Evade The Hero and Flee!

Chapter 327

Chapter 327 

34. Everyone has a plan… (10) 

#9. Their Situation: The Situation of the Black Anvil Clan

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!  

The sound of iron and stone colliding.

“This is the last one!”  

“Just a little more effort!”

“The stone is too hard! It seems to contain ore, so we should try targeting another place…”

“Shut up! We don’t have much time left! The five days we originally promised have already passed and there’s not much left of the one extra day we got! Here! If we can’t break through here, we can never be liberated!”

At the shouting of the dwarf Elder whose face was flushed red, the dwarves holding pickaxes started swinging their pickaxes.  

“Damn…”

Seeing that, the dwarf Elder looked down at his slightly trembling hands.  

“Did I rest too long…”

Although still active as a blacksmith, decades had passed since he retired as a miner.  

Striking iron with a hammer and striking rock with a pickaxe look similar but are completely different tasks.  

The motions for tempering and the motions for destruction are totally different.

“I’ve grown old.”  

Just staying up for five days straight, yet his hands already lacked strength.  

The dwarf Elder smiled bitterly as he felt the passage of time.

“Everyone move aside!”

“Here, Elder!”  

“Dieres?”

Dieres, one of the dwarf Elders collapsed first.  

He appeared holding a pickaxe.

“I collapsed first!”

Boom!

“Careful, Elder!”  

“The tunnel will collapse!”

Seeing Dieres charge forward with all his might, the other dwarves cried out in surprise.  

But.  

“We’ll die anyway if we can’t break through!”

The other dwarves couldn’t stop Dieres who was rapidly gaining speed.

“Break!”  

“Ga, Ganggi!”

Ganggi, the symbol of the Swordsmaster.  

The moment it manifested on the pickaxe.

Kwaang!

With a massive explosive sound, the last boulder blocking the dwarves was shattered.  

“Ha, was it black iron?”  

Seeing a fragment of the rare ore black iron, the dwarf Elder smiled.  

A mineral that’s so hard to come across, right below their village where they lived.

“Is this good luck?”

A rock so tough that even veteran dwarf miners struggled.  

While this section may have been special, if the entire surrounding area had this level of hardness, they would be able to get their hands on a top-grade black iron mine.

“First we have to reclaim the village. No, we need to be liberated first, right?”

The dwarf Elder who sighed deeply stared beyond the shattered wall.  

“Still not there yet.”

Although the rocks were removed, they had yet to reach their destination.  

“This is just the beginning.”  

They had solved the most difficult problem, but many cumbersome tasks still remained.

“Prepare the magic.”  

What blocked the dwarves’ path was a weak earthen wall.  

It could be dug faster than rock but had the downside of easily crumbling.  

“Understood!”

“As usual, dig in shifts of six teams.”  

“Yes, Elder!”

One group of dwarves started digging away soil with pickaxes while another group began hardening the soil, and two dwarves used wind elemental magic to circulate the air.  

After 30 minutes. 

The first team to deplete all their magic took a break and was replaced by the next team, then the team after that.  

As the sixth team exited, the first team re-entered, continuously digging away at the tunnel.

And then.

Fwoosh!  

Beyond the pickaxe, a ray of light illuminated the dwarf miner.  

“Lig, light!”

“We made it! Success!” 

“Ah ah, finally… finally…!”

4 hours and 30 minutes after removing the stone walls.  

The dwarves could return to their hometown.

“Alright then…”  

They were quite a distance from the village where the Black Anvil clan lived but there’s no way they could miss seeing the massive ramparts.  

Nodding at their greatest masterpiece, the dwarves who saw the world filled with light shouted.

“Time to bolt!”

“Yes, Elder!”  

Beyond those ramparts prowled the sinister army of evil god.  

The black dots flying around the ramparts like flies could be none other than the sinister army of evil god greedily eyeing the ramparts.  

They couldn’t afford to linger around and become part of the sinister army of the evil god.  

They who continuously carried out the evil-handed Hectare’s commands, along with his evil disciples.  

Now they needed… Freedom.  

The freedom to live once more as artisans, as blacksmiths!  

“Let’s go!”

Leaving behind the bright world, the dwarves re-entered the darkness.

