Half a month has passed and it turns out that all the preparations needed by Guinevere have been completed sooner than the planned time.
* Paw *
The sound of flapping pigeons was heard in the vegetable and fruit gardens around the Root of Camelot. There was seen Nash who was hoeing and planting seeds with the Gnomes.
Nash looked shirtless and wearing only shorts complete with a farmer hat on his head, his brown skin glowed when illuminated by light emanating from the crystal.
"Hmm ..?"
The dove then perched in Nash's hand. The messenger bird Nash had been waiting for. Nash then picked up several rolls of paper tied to his back and released them to the sky.
When Nash just opened the scroll, a voice came from behind him.
"Is that a letter from Gwen?"
Nash looked back and there he saw Guinevere who was wearing fancy-looking clothes.
"Hmm? Guinevere huh ... yes this is a letter from Gwen. By the way, have you taken the capital from Morgana?"
"Um." Guinevere nodded. Nash wanted to return to his activities, but Guinevere never left her place.
"What's the matter? Is there something you want to talk about?"
Hearing that, Guinevere blushed slightly and then said doubtfully.
"Th-that's actually not important ... but,"
Seeing Guinevere's behavior, Nash knew what Guinevere wanted to say to him. He then turned his back to Guinevere and returned to hoeing the ground beneath.
"If you want to meet Lancelot, he is currently in the Re-Estize Kingdom with Mordred."
Hearing Nash's words, Guinevere widened her eyes, it was because she was surprised Nash could find out what was in her heart by only glancing.
'As expected of Nash-sama, he can know what I think, truly a supreme being. '
in fact that question had been kept in Guinevere's mind since she had never seen Lancelot lately, but she was hesitant to ask Nash.
"Thank you, Nash-sama ... then I'll go first"
Guinevere looked down at Nash, and Nash just smiled at her.
"Um, good luck."
Guinevere nodded and then walked and prepared to get out of the Dark Floor, because all of her caravans were waiting at the gate. But she remembered something that made her steps stop.
"By the way Nash-sama, didn't you say before that you will meet Esmeralda-sama and Sir Arthur after I leave?"
"Ah, you're right!"
A week ago, Nash received a report from Esmeralda who said that she and Arthur would stay longer in the village.
According to Esmeralda, she wanted to learn for himself how the people in this world live and carry out their daily activities. And entrust the affairs of the Castle to Nash.
Well, Nash didn't mind that, after all, that's the kind of work Nash gave Esmeralda. She will be the one to spread Camelot's light throughout the world, while Nash will control everything from behind the scenes.
'But it will be difficult to talk about plans to invade of the Roble Holy Kingdom if her not in Camelot ... well, because some of the activities currently taking place outside Camelot, I think this is the right time to go. '
Nash then said.
"While I have free time on Camelot, I think I will visit Esmeralda-san. Thank you, Guinevere."
"It's my duty Nash-sama, besides that because of me you have been very busy the past few weeks."
"What are you talking about, i'am the one who assigned you such a heavy task ..."
Guinevere smiled, she then looked down for the second time before leaving and doing her job.
Looking at Guinevere's back, Nash thought.
'The progress of the Abellion Alliance project has been completed 60%, Lancelot and Mordred have also raised their ranks to Orichalcum, Suzu and the Troops that she brought have successfully conquered the Orc Settlement, while Gwen also seems to carry out her duties very well.
It's been almost a month since we were transferred to this world, and there hasn't been a definite and dangerous obstacle to Camelot, I don't know whether to feel happy or alert, but things are going too smoothly. It's like calm before the storm.
But hopefully my mind is just my paranoid. If this momentum continues, then the day when the Holy Kingdom of Camelot will be born will not be long. '
Nash then smiled with satisfaction and resumed his activities.
***
* Fwuosh *
After assigning Gawain to take responsibility for managing Camelot as long as he and Esmeralda were not there, Nash and Merlin then went to the village where Esmeralda and Arthur were.
Following Esmeralda's instructions in her letter a week ago, Nash and Merlin flew in the same Griffon they brought to Flying City.
"Nash-sama, the village is visible."
Nash then looked towards the village which did not look like an ordinary village, it was because the whole village was surrounded by a moat and a wooden wall high enough to prevent monsters from entering the village.
"Hmm? This isn't what I imagined ... this village was built with pretty good defenses. At least for monsters like Goblins and Orcs it would be difficult to get into it."
When Nash said that he suddenly saw a group of fully clothed warriors gathering in the distance and a large red creature at the edge of the forest. Nash then smiled and said to Merlin.
"Looks like we came at the right time, Merlin."
