Chapter 1060: Control (1)
"You should go back. This isn't the place for you." I said to the giant standing beside the walls that I was on.
Alidus looked forward at the undead that were in the distance before saying, "I said that I was following you, so I'll follow you. Not to mention, I'll be able to help if things go wrong."
I had no doubt of this, but that wasn't the problem.
With a sigh, I said, "This is a matter for our Kite Kingdom, you should have stayed in the capital and left this matter to us. There's no need for you to come all this way and put yourself in danger like this."
But Alidus just shook his head and said, "I said that I was here to follow you and that's what I'm doing."
I gave another sigh without saying anything else.
I knew that there was no point talking to him when he was like this.
We had already tried to convince him of this, but he still came along.
It wasn't as if we could just use force to stop him from following us since he was here as a guest. Not to mention, it wasn't as if we would actually want to hurt Alidus.
So the only thing that we could do was let him come along even though we tried talking him out of it.
Still, there was a small part of me that was touched because of his words.
I turned my attention back to the horde of undead that was approaching this station that was at the border. There was a wall here because this was where one of the main roads into the former Darius Kingdom was.
It was strange that the undead were heading for here instead of just crossing at any point in the border, but it seemed that they were heading in this direction specifically.
If I had to guess, it was most likely because they sensed that there was a large number of living people that were here. They were guards that were stationed at this border to watch the road.
All of them seemed terrified at this moment when they looked at the undead, but it didn't seem like they were panicking.
That was because there were wyverns here.
With the wyverns standing guard, things shouldn't go too badly.
With the wyverns here, it shouldn't be a problem for them to run if things did go wrong.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
After staring at the undead for a bit, I raised the orb that was in my hand.
Looking down at this orb for a bit, I suddenly closed my eyes and focused as if I was trying to sense the energy of the orb.
While I was doing this, there was a reaction that came from the orb. There were wisps of dark energy that seemed to come from the orb as I stood there with my eyes closed.
But then they disappeared when I suddenly opened my eyes.
I didn't say a single thing as I looked out at the undead that were in front of us with narrowed eyes.
After a long silence, I suddenly said, "I'm going out for a bit."
Everyone that was around me was shocked when they heard this before they said, "We're coming with you!"
That was because all of them were here to guard me.
Since I had come all this way, naturally the prime minister and the chancellor assigned guards for me.
Half of the royal guards were sent along even though they were tired from our trip to the Land of Giants.
It would have been more if not for the fact that they were needed in other places to deal with monsters. They had been away long enough that they couldn't be allowed to go anywhere else, so they could only send half of the royal guards to come with me.
But I just shook my head and said, "I'll be going on Joan and I'll be flying above them, so there's no need. If there are too many of you, I won't be able to do what I want to do."
"As long as you promise that you'll stay in the sky and won't engage them." Klein said in a serious voice.
If it was before, he wouldn't have spoken to me like this.
But now it seemed like he was talking to me like he was my babysitter.
I didn't mind this at all, it was even a sign that we had gotten much closer.
Though I'm sure that he would certainly complain if he had the chance to do so.
Still, his conditions were fine since I wasn't planning on attacking them in the first place. There was something that I was planning to do and I needed to get closer to be able to do it. After seeing that I agreed, Klein saddled up with a sigh.
It seemed that he was going to come along whether I allowed it or not, but this was fine. As long as it was a small group, it didn't matter if a few of them came along.
Of course, Alidus was out even though he tried to come along.
He only settled down when I told him that he would be in the way.
Once we set off, we flew up into the sky above the undead horde, but we didn't go down to engage them. I had Joan fly up above the undead horde as if we were looking down on them. The others just looked at me with confused looks on their faces as if they couldn't understand what I was doing.
I didn't mind the way that they looked at me as I continued looking down at the undead that were below, but there was something that appeared in my hand during this time.
There was an orb that appeared that I held up in front of me.
While I was doing this, there were wisps of dark energy that came from the orb.
It didn't seem like anything was happening until all of a sudden...
There were undead that started attacking the other undead.