And.  

“It’s done?”

“Yes, that’s right. Lady Mirea.”  

The Elder of the dwarves, a race who supposedly did not bow their heads even to the Emperor of the Karan Empire, the strongest nation on the continent, had his head bowed before a little girl.  

“Hmm… Is that so?”

“It is. How could I dare tell lies in front of anyone.”  

Like a slave startled by his master’s antics, the dwarf Elder reacted to every word from the little girl.  

“Hmmm…”  

Seeing the dwarf Elder like that, the little girl made a contemplative expression.  

‘You wouldn’t go back on your word right?’

She had said she always keeps her promises once made.  

Saying not to trust her lightly, she had been the one to first push over the papers and pen to make a contract.

Going through tedious confirmation after confirmation that the dwarves would be granted freedom the moment the tunnel was completed.  

‘Her eyes showed integrity.’

The dwarf Elder had lived for longer than the history of a nation.  

He had reached the point where he could discern just by a person’s eyes whether they were trustworthy or not.  

And so the dwarf Elder had signed the slave contract with tears in his eyes.

‘But after that person…’

After realizing that she was a disciple of the evil-handed Hectare after drafting the contract. 

The dwarf elder thought that his eyes might have been wrong.

‘The evil-handed Hectare has the level to believe the lies they made as the truth. If she has reached that level…’

Perhaps, the history of the Black Anvil clan could have ended here.

“Well, okay. Let’s do it as promised.”

As she nodded, the dwarf elder carefully raised his head.

“Miss Mirea. By any chance, are you going to catch me again if I say I’m leaving now that I’m gone?”

At the words of the dwarf elder who raised his head, Mirea grinned.

“Would you do that for me?”

“Ah, no. I’m just checking…”

The dwarf elder who apologized and bowed his head did not stop speaking words of similar meaning.

After realizing that the little girl in front of him was a disciple of the evil-handed Hectare.

The dwarf elder, who memorized the entire contract, came up with absurd things that could happen to them over and over again.

“By any chance…”

“Stop. If you say one more word, I’ll do everything you’ve said so far.”

Even Mirea, who just nodded her head and answered at first, eventually ran out of patience.

“So stop it.”

If you don’t, I won’t just leave you alone.

At Mirea’s words, which she said with just her eyes, the dwarf elder nodded.

“Then, shall we go?”

“No. We have to go together to see if the passage is complete.”

“I understand.”

She was very careful.

He entered the walls one by one with dozens of dwarves as hostages and soldiers.

“This is a great place to hide a bomb. Please check.”

“Ah, it would be nice to install a trap magic spell here to kill everyone.”

“I would break the pillars here if I were you. Then the surroundings will collapse, right?”

After examining places that seemed to have traps, she smiled satisfactorily and said. “Good. Now leave. To where the instructor is not.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

Looking at the dwarf who was shedding tears, Mirea smiled broadly and suddenly looked at the dwarves with eyes full of murderous intent.

“But if you go over to the instructor and deceive us…”

Swish.

“I will cut it off first and keep you alive.”

“Ah, I understand.”

Seeing Mirea swiping not at the neck but at the male’s genital area, the dwarf elder shook his body in fear.

‘Keep it alive…’

The dwarf elder, who thought he was a person who could communicate unlike the members who attacked the dwarves without saying a word, changed his mind.

‘After all, she is their leader and a disciple of the evil-handed Hectare!’

Realizing that the most crazy, no, bitch, was the being in front of him, the dwarf elder started running away without looking back.

#10 Their Situation: The Situation of the Imperial Army

“Can we send them as they are?”

“It is better to get rid of unbelievable things as soon as possible. They may be manipulated by the instructor without realizing it themselves.”

Looking at their leader who nodded, a member of the Ast Kidnapping Group had a complicated expression.

“Now… It’s over.”

“Yes. Now is the beginning.”

Although the words were opposite, the words of the two people had the same meaning.

“Now, let’s catch the instructor. Tell the whole army.”

“Yes!”

“And send the hero back.”

“I understand.”

“Since he can escape at any time, send a squad to make sure the Hero Alliance comes back.”

Hearing Mirea’s orders, the members of the Ast Kidnapping Group began to quickly convey her words.

