11. On the Road of No Return?
update icon Updated at 2023/7/22 5:10:12

In big trouble...

Although I didn't do it, we're in big trouble... Our wonderful life in the fantasy world ended before it even began.

Feeling guilty? I don't have time for that.

The problem is...

I looked at Lucia, who was bandaging my right hand, and then at Milia and Silena.

"No problem, desu~ Let's just kill a few more people and join the Demon Lord's army together."

Hey hey, aren't you starting off as a villain right away...

"If that's the case... Let's just destroy Rondia. Maybe we can become high-ranking officers or something."

Hey hey, don't you still have a fiance?

"Everyone! This is not right..."

"Right, let's talk about them and come up with a serious plan. Milia, any ideas?"

"We shouldn't harm the innocent. We should just kill all those nobles and the knights who assist their tyranny. That should be enough to become officers."

Hey! Aren't you on their side too!

"Indeed, Milady! Let's eat and drink to our heart's content today and take action tomorrow, desu~"

"Yes, we cannot harm the commoners. Let's start with the gatekeepers. Every time we return to the city from outside, they always inspect us and get handsy. Let's harvest their heads tomorrow and become true 'Death Reapers'!"

Lucia swung her giant sickle with a determined look.

Hey! Can't you come up with a serious plan? What about Sylia and Louise?!

"......"

Both of them trembled by the fire, shrinking in fear.

"It's okay, we'll just treat them as hostages and free them appropriately. They won't have any guilt. "

Lucia said with a worried expression, and Milia walked over and took out an identity card - "Lan, look at this..."

Milia opened the ID card and showed it to me. It displayed - Milia

Race: Human

Level: 43

Affiliation: "None"

Infamy: "Accomplice to Murder"

Guild Rank: "A"

Health Status: "Virgin"

...

"Accomplice?"

"You got it, the moment we become criminals, we lose our nationality, which means we have no way out."

Milia took back the identity card.

This system is so serious. They even keep records of accomplice crimes?

A system? Is there really a system that manages everything in the sky?

"We're the same, by the way. By the way, if the accomplice is caught, they'll become slaves, which is worse than being executed. If you're lucky, you'll be sold to nobles as a servant. If you're unlucky, you'll become a prostitute, or even worse, you might end up in a mining city."

"Just like a laborer."

Doubting, Lucia patted my shoulder with a gentle expression, "Keep a positive outlook..."

"Subtle? Is being caught really that bad?!"

"No problem, desu~ Once tomorrow is over, we'll be officers in the Demon Lord's army."

Are you serious...

"I might be so-called, but you have families... Lucia, you still have a fiance..."

"I don't have a family, and I grew up in an orphanage... The person I adore, as well as the director who acted as my parents, were all persecuted by the nobles. There's no need to endure it anymore."

Milia drew her knight sword, completely serious...

"Same, desu~ Those noble folks collect a lot of food every year. My parents and the people in my village all starved to death. I survived by eating garbage every day in Rondia. This is the perfect chance for me to strike. Meeting Brother Lan now is fate!"

I could already see the anger in Silena's eyes.

"My situation isn't as miserable, but there's nothing worth staying for either. I've only caused trouble for my family, so before becoming officers in the Demon Lord's army, I want to go home first and take care of the ones who need dealing with. Without Lan, I would have died already. Besides, I really hate those nobles. Let's do it together."

Lucia also had a look of wanting to clean up the mess.

"Wait, did everyone forget something? We're only A-ranked adventurers in our thirties or forties, but there are S-ranked or even G-ranked people in Rondia. Even if those knights are not that great, there are still tens of thousands of B-A-ranked pioneers. "

Milia mentioned the key point... Everyone fell silent.So, the idea of massacring and such is completely unreliable.

"Tsk, in the end, it was all caused by that idiot. Saving them was a mistake, they should have died naturally."

Silena looked at the corpses on the ground, stomping on the ground with anger, as if she wanted to whip the bodies..."Lena! What's the point of talking about this now -"

"- Well..."

Celia's voice came from the side.

"What!?"

Lucia, who was interrupted, glared. Celia slowly lowered her hand, which was raised to say something, with a look of fear.

I pulled Lucia aside and smiled at Celia, "What's the matter, Celia? We won't harm you, but we are currently at a crossroads in life, facing a decision. Let's talk about it once we've made up our minds."

That's right, now is not the time for self-comfort.

Should we join the Demon Lord's army, or the Demon King's army...

There's no choice at all!!!

Tsk, let's do this.

"Well, as Lucia said, no matter how much we regret it now, it won't change the fact. Let's just make a ruthless move and join the Demon King's army together. I've already figured out the battle plan. Speed is crucial. Let's launch a surprise attack tonight - Armor Warrior, everyone, assemble!"

As I summoned, the whole forest was engulfed in black mist. After it dissipated, the army of armored soldiers surrounded the camp - a total of 100 soldiers.

Everyone looked at the warriors...

"That's the plan!" #Milia

"Desu~" #Silena

"I'll take care of the gatekeeper's head." #Lucia

Randia is only a few kilometers away from here. After summoning the warriors, I should have full MP by dawn. With the current amount of MP, even if these 100 soldiers are eliminated, I can summon three more times, which means a total of 400 soldiers. If we make full use of them, it shouldn't be difficult to capture a city or a fortress in the other world.

Summoning them in advance also has its reasons. We need to lure scouts and let the local lords know that enemies are attacking, so they will send out their armies to exterminate us.

This way, we can avoid encountering Rank S or even Rank G opponents from the beginning. It's more important to fight against the guards and the army at first to earn experience and PP points.

On our side, although we only have an army of 100, we will definitely be very fierce in battle, after all, we won't get tired. And considering the speed of returning to Lan, we can almost summon another soldier even if we die.

And leveling up will automatically replenish MP and increase PP points, unlocking new summons and artifacts. We will definitely win!

Once we accumulate enough points, unlock the Level 7 summoning familiar, we will be on par with Rank G adventurers...

"Alright, let's march at night!"

"Ooh!!!"

Following my instructions, Milia, Lucia, and Silena mounted the wolves first.

I was about to jump on when someone grabbed my belt.

Celia...

"W-Wait, I am the Third Princess of Westinia-"

"Good, we've captured an important enemy figure. With this as a shield, our survival rate will greatly increase."

Before Celia could finish speaking, Lucia grabbed her.

If Celia really is a highly valued princess, she would indeed be a good bargaining chip, at least ensuring a safe retreat...

"If you dare to act up, I'll let Lolo eat you!"

Louise was also prodded onto a wolf by Silena with a spear.
