TDADP chapter 218: Unknown――
Back when Kuro and the wood dragon began to fight.
「Hey, what’s going on! What is with the forest that suddenly appeared in the terrestrial rumbling from before!」
About a thousand cavalry ran through the plains. One of them, an old general, shouts as if he was screaming.
The true colors of these were knights belonging to the Light Hawk Knight Order, the knight order known as the strongest knight order of the Udon Kingdom, which was dispatched by the Udon Kingdom to subdue the wood dragon.
「Communication soldier! What’s the communication with the scout!」
「Th, That...... I was contacted......」
The communication soldier who possesses the communication magic tool clogged the words of whether it would be possible to say it while he looked at the complexion of Param and the generals.
「Even though we’ve been in touch, I didn’t report it!」
「You. Do you know what you’ve done!!」
「You’re not even going to court-martial. I’m going to cut you down right here!」
At that time, Param running at the top stops his horse. The generals and the cavalry behind him also raise their bodies and pull the reins to stop the horses.
「Be quiet――」
Although the generals were still violent, they calmed down with a word of Param. Although the Light Hawk knight order is the strongest with a wide range of soldiers, you can tell just how much Param, who silenced the generals with one word, holds the reins of the Light Hawk Knight Order.
「Let me tell you」
When Param speaks to the communication soldier who chills and sweats like a waterfall, he begins to open his mouth.
「The reports I’m about to make is not a lie, nor am I crazy」
「What are you talking about? You――」
Param controls the old general with his hand and urges the communication soldier to continue.
「N, Now, the wood dragon is in a battle with a black goblin...... the forest is a created through magic, because of its too ridiculous scale, it probably was the 8th rank spirit magic 『Creation Tree Birth』, and――」
「Wait. Wait, wait! Was there a noble with a knight group that could stop the wood dragon around here?」
One of the generals breaks into the report of the communication soldier――
「Different. It’s not a Knight order. Goblin...... is it a black goblin? You’re joking!」
「Silence! Keep reporting. Please calm down and tell us in order from the beginning. In the current report, I don’t know what’s going on」
Again, the generals were furious, but this time the old general, not Param, controlled everyone.
「Y, Yes. It’s the herd of monsters who were chased by the wood dragon, but a goblin appeared――」
「Black... goblin is it?」
「Yes! The black goblin blocked the herd of monsters and started fighting. After defeating half of them, the wood dragon used the 8th rank spirit magic 『Creation Tree Birth』, and the monsters were annihilated」
Apart from the generals who cut off the report of the communication soldier and ridiculously thrown it away, the old general was thinking with his hand on his chin.
「The goblin that was rumored among the adventurers in the capital a little while ago is surely――yes. It was a black goblin」
「What are you talking about! Do you believe in the swears of vulgar adventurers! In the first place, the place where the black goblin is supposed to be found is 『Devil’s Prison』」
「Indeed. I want you to refrain from remarks that disturb the group」
「The flock of monsters is less than 10,000, even if you estimate it. Half of them are 5,000. Even though there is no discipline or control like the Knights, there are 5,000 monsters against one goblin. Who believes that a goblin slaughtered 5,000 monsters. Moreover, it is in the remark of the leader who has supported the Light Hawk Knight Order for many years, such as confronting the wood dragon. Don’t you think you’re afraid of the wood dragon?」
Looking at the generals who cause conflict with the old general, the cavalry cannot come to either side but sends a gaze to Param as if to ask what to do, but Param was watching the course of things interestedly.
「Nuhahaha. The youngster is humorous. I have been running around the battlefield since the time when the lords dung on the urine. Do you think that I was timid when I was confronting the wood dragon? You may beat the Lords here, but now is not the time to do such a thing. Thank God that this was a battlefield, not the royal castle」
When the old general released his killing intent, the warhorses, who should be used to the killing on the battlefield, unintentionally step back, and the generals pulled their reins to control them.
