Chapter 483.2

They were quite strong.

Each one was just barely strong enough to survive in the Demon Forest, but there were so many of them.

Even in this world, where quality mattered more than numbers, if the numbers were of a certain quality, they would still naturally become a threat.

Especially if they were outside human types, they would be difficult to deal with.

“Golems… they are artificial after all. They did mention hitting a nest when they dug up the ruins… but, from the looks of it, it was probably some kind of ruins defense mechanism that they hit, and these creatures were similar to that Asura Golem. But I’ve never heard of living golems before.”

Those golems were tearing the mountains and forests surrounding the ruins, and now, they had reached this place and were closing in on a fortified city with large walls.

Right now, most of the soldiers from that stronghold were deployed outside to prevent the bug’s approach, but it would only be a matter of time before the bugs breached the city walls.

I see. Although they could solve the problem by themselves if given time, they were forced to rely on me because it was only a matter of time before bugs could reach that city.

And as I approached that city, my ears picked up a distant yell.

“–! Re, report! A group of demons has appeared from the rear! Their estimated strength is disaster level!”

“What? No, perhaps it’s the Emperor’s company, as reported by our Lord?”

“I, I don’t know! But there is a man flying in the sky above us, he seems to be from the demon race!”

“…Be on the lookout, just in case! But if it really is His Majesty, we can’t afford to be rude! It’s difficult, but until we get confirmation, don’t let your guard down!”

Ah, I feel sorry for making them so wary of me.

“You guys, go ahead first… Well, if any of the soldiers look like they’re in trouble, your priority is to help them. Byaku, Seimi, your priority is to heal the wounded.”

I gave a spirited command in order to let the pets go ahead of me, as there was no way they could be mistaken for an enemy.

I was now alone, so I hurriedly and gradually slowed down so as not to look like I was about to assault the soldiers, and landed in front of the tent where the nervous soldiers were, and where the commander was probably staying.

“I’m Yuki. I’ve been called to come and support you. Who’s the commander here?”

Then, one of the humans stepped forward with his face a little tense.

“I am the captain of this group. May I call you Emperor, Your Highness?”

“Oh, yes. But since we’ve never met each other before, there’s no way for me to prove it.”

The person who seemed to be in command shook his head with a wry smile.

“No… I can tell how powerful you are just by the way you are leading such an extraordinary group of monsters, Your Majesty, Yuki, thank you for your help.”

As the commander bowed his head, the surrounding soldiers also did the same.

Your Majesty, Yuki…

What should I do? I almost burst out laughing hearing that.

If I laughed at this moment, it would definitely affect my image, so I tried not to move my cheek muscles and replied to them.

“Well, you don’t have to thank me. This was originally part of my job. –Okay, you guys stay back. We’ll take care of the rest.”

“You, you will take care of it, your majesty?”

“Yes. I’m going to use a ranged attack, so back off, or you’re going to get caught in the middle of it. I don’t want you to be killed in the line of duty by an ally’s attack.”

As I said this, for a moment my face seemed to have looked like someone on top as I thought about what was going on, but everyone simply froze.

“Ah, jeez. –You guys, you heard me! Hurry up and call all the soldiers outside the city back inside!”

With that instruction, the soldiers all moved briskly in unison, withdrawing their troops one after the other inside the city walls.

Hmmm, I would never be able to acquire the kind of dignity that he, the commander, was showing me.

Well, it’s not like I wanted to be one, so it didn’t matter.

–Now, let’s get rid of bugs.

The very sound they made as they moved was disgusting, but…ugh, this was work, after all.

I’ve got to do this.
