𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟗𝟔: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Several days after Automata began to sway in the carriage, the unit led by the commander finally arrived at the capital of the Republic of Awaldia.
Usually, the journey would take longer, but we were worried that if we didn’t hurry, two of the Demon Lord’s army executives might go on a rampage. So, we marched with the feeling of wearing out the horses.
Thanks to that, we arrived much earlier than usual.
By the way, I enjoyed the crushed horses (in a DP sense).
ㅤ
Immediately upon arrival at the capital, the commander was made to request an audience with the country’s top brass.
This was originally written in a letter or report sent by a fast horse, so it went smoothly.
However, because they had their own plans, the audience was scheduled for tomorrow.
Probably, the fact that we arrived earlier than expected is also a big factor.
Well, it can’t be helped.
It seems this country is run by politicians, and without a clear top, it was foreseeable that movements would be slow.
Still, with two runaway trains that could go off at any time, there is a desire to hurry as much as possible.
ㅤ
So, feeling anxious, we spent the night, and the next day.
A messenger from the castle came to where the Automata was staying (seems to be a knight’s facility), and took the commander for the audience.
Of course, the Automata and several zombie guards also followed.
Officially, they are witnesses to provide important testimonies.
ㅤ
Thus, led by the guide, they entered the castle and reached the audience chamber of this country.
The guide knocked and opened the door, and inside, different races with various appearances were seated with their guards.
The atmosphere of the room was very parliamentary.
Somehow, it felt like a combination of a congressional hall and a courthouse.
There were several judge-like chairs looking down from above, and the commander stopped at a place where the defendant seemed to be.
Apparently, the report will be made from here.
ㅤ
“Third Knight Commander, Sea Submarine, has arrived!”
ㅤ
The commander declared loudly, bowing his head while kneeling.
Following suit, the Automata and the zombies were also made to kneel.
I don’t think it means much.
After all, the trigger will be pulled soon.
ㅤ
“Raise your face.”
ㅤ
A guy sitting in a judge-like chair directly in front of the commander spoke.
I think he’s probably the chairman or something.
An elderly man (or old dog?) with a face like a dog.
His appearance somewhat resembles the fenrir in his humanoid form.
It seems there are various types of beastmen, some with just ears like cat ears, and some with a beast-like whole body.
Well, it doesn’t really matter.
ㅤ
“Now, the agenda for this time, you have made a significant discovery in the battle against the Demon Lord’s army, right?
Let’s hear it.”
“Yes!”
ㅤ
In response to those words, the commander starts to speak… of course, that’s not the case.
Because the significant discovery about the Demon Lord’s army is a blatant lie.
The goal is to use the commander’s authority to infiltrate this place, the heart of the country.
I didn’t think it would go so smoothly all the way here.
ㅤ
Therefore, the one who should move here is not the commander.
It’s me.
ㅤ
I made the Automata stand up and open its mouth.
ㅤ
“I will explain that. The significant discovery about the Demon Lord’s army… it’s this.”
ㅤ
As I said that, I gave an order to the zombie-sensei, one of the zombies we brought.
And the content is of course,
ㅤ
“《Floor Teleport》.”
ㅤ
The usual teleport abduction.
Dump the gathered politicians and their guards into the mid-boss room of the dungeon.
ㅤ
“What, what?!”
“What happened?!”
ㅤ
Due to the sudden closure of visibility in the darkness of the dungeon, many of the members became flustered.
However, the guards seemed to be surprisingly capable, securing a light source and immediately assuming a combat posture.
ㅤ
“Illuminate──[Sunlight]!”
“Bloom wildly──[Rafflesia]!”
“Twist──[Spinning]!”
ㅤ
And they deploy their respective true equipment.
I understood this when I appraised them after entering the dungeon, but to my surprise, most of the guards were true equipment users.
There were more than 20 of them.
Keeping this much firepower close at hand rather than sending it to the front lines seemed to suggest the members were quite timid.
However, their timidity proved to be a blessing in disguise this time.
ㅤ
But their resistance is futile.
ㅤ
“Roar──[Dragon Aura].”
ㅤ
With an inorganic voice that gave no sense of its past liveliness, the boss monster newly registered in this room deployed its true equipment.
The body of the boss monster, a dragon zombie in human form, is enveloped by the aura of the true equipment.
ㅤ
The dragon zombie, due to its zombification, became slightly weaker than when it was alive.
However, now it has obtained a power that far surpasses that.
This is the effect of the boss room.
As long as it is inside the registered room, a cheat effect triples the status of the boss monster.
The current dragon zombie possesses this power.
ㅤ
In addition, the status doubled due to the true equipment, and the further status increased due to the [Dragon King’s Dignity].
Because of this, the current dragon zombie has become as strong as a Demon Lord in its base state.
ㅤ
That’s not all.
The only one in this room isn’t the dragon zombie.
The zombies of the strong ones that have been killed so far.
The golem and gargoyle army that embodies the violence of numbers.
The numerous deadly traps.
No matter how many true equipment users there are, there should be no chance of winning against this lineup.
ㅤ
Even so, the guards fought believing in their own power.
As a result, the mid-boss room was colored by a tragedy.