「Oh, right? The black goblin is not a rumor. In fact, the adventurer guild in the capital city has told adventurers not to get out of hand when they see the black goblin」
This old general was a warrior who acted with reasoning based on information gathering rather than intuition, contrary to his stern face full of scars on his trained body.
「If the black goblin is not a rumor, what is the reason for coming to this place far away from 『Devil’s Prison』? If you think calmly, you will understand such a thing is impossible. That a goblin is fighting a dragon」
「It’s not a false report!」
「You’re still saying that!」
One of the officers who was violently in opposition to the communications soldier who insisted that it was not a false report pulled out his sword.
「Enough」
Param did not allow it.
「Param-sama. B, But this person is」
「If you go, you’ll know. Behold. You will also see the giant figure of the wood dragon that jumped out of that forest. There’s no doubt that someone is preventing the wood dragon from progressing」
Param spurred his warhorse, who starts to run. After that, the generals and cavalry pursued him.
「A goblin that challenges a dragon....... Nahaha, interesting」
Only the old general was listening to the words of Param, smiling, and whispering. On the way, there was a roaring sound as if an explosion had occurred in front of Param heading to the forest with the wood dragon. Trees, earth, and sand soared into the air, and some parts seemed to be the dead bodies of countless monsters.
「I, Is it really a goblin fighting the wood dragon!?」
A dust cloud goes up again with an explosion sound.
「Blood swells!」
「I must join the battle!」
Every time a roaring sound that seems to be caused by the wood dragon sounds, the generals and cavalry tremble. Not from fear. It is due to the warrior tremble. None of the members of the Light Hawk Knight Order was afraid of the wood dragon, who was not killed even during the fight with Udon Kingdom´s 30,000 elite soldiers. The Light Hawk Knight Order, led by Param, one of the five knights of Udon Kingdom, do not think that they will lose.
The optical Light Hawk knight order is stunned by the immediate sight. The forest disappeared, and the wood dragon was lying down. The wood dragon, who had never been swayed by magic, swords, spears, or arrows, was crying in front of the goblin.
「Fo, Foolish!?」
「What the hell is that? The wood dragon...... that wood dragon......」
「I can’t believe it......」
「That goblin, is it using negative magical power? I’m having a feeling of evil」
The bodies of the generals and cavalry tremble. This time it is not a warrior tremble. The dreadful existence of the goblin overwhelming the wood dragon and the eeriness caused their bodies to tremble without even realizing it.
「Param-sama, it’s a black goblin」
The old general whispered without taking his eyes off the black goblin.
「Wood dragon. Don’t disappoint a certain someone」
Along with Kuro’s words, the Bloody Earth Battle Ax and the Tenma Andromarius Large Hammer in both hands were swung down. In a place where he was unable to move, he attacked the head with the attacks of 『Ax Technique』 and 『Hammer Technique』 at the same time. No matter how much it was called a wood dragon, there was not a single reservoir.
「What’s with that boy and the big guy over there?」
「No, no. Is that person wearing that robe an undead? It’s releasing an evil aura that surpasses the black goblin」
In spite of the still stunned Knights of the Light Hawk Knight Order, Yuu and the others begin to dismantle the wood dragon.
「That black-haired boy...... is surely the B-rank adventurer named Yuu Sato」
「Yuu Sato? His Majesty and the Great Sage had spoken of that name before」
The conversation between the old general and Param is noisy.
「Param-sama, more than that, there is even Joseph Pal Yorm. No, now Joseph Yorm, he just threw away his noble family name」
「Hou. I think the Great Sage said that he might have been the strongest in history. Is that the former Seven Swords Leader 『Heavenly Spear Joseph』?」
「Is it real?」
The old general responds when one of the generals asks regretfully.