“The opponent is the metal bat! Don’t save the guy who is off guard! Don’t think about asking for help! Just think about not getting hit!”

“Has anyone not been hit? I’m telling you for sure. That’s the best thing, not to get hit. If you think you’re going to get hit, avoid it unconditionally! What if your colleague gets hit? It can’t be helped! Listen! First of all, know how to avoid it! If you don’t know what I’m talking about, get hit once!”

After receiving Mirea’s orders, the leaders of the Ast Kidnapping Group began to move according to her plan with the members.

“You know if you get hit, right?”

“…I see.”

The expression on the hero’s face looking at Mirea went very sour, but it couldn’t be helped.

“What to do?”

“Bring down the Demon King.”

“If you miss it?”

“My life gets tiring!”

“Okay, good luck buddy!”

“…Yeah. Don’t get hit by the metal bat.”

“I’ll just send my men from behind, so I’ll be fine.”

“I guess so.”

Watching the back of the nodding hero, Mirea grabbed her throbbing heart.

“How long has it been…”

The fear of facing death.

Mirea’s expression was full of strange anticipation.

“Okay.”

The divided troops into three begin to move.

One is the hero and a very small number of troops. 

Their purpose is to request the Hero Alliance, the Kingdom Alliance, and the Religion Alliance to attack the Demon King.

The second are those moving through the secret passage made by the dwarves.

They will secretly infiltrate the village of the Black Anvil clan.

Disguised there as citizens and soldiers of the Kingdom of Beresseryl, they will find their target.

And.

“The opponent is the weapon of the Black Anvil clan. An ordinary human can sweep away the army of evil god with this weapon.”

“Made in Black Anvil…”

“Gulp.”

Dozens of people dressed in black were looking up at the huge castle walls.  

“Even if it’s us, we could die if we get hit. So be careful. We’ll be liberated after this is over, so it’d be a waste to die, right?”

Their number was the smallest, but they were also the best of the Ast kidnapping group.

Each one was a sword master and a great sorcerer. Or summoners at a similar level to great sorcerers.  

“Alright, let’s go.”

Mirea didn’t completely trust the Black Anvil clan. 

The instructor she knew could have already detected the existence of the tunnels.

The image of the instructor holding the metal bat in the narrow passage vividly came to Mirea’s mind.

That’s why they decided to infiltrate using fair means.

“What’s the signal?”

“Not yet.”

“I see?”

The Demon King attacks.  

That was the signal.

Boom! Thump! Kuuuuuu!

“Splendid.”

The loud noises coming from afar.  

Bigger than the explosions of Beresseryl Kingdom army weapons that she often heard, a smile appeared on Mirea’s lips.

“Now it begins.”

“Yes!”

Using magic to quickly and stealthily climb up the wall and onto the top of the castle walls.

There were quite a lot of soldiers in the rear, but…

“Let’s go down.”

“Roger.”

…Ordinary soldiers couldn’t notice their movement.

As they quickly dropped down below the castle walls and hid their bodies in the shadows.

-C, Captain!

“Already found us?”

As an urgent voice echoed through the communication artifact.

Mirea took out her magic tool.

“What’s going on?”

-Th, That’s…

Hearing Mirea’s composed voice, the member stuttered.  

-Si, Sir Ast!

“You found him?”

-We f, found him but…

“I see? So where is he?”  

-…!

Mirea’s expression, which had a smile while holding the communication artifact, froze as it was.

“What… Did you say?”

-The Beresseryl Kingdom army opened the gates, and Sir Ast is at the vanguard…

Thud.  

Mirea dropped her magic tool and started to turn pale.

“What, what is this?”

The person she knew would not do such a thing.  

Yet if he did this!

“Does that mean we can get out through there…”

Would that be possible?

-Captain, what should we do!

The member’s flustered voice was heard from the fallen magic tool.

‘I’m the captain. The captain. Captain!’

“First, observe the situation. It might not be real.”  

‘It could be an impersonator. Or it could be real, targeting that possibility… Then again, the impersonator itself could be…’

With her mind complicated, Mirea could make only one judgement.  

“We’ll go there too.”

First thing’s first, she had to check with her own eyes.