***
Moments before, the situation of the village still seemed safe and peaceful. The children were seen running happily on the village streets.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
People gather to do work together, women are seen preparing for a lot of cooking ingredients, they talk to each other and laugh.
While men are seen doing heavy work such as lifting objects, feeding horses, etc.
And among the villagers, there was someone striking, who had golden hair tied in a ponytail, a very beautiful face with emerald-colored eyes and an extraordinary body.
That person was Esmeralda, who was seen sitting with other villager, peeling vegetables.
"By the way Esmeralda-san, how come your breasts are this big, huh?"
From behind Esmeralda, a teenage girl, probably only around 15 years old, had a cynical look at Esmeralda, more precisely her breasts.
She then touched Esmeralda's breast and with a serious face 'twitched' it.
Esmeralda who felt her breasts being touched by the teenage girl blushed and said in a panic.
"Hey Liena! Where are you touching me!"
Esmeralda gently smacked the hand of the girl named Liena, although it would still be painful for ordinary humans like her.
"Ouch! B-but that's not fair, how is yours that big while mine is like this."
Liena said while touching her own. And that, well ... there's nothing to say. Suddenly Liena made a suspicious face by saying to Esmeralda playfully.
"Esmeralda-san, don't tell me you use some kind of magic that can enlarge breasts !!!"
" HAH!? "
Esmeralda was confused about what she had just heard.
"Please teach me that kind of magic."
Liena even begged Esmeralda with a serious expression, which only made Esmeralda even more annoyed.
" Magic!? There is no magic like that, Dumbass. "
Esmeralda then slightly tapped Liena's forehead using her index finger, and it made Liena curl up in pain.
"Ouch!"
Seeing the behavior of Esmeralda and Liena all the women there laughed warmly. Well, this is how life is in the Rolia Village, full of warmth even though all its citizens live modestly.
A small village on the outskirts of Slane Theocracy, and directly adjacent to the Dark-Elf Country in the North.
Then, a middle-aged woman who was quite beautiful came with a warm smile towards the two of them while carrying a wooden basin filled with vegetables that had been cleaned.
"Ara ~, Liena. Stop teasing our Goddess of War, you see that her face has turned red like that."
"But mama, this is not ... fair ..."
When Liena saw her mother, she realized that it seemed that she did not inherit anything from her mother, especially in the breast.
Liena then curled up again and was surrounded by a gloomy aura. Liena's mother, Shana, looked confused and tilted her head.
"Ah! Even mommy isn't by my side, oh my god why are you so unfair to me. !?"
"Ara ~?"
Liena continued to roar because she felt the injustice that God gave her. Meanwhile, the men who were in charge of setting the hearth glanced at the women who looked very lively.
"Ah, even when her feel upset, Esmeralda-san looks like a goddess, right Arthur?"
A simple man with black hair seemed to be talking to a handsome golden-haired man who was currently seen preparing a firewood that would be used for cooking later.
The man is Arthur Pendragon.
"..."
However, Arthur just silent and ignored the words of the black haired man.
"Oi, I'm talking to you, A-R-THU-R. Do you hear me?"
"Be quiet Farlan, just continue your work."
"Tsk, you're boring."
Then the black-haired man named Farlan resumed his work of preparing stones to support the pan to be used for cooking.
"By the way, Arthur, I've asked you several times about this, but what exactly is your relationship with Esmeralda-san?"
"How many times have I told you that my relationship with her is a master and servant?"
Farlan, who heard Arthur's answer, rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, but I'm not sure about that, you know ... you two look like lovers."
"Heh, don't joke around. Someone like me is just a lowly creature compared to Esmeralda-sama, only Nash-sama is the one who deserves to be with her."
Hearing Arthur's words that raised the figure of Esmeralda again, Farlan sighed. Farlan did not understand why Arthur humbled himself so when he talked about Esmeralda.
"* sigh * Well, whatever you say, let's finish all this before Shana-san scolded us."
Arthur nodded, and they then returned to their work, before suddenly a bell rang. The sound of the bell is usually used as a sign if there is danger coming nearing Rolia Village.
And the sound of the bell certainly attracts everyone's attention.
A man carrying a sword on his waist was seen panting and shouting at the women and men who were preparing to eat together.
" Women and children who cannot fight immediately enter and take refuge in the house, lock the door tightly! And for the men, bring your swords and head for the gate! "
Esmeralda who heard that knew what had come to threaten Rolia Village, she then said to Shana.
"Shana-san, you and Liena come in, I will go there."
Shana nodded at Esmeralda's words because she had seen her prowess when killing the monsters that had attacked the Rolia village before.