「It’s real. Once upon a time, I was together with him during the Walpurgis cult subjugation and the Third Holy Devil War. The deeds of the evil Walpurgis cult were terrible. The kidnapping of innocent women and children as sacrifices and repeated lyrical torture. Furthermore, they kidnapped children with 『Holy Blessing』 and 『Devil Blessing』」
「Even if it is the real Joseph, he is just a commoner who has nothing to do with the Derim Empire. He can’t be allowed to do whatever he wants in the Udon Kingdom」
「Well, that man’s job is 『Warrior』, 『Knight』, 『Holy Knight』, 『Dark Knight』. He is called 『Heavenly Spear Joseph』 because he always has his 『Holy Spear』 by his side, but he is far from a 『Heavy Spear Knight』 and 『Spear Knight』. The story of no one who queues up if the spear is made anyway might have only attached the tail fin to the rumor. Joseph Yorm is not someone to be afraid of」
They are the men who are proud to be the strongest. Intense as if to talk about how strong the other country is.
「It’s scary not to know anything」
To the words of the old general, the place calms down like a ripple on the surface of the water.
「That man didn’t get a job. It wasn’t a job. That was the job that the Lord had just given him, the unique job 『Hero』, the most famous empty-handed job 『Fist God』 and it’s even more green than the job that is comparable to the highest peak of the sword 『Sword God』」
「Hu, Huhahaa. Then I want you to tell me why he didn’t get the job」
「Joseph was too strong」
It was an expression that those around him did not understand the words of the old general. Only Param.
「I see」
---------------
「Bueekshunn! Ah. Something worthless appeared」
Yuu, who is stripping off the material of the wood dragon, stares at Joseph without hiding his unpleasant face.
「Th, This! What a vulgar man! Master, this way. If you are there, you will get caught in a foul smell!」
「To fart in front of my Master! After the wood dragon, I’ll slaughter you!!」
Russ and Kuro release a tremendous killing intent, but Joseph slaps his butt twice, saying 「Scary Scary」.
「Ooooo. You´re saying bad things. Apart from that Yuu, those guys over there are doing something」
「You can leave them alone」
「It’s some sort of knight order. They’re wearing the same armor」
Yuu doesn’t have to be a partner if he doesn’t come close here, but Yuu continues to peel off, but he sees the Light Hawk Knights coming close.
「You continue stripping here. And Kuro can use the magic ball stripped from the wood dragon for himself」
「I thought I’d give this to the Lord」
There was a magic ball that divided the sphere in half though it was not complete in Kuro’s hand.
「You’re sluggish, aren’t you? You can’t beat Russ if you stay the way you are for the rest of your life」
Kuro chases Yuu’s back with his eyes. Kuro, who won against the wood dragon and was immersed in the afterglow for a while, but when he asked himself what would happen if he fought with Russ, he could not imagine how he could win.
「Don’t do anything unnecessary」
Note to Joseph and Russ, who come without permission, Yuu knows that it is useless to say anything, but they do not disturb him.
「Wahaha! What is it, standing on the back of a horse?」
Running at the head of the Light Hawk Knights is an eight-legged warhorse, it’s a horse monster called jet-black Sleipnir. Standing with his arms crossed rather than straddling its back is Param, one of the five knights of the Udon Kingdom and the leader of the Light Hawk Knights. The appearance showed that the officers and cavalrymen around him had given up.
「Nahaahaahaa! Nahaahaahaa! Touu!!」
Param jumps up with a shout. When he decides to land while rotating several times in the air, he glances at Yuu.
「Who’s that guy? Do you know Joseph?」
「I don’t know anyone who’s such a pervert」
「Master, don’t look at this kind of pervert. Your eyes will get dirty」
Russ blocked Yuu’s view with his robe. Everyone will be convinced if it is said that his face is beautiful and his golden hair is fluffy. On top of that, Param is wearing a stunning Holy Knight armor. But...... underneath, you can see the navel, wearing short trousers――so-called hot pants. Even though he is slender in his early twenties, a man with a well-trained body shows a navel in tight hot pants and approaches with a laugh. It was not unreasonable for Joseph and Russ to decide that he was perverted.
「I am the only one!」
Param raises the Holy Sword Excalibur for show and sees Yuu’s reaction.
「I am the only one!」
To make it even more emphasized, the Holy Sword Excalibur is flickering.
