carls and Senis exchanged greetings awkwardly.
It was said that the two had a history of living together when they were trainee engineers.
But for some reason, there was an extremely awkward atmosphere, so it seemed like there was probably some history that I didn’t know about.
‘Did you two fight in the past?’
I’ll have to ask this later.
As I watched the imperial army’s camp slowly approaching, a question came to mind.
“But Sir Edrin, how long do you plan to stick with me? “I think the Marquis will soon be going around to look after the grave of the Lord’s death.”
But the answer she received was perplexing.
“I won’t return until I find out your secret.”
“…Cough. my secret? what is that?”
“Did the fool prince suddenly have a great awakening, or did the genius prince always act like an idiot? “I really need to know.”
“Ah, that’s right. “I have prophet syndrome….”
“I can’t believe such a useless lie. If Prophet Syndrome occurs, death occurs on average within 15 days. But you’re so lively, aren’t you?”
Meanwhile, Senis smiles brightly.
…Hey, this guy is scary.
The Marquis of Reuth had a tiger, right?
From her voice, I could sense her determination to chase me to the end of hell and find out my secret.
-I can’t overcome your obsession, Sir Edrin. So, you just have to get over it in moderation.
-huh? How do you know that?
-I’m sorry, but that’s something I can’t talk about.
I couldn’t stop laughing at the message that Carls had secretly sent.
‘There definitely seems to be something between the two.’
Honestly, there was nothing particularly bad about me if Senis followed me around.
I mean, even if you do that, you won’t do anything that would harm me.
‘I think it’s a secret trick.’
Now, from now on, I also had to be a bit nervous.
“…You’re all there.”
The sight of the Imperial soldiers raising their flags and spreading out their camps was slowly getting closer.
‘This feels weird.’
Although I was not returning like this, it was my first time returning to the Empire since escaping from the assassination incident.
It was a matter of appearing in front of people as the third prince of the empire, both in name and reality.
“Everyone get out of the way!”
Carls, who had finally taken on the role of a guard knight for the first time in a long time, ran ahead and shouted loudly.
“This is the journey of His Majesty the Third Prince Gilroshan of the Great Baltic Empire! “Anyone who blocks this path will be cut down immediately!”
Then the imperial soldiers blocking the road opened their eyes wide and split off to the left and right.
Embarrassed, whispering voices passed through my ears from all over the place.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “The 3rd prince?”
“That’s right! “It’s that face!”
“and! “You’re a fucking prince!”
The moment we entered the imperial army’s camp.
I felt a piercing gaze from somewhere.
I turned my head in that direction and our eyes met precisely.
‘Rapishan.’
The second prince of the empire was glaring at me.
It was at that moment that a new system message appeared.
[An unexpected event ‘Brother Showdown’ occurs!]
‘…That’s it.’
Certain types of NPCs could create special events simply by encountering them in hostile situations.
Representative examples include Crown Prince Lukashan and Second Prince Lapishan.
‘This event occurs whenever the emperor’s sons encounter each other anywhere other than the imperial palace.’
And this, of course, was also true in the case of Giloshan and Lapishan.
The contents of the event printed in front of me were as follows.
< Brothers Showdown >
[Event] Brothers who were from the same litter but could not coexist met at a single tree bridge. Don’t be defeated by your opponent. Unless you plan to live as a hut for the rest of your life.
Success Reward: New title ‘Better Brother than Brother’, improvement of some stats, and 1 type of unknown reward.
I grinned at Lapishan.
‘Let’s hang out together, brother.’