After that, the women and children entered the house while the men left while carrying swords on their waist. Esmeralda and Arthur looked at each other from a distance and then Esmeralda thought.
'They come again, the soldiers from Slane Theocracy. '
*
Outside the village, a group of soldiers in full clothes, with silver armor and helmets, were seen holding an iron sword and a blue shield in front of which was a golden symbol of a lion.
The group of soldiers were soldiers from Slane Theocracy. And in front of the soldiers was a man with blond hair and pink eyes. He was seen wearing a unique clothes and gold rings were seen on his fingers.
The man smiled calmly at the villagers.
Meanwhile, in front of them were the villagers who wore simple clothes and makeshift weapons, only a few people were seen carrying swords on their waist.
Then, Esmeralda came forward with an elegant step, seeing the beauty displayed by Esmeralda, the man widened his eyes.
'A Goddess? '
Well, that's a normal response when an ordinary human sees the beauty of Esmeralda.
However, the man quickly calmed his mind and said to Esmeralda.
"So, you are Esmeralda-sama, huh?"
Esmeralda was quite surprised because unlike those who had previously attacked the village, the man in front of him looked very polite.
"That's right, you must be a Slane Theocracy soldier."
"That's right, I'm the 5th seat of the Black Scripture from Slane Theocracy, Quaiesse Hazia Quintia, but i'm commonly known as the "One Man Army." . Nice to meet you, Esmeralda-san. "
Said the blond man while making a respectful attitude and gentle smile.
"So why did you come here with many soldiers like this? You should have realized that it is useless, right?"
Esmeralda was currently only grasping a random iron spear from her Dimensional Inventory, but her intimidating aura could still be felt by Hazia and the other Slane Theocracy troops.
"O-f ... of course, we know that fighting you directly is pointless, after all, you have defeated dozens of soldiers we sent to this village."
Hazia then smiled mysteriously and said.
"That's why I prefer the right way to defeat you."
"What do you mean?" Esmeralda said coldly.
* Growlll *
Suddenly a deafening roar came from the village. Hearing that, both Esmeralda and Arthur knew what was happening.
And, when Arthur would immediately run towards the village, a voice stopped him. That voice is Hazia's.
"Don't move!!!"
Arthur stopped and everyone who understood what was happening at this moment, broke out in cold sweat at the sound of Hazia's voice.
"The previous roar came from one of the creatures I summoned, Red Salamander. With just one command from me, that creature will burn down the village and kill the women and children who are currently in their house."
Hearing that, the villagers put on a face of fear and panic. Cold sweat ran down their bodies as they thought their village was burned and their families killed.
Meanwhile, Esmeralda issued a terrible killing intent and her passive skill, Ruler Aura leaked out.
Sensing that, the soldiers from Slane Theocracy immediately fell to their knees, collapsed and fell on the ground. Likewise with Hazia, but he said.
"Esmeralda-sama, * pant * Stop this aura or * pant * I will order my Salamander to burn the village."
Hearing that, Esmeralda reflexively withdrew her aura. She then thought.
'I want to use my [ Time Loop ], but the distance is too far, I don't want to take any risk ... just one mistake can make the whole village burn to fire. '
Esmeralda then said with a serious look to Hazia.
"So what do you want?"
"Well, if things had been like this a lot easier ... our wishes were simple, we just want you to leave our country, from this village and compensate for the loss you caused yesterday."
Hearing that, Esmeralda then nodded firmly.
"Alright, I'll go, but you guys promise not to exploit the resources of Rolia village again."
"Well ~ how do you say it ..., it's a matter of the higher ups, miss. I'm just a warning message here."
'There is no other way, huh. '
When the atmosphere was quiet because of waiting for Esmeralda's decision, suddenly a voice was heard in the distance.
* Fwuosh *
"Hmm?"
Hearing that, Hazia glanced at the source of the sound and at that moment he widened his eyes because he saw a very large monster's head thrown at him and his soldiers.
" Hah!? "
* Bump *
However, he reflexively jumped aside and avoided it. So the monster's head fell and crashed into the Slane Theocracy's soldiers behind him.
"ARGHHH!"
"KAGHH !!!"
* Duar *
Several Slane Theocracy soldiers who were hit immediately died in an instant.
" What the fu*k! " Hazia said with a surprised and confused face.
Meanwhile, Esmeralda heard a voice that she recognized from behind her.
"Strike !!!"
Hearing that, Esmeralda immediately looked back and she was a little surprised.
"Sir Nash !? Ms Merlin? "
The owner of the voice was Nash who had descended from the Griffon that he and Merlin were riding. Nash and Merlin then walked towards Esmeralda before they knelt before her and said.
"We have come to see you, my queen."