「Quickly give your name」
「Don’t show such a dirty thing to Master」
「What!?」
The harsh words of Yuu and Russ damage Param´s heart. There was no one who did not know the Holy Sword Excalibur up to now. Usually, the other party notices Param here, and even if he doesn’t announce himself, he is amazed and shows a joyful expression.
「Param-sama, that’s enough」
The old general remonstrates Param shyly.
「Umm. I am one of the five knights of the Udon Kingdom, who is the leader of the Light Hawk Knight Order. My name is――」
「It’s Param, isn’t it? That old man has just called you by that name」
「This biting louse, is having a bad memory? He has already forgotten the previous exchange」
「Gununu....... I’m just...... mumblingly...... I’m Param Paps......」
「Wahaha. What is this guy! He is suddenly out of energy」
「St, Stop. Ah, don’t touch my sword」
「Hey hey, what happened? You said you were yourself a while ago」
Just like a child with a toy, Joseph gets involved in Param. What is not interesting is the Light Hawk Knight Order.
「Joseph-dono, can you go that far?」
「I will not tolerate disrespect to Param-sama!」
「Even though you are a former Seven Sword, we won’t be silent with such behavior」
It was the generals and cavalry who were murderous, but it was no big deal for Joseph.
「You came here with something you wanted to do?」
Ignoring Param, who is played with by Joseph, Yuu speaks to the old general. The ridiculous attitude further irritates the members of the Light Hawk Knight Order.
「That is Param-sama――is it impossible now? First of all, it is wonderful that you subjugated the wood dragon which we couldn’t stop!」
Yuu shows no reaction to the words of the old general celebrating the killing of the wood dragon. Yuu’s attitude to the old general who was adored by the subordinates as well as Param was received as arrogant, and the surrounding cavalry did not try to conceal it, and killing intent was flying towards Yuu.
「I’d like you to hand over the dragon carcass」
「Do you want to die?」
Not Yuu. Russ said so facing the murderous Light Hawk Knight Order.
「Do you know how much the dragon carcass is worth? Nothing to throw away from the horns, fangs, and claws, as well as from the scales to the blood. If you can have a cane or bow made from the horn of a wood dragon, you will never stop saying that it is more valuable than becoming the king of a nation」
「The reason for that is because we can’t give up the carcass of the wood dragon」
「You! What is with that attitude!!」
「If you don’t behave modestly you are pushing your luck!!」
「We are the proud Light Hawk Knight Order of Udon Kingdom! Despite being asked not to be devastated!」
The old general appeased the cavalry, but it didn’t seem to fit.
「Roughly! You’re a filthy――」
One of the cavalry members tried to insult Russ, but he couldn’t say that to the end.
「Russ is my servant. If you insult him, you’ll be my enemy」
Light Hawk Knight Order. They are soldiers with a history in war as they have won numerous battles and subdued numerous monsters. The soldiers were still pressured by Yuu’s bloodthirst.
「Both sides, that’s enough!」
The old general split between Yuu and the cavalry. Yuu´s killing intent disappeared, and the cavalry felt their power fall out of their shoulders as if they were relieved.
「I will say it again. I want you to give us the carcass of the wood dragon. Originally, the wood dragon is a gentle character, and it is not a monster that would harm people if the hand is stretched out. To investigate its cause, can you give it to us?」
「Adventurer Protection Law Article 4, the rights of monsters defeated by adventurers shall belong to the adventurers who defeated the monster」
「Muu」
The poor old general screamed something in his mind that isn’t shown on his face.
「It’s a treaty between the Adventurer’s Guild and the Rem allied nations. If the Udon Kingdom, one of the five major powers of the Rem allied nations, doesn’t protect it, I’ll also challenge it. That’s because I don’t hesitate to use my rights and position as a high-level adventurer and I’ll see how many adventurers will flow into other countries」
To stop the damage caused by monsters, it is not very easy for the national soldiers alone. The profits gained by the monsters and valuable minerals and plants brought back by the adventurers are paid as taxes from the adventurer’s guild. This runaway of monsters caused by the wood dragon is known not only to the Udon Kingdom but also to neighboring countries. If it is known that the adventurer who defeated the wood dragon has had the corpse of the wood dragon forcibly taken away, how much damage will the Udon Kingdom suffer from criticism from other countries, the outflow of the adventurers, and so on? The old general accounted roughly, but the amount was too much to think about. It was also awkward that Yuu was a high-level adventurer. If you are an adventurer, you can do it with all your energy, but the story changes when you become a high-rank adventurer. This is because adventurers of rank B or higher are awarded a title. Even if you say title, no territory is given by the country. The rights and tax benefits that are unthinkable for ordinary people are, however, guaranteed. This is not limited to the Udon Kingdom. Every country had the same rights to prevent good adventurers from flowing out to other countries.
「That is a problem. Can you take this situation into consideration?」
「It’s impossible. Russ, let’s go back」
Yuu approached Joseph, who is still playing with Param and the generals, as to what the old general did after the attitude of Yuu without an attached island.
「Joseph-dono, can you say something? We can’t go home empty-handed as it is」
「Yuu said he doesn’t like it, so you better give up. I think it’s your problem for you guys who didn’t quickly knock down the wood dragon」
The old general had no choice but to laugh bitterly at the painful point.
「What the hell is that! Can it develop into an international problem between the Udon Kingdom and the Derim Empire!」
「Yes! Originally, Joseph-dono, who was the head of the Derim Imperial Army, was at the site of the wood dragon subjugation. You can’t do it without knowing it!!」
「I’ll ask you」
Param, who recovered, asks Joseph while holding up the Holy Sword Excalibur.
「Joseph? Who is it? I don’t know」
「Do, Don’t lie to me! The boy just mentioned earlier was also called Joseph!!」
「I ask you too!」
「That’s why he is telling you he doesn’t know Joseph!」
「So who are you!」
「Give your name!」
「I am Param Paps!」
「「「Please keep quiet, Param-sama!」」」
「Yes......」
There is no courtesy for Joseph anymore. Everyone was angry at Joseph, who was rude and arrogant.
「I am――」
Param, the generals, and cavalry all looked at Joseph.
「An unnamed gorilla」
Silence came. The gentle sun shines on everyone, and a breeze passes past their cheeks.
And――
「「「Dahahahaa!!」」」
「Nahaahaahaa! Go, Gorilla!? Nahaahaahaa!! Cough Cough! S, Saliva in the trachea, cough」
「Joseph-dono, no matter how much you Gorill――huhuu. Ex, Excuse me. However an unnamed Gori, Gori――nuhahaa!!」
Even the cavalry and the generals cannot endure their laughter like Param and the old general.
「Th, This! You laugh buhuhuu, stop!!」
「Nahahaa. My name is Param, b, but what do you say your name is?」
「Guhuu, Guhuhu. Pa, Param-sama, he is an unnamed gorilla. Bububuu」
「「「Guhahahaa!! Gorilla!? Unnamed!?」」」
The members of the Light Hawk Knight Order were wrapped in laughter, saying, 「Unnamed Gorilla」. Joseph is gradually in front of them――no, he’s not a man who can put up with it. They didn’t realize he was in a bad mood while watching.
「This isn’t going to stop. But Joseph is also bad? Nuhahaa. Himself Gori――gehuu」
The old general flew in the air. He is the old stump in the Light Hawk Knight Order.
「Self! Unnamed Gorilla! I punishment――geboraa」
The next person who flew in the air was one of the generals.
「Who is the gorilla. I’m going to hit you」
He is already beating them. Originally a group that likes to fight rather than talk. It felt as if Yuu had scratched the prey before them. Dissatisfaction is Joseph’s violence, as it has already accumulated near the limit.
About a thousand knights――no, the men pulled out their swords as they wished.
「Nu, Nuhaha! Joseph-dono, if you’re willing to do that, I’d be happy to!!」
The old general spits out the blood from his mouth with his broken back teeth and wipes his mouth with his hands. Dozens of cavalry members had already been blown away by Joseph.
「Hero, Joseph! No shortage for the other party!」
Joseph’s rock dragon sword and old general´s holy knight sword clash.
「I said I’m not Joseph!」
「Guhaa」
The old general falls as if he was repelled by a horse.
「Don’t attack from the front!」
Under the instructions of the generals, the cavalry makes a formation. The reason that half of the cavalry is descending is not to fight equally. This is to add attacks from above and below. The opponent is a Hero of Derim Empire. If you are a knight, everyone will want to exchange blows with him once. Today that wish will come true. When it is necessary to refrain from anything, they attack Joseph. Joseph gets rid of the sword, which approaches from the sky far from all directions with his large sword. With one strong sword swing, six or seven cavalry members are blown away at a stroke. The faces of the cavalry members who were slammed to the ground were smiling for some reason.
「Naahaahaahaa!」
「Tsk」
It was Param who kicked the back of the cavalry surrounding Joseph and struck the sword over his head. It is foolish to make a surprise by calling out with his voice purposely. Despite being foolish, Joseph was unable to hesitate to attack from above.
「Ah! Param-sama, it’s unfair!!」
「Only me again!」
Generals and cavalry members cry out, but it doesn’t reach Param’s ears. That’s not the case. There were already dozens of swordsmen between Joseph and Param. In exchange for 『Swordsmanship』, it is a high technique that is rarely seen on the battlefield.
「Pa, Param-sama is also serious!」
「I don’t know which one is in control and which one is my favorite」
「This is Joseph Yorm」
Every time Param swings the Holy Sword Excalibur, a golden sword flash attacks Joseph. A number of incisions have been carved into Joseph’s body, and the rock dragon sword´s blade is already tattered. Param´s one is intact. To be precise, the sheath of the Holy Sword Excalibur is always restored by the skill of healing the owner forever.
「Nahahaa!」
「This pervert guy」
Each other’s swords are antagonistic, and they become close to each other.
「Nahahaahaa!! I once wanted to exchange swords, but your skill is no different from the rumors! I wanted to fight you with a Holy Sword or Spear if possible」
「Be quiet」
「Your sword skill is better than mine, and it does not extend far in physical ability. But I have the Holy Sword Excalibur!」
「I said you should be quiet! *Spitting*!!」
「Uwaaa!? Stop it. Your spit is on my Holy Sword, aaaaaa~」
Joseph spits on the Holy Sword Excalibur, which Param cherishes over his life. Param, who was in a rush, was in a hurry to get away.
「Eat this!」
「Ah!? The fire dragon cloak which I got after great pains!!」
From behind Param, who is wiping off the spit sprinkled on the Holy Sword Excalibur, Joseph throws earth at the cloak. The bright red cloak quickly becomes muddy, and Param becomes teary.
「My cloak is~」
「Joseph-dono, it’s unfair!!」
「That’s right That’s right!」
「You can put it on a knight’s windward!!」
「Be quiet! Idiot, Idiot!!」
Joseph provokes by hitting his buttocks as if he laughs at the fiercely hilarious Knights. This is Joseph’s pace. Those who watched the solo battle with Param attacked Joseph with him, but there was no shame to see the formation and cooperation that was not disturbing. One after another, they´re defeated by Joseph. Under normal circumstances, Param conducts the command here, but unfortunately, Param is not. He was still crying as he was cleaning the Holy Sword Excalibur and the Fire Dragon cloak. Then, Joseph seemed to have fallen without thinking at all, and the generals and cavalry of the Light Hawk Knight order were defeated preferentially.
-----------------------
「Master, it’s over」
「Good. Let’s go home」
The dismantling and stripping of the wood dragon are over. Kuro, who has transported all materials to the Nameless Kingdom, reports to Yuu.
「Master, are you sure?」
「Would you like to take it home?」
At the end of Yuu’s line of sight, Joseph and Light Hawk Knight Order are still fighting. There are good adults and knights who serve the country. Too humorous, Yuu can’t sigh. Russ and Kuro feel the same way. Yuu and his friends left Joseph behind and left the place.
